The General Thread

You might want to go see if you have Tonsillitis, because that sounds like some of the symptoms of it.

Well just so you know, it has passed already. I barely had tonsillitis at all in my lifetime so thankfully that wasn't a concern.

Ironically it's been replaced by a bit of aural fullness in my left ear I hope will go away too.

my girlfriend's father announced today that today he is going to start doing more to help the people of Mexico out because they love The Dukes of Hazzard and they love their guns just as much as he loves his. He's discovered this information because he's found himself a sexy new girlfriend at the Target near where he works who checks off the boxes for Sexy Hispanic who loves him just as much as he loves her, which is a lot. Unfortunately this has upset the Wicked Witch of the West (my girlfriend's delightful mother) who does not approve of mixed race relationships and as such has announced that if they continue to see each other she's going to increase the alimony payment to teach him to find a proper (read white) girl. So this should be interesting.

I'm sure every little bit helps Mexico out a lot.

EDIT: Nice to also know Dukes of Hazzard still has a home there.

I'm pretty sure that "REEEE REEEEE he's dating a spic" is not a legal argument that works.

I have to eat at an authentic Japanese restaurant with some very important people in less than 24 hours, and I don't eat fish and I can't use chopsticks and I don't know the first thing about the etiquette and I can't even fucking handle it.

Went better than expected. I forgot that I was going to have to take my shoes off, so I didn't wear nice socks, and I was pretty sure that I was sitting wrong, but etiquette wise I think I did okay.

I finished off the pre-meal miso without a hitch. When the sushi came, everyone kind of made fun of me because I wouldn't try it, but I knew that if I did, I would have projectile vomited across the table. I ordered some sort of fried pork dish over rice which was actually pretty damn tasty. I was able to fumble my way to the bottom of the bowl using the chopsticks. I kept my head down most of the meal so people wouldn't see me failing, and I think I was at least moderately successful. I wanted to order dessert, but didn't because I assumed that it would require me to use another sort of alien utensil, so I was disappointed when the waitress brought traditional spoons with my fellow diner's orders.

Overall, I only made a slight ass of myself, so I consider that a win.

It's amazing that owning a drawer full of Fullmetal Alchemist shirts and meticulously curating a MyAnimeList page doesn't make you competent in something as simple as eating a meal, but I'm proof of it.

Who the fuck is that black guy in the video section on the front page?

I wonder if it's possible to gather 300$ by e-begging.

I fucking love water.

Weird question, but has anybody been having a lot of nightmares recently? I've had four people directly tell me that they've been having difficulty sleeping due to nightmares, and countless others saying even more of their own friends telling them the same. It's like an epidemic right now.

 

[Not an_ime g_irl]

Cool, i usually have short nightmares but i'm getting some nice dreams this month.

 

[A Hot Potato]

Sleeping is nice.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

Sleeping is nice.

Tell that to my sis, she's planning to stay up for 1.5 days (most of which already passed, and yes, she was mostly gaming) to farm cash in Transformice to buy herself some limited-time acessory.

Someone in IT went totally paranoid bugfuck this week and ratcheted up the company Firewall (WatchGuard T30) and removed admin privileges from everyone but himself on Windows Server SBS 2008(which, if you know anything about sysadmin is a totally fucking disasterous idea).

Does anyone know of a legal, subtle way of reverting this shit or a backdoor into a WatchGuard T30? I think if I try Hiren (which is all I can think of right now) that would require a reboot and I'm almost positive the dingleberry has email notifications sent out if anything "funny" happens.

I spent the day transplanting basil plants into organic soil, and I can't get the smell of the composted chicken shit they use as fertilizer off of my fingers.

As my girlfriend's nephew is spending his week with the Wicked Witch of the West, my girlfriend's brother invited my girlfriend and I over for a Star Wars Marathon Showing the Original trilogy, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi (Which my girlfriend's brother and sister in law consider right below empire). We're right now watching the first one and as we are watching it I'm reminded as to why I hate Star Wars with a passion of a thousand suns. Also the idiots who complained about Anakin's whining in 2 are fucking hypocrites because Luke's whining is leagues worse than Anakins.

If I ever wanted to con people into giving me money blindly, I would target the middle aged animal lovers. If this weekend is anything to go by, you're going to get at least 30 individuals willing to give you money without any one of them stopping to think something fishy is going on. If anyone questions this, just shout and scream that they're not true animal lovers. Sorted.

I just don't get it. How can anyone donate to a cause without seeing proof that a veterinary clinic has even been contacted? Do you just trust blindly that no one would ever try to spam middle aged-elderly, often single, women with 10 cats who spend all day on a Facebook group? Really?

I give up.
