Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I was born with pyloric stenosis. Without surgury, I would have died from being malnourished. The surgery took place almost one full month after I was born.

So, I don't remember it, but yea if I were born in a different era I probably wouldn't have survived infancy.

It's not until next weekend here in the USA.

They track your earnings in terms of ad impressions (page loads) and click throughs. Actual clicks are worth much more than impressions are, and clicks are far more rare than an impression. So you accumulate very small amounts of cash at a time (fractions of a cent, really). Once you hit something like $50 they will mail you out a check.

Singing:
- Tom Waits
- Louis Armstrong
- Bing Crosby
- Paul Simon

Talking:
- Yoda
- Arnold Schwartzenegger (as well as other Pablo Fransisco impressions)
- Generic British accent

Really though, expose me to someone talking long enough and I can pick up a decent impression.

Frank West wants you to be at Burger King by 12.

Pretty obvious, since userpages are where you make such announcements.

It's not even 9 yet. Bars and parties don't get good for another hour or so.

Anyway, time to get a couple drinks in me for aforementioned goodness. Later, NG.

Yes. We are handling it as best we're able.

Been way too long since I put anything up here.

Yea, to be honest I always kind of resented that you guys granted those requests in the first place. It feels like my ability to cruise through old threads I participated and loved has been trampled in a lot of situations. I meant... CrimsonEdge, Scarab, Nephthys, agustana, and SevenSeize right off the bat I can think of those people who've had their posts wiped/accounts removed. That's about 50k worth of BBS history that no longer exists.

I mean, I understand their reasons for wanting them (though some were whinier and more stupid than others [I'M LOOKING AT YOU RYAN I KNOW YOU STILL READ THE BBS AT LEAST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE]), I just have always thought that way. That once something is on here it shouldn't be removed because you already agreed to subject yourself to the fact that things put on this website were going to last forever.

"See all 19193 videos"

...

No wonder she's insane. If she can create and upload one of those videos in 10 minutes, and we'll assume she does 5 a day, it'd be over a decade until she had that many uploaded. She must do this to the tune of 4-5 hours every day.

You wouldn't even get the chance to cuddle up next to her to hear he sweet nothings, she'd be too busy.

I'm usually not bothered so much by most noise. But when my girlfriend successfully averted a crash because some douchebag tried to pull out in front of my car (she was driving) after the first time she'd been driving for over 7 months, she let out the absolute worst scream I have ever heard. She couldn't have been screaming for more than a second before I was enraged enough to drown it out with my own roaring "WHY!?"

I'm still surprised at how completely incapable of handling that noise I was.

The more mature you become, the better you'll be able to realize and get over random infatuation with those who are absolutely off-limits. When I was in a situation where a girl that I perceived as younger than I caught my eye, I just always associated her with being too young whenever I caught myself wondering. Eventually, you pick up on the association and get over the infatuation phase.

What's a lot more challenging is when the inappropriate girl is into you and forward about it.

Good luck. I definitely recommend not acting on your impulse here. It could go surprisingly well... but you are dealing with somebody who has a lot more growing and maturing left to do than you. It is much more likely it will go horribly wrong.

No. Given the exact same circumstances where the only change is that a man mutilated a woman's genitals, society would react identically. Why? Because in order for the scenarios to be identical, there would have to be thousands of years of culturally endorsed suppression of men at the hands of women, an extensive history of women raping men in numbers that DOMINATE the reverse, and the concept of a man mutilating a woman's genitals would have to be exactly as relatively novel to society as we find the notion of a woman mutilating a man's genitals.

So. Do you see why it is not an affront to men that a few women somewhere could find a way to poke fun at the story? And why it IS an affront to women if men were to laugh at a similar (but not identically comparable) situation with the roles reversed?

That is your opinion. Not fact. Gross is NOT a fact-based state, it is an OPINION. It may be fact that somebody could feel disgusted as a result of something, but it is only a fact that they have that OPINION.

The only reason that I am not generally disgusted with everybody, even though I do think that all people are gross, is that I AM a person. Therefore, I'm gross enough to not care that I'm amongst others and their grossness. If all people are gross, then my assertion is that I am also gross. And no matter what I do, I will always be this flesh and blood creature that vomits, and sprays piss and shit into toilets, or all over the place, until I die.

