I missed you, Nightman. I think we're all pretty good... Archi left and the Tavern's mostly dead. But we have a Steam group now so we can stay in contact if we want to organize something or whatevs. Merry Festivus.

He exceeded the forum's limit on broness.

Planetside 2 Double Exp tiem. Almost makes up for having upgraded my medigun. Upgraded mediguns suck for exp.

Humans have no reason to evolve tougher skin. Everyone survives nowadays, barring bad luck and medical conditions. Lineage is generally an approximation. My father's side of the family is primarily Norwegian, it's hard to be sure exactly what percentage I am.

B) The reason you can't bite through your skin as easily as you think is because your reflexes are stopping you, they are preventing you from exerting force so as to stop you from harming yourself. I've trained myself to ignore that to my best ability, and I can definitely do damage as I can get some nice bruises from it, but even so I cannot break the skin. C) Inhospitable grounds breeds rougher physiology. If this was not true, then we would have no thick-skinned animals. μ) Fine, call it something inane. &) I will not dispute that the human body has some ingrained reflexes against harming itself. Why training yourself to ignore those is productive even in the context of testing your bite strength on yourself, though, I'm a bit foggy on. When I get angry sometimes I'll bite my arm (and generally regret it soon afterwards), being angry and all I bite it about as hard as I've bitten anything, and that generally just bruises it for a few days. Walrus) There is no inherent evolutionary benefit to getting into an injurious situation. Those that are regularly damaged die; evolution takes tens of thousands of years to produce an Armadillo from some ponderous prey animal with no better means of escape or defense at hand than to let itself be attacked. This applies even less to humans who, when faced with a boar, invent a boar spear. Genetic advantages become increasingly irrelevant as civilization advances and allows the weak (me) and unwise (you) to survive; if anything, Norwegians would've regressed in the last few centuries. I would add to this that I am, in fact, around half Norwegian. One eighth Native American, too.

That really means nothing... If anything, you've probably got a lower metabolism than the person I was talking about, because you have to burn a lot more energy to keep warm in a place that's actually cold. Not to mention they aren't exactly athletes. A) You don't have fangs, you have teeth. Please, don't use the word fangs, it sounds inane. B) It's not easy to break your skin with your teeth. I can't, and trust me I've bitten my arms damn hard in the past. I don't think biting strength varies to a terribly significant degree between people either. C) That has nothing to do with it. Being stabbed, bitten, and walking on rocks doesn't mean evolution will favor tougher skin, as in the former cases you're either skillful enough to avoid injury, lucky enough to escape, or you die, and in the latter your feet just callous as you age. Many tribes of Northeastern Native Americans had to deal with hunting grounds full of thorns and such, and thus those who were less affected by the thorns were better hunters and less likely to alert dangerous game. This is all conjecture, of course, as I'm no scientist.

You aren't really either. I know folks with amazing metabolisms, like this one girl who eats constantly and never changes from being middling-skinny (pretty certain she isn't anorexic). This matter also brings to mind stories from my Biology teacher about her one Native American student back when the classes did blood test; apparently Native Americans have naturally tough skin from the millenia more of hunter-gatherer lifestyles than most other cultures. The teacher had to let him do it, because he had to stab the needle a few times to get it in, rather than the prick most students needed. I'm glad you don't actually think you're Superman.

Actually, bones DON'T work like that. A bone's a bone, mass can change in response to different pressures, but it's just as easy to break again. The area around that bone not being in use for a while actually can decrease its mass, as I understand it. Also, bleeding is almost never a good or helpful thing. The rest, of course, I cannot dispute. You have some fairly sound reasoning, and looking into it I suppose it is indeed plausible. Normal, even. Please do keep in mind that just because you're not in pain, it doesn't mean you're not injured. So you're saying you're just an average person?

I'm going to deal with this first. Yes, everyone's chances are theoretically the same. Except they aren't, because these things probably rely on genes as well as random mutations. Even disregarding that, your chances of being another ultra-marathon-man are a few billion to one. If you think you might be, or something equally amazing, stand up now and make an appointment with your doctor. You've suddenly become a genetic miracle and might even get a little chunk of fame and fortune in the deal if you play your cards right. BRB dinner

No, those are extremely RARE cases If you think you're superhuman, go to the doctor and ask. Then we'll respect you as the pinnacle of Norse supremacy that you always talk about being. It should be noted that muscle mass can increase, callouses can form, but that doesn't mean hurting yourself will actually do anything. It won't 99% of the time. You have no way of knowing the 'human average' either. Also no you can't, that's just you deluding yourself into thinking that. Unless you go to a doctor and get yourself checked, thus proving me wrong.

But... but... her face... That's not art

Mather, that's not true. There's no such thing as superhumans, you are not superhuman, stop stroking your ego or if you're just trying to be honest about the matter then go see a doctor. These delusions you're having are not healthy in any way; they're driving you to self-harm, they're blinding you to ailments that COULD VERY WELL BE SYMPTOMATIC OF SOME POTENTIALLY LETHAL MEDICAL CONDITION if they're as bad and as frequent as described, and bragging about them is really awkward for everyone involved and will drive away other people. The (negative, I might add) attention you get from all this hoopla isn't worth life and limb. Get over yourself and at least go in for a checkup or something. The only reason I can think that you wouldn't is if you've been lying.

You people TERRIBLE

Hey Archi, I'm having the same problem you had before with Steam You're marked as offline

We should start a charity to teach scholastically starved Norwegians like Mather the basic sciences.

You folks have forgotten; everyone is a doctor in Norway. And you know what they say If everyone's a doctor... no one is.

Use the [bleep]ing English names you weeaboo I thought you were talking about an extraterrestrial weasel

This is the shit I listen to

Baby sloths in pajamas

Still less fabulous than Star Driver

Channel 56 Animal Planet 'Too Cute' They had baby sloths

Ending the Bionicle line was the worst thing Lego ever did. I have Vezon and Fenrakk. They're cannibalized for my own designs though. I might try to upload a picture of my favourite one.

What ships are these?

Well, it all comes down to taste, but... Clannad (or the sequel, at least) is supposed to be the definitive tearjerker Angel Beats is a good mix of comedy, action, romance, and enough tears to drown a puppy Bokurano is mecha/soul-crushing despair (so I've heard) Narutaru is mons/soul-crushing despair (so I've heard) Aaaand Fullmetal Alchemist has some damned sad bits And that's all I can think of right now
