TTBM #4? 5? I don't even-

TTBM: My sister died in minecraft. Her response was to hit the screen hard enough to make it flicker. I told her to get off the computer, seeing as how it was mine. She wouldn't listen, repeatedly shouting "LEAVE ME ALONE1" and the only thing keeping me from physically removing her from the computer would be actually harming her. Not that I have any probelm with hurting her at all, but if I do, then I get in trouble as well. Frankly, I'd love to smack the absolute shit out of her.

edit: In order to get her off the computer, I yanked a couple of cords out, including the mouse cord. Now said mouse cord is somehow usted and won't reconnect.

The last part doesn't bug me.

Something similar happened with my sister a week or two ago. Sorry, dude. If it's any consolation my mum has pretty much stopped crying in the shower by now, and me and my sister are on the way to reconciliation.
@Dew: Mouses are pretty cheap? If that helps.

Wait, he got mad because you bought him a present? []

Well, it was a stupid fight over something that doesn't matter, so no.

TTBM: It seems that Nichijou was only a 26 episode long series.

I wanted more! It's so awesome and cute!

TTBM: My dad's in the hospital with pneumonia.

That sucks, I hope he gets better. Deaths in the family are never enjoyable.

TTBM: My sister has taken it to new levels.

For starters, her oversensitivity struck once again. She is very easily offended, so whenever someone says pretty much anything that can be construed as negative about her, she tends to get huffy and starts stomping about. Today was no exception, with dad joking that she wouldn't get any presents, which put her in a foul mood during present opening time.
But the absolute most assholish thing she did today was when she opened up her first couple of presents and grumbled "I was grateful until I got clothes."
She had plenty more presents to open at that point, but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was somehow find a way to show off her bad mood and somehow spite the rest of us, because God forbid she have to learn to deal with her anger in such a way that isn't petty and bitchy.

If it were up to me, I would have smacked the absolute shit out of her. Then again, it is probably best that matters like this are not up to me.

Possibly.

TTBM: I skinned my knuckle on a pan lid and now I can't move my thumb very well. Due to the plaster.

I think I've devised a way to improve the world, albeit only slightly.

I will capture all the people who advertise their packaging as "Easy Peel" or similar. They will be seated at a desk with a packet of whatever they sell. They will have the time it takes me to draw a weapon, load it, aim, and fire to open the "Easy Peel" packet.
If they succeed, they live and are compensated for their trouble.
If not, well, you get the idea.
Eventually, the world will be free of packets that result in poor sods like me scrabbling ineffectually away for the 3 minutes, mocked by the smug "Easy Peel" note. And then usually just cutting it open.
I have no problem with things that take some time to open, just ones that are difficult to open and are also "Easy Peel".

TTBM: So, with little else to do, I decided to see if Omegle had any hilarity on it tonight.

After wading through the usual amount of exposed penises and people calling me a nigger, I found someone streaming a kiddie porn video.

Why? Just...why? I mean, it's bad enough that you're a depraved enough fuck to be watching child pornography, but why in the living sam fuck do you need to show everyone else this? What the fucking motherfuck?

This is why I have never and will never go on Omegle. []

I've been tempted to go on Omoogle before, if only to mess around with people. It's so easy to lie when typeing, no facal cues or voice stability to deal with. You can laugh all you want and he can't tell the difference. I can totally imagine this happening:

Is there any way to keep videos and pics from showing?

Sounds like a fulfilling activity.

What is it about technology that brings out the worst in other people? We should just run the Internet. I played Journey over Christmas on my PS3, which is a unique experience in the pool of online multiplayer. Other people appear in your game but you can't really communicate with them in the conventional sense: only sort of chirp at them. However, it's a game that encourages cooperation rather than competition and the other players in the game do as a rule want to help you out even if there are no obvious gains for them.

You could ask the same about sports or politics or religion or romance or literature or any number of things.
It's already there.
"Technology" just lets you see it more clearly because of screenshots and youtube and stuff.

I don't like to talk to anyone. Sometimes I drop my guard and smile at someone in a grocery store, and then I get yelled at. I'm pretty sure if I moved up north I'd be melted by a stream of insults.

Not in Pittsburgh...we're all friendly here. It's something upon which people from out of town often remark. []

In quebec we almost all smile at each other

Grocery stores are horrible places.
Abandoned buildings are more fun, if you go with a couple of friends.
No one fucks with people they find in an abandoned building.

Except when the other person's an asshole

@2Me: One time my brother found an owl in an abandoned building. Huuuuge wingspan. Owls are cool.

This is apparently a T-shirt you can buy in America.

Can you also buy it in Quebec?
