"Drop your armour on the ground, press Alt F4, and enjoy your new gilded version!"

Never fell for the many many many scams on Runescape but that by far was the most successful.

Kethcup on eggs is fantastic. With beans is even better.


Garlic fried mushrooms and peppered Steak is my suggestion.

I wouldn't want you to leave but if being here is causing such anguish then I can't stop you.

Also, leaving this place wouldn't make things get better in life, if that's your line of thought that brought this up. Not very far in life myself to suggest what to do with your life though, nor should anyone TELL you what to do. It's all up to you.

Dr. Mann


Honestly he didn't do anything and just wanted to live

-Falsified scientific data
-Rigged a robot to explode
-Resulting explosion killed a scientist he baited in with his false data
-Attempted to kill or abandon the second science team
-Completely ignored the mechanics of safe docking (something I assume he was given training in) and put transport and Plan B into jeopardy

He literally could've remained in the stasis pod thing and waited until after they'd saved humanity, and been rescued later on, if he didn't say his planet was habitable.

Yup.... totally didn't do no wrong.
He wanted to live, nothing wrong, justified actions

I thought Dr Mann was a genius, a brilliant scientist...

I got mine late, somewhere around 2008 after my friend showed me GTA IV. I couldn't stop shooting the assault rifle in the dark with all the lights off.

Played the shit outta W@W until I got XBL, then played the shit out of it some more. I only stopped playing after the hackers suddenly swarmed the game, and so now I try to enjoy it on PC.

Welsh has spaces in between; it's just that with place names they stick it all together and that fucking village changed its name to have the record. It's literally describing the place.

E.g. Llandudoch is St. Dogmaels ("Church of Dudoch"), Aberteifi is Cardigan ("Next to the river Teifi").

Llan = Church, Aber = (Next to)River.

You won't really need to know this though; it's a relatively near-dead language on par with Irish.

Isn't that a nice word.

Regenerate

Just rolls off the tongue that one. Sounds so durable.

Holy shit I didn't realise I'd written that word so many times. Disregard, I dunno, 3 of them, but you get the drift.

I couldn't get into Fallout 1 or 2 very much because of how they play out, but the Intros to both of them always draw me in to play again.

Lol living in a one bedroom flat/house is expensive. Also, guess which group of people get higher taxes?

It came from here.

Had a quick run through of "Dr Frisen from Stockholm" and it turns out it's from a published journal in 2005. It's not just myth, it's real.

That said, there is nothing special about 7/10 years specifically. It's just that's the minimum age for everything in your body to have been regenerated at least once, e.g. In the time it takes your whole liver to have regenerated (3-500 days), cells in your colon would have done 100 regenerative cycles (a lifespan of a colon being ~4 days). By the time your bones (IIRC this has the longest cell "lifespan") has regenerated, the cells in your liver would have died and regenerated ~10 times.

Not exactly a shift in view, more gaining a view. The whole sexuality shi-bang, trans stuff and what-not.

I've been getting this a lot too on my S4 Mini.
Freezes my entire phone sometimes when a thread loads or I try to type a reply.

Not sure if it's related but Google Play Music seemed to start running at the time of the crashes, despite never turning it on. Disabling it has lessened the crashes but it still happens.

« on: November 21, 2015, 07:40:01 AM »
I'd agree with Turkey here, there's been tonnes of "good guy russia" news recently to glaze over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. It's just an excuse to give on-the-fence countries a reason to return to warm relations with Russia and get some lovely trade going.

There's the problem. Putin can be good when he wants to. Why not all the fucking time?

BBC and Channel 4 do a good job I think.

Occasionally I watch RT just to see how their spin on things is and see what might not be reported elsewhere... my god they love to criticise America and European security.

I think the fact you are already giving her gifts (and very personalised ones, too) is generally a good enough sign. Can't hurt though, but IMO it sounds like too much.

Eh, I worried about every tiny thing when I was in a similar situation. You'll be fine.

So, yay or nay on "limerence"?

The fact that it's a psychology term, paired with the fact that I just convinced her to change majors (she wanted to be a nurse but it was causing her too much stress) would be kind of an inside joke. Not to mention, I reckon we'll keep exchanging mixtapes, at which point, I could just call the next one "Limerence II" instead of "For [insert name here] II". The former sounds better.

You know her better than we do, but if it's an inside reference she's likely to get than go for it.

You'll have to keep up appearances though, so another original psychological term would have to be chosen for a second tape. Oedipus is not recommended.

Okay so I'm just about to finish my mixtape, and I want to name it. I was thinking of "For [inster her name here]", but I want to try something a little more risky. What about just calling it "Limerence"? Here's the definition:

lim·er·ence
ˈlimərəns/
noun PSYCHOLOGY
the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one's feelings but not primarily for a sexual relationship.

Living's nicer?

Seriously, life can suck but has good as well as bad, with proportionally more good if you know what you're doing. Hell, you don't even have to know what you're doing and life can be fine.

It's also finite. Death, whether or not you subscribe to the belief that there is an afterlife, is eternal. Eternal nothingness because you physically don't exist anymore is a pretty shitty end, and eternal paradise, isn't, because that's not possible. It's like eating your favourite food every day, watching your favourite movie every day, listening to your favourite song every day, forever. (I don't think I need to go into details with Hell here...).

Making the most of the relatively already short time you have existing on this plane is worth it even if you believe your life is shit.

You face an end, no matter what you do. And in all likelyhood most people are either going to live lives of medicority or shit, with a small percentage of them being truly content by the time their respective end shows up.

Doesn't it seem....I dunno, like a waste of time? Almost like pointless meandering about while you wait for an outcome you can't avoid? Think about it. Enjoying your time while you have it being worth it?

How so? Eternal nothing is just that. You're not gonna wallow in some dark room for eternity beating yourself up over how you didn't "enjoy your time." So why beat around the bush, essentially? At the end of the day, your enjoyed time doesn't amount to much if you won't even know you ever had it in the first place.

I'd rather know I enjoyed my experience on my deathbed than be suddenly regretting what I wasted in the end if I decided "fuck it all".

We'd be a short lived species if we all thought "What's the point?" and just gave up living then and there.

Short lived species or no has nothing to do with anything.

Oh it makes ALL the difference. When you realise that your life is relatively insignificant in the scale of the history of the Earth alone, never mind the rest of the Universe, it makes it all the more valuable to me.

I agree though, personal preference is why we're having this discussion in the first place. If at the end of my life, somehow I was able to re-live it, even as a different person with no memory of the last me, I'd take it.

Then again, maybe I'm biased. Being alive is all I know, but at least I'm certain about what being alive is like, and it's not all bad. Collectively all living things* fear the unknown, and death is a fucking massive one.

*(with a decent brain, that is.)
