A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the (Obsidian) Forum

What my mother witnessed this morning:

She was waiting to see her family doctor, when another woman unpacked a bowl, poured cereal in it and mixed that with yoghurt. If you don't have time for breakfast at home...

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Uh...not really a funny, but there's no "lifestyles/cats/cooking" thread so.

Japanese guy who occasionally posts short how-to cooking video, with his cats always in the picture. I wish he'd do a lot more of them, because I love them.

He and his (from US) wife also use their own channel with blog/Japan culture/lifestyle videos which can be cute/fun.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

I felt like a dummy when it was explained to me

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

I found it funny with the smaller Twitter icon covering the guys face, and to be fair, he's the Foriegn Minister, his party wouldn't matter.

Bit surprised Kushner is meeting with him and not Tillerson because Tillerson is the Secretary of State (counterpart to Kono Taro), not Kushner. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised as Trump has been treating this like its a family operation.

Those fools! Google tells me that donating plasma will net ~$400/month, while donating male reproductive fluids will net ~$1000/month. Not you Europeans, youre shooting blanks.

Problem is there is a much stricter screening process for that. Then they throw it away and the doctor uses his own sample instead.

Hey! I get a juicebox for my pint of O-

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I get juice and a biscuit for mine. Or a cup of tea instead of the juice, if you're that way inclined. It's sheer decadence here in kiwiland.
