A guilty pleasure, I still occasionally check Yahoo "headlines". I'm pretty annoyed at the trend of more and more of them being videos with zero written content. I click off the site 90% of the time that happens. Eventually I'll just stop going back.
I always thought that Mormons couldn't drink anything with caffeine, but apparently its just coffee and tea that are explicitly banned. "And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly." https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-te...dc/89?lang=eng
Was looking it up, and the story goes that Joseph Smith's wife saw the flock spitting tobacco juice all over the church floor, and was disgusted by it. Conduct unbecoming of an LDS member, she thought, so she had her hubby ask Jesus if they should can tobacco. Jesus was all, Fuckin right ban that shit, and alcohol, and hot drinks and other bullshit. So it was done, obv.
Drinking a cup of Barry's Gold tea right now. Had some Peets New Guinea Highlands coffee out of my French press earlier tonight. I don't do it to specifically offend Jesus, but I do think the possibility makes them both taste just a little bit better.

My mormon friend always announces when he has a Mountain Dew on facebook, which is prob 3-4 days a week.Quote:

People are lazy and don't want to read. Kind of sad really. Another thing I can't do is read a book on a Kindle (or anything like that). I need the actual book in my hands.Quote:

I thought this would be the case for me but I have had a Kindle Touch since April and am now reading more than ever. E-ink is great. I would never read on a tablet though.Quote:

My understanding has been that it's fine to make observations about trends and common traits in cultures and nationalities, but not ethnicities. Is that starting to change? I've been told that the following joke is racist and offensive:
My sister once scolded me for observing that nail salons are often run by Vietnamese ladies.Quote:

That all seems ludicrous to me, but maybe I'm a naive white bigot.

Were they not even trying?
Dr. Hoffman was totally misportrayed, she helped Barnabas time and time again and was basically a non entity in the movie. Although I believe she did try to turn him human in the original series, and may have even succeeded. Where the Hell was Quentin. He was one of the best characters. On again off again werewolves don't come along every day. Willie Loomis was about the same. Michelle Pfeiffer stole the show. Thought she was really good as Elizabeth. Much better than Joan Bennett(she stumbled through her lines all the time). Johnny Depp didn't have the presence to play Barnabas. I like Depp, but does he always have to play the same campy ass character. Angelique was OK, but my god, the woman that played her(Lara Parker) in the series was 10 times better looking than the hag they they replaced her with.
The first few minutes I thought the movie was going to be great and it just continually deteriorated. What the fuck was the Carpenters song about? Why did Barnabas kill all the hippies, he didn't have to. I understand at the beginning when hes dug up, he mentioned how hungry he was. Yeah kill everybody there, that's cool, but the hippies, seriously.
Barnabas Collins was a bad mother-fucker, not the confused child Depp portrayed him to be. Major blunder fom Tim Burton here. 3 fangs out of 10 for this one.
I stopped doing cool kid handshakes when I was about 18. Since then I've stuck to the traditional regular handshake. Sometimes in certain social settings, I'll encounter people that still use those handshaking styles. Around here, a common one involves locking thumbs, sliding back, and curling fingertips. It used to be extremely awkward when guys would attempt that type of handshake on me, and I'd only realize it half-way through as I'm doing my standard shake. It kind of made me feel like a square, ya dig?
But now, I say fuck it. Even if I realize beforehand that they're probably going to use a cool kid handshake, I stand firm. I squeeze their hand, I don't fumble or attempt to adapt to their style, and maintain eye contact. One fluid motion.
A few weeks ago I played a game of pool with a stranger and shook his hand afterwards. He got angry at me and said that I deathgripped him. I try to keep it pretty firm, but I'm not a very strong guy, so I'm not sure what he was on about. He was a huge dude too. Kinda spooked me.
I love drinking an abOve average amount, going to bed late, and waking up real early feeling like a champ. Also had a 7-11 sandwich last night and I don't feel like shit. Looks like I'll be in good shape for the first wedding of four I have to go to this month. Feeling like Todd getting a free upgrade on a rental car today
Storm came through last night. Knocked out the power for a couple of hours. 2ond night in a row. Jeez, really sucks to have the power off. Lots of lightning last night. Lightning flashes for an instant then its gone, yet its considered static electricity. Shouldn't it be considered dynamic electricity instead?

