The origin of the name Aimless is a matter of historic record.

Tis the season for buying homeless people meals or hugging sad cashiers and posting that shit to social media so that everyone knows how wonderful you are.

A friend of mine did a long series of selfies with Shaq Soda cans, and a good chunk of his friends day video was made up of that.

i don't have the right thread for this. my friend, who is a very straight-shooting matter of fact person just had a baby with his wife (this is their first). he posted the facebook album of photos of course, and the album is titled "New Child" and this just keeps cracking me up.

and now something that belongs on this thread
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said "I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you.""Of course I can," said the father.It's not always anger, it is your actions in general. There are no "fresh starts" in life. There is no new beginning. Forgiveness comes easy for many people but the scars of the past, they never go away. Watch what you do today, because sometimes the price isn't worth the reward.

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day she asked Johnny what his problem was he replied, “I’m too smart for the first grade, my sister is in the third grade and I’m smarter than her too.”The teacher took him to the principal’s office and explained the situation to the principal. The principal told her that he would give Johnny a test, and if he failed to answer one question he would have to go back to the first grade and be quiet. The teacher and Johnny both agreed.Principal: “What is 3 x 3?”Johnny: “9.”Principal: “6 x 6?”Johnny: “36.”And so it went on like this, the principal asked him every question a third grader should know. Finally after about an hour he told the teacher “I see no reason Johnny can’t go to the third grade, he answered all of my questions right.”The teacher asked if she could ask him some questions. The principal and Johnny agree.Teacher: “What does a cow have 4 of that I only have 2 of?”Johnny: “Legs”Teacher: “What do you have in your pants that I don’t have?”The principal gasps but before he can stop him from answering Johnny says, “Pockets.”Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”Johnny: “Pants.”Teacher: “What starts with F and ends with K and means a lot of excitement?”Johnny: “Firetruck.”The principal breaths a big sigh of relief and says “Put Johnny in the fifth grade, I got the last 4 questions wrong myself.”

Dogs pant

dog-pants joke depends on excluding the subject of the sentence ("It pants" would convey the sense more clearly + spoil the joke) which I can see feeling somehow incomplete or incorrect, grammatically, but in the context of "answering a trick question" I let it slide
weird how such processes happen completely 'under the radar' -- until something goes wrong & communication breaks down (cf Heidegger on the ontological status of tools)

haven't been on facebook properly for ages. decided to start posting again to keep in touch with friends and family with whom i wouldn't otherwise keep in touch. now in an argument with some 'be nice to tories otherwise they won't vote for you' centrist bullshit friends. :/
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 21:07 (six years ago) link
if by "being nice", they meant don't carve your initials in their backside with a razor, or waterboard them, or repeatedly slap them about the face and head, then your centrist friends have a valid point and are not entirely out of line, imo.
otoh, if they meant do not challenge tories when they talk nonsense, or spout racism/sexism, or cite non-existent 'facts' or blatantly incorrect 'history', or merely indulge in mean-spiritedness, then fuck 'em.
― A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
tbh aimless i think this was the crux of the argument. i wasn't so sure about the initials on the backside or the slapping i'm afraid.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 23:04 (six years ago) link
i mean wasn’t so sure about them being bad.

Is there a way to change your visibility settings so it doesn't show everyone when you're going to an event? I find FB helpful to keep track of what shows I'm going to but I don't like that it clutters up peoples' feeds every time I add a danged event.
