I met this blind dog today at an Afghan police station. It wasn't completely blind, which my platoon sergeant determined by fake-poking it in the eye, at which it flinched, but only when his finger was literally millimeters away from the dog's eyeball.
It was probably the saddest dog I've ever seen. He had completely white fur, and I think he had arthritis based on how he moved, and he had most of his ears cut off because Afghans do that to dogs for some unearthly reason, but he was really friendly, although sluggishly so. He was missing most of his teeth and his canines were blunt; they looked like they might have been filed down. His nose was completely pink with just a few, very tiny tufts of black here and there. That is, his nose was damaged somehow that left it almost completely raw, this wasn't some weird color pigmentation. You could see the cataracts on his eyes and he had that blind person stare. Like, he came up to me and clearly wanted to be petted but he didn't look around or look at me like dogs are wont to do when you are petting them. He seemed well fed but other than that it didn't seem like they took very good care of him, to say the least.
If he had been born somewhere else and raised by people that actually liked dogs, he probably would have been a really awesome dog.
It would be the saddest story if it also included a retarded man petting the dog and crying and telling him that one day he will run and play and catch frisbees and fetch balls in a yard with green grass he can roll in when his back itches and a picket fence and a sprinkler he can sneak up on when it's spraying water the other way and then sniff at it and yelp slightly when it sprays him with cold water

"What a brilliant set of results to end the year on, well done Mojo. You must be happy that you have taken a concept through to a functioning proof of principle, truly interdisciplinary, good work."
I love my chemistry collaborators, they are always so happy and excited.

I am so bored at work these days. My part of the project is still in development, so I kinda poke the daily build, but otherwise there's no much to do until we hit integration, which seems like it won't be until next year.

In terms of influence alone, good or bad, I think Hitler was the most influential person of the 20th Century.
My arguments for this are twofold:
1. By kicking off WWII, and antagonizing Josef Stalin, he catalysed the Soviet Union's and America's assent to superpowerdom, and that rivalry has impacted global politics even after the fall of the wall.
2. By kicking off the Holocaust, he also catalyzed Zionism and the creation of the Jewish state, and this has also had a major impact in the Middle East and its woes, although part of that is due to the East-West rivalry as well.
Basically his actions set the direction of Global Politics for like 50 years, and still has reprecussions today. That's hella influential.
So I got 4/4 objectives for this Steam contest period.
Metro 2033 kind of angers me. The concept is good but everything the player does seems so perfunctory. And he's the most characterless FPS guy I've ever seen. Even more than Doom guy. He has little narrated blurb before each chapter section but never so much as grunts in the game.
And that fake Russian accent he uses to narrate is terribad.

the only trader joe's in charleston is a furniture store
ok so as a former barrista at a health food chain, I used to LOVE when we we get this from overstock because it made the BEST lattes
when you steam it the sugars break down in just the right way to make it taste like you are drinking a rice krispy treat.
as a coffee snob, it was my guilty pleasure
In fact that is pretty much all I get from coffee places anymore
But for home use I buy the regular, non-vanilla variety
I buy the non-vanilla variety at home because I am the only one that likes to drink it straight and I defer to the majority
it is soooo goood
also good? get the silk soynog and put it in coffee/latte

that is the saddest story
well not the SADDEST
but very sad
a gecko fell in to our fish tank tonight. I had to rescue the poor little bugger and put him outside before the crayfish got him.

Humbug?
Ram ewe, sheep be true?
No, I don't Bah Humbug.
I have a ridiculous amount of resistance to the idea.
I've been harvesting mud for years, but this is the first time I've heard it talk.
and now I want to go to bed but I have stuff to do today ugh
Pretty good day.
ouch
I love my chemistry collaborators, they are always so happy and excited.
I get where the ending of Scott Pilgrim was going.
And it was still pretty cool.
But I think I prefer the movie.
Hey, he inspired the Citizen Kane of our generation.
thats lame.

Video 1: It's your fault our children isn't learning.
Video 2: Obviously you need to punish them more.
Video 3: Busy work is the best work.
And people wonder why our education system is in fucking shambles.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
He's no Hitler, or Stalin.
Becuase the government abdicated the responsibility of funding it properly?
We're probably just not hitting them enough. (as Video 4 just told me)
I seriously can't believe this shit is real.

Yo Mark Zuckerberg. I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Julian #Assange was clearly the #Time #PersonOfTheYear. Of The Year!
