Somebody had to restart this thread. I hope it's okay if I do it.
You aren't mad at me, are you?

I remember about three dreams in a year, and usually not in full. In my most recent dream, I was somehow transformed into a little girl with time travel powers and I abducted a friend of mine and we went on a jouney or adventure of some kind. I don't remember what exactly the adventure entailed, but I do remember hitting on my friend several times.

Have you ever 1CC'd any Touhou games?

I had no idea so I took this quiz: http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/narcissistic.htm
Your Total: 14
Between 12 and 15 is average.
Authority: 2.00
Self-Sufficiency: 2.00
Superiority: 3.00
Exhibitionism: 2.00
Exploitativeness: 2.00
Vanity: 0.00
Entitlement: 3.00
So apparently I'm average but slightly entitled and superior.

How do I get the tabs in Firefox to extend ALL the way to the top?
>>544
Go into userChrome.css and mess around with the properties of tabbrowser-tab. Try something like height: 40px !important
You might also want to mess around with min-height, max-height, margin and padding to suit your needs.

If you could hang out with any one person--fact or fiction, dead or alive--for a day, who would it be?

I can't say I have a specific system of morals or ethics. I find them to be a very subjective thing, and one that is often constantly evolving. My own morals and ethics are derived from the previously conceived concepts of others (those I primarily agree with). To follow any one particular system feels slightly dogmatic, and to me leaves a lot open for corruption. Though, overall the ideas that pertain to morals and ethics remain a complicated thing to consider and I argue I can't really come to anything conclusive in regards to them, only act on what I feel is right.

Should I bother getting Guild Wars 2?
>>545
Thank you kindly, "height: 24px !important;" did the trick for me.
>>550
You don't. Just go with the flow, rebuilding and repairing when you need to.

What are your results when you take the isidewith test? (http://www.isidewith.com/)
What should I do to study an English reading and writing conversation?
>>553
Thank you, I still read and write by an automatic translation today.
I want to acquire the sense of words like natives early.
At first I study from grammar!
>>563 That's not a question. I do know of a fat asian lass with big titties but I can't remember her name. You've probably seen her anyway I bet.
>>566
What question(s) appearing in this thread so far have you particularly liked?
>>568
"Mom, Dad, meet my girlfriend. She's ten years older than me."
or some variation of that...
Alternatively, you could just not tell them. They would be faced with the prospect of rudely asking her age, and when they do, your older and wiser girlfriend might be able to handle the situation better. If wisdom is actually a direct function of age.
>>570
Is wisdom a function of age, and if so, what is the function?
>>569
It might very well be. This sounds like a problem in psychohistory, but I can take a crack at it. For a = honesty, b = dishonesty, c = hardships, d = morale, e = kindness, the function might look something like this (taking all values as nonnegative integers): f(x) = [cd(ax + e)]/b
Now we need some sort of "wisdom scale" by which to judge the results.
>>571
What was the last thing/event you really enjoyed?
Every time I answered a question another one appeared! But whatever, I'm posting anyway!
>>572
I use the mnemonic "example given" for e.g. and "in explanation" for i.e. However, I see no reason to use them unless you're trying to sound scholarly. The phrases "for example" and "such as" are more natural, and less disruptive of sentence flow.
>>573
No. Standards are arbitrary, languages evolve, and there will always be a divide between the language of commoners and that of more learned individuals.
>>574
I don't.

If I told you that I really enjoy playing Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row 2 and GTA IV, which other PS3 releases would you recommend to me? (Because of the mods available, I suspect Saints Row the Third would be better enjoyed on PC.)
Oh, bother.
>>577
Probably the one that starts "I wandered lonely as a cloud", which was one of the first things my Japanese teacher at Sheffield had us translate back into the original language.

