[2013-11-08 14:29:40 UTC] ...says the pot to the kettle... [2013-11-08 15:00:15 UTC] yeah lol [2013-11-08 15:02:22 UTC] Of the dozen or so cancer survivors I have personally met, about half do anything other than talk about cancer, and half of them were unchanged by the ordeal and are still entirely alive. [2013-11-08 16:13:09 UTC] Perhaps they're just trying to make small talk or whatever [2013-11-08 16:13:20 UTC] And surviving cancer is the only interesting thing in their lives [2013-11-08 16:13:35 UTC] Like vegans who can't do anything but talk about how they don't eat meat [2013-11-08 16:16:50 UTC] That's possible too, but I think it's more likely that it is an equivalent to an addiction. [2013-11-08 16:17:27 UTC] People seriously addicted to pot do nothing but talk about pot, smoke pot, and do what they can to obtain pot. It [2013-11-08 16:17:29 UTC] ' [2013-11-08 16:17:30 UTC] s [2013-11-08 16:17:40 UTC] very similar to obsession with a particular trauma. [2013-11-08 16:18:02 UTC] You even get the same thing, to a *much* lesser effect, with things like mmo's. [2013-11-08 16:18:27 UTC] I have lost friends to mmo's, they might as well be dead now as far as I am concerned. [2013-11-08 16:19:05 UTC] Yeah, I used to be addicted to WoW [2013-11-08 16:19:25 UTC] As in, I had a friend come over one day to chat and I basicly ignored him because WoW happened [2013-11-08 16:19:34 UTC] And WoW happens constantly. No stopping that [2013-11-08 16:19:37 UTC] But people actually get over mmos. [2013-11-08 16:19:43 UTC] Eventually. [2013-11-08 16:19:45 UTC] Usually. [2013-11-08 16:19:50 UTC] People don't get over cancer. [2013-11-08 16:19:57 UTC] I haven't seen it, anyway. [2013-11-08 16:20:05 UTC] Well, maybe because there's no actual cure for cancer [2013-11-08 16:20:27 UTC] "Curing cancer" basicly means delaying it getting to an extremely dangerous level again [2013-11-08 16:20:28 UTC] Well, you can fight it off entirely and live physically normally for the rest of your life. [2013-11-08 16:20:42 UTC] And die of something else first. [2013-11-08 16:20:55 UTC] I mean, you're technically right, cancer will eventually kill you. [2013-11-08 16:21:00 UTC] but only if you live long enough. [2013-11-08 16:21:06 UTC] Yeah, but there's always that thought grinding in the back of your head that it might come back [2013-11-08 16:21:17 UTC] And the human life span is only so long, so lots of people die of something else before cancer kills them. [2013-11-08 16:21:37 UTC] That's pretty much true for anyone, though, anyone would die of cancer if they lived long enough. [2013-11-08 16:22:09 UTC] Well, long enough isn't really specific enough since something else can kill you [2013-11-08 16:22:21 UTC] And that isn't really true, some people really get beyond it, some people don't think about it more than any other memory. [2013-11-08 16:22:48 UTC] I think you don't really ever get over the worst memories [2013-11-08 16:22:52 UTC] You just get used to living with them [2013-11-08 16:22:58 UTC] I know several, I've been waiting for years for them to ever show any sign of them talking about cancer, or being concerned about it. They haven't. [2013-11-08 16:23:33 UTC] Yeah but they might think about it an unhealthy amount [2013-11-08 16:23:42 UTC] I have completely forgotten many things, bad memories included, but I have a TERRIBLE memory. People have to tell me about things that happened to me, and I only know of them through them telling me, I don't remember it myself at all. [2013-11-08 16:23:46 UTC] But I'm probably a rare case. [2013-11-08 16:24:30 UTC] Yeah, of course you forget stuff. But I almost garantue that you have some terrible memories since way back [2013-11-08 16:24:56 UTC] Like, I have some VERY serious scars from old injuries, all over my body, and I could not tell you where they came from. [2013-11-08 16:25:02 UTC] I honestly do not remember. [2013-11-08 16:26:04 UTC] I have a pretty bad temporary memory but I remember a lot from when I was younger [2013-11-08 16:26:10 UTC] I actually compared total scar tissue with a girl I knew in college, she had her SPINE FUCKING REPLACED and was horrifically scarred by it. Everyone agreed I was more scarred than her... but I don't know where it came from. No memory. At all. [2013-11-08 16:26:17 UTC] As in temporary, I have forgotten my name once. And how old I was at the same time [2013-11-08 16:26:39 UTC] Wait, replacing a spine? [2013-11-08 16:26:48 UTC] I can't remember birthdays. Including my own. It's in January... somewhere. [2013-11-08 16:26:59 UTC] Yeah, she had metal casing put over her entire spine. [2013-11-08 16:27:15 UTC] Some sort of very rare illness. [2013-11-08 16:27:19 UTC] Don't remember what it was. [2013-11-08 16:27:39 UTC] She also kicked me down two flights of stairs once. [2013-11-08 16:27:45 UTC] I know only my own birthday. After 3 years with the same class in school I knew about half of their names. [2013-11-08 16:27:46 UTC] I call her a bitch but I had it coming. [2013-11-08 16:28:12 UTC] Two flights of stairs? As in you took a turn while falling? [2013-11-08 16:28:17 UTC] Or am I imagining the stairs wrong? [2013-11-08 16:28:31 UTC] It was too stories tall, but one solid set of stairs. [2013-11-08 16:28:34 UTC] er... two [2013-11-08 16:28:34 UTC] What is even a "flight" of stairs? [2013-11-08 16:28:36 UTC] durp [2013-11-08 16:28:44 UTC] I don't know, I'd call it a floor. [2013-11-08 16:29:09 UTC] I don't