If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Funny question.

How do a person would react when he is thinking about his/her waifu/husbando and then Akinator guess: "Are you in love with your character?"?

Is there a "maybe" choice?

There's "I don't know", "Probably", and "Probably not."

I think the last two used to be something like "Probably/Somewhat" and "Probably Not/Not really".

Sometimes I feel like others are exasperated at me for not knowing some things (like who "Little Kuriboh" is)…

Don't worry, I don't judge you for that.
I could judge you if you were an bad boss who doesn't give health insurance to your workers, but that's another subject.

I'd be a bad boss since I wouldn't even be able to afford to give workers any sort of insurance. D:

If I was a boss, then the workers would be allowed to decide whether or not they want to be free; I'd understand.

Trusting your boss as a job reference seems unsafe.

If you're bad at your job, they'll tell your prospective employer you were bad.

If you're good at your job, they'll tell your prospective employer you were bad, so that your prospective employer won't steal you away.

I'd hate to be an employer. Leafing through reams of black and white resumes just to find one candidate for a job.

I'm not the kind of guy that derives pleasure from disappointing others who are trying to find work.

It's hilarious how Twilight used the very antonym of vegetarian to explain themselves as vegetarians. [lol]

It's just that in Twilight, Edward explains to Bella that he and his family are "vegetarians", because they feed on animal blood.

I know that it means that they don't attack human beings, but come on, out of context it makes no sense whatsoever. [lol]

So on the way back home from the Memorial Day weekend vacation, I had a nice chat with my older brother, about my insane younger brother and cousin.

And if you need an introduction to my younger brother, enjoy this list of crazy shit he said.

Anyway, my younger bro and cousin are pretty far-right extremists - a libertarian misogynist manospherian and an anarchist respectively - and both are unable to shut up because the whole world must hear their beliefs. I said that maybe the reason they grabbed onto their worldviews and became just so certain about them is because the two of them feel very helpless in their own lives, and they want something that makes themselves feel superior to everyone else.

My older bro agreed, and pointed out that my cousin, the anarchist, is easily the least successful member of our extended family. He gets fired from many jobs due to his attitude problem, used to sell drugs, all manner of crap like that.

Our younger bro got fired from two jobs in his chosen field: health care. He claimed both bosses had it in for him, but here's a little secret for you all: my younger brother is an asshole. He's always been a bit of a cocky douche with a temper, but since joining the manosphere, these characteristics have been amplified.

My older brother is a college professor and works in the medical field himself. He says that he's had students who he believes are straight-up dangerous, really unfit for the medical field. One student stole his exam, bragged about having stolen it (which is how my brother found out), and aced it, then asked to become my older brother's research assistant. He did, and he sucked at it, showing to my older bro that this student had no actual brain. He also told me of another student who had serious emotional issues, and was great at her work when she had clear direction, but was a disaster by herself, and that job would put her in many situations where she'd have no choice but to be self-directed, which could put patients at risk.

Professors pass along little "hints" that crappy medical students are just that, as in please don't give this person a job. My older brother says that he feels bad about that, but patients shouldn't be subjected to someone who's bad at their job.

And my younger brother's attitude problem (and the fact that he got into health care just for the money, which my older brother finds concerning) could sink him. Health care is a small world, my older brother says, and developing a bad reputation could sink you. It also doesn't help to be a misogynist in a woman-dominated field.

As for my younger brother at the moment? He's currently dating a Mexican woman, because they're "more traditional". My older brother jokingly called her (to me, not around her obviously) "an obedient Mexican woman", in reference to my younger brother's tastes in women (he hates independence in women, women who curse; well okay - he's a member of the manosphere. Draw your own conclusions).

My random thought for the day.

Why does ostrich meat look more like beef than poultry? :S Looks like the one animal the "tastes like chicken" description doesn't work on. tongue

I just realized I've never been to Oudtshoorn (the "ostrich capital of the world", or so says Wikipedia).

Though, I've never been outside the Western Cape province of South Africa either.
