What pissed you off today? Mark II

I don't appreciate the book pushing the Mormons do, but I'm always completely blown away by their language skills. Goes to show that it you really feel you're on a mission and need to learn the language to complete it, anything's possible. I guess you learn really fast if you spend your days speaking the language, even if you're not yet fluent in it. Or even very proficient.

That conversation with my School Husband has me pissed off and wanting to go cut off genitalia.

Two deaths in the last few days.

A friend of a friend, in Belgium, was terminally ill and chose euthanasia this week. He was only in his forties, and his kids are pretty young, which is sad. But he got to make arrangements, say his goodbyes, and then go out painlessly with his family around him.

My friend's much-loved stepfather, in Australia, also terminally ill. Euthanasia or assisting suicide is illegal here; he went out to the country alone and shot himself, without being able to tell his loved ones goodbye. I never met him, but my friend's understandably upset. In this country you can give a dog a peaceful death, but human beings don't get the same choice. :-/

Yes, but you didn't mention their sexy accent

I knew I forgot something.

Maybe instead of trying to learn French I should just learn to speak English with a French accent.

I'm so sorry.

It exists. Joseph Smith wrote the book of Mormon which was supposedly inspired by his discovery of a set of divine gold plates with ancient writing inscribed on them.

...Which nobody but him and his inner circle of 10 people ever 'saw' and were conveniently taken back up to heaven by an angel in the middle of the night with nobody around...

...He was also convicted of over 100 counts of fraud using a 'seer stone' which he said told him the location of treasure (which always coincidentally seemed to be buried on people's property) which he then dug up for a fee. Obviously never actually finding anything of value. Some instances of which involved 'discovering' divine solid gold plates with ancient writing on them...

Nothing.

I'm really, really, really disgustingly happy.

I clicked this link just to see what it was... Had just gotten this out of my head after watching "Legend" waste the true LEGEND, Stevie, in this on "LSB" (which Liar Liar J told everyone was LIVE though guide said it originally aired on 9-11).

Also, went out to Breakfast with family, sharing stories, & had one interrupted for I-really-don't-know-what-#-time so they could greet a neighbor I grew up next to that works there now.

My kid starts a new school on Monday. So we went and got him a new lock. One that is directional instead of the old turn combination. While I was setting the new combination my kid snatched it away and now I have no clue what the combo is to get it open again. That lock was not cheep. I am so not happy with him.

Getting to a job site, and finding that the equipment and tools you forwarded there was broken into by one of their employees. And the owner thinks it's my fault that, I can't fix his equipment in the time frame I quoted him.

I'm drunk.

My neighbour was killed in a traffic accident yesterday. I went round today and it was as awful as you would expect.

But tonight the image I can't get out of my head is his 6 year old son, in the midst of adult grief, so pale and quiet and bewildered, clutching his teddy.

It broke my heart. And I'm angry for him and his mum and his family and everyone else who gets so fucking hurt by tragic, pointless accidents. So I'm drinking. Because I'm useless.

 

[Bramblethorn]

*hugs* B.
I'm so sorry.

Thanks

I didn't know either of them, so it's not really my grief, you know? But I hate seeing my friends sad.

It's just as valid of a way to get past the initial grief as any other thing. I'm sorry your life was touched this way, and your neighbour's family altered forever

I hope you are alright-er now Lucy.
Apart from the probably hangover of course.

What annoyed me...
Politicians. As per the usual.
Just me thinking about the insanity going on in the world at 6am>9am as I read UN Peacekeeper reports and about the certifiable quagmire of Syria and the German government hiring an ex-Stasi informant and her merry band of fascists to police German social media for "Xenophobic" content...

That itself is a very interesting story and is sorely lacking in detail on her Wikipedia page. The Stasi reports that are on public record concerning her unambiguously show that she facilitated the capture and eventual torture of critics of the east Berlin regime, another one of which fled to west Germany and eventually killed himself due to stress incurred by her actions against him and she also had a bogus social scientist write a thesis basically about how much of a great person she was.
Thankfully, it's been widely panned as non-scientific biased drivel by actual academics.
Fitting that they'd place a Stasi in charge of their information censorship campaigns...

I'm in that mood where evenly spreading tactical nukes around the face of the Earth sounds like a utopian solution to all our problems.

Seeing the same people who were all "we must protect our wimminz against those rapey foreigners" now making desperate excuses for why a 59-year-old boasting about sexual assault is just youthful indiscretion.
