A girl just talked to me of her own free will. Guys, does this mean she wants the D?

...Are you the one who impregnated my daughter and the skipped town a while ago? Because if so we have unfinished business, boy. In other news, I'm so exhausted that my knuckles are aching. I didn't even know that happenned. And I can't even buy a coffee for several more hours.

Could be worse. Could be chimpanzees or dolphins. Chimpanzees and dolphins may be well-endowed and prone to rape, but they don't have corkscrew peters. If a dolphin gets you you'll have a lot of bleeding and probably won't be able to sit for a few weeks. A duck would permanently remove your ability to defecate.

I boost my SMV artificially by lying about it and getting people to buy stocks in it. The only problem is the the sex-police (way less fun than it sounds) are after me now for sexual fraud.

The funny thing is that ducks are one of the many species of animals that exibit homosexual tendencies. Even ignoring his fallacies and misunderstanding of evolution and history, he's still dead wrong. Although I definitely would not want to be enslaved by a duck. Those things treat rape like we treat making gadgets.

^We all have something we'd buy if we were made of money. Here's mine: http://www.mysticcloakandtailor.com/cart2/shop.html

Just got asked to do martial arts demonstrations for a group of ~60 cub scouts, probably for free because I didn't remember to ask for money until after I'd agreed. Should be fun anyways, though. And good practice as well. Also, assuming I don't botch the demonstration, it should be a good advertisement for the studio so I guess it's profitable indirectly. I'm also working on a short story and actually having success with it for once. It's a nice feeling.

"Hey, prove to me in 5 words that you aren't a government agent sent to shut me up." It shows your political awareness and importance, while also forcing her to qualify herself. Flawless. OT: Met a cute girl who was as inetrested in Medieval armor as me, then later saw her with her boyfriend. Oops. It doesn't help that like 50% of my University is Japanese and I'm one of the few nerds on Earth who doesn't find Japanese people particularly attractive.

^Nice. How much will it cost you? Edit: Saving that for the correct thread. Considering doing a double major of English and Business Management: Business for my career goals and English for honing my writing ability. However, my school requires English majors to take 4 semesters of foreign language, which I cannot stand (I'm just terrible at learning new languages). Now considering whether to minor in English or to just use all of my electives on it.

I saw him more as a young, caucasian Bruce Lee after he beat up that home invader. EDIT: @Shiny, your second ever post is the highest quality post I have ever seen come out of these boards. It has filled me with optimism for how far this forum may go.

I get obsessive over hobbies and projects extremely easily. Sometimes it's good, since a bit of obsession can finish a project quickly and on schedule. But most of the time it makes me have bad priorities and over-extend myself. This also applies to fictional works, with me becoming more obsessive as the quality increases. I've been thinking of the same bloody book series for over a month now and I'm just unable to move on because it hasn't finished. Argh.

^That sounds like a convenient answer. Too convenient. You're with the Feds, aren't you? Well tell your Area 51 buddies that are wire tapping this conversation that I know. And I will stop at nothing to expose you.

Furah, your computer is hallucinating. Edit: Damn your quickdraw, Tyler.

I actually just wrote a research paper on Zezima and Runescape in general, now that I think of it. Using Tip.it articles as sources was what reminded me to come post here again.

^Who got the 2gp?

Is cracking your knuckles particularly harmful long term? Because over the apst few months I got into the habit of cracking them somehow, and now I'm doing it 2-3 times a day.

^I think everyone here can share that feeling. I hate it when people who consider themselves "Martial Artists*" seem to ignore half of what martial arts are. The physical end is important, but you can't forget the mental aspects like not avoiding fights, trying to remain modest, and being respectful to everyone. And the creative and artistic side as well. If katas are like tracing another person's drawing, then making your own set of techniques up is like freehand drawing. It doesn't mean you'll neccessarily excell at those aspects of the martial arts, but you should definitely at least give them a try. *Many of these are also reasons why "practical martial arts" and the like annoy me. I don't deny that karate (as it is taught at studios) is really inefficient at teaching you how to fight well, but the solution to that problem is to offer intensive classes for the most driven students, not to cut out the side lessons of the martial arts entirely.