actually remember what happened... [2013-11-08 16:29:22 UTC] But I've never been injured by a woman without just cause as far as I know. [2013-11-08 16:29:28 UTC] And it happens a lot. [2013-11-08 16:29:46 UTC] That doesn't make you sound like a nice person [2013-11-08 16:29:50 UTC] WAIT! There was one time. Jenna punched me in the face and I totally didn't have it coming. She misunderstood me. [2013-11-08 16:30:20 UTC] Nah, I just don't watch what I say around women. I talk to them as if they were men. It results in violence a lot. [2013-11-08 16:30:22 UTC] Pfft, you shouldn't have spoken a way where she could have misunderstood you. Totally your fault [2013-11-08 16:30:51 UTC] She was really angry about something else and also drunk, I really can't blame myself for that one case. [2013-11-08 16:31:10 UTC] And I try hard to blame myself. [2013-11-08 16:31:47 UTC] I haven't ever been attacked by a woman [2013-11-08 16:31:55 UTC] Because that would require me to interact with them [2013-11-08 16:32:13 UTC] Or somehow interact with them second hand [2013-11-08 16:32:46 UTC] One girl who I had never seen in face up close before, who I *thought* was very attractive, but turned out not to be, started talking to me one time. I was all, "Whoa! I've been staring at your ass for like 3 months, I didn't know your were such a butterface!" [2013-11-08 16:32:49 UTC] That HURT. [2013-11-08 16:33:47 UTC] I manage to provoke violence from women faster than anyone I know. [2013-11-08 16:34:47 UTC] I don't think I know any girl who'd actually attack a guy just because he said something [2013-11-08 16:34:59 UTC] So it's probably not just what you say [2013-11-08 16:35:07 UTC] Some people have very punchable faces [2013-11-08 16:35:35 UTC] One time I was multi-teamed. Oh, I go out of my way to offend women sometimes. I get some sick catharsis out of it. [2013-11-08 16:36:05 UTC] I don't even remember what I did, but I recall a gang beat down by at least 4 girls once. [2013-11-08 16:36:28 UTC] One was Cassie, who normally doesn't mind me, I must have done something really bad. [2013-11-08 16:36:32 UTC] So don't remember... [2013-11-08 16:37:47 UTC] The key is that I don't fight back, that would make me a real piece of work. [2013-11-08 16:38:08 UTC] If anyone fights back it makes the attack of that person more fun [2013-11-08 16:38:23 UTC] Spine metal casing girl punched me over one hundred times for something once, I was counting, and it started to REALLY hurt, but I wasn't going to hit back. [2013-11-08 16:38:53 UTC] A girl would have to use a lethal weapon on me to get me to fight back. [2013-11-08 16:39:26 UTC] I don't remember her name anymore... [2013-11-08 16:39:31 UTC] :( [2013-11-08 16:39:40 UTC] I don't like the term "lethal weapon" since that's about anything. [2013-11-08 16:39:43 UTC] Like your fists [2013-11-08 16:40:00 UTC] Not a 5'2" girl against a 6'4" guy. [2013-11-08 16:40:04 UTC] I just assume I will forget names [2013-11-08 16:40:19 UTC] Definitely not lethal. Proven by my own body. [2013-11-08 16:40:39 UTC] Then they're not taking it far enough [2013-11-08 16:40:56 UTC] Wait, that's a bad way of saying it [2013-11-08 16:40:58 UTC] Her fists started hurting too much and she couldn't hit me anymore. [2013-11-08 16:41:00 UTC] I'd prefere if you didn't die [2013-11-08 16:41:27 UTC] I, the punchee, outlasted the puncher. [2013-11-08 16:41:30 UTC] It was glorious. [2013-11-08 16:42:32 UTC] All hail our glorious leader Aaronjer the punchee [2013-11-08 16:42:36 UTC] But all that does is reinforce that I should definitely not physically attack women, totally unfair. [2013-11-08 16:43:44 UTC] I actually looked into the strength difference between men and women once, and as far as upper body strength is concerned a man of the same size and weight is twice as strong as a woman. [2013-11-08 16:43:55 UTC] It's really not even close at all. [2013-11-08 16:44:07 UTC] Since men are usually much larger. [2013-11-08 16:44:38 UTC] The average man can lift about 105% of his own bodyweight, a woman can lift maybe 50% [2013-11-08 16:45:13 UTC] Women's legs are closer than that though. [2013-11-08 16:45:39 UTC] Wait, 105%? holy shit, if I could do that I'd be strong as fuck [2013-11-08 16:47:20 UTC] I can do that, and I don't work out... :/ [2013-11-08 16:47:29 UTC] I can carry a man the same size as me for quite a while. [2013-11-08 16:48:25 UTC] Unless you're especially stringy I'm sure you could do the same if you carried them correctly. [2013-11-08 16:49:12 UTC] And carrying somebody considerably smaller than me, i.e. most women, is effortless. [2013-11-08 16:49:23 UTC] Yeah, I guess it depends on how you carry someone [2013-11-08 16:49:27 UTC] Once again, assuming you're not doing it wrong. [2013-11-08 16:49:46 UTC] Carrying somebody on your back is not hard... for a man anyway. [2013-11-08 16:49:59 UTC] A woman cannot really cart around another woman, generally speaking. [2013-11-08 16:50:04 UTC] But a man can do so with a man all day. [2013-11-08 16:50:22 UTC] Yeah, I can carry people quite a bit heavier than me [2013-11-08 16:50:29 UTC] See? [2013-11-08 16:50:33 UTC] I was thinking like bench-pressing or whatever [2013-11-08 16:50:33 UTC] Women can't/ [2013-11-08 16:50:40 UTC] So don't attack them. It ain't fair. [2013-11-08 16:50:47 UTC] Unless they are badasses and know karate. [2013-11-08 16:51:03 UTC] Doesn't attacking people who know karate sound like a worse idea