At the end of the day, I think it is somewhat offensive and shows a lack of morals and empathy for somebody to rant about how they don't like what another person decides to do to their own body. Having preferences is a normal thing, but getting upset that people outside the range of your preferences exist is a little bigoted. There are plenty of girls who don't have tattoos Sonnington. No need to get angry. It's not so much arguably mutilation. It's more an extreme limits to the definition and disingenuous to compare clearly permanent physical disfigurement to drug intake. I would also agree that I'm against obesity and find it gross too. The rest of your post is similarly extremist and disingenuous. I think the best analogy I can give is this. Lip stretching is gross mutilation that permanently closes off job opportunities. Don't do lip stretching, especially girls! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://culturalbeauty.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/5815044093_11e3fe6b22.jpg) Out of curiosity, Ketera, where do you stand on transabled individuals? | ||

So, a few things. First of all, having never met a transabled person, or spoken to someone who knows one, I'd be uncomfortable judging or making any sort of opinion on the matter. People have all sorts of problems with their lives. I've got my own and I've had a lot of difficulty in life with people making ignorant judgements and opinions about my own issues. So I hope these transabled people are doing okay and I'd leave it at that. Second of all, it seems to me that equating a condition effecting as many as 40(!) people worldwide to something as ubiquitous as a tattoo, as if to imply that they are similar, is fairly silly. It sounds like there are so few people experiencing this that I probably do not need to have an opinion in the first place. And third of all, saying something like "lip stretching is gross" I feel like is fairly closed minded and ignorant. I'd imagine the people who do it don't think it's gross. And I'd imagine in the cultures where its practiced, it doesn't limit your job opportunities. You know, when I was in therapy after I attempted suicide at the ripe young age of 14, we had a lot of group therapy. There's something the therapists told us there that I've found very useful in my life. It basically went like this. "Lip stretching is gross" is an accusatory statement, and will offend people who disagree with you. "I think lip stretching is gross" or "I feel grossed out by lip stretching" is just a statement of personal opinion and does not try to force that opinion on others. So it will not offend people who disagree with you. I think you could get a lot out of this lesson as well. <3 | ||

The Fate/Stay Night remake? (the latest one is a remake right?) Fate/Stay Night - Unlimited Blade Works is a huge downgrade from Fate/Zero, but it's a fairly natural choice. I'd recommend Yuri Kuma Arashi. Hue. | ||

I come back from work to see what I'd hoped was my working computer, but they only fixed something and not everything, so now half the ports on my motherboard are still dead. And my Dad, seeing this, has fiddled with the computer and accidentally rolled back the graphics card drivers, leaving me with the base Microsoft driver, so my dual monitor is dead and everything on the one working monitor is more or less broken. Teut long didn't read is that they didn't really fix much of anything and my dad hath worsened the situation. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck | ||

Less inconvenience than a week of repair hold up that barely did anything. =\ Imo, unless it's a C/GPU, fuck it. If I can't fix it myself it probably isn't worth getting fixed. | ||

We just brought it to an IT store because they offered a diagnostic that they could do in a day or two; why not do that first as a safety precaution? Would only delay it by a day. Except when it took, like, a week. And they didn't really fix it. And now we have to go find the graphics card driver. And we need a motherboard anyways. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh Step 1: Stop fucking with it. Step 2: Get a new GPU if that's what you intend to do. Step 3: Worry about the driver later, its not like you're going to be able to use it right now anyway. If you really have to that shit can be googled and put on a flash drive. | ||

Ultimate Frisbee 6v6 hype this Friday with friends/friend's friends who play in college. I know there's a few guys who play here. Also, I just found out there's extra chapters for Kuroko, where an American streetball team makes fun of Japan, so its time for GoM revival lol. Really fun week for me right now. | ||
