Things That Annoy You

[Sigmaleph]

I've only found one, so far.  They release new editions, which move things enough to make the old ones relatively useless for normal usage, yearly.  I've always envisioned a piracy service for college textbooks, but I'd...rather not open that can of worms, myself.  I do NOT want to be extradited to Texas.

It's a shame that such a service doesn't already exist.

Oh, oh my.  Bookmarked.

"It's ok to stereotype black people because they commit more crime"

"Don't stereotype men even though they commit most crime because black people commit more crime than white men. I suddenly care about applying context to statistics when it affects me."

I put the last nail in the coffin today. I'm officially an adult. I took all my Xmas money and opened an IRA. My little boat needs a motor, I'd like a new tv, and life would be considerably easier with a brand new rototiller, and I've had my eye on a new duck gun.  Mrs. Rookie along with 3/5 of my daughters would be delighted to see me update my wardrobe. My car has some minor cosmetic damage. But no to all of that. A pack of cigarettes, a cup of coffee, and a retirement savings vehicle.

The first annoying part is that I waited so long. I've been working for almost 26 years and I'm just now starting. 2/3 of my life I could have-should have-been putting something away this whole time. I asked the guy there, if I had started from my first real job in 1994, a reasonable amount every week. I'm proud of myself for not breaking down emotionally or harmed myself with the answer.

The second annoying part is I realized I'm an adult. I've been ignoring the signs for as long as I could. My carefree (ha!) youth is officially behind me. I'm certainly not old, I realize that. But I'm not young anymore. It's been a weird day coming to grips with that.

But there's a good thing to come out of this. See the Anything Good Happen thread for that.

I'm already sick of the censorship arguments spamming several threads across the board. Can we better contain it? We have a couple threads dedicated to it currently.

Alright.  I'll do my best.

I suppose we could... censor it.

Thanks for understanding.

No problem.

Bashed my toes against a door frame again. Fucking hell, that's painful. I've been screaming profanities at the top of my lungs for the past couple of minutes (which, admittedly, has made me feel somewhat better).

I had my toe get jammed under the door when I opened it once. Mother of fuck, that was pain.

I read a study somewhere a long, long while back, that shouting profanities after an injury actually does reduce its pain.

shouting in general. it increases blood and air flow and helps get some adrenaline pumping, thus kickstarting the healing process.
