Either there's a typo here or your aunt doesn't understand how eating works.

For a group that spends a lot of time shitting on Ayn Rand's philosophies, Bean certainly seems to be agreeing with her in that thread. As I mentioned in one of the goddamn sdn threads, between the racism, the sexism, and now this, they've gotten extremely right-wing while publicly touting themselve...

Nah, just large. I have a lot of responsibilities in my job, but I don't run the company.

I resemble that remark.

You could raise questions as to whether the Tea Party was successful at all. They've managed to have a major impact on the political narrative, but it's always been an arm of the Republican party, and these days it seems to be viewed more as a millstone than an asset. A large number of Tea Party can...

Oh god, i forgot the alcoholism. They were big drinkers, and that filtered over to the other units as guys rotated through. I'd rate that as more of a general military thing. In my (limited) experience working jobs in places that served alcohol, soldiers and teachers are two groups that are, on ave...

at least svu had some decent stories though I only saw one episode of SVU. In it, the cops systematically ruined this guy's life by very publicly accusing him of raping multiple underage girls based largely on the say-so of one of his students (the guy was a teacher). They arrest him in the middle ...

so you look at the people with the highest birth rates and see about solving that: promote economic development to reduce the birth rate, pass out condoms, have some sterilization program, or euthanasia. personally when i'm faced with a question i always choose the final solution but whatever float...

Would this be before or after you kick me into lake Michigan? Huh. When I first read Aaron's post, I thought it said he'd kick you in the lake, which I figured was just a Testing-ish way of saying he'd kick you in the nuts because Lake Michigan looks like a penis. Turns out he actually was just thr...

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle it. But you know what? I'm okay with that. When I was applying for colleges years ago, West Point sent me a recruitment brochure. My family laughed because they figured that I would be a really shitty soldier. And I felt no need to try to prove them wrong.

So there have been a lot of accusations of the recent Batman movie being anti-Occupy. I'm thinking it's slightly different on reflection. Think about it. Bane is a foreign mercenary who inspires blind fanatical devotion in his followers. He recruits primarily among the poor and disenfranchised. He i...

oh, also, even more re: schools and maths. If you want to teach math as something beautiful, you first have to realise that schools couldn't teach the appearance of rainbows as something beautiful. When you are forced to do things, in a repetitive and scheduled way, for no reason you can discern, e...

Ran into that while checking to see if there was any more fallout from the morality thread shenanigans. I thought it a notable enough statement to be worth preservation for posterity.

The "enlightened western society" with its democracy and individual freedoms was made possible by technology. Could you have democracy before the printing press? I doubt it; democracy requires widespread public knowledge.

Dibs on playing a dog that was given the ability to talk through some dark ritual.

Barring that, I'll play a lazy stoner who thinks that the dog can talk.

I personally don't have the attention span for play by post. Setting aside a block of time to play in person or over a chat works, but I inevitably lose interest when playing on a message board. There really isn't any flow to the story that way.

The fuck, you guys? I get off work, have some dinner, then go to catch up on the discussion about setting up a Call of Cthulhu game or something, to find that you've all blown your loads all over SDN. Now anything I write will feel like I'm necroing a dead topic. Why do you always save the hilarious...

weirdest thing to me is how he wrote out a big long post responding to baks and at the end just goes on a rant and bans him like what's the point of that, it looks like he just worked himself up so much writing it out and only then decided to ban baks when he finished To me it looks like he's just ...

So what do you do in that RPG, is like a fucked up scooby doo investigation? Usually. Being smart, well-educated, or charismatic is usually better in most scenarios. Focusing on combat stats beyond the basics isn't often useful. Most seasoned players will avoid getting into fights because combat te...

talkin' about mah cthulhu game i think i would split sanity into "sanity", a measure of how much you adhere to the norms of society, which would be linked with a "truth" or "mythos" stat that measures your knowledge of the secret world alongside this one. as one goes u...

Or, much more commonly, (insert drug of choice here) is natural and therefore it is completely harmless.

rabid's post is fine, you just look like you're not reading it closely enough and seem to be interpreting it as a criticism of abortion apparently i was reading it backwards that's what i get for posting when i just wake up Hehe Well, to be fair, in retrospect my sentences were quite poorly constru...

re the circumcision thing are we actually at the point where we're complaining about what is a minority viewpoint on the other board for having a different opinion on what is basically a subjective issue, particularly since, you know, there are statistically-measurable health benefits to circumcisi...

Are you seriously using the word 'griefing' and expecting us to even remotely emphasise with you Maybe griefing means something entirely different to him. When I hear griefing, I think people who play PvP solely to prey on players who can't defend themselves. Like someone in WoW who runs around one...

The best overall military in WWII is the military that WON WWII. That wasn't France, England, Germany, Japan or Russia. It was surprise surprise :america: . lol at thinking that the US's involvement was more vital to the allied victory in WWII than Russia's. Fun fact: About half of all German comba...
