Beers are very effective bribes though.

[Eric Blank]

Serve crust beer at your next corporate management party.

We just fed our leftover vegetables to the pig. Now the pig is gone though, we've been throwing them away again. I miss piggy. Only a couple weeks left until bacon arrives though. Which is kinda sad actually. But she was very old and lost the ability to stand and run around. It was inevitable.

Are you sleeping/eating/drinking enough?

Could also be the time of year, I tend to get sick between Winter and Spring and Autumn and Winter.

I drink several liters of water a day, eat a lot, and sleep around 7 to 8 hours. Probably just the spring.

Underdevelopped forehead, harder than a foreman grill,
football punted your head and it's in orbit still.

Today I tanked a 25kg massive wood table to the head. It makes me livid to hurt myself for work. But I'm starting to get why one of my colleagues calls me hulk... I don't know why I tank shit like that, I shouldn't I'm not built like that and I weigh like 75kg tops after christmas, but I guess it's genetic since my dad survived more than one potentially fatal accident in his lifetime.

I think I have a weird relationship to pain... I'm more indignated at the concept that I shaved some life expectancy off for my employer. TBH one moment shortly after I was like "fuuck if my bong only wacked me like that". Now I just really wanna go, I'm a little hyped, I feel invincible.

I'm doing spring prep for my car.  Change oil.  Take off winter tires to put on summer ones. Checking brakes in the process.  Yeah rears need new pads, change them out.  Right rear - easy peasy.  Left rear... oh crap, one of the caliper bolt seals tore, and it rusted solid. if I could extract it I'd just replace the bolt, but nope, that bolt is now One with the Caliper Bracket.

I suppose I could put the OLD pads back on, because where the bushing froze, I can't put the caliper back on with new pads because they are of course too fat.  Doesn't seem like the wise course of action though, and luckily I don't really need to do any driving until Tuesday.

The part wasn't at my local auto parts store, but was at a sister store the next town over, so should be here tomorrow. I'd just have driven to the other store using my wife's car - but she is meeting with friends tonight and has to leave before I'd be able to get back.

I also have car issues but they seem to be worse than one break pad, since they involve something electronic that controls the starting and staying running, which made today a fun trip to the store that took several hours longer than it should have but at least we got it going long enough to eventually get it to a garage, even if we did have to push it with a car the last 100 yards.

got spat at while out doing nothing in particular with my gf

[hector13]

Read an article about an LGBT author of gay young adult novels having a visit to a Catholic school cancelled and the fallout from that between the local clergy and the school staff.

Decided to look up the author and his “highly sexualized take on the Lord’s Prayer” and read a ridiculously biased article from a religious POV citing various psychologists without longing out that these psychologists are anti-LGBT, ironically misinterpreting a tweet from the author in an article about the author allegedly gaslighting his novels as having no LGBT content (he was referring to something else in the tweet), and the single comment in the article written by what appeared to be a reasonably intelligent person insisting that homosexuality is fake because scientists haven’t found a gay gene, school children quizzes on their homosexuality have different answers when asked later, (though for some reason didn’t seem to consider that in terms of heterosexuality at the same time) and that acting on homosexual desires is a sin, though that one is fairly big standard religious fair.

Then I looked up the psychologists mentioned in the article and I’m sad either because these cunts are using the ever-present moral panic about sexualizing children to gain some notoriety in their field, or they actually believe that it’s happening in every facet of the various media that kids consume on the reg and are crusading against the slightest hint of kids coming into contact with anything to do with sex, even if it’s to teach them about it and things like consent and shit.

TL;DR clever people can be the most fucking stupid when it comes to moral crusading, and give a veneer of respectability to properly cunty positions on things like LGBT rights and education.

I hate gamers nexus... Why TF would you require 12signs + upper AND lowercase on a site where an account is entirely superfluous... Then somehow some file you're dependant on is listed but not available for download. Everytime.

As far as I can tell heterosexuality is treated as "not only sexual" but homosexuality is treated as not having a romantic or family-life dimension, and certainly as though those could not be the primary aspect of the relationship. If romance and family were first, the thought goes, the person in question would not be homoing it up. It is not a serious relationship.

(See also the dude visiting the house who saw me with me and my gf (she was sitting on me) and hit on me repeatedly as though his eyes didn't work)

Thus simple things like talking and holding hands are treated as though the participants were stripped naked and humping.

In some ways, I both pity and envy those who can be satisfied with life by simply yelling at others that they are "living wrong".

But I mostly hate them for trying to control others.
It's a human falicy: We can control little in our lives from the moment we're born to our inevitable death, so we try to make up for that by controlling other human beings. Let go people.

I think part of the issue at least from the religious side is that the more preachy flavours seem to think it’s their job to “save” others according to their particular brand of Truth^tm, so they’ll go out of their way to make a nuisance (or worse!) of themselves in order to achieve that particular goal, as though there’s a tally waiting for them at the end with someone carrying a clipboard expecting them to have met some kind of savior quota.

And that "or worse!" is what I risk if I ever try to get a boyfriend. The attitude against the gay is off the charts here. I will be a moving target for pretty much anyone a bit religious.

Even the heteronormativity culture here as a whole is warped into a hyperpatriachal clusterfuck of disjointed, ancient tradition. It doesn't even resembles anything anymore.

I have two options. Live my own being incomplete and always keep a part of myself a secret, while suffering through societal expectations that are impossible to tackle for me. Or take a huge leap of trust in a place dominated by a dead conglomerate husk of a culture puppeteered by a 7th century personality cult gone rogue after its leaders death.

One of our hens laid an egg with no shell today, which is slightly worrying since they have access to calcium and a supplemented feed. Hopefully it's just a fluke and nothing more serious, if an egg were to burst inside then it's basically game over for a chicken and shell-less eggs are much more likely to do so.

We have enough dead chickens in the sad patch, we don't need anymore for a while.
