I fail to see the problem. However, what I do see is a pink elephant running across my living room carpet as I write this. The good news is that I am very calm as I know the purple dolphins in my kitchen will protect me.

LIPMAN IS wrong when she defends the use of the verb "to pimp" as a minor infraction. That the word is evolving to mean, say, to use someone for one's own gain or benefit (or to decorate garishly), leaves us with a linguistic problem: What are we going to call the man who is still using violence to force a woman to be a prostitute for his financial benefit?

Using the word in casual conversation implies that pimping someone out has become a casual event. This is part of a larger change in the language that involves casually using words with negative connotations about women. Don Imus calling basketball players "hos" erases the distinction between women who sell sex and all women. I frequently correct my high school students who say, when they win a basketball game by a large margin, that they "raped" the other team, because they diminish the horrible nature of rape into a sports competition with a winner and a loser. These changes reflect anti-women sentiments that may be growing among younger men – or at least that are being expressed casually and unthinkingly. They're not minor changes.

Im looking for a Bento Box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink)
or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for
2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really
kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post
pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii (cute)). And it
would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH
chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made
out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that.
Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or
corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a Bento Box similar to the one
im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan
(rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like
that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

Funnily enough a friend and I were recently discussing the interesting geometric possibilities which would be possible when cooking in zero g, one of the recipies we came up with was the sperical pizza, where the dough gets inflated into a sphere (you need the air because the pizza dough would want to shrink) and the topping get layered around the outside, all of course being stick to the dough using the sticky marinara sauce.
This could then be cooked in an oven with the 'inflation pipe' blowing hot air into the middle to cook the dough, and also acting to keep the 'space pizza' in the middle of the oven.

The result, pizza with no crusts!

The Last Samarai contains a good example of the difference between a weeaboo and a person in touch with reality.

The English character who had been living in Japan was basically a 19th century weeaboo. He had romantic notions of non-English "savages" such as the Native American or Samurai.

Tom Cruise put him in his place by describing the brutal reality of what it meant to be scalped by an American Indian in battle by describing it in clear detail. The English chap nearly wet his pants.

Tom's character represents a true appreciation of a culture. He took great pains to learn the language and traditions in order to truly understand. In the end he fullfilled every weeaboo's dream of bedding a Japanese woman. But he truly deserved it.

A weeaboo, would expect to do the same if he can say "anata wa kawaii!," but he cannot even remember to take his shoes off in the house.

You know what's next. It's always left for last and it's unpleasant for searcher and searchee.

"Turnink around pliz. Bendink over. Spreadink chiks."

And so the inmate does this, exposing his chocolate starfish. Now, I'm not particularly experienced in medical matters, but this inmate had the absolute worst case of hemorrhoids EVAR. There was this loop sticking out of his bung that had to be an inch or two long. Boris' eyes light up, and he says, "AH HA! CONTRABAND!" And he grabs the loop between thumb and forefinger and yanks.

The inmate made no sound. He just collapsed like a sack of rice to the tile floor, twitching. Me, I'm desperately gasping for breath from laughing so hard. I'm leaning against the doorframe, trying to key my mike, and I manage to squeak out "Medical, assistance, in, Records, please." And Sheriff Boris, dear Boris, is standing over the inmate, puzzled.

I've finally slid to the floor myself, still laughing, but I'm at the point where I have no air left in my lungs. The only sound coming from me is a "click click click" as my diaphragm twitches back and forth. Right at that point, right at that godforsaken point, Boris says to the inmate, "Hunh. You should have somebody look at that."

And all I could do was convulse.

NEETS? before you complain about NEETS how about we complain about the fuckers who even thought up the term NEET.
That's right, i'm talking you assholes like you. 'Not in Employment Education or Training' my ass - maybe if the twats who sit around thinking up terms like that put their minds to some goddamn useful purpose then maybe people would want, or at least need to work. As it is most countries who've bought into the whole NEET concept have only their complete fucktarded government systems to blame for the rise of so called 'NEETS'.