though? [2013-11-08 16:51:17 UTC] I prefere to not attack people at all [2013-11-08 16:52:08 UTC] Like, a really creepy hug is so much better at getting people to stop punching you [2013-11-08 16:52:29 UTC] Pushing back their hair behind their ear [2013-11-08 16:52:30 UTC] Like, Cynthia Rothrock would kick my ass, to be sure. [2013-11-08 16:52:33 UTC] Whispering something [2013-11-08 16:53:00 UTC] Eh, people are used to me, I can't creep people out much anymore... especially my family, who is WAY creepier than I am. [2013-11-08 16:55:37 UTC] I find it more unlikely to get into a fight with people I know than strangers [2013-11-08 16:55:59 UTC] Maybe I know mostly kind people or people don't take me as a threat [2013-11-08 16:57:27 UTC] Well, that's the thing, I'm mentally unstable and when I'm off my meds and people are being annoying I am likely to attack them. (and then break my thumb in the process god damn it) [2013-11-08 16:58:21 UTC] Most people know not to annoy me (or talk to me at all) when I am unable to afford medication. [2013-11-08 16:58:25 UTC] But not everyone... :/ [2013-11-08 16:59:10 UTC] Oh, yeah, overly expensive medication [2013-11-08 16:59:13 UTC] Including SuperJer... somehow... >:( [2013-11-08 16:59:26 UTC] No, it isn't expensive, I'm just *very* poor. [2013-11-08 16:59:42 UTC] People with mental problems that result in violence are not well known for holding jobs. [2013-11-08 16:59:58 UTC] Well, I live in socialist Sweden, you'd probably get the help you need basicly free [2013-11-08 17:00:26 UTC] That would be nice, but European countries don't let you move to them unless you are a skilled professional, in general. [2013-11-08 17:00:59 UTC] European countries are very interested in helping their people in general... but not outsiders. [2013-11-08 17:01:37 UTC] America isn't popular for immigration because it's awesome, it's popular for immigration because it's the ONLY COUNTRY THAT LETS YOU MOVE TO IT. [2013-11-08 17:01:40 UTC] If you moved here I'm pretty sure you'd get help. Sweden helps immegrants a lot [2013-11-08 17:01:59 UTC] Dude, moving to 'murica if you want to work is fucking difficult [2013-11-08 17:02:10 UTC] Yeah, but you'd need to be skilled to move there, I've looked into it. [2013-11-08 17:02:22 UTC] People don't move to America because they want work. :/ [2013-11-08 17:02:31 UTC] They move here because it's better than being killed. [2013-11-08 17:02:48 UTC] Basicly the only way to get a greencard(?) so you're allowed to work is if your company is big enough and push it through [2013-11-08 17:03:19 UTC] Except that America has NO security at all and people just wander across the border all the time and nobody cares. [2013-11-08 17:03:41 UTC] It's a bit more difficult if you live in Europe to walk across the border ^^ [2013-11-08 17:03:43 UTC] And getting work under the table is very, very easy. [2013-11-08 17:04:04 UTC] Take a boat to Canada. Get in someone's car. Go across border. [2013-11-08 17:04:15 UTC] If it fails, repeat until it works. [2013-11-08 17:04:24 UTC] There isn't a penalty for failure. [2013-11-08 17:05:16 UTC] No? Pretty sure Pogo (a musician) wasn't allowed to travel to the U.S any more because he had a concert and made too much money [2013-11-08 17:05:18 UTC] Or something [2013-11-08 17:05:24 UTC] I've been across the border both ways many times, they don't check anything most of the time. [2013-11-08 17:05:28 UTC] But yeah, as long as nobody finds out I guess [2013-11-08 17:05:41 UTC] There are weird cases, but the average person can get in pretty easy. [2013-11-08 17:06:18 UTC] I mean, obviously, Roman Polanski would not do well to try to enter America. [2013-11-08 17:06:26 UTC] But non-famous people can do just fine. [2013-11-08 17:06:44 UTC] Also France is fucked up for not extraditing or imprisoning that sicko. [2013-11-08 17:07:51 UTC] Who knows who many more children he has molested over there, but... C'est la vie. [2013-11-08 17:07:56 UTC] Who's that? [2013-11-08 17:07:59 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 17:08:06 UTC] The director, Roman Polanski? [2013-11-08 17:08:12 UTC] Raped an underage actress. [2013-11-08 17:08:18 UTC] Not just a *little* underage. [2013-11-08 17:08:20 UTC] Like 13. [2013-11-08 17:08:24 UTC] And then fled to France. [2013-11-08 17:08:29 UTC] And France won't punish him. [2013-11-08 17:09:12 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 17:09:17 UTC] I mean, I know, his fiancee was murdered by Charles Manson, and that sucks, but that's no reason to ass rape a 13 year old. [2013-11-08 17:10:29 UTC] Well, there's never a reason to rape anybody [2013-11-08 17:11:07 UTC] Nah, I can conceive bizarre and unlikely circumstances in which it would be justified. [2013-11-08 17:11:36 UTC] Not as punishment, mind you, it's never an appropriate punishment. [2013-11-08 17:11:40 UTC] It's if it's actually owed somehow. [2013-11-08 17:11:47 UTC] The only one I can think of is like SAW stuff. Rape her or you both die [2013-11-08 17:12:06 UTC] Like, say, a prostitute takes your money for sex, and then hits you over the head and runs away. [2013-11-08 17:12:29 UTC] So, you run into her again and ask for the money back, she doesn't have it, so you have sex with her whether she likes it or not. [2013-11-08 17:12:39 UTC] That would be justified. [2013-11-08 17:12:59 UTC] That's fucking hilarious [2013-11-08 17:13:01 UTC] Since you DID pay for her body, and she did agree