That was the third time today someone's mentioned it was valentine's day and I realized I had forgotten it was even today. It's a pretty low key holiday if you don't, like, turn on a TV or something, I guess.

[Rolan7]

Yeah my partner didn't remember either, or care
Worked out great, since I remembered but was mostly anxious about what to do.  Silly cultural expectations.  We had a nice long chat about books and personal things, it was a mix of lovely and serious.  I feel great about it all <3

(There was an aspect of "wait, I'm kinda a girlfriend, am I expected to expect something??" followed by "...nah this is chill <3")

Unless people tell me I don't remember most holidays.

Romantical valentines day sucks. Reach beyond it's capitalist cage into it's origins as a celebration of the beginning of spring and in the general area of this time of year because do something in the springy warmth of the returning sun, whether with friends or partners or both

Valentine's cards and decorations were literally for sale like the day after Christmas here.

Today I woke up proud owner of 5 chickens lol... Sunday I had spotted the white one, and tried to lure it back with some cereals... Except now I have to assume I lead it to the wrong chicken coop because there were some among them today that I had never seen, and I got one coop right below my window, I know the ones that live there.

It was an understandable mistake, turns out both chicken colonies' bravest chicken is white and leaner than the others. I hate roosters but I enjoy watching the chickens scavenge. All the animals love our yard because we're entirely surrounded by hedges. They can come over whenever they want, just don't get lost or caught, I need no rumours.

I haven't been inside a business that sells cards or decorations in like three or four years

I had a lapse in judgment and got caught by a police patrol car doing 85mph in a 60mph zone. It was late night, no other traffic (except one pesky car behind me  ), and I was incredibly familiar with the roads - - I didn't even realise quite how fast I was going.

Anyway they pulled me over, the policewoman thought I was a student (yay youthful looks?). She said normally I'd require a court appearance, but I seemed like a decent sort and to just be more careful for the remainder of my journey.

Needless to say - - - - I was.

Cruise control is your friend, really. The machine is far less likely to make a lapse in judgement and not realize how fast they're going.

... regardless, I'd probably recommend just not speeding like that, no matter how familiar you are with the road or how little traffic there seems to be, especially late at night. It's entirely too easy for there to be something other than a vehicle in the road and you be going too fast to see it before you hit it, and unless the distance is quite significant, you're not saving much time. If you just want to go fast, go find a raceway.

You don't even have to be speeding for that to happen, for that matter, driving late and just in the 60s (the speed limit for the road) is what put a drive shaft through the bottom of my car at one point. Some colossal fucker had left one in the middle of the highway, it got me and multiple other people before someone figured out what was going on and moved the damn thing.

Yea, I'm aware. What I wrote was an explanation, not a justification.

Heh, pretty stupid of me all around.

Spoiler: fair (click to show/hide)

135km/h on the only straight with half a kilometer visibility is what my cost me my permit, blind justitia barely missed me but luckily some shithead judge managed to sit long enough on his hands so there could be less than 3 years between the judgment and the deed... unlike between the deed and the deed... I didn't get to speak to the blueboy who took my picture, there is the biggest difference

thank you motherfucker dutch caravan that took half an hour of my life to drive 90kmh for the first time when I can finally get past him... good thing the whole region is at the service of useless shithead tourists that leave no money here because dutch people will bring their picknick from some aldi in limburg and leave the packaging in a natural reserve ECONOMIC SUPERSTITIONS BABY.... like they they closed a vital street for two years but considered reopening shortly over winter so the fucking flemish could come do some ski... idk who municipal politicians work for, but clearly not for the people who live here

fuck driving cars, fuck 100+km/h in a one ton metalbox, fuck road taxes, fuck autosecurité.be, fuck everybody who studies the law and their weakass offspring that glues themselves to the road (nobody raised by working people would come up with such a pathethic form of protest)

MOTHERFUCKERS YOU LOST OUT ON SO MUCH TAX REVENUE... FUCK YOU, I WILL DIE BEFORE I CONFORM AGAIN TO BOOMER MOBILITY, AND I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME IF YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE

wanker bike vendors
wanker judges
wanker automobile industry
wanker state

I will show you all

I gave a girl a rose and two chocolate cigars for Valentine's Day. Nothing serious, but I liked doing it.

I hope that’s not a euphemism, or reference to Clinton’s proclivities.

Because of the implications?

[King Zultan]

How can you smoke a chocolate cigar anyway, last I heard is that chocolate melts and produces no smoke, so what good is a cigar made from it?
