I fixed my tablet, yay!

Special thanks to Google and ebay, couldn't have done it without you!

 

[Amy_K]

It's like changing from right hand to left hand when pleasuring myself.


I also got a burger at Five Guys.

Funny consecutive blurts.

 

[Adre]

Leaving tomorrow for a mooching tour, where we stay with various friends for a night or two. Pro tip: arrive at each stop with two very nice bottles of wine firmly in hand.

It happened on Saturday. I sat down at a table and struck up a conversation with a fellow. I don't know why I did it; I didn't know a lot of people at the reception. His appearance was a little yucky— the hair and complexion a bit greasy, body a bit on the pudgy side, beglassed. It turned out he was an attorney who, following a ten year hiatus at a "health care consulting" firm had returned to the FDA where he was originally employed as a self-described "political appointee during the Clinton Administration." A native of Brooklyn, N.Y. he had attended law school in the Washington, D.C. shithole and (like so many others) had never gone back where he came from.

His field was tobacco and he had obviously been employed by the Clinton FDA to find a way to impose prohibition without actually calling it prohibition. Naturally, this pinguid and oleaginous fellow sees himself as a crusader and "world saver" whose mission in life is to save people from themselves. I rather doubt that it ever crosses his mind that he's in the business of harassing people, destroying jobs, creating black markets, encouraging criminality and restricting other people's freedom. In other words, he is a scoundrel.

A person like that is a born regulator and a latent dictator. He is completely oblivious to the concept that he and those like him are the reason lots of people won't start small businesses and won't expose capital to the risk of expropriation by a little shit bureaucrat paper-shuffler. It's beyond his comprehension; he doesn't get it and he never will. Now, after ten years as a "Beltway bandit" he's returning to the government uterus that spawned him. He's chomping at the bit for the opportunity to regulate e-cigarettes.

In the last fifty years, the population of D.C. has exploded with people like him. They come to feed at the trough of Big Government and they never go back where they came from. It wasn't that long ago that the region had a healthy mix of agriculture and manufacturing. Big Government has wrecked the whole region with massive over-development, urban sprawl, political sclerosis and nightmarish congestion.

That fellow represented everything that's wrong.

The sense of self-importance and entitlement was palpable and disgusting.

And I'm sure you feel the same way about teachers. Or public defenders. Or scientists. Or academics. I want to be sympathetic, but your language is so dated, your biases so obvious, that I don't think meaningful communication with you would be possible. You are a relic of a war of ideas you don't even have the sense to realize you've lost.

He pretty much described himself. Especially in the last sentence.

 

[eyer]

And I'm sure you feel the same way about teachers. Or public defenders. Or scientists. Or academics...your biases so obvious...

Actually...

...it's only your "biases" which makes you "sure" that he feels any "way" that you ascribe to him.

Correct me in I'm wrong, trysail:

Do you blindly "feel the same way about teachers. Or public defenders. Or scientists. Or academics." as the wannabe states as fact...

...or is how you feel about teachers, public defenders, or scientists predicated on other factors that the wannabe disingenously and intentionally omits?

Hey, Dicksmith:

You seem to love to habitually harp about "we" and "my generation" and how it and you all are so differently better from the generations before you...

...you do realize that there are many of your own generation who consider you a putz, too. Right?

You nailed it...

...and I'm not going to respond to him. It's not worth the time and the effort— he'd never get it, anyway.

Watch y'self, Learnsmith.

Once Eyer's taken a shine to you and starts humping your leg, it's hard to shake him off!

stop being boring!

 

[butters]

typical piece of gov't propaganda designed to mislead the uniformed and get the 'bloody scroungers!' voting block muttering darkly:

5 million quid to send out these ''informative breakdowns'' to a select number of the populace, explaining how their taxes are spent. far and away the largest slice is titled simply Welfare - it neglects to point out that unemployment is a tidgy 1% approx... the thing is, you say WELFARE here, and it's almost synonymous with the great unemployed.
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/78720000/gif/_78720145_taxbreakdown_govexample.gif

seems to me this is all about paving the way to yet further cuts in benefits for those least able to cope. tory fuckin' gov't.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said:

I promised that taxpayers would know much more about how much direct tax they pay and how that money is spent.

Now we’re delivering on that promise by giving 24m taxpayers a new personal tax summary.

It is a revolution in transparency and it will show how hardworking taxpayers have to pay for what governments spend.

Hell I accidently wiped out cookies on my pc the other day and saw what the front page of the General Board looks like without my ignore list.

The horror...the horror....

 

[MonaLittle]

He pretty much described himself. Especially in the last sentence.

I have a theory about him. he sounds very much like someone else I know on here.

How does anyone survive here without turning signatures off.....

Im with you. Mine have been turned off since the first month I joined.

The horror...the horror....

I post from my phone lots of times and every now and then I can't log on because of bad reception where Im at. The same thing happens. No iggy list. All the signatures show. It's like an entire different place.

 

[Learnsmith]

He pretty much described himself. Especially in the last sentence.

Him? Or I? And if the latter, on what basis?

 

[eyer]

Him? Or I? And if the latter, on what basis?

If you were as intelligent as you imagine yourself to be...

...you wouldn't have had to even ponder that.

If you were half as intelligent as you imagine yourself to be...

...you'd make a note of that truth in an effort to actually educate yourself.

But, you won't...

...because the fact is: you're not even a fraction as smart as you imagine yourself to be.

OR...he doesn't have much faith in Disgustipated's level of intelligence. So there's that.

Been dealing with a case at work where this woman has a massive hoarding issue. Maggots have come through the light fitting into the downstairs flat.
