Snow. What The Fuck?

So... snow is beautiful.  It makes everything just look THAT much Christmasier (sic) and just has that certain "je ne sais quois" to it. 

Well fuck that. I drive. As a person that commutes to and from work, and pays his taxes, I'd like to just say that our local government has really fucked the dog during this dump of white shit.

26 cm of snow, and I've seen 2 sand trucks (no salt) and a plow. But what REALLY gets me is the fact that they plow the main roads... and nothing else! Sure, the highway is clear as a bottle of water, but to get to it, you need snowshoes and a pack of dogs.

Why do I pay my taxes?? I shouldn't HAVE to own a 4x4 to get groceries for less than a foot of snow. It's ridiculous. I have lived in Edmonton, Prince George, Houston, BC, Smithers, BC, Terrace.... I have NEVER had so much trouble getting around in my car.  And what's worse is no-one else seems to see the problem with driving 70 km/h in a snow drift in a Saturn. 

I have an idea.... Everyone has heard of geothermal heat, right???  All roads from now on should be equipped with a series of pads made of steel and pipes drilled down to access geothermal heat, so that the road surface never drops below 8 degrees Celsius. Snow would never stick to it, therefore SAVING money in the long run on sand, salt trucks, plows, and other needless things that not only cost money, but cause damage to the environment. 

I am NOT dreaming of a white Christmas. I'm living it.  This is my Nightmare.

NOODLE ON MY ARM!

Why can't people just chew with their fucking mouths closed?  Is it really that hard to hold off on telling me your excellent news about your totally bodacious day for like 30 seconds? Or is it just out of necessity/habit that you scream-laugh into MY food while I am TRYING to enjoy my lunch/dinner with you? 

Hang on... breaking news:

WE ARE AT THE SAME TABLE

Im not going to get up and leave right at that precise moment that you have stopped chewing and can FINALLY tell me that story that I can obviously see you are holding back on so you can slide your gruel down your gullet. You have given me the "Oooh! I have to tell you something!" motion with your index finger... you know... the "Number 1" symbol, but with an up-and-down jiggly motion?

Ya. I know what that means. STOP BATHING ME IN YOUR MEAL.

I like sushi as much as the next guy, but this isn't a day spa, and I don't need a kelp bath.

Close your mouth. Chew. Relax. Enjoy. Shut the fuck up.

"Blackbird" Browser by Mozilla

Mozilla has helped develop a new browser codenamed "Blackbird" and a beta version has been released online. I have not posted a link for this browser because all in all, I disagree completely with its whole premise.

The concept of this browser is "A browser for the African-American Public."

No one else. Just African Americans. This means that in all its entirety, there is nothing on this browser of interest to anyone who isn't black. All of the bookmarks, the quicklinks, the search engine, and even the color scheme is Black-oriented.

I am appalled, utterly disgusted, and outraged by this. How dare a company (owned and operated by African-Americans) allow their premiere product to be so racist, and anti-caucasian and not even realize it?

What if a company that was made up of all-white people decided to release a browser called "Whiteboard" and it was "Only for Anglo-Saxon / Caucasian People"???

Would that be acceptable? Would it be right?  I highly doubt the majority of the public would openly accept such a concept, so why is it ok to do the Blackbird browser???

Racism comes from many angles. This one is sharp.