I think they are a great idea, and a vast improvement over forced registration boards and social networking. I love the idea that people are judged on their words and ideas over their identities. However, there are problems, such as lack of a diverse userbase and simplistic content filtering.
>>582
Can you think of a better content organization and filtering system than our current thread/post/sage system? (And one that's not moderation or a voting system)
>>581
A thread hide/subscribe feature, sage by default (and renaming it to be a "don't bump" feature), text art detection, and better RSS (or API access) would all be good incremental improvements to this existing system and have been proven successes on other boards.
>>583
What if I told you I used to be Cowboy Curtis?
>>583
I'd do a quick google search, find nothing on the first page of results, look back at your question, and frown after rereading the second clause, realizing that you apparently won some competition featured in a game, not an actual game competition. Desperate for clarification, I would tab back to the search results, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yoN0mgxR1M and stop watching after two and a half minutes, thinking it's probably completely unrelated. Then I'd give up and stop caring, smile politely and say "good for you".
>>585
What should I do with my life?
>>586
I've always liked crisps plain. Not even ready salted, but as plain as they can be. I live near a crisp factory, and as children my friends and I used to sneak in and steal crisps. I sometimes snagged plain ones before they were sent off to be salted. Then when I grew up and stopped stealing from an honest company like Walkers, they introduced those Salt & Shake crisps, and I just wouldn't put any salt in.
If I had to answer your question though, tomato sauce or ice cream (both are nice, try it). For Doritos, it's those hot salsa dips they make. Those are delicious.
>>588
What is the biggest thing you have ever stolen?
>>590
Normally I'd report this as spam, but these channels actually seem to work, so ... thanks, I guess? Still, you didn't ask a question, and thus broke this rather big thread.
Instead I'll just report my score on >>544's narcissism test:
Total score: 4
Authority: 0.00
Self-Sufficiency: 1.00
Superiority: 3.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 0.00
Vanity: 0.00
Entitlement: 0.00

What forum/site do you most frequently post to, and is there another forum you just prefer to read frequently without posting anything?
Hello!
I grow the bowels for constipation, and, please teach how to make of a laxative having heavy body.

Chilling after work, browsing the internet and trying not to think about tomorrow. Also I am hypocritically feeling slightly annoyed about the quality of the guy who keeps being annoyed about the quality of DQN.

I don't really believe in "luck" as some people conceive it, but I do think I am luckier than most people in terms of being born into a moderately wealthy (compared to the third world) and white family, opening plenty of doors for me and allowing me to live a comfortable and free lifestyle that I can afford to take for granted.
>>623
What have you been listening to lately?
>>623 Somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2, considering I watch about an hour of it every week (and that's only if I remember that a particular show I like is on at a particular time, which doesn't really happen often).
>>625 What are your thoughts on the influence that recent developments in technology are having on music?
>>624
I think most intriguing of all is the preservation of music through digital media, the internet and so on and how long it will possibly all live on. One nice example is the Golden Record we stuck on the Voyager 2 satellite; it will drift through space for many tens of thousands of years, ready to be played back at any moment. Just think of all the forms of music in early human history that, thanks to any proper method of safekeeping it, have been lost. Though I wonder, how much music from today's era will we want to actually keep, considering how terrible most of it has now become?
As for technology evolving how music can be produced and created, it really hasn't changed all that much from the early days of musique concrète. Aside from how it can sound, a synthesizer hasn't changed too much and there has not been any striking developments in acoustic instruments in a long time.
>>626
Do you think the mailman will finally deliver the books I've been waiting on, or did they get perhaps lost in transit?
>>626
If I just googled or wikipedia'd it wouldn't be very interesting so I'll just guess. Your ears are connected by sinuses to your mouth and nose, so I'm guessing it's basically like the mucus in your nose that accumulates dust and shit over time, thus getting sticky and bigger over time. No idea if this is even close.
>>627
In a relationship where one person loves more strongly than the other, who has the harder time?
>>628
He loves his partner too much to break their heart, but not enough to feel completely satisfied. Thus he feels trapped. He enjoys the security and warmth of the relationship, and ending it would not guarantee his happiness. Yet the longer the relationship continues, the more his latent regret begins to build. The regret eats away at his happiness until he must either save himself by hurting his partner, whom he still cares about, or sacrifice his soul in order to continue the facade.
A little bit of an exaggeration, maybe, but that's the general gist. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.

What is your favourite branch of science?
>>631I don't watch TV and haven't for a good few years, but I've heard some friends say it's good, so maybe if I gave it a chance it would surprise me. It's happened with some other series I've happened to watch with friends on DVD; I was pretty disillusioned with TV and I never considered that there could be "good TV" past a few cult shows I like but I got baked and watched the Sky "Coming this year" set of trailers" and I was genuinely drawn in by what I was seeing
>>633 Have you ever watched the UK TV show Life On Mars?
>>632
Yes! I really enjoyed it. It struck a good balance between the mystery of what had happened to Sam Tyler, and zany 70s police antics. I also respect that it ended when and how it did, leaving things open to interpretation. This is why I was upset with Ashes to Ashes--it completely ruined that within the first five minutes, and it extended a show that should have ended peacefully.
I also watched the American pilot, which made me laugh more than anything. I don't think that was quite what they were going for.

How do you feel about the upcoming series of Red Dwarf?
