I'm pretty bad about trying new foods because I'm always afraid I won't like it and I'll have wasted a day's lunch funds... But gyros do sound like something I'd love.

so basically i turned my ankle kind of roughly a bit back and i'm still limping a little bit, so the walk there was slow and kind of grueling. and when i got my money i was like "fuck that i'm not walking back" so i got on the bus
so i'm on the bus and across from me are two dudes. neither is saying anything, and they both look very fobby (like, some sort of eastern europeans). i'm just sitting there when i notice that while one dude is acting normally, the other dude is staring at me in that "i'm tough, the fuck you gonna do about it? kind of sense. and i just ignore him and don't stare back. finally he and his friend start chatting (in pretty local english so maybe they aren't quite so fobby) and the 'tough guy' starts saying to his friend "man my knuckles are hurting. remember in that movie with [some whatever thing i've never heard of with a gang fight or whatever, i don't know, i wasn't trying to eavesdrop], i feel like that. this is probably from fucking up that guy on bustleton ave the other day" and on and on. the dude is being very obviously menacing to me but i wasn't sure if his friend was complicit or not. he didn't seem to be, at first.
my stop's not too far away and i didn't want to instigate anything by trying to change seats, so i stayed where i was and finally the dude just swung at me out of nowhere. the bus is moving and there's really no effective way for me to play keep away. his friend jumped in a split second later and nobody says anything or goes to stop them, as i work at fending them off in this narrow bus
the driver finally slams on the brakes and i hit the ground. i put my hand on the ground to push myself up, and one of them stomps on my forearm. at that point my 'try to just get off this bus' thing disappeared and i hurt the one closer to me enough that his friend sort of drags him off the bus.
at that point finally someone asks me if i'm ok and if they should call the cops. heh.
anyways
i won the fight and that's what's important 8-)
god damn dude
philly is such a shithole
i'm glad you weren't seriously hurt

Also, the fact that Europeans use the terms "credit cards" and "charge cards" to basically mean the reverse of what North Americans use the terms to mean, rendering a lot of cross-oceanic credit card discussion needlessly confusing.
Credit cards are credit. You pay at the end of the following month.
Charge/debit, subtracts money from what is in your account at the time.
I do not see any complications.
This was a few pages back, but I just got round to checking this thread so.
In North America, a credit card is a card where it should be paid at the end of the following billing cycle (not month) but doesn't need to be, and if not, you pay a minimum payment (which is a percentage of the balance) and you incur an interest charge.
A charge card is identical to a credit card except that you do not have a pre-set spending limit on the credit extended to you but you must pay the balance in full by the end of the next billing cycle lest you accrue a very punitive penalty fee.
So, in North America, most people have credit cards, and charge cards are largely restricted to corporate accounts and to rich people who don't want to have a pre-set monthly limit and are capable of paying such large balances in full each month.
Europeans use those terms completely differently. I've seen Germans, for example, use "charge card" to mean credit card and "credit card" to mean charge card, and English folk who use charge card to mean debit card.
i'm not crazy about poetry but some of this stuff is all right
The ones who saw the dreams and knew the names
Who heard the grasses talking to each other
Who learned the will of their ancient father
Who listened to the songs of tidal waves
The ones whose souls have been purified
The ones who are harnessed to the pain of challenge
Who lit their mystic candles on the fringe
Who became a pure shade of darkest nights
Who didn't squeeze their grape to sinful glass
And didn't seek the joys of earthly leisure
Not in the priestess's dances, not in the pleasure
But who descended into Hell's morass
To meet their shadow at the very bottom--
They don't expect hearts with love to blossom.

how ridiculous
I'm not sure he had someone in particular in mind, just as a general statement.

You have not lived!
If you were to get hit by a car on the way to a gyro place and die, that would just constitute a very late abortion.
You really should floss more.
Um, I think he's making a crack about feminists in general. The round table I'll be attending is on domestic violence.

You...
you can't say that here.
I go by that place all the time, too.

It's all very confusing and regional.
Do you sit upon your black throne and laugh the merciless laugh which shall bring about destruction?

Yes

Dude, I hate sex. Sex sucks.

i dare you prove me wrong
Huh, I've heard mixed things about that place. Like "The atmosphere is top notch but the food's so-so, it's good if you're going with friends"
*shrug* Guess I'll have to try them both.
So imaginary sex? What is the square root of sex-?
What if they have...a physical trauma.
No penis!
It is perfectly rational to hate sex when you are physically incapable of having it due to having
no penis!
Tesla?
A physical trauma like that would fuck you up pretty good psychologically.
Luckily sex and coitus are not necessarily the same thing.
