Also, the irony there is thick enough to cut with a chainsaw.

The MPAA attacking people for 'intentionally skewing facts' is my favorite part. Solid fucking gold.

The sites that are doing blackouts tomorrow are doing it to show those that haven't been paying attention to this nonsense what could happen if it passes. Aunt Martha who thinks her senator is a "handsome fellow doing good" has been wondering why everyone has been talking about soap for the past few weeks.brunoafh wrote:Oh. A friend explained it to me.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Ugh, 5 hours of psychiatric testing tomorrow.
Let this be a lesson to you kids, never tell the government anything they don't absolutely need to know, otherwise you'll end up having to spend $1000 on tests that you don't need and don't want to prove you're not a loony.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
For my FAA physical to get my pilot's license, I stupidly marked the box that said "History of anxiety and depression." They don't care how long it's been since you've had the issues, just checking that one box got me into this shit.AppleQueso wrote:Wow what'd you say to get into THAT mess?
I also have another 2 hours of random stuff I have to do after tomorrow as well. Such a fucking mess. I have to do it though. If I don't then I'll be permanently locked out of getting a license, which basically would end my career before it even starts.

Ryan, what's with your avatar and sig? They're nothing but black bars.
