Americans are literally working themselves to death and/or burnout.

I don't know, it could certainly be a lot worse, like with Japan's workforce. Apparently death by overwork isn't uncommon there.

I'm named after my grandfather on my dad's side, who I never met.  He worked himself to death in his mid-30's.  Slowly ground himself down, and his last days were spent on a business trip while sick with a flu.  The night he returned, he laid down on the couch and died.

Having grown up with that story attached to my name, the expectations placed on people today piss me off.  They piss me off immensely.  And I'm incredibly afraid of going the same way as my namesake, and currently feel that's where I'm headed.  I need to get out of my current job.  It's sucking the life out of me.  The problem is, the only way to improve my situation is to WORK HARDER.

As insightful and though-provoking as it is, could we move the economics discussion to another thread please?

I was idly browsing Gamersgate for deals. An advertisement caught my eye:

Terribly sorry about that .jpg compression, but it's not really worth fixing.

(Seems to be some sort of parody, old-style JRPG. As I have just enough blue coins, and don't see myself amassing enough to buy a more expensive game, I fear I will shortly succumb to impulse-buying desires. My curiosity will only bug me otherwise.)

We should form some sort of Justice League-esque sort of super hero group here

Cfoofoo obviously should be the leader.

Got two strange emails today... one from Gmail that says two other emails are associated with my current one.  I recognize those two emails, I made them ages ago and forgot about them.  But why wait until now to tell me they're associated?  Or is someone attempting to recover the passwords to my old emails?  That's not good.

And another strange email from something called Vodafone Prepaid Mobile Broadband.  The email looks very official, even has an account number and ID and everything.  The phone number is an Australian one o_O  I uh... don't recall signing up for a phone service in Australian, considering I'm in America and all.  I uh... need to check my bank account really quick.

edit: no strange bank activity.  Ok I guess the person in Austrailia put my email down accidently or something.

So, along with food today, we were handing out clothes. According to the guy I was having a conversation with at that particular moment(he was facing in the direction), some greasy-looking Mexican guy picked a pair of women's underwear and started sniffing it. I didn't see it myself, but when I turned to look, he was stuffing something pink into his belt under his shirt.

Could simply be he was bringing them back to a spouse. And considering the quality at some free clothing places, one would want to make sure they are clean before doing so. He may not be as much a creep as he first appears.

Your level of generosity and skill in benefit-of-doubt giving is inspirational.

Edit: Never mind, guess the guy was just trolling us for a second.

My lacrimal sac keeps shivering at random times of the day and squirting tears into my eye.

Wow, someone just registered an Acer product using my email.  I'd uh... like to have a nice chat with whoever is doing this and explain whose email belongs to who <_<

Twofer: I was using my punching bag, when suddenly, a welding helmet came crashing into my head.

A) Daaah, welding helmet! *klonk*
B) Why the hell was a welding helmet wedged into the rafters of the garage?

It's an awesome game, you should totally buy it.

I just found a bunch of jpg pictures in my recycle bin. They are labelled from 1 to 15. When you click properties, it says their origin is "piss"...

Alright, what the fuck is happening?
