Nowhere did I ever suggest to grope, Nor anyone since I started posting here. I say touch on the arm, try and hold her hand. "Touch her arm?" "Escalate slowly?" "Well it's been three minutes since I bumped her and she slapped me so I'll bet I can go for third base now!" You vastly overestimate our reading comprehension and common sense, Donnie.

Recently have been getting back into anime, which was mainly due to the fact that I saw "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". And then I saw the movie version with a friend, because jesus that was amazing. Then I went and watched Steins;Gate and what is now my guilty pleasure- the To Aru series. I also watched Sword Art Online recently but it ended up disappointing me. Anyone have any good series with unpleasant surprises that will satisfy my masochistic love of being made sad by cartoons? Basically I want the same type of gut punches Madoka gave out like candy.

[hide]I feel like I've ran into a wall with one of the students at my karate studio. He's a rank away from green belt (which is an assistant instructor and thus requires excellent discipline and technique because you're a leader amongst the students and such), but he has less discipline than most white belts. I can't say I'm not entirely to blame for that because neither the head instructor nor myself have been enable to teach him discipline, and that's about 70% of our job. However, he cannot proceed any further until he gains it. And when I say undisciplined I mean if I turn my back on him to help another student in class, he'll immediately stop working. He knows the etchniques but will do them sloppily if not reminded to keep them crisp and slow them down every few minutes. My point is: I don't know how to get through to him. I can't spend entire classes on him alone because other students need help and managing as well, but unless something changes he's going to stay his current rank until his parents take him out of our studio. So, what do I do? I've tried all of the teaching techniques I know on him. Leading by example, using punishment (pushups), using positive reinforcement, using maintained attention and patience to help him sort through mistakes, etc. But the moment I turn away he'll start fooling around again. It's just insanely frustrating to be failing this fundamentally at instructing a student. [/hide] ...This post is kind of rambling and rant-y, and arguably better suited for a different thread so I'll put it in hide tags.

The new Youtube layout. I CAN'T DEAL WITH CHANGE ON MY INTERNET IT BURNS.

Well i don't know about everyone else, but I'm a Nigerian prince who has been wrongly deprived of his inheritance. As a matter of fact, I have a business proposal for you, señor.

^Oh ye gods. OT: Spent half an hour just walking around my college campus listening to music, and it was incredibly refreshing. People need to go for strolls more, I think.

^The relationship thread will have plenty to say to that, and most of it won't be good.

...what? Well that's a new one to me. EDIT: She could make some serious dough out of that. Apparently there are lots of men out there with pretty.... unusual tastes. Wait, so women can actually have 2 vaginas? How does that work? I'm kind of afraid to google it because I already accidentally discovered what vaginal prolapse* was earlier this week and I don't need any more nightmares. *For the love of god if you're wondering what this is just enter this into Wikipedia or a dictionary and don't image search it. Use your brain.

But why would you want to minimize all of your windows quickly and at a moment's notice? Oh right, porn.

Never forget, never forgive. We are Legion!!11 No, no, you got it all wrong. It's: 9gag legion. Never le forgive, Never le forget. Lol, thanks for reminding me of 9fag. :mad: hoho I am internet comedic legend! I think they prefer "le 9fag".

Like this post if you like breathing. Ignore it if you're a neo-nazi communist slavekeeper who keeps children as slaves, sexual partners, and soldiers; are a mysogynist; like wasps; have genital warts; dislike America; smell like fetid cheese; beat up homeless people; and are a total wimp with no life.

A friend of mine is making "shards of glass muffins" and posted pictures of them. Should I revive our tired old joke about this by eating one?

Not going to claim to be an expert here as I'm in my first college semester of Macroeconomics, but: You want just enough to prevent natural monopolies from being dicks and unneeded monopolies from forming, along with making sure essential industries such as farms produce reliably. Not much more than that though because government intervention causes waste. ^^General answer that doesn't address the hardest question: "Where do you draw that line?" But as a freshman in Business Management I don't know nearly enough to try to answer that. :sad: I guess I'm really just repeating what Alg said.

