Your pointless thoughts & observations

This is actually opposite of pointless but an observation I have been having lately is that the older I get, the less ok I am with my ultimate and inevitable death. I feel like this should be trending opposite which would seem to be in line with most people as they grow older in that they generally are more comfortable with their mortality than the younger folk. Can’t even age properly. Fuck

Do you mind if I talk to you about our Lord and savior Jesus Christ?

^Remove the "/s" and I'm on board

When Jesus walked on water Venice was like 'hold my beer'

Evolution programmed us to fear death, because, well, those who didn't fear death were less likely to live until they could reproduce. So I think it's pretty natural to fear death, even though it may be irrational since we're all eventually going to die. Fighting the survival instinct that's buried so deep in our brain and genes with logic is kind of hard.

A random thought: I'm spending a few weeks in China and I'm starting to feel I need to buy some of the ridiculous t-shirts I see here. Some of them are so subtly funny. Like I just saw t-shirt that said "Frankie go to Hollywood"

I think you should.  Buy some shirts, that is.

BORN TO DIE

shirts.

observation: today was supposed to be the day blade runner events happen in los angeles. 

i'm currently in LA and the only thing they got correct is that it would be raining. 

I did have the best bowl of Ramen of my life just last week, which is a bit Blade Runner-esque.

A client recently mentioned a musician friend of his, first name Adolf.  My immediate response was "that's an unfortunate first name."  Does that name remain fairly common place in Germany?  Seems like one that would have been phased out by now.

apparently it's normal for tour guides to be called "führers", since it's just a generic word for leader.

I was thinking, it seems like lots (all) hentai is aimed at a young audience. Is this because the people making it are trying to encourage the people watching it to have sex, to help the declining birth rate of Japan.

Or I guess the hentai might be doing the opposite 

young peopl more have high energy rates and time amoutns and greater is reproduction impulse of them

Only people who got their names before WW2 might still have that name. Your friend's client is either really old or has Nazi parents

Pretty sure rats are more intelligent than mice.

There was a mentally handicapped fellow that used to work for a local grocery shop years ago that had a hitler moustache. 

He probably just really loved Charlie Chaplin.

Continuing with my weird things to buy from China..

I haven't bought any t-shirts yet but I found this handheld NES emulator for 9.2USD that has 400 games (well some games seem to be there multiple times). Besides the usual pirated official NES games it has a bunch of weird bootleg games like Super Mario 14 in which Mario is a samurai but the best one I found so far is "Chip'n'Dale 3" that replaces the title screen and some of the sprites from Heavy Barrel. Basically Chip and Dale go around fucking slaughtering everybody with assault rifles, lol. I'm just sad that I don't have the original cartridge,  because just look at this shit.

It gets funnier the more I look at it.

Another interesting thing is that the device is powered by an old-school Nokia BL-5C battery.

lol

amazing 

Chip or dale is a bear now

I got something like that while in a San Fransisco thrift store, which advertised 7200 classic games.  There were in fact 72 games 100 times over.  I used it almost exclusively for Dr. Mario.

What's the deal with quiche?
