Random Thoughts Thread

Reading the first post of this thread I remembered that I could never understand, not for my dear life, what that twitter thing is all about. Every time I see a twitter page I feel dyslexic. All I see is a senseless jumble of words, hashtags and photos that form an incomprehensible mess. I can never understand who's saying what on a twitter page. And I find facebook even more nonsensical. I'm not bashing in any way the people who use these services, but they are a complete mystery to me.

Facebook isn't nearly as bad as Twitter. I use Facebook because so many of my friends only communicate that way, but Twitter I cannot bring myself to do.

Don't worry wooly, I don't understand twitter either.

Awesome grandma gave me her piano, I can pick it up when I want. It's from 1850 and still works perfectly fine. No way that I can haul that thing up here where I live but I am going to make a piano-room out of the room below me.

I'm not very sure about the benevolence of her actions... How are you planning to move the piano to your appartment? I had to employ a crane and break a part of my balcony and one window.

I own the second floor, it's never going to get there the stairs make that impossible. But I also own the 2 by 3 space that is on the first floor. I am really doing nothing with it so it will be a perfect place to put it. With a layer of paint and some other cool stuff it will be awesome and really cheap, or free, to realise. That piano is awesome, all marine arted with figurines, all whatfaretheycalled are ivory, still fully functional. I can just have it, here take it! FFS thanks grandma

Watching mad max by myself. Smuggled 6 cookies from subway trying to get that high school thrill back but the workers are more apathetic than when I was younger. Oh well.

Sushi bars, is there something wrong with me or are my glasses just not spectacular enough to apreciate rice wrapped in seaweed with a tiny piece of fish in it. I'll just take fried clams or cod at the market thank you very much sayanora.

I never really liked sushi either, until I figured out that for me at least, its more of an appetizer or a quick bite to eat than anything substantial.

Also was never a huge fan of soy or eel sauce.

How is the movie? a lot have said it is good, whilst apparently "meninists" have issues with it due to a strong female called Imperator or something.

It's extremely feminist, and it's extremely good. Mad Max is really second to Theron's Imperator character, but it works since it allows Max to be the silent killing machine he is. That's about the only viable "complaint" the "meninists" have, since the movie doesn't really treat women as special in any other way (hence, why it's actually amazingly feminist). Most of the female characters are treated as disposable and their deaths are not focused on in the same way that random male hostiles/villains are disposed and forgotten. Some will say that the women are made to be the ones that build civilization while men destroy it, but that's directly countered by dialogue in the movie, so again, it's a nonsensical complaint.

I have a thing for strong women though, so Charlize Theron was really the only thing I wanted to watch. Bald, badass with a robotic arm, that's my **** right there.

[Fragony]

Charlize Theron is always +1, such a hottie that mouth ffs

Watched as much as I could of David Letterman's last show on YouTube. It was very good and surely a mark that an era of late night is officially over.

[Hooahguy]

Looks like Im out of a job come July. This sucks, though thankfully I have a year's experience at my current company with excellent reviews to rely upon, apparently that by itself is worth its weight in gold especially among the crowd still working on their degrees.

[Fragony]

Hope it will turn out fine.

This is getting better and better, my mate's daughter already won the Thai-boxing world-championship in her class, they have now flown in a top-class trainer from Thailand, supposedly a real gentleman. She will be twelve soon and things will get harder, but I het she can do it again.

Hilarious. Some genius at the government does an online survey about internet. First question 'do you have internet'

[Husar]

You could answer it from a friend's computer because you have no internet yourself, couldn't you?

[Fragony]

Probably the second question 'do you have friends' oh oh oh

My brother wants us to be wearing black ties with black suits for his wedding next month. For sake its a wedding not a funeral.

[Vuk]

Your brother has taste. I dress in all black, drive an all black car, and my bedroom is painted black...so yeah...I am with him.

[Hooahguy]

Wait, hold up, you dress all in black all the time?

[Fragony]

Suits ought to be black imho

[Hooahguy]

I have no issue with the suit itself being black, I take issue with wearing a black tie with it for a wedding. Far too solemn a dress code for what is supposed to be a happy event.

[Crandar]

Ties and suits? Too formal, in my opinion. We are a much more conservative country than you, guys, but we have stopped wearing ties and suits during weddings since the 80s.

The only chaps that wear ties are the right or far-right politicians and the army officers...

[Fragony]

Could hardly call the Netherlands conservative, but at wedding we wear suits and ties. Black tie is kinda odd though, I like white shirt with pink tie

[Vuk]

Wait, hold up, you dress all in black all the time?

Heck yas.

[Hooahguy]

Why? Unless you are emo/goth/Ozzy Osbourne I do not see the appeal.

[Vuk]

I guess I don't fit into stereotypes very well.
I think it is stylish and dignified. Kind of proper, like what Henry Ford said about cars.

[Fragony]

Dress what you want, I have no trouble wearing unconventional clothes, or clothes that are just wrong
