CTRL+V THREAD! [part 5] (999)

In many GUI environments, including Microsoft Windows and most desktop environments based on the X Window System, and in applications such as word processing software running in those environments, control-V can be used to paste text from the clipboard at the current cursor position. Control-V was one of a handful of keyboard sequences chosen by the program designers at Xerox PARC to control text editing. Presumably these particular keystrokes were chosen because of their location on a standard QWERTY keyboard, since the Z (undo), X (cut), C (copy), and V (paste) keys are located together at the left end of the bottom row of the standard QWERTY keyboard. The equivalent Mac OS key combination on Apple computers is Command-V.

There once slept quietly a fat grey mouse. His name was Squeeks. His feet were blue and tasted like strawberries. One day the moon crushed squeeks! Squeeks wasn't very happy because the moon cheese was ugly and smelled like rats and Squeeks suddenly became a zombie. So he attacked Iyasu. Iyasu reveals that she is super lesbian and wants lots of tacos. She defeated zombified Squeeks with a rusty dil-do by beating it's tail down his a*****e. Soon Squeeks was not a mouse, but was instead a pickle. Jesus decided that pickles should never be used by man. So he went on and gave the pickle to Satan and Satan chuckled with glee. For he had a sammich. And it was delicious but evil because it raped the imps with a crowbar.

The imps screamed in strange ways as they made tacos. Satan ate and became a rooster who lived with a gay raccoon that loved instantaneously combusting hotdogs. The evil martini smelled gross but tasted like heaven. However enchiladas were calling the tacos to their orange room for a great rebellion against the evil martini who forced the enchiladas to use evil rocks to attack the tacos. Kris lol'd at Iyasu who crashed into a taco stand. The tacos fell on Satan's head and he went berserk. Satan started to spaz out and eat tacos. Just then... the tacos rose up to rebel and the Taco King told the tacos to eat Kris. Kris screamed as they devoured her taco. Soon Iyasu wanted her taco devoured too. So the Taco King rushed at Iyasu and attacked her yummy taco. Then the evil martini lunged at the tacos with blind stuffed parrots. Joey entered with cake filled with gay raccoons who butt munched the evil martini.

Taco King delightfully watched the action with his d**k out. While stroking his sauce coated d**k, he wanted the Queen of Tofu. She was white and nerdy, but he didn't mind because she gave good head. Her name was Tofunetta, and her bajingo was tight and loose. The Taco King found the Gaia censorship and beep it up. PG-13 was degrading and restricting to the Gaians. After beep a *beep*ed up situation had ended.

Killer DMing is a vicious cycle. The sad truth is that someone probably did it to them during their developmental years, someone close to them, a friend or neighbor or relative. It's very rarely an actual stranger.

Mathematician Dad says "That'd be 3, dear."
Physicist Dad says "Yep. 3's the result."
Chemist Dad says "You're looking at a 3, there, Peanut."
Geologist Dad says "Definitely 3."
Climatologist Dad says "That depends on what year we are talking about…"

If everyone in the world feels that s/he is right in one way or another, if there is a sense that this point of view is true and clear and perhaps even kind, then wouldn't it be reasonable to ask why there is so much sorrow and and uncertainty and strife? People who are true and clear and perhaps even kind don't don such clothes without hoping to be happier and more at peace. But if happier-and-at-peace does not seem to factually devolve from being true and clear and perhaps kind, something is clearly out of kilter.

Dr Laura Schlessinger ("Dr Laura") broadcasts a 3 hour long, radio program each weekday on a network of over 500 radio stations in the U.S. and Canada and has an estimated audience of 20 million people. She holds a Ph.D. in physiology (study of the functions of living matter), not psychology as some assume.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger has said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response was posted on the internet and is best regarded as an essay clearly meant for a wider audience than just Dr Laura. It is a general reminder that many belief systems pick and choose their way through biblical teachings in determining what is "right" and "wrong". Authorship has been attributed to several, but remains unconfirmed.

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

  1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
  2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
  3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
  4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbours. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
  5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath.Exodus 35:2. Clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
  6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
  7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?
  8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
  9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
  10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16.Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

In Denmark, they have been showing two video-clips,(as an excuse to go to war down there, poised by the national tv-station/feminists/goverment), about how bad the womens situation was down there. One of them was about a bunch of women the Taleban wanted to get in a line, and the women wouldnt do it, -they were screaming and yelling and all over the place, no matter how badly they were beaten. They showed this one over and over and over. The second one, was a bout a bunch of guys, -same scenario.All the guys was standing in a nice tight line, looking at their feet, saying nothing.So the interviewer asked, why the Taleban soldier didnt hit on the men, and one nasty looking soldier just smiled and said:”They didnt have to.Men get it the first time, you hit them !!”They aired that on only ONCE !!!

Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...?
Naked Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistible urge to get inside. No not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.
Sigint: Destiny...?
Naked Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.
Sigint: ...
Naked Snake: Does any of that make sense?
Sigint: Not even a little.
Naked Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.

The sexual double standard arises from the reality that getting sex is easy for women but hard for men. The reason studs are respected and sluts are derided is because being a stud requires skill, talent, and practice, while being a slut merely requires a pulse and a lack of impulse control.

If I could give this no stars, I would. This is possibly one of my least favorite books in the world, one that I would happily take off of shelves and stow in dark corners where no one would ever have to read it again.

I think that To Kill A Mockingbird has such a prominent place in (American) culture because it is a naive, idealistic piece of writing in which naivete and idealism are ultimately rewarded.

I think that To Kill A Mockingbird has such a prominent place in (American) culture because it is a naive, idealistic piece of writing in which naivete and idealism are ultimately rewarded. It's a saccharine, rose-tinted eulogy for the nineteen thirties from an orator who comes not to bury, but to praise. Written in the late fifties, TKAM is free of the social changes and conventions that people at the time were (and are, to some extent) still grating at. The primary dividing line in TKAM is not one of race, but is rather one of good people versus bad people -- something that, of course, Atticus and the children can discern effortlessly.

The characters are one dimensional. Calpurnia is the Negro who knows her place and loves the children; Atticus is a good father, wise and patient; Tom Robinson is the innocent wronged; Boo is the kind eccentric; Jem is the little boy who grows up; Scout is the precocious, knowledgable child. They have no identity outside of these roles. The children have no guile, no shrewdness--there is none of the delightfully subversive slyness that real children have, the sneakiness that will ultimately allow them to grow up. Jem and Scout will be children forever, existing in a world of black and white in which lacking knowledge allows people to see the truth in all of its simple, nuanceless glory.

I think that's why people find it soothing: TKAM privileges, celebrates, even, the child's point of view. Other YA classics--Huckleberry Finn; Catcher in the Rye; A Wrinkle in Time; The Day No Pigs Would Die; Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret; Bridge to Terabithia--feature protagonists who are, if not actively fighting to become adults, at least fighting to find themselves as people. There is an active struggle throughout each of those books to make sense of the world, to define the world as something larger than oneself, as something that the protagonist can somehow be a part of. To Kill A Mockingbird has no struggle to become part of the world--in it, the children are the world, and everything else is just only relevant in as much as it affects them. There's no struggle to make sense of things, because to them, it already makes sense; there's no struggle to be a part of something, because they're already a part of everything. There's no sense of maturation--their world changes, but it leaves them, in many ways, unchanged, and because of that, it fails as a story for me. The whole point of a coming of age story--which is what TKAM is generally billed as--is that the characters come of age, or at least mature in some fashion, and it just doesn't happen.

All thematic issues aside, I think that the writing is very, er, uneven, shall we say? Overwhelmingly episodic, not terribly consistent, and largely as dimensionless as the characters.

"The defence has been made in the case of sex criminals that there is pleasure on the part of the victim. The same is true with what we're doing with food. We may abuse our bodies with food, but it's incredibly pleasurable. From a food marketer's point of view, when your quote unquote victim is so willing and enjoying of the process, who's fighting back?"

How considerate is it to be considerate? I tried thinking about it here today, but got flummoxed by the vagaries of linking and gave up.

Still, I do wonder: How considerate is it to be considerate?

I like being considerate of others but dislike being stuck in some sitcom universe where the wife asks the husband, "Does this make me look fat?" and woe betide the husband who does not come up with the right answer ... or the world of the inattentive grade-school teacher who can do no better than saying "good joooob!" irrespective of performance.

The best I can do is to state my view together with the proviso that it is just my view.

When I help with checking the voices and had to listen to dozens, hundreds of moaning voices in one go. I had trouble following the script after a while and I started hearing moaning wherever I went. Lying down in bed and hearing “ahh, ahhhhh” in your mind is tough.
