I don't know if there is such a thing is long-term happiness. I think it's likely there is only what we feel at any given instance in time - I think that human beings forget that they are still creatures who inhabit the moment, no matter their ability to think temporally. But if people do want...

1: I've followed the rules and made some posts that don't suck, or are readable in any case. 2: Not monetarily. I'll probably continue to post things i feel are useful contributions when I feel like it, as per usual. I will likely never be involved enough to become a mod, and honestly it...

I definitely forget if I've broached this issue before in this thread, but what do you guys think is an ideal length for a post in a forum roleplay? Or more generally, and as I write this I realize more to my point, what is necessary to make a long term forum-based roleplay fun and successful...

Neither, but on a moment-to-moment basis this doesn't bother me or hinder me from feeling happy or alive. Sometimes I do feel down and confused about who I am and how I appear to other people, and that discomfort lasts for varying periods of time, but what adolescent/human being hasn't felt that...

I have a white (polar?) bear appropriately dubbed Sleepy Bear. He used to be white, anyway - years of sleep-drool and general wear-and-tear have rendered him something more along the lines of a deep grayish-brown. I really threw/swung him around a lot when I was younger, and tore up/thinned his...

Tabasco sauce. If there is a bottle within reach I will be shaking it liberally onto my food before I am aware what I'm doing. I also like sriracha, malt vinegar, cholula, A1, and most other sauces comprised of peppers and/or vinegar.

There are multiple ways for new species to arise, the most common of which (I believe) is something along the lines of a group/colony migrating to a new environment, and then eventually producing surviving children that are so radically different from their predecessors that they are unable to...

Who knew that PC was such a hub for casual eugenists? :o I kind of really wish this thread was in Other Chat so we could have a for real debate, but whatever.

Upon reflection I find the answer is actually no, which surprises me. Because I have had dreams* about certain teachers/adult authority figures in my life before, and I have found/do find some of them objectively attractive/fascinating/what-have-you. But I don't think I've ever had a full-blown...

It should be legal if it is between consenting adults, bottom line. I understand that the issue becomes muddled morally when you consider the tendency of some incestuous relationships to develop out of pedophilic ones, and whether or not consent is truly consent if it is an attitude that has...

An annoyance of Spearows. :) my name is kind of a bird too so it's like perfect for this game. Also, a lamentation of swans really? All I can find on google is people debating over whether or not it is an actual term and the title of a trashy fantasy-romance novel.

Some people like to discuss large, repercussive developments in the world, aka global news. A major earthquake which takes a large human toll and causes massive property destruction and general distress is a Large Development. "Here's a good way to donate if you're interested..." "I think the...

Texted "HAITI" to 90999 and donated ten bucks, apparently. If anyone else is looking for a quick way to feel like they're helping out a little this is very convenient and I recommend you do it. Now all there is to do is sit and feel bummed out and flick off CNN every time I see Anderson...

I'd like you to go up to the people who spend every day in war zones and areas of civil unrest, living in near-perpetual fear for their lives, and tell them how stimulating and exciting you find violence and chaos to be. "HEY GUYS, WANNA START A RIOT? IT'LL BE SOOOO BADASS!" I can just barely...

A little tome titled Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City, which I stole from my younger sister (pfffah target demographics mean nothing to me >:D). Besides having a kicky name, it is chock-full of espionage tips, tween feminism and cool NYC history facts. So, basically better than the average...
