On Tuesdays Oryx and Triforce think it's Wednesday
Take me to your Raichu's house.
|
I'll applaud anybody who can reference my homosexuality and use a meme from 2006 in the same post.
|
Sooooo people were talking about why they joined PC?
I will admit, it was Pokemon ShinyGold that made me join, but the people that made me stay. :P @Andy That would require me to go search memes from 2006 and that is not something I feel like revisiting. :P |
Oh please. I'm still in school. Boo. :(
|
The only reason I joined PC was because I was desperately in need to find another Pokémon forum to join after getting banned from SPPF, when someone stole my account, and BMGF, when my suicidal thoughts got me into serious trouble.
I've never heard of that meme before, because I never seen it used in youtube, in other forums, and in KYM. |
Heh, I joined for ROM hacking, since my join date doesn't really correspond to a release of sorts by GF.
I'm wanting to get my old join date back (November 21, 2009) but idk what the status quo on that is between Geoff and I. I think he wants me to be certain I'm willing to give up everything but my name and usergroup, and I am. 2009 was my most favorite year aside from 2013. :3 |
You can't just...have them merged? That's what I did when I got my account back...kept the posts from both accounts, the join date from Touj, and the name from Oryx.
|
Does merging accounts affect the user's post counts, friends list, contacts, and emblems he/she received?

I'm pretty sure emblems don't work since emblems afaik aren't a default vB system so the forum doesn't really know how to handle them. ): I could be wrong tho.
Also this title YES |
I wouldn't have bothered merging if the posts weren't carried over. I just wanted my couple hundred (I think?) posts from Oryx on Toujours, that was all.
Already planning my name change in...September though. >:3 |
I joined PC because I had been a victim of mod power abuse at my previous forum plus I needed to chat with people who actually care about my love of Pokemon. In real life I was often mocked for being a Pokemon fan in their 20's.
|
That title is a lie. I'm not out of school yet. >: (
No name changes planned in the future. |
*sigh* I start my summer school session in less than 3 hours.

Anyone who's not out of school should sue their school for cruel and unusual punishment.

Of course that had to change the year I was a senior. |
I have no choice, but to attend summer school since I started in January versus September of 2013 like normal people do. So we're basically playing catch up with them until we're at the same place this September.
|
Yaaay a new DCC! No more double posts. ;w;
I'm not taking school over the summer this year. It's a bit of a long story why I'm not doing anything at all but it's relaxing to have a break for once. My school does full terms three times a year and I've been in school nonstop for 2+ years now... so it's nice to have a term off for the first time in a while. |
Pretty sure my high school, and maybe my middle school? was one of those that didn't get out until sometime in June...I think it was early June, it's been long enough that I don't remember.
At least, up until they started block scheduling, the last year I was there. We got out in May then, hooray! Except the tradeoff was that we started in like early August, like at least two weeks before any other school around there and of course it was during the hottest part of the summer. Why. |
I'll be released around June 20th. But I'll have 2-3 months of vacations so it's all good :D

That's one of the great things about my college. We got out April 13th, about a month before everyone else. Helps a lot when it comes to getting a job before all the other college kids get back, as we get a jump start on the job market.

OH HEY NEW DCC HELLOOOOO.
I've been out of school since May 15. Going back in a couple weeks to finish it off. edit: oh it has a 2nd page wow ok |
Quote:
Oh, and make sure my siblings weren't about to beat each other up again. Yeah. |

o hai new DCC
I've been out of school since May 2nd and working since May 22nd. Yeah, that's my month to date. At least I don't have classes now but I do start two six-week classes in July. |
I don't think I'll be going anywhere this summer, unfortunately. :( My family are planning to visit California for a week to meet and catch up with relatives, but still haven't decided yet. If we don't, then I'll most likely stay at home all day, play games like you guys, and browse Internet.
|
Well, the grades came in.
The good news is that I passed what I absolutely needed to and what I didn't pass I pass enough that I'm still eligible for FAFSA, so I can have some of my full-time pay go towards a Playstation 4 (don't tell my mom, shhh!). Bad news is that I didn't get the requirement that the class I hated the most fulfilled. Still, there are other ways to get it. |

In other news, I am down. I don't know why, but I am. :( |
LOL I wish I could call this place a vacation spot! I guess things just seem different for residents compared to tourists.