And if that repulses you, you can say that it's true that you feel all people are gross. However, since these things do not repulse ME (for instance), and certainly don't repulse all people, you cannot say that people are gross as an inherent thing that people are.

This is an immutable property of logic. If there is one case where a premise for your conclusion is not true, your conclusion cannot include 'always' in it. It can only include 'some' or 'one'. You are trying to say that because the actions you describe are inherently disgusting, all people are gross. However, there is no such thing as 'inherently disgusting'. Disgust is a reaction that has evolved to prevent people from interacting with things that are likely to cause them to become ill or die from disease, parasites, fungi, or what-have-you.

I'm not saying any of this makes people more or less respectable, lovable, charitable, or whatever. I'm not saying it makes them any less evil, corrupt, stupid, or horrible either.

Don't care about that, I'm responding only to your incorrect assertion that people are 'gross' inherently.

Many of you think just because I'm calling you all gross, that I'm putting you down. You guys fail to realize that I'm saying it about myself too.

At least you said 'many' here, because this is not the case with my argument.

I don't know why everyone doesn't think so. Can't you smell some of the things that humans excrete? Can't you see some of those same things? We can be pretty much offensive to all 5 senses. Like if I hear some blowing their nose, or farting or shitting while I'm eating. If I accidentally sat down into a pile of puke at an amusement park. If someone blows a snot into my hamburger at McDonald's.

So, it seems that your argument is NOT 'all people are inherently gross' but instead "all people are capable of doing something gross."

People are fuckling gross. All of them. All of them will do something gross in their lives, therefore, all of them are gross. Besides, they can't help many of the gross things they do. They are defined by being gross. How many don't wash their hands after taking a shit? How many miss with the toilet paper on the up-swipe when cleaning their asshole and get it on their finger, and then go around touching things.

None of this matters to the assertion that people ARE gross. To say such a thing, you have to prove that ALL people do ALL of these things ALWAYS. Or even prove that ALL people do ONE of these things ONE time. Unfortunately, you cannot. Or, if you can, you have to contend with the fact that not all people find the same things disgusting as you. For instance: some dude with a scat fetish is probably secretly intrigued by the fact that there could be minute particles of people-shit on the door handle.

How many of you personally have done something gross that you are not going to confess because it would prove my point?

None of those anecdotes would prove your point, because your point is a logical fallacy. If ONE person does not find ALL people disgusting, you can't say "ALL PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING" (because it is short form for ALL PEOPLE find ALL PEOPLE disgusting... disgust requires both a disgusted party and a disgusting party). At best, you can say "SOME PEOPLE find ALL PEOPLE disgusting" (which I would not disagree with) and/or "ONE PERSON finds ALL PEOPLE disgusting" (which is definitely true) and/or "SOME PEOPLE find SOME PEOPLE disgusting" (which is, again, obviously true).

You have argued well for EVERY other version of your argument except the case where 'all people' find 'all people' disgusting, which is the case that does not exist. If you are saying that it SHOULD be that way, that is a different argument (and I probably wouldn't have bothered responding to the topic in that case).

People being disgusting is not a fact, contrary to your assertion. It is not an observation. It is an opinion.

Disgust is a FEELING induced by the observation of something that repels a person. If you are repelled by the observation of EVERY person, you could say that all people are gross. However, that is not the case. I do not believe for a second that your reaction to human interaction is disgust.

It is believed that disgust is an evolutionary response to prevent people from catching infectious diseases, fungi, or parasites.

So, you could say that people are disgusting if you want. I would say instead "People are beautiful." You would say "but what about the disgusting bodily fluids!" and I would say "How beautiful the chemstry involved in those processes, how fascinating the biological properties our species has exploited to survive and thrive in the niche of our existence!"

It's an opinion-based argument, not fact. Fact is: most people don't find people gross. They can find some people gross, and some of the things people do gross, but not people themselves.

Meat: comes from animals. Animals: do not naturally have cheese in their flesh. Prepared food: taking raw ingredients and mixing them to produce a different result.

I meant it is in many foods

I'm not arguing that point. Just trying to tell you that you should have some because your reasons for not liking it don't seem to include actually trying any cheese. It won't kill you and you'll broaden your horizons for food enjoyment.