to it. [2013-11-08 17:13:54 UTC] If she was coerced in any way it wouldn't be justified. [2013-11-08 17:15:08 UTC] I don't think you should rape her anyway [2013-11-08 17:15:22 UTC] I mean, it's the same with buying anything else, if someone fails to give you the product and refuses to give back the money THEY are the ones in the wrong, it doesn't matter if the thing they were selling was their vagina. [2013-11-08 17:15:30 UTC] Well, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't blame somebody that did. [2013-11-08 17:15:40 UTC] I guess [2013-11-08 17:16:08 UTC] But if I were to sell my TV to you, took your money then ran away and so on [2013-11-08 17:16:10 UTC] I would probably just keep trying to get the money back. [2013-11-08 17:16:28 UTC] I would understand you taking my TV but I'd prefere you not breaking into my house to do so [2013-11-08 17:16:51 UTC] Well, you'd deserve it if somebody did break into your house to get it. [2013-11-08 17:17:03 UTC] Repo men do that kind of thing all the time. [2013-11-08 17:17:07 UTC] With firearms. [2013-11-08 17:17:23 UTC] Women are lucky repo men don't come after them :D [2013-11-08 17:18:19 UTC] :D [2013-11-08 17:18:54 UTC] Paying special repo men to get prostitutes who stole cash [2013-11-08 17:18:58 UTC] And if it seems like I'm generalizing with genders, most prostitutes are female (by far) and most rape victims are female (by *very* far) [2013-11-08 17:19:01 UTC] rapo men [2013-11-08 17:20:48 UTC] I knew one of us would eventually say rapo men. [2013-11-08 17:20:51 UTC] It had to happen. [2013-11-08 17:20:58 UTC] Yep [2013-11-08 17:21:30 UTC] Thank God it wasn't you, so not just you can be blamed for the horrible stuff we've been talking about [2013-11-08 17:21:41 UTC] Anyway, if you don't want people to aggressive take things from you that you stole, you shouldn't steal things. [2013-11-08 17:21:51 UTC] aggressively... [2013-11-08 17:21:57 UTC] I forget lys sometimes. [2013-11-08 17:22:09 UTC] lys is Swedish for "glow" [2013-11-08 17:22:12 UTC] Now you know [2013-11-08 17:22:20 UTC] Science. [2013-11-08 17:22:22 UTC] I forget to glow a lot.] [2013-11-08 17:22:22 UTC] Knowledge. [2013-11-08 17:22:51 UTC] So, if you ever want to let me move into your Swedish house in Sweden and get free medical care, I'm all for it. [2013-11-08 17:23:24 UTC] Okay, so I've been reading about this stuff now [2013-11-08 17:23:26 UTC] http://www.migrationsverket.se/info/5052_en.html [2013-11-08 17:23:27 UTC] But I'd probably get deported for being too poor and unskilled anyway. [2013-11-08 17:23:41 UTC] Basicly, for up to 90 days I'm pretty sure I can get you here [2013-11-08 17:23:52 UTC] "Visiting a friend" [2013-11-08 17:24:48 UTC] Yeah, but European countries have very few immigrants, and actually pay attention to their visitors, I'd almost certainly get caught trying to stay too long. [2013-11-08 17:25:07 UTC] Yeah, but if you get a job and manage to hold it [2013-11-08 17:25:21 UTC] The company can get you to stay for an unlimited time [2013-11-08 17:25:29 UTC] Or, atleast until you get yourself fired [2013-11-08 17:25:33 UTC] It's pretty much a requirement of socialist countries, you can't really let people in and give them free care, or your economy would collapse. [2013-11-08 17:25:55 UTC] I guess [2013-11-08 17:26:11 UTC] We do take in refugees though without any problem [2013-11-08 17:26:29 UTC] I mean, it works great for the people born into it, but it's exclusive. I don't think I'd count as a refugee. :/ [2013-11-08 17:26:29 UTC] So if you get enough death threats or something there would be no problems [2013-11-08 17:27:03 UTC] Well, if you manage to live atleast 5 years in Sweden you can ask to get a permission to become a Swedish citizen [2013-11-08 17:27:24 UTC] Also I'd have to learn Swedish, unless I had to translate. [2013-11-08 17:27:33 UTC] yer.. you to. [2013-11-08 17:27:36 UTC] ...er... [2013-11-08 17:27:38 UTC] God damn it. [2013-11-08 17:27:42 UTC] I cannot type. [2013-11-08 17:28:02 UTC] Yeah, I guess learning a new language sucks but until then everyone in Sweden speaks English [2013-11-08 17:28:22 UTC] Well, that's true of most countries. [2013-11-08 17:28:45 UTC] Hooray for world language! Go United Kingdom! You can win the world language prize! [2013-11-08 17:28:47 UTC] True. Fucking English being everywhere constantly [2013-11-08 17:29:18 UTC] When you have several important countries already speaking it as their primary language it gets hard to avoid. [2013-11-08 17:29:42 UTC] It's unfortunate, given how bad of a language English is as a world language. [2013-11-08 17:29:54 UTC] Yeah. Didn't America have like a vote on what language to use as their primary language? [2013-11-08 17:30:02 UTC] It's like, almost as bad as trying to use Chinese worldwide. It's actually close to being that bad. [2013-11-08 17:30:09 UTC] And English won with just like 2 votes over Dutch [2013-11-08 17:30:28 UTC] People should all speak something ancient and simple worldwide, like Greek or Latin. [2013-11-08 17:30:48 UTC] You can learn Latin in like a month, it takes years to speak most other languages. [2013-11-08 17:30:50 UTC] What's the built language that is as simple as possible? [2013-11-08 17:31:00 UTC] Esperanto [2013-11-08 17:31:35 UTC] Well, developing a language specifically for worldwide use seems like a bad idea, because you don't start with anyone at all that can speak it. [2013-11-08 17:32:07 