Vox De Harlequin Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I don't understand why you could have a problem with seltzer water. I mean, it is simply water infused with the deadly deadly side effects of respiration! What's not to love. As a side-note, it worries me slightly that the reason for the hate mob in Byte's dream sounds like it would be a plausible one in reality. 'Tis truly a sad time we live in. Also, hello kitty jail.

Any ideas what I could do with this time? I'm wondering if I should take the opportunity to travel, maybe go interrailing, maybe just fly to a country or two. Limited budget, obviously, but I figure at least some lodging costs can be avoided through couch-surfing and maybe even camping (though that would mean I'd have to pack camping gear...) Does anyone here have any experience with cheapo travel, or know any good travel destinations? I'd probably stay within EU borders, but I'm interested in any travel experiences/destinations! The Dalmatian coast is beautiful. I spent a year in Croatia after college and that summer Joss and I and a couple of friends went down and spent a week each in Split/Makarska/Dubrovnik. Not much to do there though except sightsee and sunbathe. Kocken926 1 Quote

See, now you're just making me question all soda. And yes, it kind of does sound like something that could actually happen, now that you mention it. Welcome, always good to have a new voice here.

Walasch Brewing Company of Salt Lake did that--I had their infamous Polygamy Porter ("Why have just one?") in a bottle that was done that way, and it was decidedly wierd in a non-comformational way. Oh, and ONE OF US! ONE OF US! Edited May 6, 2016 by Lethosos Quote
Vox De Harlequin Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Whilst I've never been a fan of the more usual sort, I can only imagine how weird nitrogen sealed beer would taste.

Vox De Harlequin Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah I was kinda disappointed nobody even commented on, what at least I thought was, a bloomin' hilarious joke. EDIT: Nope. Just me being a dumb. Goddamn being awake for too long makes me dumb. On an unrelated note, am I the only one having trouble seeing what I've typed with this pale-pink-on-white text box? It's a bit uncomfortable frankly. Edited May 6, 2016 by Vox De Harlequin Kocken926 1 Quote
Lethosos Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 Mine is light grey on white. I really wish Chaep (or whomever does the website) go diving into the theme files and fix that. Quote
TheBytemaster Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Heh, I just found this again after not hearing it for years. And I realized it could totally be used as a horror game soundtrack: Quote

theprolo Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Any of you guys play the Overwatch beta over the weekend? I thought it was pretty cool, even if it is so similar to Team Fortress Quote
Vox De Harlequin Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Not me. I don't even have access to a proper computer. Also prolo, your title thing sounds so Lewd~ Quote

I never even thought of it that way O.e When the forum software got upgraded one time, and titles were introduced, it set anyone with a high post count to "advanced member" by default. It's kind of a pun on that which I never removed Quote
Vox De Harlequin Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 It is completely that dodgy. But maybe not everyone makes the jump from proto-member to penis quite as easily as me. However now they will. You are welcome. Quote

I mean, I got 59 kills in a round as Tracer, so ended up playing as her wayyy too much out of habit Quote

I'd say the median age of people on these forums is 7 years old judging by the average reading comprehension. I realize this grey-on-white thing leads to a lot of errors, but that doesn't explain why people think off-topic means any topic. I'd recommend visiting the whale box if you want to see the créme de la crème And yes, I realize I'm in a glass house throwing rocks here Quote
Vox De Harlequin Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I've already experienced the whale box, and while it is indeed at times amusing it is more often simply groan worthy. In a bad way. Y'know, I've never understood the sheer ineptitude and thirst for attention required to post like that. Truly, it amazes me that people like that haven't yet simply been hit by a truck of some description while running into the road like the walking lemming stereotypes they are. It is people like that that make me think that intelligently implemented eugenics might really be the best thing for the continued survival of humanity... Of course, I'm of the opinion that eugenics is just generally a good idea. NOTE: This is not me supporting the holocaust or some hist like that, I simply think that whilst quantity is a quality of its own, actual Quality of individual specimens of humanity should be a consideration. Really, if you have a genetic defect that you are almost sure to pass on to your offspring thus making their probably short lives as miserable as your but you still want kids, maybe consider adoption? That was a bit political... and ranty. sorry? EDIT: Also, yeah, what Hitler implemented wasn't eugenics, it was genocide. just to be clear, that no matter what you call something if that thing is something else calling that thing something won't make that thing that thing. unravel that for yourselves.

SMITE THE LOWER CASTS WITH THE FLAMES OF INTELLECTUAL RETRIBUTION! [/paraphrase] Points to consider: Age of the people posting (low), sample size we get from people posting (low) and amount of proof that high intelligence is strictly heritable (low). Even if intelligence is shown to be heritable and eugenics would make sense (which they currently absolutely do not) I'm inclined to treat it like the meat production problem; yes, maybe we could benefit from changing our ways drastically but a lab solution is pretty much around the corner so why bother. Anyways, kitty jail isn't really a platform for these kinds of politics (if any), so chill and/or make a new thread. TheBytemaster 1 Quote
