Things that piss me off:
Tech support people who tell you to upgrade instead of actually dealing with your problem.
(oh that's fixed in the latest version, I'll send you a link)
Bullshit. The version we installed was working fine last week, just do your fucking job or give me someone who will.

"We hypostasize information into objects. Rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. This is a language which we have lost the ability to read. We ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. We ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outwards once more, now in an altered form. We are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing." - Saint Horselover Fat

This:
me: the cops are already a predatory class
no one knows if they're going to rape, beat, electrocute or kill you in any encounter
and get away with it.

Politics is a celebration of the lowest areas of the Mammal brain.
Politically, the Republicans have a base that doesn't care what they say or do anymore, as long as it sounds "tough".
Since that base can sway elections, everyone kowtows to these idiot maniac Republican pundits.
The Democrats will never cease to suck the cock of the GOP until they develop their own base again. The last 8 years would have been a perfect opportunity to do so, but they were more concerned with short-term power than ideology or policy. And so now, every right wing pundit will call Obama a "communist" and will make him out to be some aberrationally left-wing person (even though he's really kind of an extension of Bill Clinton ideologically) until the end of time or the Dems fall out of power, which ever comes first. They will do this to intimidate the Democrats into obeying them even though they have no formal power at all right now.

C-4, you may appreciate this right now, or it may make things worse :)
"Trouble is, Mills explained, these serious people are fools. They seem to know what’s going on, and how to right what’s wrong with the world, only if one accepts their own view of how the world works. So “practical” are these serious people, however, that they understand nothing beyond their noses and outside the circle of their own constricted understanding and experience."

"I’ve said it elsewhere, but this is important to keep in mind about the current economic clusterfuck:
A true recovery will require three things.
1. Higher savings, which the Krugman types will hate.
2. Increased incomes via labor power, which the right-wing will hate.
3. An endless supply of patience as the bile dissipates, which we’ll all hate.
If we don’t see all three, then either we’re inflating another bubble or it’s pitchfork time. Period."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?
Well I guess the cops are now de-facto dictators, unless you are connected enough to pull strings.
* context: a drunk, off-duty cop pistol whipped someone who he thought might have punched him in a bar. After driving drunk, mind you, to find the guy.

"President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Monday that the Islamic burqa is not welcome in France". Later after a few glasses of wine he was overheard to mutter "Tits or GTFO".

Why, despite my misgivings I am still a "feminist"
P: Well, I guess she must have been raped repeatedly or something to have such a demoniacally negative opinion of the male sex. Fine, I'll die alone and the world will continue its descent down the toilet into chaos. Just lovely.
A: The "male sex" (a concept that needs deconstructing in a big way, but we'll take it at conventional value) has not been very worthwhile except as a sperm donor, until very recently.
Morally there's no justification for the way they have behaved vis a vis the "not male sex" historically.
You can call for a truce, but you certainly can't ask for acceptance of the past behaviors as "proper".
(A is me, btw)
P: Fuck you too, sugarplum.

As far as I can tell, if you could sustain a high enough fever long enough, it should kill any and all viral infections in your body.
So if we could develop a way to protect the brain, heart and lungs and induce, say, a 108-110 fever over 12 hours, that should be a "cure" for almost every viral ailment.
If someone with more medical knowledge than I knows of a good objection to this, please comment.