UTC] Whereas Latin has all those catholic clergy! Oh great! My favorite people! [2013-11-08 17:32:12 UTC] Except for the one dude who made it [2013-11-08 17:32:39 UTC] Isn't Latin so dead it's basicly impossible to actually speak it? Or am I completely wrong? [2013-11-08 17:32:40 UTC] Just because you've created a language doesn't mean you can speak it. [2013-11-08 17:32:54 UTC] No, Latin is completely known, and has many speakers. [2013-11-08 17:32:59 UTC] And is *very* simple. [2013-11-08 17:33:08 UTC] Well, shit. Didn't know [2013-11-08 17:33:11 UTC] It only has one word for any particular thing. [2013-11-08 17:33:27 UTC] As opposed to all other languages that have like 600 words for everything. [2013-11-08 17:34:18 UTC] Don't really understand. Do you mean like Happy, Glad, etc are just "Happy"? [2013-11-08 17:34:34 UTC] Basically yeah, all ancient languages are simpler like that. [2013-11-08 17:34:46 UTC] It's just that most have been forgotten. [2013-11-08 17:34:53 UTC] But Rome wrote everything down. [2013-11-08 17:34:59 UTC] So we still know their language. [2013-11-08 17:35:13 UTC] [u]everything[/u] [2013-11-08 17:35:20 UTC] That's pretty sick though [2013-11-08 17:36:04 UTC] Really, everything. They were the only BC country to have extensive writing, not just writing by nobles and scholars, but a regular mail system between common people. [2013-11-08 17:36:22 UTC] Like, the common people were actually literate. How weird is that. [2013-11-08 17:36:36 UTC] Guess you can get away with that when your country doesn't torture it's people for no reason. [2013-11-08 17:36:44 UTC] I'm looking at YOU, dark ages. [2013-11-08 17:37:08 UTC] That was the wrong it's/its. [2013-11-08 17:37:10 UTC] Sorry. [2013-11-08 17:37:43 UTC] Nah, don't worry. You've probably studied less English then I have in your life [2013-11-08 17:38:08 UTC] So, there's all sorts of mail still lying around from Roman times. [2013-11-08 17:38:38 UTC] Just normal stuff like "Hey Brovius, what's up with those non-Romans, so barbaric, amirite?" [2013-11-08 17:38:41 UTC] That's pretty cool. What did they write them on if they didn't break? [2013-11-08 17:39:19 UTC] Not sure, but people keep finding more and more Roman mail all the time. A few years back they found like 1000 letters in England somewhere. [2013-11-08 17:39:51 UTC] Just... in a hole somewhere. [2013-11-08 17:40:16 UTC] It's pretty cool what you can find if you dig a bit [2013-11-08 17:40:39 UTC] Apparently Boudicca didn't manage to burn that mail when she was all raging around Britannia. [2013-11-08 17:41:04 UTC] I dunno if it's like this in the US but in Sweden, if you want to build a house or whatever you have to have certain people dig in the ground to look for old stuff first [2013-11-08 17:41:18 UTC] Which is surprising, since she turned Londinium into ashes before the Romans actually bothered to fight her. [2013-11-08 17:41:31 UTC] I'm horrible at history, I have no idea who Boudicca was/were [2013-11-08 17:42:00 UTC] It's not like that in the US, because nobody lived here before a few hundred years ago, there's no point in checking for ancient relics. [2013-11-08 17:42:31 UTC] Ah, okay [2013-11-08 17:42:44 UTC] Boudicca was an ancient Britannian queen that rebelled against Rome. She gathered up half a million soldiers and burned down what is now London. [2013-11-08 17:42:58 UTC] Also, in Sweden, it's funny with the digging for old stuff for such stuff [2013-11-08 17:43:10 UTC] It's not about finding stuff or not finding stuff. It's about how much you find [2013-11-08 17:43:15 UTC] then 20,000 Romans showed up and killed all 500,000 Romans without even trying, because ancient Romans were unstoppable fighters. [2013-11-08 17:43:20 UTC] People just assume there will be stuff, and there usually is [2013-11-08 17:43:35 UTC] er... 500,000 rebels. [2013-11-08 17:43:37 UTC] not romans. [2013-11-08 17:43:37 UTC] God. [2013-11-08 17:43:49 UTC] Yeah, I assumed so ^^ [2013-11-08 17:44:28 UTC] It's funny that they really were that good. 20,000 took on literally 500,000 and barely even lost 5% of their forces utterly crushing Boudicca's army into the dirt. [2013-11-08 17:44:36 UTC] It pays to learn tactics. :/ [2013-11-08 17:45:25 UTC] Yeah, I guess [2013-11-08 17:45:42 UTC] Kind of similar to the greatest air battle of all time, between 'murica and Japan in world war 2. [2013-11-08 17:45:51 UTC] Something like 500 fighters on each side. [2013-11-08 17:45:57 UTC] Japan lost pretty much all of them. [2013-11-08 17:46:01 UTC] 'murica lost like 20. [2013-11-08 17:46:19 UTC] Japan sucked at fighting, really, really hard. [2013-11-08 17:46:45 UTC] Did you know they didn't win a SINGLE battle after the sneak attack that started the war? [2013-11-08 17:46:50 UTC] Not. Even. One. [2013-11-08 17:46:54 UTC] And even the sneak attack failed. [2013-11-08 17:47:00 UTC] Because they didn't sink their target. [2013-11-08 17:47:04 UTC] They didn't even damage it. [2013-11-08 17:47:18 UTC] Pearl Harbor, or am I off my mark again? [2013-11-08 17:47:26 UTC] Yeah, Pearl Harbor. [2013-11-08 17:47:31 UTC] Their objective was to sink carries. [2013-11-08 17:47:34 UTC] ...carriers. [2013-11-08 17:47:36 UTC] they didn't. [2013-11-08 17:47:54 UTC] All this while 'murica was ALREADY fighting the Nazis. [2013-11-08 17:47:56 UTC] I guess that they did do quite a bit of damage anyway [2013-11-08 17:48:06 UTC] Like, wow Japan... just... wow. [2013-11-08 17:48:31 UTC] They