Bidets should really be standard.

Two of my colleagues have extremely bizarre shitting habits, one has to completely strip off naked before proceeding and the other habitually showers after each and every shit. His showers last at least 30 minutes, about as long as it takes for him to squeeze one out.
That's another thing, when someone who isn't ill or hungover spends more than 5 minutes taking a shit really grinds my gears.

>>17223
I'm willing to wager that neither of those people do those bizarre things all the time, but that they claim they do to appear like they're off their nut OCD as per the vogue in the past few.

>>17225
These people do exist. I've known people who used to take their washing up home so their mum could do it, or do it only with bleach.

>>17226
That's not really the same, though, is it? I was mainly trying to have a whinge about people who are well OCD.

>>17227

This actually led to an awkward situation for me a while ago where I thought someone was exaggerating in this way until they started talking about needing to lock, unlock, and relock their doors a certain number of times before leaving the house.

>>17228
That's it, though, they were "talking about it". My mate used to claim she went in every room in the house before she went to bed and said goodnight to the room otherwise she wouldn't get a wink of sleep.

I've had a teary about this on here plenty of times. I remember a lad on /emo/ spilling his guts about how OCD has ruined his life to no end and he too can't stand people who claim to have it over daft little things like wanting the volume on their telly to be an even number. We met up one time and burnt an effigy of Jon Richardson together.

>>17229
I bet you do that all the time.

>>17226
I did my laundry and forgot I put my Halloween costume in my laundry bag

That was a fun day at the uni halls laundry room when I pulled that out.

>>17229>>17230

>We met up one time and burnt an effigy of Jon Richardson together.

It's funny you should say that, I have to do that or else I can't achieve orgasm.

Most days I just sort of have the news on in the background while I post here, play a computer game or fall asleep. But tonight I've been paying attention and I think it's given me a brain tumour.

>>17233

It's bad isn't it, those nights where you don't have anything to do but post here.

I've actually been full circle of becoming an alcoholic through sheer bloody routine of late shifts and .gs, and then recovering thanks to the resting actors thread.

I struggle because the news makes me angry/depressed, I've literally read Wikipedia, and Dan Carlin only releases podcasts every lunar e-fucking-clipse. What else is there to do at this time of night?

>>17236
One the reasons I became borderline nocturnal until fairly recently was due to the amount of internet activity that goes on at night.

Regarding news I was sad enough to stay awake all night when I heard bin Laden was killed just so I could break the news first. I was fairly pissed off previously over not breaking the news of Michael Jackson first.

>>17236
>I struggle because the news makes me angry/depressed

Snap. I'll usually visit 2/3 news sites per day, but it's largely just depressing. I can fully understand why some people don't keep abreast of current affairs if it's only going to make them feel down.

>>17239

I'm trying to avoid watching the news now. It's just propaganda. Not being /boo/ about it, but I don't like being told what to be afraid of. Of all the events that occur, I'd rather learn of them as I choose to learn of them, and then make my own mind up.

>>17236
> What else is there to do at this time of night?
I often browse Youtube for any big event and then add the words hoax or conspiracy. Pure gold.

>>17241

You must have a stronger constitution than I.That kind of thing would make my head break.

>>17242
Just yesterday I came across videos regarding the use of space-based energy beams to destroy the twin towers.

>>17236

Read a book, watch a film, whatever.

I've gone a bit /boo/ in my attitude towards the news. It doesn't seem any more accurate or informative than a buzzfeed article.

>>17243
It sounds like you're really falling behind in your following of the news.

>>17244
>Read a book, watch a film, whatever.

This. I usually catch up with tv shows I've fallen behind on, like Homeland, or dip into a book. I've had to cut back on the news though, since I've been reading it since I was around 12/13 and lately noticed how much it's getting me down. I've had to limit myself to science/tech news, medical advances and all that good stuff, as that's pretty much all positive.

Sometimes I'll spend the time learning about a random historical event though, just because.

>>17245
Well maybe I've been using the wrong sources. Obviously the evil mainstream media has hidden the truth about space-based energy beams from me.

You are all weaklings. Why haven't you developed emotional detachment, commitment and other minor psychological issues? You can read all the news you want and not give a shit.

I've just seen someone post on Facebook about not 'riot shaming' the spear chuckers in America.

>>17271
Don't spear-shame them.

How could I have been naive enough to assume that, in the year 2014, I would be able to buy, download, install and play a new game without at least 3-4 hours of fucking around and a cavalcade of seemingly unrelated issues and fucking ball ache.

Fuck you Steam, GFWL, Rockstar and whatever cunt wrote the dodgy DLLs I downloaded to try get my generic USB gamepad working. Fuck you all and I hope your relatives get bowel cancer.

>>17273
Not to start a tired consoles vs. PC debate but I do miss the days when playing on a console meant instant access to the game at the cost of graphical performance. I'm fine with PC games taking that bit longer what with fine tuning for the best performance and a little bit of ball ache.

I wanted to play a game on a friend's PS3 and having to download 1GB of patches and install 5 or so GB was just annoying. Didn't even want to play the game by that point, it was at the point where I couldn't skip the developer logos that I lost the will to play.

