Then, when you're bandaged and resting from being full-body scalded by hot coffee, the cats can have you all to themselves with no pesky computers to compete with.

They're practicing.

If it were another cat I might almost believe that. Ollie, though, has shown many times that he has the intelligence of a boiled turnip. Good thing for him he's so adorable.

Ugh, cat problems. Did you spill your coffee everywhere? Was it hot? Did it have milk in it? Sugar? What color was the mug? I have questions.

I'm now locked in a room TRYING TO STUDY and one of the new cats in my house is clawing at the bottom of the door - it sticks out a little, just enough for him to grab it and pull - and he WILL NOT GIVE UP. He goes away for a few minutes and then comes back and starts trying to pry it open again. It's driving me insane.

I feel like I'm hiding from zombies clawing at my door O__O

I managed to only spill it on my chin, neck, and shirt. It wasn't that hot. I never pollute my coffee and I make it strong enough to wake the dead. The mug was white--easier for pouring coffee in by the dim light of the coffee machine itself.

I know the feeling. I've tried locking my cats out of my room before. They make sure I regret it worse than not letting them in. I've also tried removing Ollie from my desk so there's no chance of him spilling my coffee. He gets back up. I remove him again. He gets back up. Pretty sure he could keep that up for hours, since he's still getting attention.

As far as I know I don't smell :thinking:

...

Well, if you think about it, it's really your own fault for not being forever vigilant and ready. Your guard was down, that's when they get ya.

This is true. Maybe if I had a cup of coffee before my first cup of coffee I'd be awake enough for such vigilance. :thinking:

This is NOT the kind of thing I need to run across.

Don't know what to do...

Bukowski saw it for what it is! He cut through all the illusion and was able to describe the dry, dullness of modern life.

Simple. He gets paid for it.

what's up with you

 

[takeheart]

This is one messed up world..

ikr. Trust. True

There's a lot more time in a day than I give it credit for.

 

[S_Spartan]

Well, I sure ate great today! </sarcasm>

McDonald's for breakfast and Long John Silver's for dinner.

Now I'm sitting here feeling like shit.

Guess I should go watch a Louis CK video where he talks about eating terrible American food...

It's weird how some people are so casual about detailed rape scenes in Game of Thrones as just a way to establish who the bad guys are, and so confused about why some women find it unnerving. I'm pretty sure all the men who secretly look up to Tyrion a little bit would be unnerved if he was bent over twice a season and violently raped in order to establish who his enemies are and who sympathizes with him, especially if the topic was never touched between scenes.

 

[S_Spartan]

That moment when you have to make a decision about whether to continue with someone you have been friends with for 28 years because they simply aren't a good friend anymore...

 

[Psychedelicious]

ugh

I wish I knew how to properly reject people without feeling extremely awkward or rude. Of course you can't say yes to every advance, but I hate still hate rejecting people all the same. No matter how many times it happens, it's still awkward every single time.

 

[Opaline]

I don't like that American culture is everywhere. I don't want to go to the Amazon rainforest and see a McDonald's or hear Britney Spears being played by the local tamarins.

No need for travel anymore, because not only is our shit everywhere, but, well, Youtube.

And the Oculus Rift, soon.

 

[kihira]

tamarins.

Saw a menu typo where they had tamarin sauce instead of tamarind...BIG difference! there's no way a restaurant here could get a regular supply of tamarins

Are they endangered? I mean, I might try tamarin sauce....... maybe. Borderline cannabilistic though, no?

Generally throughout history, rape has been mainly used against women to assert power and dominance over them. Men raping men, not so much.

Don't forget most people find rape repulsive. I certainly do.
I love GOT and Tyrion Lanister! He's a gun.

I'd look up to him but I'm over 6 ft tall.. :bigsmile:

When I first read Argentum's post I thought, people actually argue that the enormous amount of sexual violence against women in Game of Thrones is simply to show who is villainous? Then I realized what you've said Pug, that it's somewhat historically accurate. But at the same time, GoT is fiction, and doesn't actually depict any sort of actual history - although it's supposed to parallel the Middle Ages... I guess.

And so saying, I think it's kind of bullshit. I think they do it because a lot of people do actually like rape scenes and they get off on it (figuratively, although I don't doubt some literally as well). Or just pure shock value, which always works. But there is a lot of torture of men too, which I noticed doesn't seem to happen as much to women. Women are raped or outright killed, men are systematically tortured or killed, both horrific and degrading, so... maybe it evens out in the end.

:thinking:

Thinking that letting it all go might be a step in the right direction for peace.

 

[anomicdeer]

It doesn't matter anymore these days.

Nothing goes right anymore. I will never get what I want. It may seem it will get that way. Maybe just at some point then it all ends. I'll always be a failure and dissappointed, sad, a loser, lonely, depressed, messed up... All there is in the negative world.

No matter how positive I am.
