This is the place where you get things of a somewhat regrettable nature off your chest, those that are too pressing to ignore but petty enough that they don't warrant a whole thread or a police investigation.
For example, I think one of the reasons I'm physically attracted to a girl at school is because she looks kind of like Rinoa.

Shouldn't this be in Not at the Dinner Table?

Confess my deepest feelings to a bunch of nerds on a forum? I don't think so.

I'll probably never play SSBB again, because personally, I think it stinks compared to both of its predecessors. *banned*
-
Have you tried Brawl+? You might like the modified physics.
-
If it involves homebrew, I probably won't try it; plus, I'm away from my Wii about 85% of the time due to being at college and having younger siblings at home.

I considered it, but... what Turtlekid said (well, quoted).
-

Who?

Rinoa Heartilly from FFVIII...

From FFVIII:

I regretted peeing off my back porch after a fresh snow a few days ago when the next morning I saw footprints going by and inspecting it.
-
Good thinking, though. If I had comitted to consume my own urine, I'd also probably make sno-cones out of it rather than just slug it down.
-
I destroyed a SNES controller after a particularly frustrating death near the end of Earthbound. I also got so ****ed off at one of my copies of SMB3 not working that I smashed it.
-
Sounds to me like you need to quit getting mad at video games.
Speaking of that, I found this blog (http://thebadloserswallofshame.blogspot.com/) today and realized why exactly I prefer offline play over online, and yes, I do recall playing some of these spoilsports before. Never got any hatemail though aside from one short "No" message and another one that said "butthurt".
-
[A quick foreword: ****. My dad closed this tab during his turn on the computer, so the following is merely a shoddy reproduction of what I had before.]
Trainman, I can relate to much of that situation. Do you also feel, upon considering trying to rectify things, that pang of inexperience which convinces you that setting the Ball of Life into motion will pull you in over your head? Are you also confounded at how everyone else is able to dive head-first into life's deep end, perform some perfect-score-from-all-three-judges move on the way down, plunge effortlessly into their ambitions while dealing with inhibitions both expected and unforseen, and yet gracefully emerge on the opposite bank? Is the water meanwhile so intemperate for you as well that merely dipping a toe in it induces scalding or hypothermic shock? Are you also unable to swim in life's pool, knowing that doing so would be suicide unless you were pulled out and recusitated by someone more capable? Are you equally certain that this, in its inevitable occurence, would scare you yet further from pursuing what you've been told lies before you?
tl;dr: I, much as you, get so overanxious about things that I avoid them for fear of having everything screw up and haunt me afterwards. I've been on chronic anxiety medication for about two years, and those feelings of dread have reasonably subsided since.
-
Anxiety is a terrible inhibition isn't it?
Thankfully, mines went away once I finished High School. I guess attending a campus full of strangers is much more comforting than attending classes filled with the same people day in and day out for 12 years.
-
I also avoid things because I get over anxious. I don't know why I do it, but I always have, unless I'm in a group of people who are also there, doing it with me (like the first time I played laser tag. I thought I was going to suck, but I ended up getting MVP on my team).
What does tl;dr mean? I'm kinda behind on my internet lingo.
I have a huge fear of making phone calls. I don't know why, I just can't bring myself to make phone calls, even if they are important. I much prefer text messages and emails to phone calls.
-
Too long; didn't read. It's the rudest possible way of brushing aside someone's thoughtfully-composed work.
I can be similar with phone calls, especially people I'm not entirely familiar with... Like most old people.
-
Phone calls are bad compared to real life speaking, and text is even worse for getting the intended message across. It lets you avoid actual contact and that is dangerous.
I have a tendency to become concerned about making sure I'm choosing the correct course of action for fear of messing things up as well. I don't take medication for it because what needs to happen is an actual understanding of why you feel this way and take action to make sure things are going the way you envision for the best possible future. Don't be wimpy, people!
-
Do you also feel, upon considering trying to rectify things, that pang of inexperience which convinces you that setting the Ball of Life into motion will pull you in over your head?
This goes for myself, increasingly so these days, as the prospects of going to college, getting a job, and driving solo all loom larger.
-
I appreciate all your thoughts.
I'm extremely fearful of screwing things up because I'm trying to pull myself out of my not-very-sociable life into a more sociable life. Not to say I was nerdy or anything, but it's the people who over-excel at literally everything that kinda drove me into the "hey... just... a normal, quiet kid. pretty cool" category. I'm a funny guy, but I'm guess I'm not "jocky" enough to really act immature, but have people react to it in a positive, humorous way.
There could be friends of mine acting like friggin' idiots, and guys and girls alike just eat it all up, but if I were to try the same [darn] thing, I'd be met with "lol what in the hell (http://www.deeplake.com/content/sounds/koth/hank/whatin~1.wav) is this kid's problem?" As a result, I tend to be a lot quieter because a lot of people don't want to just talk and BS about stuff; they want laughs only, and I have no material for those peoples' types of humor (and don't want any because it's childish, retarded humor). Also, since I was never the "act like a moron" guy growing up, I can't suddenly just start doing it one day because everyone I know doesn't know me as that kind of person.
Let me make an analogy: I'm like a King of the Hill kind of person. I like small-group based things. I'm the kid who'd grab a beer saying "yeeeep" and talk about things (http://www.entertonement.com/clips/mfyrczttmy--Pass-the-chipsHank-Hill-King-of-the-Hill-Mike-Judge-King-of-the-Hill-Season-12-) ... you know, have a good time BSin' with people. The other people, the "laughs only" kind of people (that being the only kind of people I know), are the type that want to party with hundreds of people and see who can have sex/pass out from being drunk the fastest, and I'm not that type of kid at all.
Every time I talk about this I think of it as a whole and I'm just kinda like.... "ughh... you know what? forget it, i just dont even wanna get into it at all."
-
There could be friends of mine acting like friggin' idiots, and guys and girls alike just eat it all up, but if I were to try the same [darn] thing, I'd be met with "lol what in the hell is this kid's problem?"
Same applies to me, but minus the "lol" part. The truth is, who's saying something matters more than what's being said. It's socially unacceptable to accept worthwhile social contributions from one who isn't socially accepted.
-
The "lol" part was added to refer to people giggling at how much of an idiot they would think the person is for doing that.
-
Given the trend of post subjects, I feel kind of awkward confessing trivialities, but... I often find myself compulsivley whistling/humming/singing the titular line of "You Belong with Me".
-
That song is very catchy. Don't be ashamed because you like a song.
-
Well, I suppose it's sort of preliminary embarassment over when people catch me with it on my iPod, assuming the urge to obtain a copy of it someday becomes irresistable--ditto for "Girlfriend" and "So What".
-
At some point I stopped enjoying Tokio Hotel ironically and just started actually enjoying them.
-
I admire their cunning use of stolen motifs.

Well, all I've cognizently heard from them is Monsoon, which was pretty good. As for Bill... well, I can't stay mad at him--he was indirectly responsible for my Harem, after all.
-
1000 Oceans, Sacred, World Behind My Wall, Darkside of the Sun, Dogs Unleashed, Ready Set Go, and Zoom Into Me are also quite good, plagiarized or not.
-
Plagiarized, eh? As in Dogs Unleashed = Who Let the Dogs Out? Well, in their defense, they are technically a foreign band.
-
No, like the riffs and whatnot are often remarkably close copies of other songs or (this isn't bad) just sound really familiar but you can't quite figure out what it sounds exactly like.
-
I'm often of the paranoid/pessimistic mindset that, at some point in history, every possible appealing combination of notes was exhausted, and now we're all just running on subtle variations of the same catchy themes (but hey, given the way the rap/radio/recording industry works, can you really blame me?). I mean, if it hasn't happened yet, though, it has to happen eventually. Heck, I've tried writing a few songs myself--the lyrics are certainly unique, but too often a tune I think I've come up with is really just based on some riff or chorus from a ditty in the recesses of my memory.
-
The musical foundations of humanity go so far back that it's positively inevitable to come up with music that's similar to something else whether you've heard it or not.
People like Schoenberg and the later serialists were pretty convinced that everything tonal had been done, and that's where atonal music comes from (and generally doesn't contain many "appealing combinations" of notes). So in essence, you're correct.
-
Conversely, some artists have simply never left thier house and thus have never experienced actual music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjM20LppdsY&feature=related).
-
Well, it I guess it'll always come down to the same thing: If I like a song, I'll listen to it.
In other news: This should come as a surprise to absolutely no-one, but I think I have a possibly unhealthy obsession with Ivy.