Why? Well, either you've encouraged the outsourcing of jobs to other countries - thus leaving less un or low skilled jobs for the 'NEET's to actually do. Or you've instituted completely fucking useless forms of edu-ma-cational qualifications (such as 'beauty therapy' or a lot of other 'mickey mouse' subjects) which have little to no practical worth what-so-fucking-ever (and thus actively HARM a persons employability) or you've paid out so fucking much in unemployment benifits, and taxed the working people so goddamn hard it's actually more financially stable for a working-class member of public to stay unemployed...

And then you come up with the term 'NEET'. Why? To pass the buck. No other reason what-so-fucking-ever.

Also, just 'cuz you pissed me off and got my on a bad time, most of the people on the chans are unlikely to be NEETS anyway as i would expect the vast majority to be students (thus in Education or Training) with the second majority being those with stable jobs - not necessarily great jobs, but jobs nonetheless. Otherwise how could we be constantly buying all the cool crap we buy? (I'ma looking at you Kira, Mr. 'earns enough to buy three limited dollfies' )

As to me? I'm a goddamn Teacher. So don't even think of pulling the 'oh, you wouldn't understand educational policies' line - 'cuz i do, and i know they're 90% bullshit made to impress people.

You know what else is this Friday (in Jerusalem, today everywhere else)? PURIM MOTHERFUCKER.

What's Purim you ask? Only the best religious holiday in the history of EVER. First everyone in the community leaves baskets of cookies with jam and chocolate fillings and other shit at other people's houses. Do you like trick or treating? Fuck yes you do nigger, well this is like reverse trick or treating, the treats come to YOU. You can sit on your hikikomori ass and let the cookies and candies roll in, fuck yes.

But what about dressing up in costumes? It's not trick or treating without dressing up in costumes! Well guess what faggot, you get to do that too. I know you fuckers love that cosplay shit, you can cosplay your goddamn eyes out for all I care. Plus you get noisemakers and shit, holy fuck.

But that's not even touching the best part: it's a commandment on Purim to get so shitfaced drunk that you can't tell the difference between "Blessed is Mordechai" and "Cursed is Haman." You heard that right, on Purim it is your DIVINE DUTY to get absolutely fucking smashed. When was the last time Jesus ever told you to get sloshed? Huh? Yeah he did that water to wine shit when he was alive but what booze has he brought for YOU lately? I didn't think so, fag.

"But Anonymous, I'm an atheist! I can't be seen celebrating your invisible sky man holiday or all my heathen friends will disown me!" Well don't you worry your little sinner shithole, because the story of Purim doesn't mention God even ONCE. No strings attached, just go fucking nuts.

So to review, on Purim you get free goddamn cookies, get to dress up as kings and shit, have a direct order to drink irresponsibly, AND you don't have to be a godfag to get in on the goods. Can your pansy lord and savior deliver any of THAT?

Naruto: Hey you fat pig I will take you down, believe it.

Wario: Yeah right

Naruto: Letfs fight.

Naruto took out a knife, ran over to Wario, Naruto used shadow clones.

Then Wario farted and all of the shadow clones disappeared.

Naruto: That fucking smells.

Naruto covers his nose with both of his hands, then Wario went over to Naruto and he had a free shot, so he picked up the knife that Naruto dropped and he stabbed him in the chest.

Naruto: I will win this fight so everyone in the village will respect me.

Wario: Yeah right.

Naruto: You think your so fucking strong donft you; well I am going to kick your fucking fat ass, aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Suddenly Naruto went into nine tailed fox mode. Naruto took out two knifes ran over to Wario, kicked him in the chest, Wario fell to the ground, Then Naruto jumped on top of top of Wario, took the two knife and stabbed both of Wariofs eyes.

In these times it really doesn't matter if is launched KDE 35.0 or Gnome Vista, because while both environments (and others with less weight as IceWM) were worrying in confusing the user with a completely different aspect, Microsoft was consolidating his position as leader in the field of the operating systems of office, first with the operating system Windows XP (that have approximately 90% of the client operating system market) and with its advanced successor, the recently Windows Vista, that offers a new form to interact with its PC. Is faster, friendlier, and more secure.

