  1. I have the same kind of dreams, except my FPS experience begins and ends with DOOM. So I'll be dreaming of being chased by caecodemons and worrying about the Cyberdemon Boss, when suddenly I realize "hey, this map isn't in the game!" and then I realize I'm dreaming, and from then on it's "iddqd" and BFGs all around, baby!
  2. Is there any possibility of an extension? My chief of staff has reported to me that his computer blowed up real good. (I'm not being funny here. He had an HDD crash.)
  3. Not quite, given the soldierrs Cuba sent to places like Ethiopia, Angola, Nicaragua, Grenada, Algeria, Zaire, Yemen, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Bolivia, and the Dominican Republic. That's a lot of interventionism, for an itty-bitty country.
  4. The inability to differentiate how socioeconomic ideas work "in theory" to the way they end up working "in practice" has plagued idealistic thinkers since the earliest days. It has certainly been the bane of everyone from Christians to Communists, and Anarchists are no exception.
  5. I agree, although I do feel sad that this poor kid did get murdered, I also know this wouldn't have gotten half of the attention it did if the kid wasn't cute. And white.
  6. Heh - if you really wanna piss Russia off, try joining NATO. Anyway, given Europe's current economic difficulties (Ireland, Greece, Portugal, etc.), it may be wiser to move slowly for now, and see how that whole mess sorts out before Ukraine joins.
  7. Huh. I'd have thought that, after the Holodomor, being against more genocide would be viewed as a GOOD thing, especially by Ukrainians.
  8. I should note that my condition is technically described as "Mostly Dead," and that I have been assured of recovery at some point. At no time am I to be considered "All Dead," so keep your hands out of my pockets. There's no loose change in there anyway.
  9. MO-ommmm! Blightmare broke the internet!!!
  10. The problem is that it's notorious for a wrong reason, not many people know that it isn't just a facebook copycat ... I had facebook too, but everyone just kept adding me and I found that pretty gay, and I am so fucking tired of those MORONIC status updates it's no joke.. Not what I meant. The first time I ever heard the word "vkontatke" it was in connection with a criminal investigation concerning certain adult materials that did not star adults.
  11. Is true. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43655349/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/?Gt1=43001 The Law says guilty people can't profit from their crimes... but people declared innocent? Oh, yeah. Remember that book OJ wrote?
  12. If this bill kills Red Vs Blue or Freeman's Mind, I will blow up those responsible. Also, vkontakte is a little notorious for something that isn't to be discussed on this site. Also... dammit, why can't Anonymous attack WMG for being the cancer that is killing YouTube? Do something useful for once!
  13. Have to disagree. When you do things without thought, you don't go to such extremes not to get caught. What she is is an utterly self-centered creature. Basically, kind of a psychopath.
  14. I'm a bit annoyed that they couldn't "prove" murder, but I've been on juries so I know how retarded some people's standards of "proof" can be. This to me was obviously another case like that lady who drove her 2 kids into a lake because she had a boyfriend who didn't want children. The rest was obfuscation - the force has a strong effect on the weak-minded. Oh, and guy... a three year old? They can talk and think. Hell, I could READ at two. That was one of the stupidest comments I've seen. "Randomly murder" a 3-year old? Nobody who can do that deserves to live in the same universe as me. Candidate date officially submitted to Committe for Aesthetic Deletion.
  15. I'm informed that my Chief of Staff is working on this. I myself am currently suffering from a nasty case of Death, which is becoming quite tiresome and taking up most of my time.
  16. Wheat toast with layers of butter, peanut butter (Jif) and jelly (Smuckers sugar-free strawberry). Usually 4 slices.
  17. Vermin aren't to be reasoned with... they are meant to be exterminated. Or do what I do... tell them they're just jelly because they're from one of those countries that doesn't matter. That's usually good for a BAWWW or two. (I wouldn't ever rag on a country unprovoked, but when someone from a particular country is ragging on mine, theirs becomes fair game for the duration of their participation in the conversation.)* *Hmm, that's an awful lot of "ations." When did I become Jesse Jackson?
  18. MY election will bring you ninjas, lasers, gold, doughnuts, a 24-hour all you can eat buffet, and 3-D pr0n. And these:
  19. It's called a "script." Once it's downloaded it keeps working as long as the page is still open, whether or not you turn off your internet. 21st Century, BOOYAH! the "Script" does not account for live changes and runs on a formula given by the creator, so how is it accurate in any way? Because the formula isn't gonna change until the Govt agrees on a new deal to raise the debt limit / cut spending. Which, according to the media, must take place by August 2, or we're all gonna die.
