[X] My Assistant

Not according to the nice lady I was introduced to. I'm sure she wouldn't want to be called Ms. FUCKS.

If you have a television show, it's funny to call a character Wraith when they fake their own death, and then come back.

No.

I learned that people are impressed by the dumbest things RE: government.

"I put the whitehouse petition link on my wall. Its the most phenominally incredible thing to be able to write and post your own petitions, and sign others on key issues effecting how you live. No you arent throwing an email down a well. Somebody has to pay attention to those things and respond to them or mr. Obama wont get his job back. So no its not a waste of time. This is the most easily accessible president ever, and this petition idea is going to get us closer to a true democracy. Where everybody votes the issues, not just electing people who dont do what we wnt them to do. Its the coolest thing ive seen in my lifetime."

Good job, you are impressed by the government allowing you to think that they give a shit about your opinion. But they don't. So... you know...

Stab yourself in the face.

I learned people still think petitions accomplish anything.

Didn't exactly learned this today but on several "tours" I have taken... anywho:

I learned that governments can be stopped by a barrel of a gun - vie la revolution!

It's a good thing they don't accomplish anything. People sign petitions to do absolutely anything and give no thought whatsoever to the consequences. If the US suddenly switched from democratic republic to a direct democracy, the entire country would literally be on fire by the end of the week.

and since i can't link my email, copy and paste:

"Dear Miguel,

Big news! For weeks, the Discovery Channel refused to show the stunning conclusions of its own Frozen Planet documentary series that showed the devastating effects that climate change has had on the North and South Poles -- and the danger it portends for the rest of the planet.

But just hours after Claudia Abbott-Barish's Change.org petition hit 75,000 signatures, Discovery backed down, and agreed to air the final episode (all about climate change) in its entirety!

It's another sign that something different is happening all over the world. Every day, people are taking a stand on local, state and national issues that matter to them, and they're winning.

Change.org has a simple goal -- enable anyone, anywhere, to start, join and win campaigns about issues that are important to them. We're a community of more than 5 million people, and together we've achieved some amazing victories.

In the last few weeks, people have used the Change.org platform to stop young people from being deported, save homes from foreclosure, and force big banks to drop outrageous fees for using a debit card. A Burmese monk living in Brooklyn successfully petitioned Hillary Clinton to speak out forcefully about political prisoners in his home country. An animal lover stopped a shelter in North Carolina from slaughtering thousands of dogs. A Syrian activist got Western tech companies to stop supplying spying technology to the violent Syrain regime. Two LGBT teens in Michigan pushed their state legislature to drop a harmful exemption from an anti-bullying law.

It's amazing to watch. And, if you're like me, you can't wait to see what happens next."




Proven wrong, but then again, that's what happens with blanket statements.

I learned people still think petitions accomplish anything.

Even if petitions don't get any reaction, they still let people see how many others are with them on the subject, and active enough to read and sign. It's a step to possible further activism in the future.

Well, she should, because that's her name.

Or not due to the disparaging nature of petitions.

Actually petitions are about the only way to get things on the ballot if youre an average citizen... at least as I've been led to understand, and since im not a citizen I cant vote so naturally I don't take an explicit interest in local politics and how to get propositions on the ballot, though I do read up on what legislature is trying to be passed.

There's a big difference between legislative petition and name-signing demonstrations. Many municipalities require petitions to get new laws and codes and other civil actions (like getting a traffic signal installed on a busy intersection) enacted. Signing your name because your favorite show got canceled is not the same thing.



Symbionic Titan ;_;

I'm still addicted to beer.
I confirmed I know how to orgasm, without touching my thingy, using proper shaped tool in the hole shaped thing.
Can't recommend trying it. It feels like convulsions and can cause painful muscle spasms.
If you're lucky, you'll die trying.
When properly done. you can expect sperm, pee, muscle pain, death.

Stop jacking off with beercans.

Ah you guys were just talking about run of the mill online petitions for completely unnecessary things like...

Angel, season six D-;

I was actually talking about whitehouse.gov's petition thing. Which is hilarious.

I learned that if yetis exist, then they probably inspired the Jötunheimr character of Norse mythology. And that Thor's Hammer, if it actually did anything, and was actually a real type of blunt weapon, was actually powered by alien technology that, for some reason, was left over here.

I haven't seen Tomb Raider Underworld's ending yet, but I bet that's it.

I learned removesdust is likely another dupe account. I'd ignore-list him if not for my morbid curiosity as to what he might say next.

Fair point. I'm not sure what possessed me to make a blanket statement like that in the first place. Wishful thinking, maybe.

You have a funny definition of the word "learned." Though, I guess I'm one to talk...