I have a ton of scholarships I should probably be applying for right now. I've got all the necessary stuff in some cases, info to get it in others, and the only reason I'm not doing it is procrastination.
Also, this (http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/tumblr_ktu8jkF2q81qzp9we.jpg) used to be my (centered) wallpaper, but I had to change it because every timed I looked at it, all I could think was "man, Saria's got back..."
-

Even thought that's undoubtedly the reason why you changed it, I still couldn't help but comment and laugh.

-
Regarding Saria, on one hand she could technically be very old, and on the other, it is said that the Kokri always "stay children". It depends on how you look at it.
-
I thought her body didn't age or some crazy dukar like that.
Likewise--and I think you're right.
Indeed, this technically wasn't the direction this thread was supposed to go, but I suppose I made it inevitable. I could stop it, but my efforts would probably be on par with Willy Wonka trying to save all the Golden Ticket kids. Tell you what--I'll just be here, confessing stuff, and if those confessions--as is the trend--seem to mostly concern videogame-related sexual frustration, so be it.

There's a Markio thread from a few years ago that you would benefit from reading.

Your signature has just gained a new dimension of truth, Brian.
Anyways, I can't ride a bike, tie my own shoelaces, swim, whistle, snap my fingers, or play a single musical instrument. I've never had a job, considered getting a driver's license, been kissed by a girl, or been invited to an actual party. Top that.
-
I never learned to ride a bike. It's not that I didn't try, but I was afraid of falling down.
-
Ah, no, wait...
I HAVE kissed a girl before, but it was soooooooooooo long ago. Like 2nd grade.
On the cheek in line for the drinking fountain. Totally unreciprocated, got in some trouble.
-
Can't ride a bike or swim, am 20 and still only have a permit instead of a license, have gone through 3 1/2 years of college and never even gone near alcohol (unless that one time I took the recommended dose of NyQuil when I had a cold and was tired counts), never had a paid job, and never been on a date or had any romantic-type experience with anyone (of either gender).
-
I didn't get my driver's license until I was 22. Otherwise I'm way ahead of you pansies.

Now I don't feel so bad about still only having a permit.
-
I don't think I've ever necessarily needed to shave. I mean, I've shaved, but it wasn't like I had a noticeable beard. I'm fairly cool with that, though, because I've heard that hair 'n such is a sign of the end of physical maturation.

I just learned how to ride a bike and tie my shoes, but the rest apply to me. 'Cept the instrument thing. I used to be a fluent drummer and I'm slowly learning how to play the piano,

I've ingested alcohol four times in my life, two of which were accidental. A note for future parents: Don't pour your wine into a plastic cup if all the glasses are in the washer and not expect your kid to mistake it for grape juice.

Also regarding instruments, I sort of hate that my learning the piano seems to have come to a standstill recently. I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with it; if anything, I was a little bit better at it a few months ago than I am now.

Also, on a semi-topical note, I had to drudge through lots of archived threads to find it, and I must confess that... this forum actually seems more "intelligent" than it used to be. Quality over quantity?

I once flushed my cousin's goldfish down the toilet in revenge for something he did when we were both little and still haven't told him. I also forget what he did to deserve it.
I can't really have a girlfriend for any decent amount of time before the relationship goes sour. Right around the time when the novelty of oh-my-gawd-i-love-this-person turns into a genuine relationship for everyone else, is when I end up breaking up with the girl or vice-versa.
I read video game news religiously even though I currently own no current-gen consoles and won't end up playing 98% of the games I read about.
I can barely fight. I mean, I'm not weak, but I lose most physical confrontations since I just sort of go in wildly swinging and then yeah.
I have a permit but no license. I'm also too scared to actually drive outside of any instructional situation.
I almost never text people back or return emails, and don't like talking over the phone very much. The only time I'm ever comfortable to talking to someone is face-to-face.
I'm starting to like Lil Wayne.

- I've briefly considered failing out of my classes next semester and staying another year (and taking on another $20,000 of debt) so I could go to the Class of 2011 reunions in the future instead of the 2010 ones, since 2011's where pretty much all the people I'd actually want to see at a reunion are. I wonder if I'll be able to sneak in. It's kind of a small school, they might not mind.
-
Marry someone from the Class of 2011. If every prospective partner is too disgusted by your fat neck to wed, just stalk some random 2011 graduate until you know every intimate aspect of his (or her) life, then kidnap and masquerade as that person on the night of the reunion. Problem solved.

I agree with TEM.
Confess my deepest feelings to a bunch of nerds on a forum? I don't think so.

Hey, in my opinion, that's one of the best posts so far (in terms of fittingness to the topic, not subject matter). Granted, if confessions of that nature were all we ever talked about here, this would probably find its way to NatDT...but still.
-
No offense, but I had a feeling this thread would take a bad turn. This is really only a sub division of The ANGST Thread.
Confess my deepest feelings to a bunch of nerds on a forum? I don't think so.
I agree to a certain extent. Mainly because there are some people on the Internet don't really take every word you say seriously enough to produce a sincere reply (e.g. TEM's reply to nenson's post).
nensondubois, I know that you have to get this off your chest somehow, but I do not think it's a good idea to talk about a loved one's death online to people you don't really know. I lost someone that was also close to me, and it's hard to realize that person is no longer here to talk to. You'll pull through. Be strong, nenson, and know that your mom would want you to be as well.
In retrospect to TEM's post, yes, this is a Mario fan site. Although, we have discussed many personal things that didn't relate to Mario whatsoever. But since death is such a personal matter, it's best not to talk about it online with strangers. because that person is grieving the loss of a loved one, therefore making their feelings more vulnerable of being hurt. Talk about this among people that are close to you in real life, not on the Internet. To put it mildly, there are a lot of rude people out there, and you have to make yourself aware of that.

im scared to death of dogs and im not entirely sure what it means to be "furry" for something.
-
im not entirely sure what it means to be "furry" for something.
I used to think it meant having a degree of sexual attraction towards anthropomorphic characters. But supposedly it refers to a person who particularly enjoys stories, pictures, dolls, or video games containing "furry" creatures.
-
In its most general and widespread sense, a furry is someone who actively enjoys works of fiction centered around animals, usually with varying degrees of anthropomorphism, like Watership Down, Secret of NIMH, Disney's Robin Hood, Great Mouse Detective, Star Fox, etc., particularly if the presence of anthropomorphic animals itself is part of the reason they like it. The largest subgroup within there that starts going beyond the average is people who also draw their own pictures or write their own stories with similar styles. The two most common stereotypes on the internet, often conflated with each other, and what most people are referring to when they say it, are people who dress up in fursuits and people who have sexual attractions to anthropomorphic animals. Arguably the latter should only really count if you're attracted especially or exclusively to them, or if that's the number one reason you're attracted to them, but people who are just attracted to characters that are attractive anyway that happen to be anthropomorphic animals (e.g., Krystal and Gadget for most people) tend to get grouped in there too. A very small but very vocal subgroup are the "otherkin" -- people who actually believe that they are animal spirits within human bodies, that they were born as the wrong species, that humans are evil and only animals are good and pure and stuff.
Technically, the term "furry" only applies to anthropomorphic cats, dogs, foxes, wolves, etc.; the lizards and dragons are scalies, the birds are avians, and so on, but furry is usually used as a catch-all term for all of them.
TVTropes actually has a pretty thorough and fair overview over here (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FurryFandom).

Might want to rephrase that. Calling yourself furry "for" something implies sexual attraction. On that note,

that was, quite possibly, the most disturbing image of kystal i may live to see.
Conversely, I think there are some pictures of Krystal that I'd die to see.

Go post that on You Laugh You Lose, fox. A good Mr. Bean pic never gets old.
I can't remember, but I might have seen worse Krystal outfits. But I'm pretty sure even the worst furry costume can't compare to the horror of Man-Faye (it's probably NSFW to look him up. The pictures are truly horrifying).

