Maybe you could take your gorgeous, geeky, devastatingly intelligent and generally wonderful reasons up to San Francisco or something.
I don't know how things are going with her on that front enough to speak on it, but she is planning to shift, and quite possibly to San Fran, or at the very least, the Bay area. I don't know what's in the bay area, so for all I know, LA is in the bay area, but still.
Sorry to hear of you bad predicament Churba. I hope things work out.
*Shrugs* Shit happens in the big city. I've a weeks lead time before I'm out on my arse, and I'm already on top of that, and I've not even Spoken to anyone from Hackspace yet.
Sorry to hear that, Churba. But is it really a bad thing? I mean, that chick. Ew.
Silver lining to every cloud, of course. There are some things coming along that are quite hopeful, so things are going to get better.
You Europeans and your wonderful hackspaces. There are no hackspaces in Central Illinois (except for the Rapid Prototyping Lab, but I'm not a fancy-pants MechE student, so I can't use it), and this fact makes me sad.
There's a huge poster on the quarter mile at RIT today that claims that the existence and popularity of deodorant is proof that we're all slaves to capitalism. Picture coming soon (as soon as someone takes a picture and puts it on Twitter. I give it 5 hours max).

We're slaves to capitalism because we think deodorant smells nicer than sweat and bacteria? These people live in their own world.
I had a dream last night where I was going to take a train from DC down to South America with a friend. I thought it left at 11pm, but apparently it left at 6am. The first thing I thought of (in the dream) is that I should post in the "Fail of Your Day" thread. Maybe I'm on the forums too often?

The RIT hippies were, I recall, particularly unwashed. They would usually camp out on the quarter mile protesting things. You could tell who they were from quite a distance, since they all dressed the same, and most of them had dreads.
The RIT Communists were similarly stereotypical. They literally handed out copies of the Socialist Worker, with the red printed text and everything, entirely non-ironically.
Man, there are ways you can be clean and not smelly without deodorant. Wash every day, and use a salt crystal plus essential oils and you will not smell bad. Smell is not an issue with capitalism, this is just good hygienic behavior.
While I agree that fresh athletic sweat smells good (I like how Rym and I smell after we run), stinky accumulated bacterial growing sweat = Bad! Bathe, people!
Adam found some interesting information that fairly clearly showed that antiperspirant being linked to cancer and other diseases was a myth based on a statistically insignificant correlation. I hope he posts it so I can see if it is a valid/legitimate source. I don't like sweat smell of any kind, but I was using less antiperspirant (only using it when I was working out or it was particularly warm out) due to the supposed correlation. If it is bunk, I will start using antiperspirant again A.S.A.P.
The idea of people having children in the double digits is worrying..
Honestly, anything more than two seems excessive to me.
Real reason, I think I read somewhere that christian numbers are dropping. Answer, christians need to have more babies!
Pretty much. I mean if you have 15 children that means you have 15 votes, that can win you an election in some parts ^_^
That logic is so flawed, though. My father (an atheist) was raised in a baptist household and I my mother (who is anti-organized religion, but has personal faith) was raised in a Presbyterian household. Just because someone is raised by religious parents is no guarantee that they themselves will be religious or follow the particular religion/denomination of their parents. Also, no one should be having more children than they can support. The only situation I could see their position making sense is if they were adopting children that would otherwise have been aborted (now that is having the courage of your convictions and putting your money where your mouth is).

What's with you and taking my off the chuff comments entirely too seriously? You do this quite often.
I am just serious business. What can I say? I wasn't taking you seriously, by the way, I was just commenting on the concept not on your joke specifically. I take child rearing and religious indoctrination very, very seriously.

I myself would freak out if I had more than one kid. However, I think some non-crazy people want big families for somewhat sane reasons. My aunt wanted several kids because her family growing up had been big (and it helped that she married a doctor and had plenty of money.) She has 3 right now and is amazingly good at keeping control of them.
This is in contrast to my cousin (who is my age, 22) and has had 4 or 5 kids so far with 2 or 3 different guys (I lost track). She is a good example of people that shouldn't have so many kids (or any at all). At least she makes me look like the good kid of the family. *sigh*

If ranting about something that you can't change makes you feel better, go nuts. I do it too. So forget I said anything, carry on.

Sorry to hear of you bad predicament Churba. I hope things work out.
I hope you find a new place either there, here or with near Sonic's sister. :P
On another note, I'm really sorry you got kicked out, Churba. At least you are out of hell, even if just for a moment.

I miss living in what was effectively PCU.
