Procreation.

Which would be a cop-out answer if it wasn't said by someone like me.

AKA Carrying Capacity of the Earth overloads.

Well, that, on top of the whole humanity has dug itself into a hole so deep, it can't possibly dig itself out of it without the pain and suffering of billions of sentient creatures...

Well fuck right off back to the serious board then where you belong.

Why didn't you just say that initially? That's all you really have to say.

Discussion, yeah, but a bit of lighthearted fun doesn't hurt, does it?

We don't GET a "bit" of it.

It comprises 90% of The Flood's content.

Like Meta Cognition said, this is why Serious is just the superior board.

Well that's pretty fucking stupid. I'm not here to entertain you with your idea of a joke.

You shouldn't be here to entertain period. That's my point. It can certainly be an ulterior motive, but the main function of a forum ought to be... substantive discussion.

am i triggering your original compact discs

No.

Congratulations. Because the internet is serious business, isn't it?

It goddamn fucking well ought to be.

well, i always know it's gonna be something stupid, so

so the answer is clearly that you come here for the pleasure of torturing yourself you kinky son of a bitch

it's actually an OCD thing

whenever i see the orange "new" thing next to a topic, i have to click on it

doesn't matter if it's irrelevant to me

The only way to win is to expect everything to suck (or, at least, expect not to get blown away). That way, maximum enjoyment can be achieved, because you lowered your expectations to that extent. But not too low, so that you blind yourself.

You'll also never get dehydrated again, because there will be a deluge of fanboy tears for you. That's my favorite part!

I haven't been hyped for a game since Brawl, which ended up being god-awful. Everything else I've played since then, even if I hate the game, I'm still able to find enjoyment in there somewhere. And it just feels good not ever being disappointed. Ever!

I don't have to imagine, I've done that. I don't like to drink. Still had a lot of fun hanging out with my friends and meeting other people.

recognize that not everyone is you

i don't even want to be you, you sound disgusting

That's bullshit. We're social creatures. You may not be comfortable at first but it's good for you and you'll have fun. Trust me.

i can attest to the exact opposite

sometimes social situations are pure agony for five straight hours

imagine being the only sober person at a party that you were personally invited to by the host

so fun

mother

Humor me.

Okay. Let me guess. There's also not a lot of pictures in your house of you. As in, you just aren't in very many photographs. Maybe, at the most, there's two or three.

Nah, I'd say there's a healthy amount. But I avoid looking at those, too. If I do, I can't stop staring, and I get this awful, kafkaesque feeling. Especially the older the photo is, because in those ones, I'm actually smiling.

Are you asocial, or antisocial?

This. There IS a difference.

I've only been offered alcohol once, from this cute girl I hung out with in Germany while I was there. I declined it for a plethora of reasons (1. I don't drink alcohol, 2. I do not drink alcohol, 3. If I was caught drinking alcohol by my counselors, I'd be sent home, because despite being in Germany, I still had to adhere to American laws to "set a good standard for Americans." What a crock of shit).

There was virtually no chance of me getting caught, and it probably would've made for an even better experience (regardless, I still had one of the best times of my life over there). It's not like I would have gotten piss drunk. Whenever I think about it again it makes me feel sad.

I wouldn't say I'm awkward or asocial--I can function in social situations, but if I lock myself up in my room and never go out (which I do pretty often, especially now that I'm in college) I sort of forget how people work. It's not an innate part of my psyche, though. If I had any propensity to be more social, I'd be more social.

usually it asks you if you want to "resend the data"

i guess it didn't for you