One time was in a really bad car accident when my friend was driving drunk, we flipped the car 6 times. We got out unscathed, didn't call the police, pushed the car to the side of the road and left the scene of the accident. The cops eventually found out but couldn't charge him with DD because it was the day after.

I'm still scared of dogs.
I also bite my nails. Tons.

I'm sure I've mentioned at least some of these before, but I can't swim, I can't ride a bike without training wheels, I've never ridden a roller coaster, and I didn't get my driver's permit until the age of 19 and have little to no motivation to get the full license or really drive much at all. Also, I had the mailbag topic open in a tab the whole time I was home this weekend because I was planning on playing TTYD to see if there was a chalk outline somewhere like I thought I remembered, and I never got around to it, so I'm gonna go close that tab now.
I never shorten my nails any way other than biting them. Also, I often leave one thumbnail rather long for a while in case I need to cut some tape or hurt someone or something.

I said that hoping for advice. if there is any.

The dog thing... well, I'm just gonna go Freud and say it's got something to do with your furry side. As for the nails, I personally don't think that's an issue so long as you wash your hands plenty. If it's really bugging you, though... I don't know, put hot sauce on your hands, or something. Just keep your hands away from dogs afterwards.
A few things:
--I liked the script for Braid so much that I printed out the whole thing and now carry it around in my school binder.
--I was playing Half-Life 2 this weekend during times I probably should've been doing homework.
--I was researching Alan Moore earlier this evening, and now I'm worried because I think the tiny Trevfur in my mind wants to read some of Omaha the Cat Dancer.

Well, the game's set up so that you can't even get to the final world without getting every puzzle piece. Clearly, though, it's not like it at all tarnished my experience.

It may not have tarnished your experience, but it lessened it. There are six or so moments of realization, joy, and pride that you will never experience, ever. You had one chance and you circumvented the experience. Now you will die, without those moments. You missed them.
You missed out.

Alright, just call me Usher, because I've got a whole load of musical confessions:
--I harbor a subdued ambition to sing in/start/manage a band--or at least make my own songs on some sort of quality synthesizing software. I presume this is a pretty universal feeling, though.
--Following up on that, if given the chance, one of the covers I would do (covers, of course, would pretty much require me to have a real band) would be an electropop-ish version of "Little Guitars", replacing "senorita" with "lolita".
--In fact, many songs I would write on my own (and, as I've mentioned, I have written songs--mostly as some sort of catharsis) would be veiled references to internet/videogame pop culture. Obviously, though, I still have the requisite antiestablishment/philosophical and love-related tunes, but the
--I had a weird psychological breakdown a few days ago of a very tl;dr nature in description.

Before you read this: Please don't judge me... I'm just sharing my story because people asked...
Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it later :/
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's ****ed up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so ****ing beautiful that I watched it twice. (probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy [dukar] went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to **** her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was ****ed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever ****ing seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

The building I live in is a sort of triplex, with one apartment at ground level and two above it. I'm in one of the top ones, so the door to my house is on an elevated porch with one other door. Due to the slight overhang of the roof, whenever a fresh snow falls, there's still a six inch zone of clear ground up against the edge of the house. When this happens, I always carefully squeeze out of my door and creep along the wall to my neighbor's door, staying in the snowless zone. Once I'm in front of their door, I then proceed on my normal way. So there are never footprints leaving my door, and my neighbor sees footprints leaving their house even though they're going out for the first time.

The other weekend I was at a party at this kids house. His parents know my parents from their wednesday and friday night golf league. He was maybe a year ahead of me in highschool, and we went to the same school. Coincidentally, his name is Kyle also.
We got there (umm, this wasn't an adult party his parents were throwing or anything, people my age got together and got drunk). The party was in his garage, and by the time we got there he wasn't even at his own party, he was up in his house. So I proceeded to hang out with everyone there, drink beer, and get drunk. There were about 13 poeple there.
After a while, out of the corner of my eye I see maybe like 3 skateboards sitting together. Being drunk I proceeded to grab the best one out of the 3 and ride it around the garage in front of people testing it out and doing some stuff on it. I never considered myself a clepto, but I've stolen some stuff in my day and was pretty good at it. Being a skateboarder with no skateboard, having mine stolen about a year ago, I guess you could say my clepto instincts got the best of me. (Not to mention. Even though I haven't hung out with this kid a lot, the times I have he kind of acted like a rich stuck-up snob.)
I then mumbled to myself and probably within earshot of a few people, that "There isn't enough room in here, that driveway is nice." Indeed it was, he had a very nice black-top driveway, spacious too. But that wasn't what I went out there to do. I hung outside for a while, made sure no drunken idiot was coming outside to take a leak. Then I ran over to my car, opened the door as fast as I could, popped the trunk and stuffed it in there. I waited outside a couple more minutes then went back inside and nobody even remembered that I brought it out there because they were so drunk.
After we left I had a change of heart, and after I told my friends what I did. So I turned back and returned it. Saying that I left it in the driveway and forgot out it. Even though I did the right thing returning it. It doesn't make me feel better about it. Because I know if I had the chance, I would've stolen his Marshall half-stack that was out there too.

-
Well, more a combination of the two. Darwin even referenced the phrase "survival of the fittest" on a few occasions. Also,
or most able minded
has more biological connotations than socio-economic ones.
-
We get our morals and ethics from evolution. What's this about it promoting stealing?
-
MASIAH claims that taking what one can't otherwise have, AKA greedily acting on one's covetous nature, is an advisable course of action, which he compared to evolutionism. That is all.
We get our morals and ethics from evolution.
Well there's a novel outlook. Aren't those normally attributed to society?
-
EVOLUTION IS A PROCESS, NOT A PHILOSOPHY OR MINDSET
Yes, MASIAH (an idiot), used the phrase "survival of the fittest" which is commonly used to describe what evolution is. But his story, situation, and argument have NOTHING TO DO WITH EVOLUTION. Nor did he say it did. He was just espousing his Objectivist thoughts on the matter. Turtlekid1 and WeeGee (idiots) then pounced on that phrase in hopes of making a philosophically-neutral scientific theory look bad because it disagrees with a book some dudes wrote two thousand years ago. Then I (an idiot) saw it and wasted time and energy competing in the Special Olympics with them.
-
...Because we used the name our your Lord and Saviour, Darwin, in vain.
-
Weegee, my stance on the origin of morals can be explained by this video by Thunderf00t:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyd6om8IC4M
Evolution is not a philosophy or mindset. It is, however, a scientific process that explains why we (and other animals) act moral towards each other.

-
I kind of do that, too, and vehemently under the same circumstances (though primarily through biting).
I wish I looked more vampiric.
-
As for the statement I made.... Poor choice of words? Yes. Socially degenerative? More like it. I just said it out of a whirlwind of emotions that I've been feeling lately. Maybe thats why I thought about it and took the skateboard back, because deep down I knew. It's all a result of a constant frustration I've been facing lately that partly due to not living the lifestyle I want. The funny thing is when I said I was good at stealing, I've never stole from an individual before (like Kyle). Not that its any better but its always been from large department stores.
There is some truth to this struggle I've recently been going through though. And I'm sure I'm not the only one thats been going through it. Coming from a person who has given away more than he is ever going to get back, you can see why one would just say "Screw It." and just start to take. I've only recently come under the impression that nobody cares about what is going to happen to me and that everyone is out for themselves. Of coarse, the is not true, not "Everyone" is out for themselves, but it sure as heck seems like it. If you think there is no class struggle in this day in age, you are sadly mistaken. People like you and me consider themselves middle-class (beleive me, I used to think this too). But they're not, there is no middle class, just two extremes. Lower class, and upper class. The middle class has been erased. I'm not making this up, I used to talk about this with my economics professor in college (when I was going). And he said more than likely, pretty soon we're going to see a massive power struggle between two classes much like in the French Revolution. I'm just tired of being [dukared] on.

Ayn Rand is super anti-looting/thievery so I can only assume you have no clue what you're talking about or I'm misunderstanding you hard. Rand's morality defines people who leech off of others' achievements as extremely immoral (such as a person stealing something someone else purchased with money they earned). I'd also like to declare that anyone that draws any kind of meaningful parallels between her literary works and BioShock is talking out of their butts.