I would imagine, i've heard quite a bit of negative about living in San Francisco.
But I vacationed there and in Sacramento seven years ago, for the most part it was a nice time and we didn't run into many issues. |
We also recently had a high-profile shooting in Santa Barbara, despite the fact that we have the strictest gun control in the country.
Eat it, libs. |

My boyfriend's from San Diego so I plan to go back there once he graduates. I'm pretty excited honestly. |
San Diego is probably the city I'd visit in the summertime if I ever took a vacation to California. The weather there is just beyond perfect for me, especially considering it's along the coast and it's a place for me to cool off from all the hot Florida weather.
|
Santa Cruz also has a nice boardwalk, but mind the pot smokers...for...whatever reason.
|
You guys will looooove San Diego. It's an amazing city. Downtown, Little Italy, SEA WORLD. Best city ever. :)
|
San Francisco is also nice to visit every once in a while, but mind the traffic. People are insane.
|
D'aw, this title :( :( I still have school for 3 more full weeks. Oh goodie!
Yaaay, people coming to visit Cali :) Hope you have a nice time! |
My roommate really wants me to move to San Francisco with him. He used to live there, he loves it. I want to leave Ohio..but..y'know..
Fun fact: One of the most searched things on Google in California is Pokemon. |

|
School gets out next week for the public school system in my area.
The San Fran Bay Area is another place I'd also like to visit.. just to see if I can find the locations of all the tech companies lol and to take pictures of the fog at the Golden Gate Bridge |
I don't get out til next week.
And you should definitely move to cali. Middle america is suck. |

Colorado Springs is absolutely beautiful. Amazing cowboy skies with mammoth mountains at your doorstep, not to mention all the military you could ask for. On the benevolent days we get rain, if you're lucky the mist will expose the facade of Cheyenne Mountain, and often times the clouds like to dance with Pikes Peak. The only big downside is it's so dry. :/
|
The Sierra Nevadas are also a great place to visit. Very beautiful in the winter and one of the best places around to go skiing. Really, go anywhere in California and it'll be a nice vacation spot. Except Amador County. Nothing to do there except bowl, watch movies, and hate Republicans because...well...Republicans.

Kelso was the second worst character on That 70's Show.
The worst was Donna. |
I need to watch more That 70s Show I think. If only I wasn't so into Friends atm haha.
(Also is this a summer DCC or a "school is ending" DCC? If that makes sense. ) |

Donna was amazing. So was Kelso. I hated Hide..or whatever his name was. No real reason other than I hate people like him. |
That's 70's Show is the Satan spawn of television for me. :x
|
My parents used to watch That 70s Show when it was still on, and that was back when they thought sitcoms were still tolerable.
|
That 70s Show was great! Kitty and Donna were the best. The guys were kind of annoying, but sitcom men usually are.
*cough* Ray Barone *cough* |
You guys and your sitcoms for entertainment. I use them as sources to know how reality is like, because it's live-action. Doesn't change the fact for me that most sitcoms are mediocre, meaning most people irl, if I view them as how they are portrayed in sitcoms personality-wise, are what's keeping us from being united.
|
Sitcoms are noooooot reality. Not in any sense of the word. They're scripted often two-dimensional characters that are put into funny situations that would rarely happen and given lines that no one in real life would say.
|
You just ruined sitcoms for me :(
The illusion is shattered around me, I don't know what life is anymore |

That's cold. I think life is really exciting if you open your eyes and ears. Then again seeing aphids in the wild (as opposed to on house plants) for the first time two days ago excites me so it's more so a matter of how easily impressed you are.

That said, I don't think any one genre of fiction is more likely to be realistic than any other. |
I dunno, the sitcom Seinfeld and a few anime such as Lucky Star are shows about nothing, just like reality, and yet they're quite popular. So reality isn't so boring after all.

