  • Neat!! If I start playing it I'll message you :D
  • I see a few coming outta the woodwork! Haha ;D
  • Cool! Message me your Summoner name if you'd like to play together, I can give you some tips :smile:
  • As in Twisted Treeline? I'm horrible at that map. XD
  • I have been told my eyes are pretty, although people seem to think they're blue (they're green).
  • Sad but true :(
  • Why is everyone acting as if this is some sort of heartbreaking revelation? Of course nothing we do matters. :tongue: However, that isn't going to stop me from losing this weight. Because I may be an insignificant speck in the universe... But I am going to be a DAMN FINE speck.
  • The crazy thing is, there is absolutely nothing detailing a bipartisan government in the Constitution. It barely even implies political parties at all. That was something that was created, evolved, and perfected into what it is today because we have a "winner-take-all" system of elections. No one gets a say for coming in…
  • If you want to talk about shoes and cheeseburgers make a shoes and cheeseburgers thread. No one is stopping you.
  • I didn't say I'm tired of politics. Please actually read posts before you hit "reply". I think politics is a fascinating thing to study. However, it is extremely depressing that any 'change' that happens not only takes years -- even decades -- of fighting to implement, and even then is usually not implemented to the…
  • I feel like the more I know about politics, the more frustrated I get... so I wouldn't consider being "in the know" to be a very good thing. :tongue:
  • ^This, although I believe the "joke" he was getting at was that liberals are (by idealistic definition) the most "tolerant" of others' ideas.
  • I try not to think of anyone's views / opinions as 'wrong', for that reason. Of course I hold my own views, and they are going to be in disagreement with those of other people. But I think that if people started looking for the common ground instead of nitpicking at the ways we're different, we'd be better off. Plus I hate…
  • It hasn't been happening, and for way longer than Obama too. As guilty as I may be for hating W. Bush as a person back in the day, at least I respected him on some level because he was the President, and didn't get into that office by accident. But most Democrats didn't view it that way -- they were literally counting down…
  • I agree 100%, but the question I'm trying to get at is WHY it has evolved into such a cruel and vitriolic language. It's not a recent evolution, either, at least in the United States -- even at the Constitutional Convention, the framers of our nation spewed hate-filled insults back and forth. I guess it is just very…
  • I am SUCH a camera *kitten*, and even moreso now that I am losing weight :tongue: But posing in front of cheese is now officially my new goal for when I hit my goal weight. :laugh:
  • The latter, hands-down. I wouldn't trade the high of an emotionally-charged relationship for anything, ever, including the length of my own life. Though, if I could handle being Forever Alone, it would be pretty cool to watch the world evolve.
  • All the big stores now put out Christmas toys and decorations starting in September (yep, it's officially eclipsed Halloween) Soon enough "Christmas in July" will be a real thing, and there will be 2 Christmases. The entire year will be spent in 2 6-month cycles of retail madness. The nightmare!! D: :tongue:
  • I preface a lot of things with "I'm not trying to sound mean, but..." But the thing is, I am actually not trying to sound mean. I HATE being criticized on anything (unless I specifically ask for it), so when I am in a position of having to criticize -- usually only at work -- I try my absolute hardest to do it…
  • When I take walks / jogs / do the elliptical, for some reason my favorite album to do this to is Final Straw by Snow Patrol. It's just pretty chill and I can zone out. I also like to walk to classical movie soundtracks, cuz I'm a nerd like that. (Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia) When I do in-home workouts, I use…
  • This. Back in 2009 when I first legitimately "tried" to lose weight (I put it in quotes because really, I didn't change my eating habits much except to simply eat less, and there was no exercise attempts at all), I dropped more than 30 pounds in a month. From there, I lost and gained the same 20-25 pounds about 3 times,…
  • :laugh: Best reply so far!
  • Rollerblading! I need to get a new pair, now that I live in a superflat subdivision with nice sidewalks again.
  • I breathe with my diaphragm. Does that count as "real"? :tongue:
  • I just read a tip online -- if you have avocados that are ripe (aka soft to the touch before you cut into them) but you don't need to use them yet, put them in the fridge. They will keep for a few days there without beginning to rot. Personally I just try not to use more avocado than I need at one time; the unfortunate…
    in Avocado? Comment by Ramberta April 2013
  • An Amish person on the webbernetz? You must be experiencing Rumspringa.
  • At the State level, yes. But if it is taken to the Supreme Court and ruled unconstitutional (because the national laws still say it's illegal), it will be invalid. I'm talking about legalization on a national level.
  • QFT! But then again, I'm a goddamned socialist commie hippie. Or something. Because I actually have the nerve to want to help my fellow man, even if that means paying my hard-earned taxes (out of a minimum wage paycheck) to do so.
  • Pot will never be legal for 2 reasons: a) As much as hippies cry out that it will "be good for the economy", it makes FAR more money as a criminalized substance than it ever would legal, even if they taxed the hell out of it b) Legalizing marijuana would admit that the "War on Drugs" was a failure... and the government can…
  • I've not been to Harrisburg, but I used to attend Westminster College which is about an hour north of Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania is a gorgeous state, and the Amish culture is one I was not familiar with until I lived in that area. That being said... prepare for the weather to change at any given moment. ANY given moment. I…