Says here they're made from curds, obtained through various methods including allowing the milk to sour.

Yes. Cheese is created as a result of the fermentation of dairy products. Dairy come from many animals. No mold is used in the creation of the cheese itself, just as an additive afterwards on only specific types of cheese in order to enhance the flavors.

Look I'm not arguing against cheese, I don't know why I have to be defensive, I was joking and making a point that its a little silly to put cheese in everything. Obviously there are alternatives, I'm not a completely retarded gimp. Shame on me for making conversation.

Dude. I'm not attacking you... just making conversation likewise. Trying to get you to come out of your anti-cheese shell to broaden/expand your horizons a little bit. You're missing out on some great food!

At 7/18/11 12:01 PM, Astronesthes wrote: The point I was making was mostly joking about the quantity of items you described that actually DO contain cheese. You know they have ham now with bits of cheese IN THE HAM? All meats do this, too. Fruit doesn't have cheese, but in upstate NY all the fruit is bruised and nasty, and if you find it in fruit salad, guess what makes an appearance.. yup. Cheese.

Dude, they don't have any of these things unless you are eating prepared food. Which means that at some point, you have the option of requesting that it be prepared without including cheese.

Obviously there are items at the supermarket that don't contain cheese, otherwise I'd be dead. I was just remarking on how much cheese there is.

There is a lot. It's addictive, has protein, tastes good, is an acquired taste, and there are thousands of varieties that all have a slightly different taste/flavor to them.

And, even if a cheese tastes good, I can't enjoy it. To me the thought of eating literal mold just freaks me out a bit.

Don't buy cheese that employs mold as part of the aging and refinement process. Only select cheeses actually have mold to flavor them (and I personally don't like those types of cheeses usually). When you see a 'molded' cheese it is not referring to the use of mold for flavoring, it is referring to the fact that the cheese has been molded into a shape of some sort during the course of it's fermentation. Cheese is fermented in order to make it the way it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese Read up. I bet there is at least one cheese which you may find desirable.

Firstly: I can't understand how you can say that you don't like cheese. It's like saying that you don't like vegetables. Or fruit. Or meat. Or beverages. I'm willing to bet that barring lactose intolerance, there exists at least one cheese variety out of the several thousands in existence that you do indeed enjoy.

Secondly: Vegetables don't have cheese. Fruit doesn't have cheese. Water doesn't have cheese. Bread doesn't have cheese. And meat doesn't have cheese. Just buy healthy food and eat it and you'll never have to worry about cheese sneaking its way into your food. If you're ordering prepared food, you can just pretend that you have a severe dairy allergy and they will accommodate your needs by removing the offending cheese products.

Man... it's a damn good thing you weren't corning hard when your wheel locked, 'cause you'd have had some nasty oversteer to try to compensate for. Honestly, good on you for keeping the bike upright. I'm not an experienced rider (due to not owning a bike yet... >: ) but I know how dangerous that sort of situation can be.

Really though, people, it could've been a lot worse. If a wheel locks up, you definitely want it to be your rear instead of the front. If the front wheel locks up you're going over the handlebars unless you can pull off a stoppie while hopping to control it instead of using the brake (basically: no, you can't).

Good story though. Glad you made it out safely. My buddy has been in two bike accidents. Wrecked his first when some bitch slammed on her brakes because she thought he was following too close and the second when some idiot in a truck blew a stopsign and t-boned him at 30mph. I'm thankful those weren't at highway speeds.

That's a pretty over-the-top way to say I get them all hot and bothered but I guess I'll take the compliment, thanks.

How long has she been on birth control? You're supposed to start taking it at a specific interval in the cycle and should give it a good week or so to actually start protecting against the possibility of pregnancy.

Also: women get themselves worked up into thinking they might be pregnant all the time. They're neurotic like that. She probably felt guilty about having unprotected sex, then remembered the feeling of nausea when she saw you naked the first time, and then convinced herself she was having morning sickness or something because she's stupid. Even if you wanted to take a pregnancy test to confirm, it wouldn't be able to pick up a pregnancy for another two and a half weeks.

I'm gonna refrain from sharing my experience with pregnancy scares.

There is space in your profile to share your favorite bands with Newgrounds.

