Here are 10 irrational thoughts that rational people often fall victim to at one point or another:
  1. Mistakes are never acceptable.  If I make one, it means that I am incompetent.
  2. When somebody disagrees with me, it is a personal attack against me.
  3. To be content in life, I must be liked by all people.
  4. My true value as an individual depends on what others think of me.
  5. If I am not involved in an intimate relationship, I am completely alone.
  6. There is no grey area.  Success is black and failure is white.
  7. Nothing ever turns out the way you want it to.
  8. If the outcome was not perfect, it was a complete failure.
  9. I am in absolute control of my life.  If something bad happens, it is my fault.
  10. The past always repeats itself.  If it was true then, it must be true now.
I think people are grossly mistaken. The phenomenon of uneven reactions between girls and boys is not really sexual discrimination, but actually the way God has actually made us.Though both are constantly under a rose-painted illusion, they are very different illusions.

Let me demonstrate with the example of three attention freaks (and I mean that in the most unoffensive way) - Guy, Girl 1 and Girl 2. [And if you are expecting me to narrate a love triangle, you are watching way too many Hindi movies.]


Scene 1

Girl 1: Ooh la la...I'm female fatal. I GOTTA upload this photo.
 
*Uploads photo*

Girl 2: OMG! She looks like a whore. What has she added like 200 kilos? But let me ego massage her, I need her to like MY pic later.

*Like*

*Girl 2 comments - Super like darling! Looking gorgeous. Luv you loads...muah muah :* :* *
*Girl 1 comments- Love you too sweet heart. Miss you hun. muah muah :* :* *

Guy (stalking in the sidelines): Huh! Fucking lesbos!!

Horny guy (raps): Oh new picture by my crush #23. If I like her pic, she might totally fall for me.

*like*

*Horny guy comments - Hey, beautiful pic :) ♥  *
*Girl 1: Hey! Thank you sooo much*

Horny guy: Oh I'm good at this. I've got her hook, line and sinker!

Within 10 minutes 14 Girl 2 replicas and 17 Horny guy replicas have liked Girl 1's new pic.

Girl 1: I am THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL EVER!!!!!!!

10 minutes later, Girl 1 likes Girl 2's newly uploaded pic and process starts from the beginning.

 Scene 2

Guy: I look so sexy in this photo. Let me upload it.


*Uploads photo*

Girl 2: Hmmm, that's an okay looking photo. But I don't think I should like it, he will think I am too easy.

Girl 1: Hey that's a nice photo, let me like it.

*like*

Guy: SHE LOVES ME!!!!

Five years later, guy has ruined his life in pursuit of Girl 1 and has now taken up drinking cheap local rum bought from stolen money.

Gyan:

So you see guys, pls start thinking with ur brains not with ur asses. One of the reasons why the ugliest girls in my account gets 20 likes minimum on her profile pic while the most handsome guys get a maximum of 5. Next time you see that happening, don't cry out that it's discrimination. Its all for your own good. Its saving you from turning into a drunk!

That reminds me, I have to change my picture! :P
I wonder if the typical Discussion of the Indian Batting line up goes like this: Opener 1 to Opener 2: Dude which one of us is going to get out in the first over? Opener 2: Lets flip a coin and decide. *Flips the coin*
Opener 1: Damn it man. How come you get to get out every time? There is pressure on me after you leave. After dismissal. Number 3 AKA Rahul Dravid: We need to bat and bat and bat until these guys get bored and slip into a coma. We have to build an innings, do you read me soldier? DO YOU??
Opener 1 (Almost peeing himself): Sir! Yes Sir!
After stabilizing the innings Opener 1 and Rahul Dravid fall in quick succession and walk back to the pavillion to standing ovation. People hurriedly login to Facebook and twitter to show their love for these cricketers. (Others like me stop watching once Dravid gets out)
Batsman 4 to Batsman 5: Dude!
Batsman 5: Dude!
Batsman 4: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Batsman 5: Totally dude! Lets totally screw up what the top order did.
Batsman 4: I was actually thinking of getting high after the match, but that's also an awesome idea.
Approximately 35 seconds later Batsmen numbered 4,5,6,7,8 and 9 have fallen for around 3 runs. A phenomenon known as
The Great Indian Collapse
Number 10 and 11 hang around for around 10-20 deliveries and knock a few around. Make 4-9 look like little kittens, before being dismissed.
Number 11: We totally kicked their ass!

How to apply the Linux Kernel 2.6.38+ power issue workaround: Step 1: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub This command will open GRUB2 config file Step 2: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Locate the line that looks as above. I think that above line is at 11th line in GRUB2 config file. Or look for 13th line. Step 3: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force" Modify the line as shown above. Now double check you've edited the file correctly! Modifying this file incorrectly may cause your computer to stop booting! Step 3: sudo update-grub Update grub by using above command. After finishing update, please restart your computer. WARNING: This is highly risky.... I'm not responsible if anything happens to your system. If something goes wrong, you can revert it back. Open "/etc/default/grub" as root and remove "pcie_aspm=force" from the end of the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" line, then run "sudo update-grub".
