A Thread To Talk About Anything.

Are you using one of those accessibility functions that reads the text to you? Like for a blind person? How can you hear me?

Actually, not being able to hear you is one of God’s mercies.

No one ever expects me to sound like I do. I’m basically a white Barry White. I must smoke like 50 cigarettes a day, and I sound like a tuba when I talk. I can do, “swing low, dweet chariot” in perfect pitch.

Why are you body shaming small women?

more like…dweeb chariot…who smokes 50 cigs a day through a tuba once owned by Barry Mannilow. :laughing:

Your mom.

Because eventually you’ll start preferring certain tasks over the others (the easier and more pleasant ones) and eventually you’ll turn into an intellectual or academic (basically, out of touch with reality) who thinks he’s too good For manual labor. (This is why I brought up the Jew, although I also stereotyped).
Hiring a plumber to fix your plumbing is not the same as doing the plumbing yourself. Delegating is not doing it, only paying for it and then taking credit for the work done, and I’ve seen a lot of that in the workplace and elsewhere. Did Cheops build the pyramid? I doubt he even lifted a single rock in his lifetime. Was Obama so great because he could come up with persuasive eloquent speeches? No, somebody else wrote them for him. The Jews have said that any animal can do manual labor but not anyone can think and that why they favor segregation of manual labor and intellectual work (or delegating as you say). To that I will say that even those who believe they are great thinkers are not necessarily even barely good thinkers. Sick or incompetent kind of thinking/imagining, even if creative, is not good thinking in my opinion, and a lot of that thinking is out of touch with reality because of this segregation. Thinking on paper or idealistically is not he same as implementing it in the real world. And then people wonder why such and such system fails (I’m talking about economic and political systems here)

All so true, Fuse, and be sure to teach your little ones that ~~ when they come into being. Well, not right away of course. They need to learn to walk first. :evilfun:

How are your clouds treating you?

Working ten hour third shifts suck especially if they’re rotating.

But I certainly do hope that you will have yourself a couple more of really good meals.
Those ARE important. :mrgreen:

I’m also likely to always come up on more drugs.

Yeah like bath salts, meth and salvia.

Found a bottle of acetaminophen in a trash can the other day. Opened it up last night to take some for a headache and found that somebody had stashed a sack of dope between the lid and the seal and probably threw it away forgetting that it was there.

You sound like a real winner. Why are you going through trash cans?

I found a full bottle of acetaminophen with dope in it. Why the fuck do you think?

Because you’re a homeless drug addict with a mild headache?

Yup. I also pick food out of the trash cans, even when I’m not starving. I sit for hours staring off into space, sitting in alleys or bushes.

When you’re sitting in alleys and bushes what do you do to preoccupy your time with?

Have you ever experienced walking into a room and seeing all the roaches randomly scatter away into all the nooks and crannies they can find as you turn on the light? Well, I think it’s the same way with humans as they come face to face with bare reality and their own being. It’s amazing just how much of human creativity is about providing buffer between reality and the self.

I don’t like it!! So?! What is it with this modem prissy attitude? Someone’s got an idea that life’s like being at a restaurant and going down a fucking menu. I like this, I don’t like that. It doesn’t always work like that in life, in fact, that would be an exception rather than the rule. If an enemy comes to your house will you say I don’t like this particular enemy I want another one, or why don’t you come in the evenings instead of mornings, when I’m ready. I’m seeing a lot of those picky challenge-seekers. Seeking custom challenges and then proclaiming themselves heroes and masters. Give me a break. There is a crucial difference between overcoming something you CHOSE to overcome and something you HAD TO overcome, because for the former you were ready beforehand, and the latter, the one you did not pick, is the one that really tested your abilities.
