New sad:
Sister is writing an essay about how marriage is between a man and woman only, and somehow gay marriage in the US is against the principlesDeclaration of Independence because it somehow... Compromises the equality of all human beings? She's quoting Kim Davis as a source.  :'(
Granting rights of marriage to a group that previously did not have rights that another group had, ie broadening the range of "equality" between people of various different groups, compromises the Declaration of Independence's concept that all people are "created equal" and have certain inalienable rights?

...How does that make any coherent logical sense. I suppose maybe it could make sense if you took a strict constructionist view at the Declaration and argue that the writers had a set ideal in mind when writing it and anything that does not meet that ideal violates it. But using this view you can argue that women are not created equally because it does not refer specifically to women, only saying that "all men are created equal". So there'd be worse violations than just gay marriage. There'd be the whole women's rights thing. And anything else that's modern and deviates from how life was for the writers of the Declaration. So it's kinda a flawed view.

Irregardless, your sister sounds like she doesn't really understand what she's writing about. Sounds like she's just trying to say "gay marriage is teh bads mkay" rather than debate the ideology of a foreign nation's founding documents.

That's stupid. She's stupid. I'm mildly peeved at her stupids. Ugh. Sorry for ranting.

The world would be a much better place if people would stop complaining about who other people want to bang.

2) Vital "Other": Meds, eye-doctors, dentists, physio therapy, these things are typically covered by workplace or school provided insurance, and can be expensive if you don't have insurance, but very few Canadians have to pay much for these things.
... and prescription medication is paid for by the NHB in New Zealand! WE'RE BETTER THAN CANADA AT SOMETHING.

Also black rights because that wasn't a unilateral thing when they made the damn thing.

Fuckingdammit dreams stop taunting me. I already struggle with the reality of not being able to be with her I do not need dreams that I cannot forget no matter how hard I try tantalizing me about the prospect that will never happen in the first place fuckshithoflglibnozgarkass

As a side note, whatever action you take Miaw I'd recommend you do something or other before you possibly end up in my situation, it's not an enviable one and I can't get myself out of it.
I'm fairly sure that I know how you feel, I've had those dreams too and they suck :x

Head feels like a cloud today. Not sure if I'm tired (even though I think I had enough sleep for the most part, more than previous days atleast) or if it's a cold coming up to annoy me. Either way, it's making me feel shit and unproductive for the most part, I think a nice shot of sugar would help in the short term but I really don't want that right now.

Amount of anger and derp on the lower forums seems to have increased considerably in the last week (I'm sure the events in Paris is partially the cause). It's getting exhausting.

Paris and the whole refugee thing, I think. The whole European politics section has been a crapshot the last couple weeks.

yeah

only coping mechanism i've found is to stop taking anything you folks say seriously, with very few exceptions

this may have a side effect of increasing the volume of derp, however

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

asdasdad

i hope my liver can take it. it's only for a few days but i've had to do it at least twice before. between potential liver damage and "oh my god my brain/ear is literally being spiked" i'll take the former, cuz it's "potential"

Well, try to keep it on the low-down as much as you can. Which I'm sure you're already doing. Good luck, ear pain sucks.

Maybe mix in some ibuprofen or antacids or something? Keep from overloading on any one drug.

Good idea. I'll get some ibuprofen so I can space out both types of pain mediciation without killing myself.

(Acetaminophen and ibuprofen don't interact badly so it should work fine)

Dozed off on the train home, had some dream that I'm pretty sure was totally amazing, then woke up as the stop two stations past mine was announced, had a groggy 'ohshit' moment once my sleepy brain realised what was wrong and then promptly forgot whatever it was that I was dreaming about.       

Also earlier on unexplained stomach cramps put a serious dampener on my evening (and possibly caused me to get lost, miss the last train home and have to wait hours for the next one), but I'm more annoyed by forgetting that enjoyable, elusive dream.
Was really bugging me as I shuffled off to switch trains.

The shitty F2P Korean grindfest MMO that I play recently changed hands. Now instead of being run highly incompetently, it's being run astoundingly incompetently. Announced events never materialize, new features fail to work as intended, minor bugfix patches add new bugs that render the game unplayable for days.

Just yesterday they ended a limited-time sales event a week early without warning, and then went back and edited the dates on the news post so it would look like it was always supposed to end yesterday. I'd intended to buy a couple of the event items this week from other players, but now the price has doubled overnight. Not cooool.

If anyone here actually recognizes what game I'm talking about, I'll be both impressed and dismayed. :P
