What is it you do bastardo?

[Bastardo]

Mindless office work, right now.

[Omid-]

How the hell do you even communicate with those people?

[Bastardo]

Italian with Italian speakers and English with everyone else.

Outside of work, I point at things and say "ovo" which means "this", I believe.

[MikeLitoris]

KGS just kidding I don't hate it. TBH I think the song is meh. I'm not sure what to make out of lyrics, they're very weird and I'd even dare to say awkwardly written. You can interpret it however you want to tho.

Bastardo didn't you say you're working in a factory where you do physical work? I think it was you who said it when I recommended you should exercise and you said you get enough exercise at a job. And I don't think you get much exercise by working in office

[Bastardo]

Nah, I get tired in factories because they're too big and you have to walk around in them, not because I do physically taxing jobs.

[MikeLitoris]

So you work in a factory in an office where you walk around a lot, which makes you tired. HMMMMMMMM...

[Maladiq]

I always wondered. If you encrypt your archives with random 128 bits passwords. is it safe from cracking? Afaik it would take forever to do a brute-force attack on them.

[Zeri0n]

@KGS, I like that song

@Bastardo, yup, "ovo" means "this"... Hah, just now I imagined you as some fat and spoiled brat showing at things and saying "I want this, this and this" xD (Don't get offended, it just flew through my mind because of the walking part and pointing part )

[Maladiq]

The power of choice. Democracy.

And yes, this is a kinda extreme example, but I reckon all elections are between a douche and a turd.

[Bastardo]

Everything is under control of the extremely rich. Presidents and such probably couldn't accomplish half the shit they promise even if they wanted to. But yeah, American democracy is even more of a farce than the default.

[Hellbilly]

But yeah, American democracy is even more of a farce than the default.

Honestly, I think any two-party democracy is a farce.

IMO, I don't think the biggest problem is rich people owning politicians, I think it's the lack of transparency. In the end, there are more poor people than rich people, and if the poor people who also have one vote knew who're the biggest bitches of the rich guys, that'd be one big problem point solved already.

[Bastardo]

More snow. Love the cold, and it's not like it's almost April or anything.

#2. America Is Obsessed With the Idea of Guns, But Not the Reality

There is a fantastic chance that if you are trying to change someone's mind about guns by spouting a long list of statistics about gun violence or gun accidents or crimes thwarted by guns that you might as well be manipulating your butt cheeks to modulate your farts into a Skrillex track -- sure, it may impress a crowd at parties, but it won't change anyone's mind. This is what people who aren't from America, or who grew up somewhere like Portland or whatever, don't get: America's love of guns in most cases has nothing to do with actually using them.

"Please stop! I hate loud noises."

It's all about what they symbolize. And what they symbolize is God, and cocks. We weren't kidding about the firearms manufacturers catering to guys with gun dicks.
After all, taking away our guns is like asking us to get castrated, according to an Illinois state representative. If you don't own a gun, we're taking away your "man card," says Bushmaster. "I am never seen without both a gun and a beautiful woman," say the posters for all 24 James Bond movies.

Quite frankly, we're a little surprised that nobody sells that dick gun they had in From Dusk Till Dawn.

[Bild: 173250.jpg?v=1]
And disappointed.

Is that weird? Is it weird if we can't get an erection unless somebody is pointing a gun at us at the same time, like in Swordfish? Is there anything strange about what these guys are doing?
Or is it weirder that in large sections of America, we don't feel truly close to God unless we're strapped? For instance, did you hear that Arkansas passed a law specifically to allow concealed guns in church? Did you wonder why in the hell they went out of their way to draft that law and then pass it and publicize it? It wasn't over some famous church shooting or anything like that. It's because it appears there's a whole branch of Christianity where automatic pistols are part of the worship service. Search Google for "gun Bible" images, see what you find:

What, you guys don't remember the time Jesus turned water into pistols?

It's not exactly subtle -- the attorney general in Texas ran this ad during the election:

Texans for Greg Abbott

Is it really just those two things Americans should know? They should know how to use a toothbrush, too, right? And a computer? And since they're worried about the safety of their family, they're all presumably proficient in CPR ...
Meanwhile, the popular bumper sticker in rural parts of the USA is "God, Guns, and Country" ...

American Method

... or maybe it's "God, Guns, and Guts."

Or "God, Guns, and Glory."

Alliteration made our country great.

The point is, the third thing is actually unimportant, as long as God and guns are on there.

So yes, Mr. Grad Student Wearing a Fedora, please quote them some more statistics about per-capita gun violence in the USA versus Europe. We're sure that eventually you'll stumble across the magical set of numbers that convinces them to disavow their God. Perhaps while you're at it, you can offer to cut off their scrotum.

More snow. Love the cold, and it's not like it's almost April or anything.

Same here . Its especially nasty when you have to go outside and clean it for couple of hours. Feels even colder than it did when it was actual winter...

And yea, we can bitch about Murica all we want but fact stays, they're the most developed country in the world in economical and military sense. Its also an interesting fact that they save their own oil and import oil from middle-east. And since the price of oil is constantly going up you know how cunning they really are.

IMO politics and money corrupt people. They take away all the sanity, humanity and kindness in people. That's why there are very, VERY few decent politicians who actually care about people. Most are just egoistic old farts who only care about personal profit.

Here in Nis it just rained a little, was a cold in the morning, around 3 degrees, but now it's fine

QFT. That smiley would come in handy whenever I want to express that I became a spider and I will take no shit from anybody.

Yeah, to follow up on that; they're also big on the idea of freedom, but not with the reality.
