Yes definitely. I think forgiveness is a lot harder to achieve than gratitude though :P

I agree with the first part of your post, the second part, not so much. Most people don't have a background in music so you can't really blame them for not being able to appreciate more "talented" artists. Basically anything you hear on the radio was written with the lowest common denominator in mind. I'd like to give those artists the benefit of the doubt-- that they just want to become successful and provide music which the masses can enjoy. There's nothing wrong with that. Almost all of my friends listen to music like that. I have a feeling that if I never had a background in music prior to listening to Dream Theater, I'd never be able to appreciate them as much as I do today. And at the same time, none of my friends like Dream Theater as much as I do (if at all), and those are the same friends who have never played a musical instrument or studied music theory :P So in other words, there's nothing wrong with liking Nickelback or Creed or Justin Bieber. It doesn't make you a bad person or anything. Those artists are so popular simply because so many people cannot detect the "simplicity" of that music, and therefore, they don't get bored of that kind of music like a "musician" would.

ran away with an exotic dancer named Sapphire? My old roommate plans on naming his first three daughters Serenity, Epiphany, and (can't remember the 3rd but it rhymed and was equally classy). Stripper names are strongly correlated with success in life. :thumbup:

There was some good in that, some bad. Generally, trying to pick up girls when they're walking home isn't going to end that well. Just like you, they're mostly tired and stressed from working all day, which for most people is reason enough to be left alone. Let's also face it: quite a lot of the time when guys approach girls for no good reason it's usually something they'd be better off moving away from, and a lot of girls are wary of that. Still, the flirting and the use of touch seemed useful. Yes you're right. Which is another reason why I really like his channel-- one of his videos is a compilation of the "most common rejections" that he gets. He states that rejections are common, and that's awesome since I think most people refrain from talking to girls (or guys) and they refrain from touching them simply because they fear rejection. Instead of "playing it safe" and trying to passively trying to get people to like you, he recommends using touching as a means to immediately determine whether or not you and your person of interest are actually compatible in order to minimize heartbreak and time wasted. In hindsight, there were so many girls in my past that I liked but I was too afraid to make a move on them. As a result, I never got anywhere with them and was always questioning their behaviors. If I had simply followed this guy's philosophy from the start, I would have known from the beginning whether or not they were a worthy "pursuit" for me. In other words, I really like how he states that rejection is inevitable, and more importantly, that rejection isn't a big deal, and that the successes are common enough to outweigh those rejections. And I also love how "normal" his approaches are. I think his conversations could even be described as "awkward" most of the time-- and that's what makes it so inspiring. That you can be "awkward" around women and still be extremely successful so long as you follow his principles.

In case none of you have read any of my posts... I'm obsessed with happiness :D I recall that the very first big "game changer" in my life which led me down this path was an exercise that one of my psych professors taught me. The exercise is simple, anyone can do it. I want you to think of someone who has had a positive impact on your life, no matter how significant or insignificant it was. They can be dead or alive, real or imaginary, it doesn't really matter. Take about 30 minutes out of your day to sit down, relax, and just think about someone or something that you are grateful for and have been influenced by. Write a letter to them, stating why and how they had an influence on your life. You don't have to actually send them this letter if you don't want to or don't feel comfortable; you can keep this letter to yourself if you wish. Simply thinking about this and writing down your thoughts is enough to complete the exercise. You could write a letter to your parents, or your best friend, or maybe a teacher or someone who had a profound impact on your life. In my case, the first letter I wrote was to a close friend of mine who taught me how to come out of my shell (I'm a hardcore introvert at heart). He taught me how to be social, how to make friends, and how to make people laugh; and for that, I am eternally grateful for his friendship. Had I never met him, there's a strong chance that a lot of my other close friends today wouldn't actually be my close friends because I wouldn't know how to interact with them "properly." You don't really have anything to lose by trying this out, especially if you decide to keep your letter to yourself. This might actually end up being the first time that you can make yourself cry out of sheer happiness and joy-- and you can also make someone else feel the same way if you choose to share your letter. So yeah. Try it. None of you should feel obligated to share your letters in this thread or anything; they should definitely be kept private if you wish. I just want you to let me know how it feels to try this. :)

http://www.youtube.com/user/GoodLookingLoser69 Awesome channel. Shows how simple it is. Even has guides for "nervous" and "basic" (normal) guys.

You have a few options: 1. Pull an all-nighter (stay awake for 24+ hours) and go to sleep at a "normal" hour (8pm or later). You'll probably sleep a bit more than normal and wake up about 10+ hours later. 2. Take 3mg of melatonin and try to go to sleep at a "normal" hour (10pm or later). You'll probably sleep a bit less than normal and wake up about 6+ hours later. 3. Don't try to drastically alter your sleep schedule. Instead, just try to wake up a couple of hours earlier each day over the next several days until your sleep pattern is back to normal. So if you woke up at 4:30pm, you probably won't get sleepy till 6:30am or so. Sleep for 8 hours, wake up at 2:30pm. The next day, you'll get sleepy at 4:30am. Sleep for 8 hours, wake up at 12:30pm, etc.

