Someone left some stuff with me ages ago, and it eventually had to go - no contact with them, so chucking it was the order of the day. One bag was a couple of dozen VHS pornos. The council tip had a thing specifically for videos, so I dumped them in that. You've never seen hi-viz jackets move so fast.

You're supposed to leave them in railway sidings for others to find.

My wife and I did some woods cleanup last spring (old tires, couches, junk, etc) and picked up a whole black garbage bag someone had tossed. We were using black garbage bags as we went to separate and collect the recyclables and non recyclables and when we got home accidentally opened the whole bag we'd found. It had homegrown Polaroid woods porn in it :aaa: :wtf:

Nothing truly offputting, just very odd to open a bag of what you expect to be beer bottles and plastics and instead find dirt encrusted Polaroids containing full frontal nudity and penetration. Who just tosses that poo poo in the woods?!

A friend of mine got a short term job at a goodwill or salvation army thrift store and the amount of porno and sex toys that was found stuffed in furniture was shocking even to the most jaded and "seen it all" people who had never worked there before. She took a picture of a massive black dildo that looked like it was half the size of a fire hydrant. I think that was just in a garbage bag of clothes so the donator had to know it was there.

Just got a letter from Mazda.

The airbag inflator recall has been figured out and I am entitled to one free driver's airbag inflator for the 6. Ahahahahahah.

Guess I should call the local dealership and commit a moving violation.

E: They describe the issue with a lot more detail than in previous times too. Instead of playing down the danger this one says (paraphrased) "Yo, it builds up pressure over time and may eject metal into your face." I'd been driving that car for years like this. :stare:

Got one of those last summer for my wife's dearly departed 6.

Called a dealer, they told me to bring it in sometime in July. Of this year.

Hey, the airbag is a claymore waiting to happen and just happens to be pointed at your passenger's face but you're cool with waiting 13 months, right? :suicide:

People are bad at very large and very small numbers. Yes there is an elevated risk from the crappy inflators but the chance of horrible death is still pretty drat low if you do the math, far lower than the also-low chance of it saving your life in a similarly low chance accident. If my crapcan had one in it I would keep it there, schedule replacement, and just be very cautious driving.

Humidity is a factor, and in the entire time I've owned the car, every day below freezing means ice on the inside of the windshield, usually enough to require scraping. One of the reasons it keeps eating blower motors is due to the blower motor having to always be on to keep the windows from fogging when they're not down.

Also, given how it suffers from a severe case of Mazda curse, I wouldn't put it past my particular 6 to be in the lethal inflation group.

Everyone is bad at very large numbers. I was just talking about that with my wife a couple days ago.

We are in the Milky Way galaxy. There somewhere between 100 and 400 BILLION stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Hubble telescope was pointed at one area for about 6 months. The size of that area, if you hold out your arm, is the size of a 1mm by 1mm square (actually a bit farther out, it's actually about a meter away from you) held up to the sky.

What it saw was this:


Every thing that you see there is a galaxy, in many ways like the Milky Way. There are thousands of galaxies there... in one random, extremely small area that's out there in the sky we ignore daily.

Yeah, we're really bad at very large numbers, because we have infinitesimally small brains. But it's amazing to even wonder what is out there.

I have a new plan, after talking with a counselor over drill weekend (I ended up calling a crisis line Friday night -- not suicidal, but I was scaring myself with how sad I was):

I can't send mixed messages, so no "I love you" or anything messages today. Instead, I'm going to order some food for her while I'm at work, because that's a "neutral" gift.

Saturday morning, before she wakes up, I'm going to rent the smallest U-Haul box. I'm going to start packing it, and I've already got maybe 60% of my things boxed up and out on the back patio covered with a tarp. My tools are already cleaned up and ready, as shown last week.

When she wakes up, I'll give her the news. It'll be ugly. There will be crying. But, I'll keep moving things out while I do that.

Hopefully I can get away unscathed.

The counselor was very clear that she might not love me like I think, but instead most likely has a dependant personality that she interprets as love because she doesn't know better. She also says I'm not at fault for cheating, because I checked out years ago. But she says I AM guilty of having a caretaker, enabler personality, and I need to move away and :sever: so I can start my own healing.

I have to call the counselor (slash Colonel) Saturday night after I'm out and away. If I don't, she was very clear that she'd grab a few leaders from my national guard unit, and forcefully extract me from the house that night. A very clear, but understandable, threat/forced assistance. She also wants me to follow up every two weeks after, to check to see if I need to go back on either Adderall or anti-depressants. I was on both before joining the army back in 2010.


Catte still won't eat, but looks better and has more movement after giving him fluids and forcing formula down him every six hours.
