Unfortunately I'm almost functionally blind without my glasses.  I can get away with not wearing them at home, but out and about I probably can't do it.  And I know enough to know that driving without wearing glasses is just inviting disaster.

On a different topic, I'm surprised no one has brought up the recent failure of the college loan vote because god forbid billionaires pay more money.

So I've been haunting over at FSTDT and I've noticed something delightful.

No, not delightful, this genuinely makes me feel delighted.

Basically, a TERF got quoted.  Then a TERF (maybe even the same one) kept posting in the comments talking about how FSTDT has become a ... I dunno, chauvinistic society or something.

And then this recent quote:

Seriously fstdt needs to go back to what it used to do and stop with all this "what about the trans menz" bullshit. You guys are really that butthurt because radfems won't suck your trans dicks?

And already it's got a comment from a TERF:

Quote
Exactly how is something "fundie" when it's the truth?

So basically we've got a perpetual machine of bigotry and mocking of bigotry going on.  I love it.

Looking at various gaming laptops and comparing prices. Apparently an Alienware laptop that is significantly worse than an Asus is every way, to the point where the keyboard doesn't even have the numeric keypad (something that should be standard in a computer designed for gaming), is $700 more expensive.

It says a lot about average human intelligence that companies can pull nonsense like this and not go out of business.

My boss is sick, and he was walking around at work today carrying a trashcan in case he needed to vomit. Always nice to see.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Let's just hope you didn't catch what he has... assuming it's a contagious illness and not something like food poisoning.

I live in Osaka, Japan and often use the subway to go to work in the morning. One day while I was waiting for the train, I noticed a homeless man standing in the corner of the subway station muttering to himself as people passed by. He was holding out a cup and seemed to be begging for spare change.

An overweight woman passed by the homeless man and I distinctly heard him say, “Pig.”

Wow, this man is insulting people and he still expects them to give him money?

Then a tall businessman went by and the man muttered, “Human.”

Human? I can’t argue with that. Obviously, he was human.

The next day, I arrived early at the subway station and had some time to kill, so I decided to stand close to the homeless man and listen to his strange mutterings.  A thin, haggard-looking man passed in front of him and I heard the homeless guy mutter, “Cow.” Cow? The man was much too skinny to be a cow. To me, he resembled a turkey or a chicken. A minute or so later, an obese man went by and the homeless man said, “Potato.” Potato? I was under the impression that he called all fat people “Pig”.

That day at work, I couldn’t stop thinking about the homeless man and his puzzling behavior. I kept trying to find some logic or pattern in what he as muttering. Perhaps he has some kind of psychic ability. In Japan many people believe in reincarnation, so maybe he knows what these people were during a previous life. I observed the man many times and began to think my theory was right. I often heard him calling people things like “Rabbit”, “Onion”, “Sheep”, or “Tomato”.

One day, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to ask him what was going on. As I walked up to him, he looked at me and said, “Bread.” I tossed some money into his cup and asked him if he had some kind of psychic ability. The man smiled and said, “Yes, indeed. It is an ability I obtained many years ago, but it’s not what you might expect. I can’t tell the future or read minds or anything like that.”

“Then what is your ability?” I asked eagerly.

“The ability is merely to know the last thing somebody ate,” he said.

I laughed because I realized he was right. He said, “Bread.” The last thing I had eaten for breakfast that day was toast. I walked away shaking my head. Of all the psychic abilities someone could have, that one must be the most useless.

I'll wait for the "wait Wait WAIT WHAT" to hit.

What really bothers me is that apparently people in Japan are more likely to have sheep or rabbit for breakfast than cereal.

Or no breakfast at all, perhaps?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me

Sing, sing, sing with me

Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more

Today we have the first installment in Why Didn't I Google This Before?, and the search is "world's tastiest pie". Curiously enough, one of the entries comes from science fiction author John Scalzi:

Marvel reviews, "Last Movie You Watched", p. 75-76.
