i don't know what to make of women who when asked "what do you want to be when you grow up" answer "a mom". a goal, to me, is something you set your life's compass to, that you work towards, that your personal failures and successes may be measured by. marriage, family, and parenthood just seem like things that happen while working on becoming the person you want to be.
so when someone says that what they want to be is something that would likely happen anyway while in pursuit of something more specific and specialized, it makes me wonder how developed they are as people.
A lot of them see quite clearly that the only alternative is clerk/waitress/checkout chick for the rest of their working lives. They aren't getting any meaning out of a career, and shaping a new person looks pretty cool in comparison. It also comes with a lot of possible side jobs - coach, cook, crafter. And rightly or wrongly, you don't have to have a piece of paper to do it, unlike almost anything else.
Having a career goal is a luxury, duder.
I'm not sure I'd call it a luxury. I'm poor as fuck from a lower middle-class background, and while being fairly bright and having a penis is advantageous, I've known smarter girls from wealthier homes who've felt this way. They're the ones I don't understand. You can come from low standing and still have grand aspirations.
It's not about the reality of the dream -- my own goals are way above my situation -- it's about having one. And setting your sights on one of life's incidentals just seems like a life unlived to me.
Parenthood is pretty romanticised. And women doing things that aren't related to parenthood are still shat all over in a myriad subtle and not so subtle ways, to be frank. People bitch a lot about women not bargaining appropriately for a decent paycheck or promotion, but women who do speak up for themselves are commonly socially censured in ways men simply are not. I tend to view people who see female attrition rates in high-level careers as a big ol' mystery with a great deal of suspicion as a result, because really, is anyone that fucking retarded?
A lot people shape their lives to avoid being censured by people who frankly don't deserve that level of deference. It is what it is, and I'm not immune. Sometimes I think it would be easier in some ways to drop out and spend my time with toddlers, because they may crap everywhere but at least they don't subtly and constantly question your right to be in the room with them and the squeaky toys.
What is there to say about Abd? He painted model trains and often posted violent diatribes against tribal diets. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, terra pax, requiem, amen.
Our path is clear, Fluffy: we must make Good Will Hunting 3: It's A Dominic, Dominic, Dominic, Dominic World and every 10 days you must post silly screen caps from it.

Good lord, was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back really released a decade ago? I remember seeing that in the theater.
Oh gosh. I feel old.
I wouldn't have been allowed in the theater, as I would have been 12.
I used to be young and beautiful, just like you Fluffy. I would put on my Sunday best and walk around in an open field with a girl my age. We would frolic, pick flowers, talk about our futures, our hopes. As the sun set we would hold each others hands and stare up at how the sun would play off the delicate features of the clouds. I could taste life with every breath I took.
Now I masturbate once a day and pray that I don't get in a car accident again or else I'm fucked for good.
2) That movie did not age well. I kind of like the premise. If I had to re-write history, that movie would not have been made in the 70s. Instead of Minority Report, Spielberg would have made Logan's Run.

If I had to rewrite history I would've prevented the Holocaust
Things which are distracting: having General Clarke in Supreme Commander be voiced by Major Kusanagi.
It just doesn't look right because all I see is a blonde germanic women talking like a Japanese cyborg. Which is funny, because the actual voice actress is a blonde germanic looking women.
One would argue that the world needed something this bad to start looking at itself, I mean, all these groups were always being discremenated against, and they didn't have the same support after the holucost than before.

but hey
There's plenty of disasters orders of magnitude worse than the Holocaust to prevent.
I'd just rewrite history to make myself filthy fucking rich, and sole owner of Switzerland.
edit: Switzerland because it's centrally placed to a lot of civilised, awesome places with plenty of natural beauty with good international flight connections to the rest of the world.

Not until they're teenagers, at any rate.
yeah now i want to make this a real thing
Well done, sir.
but this might be my favorite community ep yet
That one is quite good. Quite damn good.
That's a sweater, not a scarf.
It's supposed to be a preppy look.
As to why...I don't know. People need a practical yet casual, relaxed way to keep track of their sweaters.

Tell me about Woodstock and Sputnik, Gim

hairist
ear or nose piercing
maybe a tattoo
Wow Nerd, you're saying that gays, Jews, gypsies and the disabled being around is worse than the Holocaust?
I AM APPALLED.
no metals. no luxuries. Rice, fish, clam aplenty, and a solitary horse. No other lands accessible until I have ocean-going ships.
man, what
e: oh and the AIs grabbed all the religions too, even better.
