If I were to make fun of myself in that post, it would be because I used a period where I should have put a question mark.
In all seriousness, I do see a distinction, hence, why I like one and not the other. But others might not see the distinction.
I use plexing.
I think it’s pretty dumb that a bunch of adults who enjoy Star Wars as much as we do, even going so far as to watch that which is geared towards children (i.e. the Ewok movies, CW 2003, TCW 2008, Rebels) feel justified in making fun of a guy for watching MLP. I mean, it’s not at all interesting to me. I can’t imagine watching MLP in my free time. Still, why fault someone else for it.
I will confess, I thoroughly enjoy watching Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cartoons. I seldom get the chance to watch them, but I could easily sit down and enjoy them without my kids. And I enjoy using DVD authoring software to make pretty DVDs of such cartoons for my kids.
Please make fun of me.
Unfortunately, it has begun. It’s that time of year again where I’m forced by my parents yet again to endure another miserable season of swim team competition. The first real practice I attended was two nights ago, and I spent the entire time thinking about just how easy it would be to get back in my car and drive off a bridge, or overdose on heart medication to induce a heart attack.
I’m a senior in high school, and if I could make it through this year, I’m done for good. I only have a few more months of this shit. Trouble is, I don’t think I can do it. I legitimately would rather kill myself tonight that put up with this again. I know that sounds pathetic, because I’m pathetic.
I’ve been a part of various swim teams for about a decade now, and I’ve hated it the whole time.
The entire world of athletics disgusts me. It’s a toxic environment full of obnoxious, cruel people. I’ve said for years that I want no part of it. My father, of course, thinks I’m just an edgy, spiteful bastard, and maybe I am, but I’m just so damn tired. It’s not like I have hardly any reasons to live anyway.
Anyway, that’s my long, incoherent, derisory tirade of the night.
You know, I genuinely worry about your self-loathing. You don’t have to hate yourself just because you feel pressured to be someone else. I’m sure your parents love you, but you also have to be who you are, and if they are good parents, they will continue to love you exactly as you are.
I genuinely like you, DE. I even swipe texted it and corrected all errors in order to convince you ☺️
I guess it’s a little early for Christmas, so figure we could all celebrate Life Day! That’s only 16 days away (November 17 for those who couldn’t figure it out)! I have been in touch with MichaelGonnJinn, and he has agreed to show his 70mm (remember, he upconverted) widescreen copy of The Star Wars Holiday Special. It’s free, but you’ll have to sell your Star Wars collectibles for $$ so you can fly out to Neosho Falls, Kansas, where I will be projecting it on a 42 foot screen on November 17 at 5:30 pm!
See you in Kansas, and may the Wookiees be with you!
Well, now that Halloween’s over, it’s that very special time when we celebrate…CHRISTMAS!!!

How about a thread about stabbing pet roosters?
Since Frink jogged my memory, what do you guys think about a current events thread separate from Politics? Or did we have one that died a slow death and I missed it?
Died a fairly sudden death, actually
JEDIT: yhwx found it quicker than I did.
To be honest I’ve never liked the running F bomb joke. Yeah, I know it’s usually not meant seriously by the dropper or taken seriously by the recipient. I still look at a post more than once trying to figure that out though.
To new folks it must be like walking into a strange bar and hearing a lot of rough talk and deciding to find a nicer watering hole in a better neighborhood.This place needs to be a lot more friendly looking. Less Road House and more Cheers.
But nobody here knows my name.
The thread is a statement. See thread title.
?
Oh, hai question mark.
I worry about this a lot in this thread lately, if only on a relatively minor scale.
I’m not crazy. I’m very considerate of other people.
That is not craziness. Antisocial people are anything but crazy. They lack empathy, and may even be considerate as they display this lack of empathy. I’m not trying to say you are antisocial, but some of what you describe makes me wonder if you feel you have such traits. It could be worth getting some therapy if you feel you fit the mold.
Nearly two years ago, I took a break from this site. I actually did a pretty good job staying away. At the time, my busy life was getting in the way and my interest in participating had faded.
Over the past few months, I’ve slowly allowed myself to post more until I feel it has returned to the time-wasting point it was in the past. I love it here, but life has not slowed down for me over the past several years. Indeed, it has only gotten more and more stressful and busy. The time I spend on here is therapeutic, but unfortunately, I have a hard time preventing cathartic participation from turning into addiction. I need to take another break. I appreciate all the fun and discussion.
Cheer up, guys…
WRONG PICTURE!
And not true. I’m not disappearing…just going into lurker mode. I find I have better self-control when I don’t post and hope for responses. I’ll rear my ugly head from time to time and will probably resume more frequent posting at some point in the future. In the meantime, see you around, guys. 😃
I’m slipping a bit already. Recommitted.
