Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Being an antisocial loner has its perks. You say "anti-social loner" I say "rational autonomous entity." You know, potato patato. 5
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 You say "anti-social loner" I say "rational autonomous entity." You know, potato patato. I like your phrasing. On another note, my mom was stressed about some random silly thing, bossing everyone around and sighing at nothing. I usually make breakfast at home, but when she starts sighing, I know that getting two pans dirty will probably earn me a lecture on "getting the whole kitchen dirty" when there's half a chance we might get a showing today. Starbucks never tastes better than when your blood sugar is low. 3

Kaymyth she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I kinda went waaaaay overboard last Feed your enemies to Relganosh day... I'm not sure if I'll be able to celebrate it when it comes around again! Which is why I need to make some new enemies... Hey, Morzathoth! Your mother wears combat boots! Your mother wears combat boots? Is that supposed to be an insult? I am the Forum Mom, and combat boots are dress attire for me. There is no insult here. In the random stuff III topic I got upvotes because I asked for downvotes. Oops? I've been seeing posts for a Secret Sisters Gift Exchange going around Facebook--spend $10 for a gift for someone else, get gifts from others. I always scrolled right past, hoping no one would send me a link and rope me into it. I prepared my excuses for if this happened. I did not want to get involved. Then, this morning, an acquaintance posted a link to a news story about how the whole thing is a pyramid scheme. Being an antisocial loner has its perks. I saw that one, too, and didn't even read far enough to suss out the pyramid scheme aspect. You chose wisely. I ignore all of that kind of crap on Facebook. I especially hate the emotional manipulation crap that says, "If you reply/repost/do the Hokey Pokey under the pale moonlight on date, then I will know that you caaaaare!" Take the train to Nopesville, kids. 3

Take the train to Nopesville, kids. Yes. My sister recently saw a "if you don't like this post you will get bad luck for however many years and stuff" post. She actually hadn't seen any before, so she spent about five minutes laughing and saying "that's so superstitious" while I just nodded like "how have you not seen this before". She is woefully naive about the internet sometimes. 2

Yes, because Jesus recruited his apostles via a long-running spam message campaign, annoying people until they gave up and started following his teachings. 7

Sounds more like something modern!Peter would propose. "Hey, Jesus, we need to get more people into the Kingdom of God." "Agreed. The harvest is many, but the workers are few, so—" "So I wrote this Facebook post!" "Let me read that. 'If you deny me before men, I will deny you before my Father, so repost this within thirty seconds or…' Oh, Pete." "Hey! Why'd you delete it? It was good!" "You'll thank me later." 7

It's one of those bs "I've proclaimed Jesus once this week, so I can return to being a terrible human being with no eternal consequences!" Jesus might call it being a "white washed tomb" if it wasn't closer to being white trash. 3

Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 That has a nice ring to it Aww I totally forgot about this. RIP He was my favorite writer period for a long time before I started diving into fantasy. Timeline, Sphere, obviously Jurassic Park and Lost World, these are still some of my favorite books. Even his later stuff, (I loved State of Fear) was really good. During that time, he was my favorite author. I had just finished State of Fear and NEXT... When I read that he had died, the bitterness and theme of NEXT made so much more sense to me... Crichton, even if I do not agree with him, had interesting ideas to convey and encouraged intelligent dialogue. The public lost something great that day, and to this day I will remember him from time to time, sigh, and state out loud "I miss Michael Crichton." 2

There is literally no response I can make to those without offending somebody on my FB list. 1
Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 My own sister posts those, and every time, I want to comment, and be like, "WAKE UP," but I can't.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Just finished the Indianola interview! I didn't babble nervously like I did in the Alaska one, and I think it went pretty well. 5
Kobold King he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Holy cow. This theory has done the impossible: it's made me wish for the return of Jar Jar Binks. 6
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Holy cow. This theory has done the impossible: it's made me wish for the return of Jar Jar Binks. I KNOW RIGHT 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Just finished the Indianola interview! I didn't babble nervously like I did in the Alaska one, and I think it went pretty well. See, you are getting more practice with interviews and now they can no longer do anything but acknowledge your awesomeness! 1
Blaze1616 he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Holy cow. This theory has done the impossible: it's made me wish for the return of Jar Jar Binks. I saw that the other day. Personally, I don't like it, but it might be a decent means of turning many of George's mistakes into positives. I'm pretty confident that most of the things that the theory claims are intentional were in fact mistakes, because the movie is just plain bad. Other similar mistakes are made throughout that don't involve Binks, meaning that these are merely removed to make a story. But to each their own, that's what theory crafting is all about! 1
Kobold King he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Oh, and it's my birthday today. Forgot to mention. 11
Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Oh, and it's my birthday today. Forgot to mention. May you smite all of your enemies! 2
Kobold King he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 May you smite all of your enemies! Thanks! We'll do our best. 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Oh, and it's my birthday today. Forgot to mention. Happy Birthday! Wishes that your live may not be ended prematurely because of a meeting with that one eldritch abomination wanting you to pay up on alimonies. Plus the general have a good life deal. 1

Elbereth she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Holy cow. This theory has done the impossible: it's made me wish for the return of Jar Jar Binks. Wow. That's... new.Although, to me Jar Jar was actually redeemed by this comic, which has Star Wars basically as a DnD game, in an AU where there is no Star Wars. It's hilarious.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Happy birthday, Kobold! May you snuggle a hundred pugs, rescue a hundred cats, and convince my phone to stop putting your name all in caps! 3