There's only a vague similarity between the stuff Andrew Ryan says and the things championed by the heroes of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

Rapture was more like an attempt at Anarchy that went super wrong and made Ryan turn into a tyrant near the end instead of the hyper-capitalism espoused by Rand. The only thing that seemed some what legit was Ryan's final words; but that doesn't make up for the amoral insanity that can't even be said to be a perversion of Rand's ideas.

I killed an ant today.
I'll sick the hounds on you if you dare show your face outside again.
-
I killed thousands of germs yesterday.
-
I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
-
I used to have a sexual attraction to Jessica Rabbit, but then again, what 8 year old boy hasn't?
-
I didn't.
-
Well I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I have another confession. It embarass's me to read the first thread I ever made here, I had no clue what I was thinking when I was introducing myself here. So much for first impressions...
-
*Looks for things worthy of confession*... I suppose I could confess that but I'm sure some already do in fact know that, or at least had the minute suspicion of that.
I'm politically a Tea Party activist.
-
My respect for the Tea Party is currently in the gutter, seeing as how one of them flew his airplane into an IRS building in my home state a few weeks ago.
Wow, my first real confession in this topic.
-
You can forget that crazy extremist which was an isolated incident. We respect the constitution; in other words: We are the real conservatives since the republicans have basically joined the liberal bag.
Rush Limbaugh is a joke but he has made a few good points, Mark Levin is forceful and a plain [moronic jerk] and Glen Beck is basically America's only stand up for us teacher and bite the Bullet Bill for the rest of us kind of guy. Bill O'Rielly has good intentions but he can be just as overbearing as Rush. None of them see the real truth.
I'm no political bookworm, but I do however pay just enough attention to politics as every citizen should to protect his/her country.
-
Don't even get me started on Glen Beck....
-
same here.....
-
While I don't think you should judge a group based on the actions of an individual; it's confession time: I used to be a big fan of Glen Beck. I even went as far as to suggest him to my ultraconservative in-laws. We then watched him discuss talking to dead people and agreed he wasn't someone we could believe in.
Further, Glen Beck may use a chalk board, but he isn't a very good teacher in my book because he repeatedly contradicts himself and fails to see the big picture. Case in point, his recent talk against socialism/communism while promoting the use of libraries because they are free.
Also, I guess it's about time I confessed to taking a pen from Wal*Mart when I was a teenager.
Why won't Beck confess to the rape a woman in 1990?
Okay, that was probably taking it to far so I'll make another confession: I'm not sure I killed that ant. Maybe I just flicked him off to some other location.
-
I stole an employee from GameStop and sold him back to them.

I often think of comebacks or other things to say to people long after an incident has occured. I replay what happened in my head and stop it where I jumped in, and say to myself "I should have said this". It often bothers me if it's something that would have made the incident better for all involved (usually, when I think of these things, it's been rude customers and things that I should have said to them..)

I want a female version of the Van Halen cover of "Ice Cream Man".

Thats funny, I used to be the same way when I was in highschool. And now that I'm out of highschool it is the exact opposite, sometimes I feel like my comebacks have been said before they even leave my lips. And they almost always offend the person right away. It's gotten me in trouble a few times.
-
I'm still too young to be here, and I had no permission thingymabloodle. And yet, the mods are still letting me stay here after those craploads of epic fail moments from when I was only 8 back in '06. Wait, should I have mentioned tha

There's really no way for the mods to know if you're thirteen plus, or if you have permission. [F]or all you know I could be five and could have killed my parents years ago.

I knew it!

Hilariously enough, that's how the premise of my online buddy's cartoon starts.

Back to the topic of revelling in the half-decency of our older posts, this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=12345.msg535938#msg535938) was probably my first good comment.
EDIT: The video was removed, so I just replaced it, in case you were wondering about the post's recent edit.

The very first thing I did here was make a retro bump.

And that's probably the least embarrassing thing you've done here.
-
My Wii hasn't been working for over a week, and I've had ample time to call Nintendo and ask them what could be done.
Yet, for some mysterious reason, I haven't. I miss playing the Wii, but I just haven't been super motivated to call them. Hopefully I'll get another chance to do so tomorrow.
-
Once I had a dream where I was Christopher Walken.
-
Wouldn't that be better to air over at Wacko Dreams?
-
I already did. Another confession that I have to make is a tough one.
A big thing that motivates me to draw or do art work (what I love to do and will probably make a career out of it) is jealousy. If I see someone getting noticed for work that they did, I almost automatically think (most of the time its know) I could do better, and when I get home I work furiously and endlessly on some idea I've had in my head for awhile but was too lazy to do it.
I don't enjoy thinking this way, its just how I'm programed. I think it probably has to do with the attention I see other people getting when this happens. Attention like that for me is a different kind of high and I only feel like I have to seek it out when its about art or anything I'm good at.
All egotism aside though, I often am better. I just wish I didn't need that to motivate me.
-
After talkin' it up like that, I went to try and find some of your art but was unable to.
All I was able to find was a poem and a thread where you emailed all of the girls on the forum. Though, I will admit that I didn't look that hard.
Do you have a link?
-
I did what? Your not going to find any of my artwork on here because I never put any on here, I'm talking about outside TMK. I don't think I've ever done any fancreations in here. I work strictly with fine art mediums, and mix them a lot.
-
"media"
-
I bet that made you feel special.
-
/me just spreading knowledge
-
I did what?
Yeah, I know. I couldn't believe it either. You can read it here (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=6955.0).
Unless you meant this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=7047.msg77342#msg77342), but there's nothing weird about that.
-
I just read the blog from an old Mr. Wiggles post in this thread. If the old Clayfighter 2 game ever went online, people would spam me to death. I usually use Blob and just do the jumping mallet move (those who have played it know what I'm talking about).
Oh, and my confession is that my very first signature here was an attack against Pokemon. Geez, I would be so good at competitive battling if I hadn't taken those five years off Pokemon to be "cool."
-
I meant the later. I couldn't help but laugh histarically. I couldn't even believe I did that. I can't remember doing that. I remember the poem though, whats so hard to believe about that?
-
I am addicted to cheese. I also have another confession I will never speak of. E-V-E-R.
-
Cheese addition is very common because a protein in cheese activates the same part of the brain that cocaine does. Also, it's not a confession if you don't speak of it. Maybe you meant that you have another addition that you won't confess.
-
Is the second, unspoken confession somehow related to the first? Please spill before my mind wanders any further down the gutter.
-

If so, maybe he's having trouble passing (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006040420121) it along.

He misspelled it twice, so I thought at first he was referring to some sort of conspiracy where trace amounts of cheese are mixed into random foods to make them addictive.

I'm a sucker for the whole "girl with her hair over one eye" look. It is, in fact, one of the reasons why I know I'm straight and not asexual.
And it totally has nothing to do with why I think Rosalina is awesome. Yeah.

I'm a sucker for chicks with the snake-bite piercings on their lower lip. Some girls make it look so good.

I'm a sucker for glasses, and big 'ol bony hands. And sideburns, can't forget that. Facial hair in general, but only on some people, and it's got to be full-fledged, too. Bushy moustaches, man. BEARDS. If I could, I would certainly grow a beard, and put little colorful bows in it.
Also, big noses > small noses.

Something tells me that facial hair is a popular thing here among TMK males, for I have one, and have seen multiple other members with beards.

I've had my goatee long enough to have named it. And I have, too.

Yeah, but I can't see his hands very well. Which is a shame.

Just give me a goth girl with glasses, weird hair, and epic boobs, and I think I'm set.

I'm a sucker for pale-skinned brunettes (not necessarily goth, but it's a plus) with lovely legs. Glasses are also nice. Boobs are nice, but flat-chests work just as well.

I feel like you just described how I look, minus the glasses part. It should be noted that I currently lack sideburns and a beard, but am highly capable of growing copious amounts of facial hair in short amounts of time.

I wear two pairs of glasses at once, have unnaturally large hands with no skin or muscle on them at all, mutton chops, a handlebar moustache, and a massive beard adorned with colorful bows.

