The only situations I can imagine that someone would order just a burger is that they walk in the door and decide that they are not in the mood for Chinese and just can't be bothered to go somewhere else, or maybe they are just really hungry for burgers but wanted to see tacky paper dragons and get a free fortune cookie.ThorSon's milkshake brings all the PF girls to the yard - Volcaniclastic

I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Re: What Are You Thinking About?
So through the latter part of my childhood my shoulders always got tingly and uncomfortable when I exercised and no one could tell me why. Apparently this falls into angina pectoris which may be a symptom of cardiovascular disease. It hasn't happened in years but it is slightly concerning.
Some people genuinely think Obama is a Muslum and because of this is supporting Islamic fundamentalists and this bothers me greatly for a number of reasons. On a related note I recently learned someone leans much farther right than I thought, and might be a bit whackier too. She thinks antibiotics have made viruses more resilient (which they have because people stop taking them and they develop resistance) but that this has lead to dead virus in vaccines being capable of spontaneously returning to life and making the person contract the sickness and then be capable of spreading it. A lot of things people say lately have me thinking " you know that doesn't sound quite right"
She also gave me the homosexuality is wrong speech (though seems to think I'm bi for some reason?) with the stipulation that Christians should be tolerant because tolerance and acceptance are not the same thing. Which actually sounds pretty progressive, though it had that undertone of scorn. Either way, she's not overtly hostile and she invites me to BBQs and has me babysit her kids so... plus I borrow her books. Meh.
Oh I almost forgot that Obama somehow pushing Islamic ideals in the U.S. while championing the fight for marriage equality, which is causing 'massive civil unrest'.
OH and all religions are essentially monotheistic because they all have a leader god that's more important than all others, this god is almost always male, and his son gets into some shit, so all religions are basically Christianity. Though, in her defense she did say Christianity might not be the one true path. I mean it's certainly skewed with a christian lens but it's not a terrible way to view other religions. The justification being that after Babel fell and language was divided the stories people had were scrambled from being translated and over time have altered into different religions. It's interesting but I'm afraid to argue with some inaccuracies or logical failures she has.Last edited by Corvus; 17 Jul 2014, 00:12.They moaned and squealed, and pressed their snouts to the earth.

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

There were so many things wrong in just this statement, it would take more of my time than I have (it be lunch) to point out them all.
When things like this happen, it reminds me that a little bit of information held by someone lacking the capacity or inclination to understand it is an infinately dangerous thing. (I'm not saying she's dumb, but rather that without the proper background knowledge or context to understand something...lets just say Jenny McCarthy and autism)
Science education FTW!

Ever read something that is so hinky but written in a way that makes it nigh impossible to critique?

CITATION NEEDED!!!
credible and proper citations, not unquoted references to books that I have to hunt down and pray are better cited or links to sites that the author may or may not agree with.Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

Re: What Are You Thinking About?
I need a way to stay awake overnight and then be alert enough to stay awake till the next night so I can get a good rest. Any ideas? Absolutely no harmful drugs though, preferable natural stuff or minor OTC stuff with no bad side effects. I can't pull an all nighter for the life of me, if I do I'm dead useless.White and Red 'till I'm cold and dead.

What works for me? Hold off on caffienne until you don't have an option...that'll maximize it's impact on your body. Sugar is the same way (stay away from chips and things during the time when you're awake awake...fruit and things like that are ok, but refined sugar will bring a crash)...you don't want to start in too early or you'll crash (probably hard).
Another thing that helps (me) is if you can get a little sleep - say, 2 hours - at some point, that can give you a decent refresher for awhile.
If you need to be driving while you're tired (not recommended of course), turn on your AC, take off your shoes, and blow the AC on your feet. The cold (esp on your feet) will help keep you awake.
You could also try meth.
