Do you have any nicknames?

Eli is nice. It means my God in hebrew.

 

The first example is ok.

But the garbage is different because there is a power dynamic and stuff. It's not like the garbage is just there. It's like billions spent on addiction research and focus groups and shit like that and marketing and exploiting every single human weakness so that MOST people will fall for it and you know it and make this multi-corp giant from the U.S.A. heaps of cash.

And then if there is a local garbage industry, they'll undercut you or buy you drive you out of business...

I say, if we're so big on being punitive, be punitive toward the garbage-spilling industries that make that stuff too!

 

why thank you

 

I got P.I.T.A from a bunch of friends (pain in the ass) and mostly everyone who is close to me calls me Holl or Holls..
when I was really blonde everyone at the bar I used to go to alot called me blondie..

 

they don't need to watch E, i live in the usa and i don't watch E. you make a choice, you suffer the consequences. it's their own damned fault.

 

E doesn't allude status for you.

Plus, you're probably educated and stuff.

If you're like little peasant and think the U.S. streets are paved with gold, you're more likely to watch E.

It's not some kind of coincidence or individual stuff. It's numbers and statistics...and we all know a certain percentage will fall for it regardless of individual responsibility moral schematics.

 

shit, i've been exposed to all the same crap as everyone else, i didn't fall for it. i KNOW it's crap.

now it's one thing to take a shameful delight in watching something incredibly stupid or useless. that's fun, silly, lighthearted. but if you don't like paying attention to it and you STILL pay attention to you, you need to find a brick wall and pound some sense into your own head.

 

Well. I think we've reached an impasse.

I like to come from an approach where you neither act like people are like these defenseless, totally lacking in agency, little thingies...

Nor do you keep yelling at them for being stupid. I know I'm not immune to being exploited...I don't like TV but I've been a smoker and shit.

My fault? Yes.

Does that mean I want the tobacco industry deregulated and keep spewing stuff about individual responsibility? Hell no!

 

i yell on here because i'm much more gentle with people in real life. i need to vent. it IS their fault, but if i don't get it out here my frustration bubbles over on those poor hapless sheep who couldn't help themselves and just need a supportive shoulder.

so there.

 

They also need fair competition!

 

my nickname IS boogabaah... or booga..

 

that tv network is one of the dumbest there is. though it has a lot of competition on it's hands. occaisonaly they play an alright episode of the e true hollywood story. but that channel laregly glorifies shallow and empty people and only because they happen to be famous.

 

Lae, let, titi, tisou.. Frenchie.. Twig

 

Aww....thats all very cute.
I wish I had a cute, sweet nickname....

 

Pee Bag. Yep, that's my nickname. I had a bladder infection that I foolishly told my boyfriend about, who texted me asking "how's your pee bag feeling?" Another friend intercepted the text and read it before I came in the room, she asked me, I told her, and from then on ... everyone's called me pee bag. Seriously.

 

tree hugger, Satan, Hugger Mugger Pickle Milk, Bitch, Angel, and Angel Baby.

 

dave used to call me baby doll. i really miss that.

 

My name is Allison so most people call me "Al", few will call me "Allie", and my brother and his friends call me "Sin". My sister gave me the nickname "Hasselhoff", which got shortened to "Hassel", and then twisted into "Hassan". I can't really explain why...

 

i love it whenever i get called baby doll, sadly it happens not too often
dave should totally start calling you that again

allison, from now on you are sin, that's freaking awesome

i don't have nicknames...bitch, whore, slut..those are just the ones my family uses...

 

I agree. KC you should refuse to get Dave a beer and such unless he addresses you as Baby Doll.

Jess, I think it's a pretty wicked name. My little bro used to have problems saying my name. He would say "A-sin! A-sin!", when he was little. He just started calling me Sin one day, and all of his friends thought it was hilarious so now it's become kind of new nickname for me.

Do people ever pronounce your name in French, ma petite Jess-i-ca!?!