Glasses
Big Boney Hands
Sideburns
Facial Hair
Bushy Moustache
Beard
Sounds about right.

Did I fail to mention that the Sideburns, Beard and Bushy Mustache are all relatively easy for me to acquire?
-
I was considering a "what do you look for in the opposite sex?" sort of thread, but this is rapidly rendering it unnecessary.

You wanted some attention for posting that, so I'm giving it to you. That's all.

Don't draw any more attention to The Chef's terrible flirting skills, BM. We all know he's only a couple steps above pun pickup lines, no need to rub salt in the wound.

Well at least somebody made the inevitable.

Eh, being flirtatious is nothing terrible. Then again, I'm going through a flirtatious phase, myself.
I feel like you just described how I look, minus the glasses part. It should be noted that I currently lack boobs, but am highly capable of growing copious amounts of breast tissue in short amounts of time, but at least flat-chests work just as well.
Also the fact that I'm sunburned to the point where I look like a tomato, but that's partly due to being pale in the first place. So your it's call.
*waits for I'm not even sure what*

Alright now I'm convinced you're just my female counterpart from an alternate universe.
Is it wrong to flirt with your opposite gender counterpart? :P
-
No, but it's weird to flirt over the internet so it balances out.
-

Uhhh, hrm. Wha?
-
If you're lucky enough to even find your opposite gender counterpart, of course it's acceptable to flirt.
Uhhh, hrm. Wha?
Don't question it. It's an interesting thought, and that's all that really matters at the end of the day. Either way, it was only meant to parody The Chef's post.
-
Trust me, The Chef is not your "opposite gender counterpart." He pretty much flirts with every female member here.
-
You say that as if there a lot of female members here to flirt with.

Either way, it was only meant to parody The Chef's post.
Ah, right right. I see it now.

I miss playing games all night long. In my sixth grade year (around the time Yoshi's Island was released) I discovered that staying up all night gave me a serious migraine the next two days. A migraine that no amount of medicine would help cure. I just had to sleep it off.

I'm happy that I'm physically incapable of playing games all night long.

I once played Halo on the old Xbox with three of my best buds from nine-something at night to midnight before going to one of the other dudes' house and playing Halo until eight in the morning. We played through, and I swear:
My friend's parents having secks
A storm
My friend's brother's party
Some dude bragging he had just lost his virginity (I think he died a year ago, I'm not sure)

[Edited because Everything Went Better Than Expected]
Just a thought: Regardless of what happened, is it really appropriate to edit a post this late after its original publication?
-
Is it inappropriate? What does it matter?
-
I don't know, I just figure that, after a couple months, you might as well leave the old post be and clarify whatever it is that needs clarifying in a new post.
-
I don't disagree with you, but I don't see the point of calling someone else out on it when it doesn't affect anything.
-
I suppose so. I just don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.

I somehow managed to think The Killers was a band that started in the 70s.
-
Just a thought: Regardless of what happened, is it really appropriate to edit a post this late after its original publication?
I didn't imagine anyone would really say anything about me editing it, man. It was some pretty depressing stuff. I was feeling pretty crappy and that post doesn't reflect how I am and have been for the past several months now, so, no need to have people reading super old news about myself and getting the wrong idea about me, I figured.
EDIT: what I mean by that is I didn't want anyone to think I was some crazily depressed dude or something. Half the stuff I probably didn't mean and it was just angry BS, really. So, yeah. Since I remembered the post, I figured I'd nix it. That's the first time I've ever edited a post way after the fact like that.
I love it when brand new members come into existing discussions and say stuff like that, it's cute.

Spoiler alert: Every single thread is pointless arguing.

Last night I got drunk and (barely) high for the first time. To be specific, I had seven or eight beers, three shots of Captain Morgan, a swig of Jack Daniels, and a couple drags of pot.
Being intoxicated is overrated. Alcohol of any sort tastes terrible, with special mention going out to whiskey, whose taste is reminiscent of raw medicine. I managed not to throw up, but having several litres of fluid sloshing around in my stomach alongside three half-digested pizza slices was no less uncomfortable. Three of the six guys there puked; one did so in his sleep. All I managed to accomplish while drunk was stumble about, exclaim profanities, giggle hysterically at things which weren't actually funny, and have difficulty focusing long enough to mentally process anything. As a momento of the experience, I wrote down a nonsensical phrase which one guy had been yelling repeatedly: "Did you know that Sinbad from Disney is trying to lock us?" Since even my writing was slurred by that point, the sentence was recorded as, "Did you know that Disbad from Sidney is trying to lock us?" 'Twas not my finest hour.
Apparently, I didn't inhale enough dope-smoke for its effects to take precedence over the booze. Meh.
I fell asleep on a couch at 2:30 AM, got up at 8:00, helped clear about 70 beer bottles from the host's house, got dropped off at a church, said goodbye to some friends who I'll probably never see again, and lied to my mom about there being alcohol or drugs there.
-
I too am no longer a member of the optimist club.
-
On the plus side, I can now honestly say that I don't enjoy drinking, should another opportunity to do so arise.
-
It is all overrated.

"It"?

Yes. I admit that your emu thread is funny. Really, I do.

I confess that I've gotten high a total of six times this year. It's actually a lot of fun, and it's guaranteed to put you to sleep after a while. It's not nearly as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.
DISCLAIMER, JUST BECAUSE: Don't take advice from some guy over the internet. Ever. You're your own person and should not smoke pot if you're uncomfortable with it, especially if you're a nervous wreck beforehand.

I think I can be talked into doing anything by a girl with puppy-dog eyes.

I'm pretty sure I would've regretted that.
It was this (http://www.teenranch.com.au/pics/tour/giant_swing.jpg) thing (http://www.fallscreek.com.au/Assets/1578/1/giant_swing.jpg). Not sure I've mentioned this here before, but I have a mild fear of heights, and so... yeah.
-
Man, there are currently a total of ( 1 ) girls that can talk me into doing stuff. You just do things for random girls and just can't resist or what?
-
I dunno, maybe it was less her and more everyone else who pestered me to do it. But she was one of two people who actually stayed on my case about it until I agreed. And good gravy, those eyes...
-
Go for it man.
-
If only. This all went down at camp, where I see her and other people... once a year.
-
Try para-sailing. I'm a little frightened of heights too, but I found para-sailing to be very enjoyable and relaxing. It wasn't at all the fearful rush I'd expected.
There are currently a total of ( 3 ) girls that can talk me into doing stuff. My daughter, my wife, and my mother.

A few things:
--I still can't really grow facial hair.
--Maybe it's because I played Wii Edition, but I honestly didn't like Resident Evil 4 that much.
--Power Girl has usurped Ivy in the Harem.
-
I can only grow substantial amounts of facial hair under my chin and between my eyebrows.
-
I can grow a full beard in three days. A students once told me I was the only person he knew that could have a five-o'clock shadow at ten in the morning.
I have one hair between my eyebrows that very course (like my beard) and can get very long if I don't cut/pluck it.
-
I don't think I can tell the difference of when I'm simply exhausted or sick anymore. That scares me because I'm definitely sure my diet these last 2 months has been pretty uneven compared to my first 2 years away from home.
Also, this waifu stuff is starting to affect me more than I'd like.
-
"Waifu stuff"? Are you still referring to your Harem, or...?
I can grow a full beard in three days.
Lucky *******. I'd give my left leg for a set of friendly mutton chops.
-
Mutton chops are sweet, but it seems everyone around me hates my facial hair. Have no clue why, since beards are the ultimate sign of manliness to me.
As for your question, it has to do with that somewhat. It has more to do with how reluctant I've become to let certain stories get closure I guess. I hate that feeling since it always pops up during my Fire Emblem playthroughs, even for games I've already beaten multiple times.
-
Luigison has the same beard growth rate as me, except I take around four days or so. My mom hates my facial hair, and my friend and my cousin envy it.
Lately I've been shaving my beard though. The ladies seem to like my face better that way.
*waits for CaptainJim to show up and make some sort of joke about me hitting on girls again*
-
I still don't understand why you guys are shaving, come on, it's November.
-
Much like the vampires in Buffy staying home on Halloween because it's just a bunch of amateurs running around, I shave in November.
-
I forget, is that considered a holiday or a... whatever you call "Black History Month"? In any case, it's incredibly poorly-named.

