I had an incredibly pointless, tangential and infuriating "debate" with my dad. He responds verbally (in the morning, usually) to things I write and makes dumb excuses for not continuing to respond in writing. I find that infuriating because it means I can't respond thoroughly in my own time, and he gets away with non sequiturs and morphs the argument to something different to shift the goal posts and confuses the hell out of me because I have to try to hold so many things in my short term memory, among other things.
Secondly, the sheer stupidity of his arguments frustrate me. He uses pseudo-science to support something, and when I claim that it's not sufficient evidence, he dismisses the validity of science and logic altogether, and brings up how he doesn't like skeptics or environmentalists or something, and/or bring up the new world order or some shit from a creationist website, or some anecdote to try to prove the validity of anecdotal evidence. I wish he would read Bad Science already. He refuses to because he's "suspicious, because he seems to be promoting scientism".
Apart from that, my day was alright. Just milled about, listened to music, and went online, so it was good, I guess.
Stuff like that makes me angry.

I got the shit kicked out of me by a group of random people who decided they didn't like my slightly eccentric appearance.
Even worse is that a similar event happened not too long ago as well.
So yeah, lovely day on my part.
