TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Why not just make hamburgers, then? No idea.
Allomancy she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 so... Who's going to make the topic?
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I am tired and should probably head to bed. But...if I wait here in the computer room until James is out of the shower, he will almost certainly come in and give me backscritches.
Seonid he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Mrs. Voidus and I are 6 approaching 7 years together and pregnant with our first child. I see your disgustingly adorable and raise you a facebook post of an ultrasound. My wife and I are 3 years married, 10 years since our first date. I don't have a (recent) ultrasound, but I can see both disgustingly adorable and ultrasounds and raise you a toddler just beginning to figure out how awesome books are 1
Zathoth Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Stormlight (and kinda Warbreaker and Elantris) are the only Brandon covers I like from America. For everything else, it seems like every other country gets way better ones. I like the Mistborn covers too... ok, looking at the british era 1 Mistborn covers I like the american ones better. And after reading through the random stuffs: I raise you all forever alones with "Doesnt understand romance and once googled "What is the point of romantic relationships"" and still doesnt understand it. Kaymyth I still support your husbanding choices. Goooo Laaaaaark! And Twi it seems like a witch or something cursed where you live with stupidity and you are the only one who is immune to the curse... Edited January 15, 2016 by Morzathoth

I don't have a (recent) ultrasound, but I can see both disgustingly adorable and ultrasounds and raise you a toddler just beginning to figure out how awesome books are Well you win for now... But I'm pretty sure that any of our children will start reading in utero so it won't be long.
Seonid he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Well you win for now... But I'm pretty sure that any of our children will start reading in utero so it won't be long. You're probably right. I will happily concede. After all, there's enough awesomeness to go around.
Mestiv he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Hmm me and my GF are engaged for something like 7 months, we are together for about 6 years... and we have a bunch of cats. I wonder if cute cats beat cute toddlers or cute ultrasounds
Kestrel she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 No, she just decided to go gluten free. She buys some gluten-y stuff for the rest of us, but meals are gluten free. She says she's felt better since she started....but I tend to think its all psychosomatic. She never once demonstrated a gluten sensitivity in all the 26 years I knew her, until she'd been gluten free for a while, so it's probably just the confirmation bias. And some of the gluten free stuff she's made is delicious, like shepherds pies inside potato skins. The meatloaf, though.... That's completely scientifically wrong, there's proven to be no difference in a gluten diet compared to a gluten free unless you have gluten sensitivity.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 That's completely scientifically wrong, there's proven to be no difference in a gluten diet compared to a gluten free unless you have gluten sensitivity. And you think that would matter to her? She believes vaccines cause autism, for Harmony's sake. 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 And you think that would matter to her? She believes vaccines cause autism, for Harmony's sake. There are very few things that are guaranteed to make me angry. That viewpoint is one of them.
Kobold King he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Ah, that magical moment when you realize that your new paradigm of instantaneous interstellar travel renders the very concept of strategic locations obsolete, thus causing you to rethink the map of the cosmos you've been putting together in your head. 1
Stormgate he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Interplanetary war is complicated in the way that you can be flanked from above. Sci-fi stuff (I'm looking at you Star Wars) tends to ignore that, instead going for dogfighting. But can you blame them? Just thinking about it makes my internal simulator break down.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 There are very few things that are guaranteed to make me angry. That viewpoint is one of them. Yeah, it's rage-inducing on a number of levels. First off is the fact that kids can get seriously ill or die from these diseases that they were previously vaccinated against, meaning those deaths were very much preventable. And then there's the vaccinate-versus-autism angle: You're literally saying that you would rather your child become seriously ill or die than be on the autism spectrum. Don't open unless you want to be angry: Seriously, it's pretty offensive, especially because I know there are people on the spectrum here. For a while, she suspected I had Aspergers, which she thought I got from the first round of infant vaccines. See, I had a pretty severe allergic reaction to the first two rounds, so she skipped the last one. Although I think she made the right choice there—because I was obviously allergic to some of the ingredients and exposing me to them one more time couldn't have been a good idea—she went on to believe that those first two rounds gave me Aspergers, and that if she had approved the last round, I would have been "severely autistic." Translation: "You are broken, just like every other child on the autism spectrum. We need to get rid of vaccines so that those children won't be broken anymore." I don't think I have Aspergers anymore. I did for a while, because I had trouble socially….but I looked at the symptoms in another light, and I fit precious few of them.
Mestiv he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 But... but... Vaccines couldn't make anyone autistic in any way. It was proven, that the person that wrote the paper that caused this whole notion of "vaccines cause autism" was forging his research data...

It was proven, that the person that wrote the paper that caused this whole notion of "vaccines cause autism" was forging his research data... You're forgetting: Pretty lady on television said it's true. Her books were published too. How could it be false? I think you're also forgetting how...not bright...many people are. 1
Mestiv he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 All right, time to change the subject! Have you ever heard a porcupine? I haven't until now... and they sound amazing!!! https://www.facebook.com/ThisandThatt/videos/10201747439226897/
Edgedancer he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 All right, time to change the subject! Have you ever heard a porcupine? I haven't until now... and they sound amazing!!! https://www.facebook.com/ThisandThatt/videos/10201747439226897/ Oh yes, those are quite funny. In german we cale them Stachelschwein, which translates pretty much into "sting/thorn pig."
DreamEternal Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Ah, that magical moment when you realize that your new paradigm of instantaneous interstellar travel renders the very concept of strategic locations obsolete, thus causing you to rethink the map of the cosmos you've been putting together in your head. Hah, that sounds fun . In my writing, the magic sistem I made makes strategic locations more valuable, so I don't have such trouble. Also, remember that trying to write half-realistic space warfare or anything in far-future sci-fi will inevitably get so complex and alien you may become unable to actualy write without softening things up. I don't write science fiction myself because I'd inevitably write into it advanced AIs and transhumanism, and if I went too far into the future I'd get a post-singularity mess that pre-singularity language lacks the finesse to explain.

I don't think I have Aspergers anymore. I did for a while, because I had trouble socially….but I looked at the symptoms in another light, and I fit precious few of them. "Funny" story: a friend of my sister-in-law was bragging about how much more she knew then health professionals because of her motherly instinct, so not vaccinating her children and taking them throughout south America was the best thing to be done. (This was on Facebook, for clarification). I told her she was a terrible and abusive mother (told you this subject angers me). So my sister-in-law complains to my brother that I was rude to which he replied, "Well, he was right, though". Thus, attracting all the outage to himself. As far as the spoilered part: There's a huge difference between a bonafide medical concern and being an idiot. In the first case, you can point out, say, an allergic reaction and consult with the doctor. In either event, a trained professional is involved. As far as claims of being on the autism spectrum: my instinct is to ask whether that diagnosis was made by a professional or if it was just a Wikipedia informed statement. Your mother falls in the latter group: she has no qualifications to make any of her statements, but does so because she feels the world should make sense to her. Any way, time to listen to a porcupine
