Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

It's strange, I find the most compelling literature to be of the dystopian genre, while in art, the romantic era/genre. Especially the German stuff.

Dystopian futures be damned! Kill the Beast! If I were gonna make him suffer in a dystopian sense I feel it'd be better to take him out back and give him 'The Receiver' treatment.
In fact thats a book you're gonna have to get in touch with Mag. At least here everyone had to read it in like 7th grade. Never... heard.... of it...

What are the general price/data allowance for plans over there?
Depends on what kind of provider and packages you're looking for.
The most popular is unlimited talk, text and data (generally capped at 1500 minutes, 3000 texts, and 2GB data). Which can range anywhere from $30-60 a month. However, at least Sprint, to my knowledge, doesn't throttle or surcharge you per MB if you go over their invisible limits.
Madness. We have 4 main providers over here and I've looked through all their different plans. I'm currently on the plan with the highest possible data allowance per month (15gb) but I didnt really want it for the data,it just happened to have the best data for the calls/texts/flexible units that I wanted.Last I checked the next highest data cap was 5gb and the lowest was 250mb
40 euro a month
I pay $50 a month for mine and have a fraction of what your plan offers.
Competitors offer little to no difference in that either.

You don't know the book called the The Giver had to read it here in middle school. It's actually a good dystopian novel. You could finish that thing in a day easy.

Well mag feels like bram stoker is to blame for twilight too :<
I wouldn't say that, considering Myers downright ignored any folklore therein. Ah, but didn't Stoker bring the vampire myth to the mainstream?
I suppose he did. But at least I can appreciate the given origins to Vlad the Impaler. Romanians be crazy!

I do have considerably less calls/texts than the original plan you listed though. I have 350 minutes,350 texts,15gb data and 350 flexiunits. A flexiunit can be used for anything and 1 unit = 1 voice call minute,3 texts or 1mb data.
Here's a question I always wondered based on stuff I saw on tv and crap. When you have free minutes and stuff in the US,do they get used when people call you too?

History is more my niche than literature, sorry to derail the lit conversation! Thanks to the burning of books by Franz Kafka during that time I had to read one of his books in school.

Spiderman Sounds good except for the dead baby... I guess the pants are debatable.

I'm too much of a shut in to really monitor or take notice to consumed minutes or texts. But that is a good question. However, with communication mediums being bottle necked through internet interfaces and protocols, it wouldn't be too surprising for SMS and network calls to eventually evaporate.

Ah, the Metamorphosis.
Existentialism is a very depressing and *** up genre.
There's always Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Dostoyevsky if you're still interested though.

Ughhhhh.
That's more or less how I feel about those works xD
Not all Metamorphosis are bad!
Just go back a few...many hundred years and read Ovid's!

It's funny, I think the inner story dilemma of space/planetary diplomacy is what eventually caused my loss of interest in the Mobile Suit/Gundam shows as a kid. But now that I can actually comprehend and appreciate the complexities, I should pick it up again.
Robots and explosions are always cool though.

Deep tissue bruising as well as bone bruising is, actually, pretty normal with high impact despite visibility. And I know my body and my pain, and I can tell you it's nothing but bruising and muscle soreness. Thank you for your concern though. I often thought you were incapable of kindness.<3 lol... It's not really kindness... I just see a lot of this in my line of business... Not really one to fear monger either just seen it one too many times where people disregard injuries because "they know their own body" or "the pain will just go away" and it turns out to be something else... Not really saying you don't either just commenting... Ah, of course it's not kindness. You are in fact incapable of that. I think something like this is pretty hard to miss. And like I said, if it's still there in a week, I already indicated I'll have it looked at. The wonderful thing about insurance these days are, well, many of us don't have that great of insurance. Least to say mine only works in a specific district (hours away, where I'm originally from) and I don't have the time to scurry over there without going to an after hours clinic or missing something important that I'm not even hindered from with this injury. If it still seems like a problem in a week, I'll take it more seriously, rest assured darling Flavin. That's life. I couldn't have you think I was kind at all :) but coming from you it doesn't really mean much...
Is that life? lol... even without adequate insurance it's going to end up costing someone more when they ignore something and it turns out to be something real and then they spend 10 times more because they excaserbated the situation.. That's life too lol...
I honestly hope nothing is wrong with ya though... wouldn't really wish that on anyone...

It's really hard finding ones that don't have a blacklisted word on them. Too lazy to edit them.

I wish SE would do more with adventuring fellows.
Give em ranged weapons, more spells, more traits, maybe even more unique abilities than their pseudo-2hr.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
