How come the shitty fanartist had to type their username really fucking big in two places instead of just signing it really small in one?

GREEN pens, though?

green is my favorite color, i gotta get me a few of those

That's neat.

I have two favorite colors because I'm torn between blue and red.

I can't decide whether I want enlightenment or not.

red is shit

warm colors are shit

Wow guess your opinions are red then.

Okay so I sat down and tried to rework it into something passable but he literally contradicts himself immediately and the thesis is a run on.

I'm nearly convinced that he's a master of the English language. He's making redundancies and contradicting himself at the same time. It's a beautiful farce, really.

Nah, he's not contradicting himself--he's just trying to convey that he's received some mixed messages over the years regarding his career prospects. When you're young, they tell you to focus on what makes you happy. But when you're older, it becomes less about what makes you happy and more about what makes the most money--which is kind of a troubling paradigm shift, and it wouldn't make a bad opening statement if he were better at articulating himself.

He says his college advisor told him to do something he loved, then said he usually was told to do it for the money. These two ideas contradict each other, but he doesn't use them to create an air of confusion in the third paragraph, he instead addresses only the second paragraph, stating that was what influenced his decision, and by using "instead" he made it a point that he did not follow the other advice.

I, of course, don't need to tell you that strategy is sound, but only if he also indicated in the third paragraph that he regretted not following it as soon as he received it. He may mention that later, (I actually doubt this) but the third paragraph was the right place to place this admission of regret.

He even set himself up to do that, but instead he used the golden opportunity he had created to redundantly point out that people thought more about money than passion. Instead of including his sister's reply, he should've said how happy he was to have finally taken the advice he should have in the first place.

This is why it seems like a farce to me; he's basically using MASTER fucking English techniques to be completely shit. I just don't want to think it's possible. One sentence would've tied his points together and averted a logical contradiction, but almost as if by choice, he did not cement it.

My friends and I have a world of Darkness campaign where I play as Danny Phantom transported back in time by Chronos to WWII, where he became notorious SS Officer Daniel Fenton, known to those undesirables whose lives he extinguished only as 'Eric'.

He was then transported to the alternate fantasy dimension where the game takes place.

He absorbed the blood of Jews into his ghost form, which gives him perfect persuasion and intimidation rolls against merchants and any creatures that covet gold.

Tell him him you're convinced that he's not a poor student of English, rather that he has some sort of mental handicap which impairs his ability to use language of any kind.

Lol I live in the home of some of the deadliest spiders in the world.

If you can't get gangrene within two days of being bitten you don't have spiders.

What's with you and watching shows about texans.

They're crazy, we get it.

I only watch Walker Texas Ranger ironically

And you watch Dr Phil unironically?

You idiots fail to realize that this is all apart of Soviet Premiere King Obama and his plan to destroy/rule America. He was never on Hillary's side. He'll wait until she's too sick to run for president, and then declare that Trump being president is a national threat, thus declaring martial law and serve as our "President" indefinitely.

I've actually already considered this, and I've talked with friends about it.

There is a good chance that Obama could declare a state of national crisis, which would postpone changes in office until the crisis subsides. From there he'll just pull a Palpatine.

Life's rough down in Texas.

Can confirm.

Every Texan knows to lock their doors and windows and put on their anti-poltergeist cowboy hats each night before bed.

This is funny because I sleep with all my doors unlocked and so does pretty much everybody else.

Really? Huh. I could never do that myself. I don't know if that's something many people do where I live. I obviously haven't asked, as people probably wouldn't take too kindly to being asked"so, do you lock your doors at night?".

Well my parents lock their doors, but a lot of people just don't.

I'll occasionally lock mine, but in general you can just walk up to most people's homes and go in.
Of course if you don't know them it gets messy fast.

Ayy. I also went to court this morning. Good times.

I'm guessing on felony charges of insider trading, which you will be exonerated of because the entire jury is voting for Hillary.

How much were they holding you on?

I could've faced six months.

How much was the bail though?

Just 1500

What were the charges?

Organized Crime: Retail Theft

So why did you spend time in county? No bail?

Yeah, I didn't have money for bail.

Isn't going without a lawyer supposed to be fucking dumb?

Or was the evidence so overwhelmingly in your favor that it really was unnecessary?

I originally had an attorney, but she was a lazy fuck so I fired her.

And no, I cut a deal to testify against my associates in exchange for the prosecution to basically be really shitty at their jobs. It was too late to enter a deal where the charges would be dropped, since my shit lawyer got too far into the trial without coming up with this option, so they just fudged being shit.

The jokes on them though, I only had two associates, and myself and one other were not involved in the crime the third committed, and he already pleaded guilty and served his sentence.

So basically I just got a nark deal to do the opposite of nark, and actually exonerate my homie in the process.

As many of you know, in April I was arrested and went to jail for one month.

Today, acting Pro Se (no lawyer) I was found not guilty.

Or in other words: Jim and Azu, fuck you I'm never going back.

but even listening to the audio it just seems crass and insensitive to me.

Not a real surprise coming from the man who's first tweet after the Orlando shooting was "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"

He's right, though. What's wrong with what he said?

After news breaks that 100+ citizens of a country you want to lead have been shot, your first public announcement should not be "Appreciate the congrats on being right...!"

A correct response would be offering condolences, directing supporters to resources to assist, etc. That's what a leader does (or should do).

Had anyone else in political office done that, they would have been lambasted to high hell.

He literally said, "I appreciate your congratulations, but congratulating me is inappropriate."
