Sweet. If there's one thing I like about the need to troll this place apparently instills in it's less mature userbase it's that eventually they grow out of it and join the ranks of jaded and chill regulars with some funny-as-shit one-liners to offer tomorrow's noobs.

ie: welcome back. : b

Learn to love rejection. Once you've handled it enough, you'll forget all about that bullshit 'not knowing' crap you're currently dealing with. Plus, you'll be playing the numbers enough that eventually you'll get lucky. After a few of those, you'll just be plain comfortable around the women you want.

Haha, I like the added touch of photographing him next to the water as if out of waterlollies.

Amazing how you're able to discern whether the sample is representative or not simply by size of the number alone. Nothing to be said about the fact that statistics is entirely built on the idea of taking a representative sample (of any size) and extrapolating with 90-95% certainty the real numbers.

The sample and study are perfectly valid, and as such so is the conclusion reached: men who display narcissism, thrill-seeking behavior, and practice deceit appear to have more sexual activity than those who don't.

If you want to question the results, you should be going after perceived response bias. Men who identify with the quality of deceit are asked to self-identify sexual habits and are taken at their word?

Yep, there's a chimney in my house. The fireplace is in the living room. We used to use it occasionally in the winter when I was younger but it's fallen into disrepair. Last time we opened the flue a brick fell out.

We also have this old metal plate on the wall in the kitchen where an old stove undoubtedly used to be.

Living next to the ocean's bizarre. It hadn't dropped below 40 until this week, and most of the foliage is still green. Supposed to rain the next 4 days though, so I suppose that'll have a large effect on getting more leaves to drop.

Have they got anything tolerable on there? Awesome would be anything sounding remotely like positive vibes (which is probably one of my most favorite songs by pretty much any artist), but besides tangerine sky I have a hard time tolerating most of their other music.

I plan to start keeping bees next summer. Always had an interest in falconry... though spending 2-7 years to get any sort of license to do so seems daunting.

Probably end up settling for a dog.

You need to start running your weight off. Run 5 times a week, increasing your distance or speed each week. After three or four weeks you should start noticing results. After 2-3 months you should start REALLY noticing results.

No big deal, really. Losses up to 5-10 dollars out of an employees till are usually chocked up to small errors and aren't considered important. However, larger amounts typically are subtracted from employee's paycheck to keep employees from being irresponsible with their till. You very well could have forced her to pay for your meal.

Anyway, that situation wouldn't even present itself to me. I always have my money ready by the time I've pulled up to the window and typically my first move is to hand it to the cashier.

Who's hiding their identity behind a lame alternate account here? As if there were any real lasting wrath to be incurred from calling some dude a pussy for no apparent reason online.

Ha ha, nope not at all. I hate that shit. Always when I'm doing something else. Who the hell wants to sit around waiting for their computer to shut down and reboot for 2-3 minutes. This is the information age, I could be halfway to the library by car in that span of time.

Tied a sock around my cat's midsection. She hid underneath the bed for hours swiping at anyone who tried to take it off. Finally got the sock loose with a pool stick.

Quitting cold turkey is a great first step, but you really need to learn the wonders of moderation. You haven't fully faced your problem with substances until you can learn to live harmoniously with them. Y'know, go out for the night and only have one beer with dinner 'cause it tastes good instead of getting shitfaced hammered or whatever.

Good for you, though. I seem to remember lurking your old thread where your dad said if you gave up your friends he would let you continue living with him. I don't think he gives a shit who you hang out with, just whether or not you're getting into trouble or getting into drugs while you're with 'em. So if this can convince him that you've cleaned up, I say go for it... get yourself back under a roof.

Good luck.

Follow these three steps (if you're a decent visual memory person):
- Look at the spot you're going to hide the item
- Place object
- Look at the spot where you're hidden the item

When I place pretty much anything anywhere, I kindof subconsciously take a mental snapshot of the surroundings. I don't think the process is all that difficult, I guess I'm just lucky enough to do it automatically. Train yourself to remember where you've put things, keep a system and stick with it. Alternatively, you could just ALWAYS hide certain things in certain places. So you know you always keep lighters under your mattress, always keep the porno mags in the manilla envelope taped to the back of your dresser's drawers, etc.

I always found the acronym "My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment" to be pretty funny. Hooruh.

But I remember the book being like 15 pages long, with full color pictures... not sure how they turned it into a 2 hour movie.

