Smart bastard too, he figured out the litter box.

I was watching the Nostalgia Critic's review of Temple of Doom and I noticed for the first time that Indy pronounces the Chinese warlord's name right

Can we please fast forward about 5 years so that the most vocal wailing and gnashing of teeth about the "nightmare" of allowing gay marriage can just go the fuck away?

Ah, yes. I suppose living in fucking Texas these days must be an even more cringe-worthy experience than usual.

Not as much as you might think. I've not encountered anyone in person expressing an opinion one way or the other.

Still, it's hard to not hear a ton of complaining even when you tend to avoid a lot of news because it's mostly noise. Especially when the governor and state attorney were mouthing off about defying the ruling. I think they backed off later, but still...

Keep in mind, also, that our junior senator is Ted fucking Cruz.

i actually complained out loud about the whole anti gay marriage nonsense. like i really don't understand why people even care, if anything, this *protects* 'traditional' marriage by not rendering it obsolete by a larger group of people!

That sounds interesting. Expand, if you will?

Marriage is already becoming less common; people don't feel it is necessary or desirable in their lives. If homosexuals couldn't get married at all, they'd surely continue living their lives without it - demonstrating that it isn't that important. So when someone is comtemplating marriage they might say "my gay friends don't do it and they are cool so i won't either".

Now though, that ~10% of the population can get married and likely will, soaring the marriage rate and reinforcing that it is a desirable thing for younger couples. I betcha countries with gay marriage have more marriages than those without, even if you adjust for the rate of homosexuals and other factors. I'm too much of a lazy ignoramus to actually test that hypothesis tho.

Ah, I see what you're getting at.

So, I weighed myself today.

59 kilograms (130 Lbs).

For reference, I'm 170cm tall (5'6").

I was still thinking I was 63-65 kilograms.

This came as a bit of a shock to me.

I'm happy about this.

I was going to suggest that you eat a hamburger but then i realised i have a similar height to you and weigh a hell of a lot more than i should

Oxy, I mean you no offense when I say this, but you are a tiny dude.

I've got more than 15 cm and over 45 kilos on you. Granted I'm bigger than the average; it's like we're book-ending it.

I'm 5'11" and weigh in right now at about 140 lbs....

...and in my own eyes i'm a bit high...

As the internet would say:

I'm smol

Or as they say where you come from, petite.

Yes. Although not that much. For a girl I'm just average sized.

And so the saga of the manure ends with me paying for its removal, a destroyed friendship and a gate being put up at either end of the property with a "GTFO" sign on it.

Shoulda just sued.

Today I walked up to the register of a Lego store and put down my VIP card. And it felt good.