did a lot of damage to the base, which is not important, the only thing that mattered was the capital warships like carriers and battleships. [2013-11-08 17:48:50 UTC] And they didn't exactly perform well on that front. [2013-11-08 17:49:37 UTC] Like, you sneak attack a country that is already involved in literally the largest war in world history... and fail to win a single battle.] [2013-11-08 17:49:42 UTC] God damn. That's noobs. [2013-11-08 17:50:34 UTC] If they weren't Japan and obsessed with honor and shit they probably would have surrendered after like a month. [2013-11-08 17:50:41 UTC] Stupid honor. [2013-11-08 17:50:46 UTC] Gets so very many people killed. [2013-11-08 17:51:00 UTC] I wonder how differently they teach history in Sweden and 'murica [2013-11-08 17:51:30 UTC] Well, in American high school they teach that it was a bitter and close struggle that America BARELY prevailed in. [2013-11-08 17:51:44 UTC] If you actually look it up, America held Japan down and pooped on its face. [2013-11-08 17:52:00 UTC] The war or the Japanese battle? [2013-11-08 17:52:17 UTC] I think America wants it to look more dramatic than it really was. [2013-11-08 17:52:21 UTC] The war against Japan. [2013-11-08 17:52:39 UTC] The war against the Nazis was only won because the Nazis overextended themselves. [2013-11-08 17:52:44 UTC] They were super good at fighting. [2013-11-08 17:52:47 UTC] Japan sucked balls. [2013-11-08 17:52:58 UTC] I would have thought America would have been gleefully ignoring the actual struggle in general and be like "Lol, smash'd" [2013-11-08 17:53:26 UTC] Nah, we'd be like that about a war today, but 'murica was different in the 40's. [2013-11-08 17:53:32 UTC] True [2013-11-08 17:53:41 UTC] Because we hadn't proven ourselves in worldwide combat yet. [2013-11-08 17:54:10 UTC] So everyone looks at it with nostalgia glasses and acts like retards about it. [2013-11-08 17:54:28 UTC] I guess [2013-11-08 17:54:43 UTC] At least today nobody in America pretends we fight any real wars anymore. We go bully people that have no chance. That's what we do, and everyone knows it. [2013-11-08 17:55:27 UTC] Not that anyone has a chance anyway. Sweet Jesus the US military is fucking huge. It's just bonkers. [2013-11-08 17:55:46 UTC] Like, if there weren't nuclear bombs, 'Murica would probably control the whole world by now. [2013-11-08 17:55:51 UTC] But the thing is that huge armies isn't even how America fights any more [2013-11-08 17:55:52 UTC] Thank god for nukes. [2013-11-08 17:56:29 UTC] But it IS. Did you know the US navy alone is literally more than twice the size of the REST OF THE ENTIRE WORLD combined? [2013-11-08 17:56:50 UTC] World's navies/armies [2013-11-08 17:57:10 UTC] I'm pretty sure the navy isn't 2x the amount of people on earth ^^ [2013-11-08 17:57:17 UTC] The US has 20 supercarriers right now. the rest of the world has about 10 regular carriers, which are like 1/4 as strong. [2013-11-08 17:57:36 UTC] All I can say is, thank god for nuclear deterrent. [2013-11-08 17:57:45 UTC] To be fair, the rest of the world can actually afford their carriers ^^ [2013-11-08 17:57:52 UTC] Because America is totally warlike enough to conquer the world if they didnt have to worry about nukes. [2013-11-08 17:58:08 UTC] But, yeah, the American army is fucking huge, no denying that [2013-11-08 17:58:11 UTC] I'm not that mad [2013-11-08 17:58:33 UTC] I get really annoyed about it, not proud, don't misunderstand. [2013-11-08 17:58:37 UTC] But the fighting style of 'murica is having the huge numbers looking scary then sending in a small unit of soldiers to actually do stuff [2013-11-08 17:58:44 UTC] I fucking hate how violent 'Murica is. [2013-11-08 17:59:03 UTC] But we kill SO MANY PEOPLE for NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL./ [2013-11-08 17:59:24 UTC] We just randomly attack a country every time the current war ends without even a real attempt at justification anymore. [2013-11-08 17:59:27 UTC] It's just absurd. [2013-11-08 17:59:42 UTC] I don't think there's ever a reason to kill anyone [2013-11-08 17:59:44 UTC] Ever. [2013-11-08 18:00:02 UTC] Well, if people attack your country and kill your family, you are pretty justified in shooting back. [2013-11-08 18:00:24 UTC] Yeah, but being justified isn't good enough for me [2013-11-08 18:00:38 UTC] But nobody has ever even MADE it to American soil to attack it, and yet we keep randomly attacking Asian and Middle Eastern countries like it's a good idea. [2013-11-08 18:01:14 UTC] "Dude, 9/11, don't want that to happen again. Pre-emtive strike" [2013-11-08 18:01:18 UTC] Okay, so, the people in Korea and Vietnam who were attacking and kill Americans for invading and murdering their people for no reason? They had EVERY right to kill those Americans. [2013-11-08 18:01:53 UTC] Okay, 9/11 had nothing to do with it. Iraq had no connection to the 9/11 attack. [2013-11-08 18:02:05 UTC] We just attacked them because our military was bored again. [2013-11-08 18:02:20 UTC] Nah, but they have pretty much the same skin colour. Justified. 