Speak for yourself, I'm a British person who starts off as a medium to dark brown and then goes jet black :blink:

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Thank you for answering a question I've been to white and middle class to dare ask. Or, wait, was that a joke?

...fuck it, do black people get a tan? And do they get sunburns, like Irish people?

An yes black people do get a tan in the respect that they get darker and yes they get sunburn. However its not a 'why not zoidberg' kind of shade and depends entirely on the person. I distinctly remember a friend of mine who was black playing football with his top off with me and a few others and the next day being sore as balls. Its depends entirely on the person.

He was from Durbin in South Africa and he was scorched by Britains elusive but harsh solar mistress.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Care to share some of that rain? It's supposed to get 35°C here today, and for a good part of the coming week and I'm really, really, really fed up with sunshine and heat and summer in general.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Family. Family. FAMILY! :blink:

Also, stupidity..

Puck: Can I use the washing machine? Or do you need it?
Mom's personal dumbass: If you absolutely need to.. *makes indignant face*
Puck: I'm going to get my laundry.
...
Ten minutes later.. Puck comes back, the washing machine's on, with about three or four pieces of clothing inside..
Puck: The f***? Did I just ask you if I can use the machine?
Mom's personal dumbass: Not my fault if you're too slow..

..seriously, the fuck?!

While Dumbass was lying around in the sun, I was ta work both on Saturday and on Sunday.. *sigh* I pray for the day I can move out and never come back. Ever.

Stress.

I deal with projects with unrealistic deadlines all the time, but the latest is on its way to giving me an ulcer. The first project meeting with the boss went something along the lines of "here, solve this really freaking complex issue that someone else has been looking at for more than two years. Your solution has to be cheaper than the one they came up with and is going to involve a pile of things you haven't dealt with in ages. You have a month to work on this. Oh, and by the way, you still have to finish all the other stuff on your desk."

2nd project meeting, with the client this time and not the boss, went along the lines of "hmm, I kind of like some of the things you have done here, not quite so sure about the others. Oh, and hey, the people here we didn't think it was worth introducing you to until the end of the meeting are the ones who gave us the first solution and are reknowned experts in the field. Don't forget, you have less than a week to come up with the solution."

Followed with the text from my boss essentially saying this project could take the business to the next level.

The combination of those leaves me both stressed and PO'd at my boss who has severely underestimated the time required to come up with any realistic solution.
