I kind of wish I had more HTML knowledge but then again I'm fine with my somewhat competent level of, at the very least, being able to change stuff around with my Tumblr themes.

It's currently raining while the sky is clear here in Tampa Bay, and I have to say: looking out at the ocean from the balcony, with the warm afternoon/evening sky mixing with the moderate rainfall, this place is beautiful.
@headphones: The only reason I have Beats earphones is because my phone came with them. I wouldn't have gotten them otherwise. They sound OK (certainly better than the white turds the iPhone came with), but I still find myself missing my $20 Sonys a lot.

I have some Sony headphones my mother bought me for Christmas. I was tired of breaking $20 earbuds, so I convinced her to get me some more rugged actual headphones...I care more about durability than sound quality, which I guess is strange of me.

You're listening to The Non-Stop McDonald's Combo Meal Hour, only on Caffeine 92.5!
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
I have some moderately-priced $50 sony noise-canceling headphones that I'm happy with whenever I need to use them. I have no idea what "beats" are but from the discussion here they seem to be shitty headphones with the bass cranked up.
As an aside could see justifying paying $50-100 for headphones if you listen to music alot but I cannot find the justification for the $300-600 "studio monitor" quality ones my other friends brag about constantly
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
But are they comfy and easy to wear? Everyone knows that's the most important thing to look for in shorts.

You really don't seem to be feeling your best lately, Lazuli. I wish there was something more I could do to help.
Long story short, awhile ago I made an offhand remark about not caring for Social Justice blogs on tumblr. I think we had in fact just finished discussing that here, and that's why I said it.
Someone felt this warranted a comparison to a Nazi.
Now normally, that's just a Godwin, but I am kind of sensitive about such comparisons, because in my case, there were several people in my family who were Nazi sympathizers during the second World War, not to mention other family members farther back having owned slaves. It's kind of a sore spot for me because I always feel like I've been somehow "tainted" by them--stupid thought, I know. It usually doesn't bother me too much, but it's one of the reasons I hate this kind of thing.
This was all awhile ago. Today, I saw this. The same group of people who brought that back to my memory are now harassing some Youtube vlogger whose sole crime was saying something kind of offensive three years ago. There's an IJBM thread about it and it just kind of brought that back and I just kind of exploded, though no one seems to have really been offended by me doing such.
tl;dr I'm just kind of pissed and sad right now, basically.
What drives people to make actually threatening death threats to people over the internet over something as stupid as a badly-used term? After the person apologized for it?
I'm not a bigot. I'm an average person who in fact prides themselves on being as non-judgmental as possible, and I get compared to fucking Hitler for my troubles. Clearly I'm the bad guy here. Because I'm not the one threatening to kill a blogger.

Super Lazuli: The best way to deal with these kinds of loudmouthed, accusatory critics is to ask them how they carry these high and mighty ideals of theirs into the real world. As in, do they actively do anything according to their ideals to make the world a better place, and how? Do they put their words to action, or are they just another blowhard on the internet? This applies to both sides of the political coin, by the way.
That's pretty much my criteria for listening to what any "political activist" has to say. Most of them don't even cut close to this simple measure.

Come at me bro
Maybe someday I'll learn how to make my own.
I have an enormous box of Cheez-its and a mug of soda.

Wish I had photos.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 201s.
Also, went to a bookstore because I have a lot of store credit there. Got Gravity's Rainbow because it's been on my list for too long.
I like my red shorts. Their pockets are big enough to hold the American releases of the Discworld books.

WOOHOO
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
I don't know.
I don't care.

Instant stress relief:
Exploit glitches and the like in Oblivion to get 100% Reflect Damage and 100% Resist Magic. Set difficulty at its lowest level. KILL STUFF
I don't have fifteen bucks.
Actually come to think of it
what the hell am I saying? I totally have Oblivion, I just have the 360 port and no idea where it is.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
We give it away as a stress-relief device
We'll make millions.
Heaper Programmers, you're free to take this idea, as long as I somehow get 5% of the profits.
I actually kind of suck at Oblivion.
I didn't know that was possible either.
Different hearts beat on different strings
But there are times, for you and me
When all such things agree
I know they're not "legitimate" so to speak.
I just think they're dickwads, and that frustrates me.
Sometimes you just wanna point a person at a mirror and say, look at yourself.
Not at my most articulate right now. IDK if this is meaningful or rude. Sorry if it's rude.