>>17271
The whole case makes me pretty ambivalent, but it's clear the officer was correct to act that way. Urban bongos will find any excuse to riot and get their flat screen TVs and bags of rice.

>>17275
Watch those edges lad.

>>17275
Yeah m8, shooting unarmed people is 'correct'

you fucking idiot

>>17277
Doesn't the evidence suggest that the black fella attacked him, tried to steal his gun and then charged at him with his hand down his undercrackers like he was gonna whip out a gun?

>>17278
Don't even bother trying to reason with them. I tried this on facebook (yes, I know, stupid) and was subjected to accusations of racism, being right wing, and eventually just all out name calling.

If you want some proper rage go read the Graun comments on the various HORRIBLE RACIST INJUSTICE STRIKES AGAIN articles.

Frankly I can agree with points from both sides. If you are American, and black, you shouldn't act in such a retarded manner towards a pig because you know you will end up dead. Yes it's rather abhorrent that that's the way things are, but the residents of Ferguson are chimping out in a not dissimilar manner to the people from London a few years ago- Most of them are indeed just after their flatscreen, not social justice.

Frankly it's easier to write of the whole situation as evidence of what a backwards shithole America really is under the surface, and say no more on the matter.

>>17274

To be fair it was my own fault as it turns out- The game worked at first, but I wasn't content to use mouse and keyboard, I had to go and start fucking around to get my controller working. I spent hours faffing around and then it turned out to have been a ssingle, fairly simple mistake I made at stage one of the whole operation.

You know when you get increasingly angry for so long that when you finally figure it out, you just groan and collapse into a fit of giggles? Yup.

... Still it's inexcusable that GFWL exists and tries to insist that the Xbox 360 controller is the ONLY controller ever made. Fuck off.

>>17280
All I've really read on the matter is the evidence, but it seems that most people had their minds made up way in advance and things like facts aren't going to change that.

I just assumed this was about Seppos being trigger happy rather than race, but there was that hoo-hah about that Mexican fella shooting that black lad, who they tried to make out as white so they could bleat on about race so you never know

>>17280
>Most of them are indeed just after their flatscreen, not social justice.
It's what he would have wanted.

>>17278
Isn't it just the police officer saying he ran at him like that? Evidence wise there's marks of a struggle at some point, but I thought it was essentially just his word that he was enraged/charing at him before he shot him.

As for everyone being up in arms about it, there are far clearer cases of police abuse and brutality in America that never got attention like this.

>>17284
The Grand Jury heard evidence from a lot of witnesses. It seems all the ones who claimed Brown had his hands up and wasn't charging ended up contradicting themselves, and also their testimony didn't fit in with the forensic evidence.

>>17284
>Isn't it just the police officer saying he ran at him like that?

IIRC, the blood splatter showed that he'd ran so far towards him while he was being shot at and some of the witnesses backed this up. Like the other lad has said, a lot of the witnesses have had their testimonies turn out to be bullshit once they've been scrutinised.

>>17286
Ah but the forensic evidence was likely collected and analysed by whitey.

>>17284

The whole argument is just sleight-of-hand. It's not OK to shoot an unarmed man just because he's running at you. American policing is adversarial and trigger-happy; Racial discrimination means that black people are disproportionately affected, but their basic standards of policing fall well below what would be acceptable in any other developed nation.

>>17288
Maybe it's because they don't let anyone with a high IQ into the force. There's a very "us vs them" mentality in policing there, like they place loyalty to the force above duty to citizens. Also, aren't they quite fond of tasers over there? I thought police officers usually have one on them.

>>17289
>Maybe it's because they don't let anyone with a high IQ into the force.
Or maybe it isn't. And how true even is your premise? I'm aware of Jordan v. New London, but what of the picture nationally?

>>17288
>It's not OK to shoot an unarmed man just because he's running at you.
This isn't the contention of the people who defend Wilson. Brown had already been hit before the charging took place, so by definition he wasn't killed "just because" of that.

>A struggle took place between Brown and Wilson through the window of the police SUV, a Chevrolet Tahoe. Wilson's gun was fired twice during the struggle, with one bullet hitting Brown's arm while it was inside the vehicle

An entirely different incident, obviously:

>>17290
This. If you live in a trigger-happy backwater like America it's not the best of ideas to attack a police officer, threaten him, try and take his gun or to run at him while making it look like you're drawing a weapon.

One less thug on the street, diddums.

>>17288
>It's not OK to shoot an unarmed man just because he's running at you.
On the contrary, it's Darwinism in action. The intelligent person generally decides not to run at a cop who's pointing a gun at them and says "stop or I'll shoot" in order to not get fucking shot.

>>17292
I heard that he shouted 'get down!' but he misunderstood and started boogie dancing towards him, such as black men are prone to do.

Could you lot not have made a shitty thread in /pol/ about all this? I could have just hidden it then. Thanks for fucking up an amusing /101/ thread though.

>>17294
Let's get back on track.

I hate when threads get derailed.

>>17295
If only Michael Brown had that option!
