I'm fast becoming a fan of bread and olive oil.
Problem is the bread has to be good, or you're just mopping up oil with a tasteless rag and swallowing a kitchen sponge.

Who are your personas, and who/what do you emulate in them? What are their dispositions?
I'm a big fan of taking characters from things I've watched or sentiments I've held and making them into a front I can use around people (because I love messing with people).
Currently rolling with a persona IRL named Sai, quiet and private (though in class I'm coming off as a know-it-all).
Utilizing diction for short association seriously teaches you something about how you use words and how varying degrees of relation in any social situation depend on what you say and how you say it.
Also, the person you imagine projecting is much different than the person actually projected. They're like the loose ends of a thread your're spinning, and you're constantly trying to shear fraying strings.
What I'm trying to say here is changing my methods of association is revealing a lot about how I influence interaction.
I also think acting is fun, so...
Do you guys have personas? Any interesting revelations?

Answer any or all:
How much work would you get done IRL?
Would people miss you?
Would you miss people?
Why would you stop posting, if you did?
How would you leave?

The stranger takes an interest in you and slides over on the bench you're both sitting at. The stranger is pleasant enough, but a little bold. Certainly nothing to be afraid of. The stranger is thin upon closer inspection, pleasant but thin, and you can't help but wonder if they're starving.
The stranger doesn't appear to speak, but waits patiently with an open mouth.
Do you feed it?

Say the magical time fairy visited you and gave you the choice of talking with a past or future self. Who would you talk to, and what would you talk about?
Future me and I would have a conversation about how to get shit done (education-wise, finances, mood).

 Do you guys have good views from your city or town?
What do you contemplate or feel when looking above?
Light pollution obscures the vast majority of stars, but I have it better than in a big city. Getting away from the lights is relatively easy, compared to said cities.
There's always a sense of longing for greater experience whenever I star gaze.
They're personal motivational factors, yet there's also this feeling of futility, like I won't be able to comprehend them all regardless of how much time I spend trying to appreciate them. They have a sort of numinous quality overall.

The more you're likely to develop a sense of humor. Is this true?
Or is the Sep7agon "brand" of humor not applicable in most social situations?
Also, has the Internet detracted from or enhanced comedy overall? What has been the effect on "low" and "high" forms of comedy? Does this convey something about how we think about current issues in a significant way?

Also a place to rag on on popular things you dislike.
Fukkin Derpenball Z. Heh.
My older brother tried to get me into this many times, but I just didn't see the appeal, all I saw were people screaming and powering up. That's probably not what the show's even about but ever since I've just sort of avoided it. I've already endured combatants talking incessantly in other things (trash ass Fairy Tail) and it annoys the shit out of me. Not to mention I don't really like the universe from what I've seen.

Spoiler I'm interested in pursuing extended life to tackle all of my interests and live to the actual space age/ understand the universe/ create all the ideas I have springing in my head at any moment.
So... I'm pursuing a track in Biology and English (yup, fucking English). The issue here is that I'm not convinced the way I'm shown is the best means or the one I need to follow. I'm an idealist, and once I have that ideal solidified in mind I'm a stubborn motherfucker letting go, even if it damages me. So I have an idea about getting enough money to engineer my own education free of external influences or wanting of a job except a job I create for myself. I'm not someone who desires to live in society, I'd much rather be on the fringes or not in it at all.
Above all, the existence I desire is one of freedom, exploration, and mastery.

We have game nights, and need more content for the Sep7agon channel...
So... game nights are part of the channel stuff, right?
And if they're not, would it be feasible to set it up that way?

I don't really have a definition, and I was curious to see how other people think about it.
I realize this topic has been broached on multiple occasions, and at the expense of being redundant I'd like to do so again. Who knows, maybe someone had an epiphany since the last time and this post makes them recall it (you're welcome).

Spoiler Between athwart stones I sat transfixed
on the glinting scene, pinpoints of peace
in a liar's sunless land
Then it arose from empty shallows,
splashes over dead stones.
A chill caressed my skin.
Thereafter, silence
dripped between skittering footsteps
I fled echoes reflecting
an approaching reverberation,
crystals littering stones
like jutting bones
apprehending with dead-end cessation,
retreating rain above
and encroaching silence below
Awaiting doom on dissenting haunches,
clasping ears with cornered hands
I stared wide eyed
into my shrieking reflection
By my hands they did not stop
but in my skull resounded
baring through my barriers with clamorous axes
and peering through me with shrill grins
on wicked faces
Clear as a night's stillness
I saw it bathed in brightness
ivory hands holding a face
limned in alabaster tresses
and streaking scarlet droplets
over pearly cheeks
I sat with a chest of burning anticipation
the other gasping
with a knife-chested handle
renting the silence

You don't even know if there are other stairs in the room, however big or small it is, but you know something's up there! And you can't quite place your finger on it, but it reminds you of something you've seen from a young age, grasping at it like some elusive butterfly lost in a distant home of associations and forgetfulness.
It's wondering which way up the stairs are right, but you can only step by the nearest approximation of a stair step, so even that's difficult! Not to mention not being able to see a path to where they lead or where other stairs lead to (if they really exist in that space and if you could even manage to find them).
You know what I mean?

When posting about moderation roles with Meta he made a reference to our collective mental state. We're all a bit fucked up, and we all come to this forum to spend time. Emotional tension that moderators have to deal with isn't a cakewalk; it exists and it's heavy. It was something along those lines. It's been eating at me in a sense.
It almost reminds me of being in Lost, and I've been wondering more and more why everyone here comes to post, and what commonalities we share. Lately I've been wondering why I spend time here distracting myself from my goals, and I feel that the answer is somewhat unpleasant.
What I'm really asking is this:
Are we all broken on some level, and if so should we try repairing each other to move on?

Skip to 1:40 to skip the silly introIf you had the skills to get ahead in life by hacking what would you do (since you have myriad ways to it in a technology expansive world)?
For law enforcement, what needs to be done to stop criminals from using these methods to exploit society?
What about cyber terrorism, as information about computing technologies proliferates globally, how will terrorism evolve to use these ace cards, and what kinds of methods will terrorists use to instill terror?
How will governments attempt to stop these groups?

This could also be entitled "Why do You Really Game?"For myself, gaming has always been an avenue of escapism, but also of fulfillment. Like explained in the video there are some things I can't obtain from my sedentary, systematized life. These things are crucial to my happiness and/or purpose in existing.
Feeling that I'm part of something meaningful, I think, fully justifies emotional investment in that meaningful thing. Even to the point of tears and anger, because it's something regular life might not always afford me. It reminds me from time to time that existing is meaningful, and to pursue things in reality that I feel in games.
That's why I'm going to take a break from current titles. It would be a gross generalization and error to say that all modern games aren't meaningful, but I think my experience in gaming lends a lot to nostalgia, even for games I didn't necessarily play when I was younger. And despite playing a lot of games, I'm not really sure what makes many aspects of gaming good. So I'm looking to the predecessors for this same reason, seeing why what they did was ground breaking and passed down through genres for console generations.
My point aside, why do you game? What's the part of your life it fulfills?