The donut hole

reminds me of when people trained agility at that one myreque house during the quest

You shouldn't call it optimal training if you aren't even using str-boosting prayers or overloads >_>

This was the article that popped up on my newsfeed http://www.upworthy.com/watch-a-hilarious-actress-shut-down-peoples-body-shaming-comments-about-her-outfits?c=mrp1 It's very difficult for some people to understand that "beauty" and "sexual attractiveness" are two completely different things.

Or they're really big fans of Hitler That crossed my mind too but I didn't think anybody would get the reference lol

I get annoyed when I see people share videos from "Upworthy"-- mostly because the videos tend to be extremely irrational, over-simplified, and idealistic misrepresentations of how the world actually works. I think stuff like that is generally a step in the wrong direction; I prefer uncomfortable truths over feel-good lies. Self-delusion inhibits personal growth and happiness. I'd rather see people sharing "hope for humanity" types of videos instead. Makes people feel good and it's realistic. Edit: someone beat me to it and stated my qualm much more eloquently: http://flavorwire.com/447533/you-dont-have-to-be-cynical-to-worry-about-upworthy/

Better than systematically attacking them on every opportunity on the basis that "they're all capitalist pigs who only care about money." because that is true, actually. You realise that is how companies are run.. right? If they fail to make money, they fail to exist. Put two and two together, use that walnut in your head. Looool 'use that walnut' of course I know companies need money, but not by destroying their once awesome game with pathetic updates, and throwing around bxp everywhere. RS won't last long anymore if they continue with this crap. seriously use that walnut lmfao hahahaha As a paying customer you're more than welcome to take your business elsewhere if you no longer support Jagex. But as long as you continue to pay them, then you're still supporting whichever business ventures they decide to pursue.

If it is weird, it's a good thing to be weird about. Just don't let women bully you into going bareback or else you may "come" to regret it. :twss:

The only difference between sex on a first date and sex at any later time is that it will probably take longer to get to sex altogether if you push for it on the first date, compared to if you were to "wait." In other words, if I was to try and score on every 1st date, I imagine it'd probably take me at least 5-6 hours to hook up. As opposed to spending 1 hour on a first date, and then simply having the 2nd date back at your place and having sex immediately, for a grand total of ~2 hours instead of 5-6. Though I imagine things would be different if I had a ONS/sex-oriented online dating profile rather than a relationship-oriented profile. If my profile was sex-oriented, I could probably get girls to just come straight over to my place lol If you're like my brother and you live in a city like LA where it takes at least an hour to actually get to the 1st date location, then yeah it makes sense to try and get to sex on the first date. But if you're like me and most of your dates are within walking distance to your apartment, then I don't really see the point in making things harder than they need to be. :P Not sure why the condom/birth control discussion is relevant here though. It's not like postponing sex magically wards off pregnancies and STDs :P

I like how every day on FB there's usually around 1-3 friends' birthdays. But on 4/20 it says there's NINE (!!) birthdays. Curious how many of my friends were actually born on 4/20, and how many of them are just blazing that shit up every day with Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering.

Clicking an overload every 5 minutes is less effort than rapid restore >_> Try using a DDS instead of maul. I started getting 5k more xp/hr after I started using DDS

How much XP/hr are you getting with Dharoks and 81 str there? I haven't done any trips in a while but I get like 75k str xp/hr with 60 att 81 str. I use DDS and all the powerups with 15% strength prayer Never bothered tracking it at all, all I can say is that it's better than alternatives. Sometimes I feel like dharoks is less DPS than whip but statistics tell me otherwise so it must be confirmation bias. Using the powerups other than spec one interestingly would give you less xp, as the bonus damage gives 0 xp. That said, the extra points are probably worth more than the negligable amount of XP you'd miss out on. Next trip I do I'll be sure to note my strength xp gain and edit it into this post. EDIT: 65k/hour... I potted super set about once every 20 minutes, verrrry afk. Even though not potted or pray, this was surprisingly low to me. I did use a guy that had black demons though so I'm not sure how much of a negative impact that has on the xp/hour, i can't imagine a lot based off all the hits I saw land on them, their def seems low. While on topic: Do you know what is up with the points gained per creature? The values I get are vastly different from those listed on the wiki. Yeah 65k/hr is really bad >_> You should try bringing prayer pots and see how many points per hour and how many prayer pots per hour you use with 15% str. And then see what your XP/hour is.

damn I thought my posts were long

I use ranch in my wraps... cook a chicken tender and put in a wrap with ranch, cheddar/jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes :thumbup:

We will have to agree to disagree then, as the core of this debate boils down to the fundamental beliefs of relationship and attraction dynamics

If you are going to disregard polyamory, then you have to state why. Like I said, it's a matter of neediness, not love. Monogamy demands neediness. If she were to take your advice and operate strictly from a monogamous perspective, then yes, she would be unable to have her cake and eat it too. The only way for her to have her cake and eat it too is via polyamory.
