When you say "necessary", do you mean that the site literally would not be able to continue without it, or just that it's required for optimal performance? Just out of curiousity.

A very good method is to ask them on a date. If she says yes, make sure it's something enjoyable but not completely over-the-top (no five star restaraunts). After the date is over, ask her if she wants to go on another date. If she says yes to that, repeat. When the second date is over, just ask if she wants to go out with you. Simple, clean, and effective.

Right. Just move on. Did I mention that I'm 6'4" and she's way smaller? I don't know exactly but she looks about 5'3 or 4 at the most. Do you think that might deter my chances? I mean, I tower over her.

No, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. She might actually like that, to be honest.

I'm afraid of putting myself out there, and I don't want her to feel awkward, and when I get embarrassed my face gets red, and if I show any sign of weakness I'm doomed. I have one class with this girl but it's one of those community building classes for Freshman...

Who the hell told you that showing signs of weakness would doom you? Everyone gets embarrassed when it comes to relationships, that's how it goes. If anything, the fact that your face gets red is a good thing. It shows that you are completely serious about a relationship with her, rather than just using her for sex.

And I hate to break it to you, but it will be a little awkward no matter what you do. Ask her out on a date, she'll either say no and you can try again later and/or give up, or she'll say yes and you're past one of the biggest hurdles in asking a girl out.

I don't do this stuff, I'm used to girls brushing me off or being bitches to me, where my response is fuck you, but when it's a girl I actually like I am destroyed.

If she brushes you off or is a bitch to you, then forget her, because she'd be completely wrong for you.

Hell no.

We have survived for centuries off meat. It's a fucking fact that early man spent his time hunting for meat. I respect vegetarians/vegans too, but saying that vegetarianism is the natural diet of humans is just fucking wrong.

Do the current employees know about this? If not, then it's all a matter of a convincing bluff. If they do, then you have a serious situation on your hands. Is it possible advertise elsewhere, get a few more applications going? If not, is it possible to mess with the show itself so it doesn't need as many actors?

Remind them that you are in control, that you don't need their sorry asses, that they're easily replaced. If they're getting paid, make sure that you stress that you are in control of their money. Be stern when doing this, they can smell fear and doubt. If they still act up, fire them. You don't need them when there are plenty of other people out there looking for a job.

You know, you're actually at the perfect point in time to ask her out. You two know each other, but you're not at the "absolute friend" stage yet. Ask her to go see a movie, or perhaps for some coffee, or if nothing else just to hang out and play video games. Just spending time with her in a date scenario is a good option.

Whatever you do, do not make the mistake of becoming really good friends with her, because you set yourself up to become a slave to the friend zone. Even though it seems like it makes sense, becoming friends with her so she can see the sweet niceness that is you, it really is detrimental to going out with her, as she will only see you as a friend.

In any case, think about how much you want her, how much you want to be with her, then ask. If she says no, then it wasn't supposed to happen, and she's missing out on a perfect opportunity. And yes, if she says no, it will hurt. It will hurt a lot. But you will get through it. And besides, if she says yes, it will be the best feeling in the world.

But then, why should you trust me? I'm just a random person on the Internet, what would I know of your situation?

To be honest, I know exactly how you feel. I used to be absolutely terrified of rejection, I always set myself up to be friend zoned, and I was always, always, ALWAYS a doormat. What few relationships I had ended within 3 months. It wasn't until college that I started figuring out what I was doing wrong. I learned not to be afraid of asking, to embrace my gut instinct, and, most importantly, to expect rejection. To expect it is probably the best thing you can do for yourself when the time comes to ask. If she says no, you have lost nothing because you figured it would pan out like that. If she says yes, then you will feel ecstatic.

Ah, but I'm rambling. This isn't about me, it's about you. The simplest answer is to just go for it, and it's what I recommend.

Good luck and godspeed.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

2003, I think.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The wonderful little browser games that make me ignore my expensive video game consoles. Also the community at large.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I'd fix up the Top 50 Submissions list. Pixel Shrooms do not deserve to be there.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

"The Problems Of The Future: Today!"

Happy birthday, LOLZILLA! Hope you have a good one. :)

I have a girlfriend. She lives in the same apartment complex as I do, so we got to know each other relatively quickly.

It's really all about initiative, to be honest. You want a girlfriend, go out and find a cute girl and ask her on a date. Befriending a girl is a good way to go, but not to the point that a lot of people (myself included) take it: being a doormat. If you operate under the impression that she wants you to ask her, you'll do fine.

It's good to take chances, but don't be stupid about them. If one of your friends says, "Hey try to jump over that electric fence" and you're not very good at jumping, don't say, "Fuck yeah brother". If you're absolutely sure it will end in disaster, don't do it.

I voted for them. They have talent, I see good things for them in the future, as long as they don't squander it on songs designed to sell rather than songs they put meaning into.

You shouldn't worry too much about not having a girlfriend at 13, but if you really want one, it's all a matter of asking. Take initiative and it will benefit you in the long run.

Happy Birthday, Idiot-Finder! Man, I remember back in the day, you used to always say "Found one!" whenever you thought someone said something stupid. Ah, good times, good times.

Miranda Cosgrove in general strikes me as a bitch. I'm not sure why.

I love stories involving the chans. I always get the impression that the reporters have a deep disgust and/or a great amount of confusion over stuff from 4chan. Like they're trying very hard to deal with something that most Internet goers have become desensitized to, such as snickering at a bear who rapes children.

Woof woof woof, arf arf.

You start getting odd looks if it hasn't happened by your late twenties/early thirties.

Did / do you really care about yours? When age did you lose it? Do you regret not waiting, or do you wish it had happened sooner?

Seventeen, and I really did care about her. I had an opportunity to lose it earlier in life, but I chose not to, mostly because it was one of those situations where you can see that it's a bad idea from the get go.

I don't regret not waiting, but part of me does wish that it had at least ended better than it did (the relationship, not the sex. Haha, premature). However, I am very happy with my girlfriend at this point in time, so I don't dwell on the past.

You know, i'm almost positive that there's one guy out there who's looking at these pictures and shouting to himself in a rage "FUCK THEM I DID IT FIRST FUCK I WAS THE PIONEER OF SIMPSONS PORN FUCKING DAMN IT".

Of course, it's not like Playboy is very interesting for porn anymore, now that the Internet exists.

Yes, this is from that godawful pile of ass known as the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog. However, I still think it's a pretty good song. Plus, it's basically Green Hill Zone in disguise.

Well, it's not like they're completely unaware of their surroundings. A baby will still cry if you yell at it. Of course, the most obvious reason is that the parents actually like their child, but if you mean why random strangers treat babies like precious gifts, it's a combination of respect for the parents and respect for the baby.

Ah yes, everyone! Thank you all for your birthday wishes, it's been quite a day! A birthday cake, good friends, lots of shirts and money, and of course the ever wonderful feedback from the Newgrounds community.
