In her brain shes like..

"Hey Bob how can we encourage patriarchal structures that work to disempower women? Oh I know! Lets make this toliet paper roll bigger.. Women wont be able to grasp it and they'll become helpless. They will run to us and then we will rape them and they will like it because social engineering bro. *fist bump*"

In my brain im like..

"Hey Bob how can we help people wipe their asses without getting shit all over their hands? Oh I know! Lets make the size of the paper bigger then typical human hand. That way everyone can use it! And lets not be cheap assholes about it either.. lets give them alot of the paper so they dont have to change the damn roll every day. YAYYY..."

It's a parody, if you see sarkeesian's videos you'll see why it's funny.

Another rambling. I find it funny when people think that buddhism is not a religion, or they don't have inner bullshit between them, or that the sutras are that good of writings, or that it's japanese, or that it didn't mutated, etc.

I guess it has to do with all the new wave age of bullshit and people just don't care. When you look at history, it's hilarious how much of everything that we think has already happened before in different ways. Same monkeys with better tools, but the problems are pretty much the same (well, maybe now we can destroy a lot of our planet, and before we were just the apex predator.

The Hungarian camerawoman that was filmed tripping and kicking refugees is claiming that she plans to sue both one of the refugees and Facebook once her trial is finished.

I read that yesterday and couldn't believe the cheek. I know some people are vehemently against this issue, but acting like she did is just not on. ESPECIALLY since she was meant to be working there!

The other day I was wondering how comes that before some of the architectural marvels took over oneself complete lifetime, and today we build just huge blocks that fuck the sky in a couple of years.

We have forgotten what it is to put a brick of a construction we'll never see (I guess educating your children is a little bit like that, but even then, we can see most results).

I was looking at Maya culture, Fuck, their whole history carved in their temples, their cosmology, their knowledge.
Notredame took almost 200 years (and it's not the one that took most).

Some of those things are pure fucking marvelous, now we have just concrete and iron (and that mostly in US, in most places iron isn't even used).

Makes you feel weird about everything. The only example I can see today is the "sagrada familia" in Barcelona.

Capitalism/wanting it built as soon as possible, and minimum wages as well as stringent health and safety issues, makes buildings get built more efficiently and less fancily these days, though they are still fuckin' expensive!
I kinda agree though, buildings made out of stone are pretty cool...

I was thinking more of the concept of working towards something you won't see, it seems so far out there in today's world.

Yep, capitalism means it has to be completed and earning ASAP.
Didn't Japan used to have 100-year mortgages? Not quite the same, is it? ;-)

I do agree that devs explanation should be "Because I fucking want to" or "Because I want their design to be appealing to aesthetics I find interesting". And not throw excuses when there is nothing to be excused.

It's fucking funny at this point.

So you are telling me that this week alone I get the new NBA season, Trails in the Sky 2, Tales of Zestiria, and my doc appointment and if all goes well I can hopefully return to work the following week? \:D/

IM READY IM READY!!! I have spent entirely too much time laying around here lately, all that time in the hospital, I more or less havent left my house in a month after my discharge on home bed rest, losing a bunch of weight then gaining alot of it back all in a matter of months. I am having to exercise a bit just to get back to normal, so I can start venturing out again, after these rough past few months.

I Was also looking into joining a martial arts dojo again, im thinking of taking up some form of Tai Chi at the local chinese martial arts school, I really wanted to continue studying shaolin kung fu but i just dont think my body can handle it right now, my auto-immune issues cause my body to attack my joints (ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders mainly) and cause them to swell and pain. I think kung fu right now would be too much physical contact where tai chi would be alot less of that and I can practice harnessing my internal strength, which this may just be my hunch, but my internal strength is probably much stronger than my external. I read some literature on tai chi back in high school while I was also taking kung fu and was doing some minor practicing so im already a little bit familiar with it.

Anyway, hopefully this week is a start to more progression to getting back to normal :)
