    Hey Dom we should totally form a programmer / web developer combo and make heaps of money.

    I'm pretty good at designing and building websites, integrating with a CMS, and possibly hacking a few PHP files to add some extra functionality, but I can't program for realsies, and it really isn't my forte. Could land some bigger jobs if I was able to offer bespoke app development.

    It's not even procrastination, it's literally me staring at code going "I can't think for shit"

    I will catch hell for this tomorrow I think.
    Yeah that happens to me sometimes. On those days it is a good thing making games isn't actually my job.

    My friend and I have been fiddling with game programming, he's a bit of a Mac fan and I'm a bit of an android fan (were going to move into a new York apartment and start a HILARIOUS sitcom) so well definitely let you know if there's stuff up.

    I hate programming.

    And I can't draw for shit.

    But I can do everything in between. Except when I'm sick. Then I can't do anything.

    I don't get sick much, but I always get sick when it counts. Like right now; I have my practical driving test tomorrow afternoon.

    Welp

    The trick to passing is to book the test in a low income neighbourhood where they'll pass you if it's evident you can read.

    That or give the tester a blow job.

    Really though why not stack the odds in your favour

    Ah, bravo good sir, a fine location indeed. I did mine in the Druitt myself, most degenerate bogan centre in Sydney, and the schoolplace of Casey the Punisher, and the setting of that new bogan show they're trying to get off the ground. Pretty sure you get points there for actively trying to hit pedestrians.

    It kinda isn't. Game programming especially is pretty shitty, particularly at the lower levels, where you really have to dig maths to get into it. At higher levels it's alright though. Most of the enjoyment I get out of coding is what results of it.

    That and regexes. I get a perverse enjoyment out of making especially curly ones.

    Well, it's mostly because my driving teacher suggested it because he knows the guy who does the tests there.

    Hmm, I failed my first time, but it was a woman tester. I tried to merge into a lane literally 100m away from the RTA parking lot. Some asshole behind me sped up, cut me off and honked for good measure, resulting in me veering back into my lane in a panic. I failed because of that. Blacktown, more like Cunt-town.

    Speaking about Facebook, I'm gonna stab the next one of my friends who makes another grossly misinformed statement and inflammatory comment about Indonesian abattoirs. Basically 3 'schools' of thought on my news feed:

    Those fucking Muslims are evil and a bunch of cunts

    Ban all meat exports indefinitely (even frozen meat now, apparently)

    Do nothing because it'll never change/they'll get their meat somewhere else

    HERPDERPBERP. guys I usually hate being That Guy and I would usually just shut up about it, but if you're going to be that stubborn and in your face with an opinion you have to do at least some research, surely?

    The problem is that they're my friends, with maybe the exception of two or three people who are girlfriends of friends which makes it seem kinda weird. I'm pretty sure the anti-Islamic comments are only coming out because I think the guy is drunk (though this doesn't make it ok, at all).

    The most infuriating are definitely the "ooh, we should ban meat exports" thing.

    We should not export things and give ourselves a trade deficit that sounds like a good idea.

    Just insult them using big words tef. If they drunk they won't know what you are really saying so it's all good.

    While I will say that the Four Corners report was horrific and it upsets me to think about those poor animals. Especially Brahmin cattle. They're the sookiest, most docile breed of cattle you can get. Not gonna lie, after seeing that Four Corners I had to go and stand in my paddock for a bit and pat a cow with a tear in m eye. It was fucking appalling but crippling the economy is not the answer

    You know I was just thinking that PETA volunteering to stick webcams in the abattoirs was very un-PETA of them because usually they are all "don't do this" to the point of being pricks about it.

    Then I realized they would have webcams.

    In abotoirs.

    They would stream that shit 24/7.

    PETA has had a long standing policy that animals should not be killed to further humans.

    WITH THE EXCEPTION OF.

    The fact that one of it's founding members injects insulin.

    Which comes from pigs.

    PETA has justified this by saying that this person is furthering animal rights so it's cool for those pigs to die.
