There’s two fish in a tank. One turns to the other and says
‘You man the guns, I’ll drive’
This tickled my funny bone.
“In case you’ve never worked at a call center: hundreds of people rotated daily through fabric cubiclettes belonging to no one, smoke-beige phone handles connected to dead boxes connected to semi-legal dialer servers, miniature crystal-ball screens burned with green text, half-gallon containers of coffee from 7-Eleven, oily headsets shared between strangers, smell of hand sanitizer and Lean Cuisine, part-time employees either years in the same position or about to walk out the door.” —
I have never read a better description of a call center. I have worked both in a call center and supporting a call center as a desktop technician. It is soul crushing. I was squarely in the second camp. One foot at work (job hunting), one out the door.

“People tell me “Ooh, you’d have fun if you stuck with it” but I’ve never accepted the “it gets better later” excuse. I’ve never been bumming around the house and thought to myself “Hm, I don’t really feel like playing a game now, but I might a few hours from now, so I’d better start playing a game that gets better later.” —

Kitten/Adult?
This is just making the choice between whether the cat already hates you now or will hate you later. Also, not all cat hatred is the same. It can range from passive aggressive hatred to spastic surly hatred. There’s no way to know how a kitten will develop, so if you’re set on one kind of personality, like you really want a passive aggressive cat, the only guarantee is to get an adult.

So, to summarise, this is why I’m not a Multiplayer gamer:
I’m not competitive I’m intolerant to other’s immature conduct I don’t like testicles Single player has no distractions I like stories more so than aimless killing
” —Great article on the woes of Xbox Live multiplayer gaming. It’s gotten to the point I don’t venture online unless I’m with friends and can chat in a private party.

New York State Senate Votes Down Gay Marriage Bill - NYTimes.com -
“While the Catholic Church rejects unjust discrimination against homosexual men and women, there is no question that marriage by its nature is the union of one man and one woman,” Richard E. Barnes, the executive director of the New York State Catholic Conference, said in a statement. “Advocates for same-sex marriage have attempted to portray their cause as inevitable. However, it has become clear that Americans continue to understand marriage the way it has always been understood, and New York is not different in that regard. This is a victory for the basic building block of our society.”
In other words: “We’re against unjust discrimination, except of course when it comes to an institution that we categorize bizarrely enough as between one man and one woman when not even the religious text we profess to believe in seems to advocate this arrangement. We don’t want you to experience discrimination, gays, but we sure as hell don’t want you to be a ‘building block of our society.’ Stay out of mainstream America and remain on the fringes where you belong.”
“Not only the evangelicals, not only the Jews, not only the Muslims, not only the Catholics, but also the people oppose it.” - Sen. Ruben Diaz
I am one of the people, and I think that gay marriage absolutely 100% should be legal. Anything less is an affront to America’s Constitution and every pretense of equality that we have the gall to argue we believe in even as we deny people equal rights and privileges under the law based on nothing but personal prejudice.
I am livid. I am so tired of these weak ass defenses from leaders who continue to do and say bigoted things, but who keep trying to go, “But I’m not a bigot!” Saying you don’t advocate discrimination even as you advocate legislating discrimination is dumb. Saying you don’t advocate discrimination, but since everyone else is doing it, you’re going to go along with it is dumb.
I do not understand how anyone can say these things and not realize how stupid they sound when they say them.
The sanctity is important. Gotta “protect” it. *sigh* DC is looking good for not being ginormous idiots. One can only hope…
Screw the hokey pokey! This is what it’s all about!
