    Oh, those aren't for fashion, they're to lull my enemies into a false sense of security.

    But I too find it distasteful.

    I've got a single shot 12 gauge built into one, and a flask in the other. Gotta remember which is which before I stick it in my mouth though, I'd hate to accidentally end up too drunk to manage a headshot ;)

    Just back from a meal out at a country restaurant where I purchased two JD and Coke. I asked to pay for them separately. Okay, that's £15.37, said the girl at the till. My knees turned to jelly. Fifteen quid for a couple of JDs and coke! I exclaimed. They were doubles, she said.

    I never even asked for doubles!

    Spending money hurts me, in an actual physical sense, I mean.

    Drink at home, it saves a tonne of money, and you won't get paper cuts from
    having to fiddle with your cash either. Win/Win Also you can control the
    difference between a single and a double. Besides a bottle of Jack is just about
    $20 here, so if you do the math you pretty much could buy a bottle for what you
    spent on 2 drinks.

    I know! And now it hurts even more. When I think of the useless crap I could've bought on amazon for £15 !!

    I had a $14.87 Bloody Mary at the airport in Chicago.

    It was good, so I had another. Wasn't going to waste the time to change my dollars back to yen, was I?

    I so wish I could adopt the same attitude to spending money. Things would be so much easier.

    That’s too much.

    There must be something better to do with douchebags.

    ^^ This. I don't like spending a 20 euro note, and I hate handing over a 50. They are sacred notes in my house. Not to be broken, only saved. Unless there is some kind of emergency.

    I'm not rich, but I'm half-comfortable. This:

    [​IMG]

    is about $89, €77, or £67, and if I don't have at least one of them in my pocket, I know it's time to hit the ATM. Japan is still largely a cash-based society, and things are expensive here, so you'd be amazed at how quickly these guys disappear after payday (which is once a month).

    It's so hard to talk to procreators and people who don't know depression's embrace sometimes.

    [​IMG]This is a FIVER, and worth about 30 000 of your Yankee/johnee doubloons, pieces of eight or that new currency the dollo your supposed President is so fond of circulating to the minutemen hobbits.

    I get annoyed when horrors we have seen in history start to rice again.

    Communism was 99% identity politics. It killed and slaved hundred of millions.

    Natsim - National Socialism - together with communism took this planet to WW2, holocaust... And it was also based on identity politics.

    Ku Klux Klan - identity politics and segregation all over.

    Khmehr Rouge, arab socialism, North Korea... Everything... Identity politics and segregation all over.

    And now this flood of neo-marxistic identity politics and ideas of segregation that is the ideology behind concentration camps and totalitarism is draging us towards WW3.

    And the annoying thing?

    Some immoral bastards lie that they have good intentions and some people try to cover all the evilness because their selfish agendas. They ride this flood knowing millions will die because of their selfishness.

    Watch and cry. These singers sing against segregation, not for it.

    How whenever I synchronize in towns in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, I have to have Kassandra climb up to the top of a statue or a temple whereupon the only way down is to leap off and almost kill myself on the landing. Why couldn’t she just do it on the ground like a normal person?

    The fact that I can almost, but not quite, afford these and can in no way justify their purchase:

    I find the most infuriating thing known to man that is completely and utterly inconsequencetial(?) is being stuck behind someone that walks either slightly too slow, or he’d just the wrong gait so you need to constantly look down and make sure you do not step on his feet.... arrrrrg.:supermad:

    I'm eager to know under what circumstances you find yourself in this situation, without the option to simply step to the side and overtake them.