The reality is that Linux has little to offer to the inexperienced user. The same novice that is seen disconcerted by the impossibility to do a simple one copy-paste between QT and GTK applications. Go out and ask to the people how they install a program that does NOT have packages for its distribucción (because each one has its own packege system, completely incompatible with the others and that requires the use of complicated commands). Still the packages of the same format as RPM, they cannot be installed equally in Mandriva or Suse.

Then what we suggest to this user (that is just beginning in the Unix Word) is that he need to download the source code, go to the console, decompress it and compile it. How many they managed to do this? One of each a million, I have to say. We persist in THAT is the normal thing. ..nothing more further from the reality.

Explain him why in his Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Fedora cannot see many web pages: he must download the Flash and the Java plugin, in order then to install them with complicated commands. Also make him know that he won't be able to listen its MP3, WMA and WMV files. Tell to the flaming buyer of a new AMD64 how he can play flash games.A shit.

And the gamers? Obviously they'll return to windows, because even God can't use the hardware acceleration of the most modern graphics cards (besides, the drivers don't come in the distributions. ..becuase of the fucking freedom) and that games...just a few ones. By each Linux videogame we have 500 that run on Windows. And the few ones that run on Linux...Oh! Surprise!...Just Windows binaries on the CD, and you have to download the Linux version from a website. Finally the user return to the best option, the OS most used on home (all we know what OS is).

The proof of the free software failure is seen also in the professional world, either in areas like electronic design (doesn't exist anything similar to Protel), architecture (the standard CAD -all we know wich one-only works on Windows), web design (something similar to Dreamweaver? Don't mention something like NVU, that not only is full of bugs, but also just have the 5% of the Dreamweaver features. Neither Bluefish, Quanta or similars...no one would face a complex project with such a primitive tools). DTP? Scribus is a good try (very immature) but Quark or InDesign are far batter. Flash content creation (A standard, and a flash player installed in the 99% of PCs)? It cannot be done on Linux.

In the software development industry there's not a single decent RAD tool. Gambas seems to promise but for now is shit, Eclipse is a RAM eater (thanks Java) that only can be used with 2GB RAM, Kylix promised give the potential of Delphi to Linux, but it was discontinued because the developers hate to pay for licenses and they prefer to use a primitive tool, like KDevelop. And now that we talk about Borland tools, is not rare that programming gurus like Ian Marteens abandoned Delphi and C++ Builder and now prefer the most powerful system for software development: Microsoft Visual Studio.NET.

A computer game developer would never develop free (as in free spech) games, because they have to eat and there's not a business model compatible with free software. The Linux users don't want free (as in free spech) games, they just want commercial quality without pay a single buck.

Administritive management? In Linux? There's not software in this area. The businessman wants to have something standard, something friendly, something mature. He doesn't want to be fighting with a console, compiling sources for in the end (if he finally get it compile) obtain a half-finished application.

If Linux is free (in both senses)...Why the high computers-makers don't preinstall it (just a 1% make that)? Or at least dual-boot? Others, in other hand, opt for FreeDOS.

The PC Battle is loss...because it never exist. Linux with it's chaotic development (instead of boost existing applications or create new ones to supply the lacks, we have thousand clones of each one but without finish or that directly just make us laugh) just has dug it's own tomb. The user don't want a degree in Computer Science: He wants to insert the Game CD, make a few clicks and have all installed and running. He doesn't want headaches. He wants visit XXX sites and watch the video correctly. He wants to install his webcam without recompiling the kernel.

Keep defending the console. Keep defending LaTeX as if it was something that a secretary or a lawyer have to use with the same simplicity of Microsoft Office. Keep defending Vi as the best tool for software developmnet a web site design.Keep believing that new users need to get close to Debian or Gentoo, taking days to configure a USB modem. Keep insulting distributions like Ubuntu or SuSE because are trying to be friendly. Keep just like this and in the end there will be just three frikis using Linux, while the rest of the world will be using what is already mature and functional: Windows.

And You? Where do you want to go today?

Thanks for you attention.
