[Love doesn't [bleep]ing exist]

Hey Tripsis, nice on extrapolating an entire history based on one month at the END of it. That's like looking at a dying old man and saying he must have been sick and wrinkly his entire life.

[Love doesn't [bleep]ing exist]

Girls (and guys) are much more... selfish and fickle... when they're young. It sounds like you aren't - that's good. Problem is, you're going to run into many girls who a) don't know what they want and/or B) want to use you so they won't be alone. The number of people like this decrease as you get older. It hurts now, but you will find someone who wants what you want.

 

Morningrise and Gidion, notice that she was disengaged for the last nine months. Frankly, I think Sman picked up on that (subconsciously, at least) and has been pulling away himself. If he's been focused and she hasn't, it will show.

 

You're truly better off without her, Sman. Learn from this, and make yourself a better person.

[Tasks 53 and 54]

It's weird seeing you get a level anything below mid 80s because I'm used to seeing your excellent non combat stats from the last few years. Either way, very nice and I hope your next 30 come easy! :mrgreen:

 

I know, right? It's odd for me too, ESPECIALLY since it's combat.

["Prologging"...]

Half of the difficulty of Prolog is getting your base predicates right. Hang in there - it takes rewiring your brain a little to think in Prolog. It's been 5years since I used it, so my brain has reverted.

 

I have a Masters degree in CS, so feel free to PM me if you need any assistance.

Baby's Named a Bad Thing

 

Hilarious.

[Screwed in advance]

You know, the name phenomenon isn't restricted to one race and class. Parents all over the place name their kids dumb things because it's trendy and "unique". I can't tell you how many poor little girls I know who have names that look like a respectable name that had a collision with a train full of vowels.

 

The thing with names is that they start out in the "upper classes" and work their way down. Names that now evoke "trailer park hooker" used to evoke "Ivy-league bound".

 

I hate all of it.

 

My children will have respectable names. For example, my first son will be named after my dad and my wife's dad, and my first daughter will be named after her great grandmother.

 

Poor kids. Poor stupid parents, riding on the popular bus.

[Days off]

Days off can't be overestimated.

 

However, Stormrage's article was far more rational in my mind. Then again, I do love using "real world" theories to model RS behaviour (= Giant Dork), so any economic article that's even half reasonable is great.