Why am I feeling depressed on a Saturday morning? Especially since college football is in full swing.
I'm no fan of the LDS, but pretty sure the mormons don't own Coca-cola, unless Warren Buffet somehow became a mormon lately, and his company still has under 10% as the largest shareholder.Quote:

. . . Kimball, Grant, McConkie, Widstoe, Peterson, Featherstone, et al, have said against the consumption of cola drinks?
Would devout Mormons who swig colas therefore feel guilty because they have (per historical Mormon doctrine and practice) sustained these men as God's inspired, chosen leaders--leaders whose teachings on cola consumption they have nonetheless chosen to defy?
Indeed, how devout is that?
Especically when General Authority Vaughn Featherstone, as noted in the LDS-owned "Church News," describes Mormon cola drinking as a way for Church members to rationalize, find loopholes in and bend the rules of the Mormon Church:
"'Speaking of those who rationalize THE CHURCH'S STAND ON COLA DRINKS, Bishop Featherstone said, "We can find loopholes in a lot of things if we want to bend THE RULES OF THE CHURCH.'"

No. We have one of the lowest marginal tax rates in the world.Quote:

A few times a week without fail:
Email from Facebook - You have new notificatioins! 24 friend requests, 10 picture tags, 14162345 pokes!
Log into Facebook, check friend requests and notification tabs - No new notifications.
FUCK YOU FACEBOOK. LEAVE ME ALONE!
I turned off those notifications, but I also have a fake account on Facebook and I forgot to turn them off there.Quote:

It's a tactic to try to get inactive accounts back on Facebook. It doesn't send that crap to active people.
The thing is, I love e-mail notifications. They can be very useful and convenient. I have folders in my e-mail client neatly organized and auto-sorted for things like Twitter, YouTube and messageboard accounts. When I get new followers, subscriptions, comments, PMs, or whatever, I can just see it in my folders on a single e-mail client. I don't have to log into 10 different accounts every morning to see my interactions.Quote:

Facebook abuses this. Sometimes they're telling the truth about about new messages or friend requests. In these cases, the e-mail notifications are serving their purpose. But other times, they're lying and just tricking me into logging in. I'm not talking about the "friend activity" e-mails either, I just ignore those.
Facebook is the only website I've seen do this. It's not surprising, given their unscrupulous reputation. I don't even like using Facebook very much. Fuck those guys.
I get these all the time. The funny thing is I have never had a facebook account nor do I ever plan to have one.Quote:

This might all come crashing down if I have to get a real job or I get married, or I turn 30 and the novelty of it all wears off. But for now I'm not taking it for granted.
I stepped into a porto-o-potty and on the inside wall above the hand drawn arrow pointing down it read
"Mexican escape route"
I found it quite funny.
The camera zoom in live NFL games fucking sucks most of the time. You hardly see any of what's going on in the secondary unless they happen to show a decent replay. On passing plays the receivers and DBs just run off the screen, so there's nothing to watch but the trenches and a QB looking around. Would it be so bad to use a Madden point of view so we can see everything?
This is funnyQuote:

Here's a double-standard that I think is kind of silly. When men feel that they self identify more as a woman, and vice-versa, our society is increasingly tolerant and accommodating. If that's how someone feels on the inside and chooses to live their life, most people respect that and it's becoming taboo to give them shit about it. However, that's not the case at all with white people that self identify (sort of) as black or japaense. It's totally fine to laugh at them and call them wiggers and weaboos. I know it's not exactly the same thing, but I think it's somewhat similar.
Also, I wonder how common race changes would be if they could be done as easily as sex changes.
Pretty sure the sex change movement is fairly stagnant and any growth you perceive is coming from subversive tactics used by those who gain from it's advancement. How do I define subversive tactics-Quote:
