I've been told that whenever people actually do use the word "verbatim" in context, people think of me.

That gets me all jolly.

Still, others don't even know it's a word, and infuriatingly don't even know how to pronounce it.

i was trying to come up with a kongregate username, when the CAPTCHA in the sign-up page caught my eye: "verbatem"

i thought that sounded cool, and it wasn't taken, so i went with it

later i discovered that it was actually a misspelling of the word "verbatim", which is actually an adjective meaning "in exactly the same words used," or simply "word for word"

that, and it contained a large number of favorable traits
- it sounds cool
- it abbreviates easily to "verb"
- it starts with my favorite letter
- it's reflexive of the theme of language arts, which i specialize in

so it was basically destiny

and it has also been my favorite word ever
which sounds vain, but it's actually not, 'cause i didn't choose the word; the word chose me

the only downside is that "verbatim" is actually a company that makes blank CDs and flash drives and memory sticks and stuff like that, so i'd probably have legal issues if i tried using it as a pseudonym if i ever became a music artist

No, it's not. It's an umbrella term for describing the wretched brand of feminism and various left wing ideologies that have come out of social media sites like Tumblr.

Bronies.

That was kinda easy.

I still think the term "desticle" is childish and makes you even more annoying.
I have friends who are furries, and I value those friends, so...
And "SJW" is just a cop-out term people use to describe people who have anything to say about society.

Which is actually a GOOD thing?

I like Andrew Garfield, but gosh, he was no Spider-Man.

A better question is, would it be fun to watch your stream?

I think the two real motivating sources are "hungry" and "horny".

Fear is just a caveat, and love... really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It's just lust (horny) with a bunch of feel-good, almost mystical nonsense. Something I would just lump into "horny".

I compulsively hide shit.
this is one of those scenarios where i'd instead opt to use the word "stuff" rather than "shit"

Um, well...

Spoiler
I read the Twilight series and saw all the movies. I also know a lot of the lore/universe/trivia as a result...
Better than hating it blindly without at least having tried it.

...You do still hate it, right.

i'm using these headphones that accentuate the background, like, rhythm instruments as opposed to the lead instruments

like the bass, but like, other stuff too

percussion and vocals are drowned out a little

i think this is what kids consider "good" these days, right

I liked them too. Not AS MUCH as the original trilogy, but they aren't dirt.

The Old Republic is just, fantastic though.
well, the other part was the lifeless fanboys who would act like the EU was gospel truth, and not a horid hodge-podge mess of un-peer-reviewed garbage that doesn't account for the hundreds of inevitable in-laden contradictions and internal inconsistencies incurred from creating all this extra crap in the films' periphery

and that's not the even annoying part

the annoying part being--every lifeless fanboy nerd expects you to know everything about the EU, so when you question stuff like the funny-looking lightsaber in the episode 7 trailer, you have all these whiny nerds jumping down your throat saying shit like, "IF YOU PLAYED STAR WARS COCK SQUADRON 5 (some shitty-ass game made in 1567 that no one played, or some boring and poorly written book written by some nobody), YOU'D KNOW WHY HE HAS THAT LIGHTSABRE"

ugggghhhh

Now the EU's not canon anymore, though. So, HA-HA. FUCK YOU.
(Well, not you, but... you know what I mean)

nigga you shittin on With Teeth?
don't worry, right where it belongs is one of my favorite songs of all time

the hand that feeds and that song that dave grohl did the drums for (you know what you are) is good too

the rest was some of trent's least memorable work, in my opinion

I LOATHE it.

And it's the fucking community's fault, too. The cunts.
Is there an era in particular you are, well, not disgusted with?
the era where i could say that i legitimately enjoyed the prequels without getting shat on

that was a good era

tbh i think these tend to be like horoscopes

they're designed to be agreeable so that everyone's at least satisfied, if not in total agreement