My facial hair came in at the end of 8th grade when I was 14. It wasn't patchy. It wasn't that disgusting, thin blonde crap with a few stray, thick black hairs that some people love to annoyingly grow out, and it wasn't uneven. It just straight up showed up and was there to stay. Sure it was a fledgling beard at the time, but it had none of the familiar symptoms of a pubescent kids facial hair that I mentioned above.
I've done essentially every [non-retarded] beard style at least twice except for mutton chops because I think any form of mutton chops is redneck-looking, nerdy, nasty, and pretty stupid overall (sorry weegee & wiggles).
Now I just keep it trimmed and neat, like a few days past stubble. Its uniform and feels good.
My growth rate. Eh, hm, let's see. My high school had a no beard rule. If I shaved that morning, I'd be okay, but if I shaved the night before, I'd be in trouble by 5th period for having 5 o' clock and be sent to the nurses office to shave, so I guess that explains it. This happened basically every day and it was $1 to shave.
-
I occasionally grow visible chin hairs.
-
I feel sort of ashamed for saying this, but... okay, let me make one thing clear: The disaster in Japan is horrible for all involved, I feel genuinely distressed about the people over there and sad over all those who have died, and I've donated some money to the cause for good measure. However, one of the other reasons it's got me down is that a good two-thirds of the book I'm writing takes place in or around Japan, and I am at a total loss as to how to tastefully address this event without altering the story's tone, short of making it a period piece or pulling a Song of the South.
-
Change the setting? I know that's asking a lot, but if you're concerned about your book being tasteful that might be the only option.
-
For what it's worth, Irem Corporation just canceled the newest Disaster Report game (about the aftermath of an earthquake in Japan) despite the fact that preorders (in Japan, mind you) actually shot through the roof after the real-world disaster.
-
Set it in pre-disaster Japan, perhaps?
-
Don't change it, dude. If it's absolutely, unavoidably too soon to have whatever you WANT in it, delay it. Serious. Remember Metal Gear Solid 2's ending? It would have been spectacular if the friggin' twin towers didn't fall down in real life, 'cause Arsenal Gear was supposed to tear through 'em. Noooooo, it's too soooooon, it's best we just RUIN THE ENDING OF THE GAME FOREVER, even when people play this game ten or twenty or, if it's possible, a hundred years from now! 'Cause it'll still matter by then, right??
Edit: and if you have a deadline or something, or if YOU don't especially care and are just worried people will be offended over nothing, then screw reality, just do it
-
Well, to be honest, I was putting it off pretty heavily, because I'm not that confident in my own writing ability sometimes. It's just... now it's harder than ever to motivate myself to write it, because now the images that pop into my head whenever I think of "Japan" are irrevocably ruined.

I haven't played anything other than RPGs for months.

I hated it until I watched an episode. It's probably the cutest thing in the world. And it's genuinely funny. Also, Rainbow Dash is mai waifu.
-
Trust me, if I knew someone who sold weed that isn't a ****ing narc, I'd be right there with you. The world is too depressing for a rational mind to be in -- I'm really only happy when things are distorted anymore.
Depressing as hell, really.

I cope with the crushing nature of reality through videogames, writing, and listening to pop punk. But hey, addictive substances work, too.

Whoops, must have accidentally clicked on the EMO thread again.

You're so cool.

But hey, addictive substances work, too.
Weed isn't really addictive...

I "cope with the crushing nature of reality" by not worrying about things I can't affect.

I bough Recettear last November and have literally never played it. I mean, I might have opened it once, but that's it.

I've been the same with Metroid: Other M.
I'll probably get drunk and/or high tonight and lie to my mom about it again.
-
Well, with that kind of thought process, no wonder you bought Other M.

We got to the park shortly after midnight. Each of us lit one up; I nearly hacked up a lung. Within a few minutes I lost the urge to communicate with anyone. The world and everything in it had turned to plasticine. It seemed as though even the leaves that once swayed in the breeze were rendered completely motionless until I physically jostled them. Everywhere I looked, dime-sized spiders and beetles were scurrying about. I dared not touch the clay-moulded trees for fear that the imaginary bugs would crawl onto me.
After what seemed like an eternity of wandering about the park, one other guy and I were completely overtaken with lethargy. Our veteran stoner friend wouldn't let us sit down, lest we "crash" in the middle of the park. Thus began the lengthly, arduous trek (nearly three minutes, I would reckon) back to said stoner friend's house. Over the next two hours, I thoroughly examined the ingredients on a box of microwaveable mini pizzas, masturbated in a dude's bathroom, and fell asleep on a couch by using about six pillows as a blanket of sorts. My breath still smelled weedy the following morning, so I had a glass of O.J. before my mom picked me up at noon.
Moral of the story: Marijuana definitely shouldn't be legal.
-
...But you're probably going to do it again?
-
Not unless I have to in order to fit in.
...That was probably the most pathetic statement I've ever made.

**** fitting in.

Condemn no one and you may find no one above fitting in with you.

"Rather be dead than cool."~Kurt Cobain
I might get that tattooed on my butt.
-
Or shoot yourself with a shotgun.
-
Cobain killed himself, yes, but the quote is still meaningful.
-
...Not to mention terribly ironic.
-
Hey, what about what I just said, that's like the most insightful meaningful philosophical thing I've said all year

Moreso than "a job half-done becomes more than one"?

Hmmmmmmmm

I was thinking more along the lines of how revered he was by poser teens around the world.
-
...Not to mention terribly ironic.
That quote is the exact opposite of ironic. It described exactly what happened. What is wrong with you people?
-
It's ironic if interpreted under the assumption that he wasn't aware of his own "coolness".
-
I'm pretty sure you know you're cool when you're a WORLD-FAMOUS ROCK STAR.
It is admirable that he apparently believed in his quote 100% and wasn't just throwing out some BS.
-
While I stand by the sentiment of my last post I feel a little ashamed of the language I used.
-
Maybe you're a moron, LD, and Kurt was just saying why he didn't want to live in Russia

How can one be a poser teen? They're pretending to be a teenager? What?

Puhahahahaha...
While I stand by the sentiment of my last post I feel a little ashamed of the language I used.
Why? It's just a word.
-
I half-expected "Why the ****? It's just a ****ing word, ****."
-
Just a word. True. It's the reaction to the "word" that may distract from the message though. Take the Tillman funeral for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRNxiPVZ69Q (Language warning). The brother's point may have been taken more seriously and gotten more air time without the "word".
-
I have no problem with swearing, as long as it's truly meant to magnify the meaning of a thought, or the emotion behind it. The problem is swearing excessively, because then it loses its purpose in the first place.

I've been out of college for a year, I turn 22 in six months, and I have crushes on two 17-year-old girls. One of whom should totally be dating a 19-year-old friend of mine whom she is already good friends with, and the other of whom I don't even know if she's actually even single. And both of whom are 17.
-
I have a crush on a 21-year-old girl, but I know deep down it would never work out.
-
... 17-year-old girls ... are 17.
Your "crushes" are ruining your otherwise impeccable prose.
-
At least neither of you are infatuated with countless fictional twelve-year-olds like Mr. Wiggles is.
-
You know, it won't be weird when you're 60 and they're 56.
Not saying it's not weird now, because it totally is, but you know how it is, the lower end of your dating bubble will drag its feet for a while while the tops of theirs will keep on rising and soon enough they'll meet--it probably won't even be so weird when you're 24 and they're 20. It's the "teen" part, the fact that you have to say the "teen" part
-
It's really weird if you don't say the "teen" part, though.
According to the Half-Your-Age-Plus-Seven Rule, CrossEyed should hold off another year before he taps that professes his feelings toward either lass.

My question is why are you hanging out with high schoolers?

How else is he gonna pick up seventeen-year-olds?

One goes to my Bible study, one is a co-worker (I've been out of college for a year and I'm a minimum-wage cashier).

See, this is good, because it makes me ask "Would I wait two years to date either of them?" And if the answer is no, then are these really prospects for serious relationships, or are they just kneejerk rebounds after breaking up with my girlfriend two months ago?
-
(I've been out of college for a year and I'm a minimum-wage cashier)
This is about 10% of everything that's wrong with modern North America.

