went on a date last night.
I don't go on dates very often and this is the first time I've went on a date with someone I really don't don't know. Its always been someone I already knew, or at least we had a load of common acquaintances. But anyway, she was a lovely girl, very talkative, which is good because (despite what some people here who have met me might think) I am generally quite a quiet person, and have no problem sitting in silence for long periods of time (I've been drunk at the bbqs and when I met morgy in oslo).
Absolutely beautiful blue eyes and a wonderful happy smile, and comes with impressive tracts of land.
we went out for dinner and a few drinks (I only had one as I was driving) and got one fairly well, although her love of soaps and insistence that the acting in them was excellent was somewhat baffling.
But there was something niggling me at the back of my head the whole way home after I had dropped her off, I couldn't figure it out until this morning.

Her smile, eyes and general mannerisms are incredibly like one of my ex girlfriends (the one that broke up with me, much to my dismay at the time) and I got to thinking then about (once I had done the whole shaking my fist at the sky and moping over her for a year) how we weren't overly compatible in the long run because of our differences. I think this girl may have a similar set of differences from me (and strikes me as quite a girly girl, I'd much rather a tomboy type). Is there any real point in seeing her again? am I being too hasty in this judgement?

Yeah, give it another shot!

I find it amusing that you'd describe yourself as a quiet person. I guess we need to meet up again as my memories of you do not entirely fit that description

As long as it didn't pass the Turing test we can all sleep soundly tonight. I still worry about nanobots though.

Nanobots are the future and our friends.

That's what Neville Chamberlain said about Nazi Germany.

Or maybe he didn't. But he might have if they'd have had sentient blood nanobots in 1939. History is full of speculation.

I believe I have heard such a claim before, yes.

Isn't someone here from Mississauga? Check in, please!

Just heard it on the radio

[Tsundoku]

Just did a search: it's Ment. And he was on ... almost 5 hours ago. Should be OK then.

Yeah, I was at home, naturally (for a Thur night)

I do know that plaza. We often stop at the Montana's there for a few beers after our soccer games.

Disturbing news, to say the least

Glad you're OK Ment.

[QuickTidal]

Seems like the suspects are white (or at least fair skinned), which makes me think this could have been a targeted racist attack.

I also used to go to the Montanas in that plaza with co-workers as well (I worked about 4 minutes away back in the 2000's). Scary stuff! Hope they catch the bastards who did it, and that all the injured people recover.

The three in critical condition are now stable, and the other 12 have been treated and released, so no fatalities thank god.

There were fucking kids there at a birthday party, who does this shit. I've been to that Montana's too oddly enough. First the guy in the van in Toronto and now this, it's scary.
I've always felt safe in the GTA but in this last month with these two things it kinda freaks me out.

[Macros]

Sergio fucking Ramos
Again

Is he now lower than Pepe? Quite possibly

Even fucking Tiste will have to admit that Sergio Ramos is a fucking dirtbag.
He's the john Terry times ten of Spanish football

[Malankazooie]

Yeah man, that was outright dirty play, no arguing against it. And Liverpool's keeper too. Yeeesh, he better wear a disguise when he's out and about for a few months. I'm pissed off,

[Macros]

I would have been happy (realatively) to lose 1-0 to that goal from bale.
But the other two goals. Fuck me that's grim

Sick of seeing these "Free Tommy Robinson" petitions all over Facebook.

Reporting bans on serious court cases exist for a reason. He decided that didn't apply to him and broke said ban. Why is this worthy of any sympathy exactly?

[worry]

He should serve out his sentence proudly. English jails are for the English!

Owen Jones posted this:

about Tommy. I'd suggest blocking anyone who supports Tommy.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

It's the complete ignorance of why the reporting ban is in place that winds me up. If people want to hold idiotic opinions when given all the facts, then that is very much their lookout - but ignorance which is easily put right is no excuse at all.

Mind you, some of them did at least shut up when I pointed out how angry they should rightly be if the case collapsed because of the illegal reporting - given that these reporting bans are to prevent reporting prejudicing serious cases.
