I got my immunization shot for my overseas trip! Oh boy!

My copy of Zootopia also came in the mail, along with a bunch of other goodies! OH BOY!

I left my bedspread in the wash for several hours! OH... er crap.

What? Why?

Just rather uninteresting and bland, compared to the stories other people I know came away with. 

I think about odd things sometimes, don't mind me.

I'll take a boring childhood over a traumatic therapy inducing childhood any day.  Mine wasn't terribly exciting either, but I turned out ok, other than the whole furry thing.

I would too, but I figure someone had a normal childhood instead of me, so I take happiness in believing that while I'm okay now, my shitty childhood meant someone else had a good one, maybe.

As a parent I can confirm that raising kids is hard, so it's not surprising that so many people are bad at it.  Even people who try hard to be good parents often fail.  This is no excuse for being a bad parent, but speaks to the fact that a portion of all kids will have a bad childhood, and I'm not sure what to do about that.

Man am I stuck on two possibly good cars. One's an 02 focus with about 80k, other's an 05 focus with 100k. The 05 is actually cheaper by $500. I'm worried about the 02 having hidden rust, focuses are well known for having rocker panels rot from the inside... it happens eventually.

They are also well known for being tiny, lightweight pieces of shit :V

Seriously, why a Focus? You could get something much better I'd assume for roughly the same price.

I feel like I'm becoming a better person day by day. If I think back on who I was even 4 years ago - and I thought I'd improved even then, I'm so much better.

I have terrible, terrible habits, and I do/say super annoying things that make me think "dude, you're turning into your dad", but at least now I'm AWARE I'm doing these things, and it helps me to stop if I know it's something I should avoid. Often now when I'm talking to someone, I know that I would do something annoying when responding to them, but now I just keep my mouth shut and I think "you did good, dude".

This other team that commits code. Urgh, why. They're bringing the project into alignment with a multi-client consortium and I swear they are SO inept! They introduced a new batch job that's duplicating records designating payments - causing problems in one of MY domains. I look into their code and its filled with all the awful conventions and sub-standard programming I work to clean up, remove, or am forced to work around.

Thinking I need to find an artist to draw me a Fossa avi. It's hard to just take images, and crop them. There's not all that many images out there. This one makes me look like I'm gonna sneeze.

Time to start seeing who might be able to do something decent!

My tiny lightweight piece of shit went 300k miles. Try again. The newer ones are actually pretty good.

Oh, and guess what I found when I looked at one car today. I noticed it had a new grill (no logo) and the hood settled down below the fenders, so accident damage. Turns out that it had hit a deer and been declared a total loss, so salvage title. Eh.

Not only that, but carfax said something else about it.

Look at mileage between owner three and owner four. Fucking ass, you little scam artist. You thought you could get away with it you whore.

I'm sorry to say this, but... you're a furry.

 

Maybe this has more to do with the fact that it's Friday night (okay... early Saturday morning) and I'm tired, but this exchange is cracking me up.

I didn't mean they break by themselves, admittedly there isn't much wear and tear on a car that goes 0-60 in .6 minutes :V

Just don't get it in an accident, and God forbid you ever try and AVOID one, cause the thing won't go anywhere. I speak from experience having crushed one like a tin can on all but the driver's side and to this very day I still don't understand how I made it with only a broken neck, collarbone and ribs.

I feel weird. For some reason I feel guilty if I listen to one type of music more than another for a few hours a day. Like, it's dumb, it's not like that genre of music is gonna be offended or anything.

Aww, that poor genera!

It's such a cyoot widdle genera, how could you be so insensitive D:<

I found a bag of weed up at Tent City when I woke up today.

I guess the only correct choice is to go outside and smoke it *nods*

I never said it was a bad thing. I occasionally visit Reddit and after browsing the front page I realized how much worse censorship has gotten there. Like, holy shit!  Have their mods and admins lost their fucking minds? I'm hoping their users jump ship and never return.

You do know over half the reddits there (probably most of them) are user created so don't have mods that actually work for reddit. They're self-moderated.

And yes, I hear that most of the mods are censorship dicks...

Yeah, but most major (ie populated) subreddits are heavily moderated and all subreddits are subject to admin decisions. Hell, they even changed the algorithm on /r/all to censor a large pro-Trump reddit. I hope all this censorship bites them in the ass eventually.

Let's not forget how /r/news deleted dozens of threads and tens of thousands of comments pertaining to the Orlando shooting during the immediate aftermath, because Muslims -- including posts about contacting authorities for donations, blood drives, or information on loved ones.

People had to go to fucking /r/adviceanimals and /r/the_donald to get any news or updates.

At one point you could refresh the page every few seconds and see the subscriber count drop by several thousand each time.

My favorite part was when the mods doubled down and told everyone that they did nothing wrong and to stop crying.

And you can definitely see the ramifications now that the dust has settled.
