The Stranger

Okay, so I tried the link in Tor and it works. No idea why it's not working in Firefox.

@samkfj - If I were one of the cashiers, I'd attempt to flirt at her.

@The Stranger that's very strange--all I normally use is FF. Hmm

@Marsigne careful, bro--she'll get ya haha.

ROFL omg. I remember this... though I would prefer thug ducks to gangster roaches any day.

@samkfj Are you sure you aren't mistaking ducks with geese? Geese are assholes, but I've never had any problems with ducks. Agree with you on the sheep though, if you want a real barnyard pal get a goat, and if you want wool get a Llama (I really want a goat).

To be honest--it could have been near mating season, seems a lot of animals are mean during those times--but oh yeah--it was ducks for sure, though it's been a while--not sure I'd be able to pick 'em from a line up anymore.

Goats are nice, this is true. Growing up in South Texas, most of my friend's grandparents had them in their back yards rofl.

I fully agree. It's more about keeping your promises than anything else. I love reading about new tech, especially in areas such as robotics, prosthetics, etc. To be honest, I think I'm a bit of a transhumanist. lol. If I could, I'd gladly replace my body parts with mechanical ones. Have you seen some of the prosthetics available these days? It's amazing how far we've come.

We even have tech that allows a person to operate a computer with just their thoughts. Well, I'm sure it's a lot more complex and sciencey than that. lol.

How funny, I would also replace some parts of my body with high tech prosthetic parts lol

@The Stranger Hang in there. It'll pass.. meanwhile though : *big hug*

Venlafaxine is also an antidepressant. It can be difficult to stop using it because of the brain shocks that it can cause. Didn't know antidepressants were also used for anxiety.

Yeah they are the main medicine commonly used to battle anxiety, though the best is a succes rate of 69% so if it's worth the side-effects depends on a lot of other factors

I know that feeling of having to do farm work like that.

Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet.

Sad... Saw on tv that a guy killed his parents with an Ethernet cord. Police asked why he did it. He said they just didn't connect anymore.

Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? Great food, no atmosphere.

That sounds like one fancy Burger King. xD Haven't eaten fast food in ages.

wow - we tried sourdough for the first time last year. It was the best bread I'd ever tasted! Didn't notice any weird smell.

Sourdough bread is best buttered and toasted, imo.

Gotta be careful here, we're skirting close to the no politics rule.

Understood, it can get out of hand quickly.

I'm all for government stepping in to protect people from shady, and even harmful, practices.

Quacks

Thats stupid, they should have set you up with someone else, thats a long time with no PT.

Irritating.

Gordon Freeman doesn't really talk though.

@OmnislashXX That's why I think Morgan Freeman would make a better protagonist. I wonder how Gordon got his job? I mean, he doesn't speak at all. Did he just stare his way through the interview?

It feels late for this and off topic, but Happy New Year!
(I try to get my whole list done here)

I've never been one for mini-games and side activities in games. I know I'm in the minority on this. lol. The only side activities I actually enjoy in games, are more passive or immersive ones. I enjoyed being able to watch tele, catch a movie, play fetch with the dog, and other similar things in GTA V, but I couldn't stand the taxi missions.

I mostly enjoy PvP side activities. Love to rage the nubs.

I'm a huge fan of mini games (planning to have a few myself lol) however I hate it when it is mandatory or when it is something just added on as a 'filler' and has nothing to do with the game.

Green Monkeys! I always wanted to try Double Dare, myself. Hidden Temple was neat but the guards always freaked me out.

@BadLittleSeed I used to think when the caught you, they really took you away! The prizes weren't worth the risk

Omg I dreamt of being on Guts. I wanted to so badly. I'da moped the floor with them. I woulda planted the Texas flag on top of the aggrocrag and been like yeah--s'my house. America fudge yeah!

Video not available

@Poryg that's weird... and to bad. but it's : The Prescription Drug Song by Arrogant Worms. Maybe you can find it someplace else

Oh dear at least some folks notice. Only truth I heard by those is "we never know how a drug works" but promising results without being a depressant type of drug and the pharmacist warnings just said effect multiplied with alcohol (depressant) and two side effects that made the psi pass for lies of a dentist. "no danger to stop!" MY EYE! Also if someone have the runs easily they gets more.

I understand with all of my life now. BTW HAppy New Year.

There was an anime one that didn't make me sleep. They tend to last a day at most, though.

@Poryg - Crazy idea: Makes guard in high-risk positions have to watch the worst horror movies.

Not sure if it's law or generally accepted SOP to be honest. We get a lot of that around here to, like stores not selling rifles to anyone under 24 even though legally they can purchase them at 19...kinda ironic a 19 year old can buy a rifle but not a lighter, then again, like I said, I can't say for sure which parts are actually law and which are just SOP at this point.

@The Stranger Hey, I'm not denying that they could be used in a crime, I mean I saw someone try to hold up a bank with a sharpened butter knife once so I guess it must happen elsewhere. Spoiler Alert: it didn't exactly end well for the would-be thief though. Wonder what your country will get around to banning next if banning knives doesn't curtail the violence either.

Voting, apparently. The government is, for some reason, deciding to randomly implement voter IDs. The trial runs didn't seem to go according to plan, since a lot of people here don't have IDs at all. It's not as if voting fraud is rampant enough to require such measures, either. Well, I guess our benevolent masters only want the right sort of people having a vote.

I think I may have caught this from my support worker. lol. He was all sniffly last time I saw him (Wednesday), and we couldn't meet on Friday because he was feeling so crappy. I think the main reason I don't get ill much is because I barely have any physical interaction with other people. lol. I think my immune system is strong, but I'm probably as weak as a kitten due to my lack of exposure. xD

Generally--I wake up with one stuffed nostril, eventually it goes away... however this afternoon, I awoke to a huge black cat sitting on my chest and putting all her pressure on my rib cage.

BTW--I think that person's status we hijacked the other day--may have been a bot. I could be wrong!--but maybe.

Oh, but the Pigeons down in the city. Now, they are tame. I used to take my lunch outside and they would come walking right below my feet. I would put a random fry or tear a little bread from my bun to see how close they would come. They came pretty dam close.

Yeah, pigeons are just so comfortable with people. I used to feed them everyday during my short time in California. They would just come and sit on the tables with me.

Yeah, pigeons are chill. They'll gather near you if you have food, but they wont mug you for it. xD

Okay, so she wasn't magical, or some sort of half-bee\human hybrid. Bee petting seems to be a thing:

They seem pretty relaxed when feeding.

I wanna go pet a bee now! That's awesome. I really do like bees a lot. Without them we'd have no pollination. I heard they're also coming back.

And that's a chubby little bee.

I think I had meant to write more earlier, but I started to fall back asleep. Am still very tired but it's Sunday.

haha and every time I think of this song--I think of the Tourettes guy. hahaha