'murica. [2013-11-08 18:02:32 UTC] I can't understand your latest long sentence [2013-11-08 18:03:05 UTC] I don't think people in America even really believe that, There are racists here, sure, but we DID elect a brown president, so obviously the racists aren't in control. [2013-11-08 18:03:41 UTC] We don't attack people for race, or money, or religion, or anything else like that. We attack people because we have a REALLY REALLY big military and it gets bored and wants to fight a lot. [2013-11-08 18:04:41 UTC] "Okay, so, the people in Korea and Vietnam..." can you type that in a different way so I can understand it? [2013-11-08 18:05:26 UTC] The soldiers from Korea and Vietnam who were fighting back against US invaders were justified and killing the US invaders. [2013-11-08 18:05:50 UTC] Because the US invaders were murdering their people for no reason at all. [2013-11-08 18:06:28 UTC] Ah, yeah [2013-11-08 18:06:37 UTC] North Korea exists for a reason. It's ENTIRELY America's fault. [2013-11-08 18:06:53 UTC] But doesn't shooting back just excite the American army more? [2013-11-08 18:06:55 UTC] There would be no North Korea if we weren't assholes to the rest of the world. [2013-11-08 18:07:27 UTC] No. It makes the American people really fucking angry at the US government. We had massive riots over here protesting those wars. [2013-11-08 18:07:41 UTC] The people are not on the same side as the military, trust me. [2013-11-08 18:08:16 UTC] Doesn't the whole democracy thing not work then? [2013-11-08 18:08:33 UTC] If everyone disagrees with the government [2013-11-08 18:08:38 UTC] It does work. The wars stopped because everyone complained about it too much. [2013-11-08 18:08:55 UTC] That doesn't stop the wars from *starting* though, unfortunately. [2013-11-08 18:09:27 UTC] Ah yeah, the protests and riots are against specific "wars" and not against wars in general [2013-11-08 18:09:38 UTC] the US is still in Iraq right now because hardly anyone is dying and nobody is complaining. If Iraq was fighting back like Korea or Vietnam we'd be long gone by now. [2013-11-08 18:10:57 UTC] The unfortunate fact is that people who voluntarily join the military are the worst people any country has to offer. They are the people who show up and say "Yes! Let my sign up! I want to go kill people!" :/ [2013-11-08 18:12:06 UTC] The only time you have an army made out of respectable and decent people is when you have a draft. [2013-11-08 18:12:26 UTC] Which is why American soldiers during WW2 (mostly drafted) were extremely nice to the countries they went to. [2013-11-08 18:12:54 UTC] And why the non-drafted soldiers in Iraq keep getting in trouble for raping and torturing people. [2013-11-08 18:13:21 UTC] Can you still get drafted in America? [2013-11-08 18:13:56 UTC] Technically yes, but practically no. We have to sign up for it, but any president would commit political suicide by starting a draft. [2013-11-08 18:14:18 UTC] Ah, logical [2013-11-08 18:14:43 UTC] In fact, he'd damn his whole political party. For example, if we had a republican president start a draft, we'd probably have democrat presidents for the next 50 years. [2013-11-08 18:15:06 UTC] Democracy! [2013-11-08 18:15:09 UTC] And the republican party would probably get replaced by another party, like the libertarians. [2013-11-08 18:15:27 UTC] Also, how much power does the president actually have? [2013-11-08 18:16:02 UTC] He used to have a lot, he's just a figurehead now. He's maybe twice as influential as any one congress member. [2013-11-08 18:16:03 UTC] Since how I see it is that it looks like he's just like a front figure for whatever party he's in [2013-11-08 18:16:40 UTC] The president here used to have a lot of special powers, but they were all taken away after presidents kept abusing them. [2013-11-08 18:16:40 UTC] So running for presidency is just for the honor and acquirings right? [2013-11-08 18:16:52 UTC] It's for your party, not for you. [2013-11-08 18:17:16 UTC] I mean, sure, you get to live in the White House, but it doesn't pay much more than any other office. [2013-11-08 18:17:36 UTC] I think a two star general makes more money than the president. [2013-11-08 18:17:45 UTC] Two star? [2013-11-08 18:18:08 UTC] there are levels of general, like one to five star, depending on how powerful they are. [2013-11-08 18:18:29 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 18:18:33 UTC] "Two Star" is a short way of saying "major general" I guess. [2013-11-08 18:19:03 UTC] We've apparently been chatting for over 2 hours now [2013-11-08 18:19:04 UTC] Just from the number of stars on their uniform indicating their rank. [2013-11-08 18:19:09 UTC] Unless I'm terrible at counting [2013-11-08 18:19:19 UTC] Well, I AM really drunk, and vodka makes me talkative. [2013-11-08 18:19:37 UTC] Woop woop [2013-11-08 18:19:55 UTC] It's not fun! I'm drunk because I can't afford my medication! [2013-11-08 18:19:57 UTC] I don't really have any reason, I'm just enjoying our little conversation [2013-11-08 18:20:02 UTC] And I'd kill myself or somebody else. [2013-11-08 18:20:07 UTC] If I didn't drink. [2013-11-08 18:20:16 UTC] Like literally, not joking, that would actually happen. [2013-11-08 18:20:29 UTC] That doesn't really sound like a good thing [2013-11-08 18:20:34 UTC] How much are your meds? [2013-11-08 18:20:53 UTC] Like 50 bucks a month. But I have literally no money at all. [2013-11-08 18:21:13 UTC] And whereas I can bum booze of people, I can't bum medication off of them. [2013-11-08 18:21:18 UTC] off people. [2013-11-08 18:21:29 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 18:22:17 UTC] Well, if I had any sort of income I could've helped you with the payment [2013-11-08 18:23:00 UTC] I just wish I could get a job already... I've gone to an average of 2 interviews a week for a year and