Trying to decide if I am going to sell my new $725 vaporizer because my $150 one outperforms it.

ITT: people who apparently don't realise that all of their problems are first world problems because, wait for it, they live in the first world.


Mind = blown.

I was crossing a street and a funeral procession without a police escort making a long line of left turns cut me off until the light turned red -- and cut off all opposing traffic too.

Local laws do NOT give funerals without police escorts special treatment. There was no hearse in the section, no hazard lights, just a convoy with a tiny funeral card stuck on their hood.

Had some trouble with the internet this morning, so, it took a while to find and watch a porno to crank out a batch to.

Which then made me late for work.

I just realized that due to being out of town, I won't be able to watch episode 2 of Game of Thrones until next Wednesday! :mad:

Tivo.

Wait, where you going?

Every hotel I stayed in since 2000 has HBO.

home. mom is having surgery.

no hbo at her place.

i ain't watching anything on my laptop. I don't tolerate the shit that you other plebs tolerate--media on your phones and laptops and bullshit like that. I don't know what is wrong with such people, tbh.


i don't know...maybe my buddy will be in town then...maybe he has the hbo, and maybe they are into it as well. ....I shall have to contact them, I suppose :hmm:

Even as first world problems go that is a little silly. Just do this, except with media.

Thats a MINOR problem. I'd be OK with it.

Ditto TV and movies. So long as I dont jump on the hype bandwagon I dont feel like I'm missing out on anything. I average about a year late for movies I do wanna see, and 3 years late for stuff I'm only mildly interested it.

Never saw Earl until after it was cancelled. Deadwood too.

felt guilty about not eating the last chips in a bag and going onto the next bag because of the ramifications on global food prices...

I wanted to play a video game tonight but instead will be going to an NHL hockey game and buying expensive beer because I want beer :(

Honest opinion? The US bidet adoption rate (outside of financial considerations), like many quirks possessed by this country, is due to our Puritan roots.

In general this country is extremely immature when it comes to anatomy, and the discussion there of. Directly spraying your balloon-tip with a stream of water can be seen as a homosexual act by the lesser evolved, or even discussing switching to a bidet setup isn't polite social conversation.

The wet wipe lobby has won!
