Depends what you mean by "BJ BJ".

One thing I never quite get in the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument: If availability/efficiency of the tool isn't the problem, aren't you just arguing that Americans are much more terrible people than citizens of other first world countries?

[CatsCatsCats]

I'll kill you for that

Well considering that black churches usually get burnt down or blown up, yes.

[Mupepe]

I think it's arguing that so many other things are at play and wrong with society like mental health care in general. So to answer your question, yes.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I'd say anyone who says "guns don't kill people" should try to kill 9 people in a church by pointing a finger and shouting "Bang!" loudly.

Is there a better public speaker than Obama in recent history? Cause I can't think of one.

No, not Steve Jobs.

Really I'm convinced that if anyone is going to be a VP or Executive of any sort they need to work a few M&A projects first.
Those projects really have a way of pointing out what the business thinks it needs to function and how little you actually need when push comes to shove. Self justification really has no place to hide there. Issue is most M&A projects have such a furious pace that it's hard to learn the lessons unless you're quick.

My ex's Skype got hacked. Don't really want to initiate contact about that... also I sure hope logging was turned off on her account. While I love Mother Russia's rich cultural heritage, I'd rather my private conversations not be in the hands of hackers from there.

Cheese is not commonly enjoyed outside of cities in Japan; there are usually two kinds available in the boondocks where I live: a "process cheese" which I assume is oil-based, and a quasi-Camembert which my UK friends tell me is nothing like actual Camembert. 20 years ago I had to visit an import grocers to get anything other than those two cheeses.

Presently, with slightly more readily available cheese, those are still the two most common, but I can find tiny 75g bricks of mild cheddar for Ą300, and quasi-mozzarella at a local supermarket. String cheese is becoming more popular. Gouda is occasionally available.

If I visit downtown Osaka and go to an expensive department store, I can find cheese at 2 to 3 times the cost of it in the USA.

By and large, when I visit the USA and see an actual cheese selection, I feel compelled to buy several types, just because I can.

I life without cheese is no life at all.

So that's why Ebichu loved Camembert.

I went out to a business lunch once and ordered some pasta while someone healthnut order the salad.
When our food came she looked at the pasta and told me, "You know, studies show that eating a lot of carbs will cut 5 years off your life."
I said, "Then it looks like I'll die happy five years earlier. Enjoy your five years of salad."

Well at the business dinner *I* went to, people started sincerely discussing the Book of Revelation from a literalist interpretation of the text and I just pretended to not be listening while watching baseball.

Who needs to worry about hell when this is already it?

[CatsCatsCats]

Fad dieting is pretty stupid. Mainstream American culture is pretty stupid. The value placed on things like living in a cool part of town or eating quinoa and sweet potatoes. I'm so glad I married a weirdo like me who wants no part in it and am so excited to move up on the mountain into a smaller sustainable home where we won't have to deal with people

Basically my wife and I are hippies, and we are decidin we're over the collect shit and die American way so we're taking our white priveledge money from my brother and I buying a house when the market was low and selling it in the middle of a crazy upswing in our part of town and buying a tiny cabin in the woods that we can almost immediately pay off. Be 27 and start planning your hippy retirement, breh

It's because we put corn, specifically corn sugar, in everything.

[Positive Touch]

It's because we put corn, specifically corn sugar, in everything.

yeah it isn't necessarily what kinds of food we eat, but that damn near every food on our shelves is filled with bullshit instead of being some regular-ass food

[nudemacusers]

I think it's interesting how Americans tend to lose their shit over certain types of food like butter or 'carbs' being bad for you, but they're still the fattest fatties on earth. I love butter. I love carbs. I'm not fat.

AFAIK the science of what's good or bad hasn't even changed that much in the past few decades. It's always been: eat your goddamn vegetables.

yeah but the fatties are reproducing.

I did like the European breakfast spreads they had when I was over there: cold cuts (especially smoked salmon), cheese, and full fat milk.

The stale rice from the previous day when you order dinner food for breakfast.

true but lately it's all I want to eat at most places. everything else is just way too much food. chicken caesar is also pretty hard to fuck up.

Do you go to places where it's uncouth to get a doggy bag or you just do shit afterwards so it's cumbersome?

Sometimes I like my Taco Bell to be properly cured, to lock in the flavors.

Sometimes I'm when I'm getting a McDonalds burger that spent too much time under the heat lamp, I kinda like it.
I think drying shit out concentrates the flavors. Recently made some fried chicken and realized that the more "juicy" I left it, the less I liked the result.

Getting fired from a 5 person office while 1 person is on maternity/paternity leave has to be a top 10 corporate L.

[Kara]

Addendum: this firing on Friday shit has got to go. The concern paid for Citizen L's lunches all week, to say nothing of the other costs they no doubt generated. Costs certain, workplace reprisal violence uncertain. Get on my level.

[Phoenix Dark]

[Madrun Badrun]

Wait you got fired?

[Kara]

No, I'm the person sorting through the aftermath.

[VomKriege]

Plenty of firing to probably come at my workplace too.

[Joe Molotov]

Kara will never get fired, he knows where all the bodies are buried.  Figuratively, of course.

[studyguy]

Firing duty's the worst shit.
Had to tell 9 contractors to kick rocks when the drought started a while back cause my boss was too much of a punk to do it himself. I was still like less than a year on the job there telling old men and women to get lost. 

[brawndolicious]

Firing someone in an office that size is like laying off a department. Did they fuck up bad or is it just to save money?

[Kara]

No one told me and asking would have damaged my carefully constructed persona of disinterest.

Knowing is not always half the battle.
