Jones is pretty good.

They do have some good flavors. Soda is a weakness of mine. In general, I don't like sweet things: candy, cake, cookies, chocolate, donuts...none of them appeal to me much, but things like soda, fruit juice, frozen drinks, I crave.

Woke up in the middle of night to low blood sugars levels again. This is fourth time in a row.  Having your sleep session fragmented because you have to sneak into kitchen to get something to eat to raise blood sugar levels sucks. 

(For reference, I am Diabetic) 

 

Gosh that sounds rough.. I think the best way to deal with this without disrupting others in your home is to leave an applesauce/orange juice container in your room for emergencies like this. They last awhile without having to be refrigerated and are small enough to just hide away in a desk.

I'd just drink it away in a single day lol. Too much of a temptation

On other topic, I went ice fishing today with my family. You can't get fresher fish than this because we stored them in snow and put them in a cool container (like a big thermos bottle but for keeping things cool). They were still wiggling in the kitchen sink when the shot was taken. Today, there will be creamy fish soup for dinner.

I find it funny that the internet at my work blocks me from going to Imgur but I can browse FA just fine.

Better report that :V

I once found that the office blocked the Wikipedia article on Mounds. Like, the pile of dirt kind of mounds.

Heh, maybe it was being filtered based on the slang use of mound? It reminds me of how the game Façade treats the word "melon" like a swear.

The thing is: it was blocked under the Religious category

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also the non-slang terms for those things weren't blocked. Yay automated filtering software!

Actually mound typically refers to:
1. The fleshy part of a woman's torso between the navel and the pudenda, over the pubic bone; the mons veneris.
2. Female genitalia generally.

That is what I want my religion to be. Praise be unto Mound, who elevates our lives.

My schoolboard almost caused a kid to fail his project because he was supposed to do a presentation on breast cancer, but anything with the word breast in it was blocked at that school. Anything. Any site or context. 

I imagine he had a hell of a time finding material on breast cancer that never explicitly mentions breast cancer.

Do you actually think that Christianity today is in any way comparable to Islam? It's been a very long time since any organized group of Christians threw gay men off buildings or shot up a theatre full of people.

And how exactly are Christians causing trouble in the middle East? The last time I checked Christians are a persecuted minority facing genocide over there. 

Btw, I don't believe in god, but I do believe that false equivalencies are a very real thing.

What kind of false equivalency are you talking about, Mr Billy Mays? Radical Islam, especially Wahabbism, is trying to spread around the world much in the same way that Christianity spread through the world during the colonial times of the 1400s-1800s. And yes, I do believe that people were killed for being gay or not worshiping the right god back then.

Yeah, and I specifically said Christianity today is not comparable to Islam. I leterally said that in the first sentence. That first paragraph you wrote was pointless. I never implied that Christians weren't barbaric at one point.

The Aurora Shooting? I can't find anything referring to his motives. Are you assuming he's a Christian because he's a white American or something? I'd genuinely be interested to see anything describing his motives for the attack. Maybe it was religiously motivated, but I haven't seen any articles describing his motives.

This an argument that's been had a dozen times by different people. From here on out I suggest we continue this argument in another thread if you're interested.

I hate when factories try to goad different shifts against one another to increase production.

All it usually does is make people more tense.

It's weird that at every factory I've worked the separate shifts have always been rivals who hate each other.

But those first shift guys really are a bunch of dicks. I swear they're fucking with our PPE to make us look stupid. Fuck first shift! Oh, and my razor knife is missing. Third shift must be trying to sabotage us... Maybe they're colluding with first shift to bring us down. How do we retaliate?  I heard that third shift said our work is sloppy, those sneaky bastards. Maybe we could work more efficiently if those first shift douches didn't always leave a mess at out work stations. Fourth shift? Oh, they're alright I guess.

I'm here to represent my tribe... Second shift. We are a proud and underappreciated people. We have long been oppressed by first shift who often leave messes and say mean things about us when we aren't around. Ignore them. They're a bunch of whiny sissies who need to stop sucking the supervisor's greasy cock.

The shift rivalry where I'm at is nothing compared to the pranks and shenanigans that my fellow shiftmates do to each other. Stealing and hiding PPE and equipment during break, throwing screws and shooting rivets at each other, intentionally putting parts in the wrong places so the next guy can't do his job until he fixes it. It's amazing we get anything done tbh.

Man, that stuff would never fly where I used to work. We made helmets for the military and had operate two ton hot presses. Goofing around there might get somebody's head or arms crushed. It's actually kind of horrifying having to tighten the bolts on the presses because you could never really quite tell if they were tight enough. They didn't give torque wrenches or anything. I was constantly afraid something going wrong and dying a gruesome death.

We didn't really prank each other at all. 

We always checked out other workers though. Talking about phat asses was a great way to pass the time. It's also a great way to bond with your co-workers. You never really know a guy until you know if he also thinks the girl who drives the forklift has nice legs.

What exactly do you guys make if you're running around shooting rivets at each other?

We just build refrigerators. It's comparatively very chill, at least on the line itself. There's the more dangerous areas like the cabinet press, insulation foam injection, plastic liner moulding and such, but fuck that shit.

High schoolers just want to pretend to do presentations on breast cancer just to see artistic renderings of boob and boob fat

Nice try, highschoolers. We know what youre up to!

Half the team is coughing and sneezing today and patient zero is in again today, still sounding terrible. >B|

People may have thought I was dying on the bus because I was curled into a ball and coughed from time to time.

I was just cold though.

Eurg... My face is all warm, my throat is a bit scratchy, and there's this mild but persistent pressure in my head. Please let this pass quickly.

Feel better soon!

So, they detained twelve, then?

One of my coworkers came to work sick has been steadily getting worse with more coughing and sneezing. Assuming about a day incubation time I should start getting sick just in time for the weekend :U

Why.

People that do that really annoy me. I spend a very good portion of my time trying to prevent that, and you bring it straight to my face?! Fucka-you!

This is also why I hate the idea of strict attendance rules.
