The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Dear Milkshake Makers of the World:

I have something to tell you, and it may come as a bit of a shock. In fact, I know it'll come as a shock to most of you, so you might want to sit down first. Ready?
( Yes, I'm going to make you click this )

If ever there was a man deserving of Stabbity Death, it would be this guy. Thanks, it's great to know that all the evils of the world are my fault, just because I'm female. Do us all a favor and take yourself out of the gene pool, thanks.

I think this sentance sums up, more concisely than I ever could, why exactly it is that you need to die:

The women of America would do well to consider whether their much-cherished gains of the right to vote, work, murder and freely fornicate are worth destroying marriage, children, civilized Western society and little girls.

I'm horrified that this man calls himself libertarian. *STAB*

[EDIT] Oh my god, the arrogance doesn't cease!

Young men with expensive sports cars and recording contracts with record companies attract a lot of attention from young women. When they play on stage, women bare their breasts, attempt to sneak backstage before and after the show to give them their phone numbers and home addresses and so forth. These women also tend to be far more attractive than the run-of-the-mill mall shopper.

Despite my morally objectionable past, I was fortunate enough to subsequently encounter a beautiful blonde girl who was willing to sign on as my permanent partner-in-crime. Is she comatose?

My point, again, is that the women's rights genie is almost surely going back in the bottle one way or another, regardless of what educated, liberated, upper middle class women want. It is a societal dead end, and societies that embrace it will eventually be swallowed up by those that don't *STAB*

We are only 32 years into the grand experiment and already it is showing definite signs of failure. Ah, experiment, is it? Asshole.

If you don't think Hillary Clinton will be running the country in four years, you're crazy. Ever been stuck in a room full of women when they decide on something ridiculous like "Andie McDowell has been the most beautiful woman in Hollywood for the past 15 years" and they will absolutely stick together until the death when you're posing counterarguments? Well, I think that's how the 2008 election is going to unfold -- Hillary is going to be Andie McDowell-ed right into the presidency. If she becomes president, that means any woman can become president. It's too important not to vote for her. So they'll vote for her. What the fuck?

Perhaps I can explain this on a point-by-point basis, some of those critics suffering from knee-to-chin disease will be able to grasp that this has nothing to do with my attitude towards women in general, but is a straightforward economic and demographic issue. Somehow, I don't believe him. At all.

[EDIT2] After reading this gem, I think I need to stop, or I'm going to be forced to track this man down and drive over him repeatedly. With a steamroller.

Imagine the ultimate World of Women. Nothing but trashy romance novels, unfattening gourmet food, robots who look like Brad Pitt and George Clooney equipped with adjustable-speed vibrating genitalia and none of those mean, brutish beings called men.

Oh, no - nothing wrong with his view of women!

Recent Netflix stats from tallrock:

You have rented 176 DVDs over 8 months. (That's an average of 22 DVDs per month).
On average, 31% of your rentals were delayed (i.e. 'throttled') by Netflix.
In your most recent month of data (08/2005), your rentals were delayed 71% of the time.
In processing the input data, the program found 2 problem rentals and 2 multiple rentals.

Full data here.

I've been throttled 71% of the time this month. At least - this doesn't include my three most recent rentals, for whatever reason (probably because I haven't even gotten them yet), all of which were throttled. What I find even more interesting are the gap stats - essentially, the rate of throttling. Since March there's been a marked increase in my throttle rate every single month.

However, throttling seems to be the lowest on movies recieved by Netflix on a Friday, which means one thing - I should have two discs waiting for me at home tonight. I'm going to watch both, then either drop them off at the post office tonight, or take the alternate route to work that takes me by the Spotsy post office, ensuring that Netflix recieves them tomorrow, making my chances of getting more DVDs for the weekend that much higher.

You might also note that with only a slight drop last month, mostly due to having too many other commitments, the number of rentals I've been able to manage has increased, probably due to the various tricks I've come up with thwart Netflix. Ha ha!