Liking MLP: That's cool, I'm not going to judge because I have my own guilty pleasures. Rubbing MLP into everyone's face constantly, referencing it in every possible discussion, and trying to crossover it with every other series ever? In that case burn it with fire and follow Langzor's example. Everyone has things they like that are probably not popular amongst their demographic. You don't hear me posting about "A Certain Scientific Railgun" every five minutes, claiming persecution against us whenever someone dislikes the show, or redrawing Marvel characters so that they're middleschoolers. And if I did any of that, I'd limit it to forums made for that fandom. People who overkill their liking of a show so much that they start shoving it down the throats of everyone else are exactly what make people hate the show. The logic is "If the people who watch this cartoon are THAT [bleep]ing annoying, then obviously I wouldn't like the show." Your tastes in TV are like your underwear: Choose what you're comfortable with and like, but please don't shove them in my face unless you're really sure I'm into that. And don't try to force me to try out yours either, it's not cool.

^I saw a guy walk out of the bathroom without washing his hands at my senior prom. I was incredibly tempted to tell his date this. Didn't though because I was renting the suit and bruises suck. Also, doing peer review with English majors who think they're God's gift to writing. Yes, I get that you're a decent writer, but that doesn't mean that you're stuff is flawless or that my critiques are direct insults to you. And flat out telling someone to stop arguing a point because you disagree with it isn't peer review, it's being a close-minded idiot.

Got my first Math exam back, and got a 117% on it. College <3. ...Although I still have no idea how I did that well, judging that I left the exam feeling like I'd failed miserably. I'll just chalk it up as a Christmas miracle come early I guess. And then I accidentally punched a guy in the face, because ~10 years in the martial arts have given me incredible control over my body and I'm totally not still a klutz.

I'd say image in general, but there're of course exceptions. If it's a music video with terrible audio and awesome visuals it'll still be unwatchable.

Riku, your childhood story reminds me of how I made out with a girl on a waterbed when I was six*. Why are children such pimps? *Last time I had any success with women for a full decade. OT: I accidentally snapped a Coco Chanel bracelet my mom managed to get for ~1/10th its true value in half. Being a 12 year old I taped it back together with scotch tape and figured that would be enough. She disagreed.

I'd volunteer to contribute but so far I only have "yeah don't do what I did" stories. Like "don't fall into the trap of co-dependence", "don't say yes to a relationship unless you're sure you mean it", or "don't ask out girls who have daddy issues". I used to meditate back when I took Kenpo karate as a gradeschooler, but stopped when I changed styles. I'll try it! I've been giving too little attention to the spiritual aspects of the martial arts lately anyways so this'd probably do me a lot of good.

But no-one saying we shouldn't give advice on how to ask people out, flirting, or any of that. The point is that if a person says "I like x girl, what do I do?" the best advice is to tell him to ask her out. No matter how smooth you are, most girls won't take the initiative with dating. You can try to talk a poster into getting over their fear and asking them out, but online that's pretty hard because everyone responds differently. A person like me can be driven into something very easily by just being told he's being a coward because I have a prideful streak and I'll be annoyed into cooperating. But another person will just be discouraged by that same aggression. However a take on advice that would work on a person like that would likely do little to encourage me or a third person who has their own set of reactions. Also I'm pretty sure getting over your fear is something you have to get the strength for from within. Everyone has that strength, it's just some people require more insentive or prodding than others.

Martial arts instructor, but that's not a job you can just get thrown at you unless your parents paid your way through a decade of karate classes. First look for any job you can get. As a 16 year old with no past job experience, barely anyone will hire you. However after you've held that job for a while and proven yourself to be reliable and hardworking you can use that on your resume to move up to a better job. If there are any factories in your area, try those as well. They're hard work, but also decent pay and not too picky about who they hire (may be 18+ though, in which case it may be something you switch to later). Alternatively, buy a lotto ticket after throwing salt over your shoulder and confiscating some rabbit's paw.
