  1. They have at least 10-15 reasons to put the entire surly population in the asylum.
  2. My wife has a college friend whose life is a complete wreck. One of her feet started hurting about 4 years ago, and her health just went into a nosedive. When she went to the podiatrist, the elevator door malfunctioned and her crushed other foot. At first she was still able to get around on crutches, but something else happened and the only way for her to get around was to crawl. Somehow that caused vertigo so she even stopped doing that. Her husband's a piece of shit who isn't taking care of her or their kid (currently in kinder). He's not out drinking or whoring around, but he's completely checked out of his marriage and responsibility as a dad, leaving the kid doing whatever until after midnight. The kid hardly spent any time outdoors until he went to TK because mom couldn't leave the house, and dad didn't want to take him either. Wife's friend thinks she's a terrible mother, and tries to do stuff for the kid, but any time she tries to do something, she gets hurt even more. When my wife visited her today, her friend was wearing a neck brace because she mysteriously injured it, her right hand was hurting, she wore depends because her POS husband isn't around to take her to the toilet, and she shaved her because there's no way for her to reach up and wash. In the past year, she moved in with her dad because she needed to focus on her health, and not be weighed down with worry and depression. But her dad is also a POS and not taking care of her daughter. Her in-laws are in town, and will take care of the kid only if needed, but aren't thrilled with him spending any more time with him. Also, my wife comes from a family of hoarders, so she knows clutter. So when she said she couldn't stand the clutter at her friend's house, I can't even imagine what that looks like. Anyway, my unsolicited advice, if I saw her, would be to get herself to a place where she could recover, do some physical and emotional therapy, and go back to being a great mom after she's healthy. I'd also be tempted to just call CPS and have the kid taken away. I know it sounds terrible, but not having to worry about taking care of the kid 24/7 might give her time to heal her body, or at least not make it worse. I don't know what happens to a kid once CPS steps in, so I'm just spitballing here, but a few months/years in a foster home might even be better than seeing his mom like this and dad not giving a shit. But what do I know, I'm just a judgmental asshole who thinks my shit doesn't stink.
  3. This is the wallpaper on my computer. So it hits close to home.
  4. Re the Russian offensive that military intelligence is talking about... What are the Russians going to attack with? They've lost thousands of tanks and are bringing T-64s to a Leopard 2 fight. They're short on artillery rounds, and their conscripts are not well trained. Are they going with waves and waves of infantry? That probably worked during WW2, but I just don't see that strategy being effective since they are short on artillery rounds, while the Ukrainians still getting fresh rounds from US and Europe. Someone tell me why there is so much concern.
  5. You’re such an asshole for body shaming such a disgusting looking woman.
  6. My $328 gas bill. We replaced the windows 3 years ago, and keep the house at 68 degrees. Granted it’s been in the low 40s for most of the past month (cold by SoCal standards), but this ain’t right.
  7. Why anyone buys anything other than Thin Mints and Lemonades bottles my mind.
  8. I see your trash can and raise you a deer.
  9. 1. I write in bullet points. 2. Actually I prefer numbers over bullets. 3. Using bullets drives me crazy. 4. If I hear “go to bullet point…” I will flip out 5. Am I being clear? 6. No? Then get out because you’re a wasting my time.
  10. Because sooner or later people are going to be having sex in those rooms, and the poor cleaning person will be wiping jizz off the walls, carpet and sofa. Edit: Shoot, too late. 2 other people had their heads in the gutter before me.
  11. What if you were fighting a møøse (who bit your sister) in deep water?
  12. It's like a Tarantino movie with weird timelines and crazy fight scenes, but the ending tied it all together. Now I want to buy googly eyes and stick them everywhere.
  13. Why do people in the back of the plane automatically stand up when the seatbelt light goes off? Not just the people in the aisle, but people in the middle and window seats as well… Do they just like standing up stooped over at an odd angle?
  14. I was born year of Tiger. Kill the wabbit.
  15. I took a long nap earlier and can’t fall asleep. Now I’m listening to my wife snore her ass off and definitely can’t fall asleep.
  16. My son is decently smart, so I applied for him to be in the APL (Applied Primary Learner) program. Whether they get in is heavily based on what their teacher thinks. We were pretty confident because he got all As on his report card, except for art, which according to him is not a real subject because “you don’t learn anything.” We applied for my daughter to be in the GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) program. We applied for it “just because”. We didn’t think she’d get in, but were surprised when she was accepted. According to a standardized test, she was in the 98th percentile in the state. I couldn’t be prouder of both my kids, but like a good Asian parent, I looked them in the eyes and said
  17. Throughout high school, I never have myself enough to eat breakfast and take a dump in the morning, so I’d get breakfast from the kitchen and eat while taking a morning dump. Every single weekday for almost 3 years of my life. Probably explains 5% of what is wrong with me.
  18. Watch the video I quoted. Towards the end, it looks like the guy’s head was blown off.
  19. Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve. I ordered a Peking duck this afternoon for pickup at 5:15. We got here at 5:30 and they say it won’t be ready until 6:00. It’s a madhouse. Rookie mistake. I should have ordered it ASAP, picked it up and reheated it.
