Suck, with an offering of LinkSpam

[x_los]

So here's why work was foul tonight, culled from an AIM b/c I'm too disgusted to type it twice: OH MY SODDING CHRIST: I ACTUALLY GOT 'BUT OBAMA'S BLACK' TONIGHT. FOR REAL REAL. From DEMOCRATS. Hillary Supporters. Just--just SAID like it was a rational thing to SAY. Like it was 1956 or something! And I don't think they were joking at all! I had nooooo fucking idea what to say that wasn't "I can see your address on this screen. You live what, 2 hrs away? I'm coming to punch you. Be ready. 2 Hours, bitch." (note: I did not say that. I DID say "/Really?/" Incredulously, and they were like, actually assuring me "Oh yeah" and I was like "...I'm a little grossed out now. Goodnight."--granted, not what I should have done, not PC enough, but gaaaawd.)

The other day I got 'Barack is the vanguard of the Islam (error preserved from original) conspiracy to take over this country, and if you can't see that, you're BLIND. OPEN YOUR EYES!'
I was like "He's been attending the same Christian Baptist church for 20some years. If he's Islamic, he doesn't know that?" And then he went on and I had to hang up b/c I was laughing too hard to be polite.

Possible better responses in future: "No no, Obama's only HALF Black. Yeah. Is that better? And you're only half a dumbfuck."

"No, see, Obama's an Oreo, sir. His skin may be black, but his soul is white as snow. And his Ivy League education in some ways entitles him to more of the traditional prerogatives of white privilege than you're privy to, sir. In fact, Obama's whiter than you. Yeah. Think deep on that one. Then go lynch yourself."

"He IS?! OH MY GOD!! I--I *begin to cry, jaggedly, moaning 'no, noooo,' hang up*"

LINKZ:

Props to blinkidybah and homo_moment for some of these.

THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT THE INTERNET EVAHR. And another one--less funny, but still funny--by the same people.

Howl's Moving Skyscraper

Disapproving Rabbits

I saw a really good documentary on the Mosuo tribe once and remembered it/them tonight in a best_enemies discussion about ethology (yeah, I /love/ that group's random tangents, sry).

xkcd had a great comic making fun of this commercial, which I adore.

I have a feeling that the moving skyscraper would be really loud and I would be a little angry at the jackass that decides to shift his apartment at 3am.

It would also make it harder to push someone out a window and have them fall to their deaths, as there's a decent chance that someone's roof will be right there and ruin all your well laid plans...

Oh, good point, how could it not be loud? And imagine the huge rows over X having moved in a position that you want/which blocks the sun/etc and refusing to move his box!

But then additionally, someone could get squished to death in a horrible 'moving-box' accident/malfunction?
