It's a matter of taste, I suppose. Speaking of which, fried banana peppers. :D

Sounds glorious, though my innards are still liquefied from putting too much Sambal on my dinner yesterday. I think it was like 6 tablespoons in one bowl of rice and curry.

Of course, but you aren't doing yourself any favors by shutting people out. Psychology has shown that friendships and romantic partnerships, both failed and successful, are integral in helping build and expand one's self. You're limiting yourself if you're excluding yourself from interaction with others. Even if those others are just the other people on this forum.

People forget what we say within a day. We don't forget what we say.

This is so damn true. I recently got my own office (okay not really, but I work in one by myself. It's a room in an old tobacco mansion. Charming really)  and for the first time in my life I had to work on a mindless activity, alone, in a completely silent room for five hours. You don't know just how much stuff you're running from until you are locked in a room with it. I swear to god during those five hours I remembered and agonized over every stupid thing that I have ever said, even though I'm probably the only one that remembers them.

Except for the time I accidentally said that I'm a one trick pony when it comes to rape. I meant to say wrestling, but someone else was talking about rapists and some wires got crossed. I still get funny looks :(

The number of posts that I have made is about half the number of posts I have typed. It's actually pretty sad when I think about it, since I censor myself and shut myself up all the time in meatspace (as the kids call it nowadays) and I really try to be free with you guys.

Jesus Christ I almost deleted this message for being stupid, but then I didn't because it would have been hilariously, ironically depressing.

Oh, how I know that feel.

Then give me a high five man! It's nice to know you're not insane, or at least slightly less insane than you thought you might be.

In other news we need a lines-to-Tropico scale, in which we rate nutbags by how many lines of text it takes them to devolve a democratic, industrialized country to a totalitarian regime.

I didn't go to jail!

This is great news! I suggest a party be thrown with only substances that have been legal for the past century. We'll have a damn Charmander on the cake and everything. We'll party like we're ten years old. There'll be super-soaker fights, kickball, and a goddamn campfire in the backyard...

Man, I meant to make a joke but that actually sounds really fun.

Hmm, that's a striking comparison. Even if the 99% do accomplish... uh... whatever it is they're trying to accomplish, they'll still be faced with lasting negative policy (higher tax rates) for a century after.

Can be fun for a while, as long as you have a good exit strategy. Had a gf in college who was psycho but also a nympho. Fun while it lasted, if you don't count the incidents of purported demonic possession, channelling dead people or the obsession with sharp, pointy things.

My suggested exit strategy would be a harness and zipline.

"So....I want to cut you and taste your blood...."
"Hold that thought, baby."
*opens window*
"WHEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Yes, And also make sure to age-check any girls she brings home for a threesome.
I see you've met my ex.

Hmmm, I just learned of a thoroughly insane larper girl in the dorm I used to live in. So... it sounds like the general consensus is to NOT gopher it, or to gopher it if and only if I have checked her dwelling and person for sharp objects?

So, is Occupy Wallstreet doing anything yet, or are they on to selling tie-dye shirts for fundraising?

(Obvious re-rail is as obvious as it is ineffective)

WTF?

So basically, minecraft is the PHURRFECT visualiser for future cities...?
No, just no. I'm confused. Minecraft is a fun game, but thats it for me...
dafuq?

To be honest, I think it's just that it's so popular, they decided 'feck it, we aren't gonna use this high quality stuff no-one cares about, just minecraft it.'
Well, it did say it was for children.

And everyone knows children are incapable of using anything that isn't a toy amirite?
Pretty much yes :s It's not easy to envision a building in, say, Sketchup or Blender or 3ds Max. Minecraft is almost plug-and-play.
However, if they use minecraft to design interiors, they should be criticized.
"Why are all the ceilings two meters high?"

"Uh..."

We... we can do 3 meters if you'd like, but then the second floor would all be a crawlspace.

I'm feeling pretty annoyed with my inability to complete any projects at all right now... I need to get over this, but I just don't seem to be able to.

Everyone's also talking about college, it looks like something might finally be happening, but I'm really feeling like I just can't do this right now, that this is all a horrible idea.

I don't know what to do.

I could give ya a push off the edge if you'd like. Life isn't going to stop and you can't do anything but keep going. If you're feeling bad about it you can (in most universities) withdraw with a W up until a month or two into the semester, but you may just be underestimating yourself and freaking out. I have a 3.75 GPA while having been in a large slump for most of my college career because I've learned to adapt to it and make the most out of my bursts of productivity or periods of desperation. Just... watch out for Calculus. I can still hear it's calls at night... the faint scratches at the door... ohgodohgodsaveme

Life Advice / Re: Tired of Soda - Something flavorful yet good to drink?
« on: September 10, 2012, 12:24:02 pm »
If you aren't afraid of sugar you can get one of those massive Arizona ice teas for like a dollar and two cents or something. My friend used to pound those back until he discovered banana milk, another thing you pick up at asian stores apparently. He also swore by... poodycha? That's how he pronounced it at least. Some sort of Korean tea.

I've been drinking water mostly. Crystal light is a decent alternative to sugary drinks if you're looking for something with less calories.

I think that we are still growing taller on average as a species, aren't we?
Also growing shorter. The demographics and such are very confusing. I guess we can mostly attribute it to environment and better diets.

This. From what I recall we have better nutrition than our ancestors, and as such are able to grow to our full heights. Epigenetic effects are hard to separate from the effects of actual genes, so calling things evolution is a little tricky without an actual observation of a change in the genetic code.
