Some people might be. Some people might have issues that can't be fixed by mere willpower. Since you know your friend, you are in a position to better evaluate his situation, so you could be right? Who knows? But extrapolating from a few people you know to make blanket statements about...

How far should the spacing between holes be? I see some that are really close and some that are far. Why is that? And should I do drugs before bowling? Will my aim be better?

So what's the proper way to judge finger holes on a bowling ball? I am never sure of how to fit my hand for maximum proficiency.

I actually did get diagnosed with Generalized Depression Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder and was on meds for some time until it stabilized. Therapy also helped; part of my problem was that I felt trapped and very unhappy in life and I had developed some really unhealthy/ineffective...

ROFL: My most recent FB post, from about an hour ago: ... poetic justice? ---- Oh btw: ... sigh, i bet I just scared off another lurker, didn't I?

With something this right, how could it be so wrong? ---- I'll be honest, my Trek credentials expired sometime in the 90's when I gave up on the TV franchise portion (I've only seen a bit of DSN and Voyager and none of Enterprise, although I saw every TNG episode out there + old series as...

MELLON (and next time throw yourself in, you fool of a took, and save us all some trouble)

wth.... a serious discussion breaking out in random thoughts? Go figure. Some things can be powered through. Actual mental illness, not really... although unfortunately with the proliferation on online tests and people looking to explain their own behavior, folks are too free with diagnoses...

Man, I really need a good psycho right now.

don't force us to hide in Skype again, like dogs cowering behind dumpster fires....

Dammit. I'm just too good for this thread.

Dammit. Someone is just not trying hard enough, and I can't follow the rules alone. This isn't working. We're not all team players here. Fuck this, cheese. I'm not gonna bail on this boat if everyone else is having a water fight with garden hoses! :D That almost deserves its own thread.

So is Cheese more of a cheese with a smooth slick cheddary tangue, or a crumbly stinky bouquet like gorgonzola, or some sleek smooth spread-on creamy texture? Or maybe just kind of hard and pointy like a mixed bag of romano and non-powdered parmesan?

I can't say this is much better than having an actual discourse about random stuff in the thread. yeah, kinda like if someone spontaneously combusts outside while playing soccer, you don't smell much at all, but damn if they go up while sitting in your bathroom!

Why are cats so neurotic? Sometimes when I walk into a room, he will flip out and tear away like the dogs of hell are on his tail. What did he see? I keep my true form hidden, so it couldn't be that. It's not even like he is being bad; he just feels neurotically guilty and runs off to hide. the...

Who was the first nutjob who stuck candles in a christmas tree so as to adorn it with light? And did his house burn down? Were they white candles? And how do you make colored candles? Why am I thinking about candles? I am so candle-less.

Experiment: Climb up a telephone pole and sing Christmas carols. Would anyone stop to listen? Would they call the police? Would they set the pole on fire and sing while you crisp? Would bird land on you as you were perched atop the pole? Must get someone to try this for me.

I often wonder whether baboon butts are blue because they are really cold from not wearing pants. Do baboons ever imagine pants and what it would feel like to wear them?

goddam coherent chat throughlines. goddam 'em to hell. solution: moah drugs! ----- Fine. Let's give this a shot.

We shall eat them all, washed down by the tears of tuneless child carolers too naughty to receive presents on Christmas morn.

Drink more! If you drink enough, it might spin you the whole way around and make you sober again!

I bet that is just a piece of bent styrofoam someone painted gray. ROCKSUS you are such a POSER.

Yeah, I know you would have torched them. I'm a 5 type. I'm really self-controlled and over-rationalize as my first response, try to detach; when I let myself have a natural emotional response without trying to control it, I realized how awful the whole thing was. I like being able to maintain...

Heheh They don't even let us change usernames here.

The great news is that you can be just like me RIGHT NOW!!

It's minimalist/REGEX speech defining what to exclude -- you're not supposed to focus on what they are saying, the really intelligent and interesting stuff is what they are not saying!

I don't even have any great adultery stories. I'm vanilla-lame. I had one overt chance to cheat during my marriage, while unhappy, and I expressly chose not to do so, regardless. When we finally separated, since it wasn't something "time would fix," I made it clear I considered it the end and...

It's kind of hard to reach orbit if you're not willing to break the 110mph speed barrier.

