Huh.

Note to self: If assassinating Splinter... poison.

I wonder if Krang knew about that...?

... bring a metronome? Time your words to swings. Then you'll have a steady cadence! And it'll take up more time.

Look a little funny, but hell, what works, right?

Not something I've done m'self (back when I was working out pacing, I just timed it to breathing, and kept breathing slow), but I've seen the suggestion before.

Actually, some of us do (congenital defect, ahoy!), and we all start with one, apparently. It just turns into something else later, so most of us no longer do.

Wherever it hurts the most. I think I like pain at this point.

Very well. I have acquired a quarter. Prepare your cloaca: It is time to experience the most awkwardly excruciating tonsillectomy in the history of existent and non-existent reality.

Definitely says the forum's stats software is off a bit. Dutch comprises 800% of that particular subforum, not 100%.

So yes, the variations all count. Quod Erat Doughnut.

Hear hear!

Blatantly attack person for passive political POV is insanely intolerant. So we kinda fight gays and it's troubling, but when I say it's ok to be unpolitical it's suddenly raises questions. I am not obliged to be active in politics and not going to change my mind because some person says I am naughty and I am doomed.

Well, it's not so much naughty or doomed as it is that (political) apathy is as much an enemy of your state as actively working against it. And... yeah, that's a vice, so long as you live in society. It's a particular sort of not caring that hurts the people around you.

Which is also why other people in society may -- fairly -- attack that behavior and specifically note it as something bad. It is. It hurts others as much as the self, and it does hurt both. Doesn't necessarily mean the person is a bad person on the net, or anything, but it's definitely not a neutral or positive position to hold, and it's a position that anyone that wants society as a whole (either particular national or regional incarnations, or globally) to improve (or, at the very least, maintain the status quo), would reasonably be opposed to.

In other words, it's behavior that people should be intolerant of, just like more active forms of damage. A person is spoke ill of if they, though they could prevent it, just watch as a child runs into traffic. To the extent that person has a responsibility to stop that child, they also have a similar (if somewhat less pressing, of course) responsibility to involve themselves in the political process. Apathy stops being neutral when it starts causing the overall situation to grow worse.
