Err, if someone's selling you meatless wings, isn't nomenclature the least of your problems?

Naw, nobody was selling me those. It's a sign I keep seeing on restaurants 'round here "WE NOW HAVE MEATLESS (sorry) BONELESS WINGS!".

Not Boneless?

Because I'm picturing bones with fried skins covered in sauce.

Well, some people don't count chicken as "meat".

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

There are lots of cultures who make the distinction between fowl, fish, and terrestrial meats, as evidenced by the way we'll use fowl or fish to refer to meats from those animals when we want to be more precise. It's not strictly the fault of idiots that meat is the only single word we have for "flesh of an animal" that doesn't mean something more specific other than "flesh".

Of course, meatless wings is something I'd never order at a restaurant.

What I learned today: If I fuck up and leave a soda on my desk overnight, I will wake up to a goddam hippie commune of ants crawling all over my shit.

I kind of knew that already but it's still irritating, but at least now I know that they can be dealt with pretty easily with some 409 and a paper towel.  There's not a lot of places on a big flat sheet of glass for them to hide.

Still though, I'm going to be overreacting to minor tingles ALL DAY.

One time, I was sitting at my computer when I began to hear a noise. It sounded a bit like a trickle of water... maybe some rice krispies in milk, or the sound a plastic bag makes once you've just crinkled it up.

Upon investigation, I found an errant shrimp tail on my floor... being devoured by a murder of ants. Loudly.

Grossest thing ever.

But for some reason all this makes me want to do is play SimAnt, which in retrospect was not very good.

ADVENTURES IN TERRIBLE ROOMMATES, PART THE WHATEVER:

Last Tuesday, I went grocery shopping! I bought, among other things, two small pizzas, a pound or so of frozen raviolis, some onions, a dozen eggs, and some macaroni and cheese.

Cut to Saturday evening: I got home from work, and thought to myself, a pizza sounds pretty great right now! I went to the freezer, to discover that both of my pizzas are gone. I did a quick mental tally of my remaining foodstuffs, and realized that in THREE DAYS, she had eaten both pizzas, half of my ravioli, all of my macaroni & cheese, half of my dozen eggs, one of my onions, an entire half of a loaf of bread, and most of the gallon of milk I had bought the week before.

Now, normally I wouldn't mind, except she didn't even ask if she could eat any of it, she left me hardly anything to eat, and I can't go shopping again until I get paid tomorrow. I've managed to get by on what was left, plus the food I have that she won't eat, but my anger at this is compounded by the fact that she is perfectly capable of buying her own goddamn food. She gets food stamps, and there is literally a grocery store right across the street. She's just too lazy to walk, and so entitled and inconsiderate that she thinks it's perfectly okay to eat all of my food when hers runs out.

Then, on Sunday, she tried to pick a fight with me on facebook when I said I was deleting my facebook account due to privacy concerns. When I slapped down her arguments, she tried to claim that I was attacking her for stating an opinion, when she never stated an opinion, she just came out of nowhere and attacked my very real concerns about facebook's repeated misuse of private information. Then she pulled the Internet Argument Tactic of going, "Whatever, I've got better things to do", and leaving...except she didn't leave, she stuck around and tried to argue more with me AND my friends who were agreeing with me.

Since that evening, she hasn't said a word to me, which leads to TODAY, when she left without saying where she was going or for how long, and leaving her dog locked in a tiny cage in her room, with no food and very little water. She had some sort of overnight bag when she left, so I'm assuming she'll be gone until at least tomorrow.

So I did what I think anyone would do: I went into her room, let her dog out, and took him for a walk. He's now playing with my dog in the living room, and they both seem very happy to see each other(she usually keeps him in her room except when she takes him outside to go to the bathroom, so they very rarely get to see each other).

I still haven't decided if I'm going to lock him back up when I leave for work, or just let him roam free. She's done an incredibly shitty job of housebreaking him, because like I said before, she's extremely lazy, so I'm worried about letting him free in the house. I might just put him back in her room, but leave him loose; it already reeks of piss anyway.

Sounds a lot like my old roommate.

I wouldn't recommend leaving her dog to make a mess in her room. I did all kinds of passive-aggressive things like that to take out my anger on her, and while it felt good at the time, I really regret it in retrospect.

My best recently started an open relationship with his wife, so she could explore relationships with women. The problem is, this seems to have turned him into Creepy Womanizer. After a certain level of drunkenness at bars and parties, he simply ignores conversations or interactions with friends and focuses exclusively on hitting on every single woman he can find. There's a certain level of misogyny to it, especially when he makes comments about other women's bodies, and lately it's been creeping out my girlfriend something fierce, to the point where she doesn't feel comfortable around him.

When confronted, he of course acted like she was the crazy one.

Yeah, I was pleased to see this bit in Ars's troll-crackdown post t'other week:

Quote
Anti-trolling efforts aren't about silencing discord or competing points of view, although the unimaginative troll will always claim that it is.

Would be even better if they could keep their subjects and verbs straight, but still and all, I have been quoting it at "You're just mad because I have a different opinion!" trolls at every opportunity.

____[Person]____,

I will explain this one final time.

I could give a fuck that you have a different opinion from mine.  The problem is that, by your own admission, you do not wish to have a conversation, you simply wish to state opinions which are unsupported by facts and then cry when anyone disagrees with you.  Furthermore, when ____an action that [Person] does____, you change the subject and start ____another action that [Person] does____.

Quote from: [Person!
]A quote by [person] goes here]

See that?  Precisely what in the hemorrhaging FUCK does that have to do with __subject__, the stated subject matter for the ___place___ board?

You want to write a thread all about ___person, place, or thing___?  Fucking great.  It's been done, but if you want to do it again, knock yourself out.

If, on the other hand, you want to keep posting in __another place__, you're going to have to start using facts and logic and quit whining every time someone points out that you are citing as facts things that are completely fucking wrong.  (Or, you know, you could stop citing as facts things that are completely fucking wrong.  But I'm willing to settle for baby steps.)

I have been over all this ___insert person, place, or time___.  I'm not going to explain it again.  The next time you whine about how ___new person___ persecuting you for having a difference of opinion, I will simply quote this post -- or one of the many, many others which say the same thing in different words --, possibly with some bolded text.

In summation: That's stupid.  You're stupid.

In grocery stores here (even the regular ones) there's a lot of frozen asian dumplings/pork buns/dim sums available in many shapes, sizes and types. I'll get these sometimes for lazy lunches.

So I got a couple of cheap packs of sui mei yesterday (I don't usually get these as the cost-to-quantity ratio is much lower for dim sums etc.). They were in a ice-cube like tray, wrapped in transparent plastic with a label over the middle. The tray appears to be 5 x 2 cups (implying 10 pieces). When I opened the package, the middle two cups (conveniently obscured by the label) were empty. This was not a packaging mistake - all the packages I got were like this.

HAHA YOU GUYYYS. YOU SURE GOT ME.

FUCKFACES!