  20. It's called a "script." Once it's downloaded it keeps working as long as the page is still open, whether or not you turn off your internet. 21st Century, BOOYAH!
  21. New Effect: Listening to "Superman theme Song" Grants: +5 bonus to movement (vehicular) for duration of song, or until Police use VASCAR. Skill: "Have a Listen, Officer" Grants: Get out of Ticket Free Card (Single Use.) A Wild Classroom of 25 8-12 Year Olds Appears! Doom Shepherd used AUTHORITY! It's not very effective. Classroom used CHAOS! +50 Migraine Damage Doom Shepherd used ACTIVITIES! +20 Distraction Damage Classroom used DUMP THE SUPPLIES! +50 Yelling at them Damage Doom Shepherd used PARENTS' CELL PHONE NUMBERS! It's SUPER-EFFECTIVE! +500 Fear Damage! Classroom is SILENCED!
  22. This is more of a generalized statement "Rant," not directed at anyone in particular. People... HANG. UP. AND. DRIVE!!!!!!!!!
  23. Banned because it's been too long since I've banned anyone. Also, because CCG games pale in comparison to tabletop RPG's. I use my Helm of Disintegration. Save Vs. Spells or roll up a new character.
  24. Well to say it with some elven words from Lord of the Rings: 'History became legend. Legend became myth.' I think (for myself only) many things of the bible simply got exaggerated over time and gone through to many hands and languages to be still the same stories that once might have happened. Especially since mostly only the history of the winner is kept alive. If I wrote a book about my time at the British Columbia Institute of Technology twenty years from now, and said on a specific date that there was a student protest that got violent, and five people died- that book would not last. Critics would say "That's innacurate." and people who were actually there would call me out. The book wouldn't last one year for credibility. And yet in testaments and public historical documents written by the Apostles, Jesus Christ died and came back to life, and ascended to heavan in front of many people, within twenty years of the event, and highly learned credible people have held it as a true document, for over two thousand years. If there was exaggeration or conjecture, it would not have stood the test of time, it would have been gleaned out by centuries of highly critical scholars, historians and researchers. It is either the most competent conspiracy ever instated by mankind, or true. If you wish to read about the more fantastical tales of Jesus that may have actually been made up, there is a book of that. It's called the Apocrypha. Here's a few problems with the above statements... 1. The accounts of the Gospels are not actually contemporary. The earliest verifiable copies of the cospels date from considerably after the events. For example, the earliest known Gospel of Luke dates to about 200 AD. 2. During the "Dark Ages," all scholarly works, indeed essentially all writing, was copied and passed down through the years by ONE group of people: the Priestly class. This means that they could add and delete whatever references (or "historical accounts") they chose to bolster their particular viewpoints. Works that the priest class disagreed with were lost to history, often intentionally destroyed: see the story of the Library at Alexandria, of Hypatia, and of the thug who ended up becoming "Saint" Cyril. (And later, what happened to the books of the Native American cultures first encountered by the same Priestly class.) 3. We haven't actually HAD "centuries of highly critical scholars." What we've had for most of our history was a priestly class comparable in power to the religious police of Saudi Arabia or the Taliban, where questioning the "inerrancy" of Scripture could get one burnt at the stake or worse. It's only in the last couple of hundred years that people have been ALLOWED to doubt without risking their necks. And doubt they did... there's a reason that the edition of the Bible edited by the man generally considered the smartest US President (Jefferson) contains no references to miracles or the divinity of Jesus.
  25. Actually, I found the internet quite useful for blowing off steam a few years ago when I was going through some deep @#$%. This was back when the girl I was living with was on much different paid meds than she is now (really nasty bad ones), and everything about the relationship was going to hell because the meds were messing with her personality, making her not just stupid but angry and aggressive to the point of violence. It finally hit the breaking point when she accidentally OD'd and nearly died at my home while I was at work. I actually managed to find more sympathy and useful coping strategies online than I could find in the real world, though this was largely because I belonged to a large forum and there were medical professionals and psychologists and other people with great experience among its members. So yeah, venting online for that sort of thing isn't necessarily a bad thing. (Things are better now, Everything is cool.)