The book's spanned a great enough length of time that I think it's about perfect. I mean, I can envision a full 10,15,20 minutes spent giving the audience a feel for the kid's family (ie: a dinner scene where he's then sent to change into his pajamas and go to bed) followed by 5 minutes of the transition from dream to his bed becoming a boat and his landing on the shore, then 5-10 minutes of introducing the monsters, 5-10 minutes before he's crowned king, 5-15 minute devoted to his wild rumpus, and then I'd give them the liberty of 20-40 extra minutes to devote to miscellaneous plot items and the return to normalcy. That puts the movie between 50-100 minutes.

They are both equivalent acts of destructive abuse. One typically allows the preservation of life, but the ambivalence lies in the fact that the suffering lasts long after the conclusion of the violent perpetration. A rape victim's psyche is deeply wounded, the permanence of that scarring depends entirely on how thoroughly dominated the victim was during the rape. Some can recover. There is a feeling of empowerment one can attain from having survived rape and prospered after recovery. A rape victim may ultimately not only escape their victimization, but gain new power over their life.

But a murder has much more permanence. There is no recovery from murder, though there is often far more understanding for the mindset of a murderer. People can comprehend an unplanned violent murder as an act of rage. The victim's suffering isn't visible to the public following a murder.

As with most things, however, the devil is in the details. ANY rape is not equivalent to ANY murder, you've have to give a specific instance of rape to compare to a specific instance of murder. I mean, I think most people would agree that someone with a flesh hook suspension fetish, into whipping and beating victims during the rape has committed far greater an atrocity than someone who drove by and shot a rival gang member. But by the same token, I believe most people would agree that it's a far greater atrocity for someone to pull the entrails from a teenager and leave them to bleed out when compared to a case of statutory where the parents are pressing charges on a 23 year old who was lied to by a then-17 year old.

Sorry if I've offended anyone with my imagery.

Thanks, I was quizzical as to the correct term.

- Breast cancer can affect men
- Testicles are purposely separated from the body, to keep cooler temperatures so that sperm aren't deformed (thus, there's less likelihood of spreading the cancer to other vital organs, whereas breasts are right next to many vital organs)
- Surgically removed breasts visibly alter a patient's physique, whereas missing balls are pretty much unnoticed.

There's also a reality factor. Women tend to want to support other women because they empathize more. Whereas, men who hear about other dudes with testicular cancer are probably 'lolshitsucksyo'. That, and I'd be willing to bet that the breast cancer walks and organizations and the like were established first. I have this impression that breast cancer is more common that I don't know is true or not.

Perception isn't reality.

Why have some very popular threads such as the Rage's Gift to You, Abusive Reviews! and Scariest Masturbation Moments threads get locked?

A: no longer serving it's intended purpose (ie: whistle-happy noobs flagging stuff that's not abusive, then crying about their garbage whistle) B: Any topic about masturbation is automatically too immature and idiotic to be tolerated. Not to mention it was a glorified story thread interspersed with 'lol'.

Plaid.

A man is facing charges for mooning a train in Germany. But, that's not all.

The guy was kicked off after mooning for riding without a ticket, and as the train left the station his trousers were caught in the closed door, dragging him for over 200 meters until a passenger pulled the emergency brake, ultimately delaying 23 trains while emergency crews responded.

Gold.

Uh... I dunno, underline it with playstation controllers or something. Personally, I'd just skip PS entirely, but that's me.

Hard to say. Typically my first thought is 10-20 minutes after waking. Regardless of how quickly I'm out of bed. It's got me into trouble before: usually rushing to make it to class or work on time. The worst was early morning midterms at University.

I try to avoid being cranky, but gah-damn if I do hate being expected to respond to someone before I'm functional.

She shares her secrets, rouses our spirits, washes our will;

People find comfort in nature. I, for one, enjoy it because it has all the qualities society lacks and NONE of the foibles with which its people are cursed.

Same reason you annoy people, actually. ; )

Anyway, stop annoying people. The way you get someone's attention is BEING YOURSELF. Calm down with the annoying crap. Really, you just need to stop doing stupid shit and hoping your dad will read your mind. Just tell him that you annoy him constantly because you feel as if he doesn't have time for you and are trying to provoke him into giving you the time of day. If he's any sort of decent man, he'll attempt to make some time for you, but you have to give him a break. He's working full-time to keep food on the table and a roof over your head. That, and he's his own person. He might need some time to himself every now and again, so you've got to respect that.

100% funnier than FML.
