That'd be funny if the next post in this thread was Omar asking for relationship advice.

A newcomer coming to TIF and claiming to have found the "best" way to do something... it's like throwing a steak into the lions' den :lol:

I'm not talking about consent; I'm talking about responsibility. If you get drunk now and choose to go do something stupid, I won't logically feel sorry for whatever consequences you suffer because such situations could've likely been avoided if you were a responsible adult. I'll still feel sorry for you emotionally and be your shoulder to cry on assuming something terrible happens, though. :D Exactly.

This is you reading this thread after asking that question and then not participating in the discussion :P

Yes, because there a clear difference between being the perpetrator of a crime, and being the victim of one because someone knowingly abused your vulnerability at that moment in time to get you to consent to something you would not otherwise have done. Interestingly, you said that this was a case of "saying that X happened as a result of Y behavior." So you're essentially admitting that, had Y not happened, X would never have occurred? Correct, and Y can "equal" any of the following: - Girl chooses to drink excessively - Girl chooses to put herself in dangerous situations - Guy chooses to become a rapist As I've said before, it's insane to place 100% of the blame on one person and then consider the other completely innocent. Which is what you seem to be doing.

So Ginger, you're only responsible if you do bad things while drunk but if bad things happen to you, you're not responsible?

What of the self-responsibility of a man to tell the difference between "Yes, I want to have sex with you," and "Yes, I'm so shit-faced right now you could tell me to do handstand on the side of the Humber Bridge and I'd do it for the lolz"? What is that men find so hard ruddy hard to understand that when a girl goes on a night out and gets drunk, that doesn't mean they want you to grope them all over, take them back to your place and take advantage of that vulnerability. Yes, women should exercise caution when getting drunk, although, the irony is this: they only need to take caution because of men thinking that's completely acceptable to get a girl apopletically drunk in order to 'soften them up' into having sex with them. Which seems to be exactly what you're finding permissible here. Thankfully, the law (at least where I live) agrees with me that it is rape on the grounds of the victim not being in a position to give consent to the act. So yes, I'll continue to draw analogies to rape. Because, you know, that's what it is. Both the man and the woman are responsible. Saying that either party is 100% responsible while the other party is completely innocent is insane.

More on that note... Ginger, saying that X happened as a result of Y behavior isn't the same thing as saying, "SHE DESERVED IT!" Do I think women "deserve" to get raped? Ever? No! But that doesn't change the fact that it happened, and that they aren't completely free of responsibility just because they were held responsible in the worst way imaginable.

Agree with Mila Kunis being an 8. If she had bigger boobs, she'd be higher up on the scale :thumbup: I don't understand why everybody thinks Emma Watson is hot though. She's a 7 at best IMO.

One of the reasons I chose to "invest" in Online Dating was because it avoids this issue altogether. I'm not interested in hooking up with drunk chicks for that reason. With that said, if you give "consent" while drunk, you're responsible for the consequences. If you're the kind of person who likes to make stupid decisions when you get drunk, then: a) Don't allow yourself to get into such situations while drunk b) Don't drink in the first place Side note: I hate the phrase "blaming the victim"; it's like bullying people into not holding others responsible >_>

Are you sure? I remember long ago when Villandra got 99 slayer only via cannoning, her average cannon damage (and/or accuracy; can't remember) went up as her ranged level went up.

Kinda surprised they never bothered to rework lunars w/ EOC. Could've really made combat less mundane by making harder bosses which require someone to be a healer

yeah man

That's how I did it back in the day, but with noted wines. I think Zarfot originally suggested it

Had a long post typed out and hit the Back button and it got erased :wall: There's many different forms of happiness. I don't think it's possible to remain consistently happy without constantly doing things like going out of your comfort zone and making changes to your life. Because if you aren't changing anything, you're gradually going to get bored. This is why stuff like setting goals is important. There's different degrees of happiness and I suspect that most people have never experienced some of the "upper levels" of happiness to know that there's a better way to live. My friends might say they're "happy," but to me they're just "content" or "satisfied," which in my book is basically mediocre (I consider them merely content or satisfied because of the things they say and do). When you live on the upper-end of the ladder, life gets good. For example, if happiness is a scale, it might look something like this from worst to best: Suicidal - depressed - apathetic - bored - content - satisfied - happy - joyful - euphoric To give an example, I think most people feel "euphoric" for extremely short periods of time after stuff like sex. But there's been about 2-3 times in my life where I've literally felt euphoric for a full day at a time. I wrote about that here. The second time I was euphoric for nearly 48 hours. But the interesting thing was, by the end of the second day, I paradoxically got kind of "bored" of the state. I didn't feel comfortable feeling so euphoric because it was like feeling the opposite of depression, yet at the same time it was in a way similar to being depressed. Because when I was in that state I was kind of like, "What's the point of doing anything if I'm already at my peak?" It's like getting 200M XP in RuneScape and then all future endeavors in that skill are "pointless." If that makes sense. But then again, for all I know there could be another level beyond even that state. If that were the case, then I wouldn't mind being euphoric 24/7 :P But since I've never experienced anything higher than that, similar to how many people have probably never experienced happiness beyond a certain point, it's hard to know. The "goal" is to have your baseline state be higher up on the happiness ladder. If you're "depressed" by default, then you're probably doing something wrong. You're not getting out of your comfort zone or making enough changes or something. In my case, I fluctuate between satisfied and joyful depending on circumstances. I usually only feel euphoric for short periods of time after I've accomplished something really important and it's like I'm being "rewarded" for it or something.

It was implied it would be the same tier as KK, which is top tier. Your prediction is as good as mine. Considering just a few posts ago you said you knew of no mentions of the update till I posted it, I don't think it's fair for you to conclude that your inferrences of semantics are somehow superior to mine.

When the KK was about to be released they said that it, along with the ranged dungeon, would require top tier armor. (even though KK was easily duo'able with void but hey...)

I think this is a recurring theme... Also notice that it doesn't show any of my daily challenges in the actual list. At least I can go to the skill categories to see them still.. Buggy day today I guess. My task today was to mine copper >_> (I'm 86 mining)

You'll have to come with an argument for such a case

Worth watching for someone that thought the novel was average at best? Probably not, unless you like Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire

We should be happy because it's the final arbiter of the human experience. Happiness is your indicator of how you well you're doing as a human being. If you're constantly experiencing fear, anger, stress, etc. instead of happiness, joy, euphoria, peace, etc. then you're doing something wrong. I deserve happiness because I say I do. Imteresting theory. Who's to say that peak physical fitness isn't the final arbiter? Seems like a endgame view of humanity, to be honest. More or less. I believe personal self-development leads to humanity's development. I can't think of any reasons why physical fitness would be the endgame, especially in modern society.

I'm not saying selfishness equals or leads to happiness. I'm saying that making yourself unhappy just to avoid being considered "selfish" is insane. And making yourself unhappy just to be considered "selfless" is equally insane. It isn't that other people aren't important. You can still help others if you want to (and I do this routinely, BTW), but if you're doing so just to appear selfless then you're being stupid. Correct. Depends on what your definition of a selfish prick is. Being inconsiderate and caring only about yourself doesn't lead to happiness. That's not how reality works. But the same thing can be said for caring only about others. And why is that a bad thing? Because then you'd be unhappy. Again, you can't say that being "selfless" allows you to help others and yourself, whereas being "selfish" allows you to help yourself but not others.
