Random Thoughts 2: Arbitrary Speculations

[Ryika]

There's a quiz that can determine whether you're conservative or liberal based on how you respond to unsavory questions.

https://chartsme.com/

I'm 16% conservative, 84% liberal.

It's a great way to support your inclinations. If you're conservative, liberals are depraved. If you're liberal, conservatives are close-minded.

74% liberal

Would probably be more if I wasn't generally disgusted of being anywhere near other people.

But after reading about the method I wonder... does this mean compulsive hoarders are generally Liberals?

Anyway... now I have forgotten why I was even here, a brilliant thought, likely lost forever.

Given @The_J 's recent raves, does this mean he is now a Chad?

After finally looking this up on UrbanDictionary and Wikipedia...I seriously hope not .

That definition was pretty humorous. I liked all the synonyms.

I think following twitch and youtube drama is my new hobby. It's like debating politics, just that you don't have to try to take a neutral stance because in the end it's really a lot of noise about nothing anyway. Just pick your team of idiots and yell at the idiots on the other team - such amazingly fun times. Alinity is clearly a liar who gets favors from Twitch, and Pewds is right about everything he says. But she is 10% black, so she CAN, in fact, say the N-word.

You don't have to try to take a neutral stance anywhere, hombre.

 

[Ryika]

Well no, technically I don't have to, but I really hate when I realize that I've bought into nonsense when it comes to the political sphere, as political beliefs very much make you who you are in society on a very fundamental level.

Twitch Drama is more like a guilty pleasure that doesn't actually affect the rest of your life that much.

/edit: And of course I mean neutral in the sense that I want to look at information from an angle that is as objective as I can be, not that I take a "centrist" position.

I hate the indifferent. I believe that living means taking sides. Those who really live cannot help being a citizen and a partisan. Indifference and apathy are parasitism, perversion, not life. That is why I hate the indifferent.

While that is a great quote, I think it's not an appropriate response to Ryika's post.

It was merely a random thought I had.

My war against sunlight in the lands of never summer darkness. Part 5: I installed a second roll of black-out blinds to cover the light coming in through on the sides of the first one at my bedroom window. Your move, sun.

 

[Arakhor]

Your move, sun.

Twelve hours west, I believe.

My war against sunlight in the lands of never summer darkness. Part 5: I installed a second roll of black-out blinds to cover the light coming in through on the sides of the first one at my bedroom window. Your move, sun.

Sun (thinking to itself): In several billion years I'll be a red giant. Snerk's bedroom will be toast, with or without blinds.

Your move, human.

 

[Snerk]

Twelve hours west, I believe.

That reminds me of an east Germany joke:

Spoiler :

Early in the morning, Honecker arrives at his office and opens his window. He greets the Sun, saying: "Good morning, dear Sun!" — "Good morning, dear Erich!" Honecker works, and then at noon he heads to the window and says: "Good day, dear Sun!" — "Good day, dear Erich!" In the evening, Erich calls it a day, and heads once more to the window, and says: "Good evening, dear Sun!" Hearing nothing, Honecker says again: "Good evening, dear Sun! What's the matter?" The sun retorts: "Kiss my arse. I'm in the West now!"

Sun (thinking to itself): In several billion years I'll be a red giant. Snerk's bedroom will be toast, with or without blinds.

Your move, human.

Fun fact: even during the sun's red giant phase, it's still won't be shorts weather in summertime northern Norway.

Fun fact: To inject an inconvenient bit of reality, according to current knowledge, it's quite likely Earth itself won't be here during the Sun's red giant phase.

To quote the Borg: In that case, shorts are irrelevant.

Further funfactery: When the earth is completely engulfed by the expanding sun, it will still be that slightly too cold for sandals in northern Norway

I think the best part of being a bus driver must be waving at the other bus drivers you pass on your route.

 

[Synobun]

I thought it was driving by people waiting at a stop without a care in the world.

 

[Lexicus]

My favorite part of biking around in college was passing right next to buses packed full of other students

It's a little insensitive, but I find some humour in TransLink teaming up with Visa to get Morgan Freeman to voice some of our transit vehicles and locations only to have it released 48 hours later that he's also a perpetrator in the Hollywood sexual misconduct scandals.

Shockingly, they're pausing the roll-out of this voice over.

Aargh ! Morgan Freeman too ?

Hold on...

He's 80 years old. He's accused of sexual harassment of eight women.
That...honestly...doesn't sound that bad. Actually pretty decent for his generation.

So, for now Morgan Freeman is still in my book of cool people.
If more and worse stuff comes out I'll Denounce And Reject him.
If it becomes a Cosby Situation he's a monster.
Until then, I don't really care.
