I'm not really enjoying it but I think that's more the fault of ME3 multiplayer than Dead Space's fault
After so much ME3MP Dead Space feels incredibly clunky control-wise
She comes when I call her by name.
My boss was complaining about a patient yesterday. Parents are divorced, dad is gay and rediscovering his sexuality in SF and is a crappy parent (allowing his son to run around and even throw a plastic truck at the doctor). Whatever, shitty parent.
So today my boss takes the opportunity to go off on how kids always get fucked up when the parents leave, why can't they stay together for the children, and why cant they figure that out before they have kids. I just said that plenty of people do not end up fucked up or become bad parents when that happens, but I wanted to scream that he has no idea what it's like to not know who you are and try to figure that out, you can't put your life on hold for that, if you haven't had complete terror and doubt at your identity then shut the fuck up about how people should figure it out and on what time frame.
Aaaghhhhhh
He then made some (slightly) transphobic comments and asked the technician if she knew any gay people who'd had kids and gotten divorced later and just
fuck
Ugh.
So that's the first time something that bad has happened to me at work, though I guess it's not the first time something like that has happened.
my old dog was king
my cat was simba
He named her, "Dixie Normus."
She never would come to that. She later was renamed by my wife to "Doodlebug."
We just call her, "Bugsy."
Blaming is easier than empathising.
Sorry that happened
Save the kitties!

That . . . BLOWS.
Okay. Remember. Fall, you're done. Maryland. Boom.
And then he bailed and went back to bed
And my other friend is a little late and I'm sooo hungry I could die
Why I wake up and eat nothing for 7 hrs? I don't know
My brother is 7 Hitlers.
fuck that hurt

Yeah I'm scared for Maryland but I am going to be so fucking glad to be gone from here.
you may be interested in the symposium that Crooked Timber held on Debt. It ended so badly that it re-ignited the brouhaha between left-wing neoclassical economists and left-wing anthropologists that had been dormant for more than a decade (Graeber is an anthropologist, not an economist). Still, the comments had a lot of good back-and-forth between Graeber and other participants, at least initially.
"Why couldn't they figure it out sooner?"
"Why can't you fucking keep your mouth shut if you obviously don't know the first thing about it?"
I kind of spent my entire adult life trying to figure myself out so yeah I am a bit sensitive about dumb shit like that.
Lack of punctuality (given punctuality is relevant to the context) is probably one of the most annoying things
You gotta respect other people's time
(Shaz that also sucks.)
There is surgery for that!
Well, your boss doesn't sound like a totally horrible person
I mean isn't he mostly live and let live, most of the time?
this is a special situation where one kind of has reason to be annoyed at the parent so
There is a lot of lameness going around today! What is all this.
Glad you rescued it though.
It might not be that good. We shall see. At least the Doctor has a cool hat.
Oh well. Small butt aside she has strong legs to carry around heavy armor and a sword all day.
Hmm I should make my rogue too.
He's not annoyed with the parent, he's annoyed at gay people for always leaving their kids and being shitty parents.
When someone does something wrong it's because people are funny, unless they're Mexican and then what's the deal, why are they so poor sociologically, or gay and then why do gay people always do this?
I got a shoe thrown at my be a five year old the other day and I am not complaining about how boys are always throwing shit and abandoning their families.
be mad at the parent for being a shitty parent, not for having kids or getting married
He usually isn't but he definitely has troublesome issues and doesn't know how to evaluate people from a minority without dragging that in and ascribing everything to that.
well, he is annoyed at the parent. That's why he's spouting the bull.
wish I had some that I could wear in public and that fit well instead of my "too lazy to put lenses on today" glasses
which were super cheap, are ill-fitting, and purple
Quite often (Certainly in my case), things are worse when the parents stay together.
What kid wants to hear his parents scream at each other every single day? It's horrific. My life got a million times better when my mom left. It was night and day.

I'm hanging out with some of my bros and Justin is running a new core NWoD game where we're supernatural investigators.
I have rolled up a two-fisted truck driver who's not sure about this whole occult business. He drives a truck called the Turbo T-Bone and his skill specialty for Subterfuge is "Fake Handyman."
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
I had a pair of these and they slowly turned into my "all the time" glasses because I'm so damn lazy.
*sucks teeth* "I see the problem. You're going to need a new flange knuckle. And the grundle seal is completely shot. Normally I'd be able to sort you right out but I've lent my knuckler to my brother in law"
I've been catching some blog posts about the econ v. anthro stuff that has surrounded Graeber. A lot of it has gone over my head, to be honest.
