Management brought dinner into the office for the couple people staying late, Japanese food. The boxes came with chopsticks only, no forks. That was a toil, I'm useless with them. Why are Asian restaurants in the Western World still clinging to this inferior mode of eating food...

How about slowing down for a moment, relaxing, and enjoying each bight of food?

why do westerners have such inferior hands?
 
So I placed an internet order to have shipped to my P.O Box....however the dumbfucks shipped it via UPS - which doesn't deliver to PO Boxes (everyone knows that?). Fortunately I work in the building that it is dispatched out of, but I still had to track it down in the building and then have someone make corrections in the system so I could take it home with me - otherwise it would've been returned to the sender.

The trick is to use the chopsticks like a fork, at least it works for larger items. I still have no idea how they manage to eat rice with those things. Asians are better at hand eye coordination though, there must be some odd trick to it that we just can't figure out. That's why they kick our asses in video games all the time.
 
I can fake using chopsticks... but I've given up on life and just ask for a fork and knife now in Asian restaurants.
 
I learned AT is full of neanderthals with no hand dexterity. If you can't use chop sticks and have "full" use of both your hands, you are a moron. I literally learned how to use chopsticks reading a fucking diagram on the side of the package is a child. If you cannot do that, with all the technology afforded to us, you probably can't tie a necktie either. In other words, you're worthless.

If you have no problems using chopsticks, you probably don't have many first world problems. :sneaky:

I dont know anything about you but I guarantee I learned how to make up a necktie at a much younger age and do it faster & better than you ever will. Skinny, fat, short, way too fucking long, I can make the necktie work for me.



Over the line.

Just downloaded a torrent without checking how many files. Sure enough it was one of those rar explosions with like 9000 individual rar files. WTF do people do that shit? Downloading another now.

Newsgroups have strict limits on individual file sizes. Also, newsgroup apps automatically connect all those little RAR's.


SUPPOSEDLY newsgroups are safer than torrents, but I dont know for sure.

It's where the vast majority are originally released. Anyone extracting and re-upping somewhere is tampering with the release. The scene tracks releases so you aren't doing anyone any favors. They won't know what's been nuked or fixed because you're an idiot.

As for torrents, I have revived many a torrent by getting the incomplete files from the elsewhere and re-seeding.

So fuck you and your chopsticks, you little yellow bitch.

Good morning, shorty. Hope you woke up on the right side of the bed today.
 
Fire alarm went off again (happened about a week or so ago too). Threw on clothes and grabbed the cat and waited outside but no one else evacuated and the fire department never came. 20 minutes later it stopped and I was late for work so I had to leave in the wrong clothes without brushing my teeth.
 
Wife keeps asking, and I STILL don't know what I want for fathers day.

I literally can't think of anything I want or need.
