JACK IS BACK

Once in Freshman year I got pantsed by some short Mexican kid during PE, so a couple days later I saw him with his back turned and knew it was my time to shine. Only problem was that while he pantsed me in a remote area of the school so nobody but our classmates saw (and nobody snitched of course) I did it in a central plaza with classrooms right next to the pantsing area. And I was an amateur at the pantsing business, so I pulled down his shorts and his underwear. A teacher, of course, saw me and I got two and a half days suspension. I don't regret that I did it, I regret that I got caught, and I'd do it again.

I got a minor concussion in dodgeball in middle school because I was trying to do a really cool dodge. I ended up falling backwards onto the concrete and passing out for like 5 minutes. In my defense it was a hella sweet dodge and I didn't get hit.

​ I had sort of a similar thing happen to me when a friend who only recently had been diagnosed with autism told me he was going to summer camp specifically for teenagers with autism and I laughed like a solid ten minutes at the concept of autism camp and really hurt his feelings

Bought games on Early Access

I'll sign up, but you should all know that if you end up getting stuck with me as a secret santa I will send you a dragon dildo and I will not be discrete about shipping it.

So today at work I had an... interesting encounter. About five minutes after the store opened, a guy (I'm estimating forties, maybe fifties) walks up to me at the customer service desk with a printout of an Amazon book listing. I look up the book, Barnes and Noble has none in stock. Nothing unusual yet. It was some old science book or something. And then he shows me the paper with the prices of both the paperback and kindle editions and asks "what's this kindle edition thing?" And that's when my morning went from boring to amazing. He legitimately did not know what a Kindle was. So i show him the nook e-readers in the store, explain the concept to him, and he's like "so you download the books?" I'm thinking he understands it now, and then he says something about physical books being better, more or less the normal arguments - actual physical book, no need to worry about internet or battery, etc. And then he goes into some crazy tangent about hospitals and surgeons and the internet and there's no other customers that I can escape to go help (and I didn't think to find a book to put back on the shelves or something similar). He's saying stuff like "computers and robots can't make the split second judgments in heart surgery like a real doctor." And my favorite part, he somehow got to talking about how in japan they have (and this is a direct quote) "female robots." I swear on my life I am not making this up. I'm standing there nodding politely and praying that one of the other employees or someone can hear me telepathically and save me. After a while of this he finally leaves. I look at the clock, it's 9:20. Fifteen minutes occupied by one random weird guy. I look at one of the other booksellers in the vicinity, say "I need a minute," walk over to a corner, and just laugh like a loon for a solid minute. 9:58 PM - Idiot Cube: what I want to know is how he navigated through amazon at all without learning what a kindle was 9:58 PM - Simon: this is a very, very valid question 9:59 PM - Idiot Cube: maybe one of his fellow japanese robot conspiracy theorists just gave him the link 9:59 PM - Simon: when he said female robots I thought he was going to go in a whole other horrible direction 9:59 PM - Simon: frankly i was both relieved and a bit disappointed

​I think we need to take into account the moral objections the weapons wielding other weapons would have to the situation they've been seemingly forced in to. Do they want to fight? If so, why? Can't they solve their difference over a chat? Which one of them is justified in their taking of life? Are neither justified? Are they both? Who decides what is or isn't justified? Clearly this goes much deeper.

 

Someone drew this on one of the whiteboards outside of the dorms, it looks quite nice.

Let's share some stories about how we've embarassed ourselves in the past Back in high school when I was about 15-16 years old, I was invited by a friend to come hang out with some of his friends later that evening. I didn't know these people and they were all older than me so it was a bit awkward, but we had fun just hanging around at my friend's place. Around 10 however, people were getting bored of just sitting around and we wanted to go somewhere. One of them knew there was a party going on at the animal farm, but noone knew where that exactly was. I knew however! So we jumped into the car and drove off whilst I gave directions, happy to be in charge of this group of cool people for a while. And about twenty minutes later, we got there: "...Raz?" "yeah?" "this is an animal farm" "yeah!" "...with goats and chickens and stuff" "......yeah?" And it turned out, "the Animal Farm" was the name of some kind of bar-dance hall thing and in retrospect it didn't make much sense there would be a dance party in the stables. So as we still didn't know where the Animal Farm was we just awkwardly hung out at the actual animal farm for an hour before driving back and luckily I never had to see those friends of a friend again for the rest of my life. The End.

When I was five I took a picture on my peanus weanus without knowing that was a very bad thing to do. I couldn't look at a digital camera for like three years afterwards without feeling bad. See this is kinda what I feel when people throw their friend's souls off of bridges.

At first look I thought that was a doujin

Oh boy I wonder what they are talking about in TIAM now, let's see- I On the other hand, it makes me realize even more how relatively normal my uni classes are.
