It's better than the price of a castle in the US, at least.

Also, does anyone else find it weird that, even though the American spelling of a lot of words like centre and litre is center and liter, we still call them castles rather than castels?

It's different with "L"s. They don't change, as far as I'm aware.
Even if they do change more reliably that I'm aware, the silent "T" is also pretty screwy.

The other week, I visited the Natural History Museum in London and spent literally two hours in the mineral gallery.

Is it bad that I really, really, really wanted a mug made from microcline after seeing the sample they have in there?

I just googled microline and now i also want a mug made out of it >_<

Microcline is a nice colour. Sadly, 'microcline mug' didn't pull up much of interest in a Google image search. Except a bunch of Dwarf Fort screenshots and maybe cartoon Stan Lee.

My friends are mad at me for playing PvP in Final Fantasy. I don't understand. At the current point of the game I am at it is the only way to get decent gear. Not far enough in the main story to do end-game stuff.

Also found out that there's more to the story of my mom's boyfriend storming off to find a hooker a few weeks ago. He first tried to get with his ex-wife. He texted her asking to meet up, and against her better judgment, she agreed. Then disagreed when they met up. Or maybe she just wanted to scream in his face when they met in person.

Big surprise that she got angry upon speaking with him. In other shocking news, the Earth is round and water is wet. I don't know why he thought of doing any of this. My mom thinks it was to make her jealous or get revenge or something. If that's his reasoning, then he is an idiot and oblivious to his relationship problems.

The keyboard on my tablet changed when upated, so now i keeo hiting wrobg buttobe help!

The backspace key moved down two rows, so the key's spacing shifted. But I just figured out how to fix it! Deactivate mandarin! The real problem was that the pinyin keyboard doesn't have uppercase...

Now, my real WTF is mangosteen juice. What is it? Why have mango/mangosteen juice mixed together in one container?

Crossposting from rage thread:

Some asshole is trying to convince me that I'm anti-semetic for liking some of the Cthulhu Mythos books. I'm Jewish. They're literally accusing me of being racist against myself. What the fuck.

Ok... where the heck did you get Anime Stan Lee from?

[Orange Wizard]

Now I want a microcline mug and an Anime Stan Lee mug.

[Sirus]

Ok... where the heck did you get Anime Stan Lee from?

Apparently it's from an anime called Heroman.

Dad is clueless.

Mom has him watching Hunger Games and he clearly doesn't like it one bit / keeps asking what the point is disdainfully.

I just want to scream at him, "Is she yelling her head off while this movie is playing...?" No, she is not. She usually is. That is the point, so shut up. You're lucky you're not being dragged out to sit through some show and get to sit on your sofa.

It's called consequentialist reasoning. You take into account the consequences of your actions and do the best thing to get the best result you can. Come on.

She's not mentally stable, and she's oddly enough found something she doing instead of screaming. Forget the movie; forget all of it. Shut the hell up and be glad she isn't screaming and arguing. Smile and nod if you have to. Jesus man....

Fuck, everything else, you're not seeing the forest for the trees.

Crazy woman is not screaming. That's everything. [shiver]

[Orange Wizard]

Wait, what? Is he clueless because he's protesting watching a movie he doesn't want to watch? Or is there something I'm missing?

[Zangi]

@Truean: He may be freaking out about the not screaming or something.  Maybe he even takes solace in it?


2 deer racing across the highway, one of em gets hit by one of the cars in front of me, head on.  The second was like lightning... but... I think the poor sod tripped and the momentum carried the deer even quicker then normal.  It was something alright.

[Truean]

Expressly, "Happy wife; Happy life."

Men are often circumstantially clueless Orange Wizard, and yes, like many of them, you are missing something. It's not your fault really. All men, everywhere, shut the hell up and learn a thing or two if you have difficulty dealing with your significant other. The sooner you get this, the better off you'll be.

He doesn't wanna watch it because he's bored. The movie is boring, but who the fuck cares. (no question mark) The ballet is boring. The opera. The play is boring. The god damn whatever is boring.

You are totally missing the entire point by looking for one. It is closer than it is too far. He could be being dragged to a ballet or some fucking opera sung in some other fucking language. He could be watching some dancing routine he absolutely would fucking hate more than life itself or a chick flick with nothing but 2 hours of romance novel level rejected material. A fucking movie with violence and fighting in it isn't nearly as bad.

You're going to do things you don't wanna in life, especially when your significant other drags you to them. IT WILL HAPPEN. Get over it. Trust me, sitting at home through a movie like Hunger Games is FAR from the worst thing he could be dragged to....

He has a choice and it is simply this: he can either watch the damn movie or he can be screamed at. End of discussion for him. It has nothing to do with what you want and the idea itself is laughable. Lesser of two evils. Chose wisely.

(Edit: I've been there at the end of a LOT of relationships).

[Tiruin]

Err, isn't the term of 'people' better instead of 'men'? 
And by that, its within the attitude rather than what is being seen as reason?
Reason goes parallel with thinking. If your dad may not be thinking that way, he may not be reasoning along the same tangent you may be.

He has a choice and it is simply this: he can either watch the damn movie or he can be screamed at.

There...are only two choices? As in, when not free/watching a movie == scream at? ._.
Isn't that more of a response to a bad stimulus rather than a free choice?

Still...that whole situation.
:s

[itisnotlogical]

All I can say is, I'm glad I watched Hunger Games when I was single and thus could switch it off whenever I wanted. The movie is godawful, and everything I've read about the franchise suggests that it is garbage young-adult shlock. I'd still happily sit through it if I had a significant other who really liked it though, and who knows, maybe I'd enjoy it in light of those circumstances.
