Ok, someone found my art thread using the search terms "flamers burgers". I get the flamers part since that's the name of one of the units I use all the time and probably talked about them on that page, but the burgers throws me for a loop.

A new chain of restaurants, founded on Tzeentchian principles?

Hey, you even get to keep the Change!

I'd argue that the joy of finding money buried in a pants pocket is very similar, and a frequent occurrence for this male.

I just got the most random what I'm assuming to be a scam email.

Really odd question (I need a roommate in Victorville)

I'm a pre-op, pre-therapy, pre-everything transgender girl in Hinkley, California (about an hour from Victorville) and until recently I thought I was going to be moving to New York state where I could find a therapist to help me, because there aren't any in my town or the nearby city of Barstow, but there are up there. But the person who was going to be my roommate bailed out on me and stranded me here. My first thought when I found out there was a therapist in Victorville was to see if I could find somebody living up there that I could... move in with. I looked for people with interests that people that aren't totally disgusted by me usually have (Minecraft... Art... Minecraft again) and your were the only name that came up. You seem to be a professional artist and I'm sure this email is the last kind of thing you would have expected, so I can understand if you just mark this as Spam and never take a second look. It was worth a shot.

If (for some reason) you would consider this, we could get to know each-other on Twitter, (my username is [redacted]) Skype, ([redacted]) or email. Which is... this.

Hoping to hear back from you.

That is way, WAY too specific to be a mass scam. They also usually don't ask you to reply to the email they sent it from. Did you check their twitter?

I do feel bad for them if it is real, but at the same time I have a general policy of not responding to random strangers asking to move in with me. It's a policy that has served me well and I don't intend to change it. If she's computer-literate enough to search facebook for people in victorville who like art and minecraft (oddly specific things to have as a prerequisite for a roommate, honestly), then she should have no problem googling for a roommate matching service, or even trying craigslist.

I tend to forget that I still have like ~$800 of rolled change in my closet...

Jake and I have been saving change for 4 years. We have almost $300. We were going to use it for our honeymoon, but we've decided to keep saving it. It's amazing how it all adds up.

That disgusts me. I'm about 1/2 way through The Omnivore's Dilemma, and because of it, will hopefully eat as little fast food or junk food as possible for the rest of my life. Also, I find it ridiculous that society eats so much bacon as it does because LOL BACON

Auuugh I cannot understand this! I eat bacon, but I can't understand this fascination with putting it on everything. That does not sound appealing.

It's because it's a MAN thing, Ceej. You wouldn't understand, you don't like bacon or fast cars or pure fire vroom vroom

Bacon is AMAZING.

But all things in moderation. I've cut back my meat eating now to about once a week.
Ironically, I had a few hiccups in the past few weeks while staying with my vegetarian sister and brother-in-law, probably ate meat 3-4 times a week in that period instead. (Brother-In-Law has relapsed into eating meat out of stress) But back to normal now that I'm living on my own. I intend to go full fledged vegetarian from here out.

Can't remember the last time I had bacon. Probably in December or January.

Don't get me wrong, I like bacon, too. I grew up eastern-european; everything is a hodgepodge of bacon, potatoes, beets and sourcream. That "man" joke about bacon being FUCKING SUPREME is soooo ollllld now. I get it, Burger King, fat people will eat it. Fat people will do anything you want them to do if you market it right and make it cheap enough.

Haven't even heard of this. But I'm guessing the main point of it is that people need to SERIOUSLY cut back on their meat intake.

No, no, not at all (well, I mean, yeah), it's mostly about how our food is being made, and that the omnivore's dilemma is that you can't walk into a grocery knowing what the hell the food actually is, almost as though we've had to revert to the primitive state of trying everything for the first time because you have no fucking clue how it's affecting you. Which, in America, means mostly eating cheap processed foods because the neither the farmers nor the consumers are in control of what they eat, but agribusiness that found out how to bilk us all with corn and soy, essentially.
