I don't know. Bunch of guys talking = man talk. A bunch of guys talking about their feelings still is man talk...nevermind, not really. I actually just wanted to say that one thing to Sammich and I needed a segue. I guess it wasn't as smooth as I thought. :laugh:

I believe it's spelled seg-way 🙄. We have feelings too, "Like OMG my girlfriend did my orgo homework for me and like I don't know what to do. Does this mean I have to like buy her something, or like take her out to dinner and not make her pay?? Like ohmigawd."

Segue is also a word for transition.

It's also a musical term for a shift in a song, IIRC.

Is it pronounced seg-way?? Or is it pronounced seg-gooey? I'm pretty sure it's pronounced seg-way, and have seen it spelled seg-way on numerous occasions including me spelling it that way myself which is probably wrong lol. I hate those french derived words.

You have a boyfriend though???

Indeed I do. This other guy I've never had relations with beyond a drunkin kiss, but we grew up together. He's a total cowboy. 😍

Hoody, you make 80k a year. If you want to impress a guy, you roll up in one of these:

Segway is a different word. It's also those cool things with the wheels.

Segue is pronounced like "sayg"

I wouldn't be surprised if the word segway was derived from segue.

Dude it never stops at just a drunken kiss, well sometimes, but still. Would you mind your bf wanting to show off for an old flame of his?

Hmm, interesting. I don't think I've ever actually heard the word segue. Can't wait till it's on the MCAT and I bomb it, although now I won't 😛

just wondering if there is anyone that disagrees with the census..
Click to expand...

Well, constitutionally the census can only be used to count population for the purpose of appointing reps. So I somewhat disagree with the questions that go beyond "how many people are living here".

Yeah, but I mean the IRS knows everything anyways, so there's really no hiding anything.

I actually use the word "like" way too much in normal conversation.

That's a nice 2$ word right there. I'm gonna throw that around tomorrow. "Hey Dr. Chastry, how is your segue doing?" Dr. Chastry responds, "When in rome." (play at anchorman).

Speaking of the IRS, I hate those commercials where people are like "I owed the IRS $500,000 and I only paid $50,000." How do you owe the IRS that much money? And why don't you pay them? You're going to get caught eventually - you should be put in jail quick for that kind of crap.

These people obviously don't know the second of the two certainties in life - death and taxes.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of large government bureaucracies though. I view myself as pretty moderate politically just because I truly feel education is extremely important as well as research and public systems, but at the same time I'm socially conservative. But I was reading some ancient middle eastern texts for my middle east class and this guy, ibnu khaldoun wrote about dynasties and empires and one of his quotes is translated 'in the first generation the people are poor and they have very little land, the second generation must expand quickly in order to gain prosperity and it will do so, the third generation's people will start seeking more from the leadership and the leadership will not be able to meet the expectations and this will cause the fall of the empire.' I think that pretty much sums up what happens in almost empires and it's funny how history repeats itself.

I enjoyed watching all those gov employees (Geithener, Paulson ect) who go caught with back taxes trying to explain how they "accidently" left six figures out of their tax returns:laugh:. I'll give people small mistakes on taxes, but a 100k mistake, really?

Not a bad assessment of most societies. Looks like ours is in gen 3.

He talks to his ex on the phone frequently. She a freaking attending at a hospital ~45 miles from him. It drives me crazy....but we're from different generations so idk. enough sketchy talk.


I dont think im going to do the census. I have mixed feelings.
 
Yeah, Ibn Khaldun was pretty legitimate for his time:

He developed the dichotomy of sedentary life versus nomadic life as well as the concept of a "generation," and the inevitable loss of power that occurs when desert warriors conquer a city.

from wikipedia

Perhaps the most frequently cited observation drawn from Ibn Khaldūn's work is the notion that when a society becomes a great civilization (and, presumably, the dominant culture in its region), its high point is followed by a period of decay. This means that the next cohesive group that conquers the diminished civilization is, by comparison, a group of barbarians. Once the barbarians solidify their control over the conquered society, however, they become attracted to its more refined aspects, such as literacy and arts, and either assimilate into or appropriate such cultural practices. Then, eventually, the former barbarians will be conquered by a new set of barbarians, who will repeat the process.

from wikipedia

Ibn Khaldun asserts that all value (profit) comes from labour, as Marx was later to write. He outlines an early (possibly even the earliest) example of political economy. He describes the economy as being composed of value-adding processes; that is, labour is added to techniques and crafts and the product is sold at a higher value. He also made the distinction between "profit" and "sustenance", in modern political economy terms, surplus and that required for the reproduction of classes respectively. He also calls for the creation of a science to explain society and goes on to outline these ideas in his major work the Muqaddimah.

My parents are staunch republicans and they did it. The government will find out what they want to know anyways. I like how much ca$h they are spending on the Census advertisements though. Gotta love our tax dollar$ at work.

My gf doesn't know who my ex is and I talk to her all the time right in front of my gf.
 
just saw that ad for the free willy movie. escape from pirates cove. it features bindi irwin....steve's daughter.

Those commercials annoy me too. Apparently it's cool not to take responsibility for your money woes?

Haha, more-so new gf. My ex is @ a different college where a bunch've my friends go, so I guess she assumes that we were all just friends. She might start to get suspicious though because all of our conversations always end in argument. My ex can be really slimey at times.
 
Anyways, it's getting to be that time. G'nite y'all. Shout out to my boys Stein & Dr. Yoda.

Stein, next time you're in Michigan you gotta hit me up.

Night.

You're sending mixed messages. Sometimes you're ok with not having any feelings as a blob. Other times I hurt your feelings and you're all like "what about my feelings boohoo." Or is inconsistency part of your blobby nature?
 
blobby bob- You go and think about what you've done.

Yoda- I have no idea what you're talking about. You're making me crave breakfast food now, but alas...

I'm going to bed. 😴

You bring up a good point. Let's just say I was kidding/lying half the time and honest the other half of the time -- that should solve it

And maybe I'm inconsistent but at least I'm always inconsistent

Many thanks!

My roommate is effing *****ic sometimes. Apparently a note that says "toilet clogged, waiting for facilities, do not open, almost overflowing" = flush toilet because apparently life doesn't apply to you and FLOOD OUR ENTIRE APARTMENT! I had to half wake up and tell them (yes: them, there were 2 here just staring at it and yelling) how to stop the water RIGHT before it started coming into my room.

So now I can't shower.

Plus my random UC rejection letter this morning. lol.

Ohhhh what a good start to the day.

Now to head to my logic exam! :lame:

I got this email yesterday:
Hello Tatastrophy,
Upon further review, you should have gotten your decision back on 9 March.​
Please confirm if you get the message. If so, Mr. Wallace will resend ​
your decision.​
Thank you,​
I am alright though. My friend brought Turkish Delights over to cheer me up last night. They did the trick. 🙂

Good luck on the exam. Sorry your roommate is silly.
