New Testingstan

Giving enough of a shit about a public problem that you're willing to unglue your face from vapid pop culture nonsense long enough to put serious effort into trying to solve that problem, I figure. But I don't like that term. Everybody affected by something deserves to have input on it. You're basi...

I'm asking for personal information. Especially banking and financial information.

But only for your own good.

inclined to think that societies should operate in an orderly way akin to well-functioning machines Because that's exactly how they should operate. Actually, I suppose a better statement would be "If properly constructed, why wouldn't they?" Furthermore, what's the point? Humans, the basi...

Chaos, for lack of a better word, is good. Chaos is right, chaos works. Chaos clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Chaos, in all of its forms, chaos in life, in society, and in the world has marked the upward surge of mankind. And chaos will not only save Te...

...are you sure about that, Akhlut? That seems like the kind of thing the internet would get up-in-arms about, and I don't remember hearing about it. There was backlash among a fair amount of people, but because a lot of Katniss's traits can apply to Mediterranean white people (along with biracial ...

Speaking of more of a literature analysis of things rather than jiggawatts and what you would do to win, I'm glad to see that I tried to talk about something interesting and it's completely ignored. On the plus side, they do seem to be talking about systemic racism, even if they don't quite realize ...

I don't know how it is on the other side of the Channel, but apparently here it has become quite usual for common soldiers to not be paid for one or several months, forcing them to get into debts just to continue to feed their families. A situation which began with the previous, right-wing governme...

Whee! Quickly approaching 4 months of unemployment!

Now, why won't someone give me a fucking job?

Jesus, that's horrifying.

When you said 30% of people's experiences was a nonstop drunk horror show, how much of that is trufax versus comedic exaggeration? Also, darksi, have you never heard of Mai Lai, Abu Ghraib, or even the war in the Pacific during WWII? The taking of human body parts as trophies is not an uncommon phen...

It's not racist, because you have diverse black Africans, Arabs, Bedouins, Persians, Turks, Indians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Filipinos, and a host of other people who are Muslims. It is certainly denigrating for no real reason, though.

Oh fuck.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

After I started coming here, I realized that me going to TEO was something I did more out of habit rather than something I actually liked. So, my use of the board strongly tapered off and basically stopped. I just visited (didn't log on, just went there) and visited parting shots since I saw it upda...

I take it that Baks has ended the board RPG, given the total lack of activity for, like, a week.

I wasn't even involved in GIFGate! King Adam has gone too far! We must Occupy New Testingstan!

So, why am I no longer a mod? D:

As the car is long gone and the hookah bar probably won't be open bright and early, Joaquin decides to head to the local diner to get something to eat tonight. He'll eat breakfast tonight.

MC Chris What songs? Shit, his set went on for an hour and a half because he kept doing encores. He kept asking us if the show was over. Of course, we kept saying no. :D Anyway, in non-chronological order, there was Wiid, Emo Party, Tasty Face, Fett's Vette, The Tussin, White Kids Love Hip Hop (a m...

Saw Richie Branson, Powerglove, and MC Chris last night with my wife. It was a fucking awesome show, but now I have what I hope is minor but temporary hearing loss in my right ear and a super-hoarse throat.

(by the by, does Joaquin get the make, model, and plate numbers off the car?)

(ah, si, senor)

Joaquin eyed the car driving through his neighborhood carefully, being sure to get the plate, make, and model. No one drives less than 5 above the speed limit here, so this pendejo was very out of the ordinary. He certainly couldn't call the cops on these assholes, but he'd keep an eye on them for n...
