Now ya just fronting a dumb good slapdash, na' mean?

EDIT: Wow. Great research. Good points too!

Ain't nuttin' wrong with New York.

^ This is possibly the most New Yorkish post I've ever read.

Here's some more (spoiler tag for length):

Welcome! I should remind you of the 17S policy against double posting. (The moderators here are like fullborn librarians: Super powerful and prone to getting grumpy when you break the rules.)

I appreciate your honesty and opinion. But permit me to offer another view on the matter. (Please note that this is in no way a personal attack, merely a stating of my opinion. This is not all in response to you specifically, your comments just got me started thinking about some things.) In my opinion, expecting people with mental illnesses, or different mental health, to act the same as you is wrong. Everything is situational. In a different context, someone with a mental illness might be acting so called normal, and you might be the odd one out. For an example, people with autism are more likely to have a better memory. If you were in a situation where your memory was being tested (say in a maze) then you'd be the one who would be judged to be inferior. People would ask, why can't that guy solve a simple maze? It's so annoying that they won't act the same as all the other people who are solving it easily. Context matters in other ways too. Take Winston Churchill. A great leader in war time, but once it was over the people voted him out. Why? Because people thrive in different situations. You could be a logical, left-side-of-the-brain kind of person and do really well in math. But in another field, the people with art skills will be considered superior. So context matters,even for those without mental illnesses. Now back to the plane idea. If someone is on a plane, acting in a way that I inconveniences dozens of people, are they wrong to be doing so? Well, the rules of the plane probably say that you can't be acting out of line. They probably have the legal right to act in a manner which expresses themselves, to a point. Depending on the case, they might not even be capable of forming the mens rea of the act to commit a crime. Religiously, most people would agree that people are of equal value in the eyes of God, and should be treated with kindness. Philosophically, you could say they breach the principles of utilitarianism. But it gets tricky when dealing with natural law. On that point, where does this kind of thinking lead us? On a small scale, you'd support the reduction of the freedoms of people for the good of society. (John Locke would certainly argue that the government should take away certain freedoms to provide benefit to all the people Eg. Take away the right to kill, and in return you can't be killed). But when you reduce the freedoms of specific people this thinking gets more dangerous. Why do you have the right to apply rules that discriminate against small groups of people who are different from you? Because you're superior? That just brings us back to the context thing. And even if you did have the right to impose your will selectively, where does it stop? People with mental illnesses make plane travel uncomfortable, so you bar them from planes. Then you bar them from social settings because they could annoy you there too. Then you decide to do away with them altogether because they don't provide enough to society. But wait! Old people can be annoying and burdensome too. Why not kill them? And people of different religions cause too much tension... We keep going like this until you get a Holocaust or genocide. It's a fine line to tread. A line that seems inconsequential when you're in charge and on top of the social ladder, but when the tables are turned due to context, people tend to have a change of heart. So should the person have stifled their outbursts? Maybe. It would be more socially acceptable to do so. However, entering that mindset is a dangerous. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but I'd rather make a stand now than once the bombs start dropping. TL:DR Context matters, conformity is bad, discrimination is a dangerous mindset.

Tattoo, eh? If you're interested in art, the gallery is full of cool stuff. Anyways, welcome to the party! What's your favourite book?

1001 posts divided by 87 days = an average of 11.5 posts a day. And I thought I had Shard addiction problems How to you think cosmere characters maintain good oral hygiene? What's your favourite song to play? How do you solve a problem like Maria? In the play Macbeth, why didn't Banquo's son, Fleance, become king after Macbeth dies, thus fulfilling the third prophesy? And finally, what do you think of my espoused theory on the Hoed? (see link in my sig)

Welcome! Make sure to request a copy of Aether of Night, the unpublished manuscript. A great 'book' to feed your Sanderson addiction. Happy reading!

Welcome to the family Bridge 4.0! @Stormblessed Dolphin will be by momentarily to accept your oaths

Math Molly reminded him that his work is force multiplied by distance.

Quesadilla is a pain to spell. I'm going to destroy it. Butt found the quesadilla in his pocket. Approaching it from behind with soft footsteps, he sneakily attacked with poison gas! It was silent, but deadly.

@Nerd3.14159265358979 Looks good. I've added you to the list.

The next next word was extraneous. Butt was hesitant to mention it because it was the irrelevant in the room. ex·tra·ne·ous ikˈstrānēəs/ adjective adjective: extraneous irrelevant or unrelated to the subject being dealt with.

That awkward moment when you leave for half a day, then come back to too many posts to read... Suggestions (that I can remember): - discord bot - some kind of recording group (guild that keeps track of money) - spreadsheet - website to keep track of it all

Remind me never to go trick-or-treating at your house...

How I always thought the opening should look like: Darkness.... BOOOOM!!!!! Dramatic drumming while liebrarians scream war chants. Three-second glimpse of a chaotic scene, liebrarians in a mosh pit or something Weird wobbling of the scene sends us back to darkness... Short glimpse of struggling Alcatraz Darkness... Dinosaurs rampaging Darkness... Alcatraz sitting behind a microphone in a studio, reading off a script (war cries still blasting along with the music) Alcatraz looks up, surprised. Looking directly at the camera he says 'Oops'. Camera screen shatters and everything goes crazy. Flying penguins. Laser blasting liebrarians. Sing falling down a flight of stairs. Then back to the sacrificial mosh pit. The music's volume lowers a bit, and Alcatraz begins speaking "So there I was...." As he does the voiceover, camera pulls out, waaaaay out, going into the clouds to flash the title. The view then drops back to Earth to follow a car driving down a typical suburban road, headed for Alcatraz's current home...

...after 27 years.

Hello! New members are always welcome. Jehoiada stole my question, so I'll ask you @Skipwhat characters from Brandon’s books would you most like to have on your curling team?

Yo! Welcome! What's your favourite word Brandon has made up?

Welcome! Good question. I do not know the answer offhand. Good resources to use would be the q and a section of the shard: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/81-cosmere-qa/ And the collection of Brandon's words (from interviews, recordings, q and A's etc.) called the Arcanum: https://wob.coppermind.net Edit: you might be able to calculate it based on the time it takes Vin to fall off it during her training session, if you guess what her mass is with the belt, use acceleration due to gravity etc. It would only be useful if it's mentioned how long it took. You'd have to check the book. If all that doesn't work, peter ahlstrom is your man. I'm pretty sure he's the guy that keeps everything Brandon writes scientific. He tends to know more of these kind of details, so you could try emailing him with your question.

It turns out he was allergic to pineapples this whole time.