Man... this is ridiculous. I totally liked Newgrounds before you could, like, like Newgrounds. Like, I feel like this like button will be like the apocalypse.

What's next, you heartless bastards?! Are we gonna start being able to poke each other now!?

I've let go of pretty much all of them. When you drive as much as I do in Boston-area rush hour traffic (which is infamously horrible, horrible roads, horrible drivers, etc.) you learn to accept that other people are terrible drivers and occasionally you will be guilty of the same terrible habit that they have.

Anyway, one holdover is people who come to a complete stop in response to a 50-100ft acceleration lane leading into the two-lane highways we have all over the place here. Completely fucks the flow of traffic. The yield is just telling you to make sure you stay out of the travel lane until you're at an acceptable rate of speed that others don't have to vastly reduce their rate of speed to accommodate your entrance into traffic. You can accomplish this one of two ways:
- Come to a complete stop, greatly increasing the amount of acceleration you'll need to do later in order to reach that safe highway speed. This forces all others behind you to stop as well, and screws them from merging normally.
- Just accelerate and make sure you aren't cutting someone off before you switch into the travel lane and join traffic.

This truck did this to me the other day. I simply assumed he was a disabled vehicle, and since he left me plenty of room to get into the acceleration lane he wasn't using, I passed him on the right and joined the flow of traffic. Somebody honked and got annoyed, but I didn't notice because when the acceleration lane ended I was doing highway speeds and as a result of the guy being in the middle of the lane, stopped, with his car positioning/body language saying he could jump into the travel lane at any moment all the traffic in the travel lane was slowing down to avoid the guy anyway.

Also: I've been texting and driving since I was 16. It's illegal now and sometimes a response can wait, but sometimes I simply don't feel like waiting and am going to take care of it while I'm driving. Very pleased the 'no talking on the phone' measure was only for those with a JOL license because that would make work a lot more difficult.

As often as possible. I've actually been to Gus' Red Hots as well, the place where the Michigan hot dog was invented.

Needless to say, they were delicious. Still prefer our home-made ones. You've got to use the Glacier hot dogs though... otherwise it just isn't quite the same Michigan hot dog. The Coney Island hot dog is an imposter.

28" Hans G with 1920 x 1200 resolution. So... by default anybody with x1080 has less screen real estate (No increase in usable space, just an increase in ability to view screen at greater distances).

... not that it matters, because I've got two other 21" 1920 x 1080 V7 monitors (that suck (from work)) connected.

Here at work, I've just got my laptop screen and a 21" Dell monitor to supplement.

Only chess or scrabble. Certainly not on facebook.

Telling you to fuck off hardly means I lost my temper. ; ) As for unoriginality... kinda hard to refute for a couple reasons: 1) I don't know what you've heard 2) I can't know if you understood my point as I made it because you aren't really furthering any discussion regarding the points I raised.

I'm not agreeing with the world blowing apart in 2012, just that society really is deteriorating. You almost made me say," GOD MAN, READ BETWEEN THE LINES!!" but then i realized that i'm debating about atheism...

I can't just fabricate your opinions with no prior knowledge of who you are. As an atheist, assumptions of that nature aren't my style.

I think your idea that society is deteriorating is biased based on the fact that you have only experienced a tiny fraction of the ubiquity that is society. You live in one small part of a very large world in one minute portion of a far greater time frame. As such I don't know that I'd grant you the consideration for the thought. I would happily argue that society is progressing in ways that far outstrip the ways that it is progressing. You can say it's a bad thing and that's your opinion, whereas I think we're making substantial positive progress.

If you're accusing me of copy/pasta: fuck off. If you're saying that what I just wrote in response to your thoughts is suitable for copy/pasting elsewhere: make sure you link back here or otherwise make it known that I originally wrote it.

I agree with that last bit though. It's just that, that's exactly why I believe in 2012 [almost] because it's normal for the sane people of society to acknowledge that there are people with little to no morality! D:
WTH!?!!

I don't see how belief in 2012 (I'm assuming you're referring to the alleged "prophecy" that the world will end) follows necessarily from the normalcy in society's sane members to acknowledge (assert, perhaps erroneously) that others exist who are immoral. I certainly do not believe we are on the brink of the world ending on any specific date any more than we are on any given day.
