He's worse than Arthur Chu. He's the exact type of person that should be driven away from respectable public forums (aside from the abusive or the harmful) for the sheer hypocritical awfulness of outlook, work product, and inability to be better.

Devin Faraci is a gimungous shitbag. Now I understand why QuickTidal won't have a thing to do with any product/writing of his.

Yep, he's literally one of the worst humans I've ever encountered online.

Speaking of PUA types, Scott Adams also said hella dumb stuff on the Internet today.



Maybe Arthur Chu, Scott Adams, and this Devin Faraci guy should have a live debate on the major issues of the day.

I'm aghast at this idea because every one of the three would totally do this on a public access channel in NYC. It would be abysmal and yet so ripe for mocking.

Sorry to eat up this thread today. It's just one of those days.

Also having one of those. It'll pass *hug*.

The very idea of dating sites terrifies me. Mind you, that's probably because the only stories I hear from women I'm acquainted with who've met people through them vary from hilariously bad to a little bit scary. Having said that I think a lot of them were using Tinder.

No overtime pay for the extra hours I did in June. Contacted payroll - no record of my overtime sheets.

I don't work for fucking free.

My hamster died.

I am doubly sad because I really only spent some time with him a week ago when I last cleaned his cage, barring that I have just been feeding him and giving him a few minutes each day. Thinking about that I went to go check on him now and give him some treats if he was awake. Instead I found him dead. I was expecting it. he is over 2 and half years old but it makes me sad. He used to like eating from my hand or running around on it but lately not so much and for the longest time I have felt guilty that you can't really tell if a hamster is happy. I hope it was painless.

There is a dating site out there that matches people based on how much they love bacon. It is your duty to use this service and report back to us in exact detail on how it all goes. For our entertainment science, obviously.

Was hoping to get 18 holes of golf in tomorrow afternoon but my shoulders in bits and I can't figure out when or where or how I did the damage. It doesn't feel like something a night's sleep.will cure

So I started the great job hunt and I would love to say hey that's me, or omg I got this...or that sounds like something I am passionate about....but

but all this shit seems so foreign. Chatted with my bro and my friends..and they were like oh yeah that's normal!!!

I admit been a moment since a new gig. I do sales..so I should have more confidence..

not sure where confidence is hiding...bueller bueller.

Everything seems complicated.

(On the flipside: I hate my job x 1000..im done)

***Ok maybe today is just about figuring out resume and letter of interest.. 1x step/time.

So I couldn't really post this yesterday because of the levels of fatigue!
So it's a post event rant.

I drove from Italy to Newcastle yesterday.
The first leg of journey from Faenza to Calais went without a hitch, it was perfect. I done 850 miles in 11.5 hrs.
No traffic, no stoppages of any kind.
No border control (I didn't even see one French police car the whole time despite the supposed heightened security!) in Switzerland or France.
So yeah. Perfect.

When I got to England however, I spent nearly 4 hours on the M25 and in 9 hours, I only covered 350 miles.
I was ready to die by this point, I'd been awake and driving since 10pm the previous night (I got into England at noon) and it only got worse as I 'crept' up the country negotiating my way through one pocket of traffic after another.
I didn't get home until 21.30. That's 22 hours on the road without sleep.

I was fucked last night.

South of England has the worst traffic I've ever known.
It's was horrendous.

[Macros]

The fucking weather again.
How in under fuck can it still be raining this fucking heavily every fucking day.
We had the combine out, everything ready to go and then bang, another fucking downpour.
Going to be another grim fucking harvest

It's all you needed to say. No context.

People on motorcycles listening to a radio . There's no way they can hear through the speakers while they're driving a big Harley. If they paid for that upgrade to listen for 30 seconds at a stoplight I want to punch them in the face.

I kinda love that this bothers you enough to complain about it, granted it does seem ridiculous, but why does it bother you? I tell you what though I'd be terrified to get on the back of a motorcycle, especially anywhere where traffic is moving at speeds greater than about 5 mph! And doubly so if the driver was listening to music, I think I'd have a heart attack, frankly. I mean don't get me wrong I like the idea of motorbikes, I defy anyone to think that a proper Harley isn't the fucking epitome of cool, but I know in practice there's no way in hell I could ever get on one - god I don't even intend to learn to drive at all, I am soooooo accident prone and I cannot afford a few years in jail for vehicular manslaughter, or ya know, death :/ It's ironic though because more than once I've had random strangers tell me I have a 'biker' look, I guess with the clothes I wear it's to be expected but Combat Boots, jeans, leather jackets and patches are hardly exclusive to bikers and pretty much par for the course on the Metal Head scene. Been awhile since I heard that one in the street though, the most popular one - which I get EVERY SINGLE DAY! - is that I look like Jesus - to which I usually reply that Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, and thus would have looked nothing like this pasty white guy! Had a drunk guy insist I was Jesus once, then ask me for money, so I told him I had no money to give but I could offer absolution for his sins. He didn't stick around lol

As for dating sites, I can honestly say that I don't know anyone who has ever actually told me they've used them, admittedly my social circle is not too wide, but from personal experience I always wonder at just how big a business it is. Me and my brother Dylan once signed our brother Ross up for eHarmony with his email, back when he was like 16. We said he was like 30, looking for red-haired, green-eyed, Chinese women; think we put his employment down as Space Cowboy. He got so many damn emails from eHarmony, unsurprisingly though, no real results

The only time I wish I had a gun is when uninvited guests invite themselves to Sunday lunch. Now I am in the mood for high powered rifles and telescopic sights

Wouldn't they notice the sniper rifle across the table? Garrote in the hallway much quieter, easier to pull off

EDIT: Not sure what I've done to my finger, but it has swollen to about twice it's usual size from the knuckle up about half way. It doesn't really hurt very much, itches ALOT, burns and makes my finger feel a bit numb sometimes. It's so swllen that bending it is a little painful, but nothing unbearable, mostly it's just impossible to ignore. Not sure how long to leave it before I decide to have it looked at (not that I'll have any chance of getting a GP appointment within a week I imagine), I mean I'm sure it's just a insect bite of some variety, but I can't say I've ever had one get so big and I am a consummate hypochondriac - so naturally I am running through lists of exotic infections in my head. My anxiety-ridden imagination cares nought for the fact that I've never been abroad and the furthest I've been from home in 2 years is Donnington for Download Festival this year.

All wound up waiting for this date. Not sure what will happen and it eats me up.
