It is not that I am tired, nor that I am particularly sleepy.  I just do not want to be awake right now.

Set realistic goals, and 'they' will tell you to be more ambitious.

'They' suck.

Nuclear war is like bringing a hand grenade

Fully half of all business decisions come down to, "I do not like that guy".

No one should ever feel entitled to a relationship if they have nothing to offer.

if i own a monochrome photograph or a monophonic audio recording, i have the right to colorize the photo and stereoize the recording if i so choose. as long as a copy of the originals survive, the original author of said items has no standing with me.

Getting people to admit they've been deceived is often more difficult than deceiving them.

Most humans never really fall in love or even feel real love for each other, and most of them get a romantic interest only because of social pressure and their fear of being forever alone.

That's why it's so much easier to say "I love pizza" or "I love my cat" than it is to say "I love you" to another human. And when most humans do tell each other they love them they don't mean it, it's just something you're supposed to say so that you don't look like a heartless psychopath.

Pronouncing the letter Z as "zed" is just stupid. It doesn't even rhyme with any of the other letters and when you sing the Alphabet song it ruins the ending because it doesn't rhyme. But I have to pronounce it zed or I send the entire country back about 50 years. I'm already practically doing that because I pronounce "sorry" as saw-ry and not soar-ry, but I really can't help it. I also don't like hockey and never say "eh", and whenever I see "EH" on T-shirts and junk around Canada Day I just cringe inside. Also Canada Day sounds stupid because it has too many A's...eh?

I (and everyone I know) pronounce "sorry" sahr-ree.

Like if you took the "czar" of Russia, replaced the z sound with an s sound, and stuck a y on the end.

I'm tired of reading about people's perceived sexual appeal, or lack thereof.

I am tired of reading false claims that Ukraine is somehow at fault for Russia's aggression.

Anyone in chatrooms whose self introduction is "asl?" or giving their gender and age before I'm even able to type should f-- off. :x

I want a very random chatfest that can turn deep and philosophical or just remain mindless fun, not a prospecting date, romance or porn to a point age and gender would'nt even be relevant until much later. :roll:

Quite like how online game chatrooms tend to do.

One of the most frightening things I have ever realized is that the existence of the "Uncanny Valley" implies that at some point in human history there was an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that only looked human.
