yamamanamaNice to see that Chris Muir is openly pimping Vox Day. Second panel is just quoting a post by Vox Day and a very obvious stock photograph of a car ran through about ten photoshop filters. It's good to see his art still sucks Donkey's kong.

I actually wrote some of this a while back. To put things in context, in their infinite wisdom, Google decided nobody actually neede blog searches and discussion searches. Supposedly the specialized searches are programmed to appear when they might be relevant, but after searching for "gank," "central african republic," "sara de chirolo," "nadja," "damien hirst," "only forward," "andre breton," and "making salt with sunshine," I could elicit neither blog searches nor discussion searches. In fact, the only thing that really happens is that shopping, videos, news, and maps switch around. Like, if I search for Nadja, I get "web, images, videos, books, news." and if I search for Central African Republic, I get "web, news, images, maps, videos." Books doesn't show up when I search for "only forward." I think that's what they need by relevancy. More detailed searches tend to result in captchas. It's not okay.
It's amazing how your perspectives change as time goes on. No, I still think he's a self-serving, arrogant, manipulative bastard with delusions of grandeur. No, I'm still not over several friendships getting ruined.
A few years back, Hyde sent me a message telling me to jump off a cliff and stop pissing people off, and that Grace talked to him and Miyomi about me.
I mean, maybe I was a little rude when I messaged him in the first place.
Okay, I was a little rude. If you're wondering, I asked him if he finally realized that too much drama is never a good thing and if he deleted his "shithouse of a post." On the other hand, I don't remember my interaction with Grace at all.
That's not the point of this story.
I not only wasn't friends with him at the time, but I'm pretty sure I was never friends with him. Can't do that today. I think what happened some techies realized they weren't getting paid to play foozball all day and thus the other folder was born.
I won't go into detail on how this happened. In fact, there was a quite lengthy period of time where I wasn't able to use Facebook at all, due to being on an older OS(1).
I think this is also when Facebook turned into a hangout for those people who like to propagate those pesky chain letters/Republican Party propaganda.
I'm trying to find something someone wrote about how Facebook turned social networking from meeting people with common interests to keeping in touch with people you already know, and I think I might delay this post by a day or two. Or more accurately, I'll just say "fuck it."
That's the price of an open internet, and as I've learned with Sara, a price I'd gladly pay. I'll take the threats. I'll take the spambots hawking pills that are just as likely to cause my hair to fall out as they are to fix erectile dysfunction.
(1): For this reason, I also have about twelve hundred unread e-mails and quite frankly, I can't be fucked to do anything about it.

You came here for animals, though.
Chickens can take a lot of abuse. Some skin was ripped off of a hen and she's just strutting around like "eh, whatever."
A bantam rooster was freaking out over a manicure. It smelled like burning hair afterwards. That makes sense, after all, their nails are keratin. Said bantam rooster was attacked by a turkey once, and half of his face is messed up. I think there was something fermenting in his throat, probably yeast.
I caught a glimpse of the first baby raccoons of the season.
A guinea pig got his teeth trimmed (his incisors were a bit overlong and one of his premolars was growing out in a strange way and blocked the tongue. Atropine slows the heart and stops the parasympathetic nervous system, which affects things like sex and eating, and stops the guinea pig from producing saliva when there's stuff in his mouth. It's one of the main ingredients of datura, and can cause vivid hallucinations. It doesn't affect people who have heart transplants, because the nerve is severed. Since these rarely, if ever, happen on guinea pigs and bunnies, we really don't concern ourselves with those things.
There's evidence that ebola is zoonotic, so I guess the moral of the story is don't eat apes. This isn't people feeding their families on what meat's out there, this is a multimillion dollar industry.
Christina said if you're having a really bad day, you probably don't want to be called "shim." I rephrased that into a statement rather than a question. If I wasn't asking something about thorns and if Christina made a matter-of-fact statement about insulting rabbits by not knowing what sex they are, I'd rephrase it as a question. The rabbit's urethra was covered in a tumor so large none of us could tell what sex it was, or from whence the tumor originated. It's just too bad we don't speak a language like Hungarian or Malagasy or spoken but not written Chinese.
burning question: Aries is represented by thorn-bearing trees. Is that why Hassaleh is covered in them? I know Hassaleh is in Auriga, not Aries, I guess they're fairly close, but Sheratan and Botein are.
It's funny. Nusakan sounds like a demonym.
