I am having a tough time deciding which toilet paper to buy.. should I get the standby Scott brand that lasts forever, or should I get the soft and pillowy Charmin that will pamper my butthole and leave it smelling powdery fresh..

Go for the Charmin. You deserve to treat yourself.

I'm flooded with first world problems right now. But just because they are first world issues, doesn't mean they aren't very real problems. For instance, currently vexing me are the following problems:

New toilet seats, or all new toilets?
Refinished cabinets, whole new kitchen, or save the cash and do nothing? (I'm thinking save)
What kind of fruit trees? Apples, Oranges, pears, fuck me with a plum?
Man cave design - add a "moonbogg" logo on the wall? (I'm thinking yes)
Etc

There's literally no way to walk to my new office without walking past the one Krispy Kreme in a 50 mile radius.

This could cause long term problems.

Just got new Herman Miller chairs for our department. Can't adjust the damn thing the way I want. Why would anyone ever pay $600 for this?

Ugh... now I cannot watch any recorded TV on my desktop if Windows Media Center is in windowed mode. That's not a huge deal for most content as I can use any media player that I want, but with protected content, I have to use WMC. So, I went to watch Last Week Tonight last night, and I ended up having to waste my bandwidth instead of watching my recording.

I just cannot catch a break! D: I tried searching up the issue, which appears to be the NVIDIA drivers causing the fault, but the only thing I could find was a thread on the GeForce forums with absolutely no answer... and it's had people posting in it for a year stating that the issue exists.

My first world problem happened a week or so ago, but it's ongoing... I had a huge bag of apples in my hand while at the store, but I put them down to see if there was anything better loose. Didn't see anything exciting, so I got the huge bag.

Problem was I wasn't paying attention, and got a family sized bag of fuckin' red delicious. The only apple that's worse than having no apples at all. I wanted the Macintoshes, but now I'm stuck with these horrible abominations for the next couple weeks assuming I can force one down per day :^S

Ain't that the truth :^D

One saving grace is they're crisp. They aren't mushy and mealy like they usually are. The skin is still like chewing through tree bark, and the thin sweetness that fades fast is still there, but I probably got the best red delicious you could possibly find. Yay Wegmans! :^|

The upside, apples are on the top 10 with the most pesticides so you won't have to worry about aphids.

I don't buy everything organic, do a lot more recently after reading Silent Spring. However, for a long time now I have bought and eaten only organic apples for this reason. I heard that they are one of the most poisoned (pesticide laden) produce you can buy.
