It’ll be 44 here on Sunday, metric folks.

Yup. Supposed to be 111 here in Tucson on Sunday.

I don’t think he was saying it’s happening but was equating the premise of this thread with someone doing that.

On an unrelated note where did Trident and KillerQueen go?

This.

I have no idea if it’s happening here, but it’s certainly something that happens in internet communities.

Damn you Smithers, I’m still working on this stupid thesis.

I’m just hypothesizing. Anything is possible here on the internet.

Maybe she’s black/Hispanic/gay and is worried that us white folk will soon be underrepresented?

Miles Morales isn’t gay to my knowledge.

But yeah, god forbid any black/Hispanic/gay kids grow up with a natural sense of self intact.

Promises, Promises - Naked Eyes

Damn this song is good. It’s one of those songs I can remember loving the sound and feel of ever since I was little, with its funky bassline and guitar with hints of disco undertones, covered in a rich 80s synth shell. As I’ve grown up it’s also pretty amazing lyrically.

Speaking of synths:

Peep this 80s redo of a Justin Bieber jam. It’s an improvement!

HELLO

Is it me you’re looking for?

Why didn’t I think of that. Damn it.

I mean, who even cares if women are posting or not. I don’t concern myself with the gender of everyone who posts here, and I don’t think it’s crossed the mind of most people here either.

Exactly.

Everyone here is just words. Unless you’re a computer.

HELLO

Hrm. It’s supposed to say “HELLO WORLD”

I’ll have to check the program later…

If we improve diversity, we may have more people who post on this forum, and therefore a greater wealth of ideas.

We don’t want this place to become a sausage fest.

I think it’s a bit late for “become”.

Obviously anyone who is blowing up female posters inboxes with creepy stuff shouldn’t do so, but I feel like saying we “have” to encourage certain people to post is a bit odd as well.

It better not have onions or anchovies.

If it’s free I don’t care.

Doesn’t it kinda defeat the purpose when we’re trying?

Shouldn’t it be up to them to post or not?

If you have to convince, you’re already losing.

I’ll have it if he doesn’t want it.

It’s very important when you’re writing stuff to show your therapist that you catch yourself in the moment when it’s at its worst, that way they can accurately understand how you’re being affected and how you feel in the moment and all of that.

I think that’s the most frustrating part. I can stand back and look at it and not feel that way when I’m more lucid, but then when I’m not so much, it’s like the frightening stuff above.

Definitely. Everything is different in the light of morning. You’ll even look back with some shame (which is natural, but not necessary) and may even downplay it unintentionally, which means that the therapist isn’t getting the full picture, so having a record of “you at your worst” is often very helpful.

Also, maybe you should get into writing movie reviews? Your posts in the review thread are always interesting and well-written with what seems like a decent amount of insight. Just a random thought.

Hell, I’ve wanted to do that for years! Hell, it’s something my family have all repeatedly. I hope I’m not being arrogant when I say that I can do it pretty well. But every asshole with a blog wants to now, and every pro I’ve asked has to me that it’s not the kind of thing I’m likely to get paid for nowadays.

Well definitely doing it as a hobby can’t be a bad idea. There has to be some way to make it work. I don’t think it’s arrogant at all, you have the eye for reviews in my opinion.

Those pros are probably just afraid you’ll take their job. ;D

Now the head can asplode.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

I’ve developed a real appreciation for the King of Pop over the past few months. Some of his songs are just incredible. It’s a shame that pop music today isn’t held to this high standard.

Edit:

Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa (Soul Sonic Force) Whatever you think about rap, Afrika Bambaataa is undeniably an influence on all modern music. The dude brought Kraftwerk to America for crying out loud.

They probably get chased away by creepy PMs.

Now we all know about you, yhwx.

Or should I say… John?!

I think I’m missing the joke here.

Just imagine if your name had actually been John, though.

Duracell (he? – Sorry, I don’t like to make assumptions)

I am male. Hear me meow.

Good to know, but I’d like to know how many members of this forum are women and girls. It seems like it is very male-predominant.

Well, I mean we are in the deeper side of the internet. Here be monsters.

I feel like that means you go in expecting the film to suck, but it’s actually awesome.

I hope you’re writing this down to show the therapist!

Hang in there, buddy. It’ll get easier as time and work go on.
