[Chat] is Waiting

DeebaserDeebaser on my way to work in a suit and a tieAhhhh...come on fucking guyRegistered User regular
edited April 2013 in Debate and/or Discourse
[chat], there comes a time when even a strong, well-dressed man must admit defeat.

It has been a long time since we broke up and you left me standing in the rain outside of your condo. As I walked home that evening, it never would have crossed my mind that four years from now you would not have returned to me, that you would have nearly gotten married, that you would not even receive one of my phone calls. Or my letters, text messages, faxes, or instant messages.

Four years ago this would have been inconceivable that you, my one true [chat], could have stayed away from me for this long. Do you not remember how it once was? We were like two love prospectors who discovered richer and richer veins of pure ecstasy. We would bump and grind in the dimly lit tunnels as shining white donkeys would carry wagons of our love to be washed off and then smelted down into fine pieces of jewelry, which I would place on your naked chocolate body while you slept. When you awoke, we would freak again.
How could a love this sexy end? After many long nights in my round circular bed wondering, and long days looking at myself in my large oval mirror, I have come to the realization that we may never do the nasty again.

Damn.

I just wanted to use this opportunity to say that no matter what happens in my life or what happens I will be here, waiting for you. Even if I am married, living in the suburbs with three children, if you were to send me a note saying "Let's give it another chance" I would immediately abandon my life, rent out my old penthouse apartment, take my clothes out of storage, and immediately start creating a sumptuous dinner or breakfast for me to feed you, depending on the time of the day it was. That is what you mean to me.
I would, at this point, like to ask any women that I am currently dating to stop reading this column.

So, [chat], if you doubt that I no longer love you, I ask you to remove that doubt, for this love is deep. Too deep to fade by the mere passage of time. If you worry about how you have treated me in the past, which, I think we both can admit, was cold, I would say that having you back in my arms was worth the pain and torment I have endured by your absence. If you worry that we will no longer be physically compatible, that somehow we will no longer be able to light the fuse of the atom bomb that is our sexuality, I have to say, you know that not to be true.

While a small sliver of hope will always remain inside of me, Deebaser has come to the hard understanding that you are not coming back to me. It is like a part of Deebaser has died and, for this part, he has begun to grieve. I am not certain of which stage of the mourning process it is that one begins making lists, but Deebaser has begun making them. I now present to you Deebaser's Happiest Memories Of When We Were Together:

#5: That time I broke you off nasty outside of that club.
#4: Making love until the dawn on Christmas morning.
#3: The night you invited your friend Cherise into our bedroom and I then hand-fed both of you the succulent berries before getting freaky with both of you in my whirlpool.
#2: The many nights you rode my pony until I couldn't take it anymore.
#1: Waking up before you, and just holding you in my arms until you woke up and then hitting you doggy-style until you lost your mind.

That is only one list of many. I have many complex emotions to work though. And while my hair remains impeccable and my clothes are fresh, the feelings that lie beneath Deebaser's surface roil like a volcano waiting for you to calm the tempest by saying those three little words; "I need you." If you were to add the words "now" or "right here on the floor" I would have no problem with that.
Even if you are not interested in once again contacting Deebaser, arranging a time to meet, getting picked up in fine white automobile, dancing all night at a popular nightspot, enjoying a late dinner before being loved so hard and long you will think your heart may explode from pure 100 percent uncut pleasure, I will accept this. It has taken Deebaser a long time and many heart-to-heart talks with my main man, Darnell, but I have come to grips with the situation.

What Deebaser would like you to understand is this: No matter where you are or who you are with, there is a man who smells of exotic lotions who loves you and wants you to be happy. And if you are ever need another taste, Deebaser will always be here, ready to break you off some.
Deebaser out.

    Ronya - Explain the economic theories most often subscribed to be dogs.

    @spacekungfuman
    Humans are notorious for our dislike of injustice. It rankles us to see others being rewarded or penalised unfairly. We not only have the capacity to recognise when someone else is being rewarded beyond their efforts, but the inclination to punish them for it, often at personal expense. But other species behave in the same way – recent studies have found that capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees also have the ability to compare their payoffs and efforts to those of their peers, and they too frown on unequal rewards. ...

    Together with colleagues from Austria, Range compared the reactions of pairs of dogs as they were rewarded with food for giving their paws to a human partner. When both dogs were rewarded with a piece of dark bread, both offered their paws for the vast majority of 30 trials. But if one was rewarded and the other not, the spurned animal stopped cooperating at some point and on average, they only offered their paw in two-thirds of the trials. They were also visibly more distressed, scratching themselves, yawning and avoiding the gazes of their partners. And when they did play along, they did so more hesitantly, making Range ask for their paws more often before they gave in.

    i-5780e50567a89b6c4af9cd27753d5f29-Dogsreward.jpg

    Their behaviour didn’t change simply because they weren’t being remunerated. If the dogs were tested alone, they took much longer to stop cooperating when the rewards stopped coming than they did in the presence of another dog, and they showed fewer signs of stress.

    So they clearly value equality, but only to a certain extent. Range found that they weren’t sensitive to the quality of their reward or to the efforts they went through to receive it. If one dog was given dark bread while the other was given a much more delectable piece of sausage, neither refused their paws. Likewise, both animals continued to cooperate as long as they both received food, even if one didn’t have to stick its paw out for it.

    Monkeys react differently. They care about the quality of the food they are offered rather than just its presence and they will react negatively if a peer is given a much tastier morsel, like a grape instead of a slice of cucumber. Do dogs think in a fundamentally different way? Range believes that the question is too difficult for these results to answer fully. Certainly, the owners of all the dogs in the study confirmed that their pets would normally work harder for a sausage than a piece of bread. ...

    Range also found that the dogs were only sensitive to unfair situations where they lost out. Those that were given food never rejected it, even if their partners got nothing. Monkeys, on the other hand, will sometimes reject food if other monkeys receive none, paying a cost to maintain an even standing with their neighbours. Humans, of course, do the same.

    Well, it was more, "Amb thow humkbreh."

    Maybe what she was saying was "Have some homebrew..."

    ie she wants some beer

    My wife worked in the oldest pub in England for four years. She knows a lot about beer, but doesn't like any of it.

    She's the same way with wine. Her palette could enable her to be the world's first wine-hating master sommelier.

    Continuing from last thread:

    Alright I think I've identified whos office I need to go bitch at. My university no longer has an ombudsman, but the dean of students sounds like the right office?

    Anyway summary of complaints:

    -Teacher herself has cancelled class for personal problems on two occasions, does not allow students this exception
    -Zero tolerance attendance policies violate the school's mission
    -25% of total grade for being a few minutes late seems like an excessive punishment
    -Teacher ridiculed one of the students for pleading with her in front of other students, is very unprofessional
    -If this is what I can expect from future classes I'm dropping out after this semester (this isn't supposed to be a threat, it's just a fact, there are 2 other slightly better universities within driving distance and at least at the moment my GPA is more than high enough to get in both of them)

    Instead of e-mailing I want to go in person, because in my last me vs faculty college dispute nothing got solved until I showed up in someone's office and refused to leave until results happened

    Good idea y/n
