    A horse has personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Dammit. That's a reference to something; a quote from somewhere. But I can't place it.

    Too bad the internet doesn't exist, or I bet you could figure it out.

    Also, it's Pulp Fiction, silly pants. :P

    Pulp Fiction.

    And Jules was wrong, because pigs do have personality.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    It occurs to me that you may have been joking. But I'm keeping my post, because I enjoy the expression "silly pants."

    I REGRET NOTHING!

    :lol: Goddamit. I should have known that! (Wasn't joking, either, to my mild embarrassment.)

    Looking at a horse, it just doesn't look seem like it would be as delicious as a pig. All that muscle. Would be willing to be proved wrong though.

    I lost track of how many pigs I've killed as compared to the handful of deer.

    Fatten it up a bit and don't race the thing and the meat (muscle) would have some more marbling.

    I just got 'pity rep.'

    That's okay. I'll wait. Bide my time. The wheel will turn, young lady.

    So I get home from work last night and find a piece of paper had been slipped under my door. It's an invitation to a "coffee jazz mixer" by one of my neighbors (whom I have never met) in another apartment in my building. He apparently slipped them under every door. The last paragraph in the letter says "the meeting is for us to introduce ourselves, drink coffee and discuss opportunities to make additional income." First red flag. He probably wants me to join a pyramid scheme. I notice that the note has a letterhead which says "Organo Gold." So I google Organo Gold and it's the most transparent pyramid scheme I have ever seen. Ostensibly, they also sell coffee, but mainly they want you to become a sales person and convince your friends and family members to become sales people (and, if you're desperate, anyone who lives in your apartment building). I'm tempted to go to the mixer to expose what a scam it is and potentially dissuade anyone else from joining.

    Also, is it normal to drink coffee at 7:30 p.m.? I'm not a coffee drinker, so I'm genuinely curious.

    Only if caffeine barely affects you. It has a half life of 6 hours or so. I'd be awake waaaay too late if I had coffee at 7:30 pm.

    One of my friends routinely drinks espresso after dinner. I don't know how he does it.

    I can drink coffee at pretty much any time and not be kept up, but I have a serious caffeine dependency.

  15. #37340
    Sometimes I wanna stay up all night to work on a paper, drink a ton of coffee, then finish off a pot at like three in the morning. A couple minutes after I've taken that last drop, I'm like, "eh, nevermind," and go to sleep without a problem.

    I got caffeine in this here bloodstream.

    How do you know your account was hacked? Are you sure you just weren't affected by their well known API "glitch". From what I understand, the API allows access without authentication - how it's exploited is this: You visit a website with malicious javascript that uses their API. You are already logged into yahoo in another tab. The API code sends a message to everyone in your address book. It only works if you are already logged in. Your password is still secure.
    The password might still be good, but the spammers were able to use my contacts list to send spam e-mails out. Anyways I've decided to delete most of the e-mails (and have already begun to do so) plus I got rid of my contacts list. Luckily I've been able to change e-mail addresses for the sites I was using the Yahoo account for, so I'm hoping mitigating the damage.

    And yeah I echo chrisnu: going to the mixer to expose the pyramid scheme is the right idea. Although my way of doing it (yelling "ITS A FUCKING SCAM, MAN!") is probably not the best way to do it....

    Yep, that's the issue. The underlying problem though is javascript which can easily install malware on your PC. You should install the noscript (notscripts for Chrome) plugin. It allows you to block javascript on a site by site basis and is really easy to use.

    Ha! I think this is the scheme my girlfriend's mother tried to talk me into on the very first day I met her. I am very good at tuning that stuff out though, so I can't be sure. But I do know it's coffee and that its "organic" - so probably.

    I wonder how wide-spread this one is?

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    No beer for almost 3 weeks, and my blood pressure went down to normal for the first time in about 3 years - I started drinking beer heavily about 4 years ago.

    Anti-hipsterdom has jumped the shark. People who constantly bitch and whine about hipsters have become as annoying, self-righteous and pretentious as hipsters themselves.
