I'm pissed off.


The dumb incompetent fucks who pose as web developers at my job decided to just willy-nilly screw with the URL's to our site and did it in a way that it hasn't thrown up any red flags in my ad campaigns.

So for what I can tell is weeks, I've wasted thousands of dollars leading to pages that look basically broken.

Everybody that works here is terrible at their job and it makes me look bad.

Huh

Apparently International Women's Day was deemed an actual national holiday way back in 1917 in the USSR, and countries outside of the Soviet Bloc only started recognising it in the 1977, that's interesting

Yep, International Women's Day was integral to WWI as it led directly to the abdication of Nicholas II and the fall of the Russian Empire.

Back to it's roots in 1909 it was always a socialist holiday centering around women's working rights.

Based Lenin

That was Pre-Lenin returning to Russia.

OH WAIT I SEE WHATS HAPPENING HERE

Funnily enough the idea of International Women's Day started in the US in 1909. Since it was always a socialist movement, the holiday spread throughout the communist/socialist countries before finally being recognized as a national holiday in 1977. It wasn't recognized before then because of the socialist origins.

I really should read up more on the history of socialism/communism, I always find it pretty interesting.

I made it through ten seconds

so bad

Teehee

Yeah they're an...acquired taste. I fucking love them though. One of the best modern hardcore bands.

Actual emo without screaming that is fucking rad. Also kind of relevant to the day given what it's about.

I have fixed the burning house fire that is my job.


I can now return to not working.




Anybody doing anything interesting. I'm jealous of people that are outside. I have a commute then the gym so I won't be able to really enjoy it at all.

Well, I'm off to a cake tasting today.

Sometime.

Whenever they call me back cause I dunno where I'm going.

Butterbeer cake.

as tasty as butterbeer is once you realize all it is is cream soda + butterscotch it's no big deal

living in orlando it's kind of crazy to see all the tourists line up for this stuff and pay stupid amounts of money for it.

New Game of Thrones trailer has me hyped despite how much I really did not like season 5.

you know, i tried GoT a long time ago and didn't like any characters outside of Daenerys(though i've heard she's pushed too hard). slightly disappointed i've missed out on being able to communicate with people my age on things like this. oh well
 
Can't resist the bad pussy.

Sansa's three second appearance slayed my existence tbh.

Queen.

Dany's good in season one. But her character really deteriorates after that. Just a lot of yelling about FIYAH AND BLUD.

I'd still recommend the books. But the series is probably never gonna be finished at this rate.

I own the first book. Martin's writing style is tedious.

I liked the first season of GoT then got kinda bored with it.


Part of me wants to rebel against anything "pop-nerd culture" and I think GoT was way high up that ladder for a bit.


That's why I just watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. That is real quality television.

I'm stuck in this weird place between wanting to talk to other people about things that are popular and being way more critical than most people. breaking bad? meh. walking dead? not good. new starwars? nostalgia pandering etc etc though i loved GotG and Fury Road so idk

I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather on my short walk to the gym. Then I came home to sit on the couch and play more Division.
 
Dany's character is worse in the books tbh, everything after Book 3 is worse in the books.

I can't really disagree. Although, the Dorne shit they put in the show is much, much worse than the Dorne shit that was in the fourth book which was still pretty unnecessary and dumb. But the show made it much dumber.

But yes, the fourth and fifth books have their moments but are waaaaaaaaaaay too padded and almost serve as travelogues more than anything else. GRRM got too self-indulgent and he completely failed to listen to his editors.

Remember how everyone thought she was ready to start playing the game when S4 finished? Better prepare for another season of abuse :)

Seriously tho, I'm really excited to see where they take the story! Hopefully we get to see more of the Walkers and what they actually are; the Minice Morgul bit in S4 and Hardhome in S5 were so damn cool. I'll be happy if we get more of that.

And if it doesn't turn out that great I still have Penny Dreadful to look forward to <3<3<3<3
