SRK Lounge: The Search for Ronin

[odin]

People are so fucking hip.

You can go fuck yourself if you think I’m drinking beer from an Erlenmeyer.

[Richter]

omfg how is this even a thing:

How the FUCK are you going to get all the flavor of the beer if you can’t smell it? You’re ROBBING people of the taste from the beer. It’s why you don’t drink craft beers from a bottle and instead pour it in a fucking glass.

I’m so angry.

Some souless ginger poured that beer, look at that uncouth mongrel’s hand giving a thumbs. @Vynce get your people in line

[MrMelonGod]

I made a thing for the three of you that remember Street Fighter EX2+.

[NickRocks]

I drink all beer from a bottle because it doubles as a weapon later

You don’t need a weapon, you already got your guns.

There’s an old phrase that’s pretty applicable to this hipsterish trendy shit-

Style over substance.

(Hipsters are clearly committing the sin known as “existing”. Please do your civic duty and end them as swiftly as possible to help absolve them of said sin.)

Hmm…this would appear to be one of those days where my insomnia has me stay awake more than 24 hours despite intentionally doing even duller things than usual to attempt to tire myself out. Well, whatever. I wanted to clean and recycle thoroughly today anyway and still need to find my fucking phone so I can replace the battery in it.

I guess it’s also fortunate that it happens today since I don’t want to have to go outside today and be forced to deal with even more assholes smoking than usual, even if today will likely be more marijuana than cigarette smoke. I’ll still pass on dealing with that, though at least it never gets as bad on this site as it gets in SF. Dolores Park is going to get wrecked again today.

(Huh. The local news briefly played “Tank!” when talking about the upcoming weather segment at the end of the broadcast. That was…random.)

Nothing else to say on that front, so I guess I might as well post it given I’ve talked about it and people would bitch otherwise:

Everything she touches is audio-gold.

[Manx]

Should I find someone to blaze with tonight? I didn’t get that job so no worries about random drug testing. Also, no more family courts to worry over.

Hmmm…

[Blindknagg]

Hipsters, what are you doing?

It’s shit like this that turns a white man into a niggerkin.

Address me using Nig/Nag/Nug pronouns from now on please.

Holy shit I hate the bitter, petty rednecks in my province.

White girls born this year may not live as long as white girls born the year before, according to new life expectancy research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The news is better for non-Hispanic black males and Hispanic men and women.

White women's life expectancy shrinks a bit

Story highlights

Non-Hispanic White women have a slightly lower life expectancy, dropping 0.1 year
Life expectancy for non-Hispanic black men and for Hispanic men increased 0.1
Life expectancy at birth for Hispanic women increased 0.2 years

(CNN)White girls born this year may not live as long as white girls born the year before, according to new life expectancy research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The news is better for non-Hispanic black males and Hispanic men and women. Life expectancy is the number of years you can expect to live based on a statistical average for the population.

The experts from the National Center for Health Statistics ran the numbers for the years 2013 and 2014 and found non-Hispanic white women have a slightly lower life expectancy, dropping 0.1 year.

That may sound like a small change, but “life expectancy numbers for the population have been rather stagnant for some time,” said author Elizabeth Arias. Arias is the demographer with NCHS who created the report. “It is still not trivial if you put it in the context with the other research.”

Overall life expectancy at birth for the U.S. population did not change. It’s at 78.8 years. For non-Hispanic black men, their life expectancy at birth increased 0.1 years and the same was true for Hispanic men. For Hispanic women the news was even better. Life expectancy for them at birth increased 0.2 years. There was no change among non-Hispanic black women nor was there any for non-Hispanic white men.
While there still is a significant life expectancy gap between the non-Hispanic white population and all the other racial and ethnic groups, the gap, especially for the non-Hispanic black population, has shrunk significantly. Experts consider this an encouraging trend.
But the decline in life expectancy for women does give one “a little pause,” said Ellen Meara, an associate professor of health policy and clinical practice at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. "It does bear scrutiny."
It’s hard to know what is driving this trend since it is one year’s worth of data. It could be a blip or there could be something significant happening to shorten white women’s lives. More years of data will be needed for the experts to figure out what the trend may be.
In years past, Meara said, looking at data from the 1990s to 2000, less educated white women saw slight declines in survival rates largely due to tobacco use, which contributed to lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as cardiac problems.

Research earlier this year showed Americans die younger than people in other high-income countries in large part due to drug poisonings, gun injuries and car accidents. Another study showed that death rates among middle aged white Americans, unlike other age groups, have been on the rise since 1999.
“Even a small decrease in life expectancy is disappointing news for women,” Meara said.

Think I might’ve played @ExposedD on SFV yesterday. Dude was playing fang and whooped my ass with his fruity normals and teleport shenanigans.
