    My notebook says:
     
    Fuck, don't ever drink alcohol! You lose your control to think clearly and you lose your ability to actually maky anything sensible. You can write a line of code while you're under the influence of alcohol.
     
    I'm drunk now and I'm just wondering - why did I have to drink this morning? Why did I want to make me feel the way I do right now. I can't do anything sensible so this is another saturday wasted.
     
    Fuck I need to stand up and stop drinking alcohol ever again. BSD kernel gugu Jordan Hubbard ditched alcohol over ten years ago and I think I'm going to do the same. I want to be me, that's why it's time to ditch alcohol. No more alcohol for me - ever.

    Not just gays, lazy, dumb gays. All that design shit they fancy can be done with a 45% cheaper computer that doesn't look like a microwave oven. The crassness of this comments is just to bring more flame into the discussion and make my point of how interesting human reason is. We are talking about one of the most intelligent humans in history and we managed to bring the discussion about his work into subway-sewer levels.
