I don't like Oreos, am I weird? we have much tastier cookies in Poland in my opinion.

I didn't mean it in a hunting way. More like you go on a walk outside, see a deer/kangaroo and think 'oh cool, a deer/kangaroo' like it's nice to see one, but doesn't cause that much emotions.

Abortion is legal in following cases: Rape The pregnancy is a threat to mother's life Heavily damaged fetus (like, a child that will not have a brain at birth) They currently want to rule out the third point. They want mothers to give birth to children without brains... to children that will die in agony hours after birth... All because "all life is sacred" and "it's all in God's will" etc. :/

Yeah, it did, but not as big as I hoped :/ They still want to put more restrictions on abortions than there already are, but without putting people in jails. We'll see how it goes, I hope they'll eventually leave the laws about abortions as they are.

Yeah, I can whine about the situation in Poland a bit But I'm curious, did you guys hear about the Black Monday/Black Protest that women in Poland recently did? The grass is greener on the other side of the road... I bet Delightful treats kangaroos just like we treat deers.

I'd say, at least in the General forum, for your vests maybe? Silverblade is known for his pretty cool Pony profile picture.

Three Rings fo' tha Elven-kings under tha sky, Seven fo' tha Dwarf-lordz up in they hallz of stone, Nine fo' Mortal Men doomed ta die, One fo' tha Dark Lord on his stormin' lil' dark throne In tha Land of Mordor where tha Shadows lie. One Rin ta rule dem all, One Rin ta find them, One Rin ta brang dem all n' up in tha darknizz bind them In tha Land of Mordor where tha Shadows lie.

My imagination cannot handle the thought of @Delightful offending/insulting someone on the Shard That's like imagining a new color or new taste...

I like how Haruko used a guitar (or a bass, I don't know) as a weapon in Fooly Cooly and that's all I have to say about guitars

I didn't expect such a strong reaction

9 at the moment. We're going to look for new homes for 5 of them soon.

He's still young, somewhere around 3-4 months

@Arraenae it indeed doesn't look like trying to teach him responsibility. He had full right to refuse showing her pictures on his phone, they are his private thing, she has no right to them :/ I think, judging by the description you provided that it is a good time for your brother to move out, but your mother is approaching it wrong.

Based on my knowledge about USA, it's only a matter of time before one of the clowns gets shot by someone. It's an interesting idea for an advertising campaign, but I think the people hired to wear clown costumes are currently risking their lifes for the job. Now, to not derail the thread any further, I'll give you my photo with Tobiś he likes to sleep with me like this, next to my head ^^

I had the same reaction... What is going on? You have clown infestation? o.O

I've checked it this morning, everything is fine

Being gay as a criterium for scholarship is strange... are they going to make you kiss a guy to check if you really are gay?

But you do have silimatic technology!

I just had a job interview and I think I did well ^^ and I have a job interview in another company tomorrow... If everything goes well maybe I'll have a new job by the end of the month ^^

I'll send a Shade to hug you. You deserve a hight five from a Shade.

That's strange it didn't ever display your name. It should have already recognized you... Try refreshing a page with my signature a couple more times. It's possible that your browser is configured in such way, that my signature forgets you every time you shut it down. Ok, I promised to publish the code responsible for my signature, so here it is. At least, the important part of the code. I'm not going to post server configuration files or anything like that. So, here are the important functions that take part in creation of my signature. get_svg_signature() is the entry point (at the bottom). Lines starting with # are comments I added to make it easier to understand. I will obviously have to modify this code to allow users to turn my signature on and off, but the core functionality will stay the same.

I guess I'm gonna be in minority. @TwiLyghtSansSparkles I think you should go visit them. Make the visit as short as possible, but go. Here's my reasoning behind it. Firstly, the thing about them helping you financially when you moved etc. I think you'd be more at peace with your conscience if you visit them as a way of saying "thank you" for their help. They may be terrible, horrible parents, but they didn't have to help you move away. They are terrible people, but they aren't inherently evil or something. Nasty characters, bad approach to parenting, but after all they did help and tried to take care of you before. (I know Twimom tried her best to discourage you from leaving). Secondly, a very pragmatic thing. If something bad happens to you, you get sick, your apartment gets robbed or burned down etc. they are the people that you should be able to count on. Burning all bridges behind you, separating yourself from them, is a risky move, if you don't have anyone else to count on. Internet friends, friends here on the Shard, are important and can be supportive, but let's be honest, you cannot count on them in case of serious life problems that require material help. (Well, maybe @Kaymyth would be able and willing to help, but still, it's good to have family backup.) Thirdly, do you have any other members of your family, you'd keep in touch with? I don't know what are your relations with your siblings, but if they still leave with your parents, then I guess cutting your parents away would seriously damage your contact with them. I don't want to make any assumptions about other Sharders that advised you to not go, but... How many of them actually don't have any contact with their parents/families and know the consequences of such actions? It's easy to advise cutting Twimom and Twidad from your life when they didn't ever face a situation when they don't have anyone to visit on Christmas. My fiancee had terrible mother. Much, much worse than Twimom, trust me on that. When she was around 10 years old her grandmother took her away from her mother to take care of her. Her father died when she was little. Now, she has only her grandmother. Every time December comes I see how hard it is for her. We visit my family, 20 people at one table, singing carols, opening presents. It always hurts her that she doesn't have her own family. She has her grandmother (she was bad for her at Twimom level more or less) and we visit her obviously, but still. Now I cannot imagine how hard it would be for you Twi to spend Christmas all alone. I don't know you that much, but I know that not many people would be fine with being alone during this period of year. Now, to end my argument I'll just say: family, even if it has huge flaws, is important. It'll sound cheesy, but Christmas is time for forgiveness and I think you (and your parents too) should do your best to spend this time peacefully. Cutting them away is an option every time of the year, why not first check how your relations changed now that you moved away?

@Blaze1616 I don't have anything to add

To be honest I would be able to take a peek at location guesses my program does if I wanted to, but I'm not storing this info anywhere and I have no interest in it. Also as I have mentioned before in this topic and many users can confirm, the location guessing is very inaccurate. I will publish the code behind my signature tomorrow, so it will be 100% clear what it can do. If you have any questions about it I'll be happy to answer and I'll make it voluntary soon.

Yeah, to make everyone feel safer I can release the code behind it, so other programmers can confirm how it works.
