America will have to guarantee it is secure in its dysfunction by having another government showdown or shutdown like Mitch McConnel is promising.
I realize that hoping for something like that to happen purely for the political fallout to damage the image of the Republicans is a bad thing for me to say and probably makes me a bit of a bastard.

I guess you could say the naysayers are trying to throw cold water on everyone's good intentions.
They're really raining on people's parade.
They're causing people's good muscle to atrophy from misuse due to a degenerative and fatal condition of haterade.
I'm pretty sure the ice bucket challenge is just people wanting to feel connected to other people on some level.
I'm just feeling really annoyed at people shitting on it
Like at the VERY WORST, the ice bucket challenge is just people having a bit of fun with each other online. Yeah it's sort of a meme or fad or whatever, but it's one that's just silly fun and is free and doesn't hurt nobody. It's got the schadenfreude of the cinnamon challenge but without the permanent lung damage and risk of asphyxiation!
As a fundraiser even if the person doing it doesn't donate, the people they challenge might, it's basically gameifying charity. It's also a great tool for raising awareness and social acceptance of ALS, Americans have probably mentioned ALS more in two weeks than they have in the last 2 years.
And meanwhile the people complaining don't even have like, an actual point against it. They're just bitching to bitch, because how dare sheeple dump water on their heads in the summer! I've actually seen people complain that well in Africa they don't have adequate fresh water so this is really NO STOP IT SHUT UP. And I have yet to see a single person complaining about the fundraiser who have themselves given a fuckin' dime to research charity, which just goes to show how utterly morally bankrupt the stupid argument against it is. How dare people have fun AND donate to a charity, when you could sit on your ass and not do anything and yet feel superior.

Heart attack follows binge-drink session
The ice challenge has become popular around the world including the US. The ice challenge has become popular around the world including the US.
A man suffered a heart attack and died after a heavy drinking session during which he had a bucket of ice poured over his head as part of a social media game.
Willis Tepania, a 40-year-old father from Kaitaia, took the "ice challenge" on Saturday night. He is believed to have then consumed a large quantity of Jim Beam bourbon in a matter of minutes - sources told the Herald possibly as much as a full-litre bottle. Five hours later he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Yeaaaah doc, clearly it's the ice water challenge that's the problem here.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Any damage probably won't be long term damage.
one can hope
it'd be the only worthwhile thing to actually come out of a government shut down

counter argument:
I want no part in an irl meme that involves a bucket of ice water regardless of the cause it's supporting and that doesn't make me an asshole.
And to the dude who called me an asshole because of it: Fuck you, I already donated $200 to support ALS research and I didn't need a fucking meme to do so.

Who wants to be my Sim's life partner
It won't be weird because it's just the sims
Fair warning I might make the sims do weird stuff together
But again, not technically weird

Drawing cool looking waves algorithmically is a real pain in the ass, no wonder nintendo spent like 10 years making windwaker and never finished it.

Also the Mexicans are having a blast fucking with the Gringo.
it is a shame
Yeaaaah doc, clearly it's the ice water challenge that's the problem here.
It's still all basically a disaster, last I checked
But they insist they know what they're doing!
Just remember, Deebaser, you're American
This is your land by divine right
We're more scared of you than you are of us
Now a cattle prod. It is so fuck with the gringo day.
I love it.
I would link, but you know, work-internet firewall. Sry

Sadly I keep moving eastward - I'm in the wilds east of the GTA and before you get close to the next city of any significance ... Kingston :P
Looking for cheaper or simpler?
Either. We're getting in at 1:30 and don't underlie stand your north of the wall moon culture

We had our work summer outing with open bar and shit
I only had like 4 drinks and I'm going home now so I can sleep and gym tomorrow, it's like 10:30
I'm not going to the after party and I'm not sloshed
Usually would be rangers and most ppl would come in crazy late the next day or work from home
To be fair this one was tamer than others in the past, perhaps due to the setting and missing some key individuals who were party folk
Ah well
I'm old and lame now
