My room was looking kind of empty, so I went and got a rug from the basement. I think it really ties the room together.

I think I learned somthing today.

Don't drink coffee in an effort to stay up because you didn't get any sleep the previous night when you have a programming assignment due in three hours, can probably pull it off in one, and have hardly ever drank coffee before.

I was so hyper I couldn't focus on getting one line done, haha.

actually I'm not quite sure what you mean, either.
basically: write suggestions, not rules.

pardon the lack of coherence, I'm quite tired right now. zzzZz
but it might be an interesting thread.

>>118
Coming up with default names, which ID mode should be turned on, banners, background, posting guides & local netiquette, whether some topics that come up frequently deserve their own board.

Technically, the feedback board already has threads for these issues, but I thought it would be worth a try to see if a localized version in one thread could be done here.

120 Name: 119 2005-10-09 12:54 ID:Heaven

Also maybe discussing if there needs to be less moderation, more moderation, moderation on what kind of issues, etc.

121 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-09 18:55 ID:wvJ72CFh

there needs to be more moderation on alcohol and video games

When did people start caring about other people's children?

125 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-10 02:12 ID:K454IkZl

It's not caring for the children, it's self-preservation. I don't want to be robbed by or murdered by some ill-raised monstrosity.

126 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-10 02:17 ID:Qv9e+APs

>>123
The problem is that parenthood is a complex activity, and doing it well is extremely subjective. The logistics of deciding who is fit and who isn't is near impossble.

127 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-10 02:21 ID:Heaven

The answer is then to kill whoever was not raised right.

Been thinking about that, as well as a required intelligence test for being applicable to vote in political elections.

But truth is, criteria for the actual requirements would have to be decided upon in a fascist way.

149 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-16 12:47 ID:i/OU5NcB

i went to a party to celebrate a friend achieving the right to have a midlife crisis (aka 30th birthday party) yesterday, and i was hit on something heavy by a woman i think is 27-30 years old, which is quite peachy n' all, i mean, she's cute intelligent and everything, i scored a phonenumber n' all.

but, there is total thunder in paradise, turns out this woman owns not only an apartment (which is just cool, she earns approximately ten times what i do apparently), but she also has a dishwasher. Which these oldtimers spent no small amount of time discussing, actually referring to their dishwashers as their 'babies'.

Now once i heard the dishwasher thing i felt completely intimidated and awkward, for no good reason or anything, i mean, it's just a dishwasher and she's completely out of my league n' all. Maybe i feel intimidated by the fact that people around me are actually growing up while i've pretended to be 20 for about four years now (am 22 now).

discuss or something

peace out

150 Name: 149 2005-10-16 12:52 ID:Heaven

>>149
Who are "these oldtimers"? She's out of your league because she owns a dishwasher? Requesting details!

153 Name: 149 !XRJbgbO01w 2005-10-17 03:00 ID:Heaven

>>152
the oldtimers are people around thirty, who have all either graduated from uni or aren't going, but they don't really have any particular bearing on the story, for now at least.

Anyway, the thing is that when we were talking about this dishwasher, the things that led to her buying one and how much better her life is after spending like 70k isk on a dishwasher. The conversation was fun and everything and the thought of this being weird didn't hit me until i went for a toilet run. So i'm standing there, pissing like a racehorse, and i start reviewing the conversation. Then it hits me, this girl owns an apartment, she has a good job, she has (note: this is the way it seemed to me that night when my brain was slightly skewed from a few gin & tonics, a bit of speed and a full moon.) resigned herself to living her life as it is now for at least quite some time.

This, to some of you at least, doesn't really seem like a big deal except this completely goes against the way i'm living my life now, i own virtually nothing of value, i'm a poor university student with an outdated laptop and an ipod, i live with my parents most of the time, unless i have another place to stay, my whole existance is geared towards being able to, at any time, any place, say "yes, let's go now" to whomever comes up to me and offers me a trip to another country, planet, parallel universe or whatever.

So when me, packing my immense fear of commitment, started thinking about the difference between us i felt pretty freaked out by the huge gap.

But don't get me wrong, i'm aware of the fact that it isn't exactly healthy to have a near-panic attack at the thought of commitment and to meet someone like this could actually serve to get me closer to the ground, or vice versa, or both.

so, i'll keep you posted

The fact that homosexuals like flaunting thier homosexual-ness is one of the main things I don't like about them.

The same can be said about Mac-owners.

There is a lot of mac owners (some of us call ourselves "mac fags") who don't care what you use, and we don't exactly feel that the rest of the world is inferior not for using a mac.

You might as well sometime say "hey guess what doods, I am gay! bet you couldn't guess" or something. Either that or next time people ask you about if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend ( I don't know if you're gay girl or gay boy) say, "fuck no, I'm gay".

Heh, I was just generally ranting. Wasn't really trying that hard to troll.

But yeah, >>162, is right. Just like there are gays who don't feel the need to constantly advertise their gayness.

You don't see me going "Hey everyone, I'm on a PC!" or "Hey everyone, I'm heterosexual! Let's make a show about it!"

167 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-18 12:29 ID:Heaven

>>166 There's really nothing wrong with you doing that. Just like there's nothing wrong with people so-called "flaunting" gayness by being open about it. It's something people don't naturally assume about a person, so why not make an effort to tell them? That way they don't do something stupid that embarrasses everyone (like hire surprise female strippers for a gay guy's birthday party)
