6:15am: Get out of bed and smoke cigarette before baby wakes up. Make coffee immediately so that eating breakfast and lunch can be avoided.
7:00am: Begin third cup of coffee.
8:00am: Sit on couch and encourage child to run around. Avoid running after him for any reason.
10:00am: Drive two blocks to school. Park at median height of campus to avoid walking uphill either direction.
11:00am-4:00pm: Have to walk off campus now to smoke. Every time I get back to class I want another one already. Can't complain, out of breath anyway.
5:00pm: Go to store, buy ranch dressing for tater-tots and vinaigrette for wife's salad.
7:00pm: Spend an hour cooking ultra-healthy, carb-free meal for wife and son. Snack on cheese-crackers and diet soda (not because it's diet, I just like it better).
9:00pm: Put son to bed, go outside to smoke and play with bokken: today's only exercise.
9:30pm-12:00am: Fold laundry, clean, homework, etc.
1:00am: First meal of day: leftover pastry dough I made for pie wrapped around salami and some lettuce (gotta eat your veggies).
2:00am: Wake up on couch to Galactica credits. Go to bed. (I average the actual, completely awake viewing of one episode every four days at this rate.)

There, now I don't even need a Fitocracy profile.

Go to work...save up a bit of dough, and upgrade from that fucking air mattress you're slumbering upon.

Wonder what his poop looks like. Probably sherbet.


In this case I bet it looks like Play Dough.

Watch out for that cookie dough...

>> ^pmkierst:

Has to be oil, water won't get hot enough to create browning reactions.


Yea I thought mxxcon was joking. obviously not to him/her it is oil. What the spread is, I have no clue. I like how the dough stretches and holds its shape, it takes skill/practice to work with that sort of materiel without it ripping on you.

We on the Right only poop cookie dough, so it's always interesting to see this "waste" process. Except on the street.

Please, curb your filthy hippies.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

I don't get the conservative fascination with farts and poop.

Reheating cold pizza on the grill works wonderfully as well. You have to put some foil down to keep it from getting burnt, but it develops a nice smoky flavor that makes it often better than the original pizza u started with.

I've also heard of people throwing a wad of dough on the grill, cooking it on one side, flipping it over, and then adding sauce/cheese/toppings for awesome homemade grilled pizza, though I've never tried it myself.

I would hope his farts smell like cinnamon dough.

>> ^mxxcon:

I strongly advise you against eating a lot of cookie/cake dough. You will NOT enjoy your time in the toilet after that.


Hush. You'll spoil the surprise.

>> ^EMPIRE:

when you say "everything they build" do you mean that plant specifically or VW in general?

VW in general, at least in this country. Golf and Polo are borderline, but the rest ... adjusted for inflation, wages in Germany are on average 5.9% below the level of 1991. Can't afford a VW on that kind of dough, so it's Japanese/Korean/Romanian cars all the way.

Other downsides: personal vendettas, poor training caused disasters, criminals with a badge, etc, etc.

I understand the sentiment behind the idea, but it's putting way too much trust in the masses.

I don't know if it's because my faith in humanity is practically non-existent, but I have a hard time imagining a society which does not have some form of law enforcement, for when the preventive measures and education fail... The powerful (be that with brawn or dough) will always be tempted to prey on the weak, and some will heed that temptation. Then what?

I'm inclined to respond "Yes, obviously, look at how the police act.".
I'm not claiming that power vacuums will somehow remain vacant, I'm simply suggesting that there are probably better ways to fill them. I think that any number of radical departures could serve the need to reduce power abuse better than the current system.
My favorite option is going to lose me libertarian support, but I think conscription would work very well for law enforcement.
Lets say that everybody had to serve 21 days every 3 years, 7 weekends of training followed by 1 week of enforcement. We have some professional trainers, but the cops on the street are civilians for 99.3% of their lives. Since the number of officers would be very high in this case, most of them won't even have to take time off work, they just have a gun, badge and a radio with them at all times, and the closest officers are dispatched to do what is needed.
Down side: everybody has to do it.
Up side: more cops, nobody has to do it much, and nobody get in the habit of being above the law.
