stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My Freshdirect delivery doesn't come till morning, but I'm hungry now.

My cat's favorite cat food smells like a penguin tank.

My cat's favourite food smells uncomfortably similar to what comes out of her arse a few hours later.

The outside drain has blocked up again, second time in two years. This means that i can't use the water in my house (lucky i've got some prepacked in the fridge then isn't it, you naysayers from that other thread ;-p )

probably gross alert

I didn't like my FWP enough to leave it here.

I worked during the rain, but I would have much rather been out walking in it.

I don't get what's so wrong about "being watched" and all those privacy issues and Snowden and shit. Can someone explain please?

Do you not understand what the leaks said, or do you just not understand why people care?

I'm out of money til Friday. But I'm not alone, and there should be enough food rations to last me til then.

Guess I've gotten used to this shit.

why people care? I thought it was obvious police and shit were watching us for safety...

He's just trolling. Ironically attempting to be your fwp. Obviously we don't need to spend hundreds of billions worldwide on global millitary exercises and domestic spying networks, when the average number of western civilians killed by terroist actions has remained stable at an insignificant number, lower than shark attacks and certainly lightening strikes, for decades. What about the tens of thousands that die every year from road accidents (in the US alone)? We don't ban cars and force everyone on to government approved donkey carts. And how about the millions that die every year due to malnutrition, or even the hundreds of thousands due to (in the US again) a poorly functioning health care system. By any logical metric, the war on terror benefits not the public, it's an absolute disaster for the public. Long lines and invasive checks at the airports, any political action outside of that approved status quo is monitored and even agressively targeted with peace activists beaten and jailed, criminal records then blighting lives. And on and on. It's ridiculous in the extreme. Only a fool or someone who stands to gain financially would agree with what's happening.

(sorry, just killing time before work, the plumber is here (yay!!). Had to wake up early to deal with him (boo, hiSs !!))

I dunno how much you've read about the subject logakght, but here's a few articles I dug up just now if you're interested. Start with the actual leak stories though if you haven't heard much about it. I'm honestly kinda baffled that you don't see why people are upset - the fourth amendment basically flew out the winda earlier this year.

edit: @delet, yar I don't think log is just trying to be a troll, I've seen him ask some pretty broad questions on the boards before and I like giving people the benefit of the doubt. but yes, the points you made help drive it all home. a ridiculous, expensive, intrusive, illegal surveillance state is all around us. check out that eff.org link ^^ kinda helps drive home the "chilling effect" that awe/erlichmann is always mentioning.

It's cool, any time people try to bring light to this issue an angel sheds a tear of hope in heaven.

hey thanks meng. also yeah I ain't trolling this time.

Also, they must have been running low on people to drone strike, because across north africa and the middle east to pakistan, they've gone and broken out criminals. My brother joked that they need them cause they were running low on mercenaries for the Syrian insurgency. But perhaps there'll be a september surprise and they need a purported cause for the intended effect.

Politics in my FWP thread :<

windbag colleague is back from 2 weeks holiday. blah blah blah blah...

i'm actually developing quite a dislike for this woman and i don't like feeling like this about anyone. but she never fucking shuts up... i mean NEVER! she talks constant pish, states the obvious, finishes everyone's sentences, asks stupid questions, talks really loud, makes remarks about my family as if she knows them... and eats all day long like she's at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

she even has that clicking noise on when she texts!

Sounds pretty innoffensive really, at least she's not being a backstabby cuntstain all the time like the people that i have to work with. Loud talking would get to me though. I think you should stop focusing on it as it will only make you feel bad. Try to tune it out with happy thoughts, be nice with her and then one day when you have built rapore tell her everything you think she is doing wrong in a fun way.
