"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Man, [bleep] marriage. I keep seeing everyone else's relationships fail, and I'm reminded why I'm never wanting children or a marriage. Marriage just isn't compatible with how humans are, it goes against human nature. Humans are not by design, monogamous. And to claim anything otherwise is just lying to yourself.

7 years of Tip.it Forums
Hmm, It's been a while, hasn't it? Also what the [bleep] I've been posting here for almost seven years. Oh, and Mlbfan is back and he's still a pest. Nothing's changed since I stopped posting here a long time ago.

Textbooks
$0. I stopped buying books. None of my upper compsci courses have online assignments behind a code or anything. That, and if I really need to I can just find a torrent of the needed books pretty fast. Last semester? $130, and I only used one of them.

how many warning points do you have?
3 actual points, 12 warnings. As it turns out, giving harsh advice isn't warranted. Neither is posting while drunk.

Shooting Massacre at Dark Knight Rises Premiere
Uh, nice try. I'm more or less thinking that mental illness needs to be more recognizable so those individuals can receive help. Gun control has nothing to do with this. The guy is clearly a madman. Gun control does nothing in a country where guns are so easily accessible.

Today...
So for the past few months I've been volunteering as an EMT, they usually pay enough to feed us, and I needed something to do outside of classes as I had too much free time for my own good. I've seen all sorts of shit, from burn victims to the poor guy who accidentally shot himself, but this case takes the cake: A few weeks ago we got a call where someone in an apartment building called in a foul odor coming from their neighbors room. The police had removed the lock and entered for a wellness check after learning that the resident hadn't been seen in quite some time. I shit you not, inside was the body of a woman (about 75 years old, give or take), half-way decomposed and melted into her reclining chair facing out of a large window with a nice view. It was the middle of April, and unusually warm, and there was plenty of sun coming in, so for the last few weeks her skin had been baked to a crisp, and most of her (rotted) interior had leaked from just about every opening you can imagine, and completely drenched the chair, carpet, clothing, and everything in a five-foot radius. Imagine the worst smell you've ever experienced, mix it with dog shit, horseradish, limburger cheese, multiply by 10, and that's the stench that hit us AFTER gas masks. Even with the masks a bunch of us still threw up, me included. The kicker to all of this: There was a small dog the deceased kept in her apartment, and the horror of the situation hit me once I noticed what appeared to be bite marks on the legs. THAT DOG LIVED BY EATING HUMAN LEG FOR A FEW WEEKS, WHAT THE SHIT ಠ_ಠ After this, I don't think I could be any more terrified of horrible stenches. It's worse than the case of the 14-year-old who was burned and died about 20 minutes after arriving in the ER.

Drinking/Drugs
So apparently half a glass of whiskey is enought o screw me up. Then again gin caused me to end up [bleep]ing my 17-year-old cousin who looks a hell of a lot like Sunny from SNSD, short hair version at some wedding receptions, so maybe I'm not 100% sure how badly alcohol in general affect's me.

Double standards
And these double standards are why I hate the court system right now. In short I'm currently fighting a rape accusation. My lawyer has advised me not to say anything in specific about the case, but knowing how the courts are, and how conservative the jury always is in general, I'm not feeling too excellent about my odds. Supposedly the only evidence they have is me walking into a bar with this girl. That's it. I was told in short that she looked like she was the only one who was drunk when we both entered that bar. My response: Anyone who has been around drunks knows that not all drunks stumble about. For example, I'm the kind of drunk that isn't horribly phased by the stuff, but I tend to just become clingy, then fall asleep randomly. Just by virtue of the fact the accuser is a girl in this instance, my odds are automatically shot down to 1000:1 in favor of the opposing party. I've got enough evidence in my favor to avoid a guilty verdict in the entire matter, but it's still bullshit that crap like this can ruin my job opportunities. I'm not going to even start with divorce courts, which are even worse about being in favor of the female. If there's a divorce, chances are, if you're a guy, expect to start wasting money on alimony payments you can't afford to pay, and let's not get into children either if you have those, because if you're a guy, say goodbye to them. The courts will invariably rule in favor of the woman in terms of custody 99.9% of the time. Double standards are bullshit and they gotta go, period.

Feds Shut Down Megaupload.com
Good joke. Unfortunately they aren't obligated to compensate anything. In any case, time to download like mad. I refuse to lose because of this crap. That said, I can still find music I want, it's honestly not that hard, all the takedowns are doing is slowing down aquisition time at worst.

Free Healthcare for lawbreakers?
I am hoping this pun was horribly unintentional. Yes, they should be treated, although I do think they shouldn't have priority over anyone else unless they're at risk of dying right then and there.