Look, I don't know either of these girls, but are you suggesting that you're mentally attracted to both of these seventeen year olds and that it's not merely some physical attraction? We've been down this path before, but I find it hard to believe someone of your intelligence really could relate to either of these young girls in any sort of meaningful way.
This is about 10% of everything that's wrong with modern North America.
That's a weird percentage to just throw out there, but what do you mean? Are you suggesting the problem lies with the job seeker (in the general sense) or that it's the economic state of the, uh, continent?
I think there's a case to be made on either side.
-
I used to drink milk out of the carton sometimes.
What's wrong with that? O_____o
-
Everything.

Well, if I admit to it being physical attraction, that officially makes me creepy (in my current state of residence), neh?
Eh, I don't know. Maybe. I definitely think it's a possibility. And they're not really that teen-ish.
Well, I guess the one kinda is.
I don't really know them well enough to know, I guess. What I learned from my last (and so far only) relationship is that I have a tendency to project what I want to see on top of what I don't know.
Still, I have to say that working in customer service for the last nine months has made me question the correlation between maturity and age. But the projecting is the important part. Gotta cut down on that.
-
Doesn't everyone project onto people they don't know well?
-

The fact that a college or university education all too often proves useless when looking for a real job in one's field of study. But that's the beginning of an entirely different discussion.
CrossEyed: Would you find the personality of either of them attractive if you were unaware of their appearance?
-
It's probably gonna make a mess because multiple conversations were going on at once and in all the same posts but I moved everything starting with BriGuy's post to Not At The Dinner Table here (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=13626.0) in its own spin-off thread
Oh well
You know, I never learned to shell sunflower seeds in my mouth
-
I'll move this back over here:
Doesn't everyone project onto people they don't know well?
When you've been dating the person in question for a year, it's kind of a problem.
CrossEyed: Would you find the personality of either of them attractive if you were unaware of their appearance?
One of them probably. The other one I dunno.
-
Okay, okay, you got me...
I refuse to play Luigi's Mansion at any time other than night because the first time i played it was at night when I was little, and it scared me so much. That's pretty much the only reason I was ever scared of the dark. of course, when I play it now, I don't find it too frightening, but when i play it at night, sometimes I can still get that good (scary) feeling.
-
Well it is a survival-horror game. With creepily surreal architecture and a fantastically cold, lonely atmosphere. Even if the ghosts aren't that scary (and in all honesty a few of the bosses are, for one reason or another), it's an understandably unnerving game if you're sensitive to the element of surprise.
-
To this day, thinking about Luigi's Mansion makes me uneasy. I am quite easily spooked.
-
The toddler boss at the end of Area 1 in particular always creeped me out, lol.

Hey.
Y'all remember this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=12960.msg578764#msg578764)? Well, something similar happened again this weekend at the same camp, with the same girl somehow talking me into doing something far too high off the ground. Except it was a high ropes course this time instead of a giant's swing.
Anyway, yeah. I think I might like her. At least I know her personally and have more in common with her, unlike Emmy Cicierega. On the other hand, I only see her once a year. Back to the first hand, I could maybe resort to Facebook to keep in touch.
-
>She wants to screw.
-
Eh, she was probably just being nice to me, and I developed an emotional attachment as a result. But regardless of why, there's still this pesky emotional attachment to deal with.
And she still has nice eyes.
And a lovely singing voice.
-
Go for it, champ. Seize the opportunity. Tell her that the sight of her asleep is almost too much for your binoculars to handle, and that you'd like to keep her that way... forever. For optimal results, maintain direct eye contact and put on a friendly grin (http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o6/killinator5/mongler.jpg) while you say it.
-
Cute.
-
Alternatively, say that her eyes remind you of those of Specimen #A-0146

I've never been good at processing which month the number in a date means.
I start having to actually think about it with June and July and I'll almost certainly automatically take an "8" in the month slot to mean October.
It doesn't help that, at a time, I probably would have been perfectly fine--I have heard something to the tune that June and July were added in by some jerk whose name started with "Ju-"
-
You're conflating a few things: The two months that were added to the original ten-month system are January and February. Before them, the winter was a "monthless" time. The months whose names were changed are July and August, for Julius Ceasar and Emperor Augustus. Before the renamings, those months were called Quintilis and Sextilis.
-
some jerk whose name started with "Ju-"
I know, right? Those [darn] Ju's are such jerks. Why they always screwin' with my calendar? GET THE JU'S OUT OF MY WALLET (because i have a little pocket calendar in my wallet; totally not a racist thing)!
-
I see what you did there.
-
The Jus controls Hollywood. You know, all the big blockbusters come out in the middle of summer!
-
I have this thing for red hair, especially (though not exclusively) when combined with blue eyes.
-
Why wouldn't you? Red hair is beautiful.
-
As I've mentioned before, (natural) redheads are psychopaths.
I'm a sucker for blondes, personally. Four of the five characters in my current Vidya Harem are of that hair colour.
-
Red hair is indeed awesome, as pretty much any normal sane person who doesn't have the queen on their money recognizes.
-

Well, you've seen my own Vidya Harem Line up of dates (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2433/vidyaluod.png). Most of that list is blond, too, but I guess I don't find red hair as attractive when it's fictional.
Except in Dahlia Hawthorne's case maybe
Maybe I should redo that image, though, because I think things would be a bit different now.
-
How did you fit the images into the boxes so nicely? Did you use something besides MS Paint?
-
No.
-
I can't remember where I left my "hair hierarchy" around here, but red is definitely in the top three.
-
Red
Blond
Black
Everything else
-
Err, exactly how many hair colours are in that "heirarchy"? Being in "the top three" isn't very impressive when there are about five contenders.
Anyways, here's my Harem-in-Progress. I opted not to include Skyward Zelda (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110608170956/zelda/images/d/dc/Princess_Zelda_%28Skyward_Sword%29.png) because her nose is too big and she's probably a shallow person who judges others on their physical imperfections.
-
What about dyes and highlights and animez?
Relevant to the thread, I was reading the above posts and thought "Jill, Kumatora, Chun-Li... Lynne from Ghost Trick is wait why am I thinking this"

It's just uncanny how similar the host names of Cora and Ambitious Shade (and also the old foxmccloudfan account) are. It's also uncanny that one's very first interaction with an established community would be a confession rather than an introduction. I wouldn't walk up to a group of strangers, forcibly shake their hands while explaining that the first thing they should know about me is that I bite my fingernails and I don't care to do anything to kick the habit. It's even more uncanny that Cora's post tailgates Ambitious Shade's so very closely. Five minutes.
After all that I could still be wrong, but if I'm not, Cora: I get why an alt account would be practical, to get at least the one approval and hope it would compel other readers to follow suit and to serve as a safety net to dispose of if the reaction is negative. But you don't have to do that. The majority of the community here is very tolerant, to the point that the intolerant have been booed away and even banned, at least once.
-
It's a good point, although I don't really see how "Cora" is like "AmbitiousShade." Let me explain myself.
I probably jumped the gun a little bit as far as introductions go. But I was feeling kinda depressed last night so I decided to sign up for the forums. Now, I've read some of the threads on here before and I noticed that people are mostly tolerant, so I figured I could at least post it here without being ridiculed. Plus I wasn't thinking straight last night due to sleep problems and I forgot about introductions.
TL;DR My point: I can't stop you from thinking this is an alternate account. However I assure you it isn't and for all intents and purposes, I'll introduce myself to prevent further confusion.
Hi everyone! I'm AmbitiousShade and I'm relatively new to the forums. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks!
-
His posts, structurally speaking, look different from Cora's. Perhaps I'm mistaken. *shrugs*
Welcome to the forum in any case. Like BP said, most of us are pretty accepting, so feel free to talk openly about whatever.
-
Welcome aboard, Ambie!
-
BP, I think that alt-account smell is coming from Tim Buckley.
-
Thanks everyone!