Surely there is something juicier than that. ... although I've been trying to think of something bad from me, and I just don't have much crazy stuff on my record anymore. About the most evil stuff I've done recently is bitch about my team lead in private because they're incompetent at their...

I had totally forgotten about that. We definitely do like our periodic drama here. I am still not even sure who Jesin was, aside from the name. But I guess I said that in 2010 too. (or is that DARTH Jesin?)

is that a hershey's kiss?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBt-nirXQDE I came from an intense Christian cultural background and generally also liked to control perceptions people had of me so I had avoided using overtly colorful spoken language. When I started participating a lot online about ten years ago, my friends...

yes! It has been a long long time since i have seen it so I do not remember many details at this point (aside from the ending) -- Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, and Christopher Reeve before he was paralyzed. I have been planning to rewatch it for years but just never got around to it; yet...

Yes, it felt a little different going into it cold. It was definitely a "cool" movie in terms of emotional heat -- the emotions for me were triggered mainly by the slow burn of watch them trying to escape their fate over time and slowly watching hope crumble. I felt like I knew Kathy very well...

Was there something you didn't like about it? it was a little slow in spots (I've never read the book), but the acting was good, there was pathos, and there's already ambiguity over property ownership with the advent of new medical procedures in today's world. It has a bit of an unsettling...

If members can't change their names normally, maybe you can then use temporary forced name changes as a way to punish members who break the rules, versus just banning them so that we can never be graced by their presence again.* CRIME..................................PUNISHMENT NAME Too...

I have seen Never Let Me Go; yes, I wouldn't call it "traumatizing" in terms of impact on audience, but it is a heavy movie, I hurt after watching it. it really makes you think and has some relevancy to today's world. (I have to get around to Dancer in the Dark, but I've seen a number of von...

I was co-valedictorian of my high school class and had close to a 4.0 if not. (I don't remember.) College sucked, I even flunked a 300-level statistics course and I think walked out with only a 3.25 average by the end. --- The further you get past high school and the more professional...

They're obstinate bastards. For all you obstinate bastards: If we have to burn in the flames of hell, at least let us take giant slabs of bacon with us to cook over the open flames!

There are just four accepted fundamental interactions in the universe, but bacon would be the fifth if the purists would only give in.

The Neon Demon ended up being little more than a glossed-up piece of shit. Just when I thought it might have something provocative to say, it went off the deep end and became unpalatable. Elle Fanning was well-cast. Keanu Reeves sucks. It's truly a spectacle of style over substance but I...

http://www.giga.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/shutterstock_183568112-kotzsmiley-rcm325x181.jpg sorry. Must have been something I ate, err, read.

I really liked the concept (and it starred Alice Eve, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Cherry Jones -- more great plusses), but it felt a little overworked. The very end was kind of amusing. The thing is, we are not far from there already. Social approval is not tied to our financial credit rating...

Black Mirror is overall pretty great. Highly recommended. It deals with the impact of technology on human lives and how it can be disruptive / monstrous despite its benefits, and its best episodes are haunting. (My favorite episodes are probably "The Entire History of You," "White Bear," the...

I wish they had been able to run Rogue One to an R rating, although obviously in that franchise that was not going to happen. Not necessarily for sex (because there wasn't any) nor graphic violence (although there was a lot of death and mayhem), but simply because it might have been even...

Yeah, that was what I heard as well, he wasn't nearly that dumb in the books. Some of the characters just did not fare as well on screen -- Ellaria from what I understand was more reasonable in the books, and Dorne didn't get such the shaft? Good god. Well, it doesn't shock me. Joffrey was a...

Tywin was damned crafty and competent (I really wanted to see him and Olenna either go truly head to head OR gang up on someone); but his flaw was that he underestimated his bastard son. (There's still that pesky rumor about Tyrion's lineage. I guess we shall soon find out.)

"Come and See" seemed to have pretty decent reviews. I'll be adding that and "Evolution" to my view list. Saw Rogue One today. Can't say it was mentally traumatizing, especially since we have a good idea how it ends ahead of time. But damn, is it bittersweet... and the Alliance actually is...

Yeah, Olenna is absolutely awesome. ;) Diana Rigg was gorgeous in her day too, and she's a crafty old bird even now, she has a lot of fun with that role. You're right about Joffrey, heh. Sometimes being a pompous little asshat has its benefits, and poor Tommen was the right king at the wrong...
