AWKWARD ZOMBIE

So I realized what the water was for. My cheesecake is simultaneously burned and uncooked.

I'm still gonna fucking eat it.

Are you referring to his remarks that Hawaiians are inbred retards? Or that the Philippines' only feature of note was sex tourism? Or his questioning the validity of transgendered people and suggesting that the letters LGBT be replaced with YUCK? Or the claims that women are inherently and statistically less funny than men?

As you already found out, the water is intended to turn to steam and cook the cheesecake through.

Yep.

Luckily, even though I think the top is a little too brown, mom thinks it's fine. Once it cools down I'll know for sure.

I feel like a huge piece of shit for wanting to reject this job I might be getting as a substitute bus driver. Driving a huge vehicle full of loud nasty kids makes me anxious and uncomfortable without even doing it. I really want to turn it down because my mother forced me to apply. Last time mom forced me to apply I ended up working in an old factory for three months. Fuck that and fuck this
apparently I can't get a job that isn't completely horrendous.

Welcome to the adult world. Next stop, mortages, taxes and death

It seems like no matter what I do, there's always someone there to contradict me and tell me whatever I'm thinking is dumb.
Even whenever I'm kidding about something and not being serious about it there will still be people there to say, "That's dumb."
Everyone has something contradictory to say, and even if there is someone who agrees with me, they certainly aren't vocal about it.
There can't be one person who shares my reasoning, I'm always the bad guy no matter what.
I feel like I don't belong anywhere sometimes.
Can't anyone just ignore me when I say something stupid?

All day my internet has been acting like butt nuggets.

My laptop is running hotter than usual and I'm not even playing any games at the moment or running anything intense.

I'm starting to get frustrated with a topic I have no reason to get frustrated about.
Well, I have plenty reason, but I was hoping I was more civilized than that...

Open your control panel and see if anything's running in the background. My laptop always winds up running things I'm not using at the moment, like Hamachi or Steam.

Pretty Much! I don't get offended very easily, if at all, but he doesn't know where the joke ends and being a racist dick begins. A local radio station has him on every wednsday. Woke up to his bullshit and the dj's awkwardly laughing along.

Also, someone drank my coke at work.

I'm beginning to question my moral ethics, I'm considering whether murders, wars and such are a necessary evil to prevent future overpopulation.

I realise murders and wars are horrible but I keep thinking about it.

You're just having exploratory thoughts - thinking 'outside the box' as it were. Just be wary of ever excusing murder as a 'necessary evil' because it has 'beneficial results' such as reducing population - taking another sentient/sapient beings' life should never be excused.*

Overpopulation is capable of correcting itself - for example higher densities of people are more susceptible to disease because so many people are living in close proximity to one another. With antibiotics becoming progressively less effective we may well be headed toward an epidemic of sorts which will see a 'natural' reduction in population.

War itself is arguably created by overpopulation - the demand for resources creating competition between peoples/nations - to the point at which they are prepared to kill one another for commodity X/Y/Z.

In more developed countries you tend to get a higher incidence of people choosing to have less or no children as well - so overpopulation can correct itself that way too. Also in some countries a limit of one child per couple is enforced - I'm not sure how I feel about that - but when you live in a country like the UK where 'professional skivers' have up to and over 10 children just so they can receive benefit payments and not have to work - it doesn't seem like such a drastic measure.


*You can argue for executing those who have no respect for life though - i.e. murderers (capital punishment).

i just remembered something really cute my old boyfriend did once and now i'm upset/mad that i'm upset

Thanks for the response, DND. I wasn't aware of antibiotics becoming less effective so I hadn't considered disease as much.

I also agree with the point you made on murder, even if it might prove to be beneficial to the overall population in that way, someone's life is far too intricate to waste for it.

I hadn't fully counted the reluctance of having children in the more developed countries as well so that's a helpful point.

In any case, I think trying to see the effects of things like this (although it could be on a happier note) to be quite refreshing.