And a reply:
While it is obvious I have alt accounts (I assume that Deezer knows that), Ambitious Shade isn't one. Also- made an alt account recently because of my old and well-deserved ban for trolling, which I now no longer do, and I wished to rejoin the forums. If Deezer has an issue with me making this account, he can really just tell me and I'll leave, no problem. I just missed it here. Also, I'm not here for anyone's "approval", I come here to enjoy myself through interaction, and I find this thread to be quite a fun one in particular. If you have an issue with me, that's alright, and I apologize if I've wronged you in any way.
(Also, I find it interesting that you mentioned my old posts two years after the fact, as well as the fact that I have stated I /am/ foxmccloudfan before [so now you know for sure]). In any case, if I've done anythign wrong, feel free to politely tell em and I'll do my best to fix it.
-
In ANY case, my alt accounts all have a few things in common: the old ones all have something to do with foxes, the new ones are all based off of latin. My only alt accounts here I believe are my current one and "Thefox2" (possibly "the foxreturns"). My current is Cora, short for Corauri, which means haert of gold in latin. The fact that I like trans people is completely unrelated and is due to 3 of my friends being ftm transsexual.
-
And here I thought it was annoying back when CE7 mentioned his girlfriend in every second post.
-
(Welcome in, Ambie, btw, totally neglected to say that xD)

Thanks Cora.

Wouldn't it be more direct to send the person who swears a private message regarding their post? Demonstrating that you can edit posts doesn't seem to help alert the original poster about their mistake unless they check the thread in which they recently posted--which probably wouldn't happen until someone else makes a separate post in the thread. Or maybe having your post edited by someone else sends an automatic alert to the offending poster? But then there wouldn't be a point in leaving messages in the edited post in the first place.
I confess I don't know the specifics on how the forum is moderated. I imagine there must be a more tactful way than filling someone's post with your own separate conversation.
-
Mods moderating mods?
-
Is that backseat modding? Or is it more like passenger seat modding? Or maybe GPS modding?

I confess I don't know the specifics on how the forum is moderated. I imagine there must be a more tactful way than filling someone's post with your own separate conversation.
Allow me to explain. My own personal feelings aside, the filters have been the standard in passive moderation ever since I disappeared somewhere around three years ago, when this became the norm. I don't know what the post originally contained, but if it was covered by the filters, I'm afraid moderators have no control over such things, assuming it is not intended to emotionally harm other forum members. If, censored or not (but not seen worthy to be picked up by the censors), you feel the used language is too abrasive to deal with, I have previously proposed that moderators mention such problems with their own posts in reply.
I hope I'm in the gray zone concerning impersonation of moderators, here. It does feel rather invasive when notes are stuffed into somebody's post with the intention of replying to other notes.
Ah, and I suppose I ought to take the thread subject into consideration... I confess that I have not packed away any of the boxes I used when moving to my new apartment, two months ago.
-
I confess that when I saw Thor's post edited by The Chef I wanted to add a comment like BP did, but I hadn't seen the pre-modded post so I wasn't sure if Thor simply posted the word and The Chef had his profile set to not censor, but thought Thor was avoiding the censor or if Thor had actually tried to avoid the sensor.
tldr; i can't make a coherent sentence with only three hours of sleep.

I don't like/understand abstract paintings. To be clear, I like surrealism, weird art, designs, and strange imagery. I'm talking about the ones that are just, "I PUT PAINT ON A CANVAS." You know the kind, where you're in a gallery and the canvas is just slimed with paint that doesn't even look like something that doesn't look like anything. The kind that's not even a, "Well I used this extra canvas instead of throwing away my excess paint at the end of each session and this happened over time." The kind where it's just whatever, or less than whatever, and you find yourself thinking "a two-year-old could do that." And then the title implies it's some embodiment of feeling and the artist asks hundreds of dollars for it. And you're like,
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmaaaash.net%2Fluigicommentsonart%2Fitsapicture.jpg&hash=29ff9291689c6f74fbab7075387aae45)
But it's hard to tell what this means. Is it above me? Or is it not art after all? Or is that up to each of us to decide? Or what? As an artist I feel like I'm supposed to at least appreciate everything even if I don't like it... or, if it sucks, identify why it sucks and what could be done to improve it. But with the type of art I just described, I fail to come up with anything.
-
We all feel that way deep down. Some of us just won't admit it.
I once read an article about an art collection that was ready to fetch a decent profit at auction until the proprietors learned it was drawn by a toddler. It just goes to show you're paying for the name, not the art.
-
Abstract art = mud on a white van
-
Reactions such as your guys' to this kind of art are the same reactions that many of these artists are going for. The point is to push the boundary of what can be considered art.
This Wikipedia article is interesting and also relevant. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Physical_Impossibility_of_Death_in_the_Mind_of_Someone_Living) What you could have done doesn't matter, only what you did.
-
I think our biggest gripe is what the artists "didn't" do, which was create anything that could foster any sense of attachment. A scary looking preserved shark hardly qualifies as abstract art, and more importantly, I can imagine someone becoming attached to it.
It's not even about whether or not you "like" looking at the shark. It's about the reaction. I look at some sloppily and aimlessly brushed water colors and react in disdainful disgust (I did, just last week). Is that what the artist meant to do?
-
If people are arguing that something is not art, it is DEFINITELY art.
The opposite of art is, interestingly, art. For that reason.
The stuff that isn't art, no one is talking about.
-
A lot of art snobs that speak highly of dada-ism (the movement that gave way to the kind of abstraction that BP is talking about) are actually the ones who fell for it. Dada-ism was a massive joke.
Example: Duchamp's Fountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)). He basically made that just to see how people would react. Then when people loved it he wrote a scathing review of it in a magazine under an alias.

You don't know what you're talking about. But thanks for providing the very link that explains how inaccurate your post is in the post itself! Convenience, baby.
Contrary to not liking it, Duchamp resigned from the Society of Independent Artists in protest when they would not display it. He commissioned replicas in the '60s for a number of different museums. He wrote about his intent to shift the focus of art from physical craft to intellectual interpretation.
But your link said all that. You apparently didn't read it.

The stuff that isn't art, no one is talking about.
So if I call a piece of paper art, it's art.

ART BIZZACH

It's beautiful.

I looked at it a bit and first thought of a bullet hole and then of a period. I thought of how a bullet hole can end a life, and a period can end a sentence.
Then I thought about Earth surrounded by the empty vastness of space.
Then I typed this. It was an enjoyable experience; thanks for the art.

Is the negative or art still art?
-
When I saw the above attached image, I originally thought it was an abnormal-looking spoiler tag, but then I realized it was just a black space with a dot.
Also, it looks like a star in the sky, which made me ponder the vastness of space, and a period (as it also looks like) also represents a space on paper, which insinuates similar infinite possibilities that are presented by writers.
Then I typed this. I enjoyed the journey through my own wonderment; thank you for the art, Luigison.

I don't know if a meaningful interpretation makes everything art. I think he who can draw a meaningful interpretation from anything is a type of artist.

A con artist?
Lizard Dude, that's quite a large rectangular button you're displaying there!

Confession: By habit I do the button inputs for this glitch (http://themushroomkingdom.net/bugs/3) whenever I collect a Super Mushroom in ANY Mario game, even though it only worked in SMB. Playing NSMBU remound me to confess this.
-
I'll second LD's confession; I do it all the time as well.
I don't know why... I guess it's just a habit that's harmless enough to not screw up my play-throughs.

I read the MLP thread every time there's a new post just to see if Weegee posted something funny.
-
I've been doing that since it started.

I second to doing both of the previously mentioned things, even though I know neither will work. :p
That sounds like a fun thing to try, actually: seeing if the glitch works in any of the other side-scrollers (ports not included)

Nothing I post in that thread is a laughing matter; I weep for humanity every time I post there.

Today we had a webquest assignment that required students to work in pairs on the same laptop. I read from my agenda board, "Two students, one laptop." A student laughed. We were both ashamed.
I didn't change the board, but made a point to paraphrase the assignment in other classes.
If you don't get why this is a confession, don't ask, don't Google it, or you too will be ashamed.

[dukar] just got real.

I *guess* I know why it's a confession. I mean, getting a reference isn't the same thing as seeing what's it's referencing.

Nothing wrong with seeing a psychologist. I see one every day I still can't find a way out of my hometown, although not in a professional setting.
