I've discovered the saddest webcomic. That's a reasonably representative sample, I am thinking.

Why can't I stop laughing at these things.

EDIT: I take it back, the only possible response here is "D'awwww"
That is a really interesting style for a webcomic. I think the best description of it would be a series of small thoughts inaudibly half-whispered to one's self in a solitary moment.

I hate to say it, but have you tried just going to Best Buy and asking if they have any copies of XP laying around?  They can't be hard to get, and there's still tons of computers that use it.  I dunno how much it'd cost, but it can't be much.
I called.

 It's $150 to do a repair service. This includes just installing the OS.

It is Friday night.  I have no serious homework.

I am currently studying German.

I don't really know.  I feel kind of lonely... maybe I'll call up my mom or something, read a book.  I feel sort of like something is missing.


This is all being compounded by the fact that Professor Honeydew is exactly the sort of person I would absolutely love to be friends with, but again we are separated by age and power structures.

Man, I regret not learning how to do that whole telekinesis thing. Had I, there would be offers of hugs. Also, pranks, but probably not aimed at you. More aimed toward trolling the scientific community. For starters, a teapot in orbit around the Sun.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, hugs would be nice >:I

[hug]

Also, making Russel's Teapot happen would also make me very, very happy.  It would be spectacular.

I just spent the last three hours running around trying to get my father medical treatment after he stood up into a counter and acquired a rather dramatically bleeding but ultimately superficial head wound.

Now that I think about it, putting a teapot into space may actually be feasible on a small budget. Russel's Teapot not only doesn't specify a minimum size, but actually favors a size as small as possible. A miniature teapot about the size of a grain of sand could probably be done for a few thousand. The Falcon 9 rockets have a to-LEO price of about $7000 per kg; though the most difficult bit would be convincing other companies with spare room on their mission to allow you to shove your mini-rocket into the payload, as it's a very small price while increasing their mission's risk. Using a very small, lightweight design, a simple solar powered electric propulsion engine could probably be done with a few hundred grams and still have enough power to leave earth orbit (starting from the LEO of the Falcon 9 rocket). Best of all, it would be too small for any sort of tracking devices, so you would never be quite sure if it actually reached or remained in orbit around the sun. :D

Whole thing is just... feh. Humans.
There is even a Screenshot of the thing before it was deleted, to get an idea of what we're dealing with here.

 It's nice seeing that a majority of the comments are discouraging negative comments towards this person, knowing all the crap that can cause a person to do something like this.

10 PM -> too exhausted to contemplate staying awake.

Tomorrow -> One hell of a lot of work.

Well, let's get going, I guess.

My friend wants to get us into a pro League of Legends tournament to make thousands of dollars.  We spent all night getting our heads handed to us in normal and ranked games.  Yeah I'm going to tell him off, and say he should get a job or get to work on that flash game we wanted to make...

Dear Brain,

I'd appreciate it if I'd stop having dreams about my High School girlfriend being in situations where I can't avoid seeing her and feel crushingly ashamed and pathetic. That's so in the past it's not even funny. Fuck you.

Sincerely, your host body,

Josh

P.S. Also, stop making me drool on my pillows, what's even up with that? I never used to do that before, but now I wake up to a deluge of saliva each morning.

Ugh, new burn~
Not really an issue, but my roommate is so annoying about burns that I just cover them in large sports band-aids and pass them off as scratches or scrapes~ :\
Of course, it's really a shitty way to dress a burn wound~
