Fast Food Nation - What goes into your burger?
It had the usual emotionally shocking routine and I'm not going to say it wasn't disturbing, but it'll take a lot more than that to get me to stop eating my favorite food.

Hematology and the Fear of Needles
It's because your mind's taken off of it. It reminds me of this story (about NLP but it relates):

Hematology and the Fear of Needles
Is it more pain or more squeemishness? If it's pain take some over the counter pain medicine beforehand if you can, see if that helps any.

Prices of new items
Since it hasn't even been 24 hours, I don't understand how they could have a set price yet to even question whether they'll stabilize at it. Give it a month then start wondering, because they'll probably keep dropping for awhile now.

Things have really been bothering me lately...
For starters, thinking you have a feminine rather than masculine mind is pretty limiting. By thinking you can't act masculine, you're setting yourself up for awkwardness. Rather thinking that you have a girl's mind trapped in a guy's body, just acknowledge that you're different in the sense that you don't like how society expects a male to act. Right now you're setting yourself up for a victimized by society defensive type act, which I'd try to drop. Just be yourself, but don't categorize your mind that way.

Do you think the RS economy will suffer?
Any word yet on how rares were effected? I'm guessing there was a definite drop, but unlike for getting skill capes, no items/gp are removed from the game so over time rares should be boosted.

going too new school: kinda nervous
Don't worry about how you should react. There are two things you can worry about. Things you have immediate control of, and things you don't. There's absolutely no use worrying about things you have no control of, and rather than worrying about things you do have control of, get working on controlling or taking care of your worries. In your place, you have no control over what things will be like at your school, so don't worry about it. Just talk to people, be friendly and make friends. Don't sweat it, you're there to have fun, make friends, and learn.

Do you believe in astrology?
This video on Derren Brown's show just came up on digg. If you even slightly believe in astrology or any of that stuff, watch this.

Do you think the RS economy will suffer?
I don't think it should hurt rares too much. It might hurt whips or other weapons/armor but whenever money circulates hands it's a good thing for the economy. When whips were first obtained rares actually went up after awhile just because of all the exchange of cash.

I want to die
I don't know what you're looking for here. You probably won't find it. You know you need to see a professional. They will help turn things around for you, even if you think your situation is different somehow.

Do we REALLY exist?
I was going to make a similar topic with a different approach later today. My spin on it was that I read an article saying that within the next 50-100 years, we should have the technology to build simulators advanced enough that the creatures/people in it fully believe they exist. If we'll have that kind of technology and millions of people have their own simulations running where the people in it are convinced they exist, whose to say we're not one of millions of simulations already running?

Highest Quest Requirements
What brings you back to playing rs? You've been gone there ages I'd assume, and I haven't really seen you in off-topic much lately until now either.

aliens/ghost
He shouldn't bother because it's frustrating saying something already (me saying how idiotic it is to lump aliens and ghosts together), and then having that go unnoticed. It's like no matter how many times you debunk/defend/disprove anything here it just comes back. Whether it be a post you made minutes ago or hours spent on a thread one month just to see the same thread come back once again unrefuted and filled to the brim with ignorance all over again. Anyway here's a link of some videos that'll do a good job: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl= ... a=N&tab=wv He shouldnt? Bro did you even read my first post? There was no reason to flame me at all, I even said the video was probably fake you idiot. And how did I lump them together? I just said its 2 topics in which I dont have a difinite opinion on you idiot. And sorry I dont read this boards everyday, so I dont know how many times it's been discussed. Why are you debunking something I already said was fake? You said you wanted to hear more about debunking aliens/ufo's. I said it was frustrating because people like you don't listen. You know how I know? Because you could have searched and found posters who debunked it tens of times. Because I said it was idiotic to lump aliens/ufo's together once already in this topic. And guess what? You didn't listen there either. So instead of watching those great shows by Richard Dawkins that I put up so we wouldn't have to explain things, you just got mad and started calling me an idiot (probably because you got the word idiotic I used earlier to explain something that you didn't read stuck in your head and confused my reply for a flame).

Do you believe in astrology?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but don't you know that any sign would have some hobby that you also would enjoy? I mean just by cold-reading you a psychic astrologist could tell you a lot that would (for not the right reason) surprise you. It's always nonsense that applies to anyone. In certain occasions you can be a little inhibited, but when you're truly yourself you're as outgoing as can be. You love creative mediums. Listening to music inspires you. While you may have made many acquaintances throughout your life, it's your closest friends that have always stuck around for you. Then to make matters worse, people associate specific instances to each thing they read and get all amazed by its magic. And if it doesn't apply? Oh, just a miss this week. They'll get me next time.

YouTube, BBC iPlayer end up costing UK consumers money
Sounds like it'll only be a matter of time until the companies start using tiered internet where we have to pay premiums if we want to use more than "standard internet." Basic ($19.95): Email, instant messenger, search engine specially provided by your company. Intermediate ($24.95):Youtube and flash allowed, streaming movies, etc. Limited to X Gig's per month. Internet Pro! ($34.95): Unlimited everything! Take advantage on this once in a lifetime deal!

aliens/ghost
I don't know how you could even group the two in the same topic. There's always an explanation to why you thought what you saw was a ghost. It was dark and your irrational mind jumped to the first emotional response. Or convince people easily enough by putting badly developed pictures in a montage with scary music. Usually works. Aliens on the other hand. I'd bet my life that other life exists somewhere in the infinite amount of galaxies out there. edit: Merc, seen Dawkins' Enemies of Reason?

High end headphones question
I'm not interested in buying a sound card, I think the one I have is good enough. I'm just asking if using Bose headphones would make a night and day difference compared to the ipod-like free ones that came with my computer.

How would your heaven/paradise look like?
I picture it being in another dimension. The floor is misty, and everyone I ever knew or wanted to know is always available. Everyone looks the best they ever looked to everyone else. And people just chill and talk with each other. I don't have much else envisioned. Unfortunately though, there is that whole shortage of chairs issue.

High end headphones question
I was thinking about getting $100+ dollar Bose type headphones because they sound so great at stores where you can sample songs with them. What I was wondering was for people who already own expensive headphones. Does it make the same difference as those samples at stores with whatever computer you have? Or does it depend on your soundcard? I've got a pretty decent soundcard right now and normally use the headphones that come with my laptop but I'll buy Bose ones if the sound always sounds as good as they do in stores.

Wii finally makes it to #1 in worldwide sales
I dunno. I'm not sure if its a firmware thing or just a software thing. If its the later, they can upgrade it and we can have something other then friend codes. I haven't done anything online yet. So far no games I've seen that are worth it. They need to make more rpg's quick..... and proper fps.... Metroid's coming out this month I think. The first good game in a long time. I haven't played since winter really, and now with college starting I won't be able to play Metroid for awhile. :(
