Don't fuck up my self-deprecation with your snide interjections, Arvid.

Actually I was hoping you would post some unrestrained comeback so that I could post

"shouldn't you be doing something constructive right now?

"

I apologize.

I'm unplugging my modem again until I fully catch up on all my classes (it's currently Spring break at school). If I'm fully caught up, maybe I'll be more willing to attend class (probably not).

I was just thinking: what if we gave all junkies cash incentives to be sterilized? Benefits the junkies as they'd be able to supply their addiction for awhile, and it would benefit society, as there would be no more crack babies. Thoughts?

It's slightly better than forced sterilization. Forced sterilization may seem much worse because those who are sterilized don't consent. But to what extent can those with strong addictions refuse? They're addicted, desperate for money, and under the influence of strong drugs--not in the best position to make important, potentially permanent, decisions about their reproductive rights. Many would sell their own organs if they could.

And such a program would, invariably, disproportionately affect the poor. Addicts with means, for the most part, would not even consider such a program.

As the guy that wrote the Official Eugenics Thread, I'm in favor of any way to cut the birth rate.

Some people whine that population growth is unsustainable at the birth rates that are being experienced in most first world nations but that is a good thing. Overflowing the planet with more people so we use up natural resources at a faster clip is not sustainable by any means. Better to have a smaller population.

I just woke up from a dream in which Vic Mackey convinced me to sell my 360 and games to Gilroy (who was the owner of a local restaurant) at higher-than-retail prices to fund one of his nefarious schemes. I remember feeling like shit as I was walking out of the restaurant cuz I sold The Last Remnant without beating it, so when this stupid little kid started following me back to the car I threw him into the bushes like a boss. Turned out the kid was the son of a churro vendor that had set up shop in the parking lot, so the churro guy came after me with a bat. I woke up before he could beat the shit out of me.

All this because the other day I introduced my friend to The Shield

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #3730 on:** February 18, 2010, 06:00:02 PM »

I miss that show. I followed it since the beginning and every episode was an event pretty much. The morning talk radio show would talk about it quite a bit and often interviewed the actors and actresses of the show. In fact....

I watched from the beginning, but then got off the train for whatever reason (mostly because I missed a few episodes). I'm so glad I got caught up before the final season, though. Not many shows --if any -- have ended so perfectly.

Yep.

The only weak season I'm able to think of is the third one and not surprisingly, it is two episodes longer than the typical season.

The best thing about vodka is that it really doesn't give you the kind of hangover that some other liquors do. At least it doesn't give me one.

Darker alcohol = heavier hangover

In Vancouver. After an 8 hour flight. Have a 7 hour layover. Not happy about it. And I'm officially in U.S. territory so I can't legally drink. I should just go back to Tokyo.

PS Sometimes people need to fucking keep their children under control at the airport.

I haven't been in a worse mood in ages, I could literally drive all the way home from Vancouver before my flight. Time to try to get on standby.

That will take you all of 5 minutes as soon as you find the spool. Quit crying.

yeah I know I know, like I said Ive been thinking about for half a year, and I think Ive made up my mind and really want a relationship with her. Our jobs dont overlap at all so I never deal with her for anything work related, and I might bump into her once every few days so yeah. I think were both straight up sensible adults so I cant see anything really bad happening. She may just say no, no biggie

I've always been told that its usually a really bad idea to date a co-worker because if things go south it messes up the workplace too.

I know my company has a strict (and is enforced actually) no office-romance policy.

Women can turn straight up nuts due to a relationship though. And you may not see her often, but i'm sure you two interact with a lot of the same people or people you interact with interact with people she interacts with. And women love to talk. But as long as you know the risks.

I took the risks a couple of years ago and nearly lost my job. i made a thread about it on here. People in the other side of the building on the top floor (I was in the basement!) knew about us because she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

I was just told to let HR know, but that if it ever came down to a decision to get rid of me or not, being in an office relationship would only hurt me there. They said it's always a negative when a company sees it and needs to make a decision based off of it.

After my experience, my advice to anyone is avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid.

People will find out someway and people will talk because that's what people do in an office and it most likely will not be the truth. It can get ugly really fucking fast.

But as with any relationship advice, you know her better than I do. So go with your gut, just think about what I said in context to her and your workplace. Every situation is different.

I was surfing Gordon Ramsay's website (don't ask), and saw that he has a trillion restaurants. The dude is richer than I imagined.

Anyway, under 'Europe' it said he had a restaurant 'au Trianon.' I almost flipped out and thought it was actually at the Trianon, but happily it's just at some hotel just off the grounds.
