one of the less well-thought out decisions of my life was to schedule my driver's test a week after my wisdom teeth were taken out. the swelling did not go down as quickly as I anticipated. some people look like criminals in their license picture... I looked like a chipmunk

Well, not scum. Just inactive. So it goes. Hm, in rereading this... is it really that unlikely? It might actually be a really good strategy. The first people that players are going to suspect are the most active players. There's nothing precluding anyone from posting nothing, just lurking...

Sports - I'm not good at sports, and I don't like watching sports... so, yeah, there's really very little reason why I would like the genre. (That being said, while I don't like golf, I've actually enjoyed the few golf games I've played.) Fighters and FPS - Nothing against either. I just...

my company has a policy of year-round "summer Fridays" of working from home and taking the afternoon off. in my year here, I'm solidly convinced that most people take this to mean "don't work on Friday, at all". have an issue on a friday? good luck, no one is in the office, and no one is...

Think Like a Freak by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt The First Family Detail by Ronald Kessler Just ordered a copy of Steve Silberman's NeuroTribes. Should be a good read.

My mother's technology prowess never fails to amuse. She tries, but for the most part, the 00s and 10s just didn't happen for her technology-wise... Her latest struggle is with sending pictures she takes on her phone via message. every time, she emails them in an attachment to my work email...

the Tales series always has an old man in a room full of cats. don't ask me why

or scum could be killing scum to spice things up :'D although tbh doing so the first day would be kind of pointless, but then again, that could be the point.

it's not the game's fault, but I ruined the final fight in MM for myself. I'd never done it before, with the deity's mask or otherwise. I figured the mask + milk would make things easier, but I didn't expect it to turn me into a monstrous, unstoppable machine. the battle was over in about two...

It's hard to lynch people when most of the posts are encouraging other people to post :S idk. Maybe I'm trying too hard to read into people's posts when there's nothing there... just need to buckle down and lynch people regardless until something happens. well, nothing to lose, lynch Diego...

They had a liquid version, too. I distinctly remember having a horrible ear infection when I was really young... and my older sister drank my amoxicillin, just because she liked the taste. it did taste good, though. I kind of like the taste of Gaviscon. It's terrible and chalky, yet...

Agreed, that was a terrible mechanic... just had to accept your doom there. I'm not sure if I have any particular item aside from that that really irked me, though. Red shells were annoying as hell when you were flying over jumps, though. There's nothing you can do except drop to your death.

went white water rafting, which was great until our raft flipped over on a class 4 rapid and everyone fell out vacations are lovely to go on, but I think I saw my entire life before my eyes there for a bit...

I don't know how I spent hours upon hours playing the N64 as a kid. The controllers hurt my hands now if I play for a long time, and I don't have very big hands, either (sob sob haven't grown since I was 12). That being said, I'd take the N64 controller any day over the WiiMote. Have never...

I would never go out in pyjamas; I'd feel ridiculous and sloppy. That being said, what other people wear doesn't impact me in any way, so if they want to wear pyjamas, go ahead and wear pyjamas for all I care. that being said, Tesco also has the right to ban pyjamas. so if that floats their...
