That's a very strong self-esteem you got there, comparing yourself to an irrational animal. Sure, there are many idiots who often could be confused with one... but it's a little depressing to say we are just like them.

You're a crackpot, go die in a fire. Seriously, if a fact that has existed for as long as humans causes you to question other people's self-esteem to avoid your own depression through realisation you are an irrational and unnecessary person and do not deserve any remorse, grievance or pity when you die.

What's wrong with saying that we are animals? Omnivorous mammals are a form of animal and guess what we are? There's nothing confused about it unless it's fuelled by religious "we are different despite obvious similarities and evidence because ________ said so".

We are the most curious and environmentally manipulative animal with the largest and possibly most advanced form of civilisation on the planet.

Each human is different and unique, thus killing one is irreparable. But I could kill that lizard outside of my window and find another one that does the same crap.

To a point, it's not that hard to find a human that is similar in their day to day lives as another human as well, making most people replaceable by your "same shit" approach.

I agree but if he clamped up on the cops, he'll probably do the same to the doctor or case worker. I hope the parents get punished only because I think someone should and I hope they never let him out of their site in a situation like this again.

I recommend Olanzapine.

That's actually one of the milder ones.

At easy at it is to use her failing memory as a scapegoat least you still value her feelings.

I have nothing to live for anymore, and the only friends I have left are on the internet. My existence is null and void. Sure I play guitar, and love to play games on the computer, but none of that makes me happy anymore. Nothing does. I'm in a deep state of depression with no way out. I've been taking medicine for about a year now, and it's starting to stop working.

Medication is only part of what can help you(going by what you wrote, it has to some extent), talk to a case/social worker or doctor about it and about improving your life.
Therapy is just as important as it is what has kept me and a few people I know out of hospital for a while and this may not help for you but it sometimes helps me to make something to live for rather than wait.

Suicide is always lingering on my mind, even though I don't have the balls to do it. And I know deep down it's just a permanent solution for a temporary problem. But escaping from this life sounds so wonderful sometimes.

Be careful as that can lead to obsession, which can overtake your fear, rational and any thing else that is stopping you from doing it.

Newgrounds, what should I do to make an impact on my friends, family, and possibly the world?

Do something, anything. Write a song/poem, do some art, go out to a restaurant club or concert with family/friends, maybe other people might have an impact on you.

Also seek professional help and if you do, don't beat around the bush, pike out, hold back or lie as that's the quickest way to make them useless.

If all your efforts(or lack of) fails you might end up as dead as you are inside.

Ahh, gotcha. So you're probably making a bit less than others, since I know most places do cut the premium down a bit when someone goes on disability, though I'm not positive on how disability works in your situation.

I'm not going to go into details but I was unable to work or stay at home and now the pension's all I got. I'm far from independent and still can't live alone(I live with my brother) or work(mainly because of side-effects of medication).

To the OP get a job or do some regular work for family, even if you are pushing trolleys for the night you will have enough for your game and enough for future games.

That's insanity, I would understand if it was some '1337' collectors edition or something, but for a regular game, a sports game nonetheless, that price is a bit uncalled for.

What's the min. wage around those parts?

When I started my locksmith apprenticeship in 2001, it was $225 a week, which is about the amount if you are on the dole and over 21 now ($440 per fortnight) so I guess the min. wage would've had to have gone up too.

I'm on a disability pension now(got locked up mental ward 1/2 way through apprenticeship) which is $560 a fortnight.

If you checked the add-ons site you might have found this.

I prefer Firefox, but I use Chrome while working on my theme and I frequently use other browsers EXCEPT IE.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks it does!

If a review mod flags a review as abusive and it gets enough flags to be moderated can they then moderate that review, giving or taking away whistle points from themselves?

Search string length matching at least the maximum characters available for topic titles for threads like the story advertisement thread which exceed the 20 character limit.

Also some kind of phrase search(possibly surrounded by quotes) or an 'and' equivalent by default. Basically if I put something as specific as linux users club or story advertisement thread in the search box I want it on the first page.

Sleep deprivation can fuck up your memory, make you gain weight and shorten your life span, among other things ; )

I suggest looking the CSS, HTML and XHTML sections of the w3schools website and if your questions are still unanswered, try the Programming Forum.

Unless it's a moderately complex stamp on people who are over 21 rather than something that under-age people can remove, what's the point?

I made mine, it's just some quick work in GIMP and I was getting sick of sigs that are either square or blend in.

Here's the old one, it's public domain(both this version and the original) so anyone can swipe/modify it.

There are degrees where some epileptics can't go to the movies or be in a car at night or use a computer without wearing sunglasses and I assume people who could get seriously injured would have some sense and avoid it.

He doesn't. This thread isn't about being offended and the epileptics I've known haven't been offended by lack of a warning and neither have I and the OP didn't indicate in any way that he/she was offended.

So we should take away traffic lights and speed and alcohol limits because driving is just a risk? How about getting rid of surf life savers because drowning is a risk when you go to the beach? Idiot.

Most artists do write those kinds of warnings, and they could always close the flash or at the very least look away. I'm no expert on epilepsy, but I'm sure it doesn't paralyze you after 1-2 seconds of flashing.

It can be enough to cause a seizure, depending on how sensitive the epileptic is. And seizures don't always happen instantly, sometimes it can take a few seconds for them to start so someone could close the flash and still have a seizure.

Seizures can be anything from a minor annoyance to life threatening and can cause severe brain damage and memory loss in some people.

I would like to see more warnings and if a show warning message feature was to be implemented on the flash submission page, consequences for people who ignore it when they obviously should include it.

If people voted fairly there could be a lot more shit in here, rather than here.

Also, simply clicking the mouse wheel(middle button) on a link opens it in a new tab in Opera, Firefox, Chrome and believe IE7/8 as well.

Blender is another to add to the list with a good variety of editing features and modifiers(non-destructive or temporary/tweakable editing), and you should be looking at editing abilities and an exporter for what file format you will be using over how pretty the image gallery looks if you will not be rendering the models in your editor.

That said, if you have the money/commitment, 3d Studio Max or Maya are great editors with a huge variety of features and even larger set of modifiers as well.

Stealther. It appears in the tools menu but you can hide from there and assign a shortcut using it's options. I have it as a toolbar button.

I the guy made each side a different shade of colour, it would be the hardest Rubiks cube in the world since you have to match up the nine different squares as well as the colours.

You can check the options using a guide(links MS Knowledgebase) to see the font, size and of course change it.

At the moment I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 for general browsing with the IE Tab add-on to view pages in Internet Explorer 8, I also use the Firefox 3.1 alpha for testing and Opera 9.5 every now and then.

Google Chrome is a breath of Fresh Air at the moment and the Incognito mode is awesome but in Firefox I just use the Stealther Add-on to toggle the same functionality from the toolbar.

Each frame in an animated gif can have it's own delay ranging from 10 milliseconds to several seconds so yes, you can have a variable frame rate. how do it depends on your software.
