@Bobotron I'm an only child and single parent. I've been listening to a 17 year old curse at Dragonball Xenoverse for the last 4 days. >.>

@Miss-Demeanor
... okay, that I'll feel you on. Hopefully you'll get a reprieve when they're both there and can entertain each other? -
@Bobotron Nope! Tooooooooooootally different kids, they like wildly separate things. XD What will happen is lots of fighting as the older attempts to force the younger to play fighting games with him that the younger one knows he can't win so will just fuck around on... which pisses off the older one more.

@silentsophia If its any consolation, nobody in my household will be setting foot outside until at least Sunday.
This is me, too. Out there? Oh hell no. Oh hell no and y'all can't make me nope nope nope.

This is totally why I refuse to have a second child; my daughter has multiple personalities (she thinks she is Raphael and sometimes Donatello from the ninja turtles) but she is obsessed with frilly tutus, fart jokes, *killer-robots, and old-school Ghostbusters cartoons. Simply put, there is no way she would ever be compatible with another innocent human being & the idea of trying to make her get along with another child breaks me out in a cold sweat. Nope, I'm good. I don't want that stress - one kid is enough for me!
Enclosed is the VERY FIRST drawing-with-a-caption she ever made after learning to read:
Note the careful labeling of the body parts: Ray gun, head. Because apparently that's all that really matters. The caption at the bottom is cut off because I was using a shoddy cell phone camera - but yes, it says 'le Plan'. She was born to be a cheesy Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain.
I won't be having another. I already feel mildly apprehensive about the one I've got, but at least she's not old enough to talk politics at Thanksgiving dinner... yet.

Doing new training, I'm the only Canadian. Trainer is telling me I'm wrong and there is no timezone past Eastern.

@Insomnia A real-person trainer?
Wait till he/she/it finds about about Newfoundland time...

@dontpanda The trainer:

@dontpanda Yep, she knew I was the only Canadian in the class too. She's from Texas. So...?
@WTFE 'Merica!

@Insomnia I love fucking with people like that. My current favourite is to tell people who say their time zone is "EST" (as if this is something universally understood) that my time zone is "CST".
This causes endlessly entertaining "misunderstandings" because it is, just not the CST they're thinking of. Some of them figure out after all the hijinks that perhaps it's best to talk about UTC±<n> (or GMT±<n> if you must) rather than thinking that "EST" and "CST" and "MST" and such are actually globally standard names.
-
I ended up figuring it out on my own after.
At least I get paid in US funds, then they convert it to Canadian before paying me, so yay.

Motherfucking people bitching about their bloody Freedom of Speech when private companies censor speech in private areas. I do not know that I have a stronger pet peeve. AUGH. Infuriates me so much.

This is punctuated incorrectly.
Motherfucking people bitching about their bloody Freedom of Speech.
Better…
Motherfucking people bitching.
Oh, this is much closer!
Motherfucking people.
And here we have the bingo point.

Nope. My anger is pretty specific. Thanks for playing, though.

I used to (for work) moderate a forum populated mostly by (and geared towards) kids in the 9-15 range. This meant certain things were off-limits, per the lawyers. Understandably so. We didn't need the lawsuit from 14-year-old Suzie roleplaying (roleplay was a big deal on these boards) sexual things with Billy who turns out to be a 35-year-old man (never mind personal morals I have there).
I did moderation and handled a lot of the emails to the moderators. The amount of times I had to explain that 'freedom of speech' doesn't apply to a privately owned site with a very specific ToS... I had a macro for it by the end.

My pet peeve: humourless cunts.

I might be wrong, as I live in a country without statutory or constitutional freedom of speech - but such a thing is simply "the government can't pass laws limiting how you can express yourself (most of the time)" right?

@Tinuviel Is it legal in your country to draw graffiti, or preach in public places the merits of child pornography, or to walk the streets naked? Most places have laws limiting how people can express themselves, if only because people are not particularly prone to discretion when not hemmed in by some enforced boundaries.
