It is?

Shit, I'm going to town tomorrow/today.

[Bouchart]

Want to go on GoG, but it appears to be having some problems.

Works properly for me.

I found the book I mentioned in the WTF thread, brand new, for less than $20. An amazing bargain...if they weren't completely out of stock and had no option to special order a copy.

You know what I hate? I hate how often I see people just shooting other people's ideas like they're so much smarter, and then not offering up any ideas themselves. If you're just going to be an asshole, shut the fuck up. If you have something USEFUL to add to the conversation, do so. Just shooting down every idea that comes up is NOT something useful.

^This.

VCRs. I'm typing this with my left hand as I'm holding down the rewind button with my right. The VCR stops rewinding if I'm not holding it.

Sometimes I have to type with my right hand because my wife sleeps on the left one.
But yes, VCRs suck.

Still raging about work. Stupid Michigan, Y U NO HAVE MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN SHIFTS? I need sleep, damn it!

So I learned the hard way that region licking is still a thing.

No, I'm not gonna fix that typo, it's just too glorious.

Fuck you, 48-hour Steam sales combined with me sleeping late and now having two hours to use them, while Steam is simultaneously still acting up at the worst possible time.

I guess I'll just see what the next good games on sale are. There're always a few.

It all depends on how it's done. That's pretty much my position in family decision-making: Something gets pitched, and I point out flaws and just generally argue for the status quo. If the issue's not important, it'll die a relatively swift death; if it is, a good solution will soon be found - as opposed to the "This seems like it will probably work" solution that would be implemented without me.

One thing to remember when discussing criticism-without-suggestions is that you don't have to really be knowledgeable about solutions to understand that there are problems.

Ex: I'm no chef, but I can tell when food tastes bad. I can watch a movie and be bored without being a director or knowing much about how movies are made. I can be an employee in a workplace and know when shit ain't working without having any ideas as to how to fix it (though of course I will, as will everyone else).

Yeah it's great to have solutions to problems when pointing them out, but it's not required. On the other hand, one can be doing this solely to be obnoxious and obstructive (which could've been the case with whatever Hans was talking about).

There are times when you realize human stupidity has far surpassed satire, and you are left asking yourself;
Why?

Wait... are you telling me people's clothes aren't their skin? So what do they do when they want to change clothes, do something other than altering their physiology?

A few nights ago, I was clipping down the sides of my toenails(goddamn ingrown nails), and I accidentally clip too deep into both my left big toe and left little toe. I go into the bathroom and pour some rubbing alcohol to clean them, then go to bed. The next morning I go into the bathroom to clean them again and I find that the bottle of rubbing alcohol and a bottle of witch hazel I passed over because I'm not sure exactly what witch hazel is or if that's what it's for, have been removed. Then I hear my mom mention something about my stepdad was up doing something at 4AM in the morning. So, apparently, I can even disinfect my cuts now.

And then, today, before I leave to go to the library+other stuff, I had to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, my stepdad had to chose that very moment to wash the bathtub. When I asked if I could go in there before he starts, he tells me to wait until he's done(knowing full well I am trying to leave as soon as I can), and that it should only take 5 minutes. Ten minutes later, he finally lets me in, after also having taken time to mop the floor.
This is the same person who once cut power to the entire house because he thought somebody(me, in fact) was in the bathroom when he needed to go, without even so much as bothering to check if the bathroom was empty.

Another staple of the classroom - white paper - has also been questioned by Anne O'Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity.

And suddenly the cost of education skyrockets past what most of the peasants can afford(and many can't even now, even with free public education), because color paper is not cheap at all. I commented on that part because that was the only one not so unbelievably stupid that commenting on it would cause brain damage to myself.

Actually unbleached paper can be cheaper. It's kind of brown though.