Donnie, I'd also like to question something: If, say, Cuba got some insane new leader who had 0 common sense and attacked us with their army, would you nuke Cuba? Because: You'd be commiting genocide on all Cubans because they got stuck with a crazy [wagon] dictator. I don't see how you can justify that. The fallout would cause extreme sickness in the Southern US. To actually kill the invading army you would have to nuke your own land. This is adding on to the points of sees and obfuscator of course. You're basically saying that if the US stopped interacting with the world in general we'd never have to worry about some crazy tossing a nuke at us. Unless you want to start nuking every country that looks at us funny, in which case you're committing mass genocide regularly just because you're too cheap to use weapons that are less blindly destructive than nukes.

"Nuke all enemies" is not an acceptable method of handling defence. A nuke obliterates everything in its blast radius, and poisons the ecosystem surrounding it for decades. A large barrage of nukes could render an entire country uninhabitable. Do you honestly believe that if China were to attack us we would be justified in the genocidal slaughter of billions of human beings? Say that China attacks India. Would you nuke them then? They've taken over India and are massing arms. How about now? They've taken Japan. Well? Their warships are cutting off our sea trade and preventing us from trading. Any ships they catch are confiscated. Will you nuke them? They invade Mexico. Shall we nuke? Canada falls. Is it time? When do you draw the line? At what moment does it become permissable to obliterate an entire people? And this isn't even getting into the small stuff, like dealing with pirates and protecting ambassadors. I'm not addressing the rest of the stuff right now, but to say that a country does not require a military is dangerously nieve.

Booze Ro Dah?

For every vote that Romney gets because "Obsama is a terrorist", there'll be one for Obama because "Romeny is KKK". I like to hope that all the stupid will cancel itself out. Also: The first New Hampshire town to vote came out as a tie 5-5 (it had a population of 10).

Discussing furries in a college class is always fun, because there're people who are shocked and disgusted that something so weird could exist on the internet. How little they know.

And then once it's out your gum is irritated and you feel like it's still there for ages.... :wall:

I love drunk TiFers. They have the best posts.

Fun fact: Your brain can not create completely original content in a dream. You've seen that girl before, even if only a flicker of her in a crowd. This makes the dream I had in 10th grade in which I was an Indian woman being gang-raped in a stereotypically poor village even more confusing and disturbing than it was before. And that dream was already disturbing and uncomfortable on at least 20 different levels. OT and considerably less screwed up: I actually didn't dress up for Halloween, and ended up teaching class during it, with only 1 kid showing up per class. One-on-one lessons are a lot of fun though, so I can't complain too much.

Skipping English 102 because I procrastinated the homework, with the intention of doing it now. Instead I log into TiF to talk about how much I love it when a fictional work gives you a character that you can't help but like, puts them in a paradise/ makes them really powerful, and then rips them apart in front of you and makes you stare at their mangled and twisted remains. Especially if at the end they subtly make it obvious that this mistake/trap that they walked into had already ensnared them when you first saw them. So apparently I'm both a procrastinator AND a masochist. Okay. Going to try to finish that assignment now.

Guys, guys! That's like responding to being slapped by hitting the person over the head with a landmine. The game's about slow build-up in depravity, because I don't want to go and reveal just how screwed up I am only to find out she had no idea what she was getting into. That'd be mean. And the reason I used to use lesbians was because the last girl I had this contest with was a bisexual who was also in denial, so every time she saw breasts it was a reminder that she was hiding that. Also, if my opponent thinks that all she needs to freak me out is softcore guy on guy stuff, then I'm not going to fling dead babies at her. At least not at first. Think of this like a game of hot hands. You don't start off hitting as hard as you can, but slowly work your way up.

Just got into a contest with a female friend to see who can handle more graphic images, with her sending me increasingly lewd guy on guy stuff and me countering with girl on girl and random weird images. The weirdest part? This isn't the first time a girl and I have had this contest, and it was a different girl the last time. Yeah, I've really got nothing to say to make this any better. I don't think I should be allowed on the internet.

How old are you? If you're in highschool or before highscool, don't sweat it. I was convinced I was going to be a paleontologist for most of my youth, and now I've gone almost the exact opposite direction. If you're in college it's still not too huge of a deal. Try a bunch of different Gen Ed courses and if you find one that's fun try more advanced versions until you see a career path or realize you hate it. If you're in your 30's it's a mid-life crisis and you'll get over it. ...I still do this when I'm sure I'm alone. It's funny, because I think a lot more people do it than will admit it. Or at least a lot of people I know have admitted to it. Confession: I am currently playing a Facebook game with 4 seperate accounts at once using four seperate internet browsers (Opera, Chrome, Firefox, and IE9). Is there a word for this mental disorder?