Quote:
Kanzler, fiction in the form of sitcoms and other realistic fiction is designed to pull out the entertaining parts of daily life and ignore the parts that are necessary. If there's no plan for a fun event at work, they don't show you the person at work. They don't waste time with pointless small talk that's irrelevant to the plot of the show because it's not entertaining, not funny, and wastes time. There is no scheduled haircut episode, no regular mowing the lawn clip, no 15 minutes of the characters cleaning up after their children at night. Unless it's relevant to the plot or funny, it's cut. It's not cynical or cold to point out that fictional depictions of reality are designed to cut out everything boring and pump up everything entertaining - it's how the world works. edit: Seinfeld is described as a show about nothing. That doesn't mean the nothing isn't scripted, designed, and edited to be as packed with laughter and amusement as possible, to follow easily understandable plotlines without significantly diverging from them, to be entertaining and not boring like an average person's life if you just followed them around. |
If sitcoms were a reality I have full confidence that the world would be a lot more fun. And if wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak. Unfortunately neither are the case :(
|
And if sitcoms were a reality, then there will be covers of dysfunctional families or lunatics ruining everyone's fun at theme parks, shopping centers, zoos, and other public places all over the news all caused by simplistic conflicts. I do not wish to be part of those problems, and yet I keep getting intrusive thoughts of those events happening whether me and my family go on a day trip to somewhere.
|
If more sitcoms were reality, then even mid-class people with average paying jobs could afford high end apartments and go to coffeehouses/restaurants almost every day like the cast of Seinfield or Friends. That would be nice actually.
|
That reminded me of something, particularly this:
Spoiler:
|
But I do think life is interesting, with interesting dialogue and interesting events.
Oh my god on the topic of simplistic conflicts: Okay so I'm practising doing verbal passages on the subway (which isn't a smart thing to do given how it's noisy and vibrating but bear with me) when I hear this loud obnoxious couple blaring throughout the subway car. I'm trying to concentrate on my passages so I do my best to tune them out but oh well eventually I give in because they're that friggen loud. Turns out that the boyfriend had drawn two penises (one of which I could see) with Sharpie on the girlfriend's leg. So without any consideration to the other patrons (and especially me) they pursue this trivial disagreement to explosive extents - she's saying it's only fair that she gets to draw a penis on his leg, he's just saying no, they're both whining and all this time expletives are inserted between every other word, ♥♥♥♥ing this, ♥♥♥♥ing that etc etc etc jesus christ I don't know what kind of people make a big deal about Sharpie penises but I do know that they should not be ♥♥♥♥ing with my concentration while I'm on the subway and definitely not for fifteen straight minutes. You see, it was out of my consideration for the patrons nearby that I didn't consecutively smash their faces onto a subway pole or any other hard surface I could manage to land their faces on. Ugh. Also they wore really skater-ish clothing and had piercings to high heaven, so for those of you into that kinda fashion and all, these are the people making y'all look bad. Anyways if you're worried about intrusive thoughts, Pinkie-Dawn, it might be a good idea to take a look at Buddhism and their ways of handling unhelpful thoughts. I don't mean to proselytize but they do have really good ways of dealing with thoughts that are truly unhelpful - as in when brooding or worrying about them doesn't do anything. |
In England school doesn't end till mid July :( boo. Our school doesn't finish till the 18th of July anyway.

I did read that often to find the incarnations of the Dalai and Panchen Lamas they consult a lake guardian by the name of Pelden Lhamo, which in some sense is considered a goddess, being one of the Eight Guardians of the Law. I myself have a feeling that that sort of spirit could just be a human that decided not to reincarnate and may be a little crafty at communicating with qi. So I guess I can switch my view of it to keep it atheistic, although some may argue. :P |

Could we please not talk about atheism here? I get really uncomfortable when talking to them, and it's best that I don't know your beliefs, so I could be more comfortable with chatting with you guys. Blame youtube, 4chan, and reddit for this trust issue.

I personally I indentify as Catholic. Really mainly/only cause I've been one all my life and can't see myself atm being anything else.And I can't see how somethings so wonderful weren't made by some sort of god. (And science obviously.) I do understand why some people don't believe in a god/God and respect that. I do think the whole nirvana concept of Buddhism is pretty neat. |

I believe in the all-consuming power of chocolate chip cannolis and deep-fried flautas.

Quote:
I don't think Buddhism is very open to the belief in souls, as that would go against the teaching of "selflessness" in the world. Buddhism, as I interpret it, treats the ego as a fiction, and the soul is a pretty ego-centric concept (think about it, it's a "self" that floats through lives, a consciousness that migrates from this body to another). There is no "you", and "you" will not be reborn as "you" once you die, etc etc. Ugh it can get really confusing so I won't go into any more detail unless you or somebody else asks for it. The tl;dr is that "reincarnation" as we normally think of it (transferring souls) isn't how it's conceptualized in Buddhism. EDIT: And yeah, I don't really "get" Tibetan Buddhism. I don't see how they can reconcile the rebirth of somebody's consciousness who happens to be better than you and gets to rule over a territory with the concept that there is no permanent "self". I see it as a very doctrine-oriented school of Buddhism that happened to be influenced by other deistic ideas over the years. |
Quote:
It's good that I don't have to believe in an invisible man to find my own happiness in regard to things like death that cause a lot of people to cling to religion to begin with. It's a scary thought, but with the idea that you just start over and over again with a larger goal of nirvana at hand, I'm rather content. :3 |

She's overconfident, self-righteous, and arrogant. She treats Eric terribly at times (then again, everyone treats Eric terribly), she takes too much pride in her "independence", she thinks everything men do is inherently oppressive, she approaches any comment on femininity (positive or negative) with open hostility, and she's also a massive hypocrite as evidenced when she gives Eric crap for going out on two dates while they were broken up, yet at that same time she slept with Casey Kelso. She's also not even sexy, despite the show's claims otherwise. Donna is the worst. Quote:
Quote:
Now that I think about it, most of the people on That 70's Show are terrible. The only ones I feel any sympathy towards are Hyde, Fez, and Eric, especially Eric considering he's treated like crap by virtually everyone. I have to admire his will, because if I was put through even half of the crap he has to put up with, I would've gone postal. |
Oh, god, I hated Donna.
Hyde was the ♥♥♥♥ though. Oh, and Red. "Dumbass" |
Quote:
But seriously, I get the points your making. I guess I just like characters when I relate to them..but Donna is awesome. |
I'll just leave this here.
