Stop over-analyzing the situation and go play.
See what you like and don't like. Communicate--just like any other relationship, and adjust accordingly (or leave).
It's no big deal; have fun, enjoy life.

Also, ignore the social norms and traditions about these matters. They're for idiots.

Self-development? Sure. Just the other day I saw a homeless guy on the street and explained how if I gave him any of my money I would be doing a disservice to the market economy. Then I told him "get a fucking job, you bum."

Great work! If the market failed him and the government failed him, then ...

It's interesting how fast he responded to that accusation. I've noticed a couple times that when something particularly sensitive is said there's someone lurking with a ready quip on the other end of his account. It seems like someone is monitoring what's being said here even when no one is ...

Why do you not consume chocolate?

The process of creating dairy products is inherently violent and cruel. The life of a dairy cow is a misery and does not justify having a tasty treat.

There's non-dairy dark chocolate, but honestly I don't like it much.

If the chocolate milk came from cows ...

I've been doing pretty well! Learning a lot, writing a lot; that's how it goes these days.


I take it y'all have been self-developing too, right? Riiight???




[ALSO, if there's some past debate that you wish to bring up, I'll be glad to re-assess your claims].

To explain my case, the Problem of the Great CC Decline will be reiterated:
1. Membership has been falling because CC members allocate more/all their leisure time to other online games of similar enough characteristics.
2. The similar characteristics are: online, active games, war/strategy theme ...

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I've already came.

1. China has attacked and provoked the navies of several countries--PHI, JPN, US, etc., within the South China Seas arena.
2. China is strongly pushing to exert ownership over those 'rocks and reefs'.
3. About 1/3 of global trade and half of petroleum trade goes through that area, so it's easy to ...

As multicultural as Europeans like to sell themselves, they're a pretty bigoted lot when it comes to Islam.

I'd setup an LLC called "GFY 100%," raise my salary to $400,000/second, and then declare bankruptcy on the 2nd second.

I need some advice on the next Xbox game I should play. I'm limited to the following:

Fallout 3 (and then Fallout New Vegas)
Skyrim
Mass Effect (the entire series)

I've played just the "escape from the tunnel" missions in Fallout 3. I've played a lot of Skyrim, but havent finished. I've completed ...

Conceiving of the world through the lens based on the quantity of issues is somewhat similar to conceiving of success on the soccer pitch through “work rate,” which is how much a player contributes by running and defending during a match when they do not have possession of the ball. A high work ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem#.22Moral.22_oughts

Is there any valid way of establishing a moral goal that ought to be achieved, or are people who subscribe to a system of morals just expressing what they want to see achieved?

Sure. Here's one: don't kill people for stupid ...

I'm not complaining. I'm just stating some explanations which you don't want to address, I make a note of it, and then you respond with negativity. I think it's pretty important to note the backlash against mrswdk when the "backlashers" are possibly insincere weak hearts. How much money/resources do ...

Here's the true but vague answer: some aspects of one's life are deterministic, while other aspects are left to one's free will. It's on some spectrum, and the dichotomy is likely insufficient to explain the range of outcomes from human behavior (due to problems of measurement and definition). So ...

Oh, my. Looks like I've wet myself. Whatever shall we do??"

Only in France would that work as a pick-up line.

A priori pick-up lines are difficult to universalize, but substitutes do abound. Repeated interaction helps as well, thus obviating the need for pick-up lines (except for the purpose of ...

But, intersex is way different from transgender. intersex is a physical issue and is a fact of life from birth. Intergender is 100% in the mind and not an issue of birth. Some may say it's in the heart or the soul too. But the point is,there is no way to prove or disprove what your mind truly ...

why have you chosen gardening over comquer club?

It's my convenient role for fucking your mom.

I deem this thread somewhat necessary. Without an introductory sticky thread, new members would have no idea what to do, feel isolated, and then quickly leave. Thank Lord CC for saving the fora!

The point is you seem quite capable of saying that the acid storm would be worse for you, and totally incapable of making the simple empathetic step to reasoning that the acid storm would be worse for everyone who shares the same objective reaction to the acid (i.e. restricting activities to avoid ...
