This whole thing involving wal-mart and making people work today is really depressing. That and Christmas are just two days out of an entire year. What's really depressing is the conservative element cheering this on, you'd think that given the religious element of both of these holidays they'd give in on two days out of 365. I guess this is just another casualty of the extreme polarization that's continuing.
So, I bought an anthology of Kurt Vonnegut short stories, and it turns out that he wrote this story in 1956. It's called "Miss Temptation", and it's about this small-time actress in a small-time town. She always gets the men watching when she goes outside to get her mail. She gets yelled at by this dude who just got back from the army because he thinks she's dressing sultry for the sole purpose of tempting all the men in in town.
Later, he sees her again, and she calls him out for being a jerk, claiming that she doesn't exist for men; she exists for herself.
Guys, Kurt Vonnegut addressed the problem of dateless guys complaining about hot girls who don't put out 60 years ago.
Is it bad that I almost always feel guilty for being too expensive around Christmas time?
Maybe it's just me being a dummy but the London trip's continuing to make me feel worse about asking for hundreds of dollars in SWAG or whatever.
Sigh. It's a bit of a weird conundrum-- either you ask for too much and get hella disappointed when you don't get 90% of it, or you ask for only a little and feel like you deserve more than that.

Well you could always drop off a toy for Toys for Tots
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TOYS FOR TOTS
and this explanation comes from the Gunny himself!
Me and the Gunny at a Toys for Tots event. I donated that telescope and I got to me meet and talk to THE GUNNY.
Anyway every single toy (not kidding, every single damn toy) donated to Toys for Tots finds itself to a needy child. It's something us Marines do on our own time, with no cost to the taxpayer. Every year, every single toy gets distributed. No overhead, no waste, no muss, no fuss. So I'd like to encourage you all to donate this year if you can.
...no toy guns or any toys that could be deemed as violent. We reject those. Needs to be a new toy, too!
Depends on the individual Gameboy, the purple one is almost wholly broken, whatever component(s) ran its sound have long sinced burned out, and the thing freezes up a lot. Most of them might as well be new, though.

Usually the most damaged bit on those old handhelds is the screen but replacement screens are now a dime a dozen. Hell, I was able to find a brand new aftermarket screen for my Sega Nomad.
Now are we talking about Gameboy Advances here, or Color, or the original?

Regarding tea in America:
It's not impossible to find good teas, but the good European flavors are practically non-existent. You have to go online to get a lot of that stuff. My wife gets some of her friends back in England to mail her Twinings. The Twinings we have in America are pretty shit in comparison.

I had no idea about this
My tin of Twinings darjeeling says it's a product of England, but it's a tin of loose tea and not the bagged stuff

"Twinings of London" is...OK, but it's not the same as regular Twinings.
The shitty part is, even U.K. specialty stores don't often carry actual Twinings because people don't realize it's different from what they can get at their local super market.
I have to go to work with a hangover the size of Lake Michigan and a dead leg.
B vitamins will help clear that right up, better than those goofy hangover cures that every culture has
a large part of your uggh feeling is a deficiency in B vitamins in your body (the deficiency of water is the big one of course.) A few years ago in the service I was able to rebound after a 12 pack with a glass of water before bed and some b-vitamins and be ready for a formation run about six hours later

Yeah I only buy loose tea in tins. Here in America that's the only way you know you're getting any sort of quality.

Say what you will about unions, but as long as someone's doing something to eat away at this Black Friday nonsense I'm just gonna sit over here with a smug smile.
From what I've heard, Wal-Mart treats their employees like crap most of the time anyway; I imagine Black Friday only makes it worse.

You know what I'm glad electronics manufacturers seem to have finally taken the hint on? Those power adapters that end in a bloody huge cube that won't fit properly into any power strip.
It seems like the favored method nowadays is to have the box in the middle with just a regular power cord running to the wall.
(I imagine they embraced this once they realized they could reduce the apparent size of things like cable boxes and video game consoles by using these things instead of internal power supplies.)

Me too.
Another thing I'm glad electronics companies picked up on: standardizing on Micro-USB for cell phone and mobile device chargers. No more of this running around the house trying to find which of the six cell phone chargers happens to fit your Motorola or LG.
(The iPhone still uses proprietary crap, but hey, Apples gonna App.)

I find it kind of endearing that people are still making jokes about Clippy a decade after he was retired. I guess he left a lasting impression on us!
Also it would have been funnier if that second word balloon was phrased as "Where do you want to go today?", since that was Microsoft's slogan in the mid-90s, around the time Clippy was introduced.

And vampires are totally overrated. In my humble opinion FACT

>the scariest
ahahahaha you poor thing
let me tell you
about scary video games
The only game I've ever played on RPGMaker that genuinely scared me was .flow.
That is a scary game.

I remember him being less annoying and sometimes playing dead, like he'd "crash" and fall to the ground
Also he had a separate window to himself
