bon, why are we avoiding a fight? What's the collateral damage you need to concern? Can you just tell her to pull the billion dollars out of her ass, and it might just relax her some?
It's not, like, your MIL, or something? Or a *boy*, because I just realised I'd assumed chick.
Lots of people say dumb things on facebook/the internet: it's not best for me to challenge them all. Especially if it's just a FoaF. It's a man. Here's the context:
Friend from sixth grade: "Just think what we could do if everyone had put $1 or $10 or $20 or whatever they spent on lottery tickets this week towards new textbooks for schools or electing better leaders or sustaining after-school programs for youth..."
Me: "But that's where lottery money does go."
Other commenter I don't know: "I read a thing once that said in one weekend, what Americans spend at the movies, we could end world hunger."
Me:
boggle
Wasn't Steph trying to get to Street View *in* the Quest View, though?
Yes. That is why it looks like that.
Other commenter I don't know: "I read a thing once that said in one weekend, what Americans spend at the movies, we could end world hunger."
Man, why didn't someone just tell us?
Damn, man. That tea's even more expensive than my pearls.
Maybe I'll go in and buy a cup from them.
Shit, they have a Jasmine oolong. Just a touch more expensive than my pearls...I wonder.
And I refuse to let those people keep me out of the store. THEY WILL NOT WIN.
Signed,
The Motherfucking Batman.

Yes. That is why it looks like that.
I was, and I just thought maybe it should look better than that. Still Legend of Zelda-ish, but...better.
Man, why didn't someone just tell us?
Or like several dozen rich countries, many NGOs and the UN!
I really like going to the movies, though, so I'm glad no one mentioned I could be ending world hunger instead.
am losing steam. bedroom half clean such a mess. MUST get more energy!
That is why it looks like that.
Aha! Light bulb goes off really slowly. Uh, that part of the easter egg is kinda stupid.

But is it fun, and can you keep drinking while you do it? I'm not drinking owt but tea, but I've already LMGTY to someone who was snippily telling me that Sam Worthington was *not* born in the UK, so my point was invalid. Made my whole day brighter instantaneously.
Unfortunately, the chickie who said "I haven't read The Hunger Games, but there shouldn't be any race issues in the futuristic dystopia." I'm still waiting for her to answer my question about why she thought it was a good idea to share the opinion without reading the story, carefully ignoring the fact that it's stupid right there on the face of it.
Hunger Games is rapidly coming in second on the list of books/movies I've seen people preface their opinions on with: "I've neither seen nor read it, but this is what happened/went wrong/can be fixed/was ripped off." But I think there was a tacit understanding among people that they really shouldn't read Twilight, and they were there to poke fun at vampires and romances and fans as much as anything else.
These are people straight up criticising something they are also willing to reveal they don't have any first hand knowledge of. And, judging by some of them, they haven't even gotten to the Wikipedia stage of research.
Why? Why say that right up there at the start of the debate? Why wouldn't you want to pretend you're an expert? Does YA in general or the book in specific have that bad cooties that you need to wear a surgical mask and latex gloves just to type your responses to everyone lest you come down with a severe case of Everdeen?
I think I'm going to see John Carter today. Spending the afternoon with explosions and Taylor Kitsch shirtless sounds pretty good right now.
Between my parents and the job situation, I'm ready to cut a bitca, as the saying goes.
