Liberals Under My Bed is a fun way for parents to teach children conservatism. Readers follow Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when bureaucratic busybodies demand the brothers pay outrageous taxes, remove their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with their lemonade, they experience firsthand the dangers of liberalism.
I must own this book.

So my SoaSE late game really sucks. I pound the computer like nobody's business early on but when it comes time to take them out they show up on my doorstep with captial ships galore (away from my main fleet) and wipe me out.

Our philosophy threads piss me off. They're like red-carpet events for people who threw away their education and are desperately trying to invent a practicality for it by name-dropping whenever possible. There's this whole Masons vibe to it, and I sort of feel like if I had two legs to stand on and posted from them I'd just get swept away to a secret philosobunker in the arid southwest where I would live out the rest of my life in a commune full of people bickering about whether or not they have paper bags on their heads.
For reference's sake, yes, we would all have paper bags on our heads.

I think I'm going to get that this weekend. Should serve as a decent diversion while I'm stuck inside from the weather. Or I'll get it on Valentine's Day...either/or.

You just summarized the whole field of philosophy you know

Nah, he really didn't.
Also, calling any degree useless is pretty dumb, you do know you learn things other the knowledge given to you on the course right? Employers also look better on those with degrees unless you're stacking bricks, you realise that right?
Also, Oboro is pretty fucking low on the list of people who get to comment on the job market in general.

The only people who dropped names were Podly and I. And there's only two of us.

Plus, if you really want to know - I did a double degree - BSc Computer Science/BA Philosophy of Science (Maj)/Mind (Min).
I did the former because it was the field I wanted to get into, and the latter because I found it enjoyable and did it "for me".
I got my first job on my English and soft-analytic skills, which my employers first picked up on from my resume listing I had done Philosophy.
So, I didn't expect Philosophy to be useful, doing it only for my own pleasure, and yet it turned out to be useful afterall.
i got a headset, so i will figure out how to use skype today!
My family are horribly afraid of me being raped through the internet, so naturally I only use VOIP when no one is home. The other night I forgot my sister was home, and was chatting away in TF2.
I had to convince her that I was talking to myself

guhhh roommate is skipping work again today what the fuck :x
ellipses
I don't see why this is ellipsis-worthy. Roommate skips a day of work at least once a week because of boyfriend drama, which he has a lot of because he has four boyfriends. It really makes me uncomfortable when he just decides to stay home, and is consequently very irritable, and I don't know. It just irks me. He makes me really uncomfortable and I dislike it when the time I thought I was going to have to myself isn't.

I think I'm going to get that this weekend. Should serve as a decent diversion while I'm stuck inside from the weather. Or I'll get it on Valentine's Day...either/or.
So to renew my engineering licence, I need to fill in a form they sent me. In order to fill in the form, I need an index of the codes they used, which, according to the form, is on another document they sent me.
Except they didn't send it to me.
Fucking great.

You can get it
and then we can get Quid to get it
and then we can all play together
(and we will form a secret alliance)
I never do anything underhanded like that in games. I follow a code.
Also playing the computer can be frustrating because they rarely seem to fight toe-to-toe. If I try to attack their fleet they just warp and run away. And then I end up chasing them back and forth between 2 systems.

I have to set priorites with my money for a while. I am sorry, but I don't think I can form secret southwest alliances with this one.
