I've actually cooked things in the microwave that take half an hour but, yeah...
Well, I’m not surprised there are such things...but our microwave isn’t very good in the first place. To be honest, I’m surprised it lasted the whole time. There was still over seven minutes left to go.

OH GOD THAT SUCKS SO SORRY =( But yeah hair bullets I did not know that's what it was O_o
Eh, I played the hell out of the demo already, got as far as it would let me like twenty times, so it wasn't a HUGE problem. That's part of why I thought it was okay to remove that demo.
Also, about his blaster, it's pretty obvious that it'd be more complex than "hair bullets", but I felt that was an easy-to-understand way to simplify it. Seems that was in a Japanese-exclusive Joule conversation. But really, who could have guess that those electrically-charged darts were actually strands of HAIR? I certainly wouldn't have. By the way, the conversation in question:
Electromagnetic Accelerator Gun "Dart Leader" -- A gun that QUILL developed specifically for my use. While there are replacement stocks, because it's a specially crafted item, there definitely aren't very many of them. That's why, the gun's maintenance is a special unwritten class for me everyday.
Joule: About that gun, what it fires isn't bullets, but some kind of needle, right?
GV: Yeah... It's called Darts (Main text: Lightning Rod). Darts are made of strands of my hair, coated with a special, highly conductive metal.
Joule: Eh!? Those are strands of hair?
GV: It's because they're a part of my body, that's why I can channel my Flashfield precisely through these darts... or so I heard.
Joule: Hmmm... I see. In other words, they're "Strands of Hair Needles" eh.
GV: That's true but... I wouldn't like for them to be called that... I guess.
[Translator’s Note: How to make me feel guilty spamming them darts during S+ runs]

Protip: Don't listen to anything tumblr has to say about racial history. Blacklists are a great tool.
Yeah, but I’m the type of person who tries to get others to understand WHY what they say is wrong. Maybe I shouldn’t bother, but it’s particularly difficult when I feel it’s targeted at ME. Like, this post, it’s like saying I’m as gross as all those other assholes. And assuming that everyone is accountable for the actions of others of their kind, to me, is even more repulsive than the action itself.
copperhamster replied to your post “I’m still riled up about that “white people” post earlier.”
Here's the thing: Not all white people is no more a defense than not all men. There is so much lopsided history, especially in the US (Europe is... different) and residual effects even today that the only way is 'show don't tell'.
Yeah, I know that, but it’s still disgusting. Besides, it’s not like there’s anyone I can actually “show”.

Do you have a public library or a Starbucks? They usually have free Wi-Fi at both of those places
I was officially banned from the library for six months yesterday. Never seen any Starbucks around, but there is a cafe near the YMCA called New Grounds that I just learned offers free Wi-Fi, but I don’t know about the hours or if there’s a limitation similar to McDonald’s. There’s also an interesting prospect somewhere around here which seems to be open 24/7, but the website doesn’t work so I’m not sure if it’s viable.

Sounds like it =/
The ridiculous thing is that EVERYONE is taught the “No shirt, no shoes, no service” rule when they’re, like, three. And all the doors have a sign with both pictures and text REMINDING YOU about it. But especially, the fact that it’s so damn repulsive. Like, if I were eating here when I saw that, I’d probably have thrown up.

Holy crap that sucks! For only one incident, and across the entire country!?! That's BS >=(
Ah...no, I said county, not country. Although, I was told that that was the second time I’d been caught doing inappropriate things, but I don’t remember it happening before.
