They are not coincidences, just random events


Chad is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world

Today someone said "you cook right?" and I said "yeah, sometimes" and they asked "how long do you boil water?" This lead to an even unfunnier "who's on first type bit" where I asked them what they meant and they said they wanted to know how long to boil water. Eventually I figured out they were asking me how long to cook pasta. I love to judge people in general but I don't like to judge people to not being able to articulate themselves well since I have that issue myself - but come on.

Also if you have pasta you have a box that tells you specifically how long to cook it. Unless you're getting loose pasta somewhere. And if you're buying loose pasta I think you need to examine what you're doing.

"40 at the farmer's market-"

Zip your lid, I don't want to hear it.

On May 11th 1991 the Star Trek Episode "the Host" aired. It was the 23rd episode of the 4th season. The number one song was "Joyride" by Roxette. Thelma and Louise was #1 at the box office. The Novel by James Michener was a best selling book.

This episode introduces the Trill race which later would be featured prominently in Deep Space Nine. The Trill are worms that live in a pile of goo and they have these other people (are they also Trill ? I think that's just the worm) that think it's cool to have a worm live in them so if you win the Olympics on Trillworld and are super smart and have nice cans you win the honor of having a worm live inside you.

It's never made exactly clear how this works. Sometimes it seems like the worm takes over and the person is gone, sometimes it seems like they're somehow both in charge. It's sci-fi so nothing is really explained. Interesting side note in fantasy they often explain things that make no sense because it's magic in crazy detail, whereas in science fiction which is supposed to be grounded in reality they often don't even both and just essentially use science as magic.

Anyway so one of these worm-people comes aboard and Beverly falls in love with him - real quick. But he gets kicked in the dick so hard he dies - the body, the worm is fine. But it needs a new body - they can't live outside the goo without a body to infest. So they put the worm in Riker.

And Riker is all like "hey Beverly I'm the worm guy lets bone !" which implies that Riker is gone I guess? But that doesn't seem to be how it works later in DS9 when the lady from Becker loses her worm. Anyway Beverly is freaked out because Riker is her best friend and it would be weird. And the worm is like "I' not really Riker, I'm the guy you were already boning!"

Eventually Beverly gets over it and they bone.

So then the new host body shows up from Trillworld and they stick the worm in there. And Beverly is pumped but then she finds out that the her host body is a lady!

She can't deal so she tells worm-lady to hit the bricks.

When I saw this I was like "Boo, if you're in love just get over it and be super gay". But then I wondered if my girlfriend showed up tomorrow and was a dude would I be okay with that? And the answer is of course not, because I'm not gay. So why was I expecting this fictional character from a TV show in 1991 to be cool with it?

There's definitely some kind of notion out there that for a woman that's not as big of a deal. I don't know if that comes from porn or what. Maybe it has to do with an association between homosexuality and femininity? I don't know but I think it exists, I don't think it's just me.

Anyway that was my own personal prejudice that I discovered today. The fun part about being alive is there always new things to learn and dislike about yourself.

I've been told there's a test that will tell you how racist you are. Pretty sure I don't want to know that.

What horrible thing have you learned about yourself recently?

Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

I'm old so I already have learned all my horribleness.

btw - both are Trills but designated as Trill host and Trill symbiont.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Eh, I don't think it's wrong to say that in general women are more open to sliding a little way down the spectrum from straight to gay. Not sure why that is. Maybe it's just that guys get a lot more grief if it seems like they have gay tendencies. Whereas with women it's considered to be cute. Or even hot.

I am pretty sure I'm a racist because on dating sites I almost always click 'pass' on people of other races. I could tell myself it's because the person didn't express themselves well, and I'm all about the well written profiles, but still...

However last night I did eat in a restaurant that most whiteys would be afraid to go into...in a neighborhood that suburban folks are afraid to visit. Does that help offset my racist dating habits?
