Somehow, I think it's appropriate and poetic that Tom Clancy would die during a government shutdown.

I had the same thought.

RIP, Mr. Clancy. :(
Clancy, Clancy ... I vaguely remember the name. Who was?

Tom Clancy. Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Rainbow 6?
The guy who made Splinter Cell?

He made Splinter Cell like John Madden makes football games.

The Silk Road has apparently been taken out of commission.

Never used it myself, as I don't drugs, but I did like the idea of its existence. Hoping the Feds are overhyping as a scare tactic, and it'll return at some point.

This must be akin to why people get so nostalgic for "the Old West", even if that was mostly historical fiction. That sinking feeling you get as you watch frontiers shrink  :-\

Someone on reddit pointed out that there are some things off about that seizure picture - SR's logo in the background, wrong batches, low resolution... Maybe it's just gone iinto hiding, so to speak. A man can dream, can't he?

Tom Clancy pretty much covered all the feelings I can have about books, from "I can't stop reading" to "I want to stop reading, but I have nothing else at the moment". Sad to see him go though.

So two of my best friends broke up last Sunday. Well he broke up with her because they have both issues and he wants them to resolve them and be apart for a while before trying anything.

It's up to me to try and fix both of them and contain them as much as possible, something I'm rather bad at considering I've never been in a relationship and my views on certain things are rather different from what most people would consider normal. He seems to be taking it somewhat well (or he's atleast hiding it extremely well, the more probable answer), while she's constantly on the verge of tears and generally feeling shitty.

It doesn't help at all that they see each other almost daily since they're attending the same uni.

I just can't take all this shit and I feel bad for wanting to slap them both silly and thell them to sort this shit out themselves.

Spent all night in a resort hotel on vacation with my projectile vomiting five year old. Got to sleep at about 6:30am.

Well, suppose it had to happen sooner or later: Truck is having issues and needs repairs. Hopefully it's minor and I can be outta here later today. If not, well, at least there's a hotel nearby. Of course, they haven't even LOOKED at it yet, so...

If your group of friends was already deliberately excluding her, I don't think you're solely responsible for any tearing that might occur.
They weren't totally, but to some extent. But I can't help feeling crap.

I also have the issue that whilst my ex was incapable of taking the hint, my mates were equally incapable of telling her the problem. And I have no idea which side was right, because to me both are wrong. :(

Went through this, albeit instead of an ex it was my stupid-moronic 'still can't live without his bastardry around' brother I have.
He's an arrogant asshole. He's a pathetic individual who needs to be repeatedly hit with a baseball bat filled with rusty nails, but he's also a normal chivalric imbecile and an easy to dupe stupid.

Yep, normal brotherhood right there.

D&D team I was mastering broke up because after two new guys joined up, they basically formed a 'Friday' team opposed to my 'Saturday' team and they simply avoided inviting my brother because they didn't like how he played.
In the end nobody came any more to the Saturday day team because of my brother, there was a bit of a fight which ended with them no longer speaking to one another and in the end everyone went their way -the two new guys left to go somewhere else at the end of the summer to boot- and so basically my brother found a new group, I stopped Saturday mastering, and basically the old group broke because my brother couldn't for once swallow his stupid arrogance and admit he was wrong and a bastard.

On the other hand, the two guys were pathetic excuses of a boyfriend-girlfriend couple who believed they were always right and where the boy did nothing but leech off neurons while the girl kept acting on the preconcept that she could simply 'always' be right.
...
Basically, my brother had no hair on his tongue and spoke his mind.
Cue trying to act like normal adults -failing miserably because to be defined a 'normal' adult one has to at least possess some amount of brain- and tantrum falling ensued.

I'm happy now though.

The friends I have might be from around the web, I might barely see someone in flesh and bones in weeks but...'some people need only themselves'. With a pc, I have the frigging god-damn world at my fingertips.


PS: if someone ever feels down about being 'alone' being 'out of touch with people' and the like, send me a pm. I should be a borderline suicide case because of half the shit that happened to me and yeeeettttt...
Nope.

A family member has been going through a midlife-crisis type of situation for a few years, now. It's been getting increasingly awkward, and is reaching the boiling point. There is no way this is going to end well.

I seem to have some infection on my little finger where the fingernail separated from the finger a little bit.
Tis painful.
Should probably start DIY treatment soon.

Of course, this is a fellow who's done work on movies and games. 'Course it's gonna be expensive.

Still sad, though. 10K for a smaller size, 20K for a larger.

I have a friend with a really bad cough and his mum won't even allow him to go to the GPs to get it checked out. It's been almost a month now :/
