I was at work and a customer walked up. I couldn't exactly set it down  :P

Never chew on candy canes.  That way you can turn them into a shiv!

Every time I turn my candy cane into a shiv I stab myself inside of my mouth...

That's why they must be chewed before they get too sharp!

Blood's boiling, my kid's mother drives me crazy, it's uncanny just how much she gets under my skin. Thank god for vasectomies. I'll have mine begginning of january. No amount of cuteness is worth this much trouble. Holy shit, this is why the world is fucked.

And the difference between 'good idea in theory' and 'good idea to say'?

None at all, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, this conversation kinda points to the opposite.

Really not sure where you're going with this. And, to be frank, I don't really care.

Fine. My point is that the differences between "it's a further reason" and "let's geld people" doesn't in any way change the endorsement of the idea that only a certain subset of the population should have children because of a superior upbringing or genetics. And that by not thinking anything of mentioning it, you're liable to insult people at random. Scientific validity doesn't make it appropriate.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. People tell me I'm overly blunt, so I guess that's where the issue pops up.

... "let's GELD people" ...

So the final for my Real Analysis course was essentially set up so that you'd have a little time to spare if you didn't go back and fix mistakes.

Guess who made a couple of mistakes near the beginning, and so didn't have time to finish the whole thing?

I know the exam was fair because ~85% of the room finished the thing. I'm just kicking myself since failing this course means that I'll have to take at least one more semester that won't be covered by my scholarships.

So my mother (who I don't talk to) decided to drop by unannounced yesterday to inform me that my grandmother (who I haven't talked to since my junkie aunt basically kidnapped her a couple years ago in order to monopolize what what left of her savings) is now officially dead--instead of just "for all intents and purposes dead because she's in fricking Colorado and my aunt won't let anyone talk to her."

So there's that. I'm sure there was more, but that one kinda' stands out at the moment.

I got news that a good friend passed away yesterday.  I don't know what got her, but she was in the hospital for a couple months prior.  I suppose the good news is she lived to see her 32nd birthday, then died the day after.

Mom needs pills so i drive to the local pharmacy at Krogers, which has stop signs sunken into concrete on either side of it's entrance.  Whacko bird in a pickup misses the one, plowing into the second, at maybe 15 mph.  Knocks it over, and keeps driving for about 20 plus feet before realizing "hey whats that horrible noise and why are there sparks everywhere?"  Stops and reverses, breaking the sign free of his truck, and then gets out cussing at the sign while everyone else stares at him like "wtf man?"

Am I the only one that fucking hates the manufactured emotions of the holidays?  Like, Labor Day and President's Day are cool.  Any excuse for a 3-day weekend is fine by me.  But Christmas and Valentine's Day really piss me off.  Maybe it's just because I hate pretending to be part of a family with the assholes I'm related to.  Also, Christmas movies are fucking terrible and Christmas music is worse.  Ritual gift exchanges between adults are stupid and unnecessary.

I only watch the Christmas movies I like. :T

I also like the Christmas music I actually hear, but that's somewhat different in the UK and US from what I know. :lmao

As for the original question... probably not? But it's not like all the emotions are manufactured.

If anyone's looking for a christmas movie that's actually really good, i can't recommend Hogfather enough. Terry Pratchett is amazing, and they did a really good job adapting the book for the movie. 3 hours of pure fun. Very little wasn't adapted, and most of the dialogue is straight from the book to the movie.
