Future Update Discussions
I've also heard (not sure if true) that the dungeoneering task set would not provide an overworld item reward, but potentially an item for in-dungeon use. Which makes the most sense, as nothing goes in or out of a dungeon (not counting numerous glitches).

Personality Disorder Test
Yes, I do. And those that aren't, aren't associated with personality disorders (which is what this test claims to identify with), but with mood disorders. (Not to say answering yes to them means you have that disorder.) And the phrasing of "Have you EVER" really weakens this test. Most people have done something once or twice, that doesn't mean they are high in the personality trait/disorder associated with that behavior. Also, the clinical level of obsessive compulsive disorder is something most people cannot imagine. Even if they do imagine it, the actual disorder is far worse than that. EDIT: I'm not trying to take the fun out of taking a random personality quiz, I'm just trying to make sure no one takes it seriously or thinks there is something wrong with them and they should get a psych evaluation ASAP.

Personality Disorder Test
Which is why I say its full of crap. Those are NOT symptoms of personality disorders, they are traits of personality types.

Personality Disorder Test
I scored low in every category. But this test, like every other test on the internet, is full of crap. Don't think you have a disorder just because you match all the symptoms. There is a degree of severity involved in diagnosis, as well as whether it interferes with your life.

16 - Mar - 2012 - Bonus XP Weekend
Picked up 70 farming plus set up another half-hearted tree run (didn't do all patches, nor top trees, just used what I had in bank). Also crafted ~170 air battlestaffs and got a crafting level. Still at 2.6 multiplier (I think). Am I missing something, or is the current multiplier not displayed this time? Not really aiming to get much done this weekend, just pick up a few levels here and there. I'm finishing college in May, may have time to actually play a little more seriously and prep for a huge Herblore gain next bxp weekend.

16 - Mar - 2012 - Bonus XP Weekend
Got 66-69 farming on first run, may do another run this sometime this weekend, but didn't have time to prep it right now. Will get 70 farm next log in, two of my fruit trees weren't fully grown.

KONY 2012
If you investigate further, you'll find that information does not tell the whole truth either. Take finances, for example. Clicking the link to the financial report and actually reading it shows that although only 32% went to "direct services" a large portion of income went to operating the organization (not including salaries). Direct services was also the single largest expenditure for the organization. That being said, I am no longer sure where I stand on this issue. I am going to research further.

KONY 2012
From what I understand, the products "marketed" with this campaign are posters, stickers, buttons, and t-shirts to raise awareness of the campaign. Except for maybe the t-shirts, it seems completely different from the (red) campaign.

What should I do?
So, I know a lot of people don't like this type of thread, but I thought I would try. Basically, my stats are in my sig. I've done every quest except All Fired Up. I have around 15 mil in cash, probably a little over 22 mil if I liquidated some of my things. What do you think I should do currently in my Runescape life? Open to all suggestions. If you have questions regarding what I have/haven't done, ask them. Thanks!

Though proselyte didn't get updated as intended, judging by initiate it'll be quite pretty. Also, the icon for proselyte DID get updated in the POH, so... :P

I lol'd at my rare and super-rare items today. The super rare was a dragon chain. The normal rare? A dragon plate. :P

Facebook parenting for the troubled teen
I like to think of this as teaching that there are consequences to your actions. If I could afford it, I'd have done the same thing. One thing I think really gets people on this is that he used a gun. In a lot of places, using a gun is some "mighty act" done only by police and crazy people. Around where he's from, as well as around here, that's just not the case. Guns are used for recreation. I hunt, my family hunts, and when we're out hunting, we're not opposed to some recreational shooting of various objects. Also, I think he provides not only an adequate punishment, but compliments it with an incentive: "You can have a new laptop, but you're going to earn it this time." I really respect this guy. Kids often end up far too spoiled these days; I know this first hand from my own siblings who are much younger than me. Yes, this is a shocking act, but I think it makes its point quite elegantly.

login server offline
I don't know your problem, but its not only your problem. I can't log in to mine either at the moment, getting the same error. It might be that the specific server that a section of accounts are stored on is down, but I don't really know.

This "free trial"
Now that you mention it, I suppose not. :P I haven't created an account in... ummm.... 5+ years so I forgot that email addresses are actually important now.

Did you use the same email as your other (member?) account(s)?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
woah woah woah dude. people don't agree with you and you're calling them less open-minded and bias? sheesh. I'm single. I'm "open minded". Let's discuss while I'm ultimately pro-monogamy [even though I advocate open relationships for those who feel it is apropriate] Why is that? Because all people are individuals. We're all the different. And because we're all different, you will never have the same relationship twice [even with the same two people involved]. To place a "standard" on a relationship is asinine. How you act and feel in a relationship is completely dependent on the people involved and their interpretation on what they feel is right for their conjoined situation. Do I need a monogamous relationship to be "truly happy" ? I don't really think so. I'm fairly happy at the moment just hooking up with girls and doing whatever. I'm not thrilled about it, but I'm not like depressed or anything. I'm just taking it for what it is and having fun. Cause life is pointless without fun and you can only play the hand that's dealt to you. I agree with you - emotional states change. But you imply it as if it acts as a switch from "honeymoon relationship" to "boredom" to "single". It's not like that. People change every second. Every thought they think, every experience they encounter at every living moment - it changes you. And it all adds up. Yeah; some day I want to get married. I want to have 2 sons and a daughter. I want to name my first son after my grandfather. I want to live in a suburb. I want to wake up, put on a tie, drink some shitty coffee and watch my wife make breakfast for my kids. And if you don't understand the satisfaction that brings a man, I doubt you understand manhood at all. =D>

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I really dislike psychoanalytic therapy. Some of the techniques are useful. Done well, it can be good for delving in to a patient, but notions of an id, ego, and superego are absurd. This is not me saying I want to be a psychiatrist who medicalizes every psychiatric disorder and prescribes pills like they are candy, but pure psychotherapy is just... in my opinion... not correct. Also, this is waaaay off topic. We should either start a different topic, bring it to PM, or talk about how Freud was obsessed with [male genitalia] and how obsession with our mothers influences the way we handle ourselves in our relationships now.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
As another psych major ( :P ), I view Freud as pretty... crazy. I've been studying him in two of my classes currently, and while he may have some good ideas, they have all been taken far to the extreme. Overall, I have a very strong bias against Freud.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I guess I'll start by asking-- whether or not you like the article, do you think what the article said is true? No, I don't. I think he did a survey study asking men what they thought about cheating -- if they've cheated, why they cheated, etc. and then came up with conclusions based on that information. His conclusions don't follow. He made up explanations for his findings. I think it's bad science. The more I reread it, the more I am convinced that this is bad (and misogynistic) science. I'm okay with someone having an open relationship. But it sure as heck should be a mutual agreement. Don't lie and cheat on someone you want to remain emotionally intimate with. Part of that emotional intimacy is always knowing what's what with your partner. IF (and that sure as heck is a big if) I ever wanted to have sex with someone other than my partner, I would most certainly ask her. If I couldn't convince her, or she was not okay with it, and that was what I was looking for, then she wouldn't be the partner for me. Also, jealousy. It happens, and not because of cultural taboo. Open relationships often end badly because someone ends up jealous.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I can tell you why I didn't like the article. It essentially said, men cheat, so get over it women and you wouldn't feel so bad when it happens.
