   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• If a kid being sent to one of those "kidnap you in the night" bootcamps kills someone during the kidnap, is it self defense?

  Yes. There are a lot of them, and they are popular in Utah, and the Dominican Republic. Its for parents who think their kids is out of control because they take drugs, or hang around the wrong people, or don't want to go to church, or date the wrong person, or aren't getting good enough grades, or are manifesting behaviour because of trauma, or come out as gay (this is a common one, they are usually religious...

  I really had no idea how bad the suicide stat was until cracked.com brought it up years ago (when it was good). It was somethign like nearly half or more gun deaths were straight suicides. Source: 11 months ago

• Does anyone else feel a lot younger than their peers?

  Like why would I want to watch Breaking Bad or any serious drama when I already lived serious drama all through childhood? Jokes and silliness or I turn it off. Firefly or House MD are about my limit for serious entertainment. And my favorite news channel is one of those old cracked.com comedy writers on YouTube. Source: 11 months ago

• Did you think you could have survived if project zomboid was real?

  The rotting thing is a point ignored by almost all zombie medium. Of course, getting around the initial "dead thing can walk" is a pretty big leap in itself. There's a hilarious article (or there used to be at least) on cracked.com named something like "10 Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Would Fail (quickly)" and rotting was reason #1 or 2. Best line from the whole article though was "We (humans) are a zombie's... Source: 11 months ago
