You can just tell from the way people post that basic social interaction really takes its toll on them.
Gamer culture.

I know what they mean sometimes but seriously sometimes. I tend to get extremely exhausted when talking to people who are complete strangers. Now, I do perform better at interacting than many of the people posting in this forum, but still. Some of these people dont have any form of illness or problem like I do, they just fucking suck at interacting with others. Like seriously, how do they let them get to that point?
Also, to the lady who is preaching to my math class about Ebola being man made, you're fucking stupid.
welcome brother, jerk chicken or chicken curry (uk/jamican remix)
Jerk, BBQ Jerk but Curry Goat>everything else
Thanks man!
I didnt think there was such a diverse community here, I mean GAF only has 147k members but its seems like the majority or a large percentage is active lol.
Question (neither are great films imo) but whats the better film:
Paid in Full or Belly, having a little debate with friends.

I get exhausted with people too, but I don't blame society or retail policy encouraging donations. The complaints about a credit card terminal or cashier upsetting people to the point they don't know if they want to return to the store makes me wonder how they would deal with panhandlers or street hustlers in major cities, who can legitimately be ruthless and aggressive. Also, the less said about Ebola theories the better.

Paid In Full...by like 20 miles. Belly isn't good.
Yeah, I think I'm going to sell my XB1 to my dad for cheap since he's been looking for one and cop the SO bundle.
This has been a fascinating book. It is something of a rebuttal to parts of the Moynihan Report, which argued that slavery had destroyed the black family by creating a system where black fathers were historically absent (does this sound familiar yet?), which created a matrilineal system that wasn't capable of transmitting cultural values effectively. But what Gutman found was that slaves did in fact form family units, have long-lasting marriages, and maintain widespread kin networks, and that rather than being destroyed by dislocations caused by sale or death, these forced slaves to form larger kin networks which helped spread a slave culture across the entire South. It also talks about the practice of naming children after blood relatives, and how whites were ignorant of these patterns of family life because their racism prevented them from seeing it, their presumption that the family required legal expression in order to function, their presumption that slaves' failure to live up to stilted Victorian sexual morals (e.g. having children, followed by marriage, was common amongst slaves) indicated a disinterest in family life, their assumption that slaves were incapable of having a culture outside of that which was transmitted to them directly by their owners, and the fact that slaves often hid their internal life, and their institutions, from their owners.
It's pretty old (1970s), but it's still very powerful. One of the review quotes on the back calls it a "tribute," and that sounds about right. Strongly recommend it.
He must really think these cashiers care that much about him and his money. Just say no thank you and keep it moving. They hear it most of the day.

So a while back they got pulled over by the police for a routine stop thing I guess. My stepdad doesn't have a driver's license so they had to go to a court hearing today.
Mind you the court hearing was scheduled literally a day after one of his shows (he's a comedian) in Kentucky, so they had a limited time window to get from KY back to some city in GA.
They were late, and because of them being late, he was arrested.
GUESS IM POSTPONING THAT XBONE! Hhhhuuuugghhhhhhhhhhhhh :T
You are a Jags stan
Nothing too serious I hope. Wait, scratch that. Nothing that can stick I hope.
Horseback riding is exhausting. Take a break.

Called HR of the place I interviewed at on Thursday and they offered me the Staff Accountant job.
"I only have one question, your resume has your name as 'white guy' but your application says 'mexican guy', which do you prefer?"
"I prefer 'mexican guy'"
And that's how you use the system against itself.

This is what happens when you don't release kingdom hearts 3 for this long, people get crazy
Naw, that ain't it. I just always pick the path that seems the most interesting. Nothing like a little chaos to get the blood pumping.
