PACIFIC RIM

OH MY GOD PACIFIC RIM

I like how this is the most common reaction I've seen to the film. Says many good things

Would be nice to not kill everyone for once, though :[

Well, you could always just surrender like Joz said.  That would permit you to end the chapter without killing anyone. 

That might happen, but preferably neither side will surrender and we can sort this mess out without any "losers"

What kind of school?

Some stupid-ass person nearly got herself killed by me today.

I'm cruising down the freeway at a safe, decent speed and this lady in a pickup starts to merge onto the freeway ahead of me. She's going faster than I am and ahead of me, so she's totally fine.

Until, at least, she decides that somehow she's not going to make it and hits the brakes while riding the line between he right lane (where I am) and the shoulder, leaving no room on either side. The lane to my left has cars in it, so I can't move over. My only option is to hit the brakes, and I still would have ran her over if she hadn't grown some brains and went back to the shoulder, out of my way.

If that wasn't enough, not five minutes later I got a message from Safety Department; the truck had signalled that I had done some emergency braking and they wanted to know what happened. Thankfully, all I got was a reminder to be a little more careful next time.

And we're back. What the heck happened? I just kept getting a database error message for 20 minutes it seems.

Pretty sure it was longer than that. And things still seem a bit sluggish.

I think I have one alcoholic drink a year, at most. I'm not terribly fond of the taste (though one drink was actually really good) and the appeal of getting drunk is completely alien for me.

my friendly neighborhood goddess, it's pretty much an universal statement that once you start liking the taste of alcohol you should stop what you're doing and seriously think over a few things in your life (you know, unless it's one of these drinks that some people claim are unmanly in which case carry on i guess?)

Wait, what? You mean people don't drink because they like the taste?

As far as being unmanly goes...It was probably pretty unmanly. Some sort of blackberry margarita thingy. I happen to like fruity beverages.

Would indeed be fun, even though I've never actually played before so I would likely lose. I only have one IRL friend interested in 40k and he's more into the lore than the tabletop.

So, Internet high-fives all around?
