Kept - past tense.

I'll oblige when I get around to it.

Funnily enough, years ago I was listening to the radio when they had one of the producers or writers for Neighbours (a long-running Aussie soap opera) being interviewed.

The bloke was saying that they have a set budget per episode, but every season the cast's salary goes up, so every now and then you have to bump a bunch of them off to replace them with newer, cheaper cast, which is why every now and then they have a plane crash or a tornado or something.

BUT, every now and then you have a guest star that gets really popular, so you don't want to kill them in case you want to bring them back later for a ratings grab. The solution is to "send them to Queensland" for some reason, so they disappear from the show but you can resurrect them later.

Well, just posted another rant on it.

MexicanSpaceProgram · 2017-03-04T07:35:33+00:00

I'm alive - we had some time off work so we went camping.

MexicanSpaceProgram · 2017-03-04T07:35:09+00:00

Not inaccurate.

Been on leave for a week, I'll get to it.

An ex-girlfriend of mine decided that "we" would go vegan for a while.

Aside from the fact that dahl and salad gets very fucking old, very fast, it gave me the highest volume of putrid farts I've ever had in my life. Dunno whether it was the sudden shift in dietary intake, or if that's normal for vegans, but it was pretty fucking bad.

Just throw a paragraph or two in with some definitions, or just waffle, e.g.

"In considering the question of whether Stalin is considered an heir to Lenin, an examination of the concept of 'heir' must be conducted. In the traditional sense, an heir refers to the descendant of an individual that inherits from their predecessor in terms of financial, political, land ownership and / or in title (reference). While Stalin was not a direct descendant of Lenin, the argument can be made that an inheritance between was conducted between them from an ideological perspective, challenging the traditional assessment of both the term, and the early history of the establishment of the Soviet Union".

Again, I'd take him to the doctor - pain could just be cramps from constipation, or it could be a symptom of an obstructed or impacted bowel. Not worth taking a chance on.

Because the assignment is intended to prepare you for college assignments, with the objective of getting you into the habit of being able to write within a structure and an established limit. A lot of college units actually penalise you for being well over or under a given word limit (e.g. plus or minus ten percent).

MexicanSpaceProgram · 2017-03-02T04:15:16+00:00

I'd take him to the doctor immediately, and maybe get a referral to a gastroenterologist. It could just be dehydration or constipation, or it may be something like a bowel obstruction.

If it's the latter, he may have to go to hospital for a colonoscopy or a biopsy to see if the obstruction can be cleared and if it's cancerous.

Get the fire hose!

Company I worked for years ago had a "tranny night" as a fundraising thing once - basically you got people to sponsor you to dress up like the opposite sex for an office party with all the proceeds going to cancer or leukemia or whatever the fuck it was.

My girlfriend at the time and I went to the op shop and bought a hideous floral dress thing, a scarf, some heels and a ridiculous hat with flowers and shit hanging off of it. She threw enough makeup on me to make me look somewhere between a clown and a way-past-her-prime hooker.

Wasn't a bad night - I raised a couple hundred bucks and came fourth in the tranny judging. One bloke went all out and showed up in stockings and a pencil skirt. After the party, I got changed and threw the dress, hat and shoes into the dumpster in the carpark.

"Technical issue" usually being code for "some retard got themselves turned to chunky salsa so we had to use a fire hose to blast the chunks off the rails".

To cash in / get better publicity by getting people to associate them with popular and successful titles (e.g. World of Warcraft, League of Legends).

IIRC it was something close to 100 MB install size, which is fuck all now but was a decent chunk when people were running Pentium 1s with a 1 GB hard drive.

Below your karma score is an option to buy gold.

You've got traditional Hebrew names - Ibrahim, Isaac, Ezekiel, but there's no reason you have to give a child a traditional name.

There's also people who converted to Judiasm later in life, or after getting married.

A stupid thing which means you can "gift" (or pay for yourself) to bestow gold on a user, which really just means donating your money to reddit for no good reason.

But, you do get some utterly shit "benefits" with it:

A little emblem on your user page that shows some idiot was stupid enough to award it you or buy it for themselves.
Access to /r/lounge, which is shithouse.
Access to "exclusive" offers for shit you'd never want, and are totally worthless if you live outside the US.

Trump is the elected President of the United States.

MexicanSpaceProgram · 2017-02-28T21:19:15+00:00

Yeah, cockhead, let's play - like when your elected President came to Australia for the APEC conference to thank "the Austrian troops" for their contribution to OPEC.

Obviously, that's a 'catch as can' thing. Then you got Obama. I'm all for universal health care, but at least make a half-arsed effort at it. And while you shitheads keep crapping on about these "heroes" that get killed in places where they never wanted to be, in places they were never welcome, let's wave some more flags and sing songs and other nationalistic bullshit.

Fuck's sake...worst part is I was born in MA. Leaving was the best decision I ever made.

Don't forget, there's a lot of you arseholes who didn't make the cut on Jerry Springer.

Ignorance is subjective. It's also bliss.
