also why do people think they can flee to Mexico? Mexico will arrest you and ship you right back to America.
because they think it's a lawless shithole

the only thing the media up here talks about in mexico is drug cartels running rampant

The worldview of the people who're successful in the program depends on its truth and worth. If the program worked for them, it was because they needed something like it to look up to as an infallible guide and authority. Admitting that it isn't perfect would be admitting that the beliefs that keep them from drinking are wrong. So if the program is the ultimate cure, then if someone fails the problem must lie with that person.

I'm not siding with them, which I hope is obvious, but it's not a terribly surprising excuse. It's the same thing faith healers, psychics, and so many other things prey on (especially when the person or group taking advantage buys into their own hype).

Truthiness is an important concept in programming. This makes me happy.

Ah. Okay, yes. If you have confirmation that she's angry at you, then, yes, not talking to her is the best thing you can do. My bad, I misunderstood. The ultimate goal there is to find somebody to care about that won't tear you up inside, but that is easier said than done and all that. My condolences, buddy.

My brother is letting me borrow his copy of MGSV. I'm rather excited to try it.
Video game dog of the year 2015.
I hear you're talking shit about Lesser Dog?

the worst thing you could possibly do for your chances is to hide in a corner and never approach her

sure, it means you'll never have confirmation that your chances are 0, and can therefore hope that they're not, but trust me - unless you take steps to make your hopes known, you can hardly expect them to be realized by the people they depend on

something something you'll never make any of the shots you don't try to make something something dark side

edit: there is such a thing as being too blunt, but seriously, starting up a conversation and treating her like a friend should be basically fine

Overall, disappointing. I never found the opportunity to spend much time with my niece, between work and being exhausted when I'm not working - I've generally been unable to enjoy any family time, in fact. I never figured out an alternative goal for Number 3. Also, turns out my copy of the Aeneid is in Latin. Oops. I started Plato's dialogues instead, but only got about halfway through it. It's also a much longer book, but still not satisfied enough to cross it off. I failed to make myself watch a new computer science course, unfortunately, and I haven't got a good excuse for that. Must work harder. I got through a big chunk of an Introduction to LISP, but I never finished it or did any coding, so I can hardly claim to be proficient. Cooking got even worse after the Fall semester started, for no discernible reason, as did the shaving.

Not the best results, and with Vector gone someone else will have to step up to make another one of these.

Yes, in the sense that you're still on the road home even after you've driven past it into the next state over.

In other news, my senseless unplugging of an external HD has proven recoverable-from.

So, basically the plot of Dishonored, only done well?

So then I slept for 13 hours. Drugs are a hell of a drug. Last night I was on oxycodone, fentanyl, and I think tramadol; the last one I'm not sure on the name of but it was definitely a drug that had a side effect of relaxing the ureter and that's what I turned out to need.

I demand pics one the thing has passed. This stone must go down in B12 history as the largest stone birthed by a man here.
it's 2 millimeters, bub, i'm sure there's at least one other forum member who's had worse

it just managed to get itself stuck somehow, but not by virtue of size

Glad it's gone, at least?
the pain of that magnitude, yeah, but the stone's still there and it's hurting again now, just not so badly

fentanyl is a hell of a drug

which makes it all the scarier when you get a dose (on top of 10 mg of oxycodone) and your pain remains the worst you've ever had

and then it continues to get worse the longer you're getting iv saline

fortunately they finally figured out the stone had got stuck and gave me a drug that dilates the ureters but jegus
