"Apple, through its marketing and visual design techniques, is manufacturing an illusion that merely buying an Apple makes you part of an alternative community. But the technology they use is explicitly chosen to divide people into separate digital cells, and to position Apple as sole warden. When your business depends on people paying for the privilege of being locked up, the prison better look and feel luxurious, and the bars better not be too visible." - Free Software Foundation

Nice quote. laugh.gif

So, it's been decided by my Geology and Geography teacher that I'm not afraid to speak up and state the answers in class, so he's just going to call on me any time no one else answers (and I'm falling asleep).

Uh, nice to know I'm getting over my reservations about speaking in groups?

My boss is trying to change out florescent light rods. It's the funniest thing I've witnessed in a while. laugh.gif

Especially if he/she doesn't know to give the rods a quarter turn to lock them in, and then they fall out of the socket and go boom. Muahaha. Yes I'm terrible.

Awesome book too, hated the ending....*wants Lord Sunday* The many jokes of the powers of Sunday's key, that my friends and I have, will be more funny if it turns out to be true.

I don't have AIDS.

I have no reason to ever think I would have AIDS, but damnit if I can say that and know that someone, somewhere is having a helluva worse day than me.

That is the weirdest rave I've ever heard.
Doman2008-09-25 08:07:20
Well, to be fair, it is more of a rant. I've had a bad, stressful day. But I can honestly say, I don't have AIDS, so it COULD be worse, and it isn't
Ilyarin2008-09-25 08:09:29
It could be worse than AIDS. AIDS isn't the worst thing that could happen to you, by far.

I think Radiation poisoning is up there.

At that point, you basically just have the highest level of acute radiation poisoning.
Tervic2008-09-25 09:13:37
Let's throw in skin cancer and uh..... necrotizing fasciitis.... oh! And hemorrhagic fever! Always fun.

I prefer leprosy.

Not for myself, just sayin' .
Moiraine2008-09-25 10:01:48
The first time you dress up to go work at your new job as Barney the Dinosaur, and envision the paths your own future might take. That's gotta be worse than mere radiation.


Or maybe my friend who had both knees replaced in his early twenties because his arthritis caused them to disintegrate, and all the related issues he will always, always have.

Edit: Rave: I have knees. jumpfire.gif
