I'd expected millions of people and instead I get number barely over 9000?


Yesss!

I have a discord account but most of the time I forget it's there. Besides when I'm at home I'm probably concentrating on something(hearthstone, improbable island, making PBP maps, slay the spire run), that I don't want to be disturbed by flashing lights and beeping buttons on discord.

Sorry guys!

I told you I have lots of motivation points, the secret behind it is that I block out EVERYTHING else, until I get what I want to do done.


I might need to purchase a microphone...

Also, polish my accent. I haven't spoke English in years...


Aye it does flash red a lot. That tasks me.


Time to wash, put on cloths, and go away do things.


Uh I think so far they just type on it. I don't know that I've heard anyone speak on it yet.

Urgh I pressed the wrong button on the coffee machine so it ended up as too much coffee for the cup for a guest, so I collected the rest and drank it up. I guess tonight you’re going to hear about me being unable to sleep.

The coffee didn't taste bad even though I just drank it plain without any milk or sugar.


On average it takes about 5 hours for the effect of coffee to fade. (I read somewhere anyways.)

But your accent is already Polish, surely?!?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Two identically spelled words with different meanings joke time!


The word your looking for is Homograph. That's what "Two identically spelled words with different meanings" Actually I think since they are pronounced differently they are Heteronyms.

I got 5 days more of annual leave! Yippie! Also going to make moar pizza this Sunday.


Your pizza needs pepperoni!

The Exchange

Issue is can I get one that doesn't contain beef? I've got a beef ban in the house.


Self-imposed? Also I thought pepperoni was pork >.>

The Exchange

Mom imposed. I have to show respect for her religion so no beef in da house. And definitely no cooking beef. I thought it was pork, then wikied it, it's a mix of beef and pork.

The Exchange

I'm considering if I should bring some to office for more taste testing but mozarella cheese isn't cheap and I...dont think I can bake enough pizza to satisfy their appetites. Each person would only get a mouthful. It'd be like putting something delicious in front of someone then taking it away after a bite =(

I think that's too cruel.


Huh I did not know it was a mix. religious practice eh? Isn't that a Hindu thing?

The Exchange

Buddhist too =)

I didn't know Buddhist didn't eat beef. huh. I guess I heard of them having a vegetarian diet however. Is it just beef then? if its just cows whats the reason for that animal specifically? (I'm just curious I've studied a lot of religions)


G$*@+#n f&+%ing rain.


So much rain you turned into a frogman?


Unrelated.

But enough to get called off work and it would've been over time, so yeah, I'm actually pretty pissed about it.

Might be pulling this out of my ass, as its not really my area of expertise, but I think its One of those things that might be practices differently depending on which of the there branches of Buddhism, you practicing.

The principle of non-violence some Buddhists practice could also be an explanation for the vegan diet, as they might see it extended to the killing of animals?
As for why they don't cows specifically, I can't really give an answer. Though it would make sense as a kind of "legacy" thing, ie Buddhism developed in the same regional space as Hinduism and Jainism so maybe some practices carried on?


Oh that is tragic. Overtime is nice. Tell them you got this you'll even wear a snorkel.

Unfortunately a snorkel won't get a mini bobcat up a steep slope in the mud.

And I'm certainly not carrying a fire pit piece by piece up a steep slope in the rain by hand.

Nope, my only recourse is to come here and b+#~% about the rain and impotently shake my fist at the sky.

Shakes fist.

Cows are considered as sacred animals so yeah no eating. Or at least no eating while I'm at home, my mom doesn't care what I do outside.

The food that a strict Buddhist takes, if not a vegetarian, is also specific. For many Chinese Buddhists beef and the consumption of large animals and exotic species is avoided.

That's nice... I just lie to mine if I do something she wouldn't approve of. (well now I just don't tell her but that tactic worked well in highschool.)

No exotic species. that's like the opposite of how I want my diet.

I remember one of the interesting things I read about Buddhist monks is even though they had (have) diet restrictions they were still suppose to eat the restricted food if it was handed out to them. Kind of a don't look a gift horse in the mouth kind of thing.

I need to read more I always found that stuff so interesting.
Probably because its just so different from the stuff I was surrounded by growing up.

The Exchange

Don't worry, I can pretend to be a good vegetarian anytime I want to. I can even talk to you convincingly on why you should go vegetarian =P

For me I'd say the primary reason would be just to be environmentally friendly. I did talk about the feed conversion ratio of cattle before right? It's crap. So on the same piece of land you could feed away more people on vegetables and the world's population is increasing.

Just don't ask me to actually talk about buddhism beliefs.

I went vegetarian for about 2 years from dawn to dusk because my friend was vegetarian and I didn't want to cause her any discomfort eating meat in front of her. Yeah, I'd do a lot for my friends. Again, eat anything feat applies to vegetables as well, so I wasn't particularly unhappy about being vegetarian either.


Yeah someone needs to hurry up and get on inventing the machines from star trek that just materializes food.

Signs you have a papadam problem. You intended to buy a packet of papadams from the shop, but seeing that they only had one other packet left, you bagged it as well because you're afraid someone else will get the last packet of papadams ><

The Exchange

And over the course of two weeks, my aunt and I depleted the papadam stocks of a hapless neighborhood department store. Get what I mean by gluttons?

I think that kind's of a pseudo-caricature of ancient hindu ascetic gurus.

They were supposed to life a life with out possessions other then a bowl to beg/eat from, the rags they were wearing, and a kind of sash-like shoulder bag to carry to bowl in and maybe a holy text.
They would then go to some shrine, were they would meditate on the holy texts, and dispense their wisdom to the passerbys (who would give them food in return).
Its basically a weird form of hindu ascetic monasticism.

The Jain place the principle of non-violence above all else, thus hold all life to be sacred (or at least worth of life).
Thus the caricature of the extreme Jain is a man with his mouth covered in cloth (as to not breath in any insects or the like), sweeping the road in front of him with a branch (again the insects…), while subsiding on a strict vegan diet.

There a lot more to it, but as I said, not an expert. I'm most going from what I remember from Indian history.

To me, "Night John" is a convenient place to go to the bathroom at night.

Even less romantic, somehow...


In my fan fiction Night John is either a werewolf or serial mailbox smasher, possibly both.

Re: Jainism. I heard a great piece on NPR with journalist Sonia Shah about going to visit her Jainist grandmother in India, seeing her grandmother pray with the white cloth tied over her face, and secretly hating mosquitoes and all they represent, and only swatting them in secret so she wouldn't upset the old woman (or get in trouble).

Today's my last day at work. Still feeling a little under the weather but not half as bad as yesterday, and I can't not go in.

I don't tell my coworkers when I give a job two weeks notice, I don't like attention focused on me.

Which is also why I hate my birthday (besides the body searches I mean) and Father's Day.
