Be thankful for that. We sure did, or at least those of us who pay attention to politics did.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

School starts on Tuesday, and I have this homework project that I've been putting off for the entire summer and now I have to finish it in two days, but the internet is distracting me...

I got a copy of TtH the other day and its dimensions are slightly larger than all my other books. It's distressing.

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.

It's awesome, works great as a door (or window) stopper!
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.

We sure do! Here's an example of getting hot running water in Poland. It often is the only way.

Last day at work before a two-week holiday, and stress.
Everyone is ranting and raving how they are unsure they can manage the stuff I do on a daily basis and have handed over for the next two weeks, despite me taking care to spread it over 4 people instead of piling it all on just one unlucky SoB, and yet the fucking morons I work with do not let me work on the big important stuff they rant and rave about, despite the obvious fact that this would make their work for the next two weeks easier, but instead bother me with fucking inconsequential things they should ask a secretary, or know as a secretary.

Chamberpots? Throwing it OUTSIDE? Good Lord, sir, that's some good ideas there! I've got to tell my friends... no more poop in the living/bed/wash/kitchen-room!

Airports. If they need X hours to make sure none of the passengers blow up the plane, at least make sure I can spend that time somewhere silent and comfortable, please, rather than stuck between a grossly fat lady in striped leggings and an escalator belt with automatic loud warning to mind your step.

2 of my classes were moved to different lecture halls without notice. And by without notice, this is the sort of Hitchhikers guide notice. The campus information system (which is unwieldy and nearly impossible to log on to from off campus) had the correct room listings, but you wouldn't have known to go looking for it.

That sucks Boney. My roommate for 2 years was an overweight asthmatic epileptic. You've never seen bad luck till you've seen an asthma attack set off a seizure.
