Oh ffs! The boiler was repaired today and worked a solid 3-4 hours before replicating the previous fault. This makes it a week without a boiler that works for more than a couple of hours

It seems typical of America that the answer to "so what happens if you have a life-threatening condition and need crucial medicines to stay alive" is "it's complicated and there are a lot of cracks to fall through"
This went about the way I expected, but I wish they had selected a black actor who matched the white guy in size and stature, rather than age.
Because honestly, the black actor cut a much less intimidating figure. Race surely plays a part here, obviously, but the black actor is simply scrawnier, less physically imposing, and that plays into it as well.
People would have been less emboldened, I believe, if the black actor had been as large as the white actor.
Perhaps, but alternatively maybe they would have been even more aggressive because he would have fit more the stereotypical image of a young black male criminal
in either case I agree it would have been better to try to equalize those differences

Have you been getting good restful sleep? I know I get eye twitches when I've gone a couple of days with only less than 4 good hours of sleep.
Probably less than 7 hours the past two days. Though I usually have no trouble. I think it's probably the stress as it happened about halfway through today right after release went out and calls poured in about new features.

not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Jeepguy: yeah, good thinking. It's not exactly a scientific experiment. Also, I don't know how selective they were with editing there, or how obvious the cameraman was.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Hahaha yeah because if there is a large dude stealing something I'm going to be more aggressive if he's bigger then I am. Yeah fucking right.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
right, and i understand you didnt invoke evolution specifically and am thus going to plead Dobzhansky and implicit bias given our conversations yesterday.
Jeepguy: yeah, good thinking. It's not exactly a scientific experiment. Also, I don't know how selective they were with editing there, or how obvious the cameraman was.
still interesting though, but these were my thoughts as well
also i am reminded of that video where the guy played really loud drums at night and got people to tell him to stop, but when he broadcast a really loud taped argument that sounded violent

more aggressive in chastising him, I mean
but also remember this was a public park is broad daylight, and most of the people approached him in a group, including several large crowds of 10+ people
it's not like a one-on-one confrontation in a dark alley

no one helped
I can't help but look at this from an economist's standpoint for some reason
My mind has gotten so sick of all the psychological and philosophical discussion over Kitty Genovese I guess

I'd just call the police and give them all the info. There is zero reason to risk ones self over someone elses property.

Quite possible. I know the sleep is generally the part that activates my twitch. Stress only serves to activate my mouth and make observations that a greater man would have just zenned out.

that doesn't matter all that much

AKA Insurance Review boards.
I hear potassium deficiency can cause some twitching.
So shove those bananas down your through like you're a closeted sailor on shore leave.
in an interview he said that originally they were going to be part of the same movie.
I even have a twist, after an hour of wet hot sex between the two of them, Helen Mirren joins in. Bam motherfucking oscar caliber.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
If I wanted to watch old snatch I'd go through my Guy Ritchie collection
Holocaust denial, DENIED!
I want to celebrate with him the amount of haggis available today.
(because it's so good)
The dialogue was top notch though.
potassium deficiency OR sodium overload can both cause twitching, if i recall how nerves work
Nah, I support the government sponsored death panels.
Y'know, the ones manned by doctors and health professionals that have actual souls and want to do right by people.

This works best if you said "Guy Ritchie's home movies."

yeah the titular quote is what i was going for with that statement
i hated that thing. felt forced and really was just unnecessary. i also i didn't like the entire premise.

This is gold.
That's the only avatar I've ever had on these boards.
I'd hazard a guess that you've only just seen it cause you arrived to [chat] when I was newly jailed :P
I might be getting a new avatar soon though, and a new name by virtue of Tube's thing-a-ma-jiggy he hosts every now and then.

you are doing an economics degree yes?
or have one already?

Did you intend on having everyone refer to you as Fart? Does it bring levity to your day or displeasure to your disposition?
With Great Concern and Well Wishes,
DUE
