making hard boiled eggs at midnight

If you have a rice cooker you should try making soft boiled eggs in it. they are super delicious same goes for the hard boiled eggs it can make without over cooking them.

I'm wondering if I should stop, when letting people know they are going against my advice, saying 'Well,enjoy your aids'. On the one hard I've always found it to be morbidly funny, on the other I may offend someone. Third option is to ride the offence out as the offended will die in a couple of years anyway.

So this thing facebook added to its block system that lets you block certain websites from your timeline is a god send. I would make a thank you andy thread, but it doesn't work all the time. Once in awhile buzzfeed or huffpost sneaks back in and I block it again, but overall it's made my Facebook far, far more tolerable.

The funny thing is that it's nearly killed my FB activity. It's amazing how many FB friends posted clickbait spam.

Some googling of her introduced me to a Dems Against Obamacare Facebook page that includes her comments. It hasn't been updated since February.

I really can't think of a thing that makes a woman more attractive than class consciousness.

The Trot affiliation thing is a bit of a blemish however.

But unlike a Trot she actually got something done.

Like I said, it's a little wonky. Try blocking it, closing out the tabs and popping facebook again. There was some blog website that I couldn't get it to work on. However, after reopening FB, I've found my timeline clear of the stuff I blocked.

For those that don't know where the option is: Just click on the down arrow above the offending post and there should be "Block all from insertwebsitehere" option.

I also think I let an EA talk me into getting my EA instead of changing careers yesterday.

They asked me what my long-term professional goals were and instead of being honest and saying, "Getting the FUCK out of this soul sucking industry before it helps me lose anything else I care about, not that there is anything left to care about in it atm," I said, "You know I was thinking about getting my EA, actually."

They were quite excited by this revelation even though it means that one day they can't dump shit work on me anymore and started giving me my path to success in the OC EA game (which they had navigated), where I should study, who I should talk to, etc. When they told me how much utter fucking noobs without a day of experience but an EA make around here... well sometimes you need to be an international banker instead of a dreamer. I'll have over 5 years of experience by the time I get mine (if I get it).

The hardest part of the EA exam is my area of specialization (corporate tax) too.

At least I'll be first against the wall.

Brocialist: "Will the secretary please make a note that Karakand shall receive a first honer's medal for his bravery and commitment to the cause when the Party takes power. "

Karakand takes the note down then the two walk out of the phone booth while both simultaneously put up the collars on their trench coats.

TBH, though with the caveat I'm not an expert, I don't think Brecht is that big with the brocialist crowd. (Sorry to ruin the fanfics with reality.)

You'd think he would be since he stole from / conveniently forgot to give credit to the women he co-authored much of "his" famous work with, but given that authorship dynamic a lot of "his" famous work tends to be about women's issues (Mother Courage and Her Children, The Good Person of Szechwan, The Caucasian Chalk Circle) so it probably turns them off. Hell, even Life of Galileo (partly) deals with Galileo fucking over his daughter FOR SCIENCE.

There's the stuff he wrote on his own, I guess, but I doubt Brocialists Anonymous is reading Baal for their book club anytime soon since that shit is legit bad.

you're SO jewish

Why do you think I live crypto.

I even still feel guilty about that game today.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I didn't have an Elo when I showed up at that tournament so I had to play in the unranked field, which was predominantly fucking noobs because it was a youth tournament.

To be brief with my chess origin story since The Biz is going to dismiss this entire post with a "Neat," I was taught the game when I was very young by one of my (SURPRISE MOTHAFUCKAS) not-Jewish grandparents and they were a merciless teacher. I never amounted to much in the long run because I didn't care about being good at chess (An encapsulation of your life. -Ed.), but I was much, much better than the field I was in at this particular tournament because of my draconian tutelage. The only person who challenged me was the person I beat to win the tournament.

When I first started though, I was unsure about the quality of my opponents and played "NFL head coach stereotype" conservative. After smoking a couple of them I realized that virtually everyone was a fucking noob and started to play like a cocky asshole, which is how I reached the personal nadir of thinking it would be funny to try and win a game with the Scholar's mate because countering it is Chess 101-y, which as mentioned I did.

But I was a chickenshit and didn't try to win with it in the first game, I saved it for the deciding one. My opponent was crushed to lose in that manner, they hadn't even seen it coming. I feel guilty because I wonder if they gave up on the game after that, I know my sibling did when I did something similar at an age where inappropriate behavior like that isn't handwaved away as just youthful indiscretion.

There's also the fact that this was not a gender segregated event and my opponent was a girl. In case you don't know much about chess, girls and women are not treated particularly well by it. (I have an English translation of Alexander Kotov's The Soviet School of Chess and like half of its introduction consists of its sneering author mocking this "great" book's inclusion of inferior women players purely for ideological reasons.) So without deliberately doing so, I contributed to that dynamic with my play.

If you're wondering why I smile, it's because it reminds me of a time when everything seemed effortless.
