As for the two-minute preview, Uncle Grandpa is Patrick Starr? Except a de-evolved form, like how Patrick is a de-evolved form of Soos from Gravity Falls?
I giggled at the "this isn't canon. But this is!" -pulls cannon out of pants- joke.
Current Status of The Crystal: Realizing and being sad about the fact that, if I could divide my attention better while doing stuff, I could be really freaking well-acquainted with music. Not entirely sure why I'm so randomly blah about this, but there you go.
Like, maybe even as familiar with music as someone like Section, which would be nicer. Technically more fitting for the Emotions thread or my Personal thread, except this hits something of a middle ground and I'm not done with the FTL write-ups for the latter, so there's that.
At least it's easier to do since my sleeping and sleeping schedule has somewhat improved, even if it's nowhere near perfect (and still hard to do when tired).
It doesn't feel so very bad now: I think the end is the start. Begin to feel very glad now: ALL THINGS ARE A PART ALL THINGS ARE APART ALL THINGS ARE A PART.
Man I've endured a lot of bullshit on Tumblr but for whatever reason the one thing I genuinely can't handle to the point of, like, shutting down is GamerGate sympathizers.
The best thing to do in this case is report and block. they're no more in the right than neo-Nazis or the KKK are.

I find it amusing that Ohio State now has not one, but TWO cloud storage subscriptions they offer to students: "BuckeyeBox" (a branded version of Box.com) and Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

Renaming Lync "Skype for Business": because Microsoft's branding just wasn't confusing enough before.
In 1995, Vitol secretly supplied Slobodan Milošević's government with oil.[18] The Observer revealed in 2001 that Vitol paid 1 million pounds to Serbian war criminal Željko Ražnatović to settle an oil deal with Milošević.[19] Vitol has denied all charges, arguing that no government agency has ever prosecuted the company in this respect.[20]
In 2007, Vitol pleaded guilty to grand larceny in a New York court for paying surcharges to Iraq's national oil company during Saddam's regime and circumventing the UN oil-for-food program. Vitol subsequently paid $17.5 million in restitution for its actions.[21]
Vitol was the company to organise the first controversial sale of Libyan rebel oil to Tesoro Corporation in early April 2011.[22] According to the Financial Times, the company was approached by the Qatari national oil company to sell a cargo of crude oil supplied by the Libyans in exchange for technological supplies and fuel for the National Transitional Council of Libya.[23]
In September 2012, Reuters revealed that the company had bought and sold Iranian fuel oil, bypassing an EU embargo against Tehran. Vitol bought 2 million barrels using a ship-to-ship transfer off the coast of Malaysia from a National Iranian Tanker Company vessel and sold it to Chinese traders. Being based in Switzerland, which did not implement Western sanctions, Vitol skirted the charges.[24]
In 2013, it was revealed that the company had been using for over a decade an Employee Benefit Trust, avoiding paying income tax for its UK staff.[25]
Additionally, Vitol is known for lobbying and for substantial donations to the Tory party. Also, for substantial donations and lobbying on behalf of the "Better together" campaign to keep England and Scotland together. Also, involved in shale fracking in America and Scotland, or at least lobbying on behalf of said fracking; which has nothing to do with how they are the world's largest energy trader.
Note that Vitol is a swiss-based company and a london based company and a U.S. based company and what the heck is this mess??!! Look at all these subsidies!
At least Glencore, whose founder once owned Trafigura, lists a plausible number of employees.
Glencofre, Trafigura, Vitol. Swiss energy traders with major controversies and proven fraud. All having illegal stuff involving the oil-for-food thing.

I have that, actually. Surprisingly good investment.

Can honestly say I wasn't expecting the disco influences.
How do you guys survive sporting events?
This is probably a good thing.
