i am the best type of gamer

LOL. You have proof?  Huh

I like old FPS (UT99, 2k4, quake, BF, etc..) and used to play them far too much. Pretty much cost me a job many years ago.. these days I don't play any games. Probably for the better. 

Same thing happened to me. I don't play anywhere near as much anymore, but I still enjoy PK'g once in a while. I guess that makes me a PKer.  Cool

LOL. What a strange post(er).  Cheesy

Most people would probably not find this as interesting a read as I did. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm no English (or math) scholar, but here's my take on the proper use of brackets. [I'm not going to get into their use in math, other than to say that everything within brackets should be calculated before it is used in the rest of the equation. If not specified it is assumed that you multiply it. [eg. 5(2+3)=25]

I use the square parentheses whenever I intend to use brackets within brackets. [ie. Like I'm doing now. (I don't consider "//" or "\\" a form of brackets.)]

I almost never use the fancy ones "{}" unless I'm using them to group multiple points under one title or description, but that's even not possible with a keyboard (as far as I know).

I use "<>" for unusual items like web addresses and to show an action or emotion instead of the equally acceptable "**". *takes a swig of my beer* For example, when showing sarcasm, I have a few options. I could use "/s" or "<sarcasm>", but I could also go with "*rolls eyes*".

<edit> I believe a dash "-" is often used to slam two (or more) sentences together, just like commas often do - I try not to do it much though.

1490  Other / Off-topic / Re: More dicks in your pussy will only make you a slut... on: December 08, 2014, 09:27:50 PM
I do not advocate having as many dicks as you can any more than I would advocate having as much pussy as you can. This is not at all the point I was trying to make.

The point is, why is it so hard for people to accept and love one another? Why do you insist that people cannot have multiple loving relationships? Where is this imaginary line that implies you don't have the capacity to love anymore people? After you find 'The One' are you supposed to just tell everyone else, "Sorry I've reached my 'Love Quota'. I love my parents, and siblings, and my significant other, there's just no more room to love anyone else."? Regardless, being monogamous is no guarantee of being in a loving relationship. I would prefer my mother and sister were in multiple loving sexual relationships rather than one unloving one.

Wouldn't you agree that the world would be a better place if we just learned to accept and love one another? Why do people 'fall in love'? Wouldn't it be better to love one another as a default, since you can always 'fall out of love' with someone if they prove to be unworthy?

This is priceless. Although I'm sure they do watch TV sometimes, but they'd be watching something that may have an impact on their life like the news instead of some series.
1492  Other / Off-topic / Re: Scientific proof that God exists? on: December 08, 2014, 08:53:40 PM

(let's assume Christian god = absolute truth, for the sake of argument)

How can an absolute lie be an absolute truth? The truth is, Emperor Constantine the Great created the Bible (ie. the christian god) as an instrument to regain control of his empire.

So, for the sake of argument, if the christian god = absolute truth, then War = Peace, Freedom = Slavery, Ignorance = Strength.

<image snipped>


Please reread the post.

I'm invoking the assumption because the posters who I am referencing are speaking from that assumption.

Let me guess, you're an atheist and you saw that statement in my post and didn't care to read the rest of the post for context, right?   If you had, you'd see the very point of my post was to illustrate that at least one, and possibly all, posters here have faulty presumptions of what absolute truth is, and therefore they cannot all be correct.

No, I read your whole post and understood what was in parentheses as being a statement independent of context, since in one of your conclusions you again stated absolute truth as being synonymous with christian god.
Conclusion 2:  Therefore, at least one (possibly all) of these posters believes in something that is not absolute truth/Christian god.

BTW, I am not an atheist, but an anti-theist. Basically, I hope there is no omnipotent god, because if there really is one I believe it to be a malevolent asshole.

@BADecker, Just to clarify, I know Constantine didn't create the bible with his own hands, but by his will.

I drink only water and beer. Nothing else.

No coffee or tea to start your day? Cocaine is pretty hardcore.

i don't think its negatively impacting my life, i just think i'm addicted to it...bitcoin would have to go to the low double digits for me to ever lose money but i still feel compelled to buy lots of it even at today's prices.

is that gambling?  Shocked

Investments can be considered gambling -- high-risk ones even more so.

I had a friend that loved gambling - poker, blackjack, SportsPro, whatever. He said he won and lost thousands over the years before he decided to quit gambling. He then got into the stock market and lost tens of thousands over night. That's when he realized he actually never did quit gambling.

Investing in Bitcoins and altcoins is no different. Everyone here is gambling. Good luck!  Smiley

Where in the Great white polar-bear-riding tim-hortons drinkin' north?

An igloo somewhere. Our technology isn't advanced enough to know in the icy-cold snow-blowing winds.

(Toronto)

Hey!  We're neighbors!  I'm from Edmonton!

 Wink

Haha. Hey! I'll take my polar bear and ride over there right now! Wink

In all seriousness though. My ex lived in Calgary. Alberta is an absolutely amazing province! Smiley

I too am from Toronto, have been to Calgary (Stampede) and even lived in Edmonton for a short time (where I was able to see the Northern Lights). It's a small world.  Smiley

Or like b!z says...

A small ball of dust floating in outer space.

Quit looking for irregular stuff, is that the only thing that drew your attention guys?

When I'm rating the attractiveness of a woman, a lack of a penis is high on the list.   Wink

LOL! As much as that makes sense and I completely agree, I've never actually seen a girl and thought, 'Mmm, mmm... I totally love her lack of penis'.  Grin

Excellent post. I'm sure it will help many people who wish to start their own bitcoin faucet.

Thank you for sharing!
No problem Mate!  Cheesy
I would love to create more posts like this.

Indeed, I agree with b!z. This looks like a very useful tutorial, which is why I'm so confused. What's a useful post like this doing here in the Off-Topic section of the forum? It seems so out of place to me. (Probably because it is.) Seriously though, kudos to you for contributing something worthwhile and pertinent to BCT. Cheers!

Reading through the news this morning, this article caught my eye, and reminded me about these forums' favorite furry

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-19-hospitalized-thousands-evacuated-in-gas-leak-at-rosemont-hotel-20141207-story.html

"Several thousand people were evacuated from a Hyatt hotel in suburban Rosemont when an “intentional” chlorine gas leak at a convention led to 19 people being hospitalized early Sunday morning.
...
Technicians decontaminated the area and after conducting several tests deemed the area safe within about two hours. People were allowed back into the building around 3:30 a.m. Some conventiongoers, some of whom were dressed up as animal characters, stood outside of the building. Hundreds more were escaping the chilly weather at other buildings.

The annual weekendlong convention, which celebrates art, literature and performance based around anthropomorphic animals, draws thousands of people every year, according to the Midwest FurFest website."


At first I thought this was about the emerald green cat that has been spotted in Varna, Bulgaria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzDZMykh9bQ. Turns out the cat has been sleeping where it shouldn't: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11273506/Mystery-of-emerald-green-cat-spotted-in-seaside-resort-solved.html.

Anyway, who is this forums' favorite furry? Smiley

Poor little kitty. I was hoping it was just green kool-aid.  Sad

Everyone's favorite Furyan...

"It's an animal thing."

Haha, JK.

I like these furries.  Kiss

(They might be foodies too.)