a half now. Still no job. Bleh. [2013-11-08 18:23:32 UTC] Yeah, sucks [2013-11-08 18:23:54 UTC] Tried picking up something you can do on order? [2013-11-08 18:24:00 UTC] Can't remember the word for it [2013-11-08 18:24:15 UTC] I also tried to commit suicide, because that seemed like a good idea (still does) but people keep stopping me. [2013-11-08 18:24:29 UTC] Yeah, please don't [2013-11-08 18:24:51 UTC] I can't really understand what you're going through since my life is so fucking simple and paid for me [2013-11-08 18:24:52 UTC] Dude, if you were in this much physical pain all the time, you would want to be dead too. [2013-11-08 18:25:10 UTC] Probably [2013-11-08 18:25:16 UTC] You can understand. Imagine that you are in severe physical pain, now imagine it won't ever stop and you can't afford to fix it. [2013-11-08 18:25:31 UTC] Suicide starts to seem pretty cools. [2013-11-08 18:25:52 UTC] Dude, I'm depressed pretty much constantly [2013-11-08 18:25:56 UTC] I know your life sucks more [2013-11-08 18:26:05 UTC] But I still feel like offing myself [2013-11-08 18:26:16 UTC] I don't though, because I'd ruin the life of everyone around me [2013-11-08 18:26:21 UTC] I don't know if my life sucks more than yours or not, that's impossible to compare. [2013-11-08 18:27:00 UTC] People have different capacity for coping with things. It could be that I hardly have any problems realistically, but I have no willpower and can't handle it. I don't know. [2013-11-08 18:27:01 UTC] True [2013-11-08 18:27:47 UTC] But I KNOW that I have a good life [2013-11-08 18:27:49 UTC] I can't really blame somebody for being hurt by something more than I would be, or vice versa. [2013-11-08 18:27:55 UTC] You don't get to choose how strong you are. [2013-11-08 18:29:46 UTC] Well, if we are trying to compare objectively, nothing especially bad has happened to me. I just have neurological problems that won't go away. [2013-11-08 18:30:08 UTC] Yeah, and here I am without them [2013-11-08 18:30:20 UTC] So, I'm sure somebody out there who has been a sex slave for 15 years probably has it worse. [2013-11-08 18:30:39 UTC] Probably [2013-11-08 18:31:17 UTC] Dude, if you are depressed, and nothing especially bad has happened to you, you DO have neurological problems. [2013-11-08 18:31:31 UTC] That's pretty much the definition of neurological problems. [2013-11-08 18:32:00 UTC] And if Sweden has free medicine, go freakin' get some. [2013-11-08 18:32:13 UTC] Stuff works wonders for me when I can actually afford it. [2013-11-08 18:33:01 UTC] I'm not actually depressed though, it's just that I don't find suicide a bad option, if I were actually alone in the world [2013-11-08 18:33:26 UTC] Like, if I could kill myself and everyone who's ever known me would just forget about me, I'd probably do it [2013-11-08 18:33:35 UTC] If you think about suicide, you are depressed. Happy/normal people do not think about suicide. [2013-11-08 18:33:37 UTC] I'm not going to though, for everyone close to me [2013-11-08 18:33:52 UTC] Pretty sure the thought passes through most people's brains [2013-11-08 18:34:10 UTC] Okay, temporarily, when they are in horrifying pain. :/ [2013-11-08 18:34:30 UTC] But if you think about it when you're not sick/injured/your girlfriend just left you then you are depressed. [2013-11-08 18:35:12 UTC] I've talked to a lot of psychiatrists and doctors about it. [2013-11-08 18:35:49 UTC] I guess [2013-11-08 18:35:59 UTC] But the thing is I don't like to be in the way [2013-11-08 18:36:19 UTC] If that makes me depressed or if it's a side effect of being depressed I don't know [2013-11-08 18:36:49 UTC] Once again, if Sweden has free medicine, please go get some. I'd hate to think of somebody who has problems like I have that could fix them for free and just isn't doing it. [2013-11-08 18:36:50 UTC] Like, I just study the minimal I need in school so I don't stick out by either failing or getting too good grades [2013-11-08 18:37:14 UTC] But the thing is I need like a prescription to get emotional-stuff medicine [2013-11-08 18:37:21 UTC] I assume, atleast [2013-11-08 18:37:26 UTC] Eh, I think it's both, I have the same problem, I am a burden on everyone around me, and that's why I'm depressed, but it started because of the physical pain that prevents me from not being a burden. [2013-11-08 18:37:42 UTC] Getting a prescription is very easy. [2013-11-08 18:38:12 UTC] Go to doctor. Tell doctor you are depressed, explain actual feelings of depression. Don't lie about it and say you are happy when you aren't. They then give you pills! [2013-11-08 18:38:15 UTC] It's like magic! [2013-11-08 18:38:33 UTC] At least in the US that's how it works. [2013-11-08 18:38:41 UTC] There is no test. [2013-11-08 18:38:48 UTC] Yeah, it'd probably work here as well [2013-11-08 18:38:52 UTC] Only you could know for sure if you're really depressed or not. [2013-11-08 18:39:05 UTC] It's not like the doctor is going to call you a liar and tell you to go away... ;/ [2013-11-08 18:39:21 UTC] I'm pretty sure I'm not depressed though [2013-11-08 18:39:39 UTC] If I ever actually consider suicide I will contact someone [2013-11-08 18:39:59 UTC] Like, I can live on being as "depressed" as I am right now, but if it goes to an extreme I'll try to get help [2013-11-08 18:40:12 UTC] Dude, you are talking about suicide. Happy people don't. I mean, I can't know for sure if you're really depressed or not, only you can, but at least give it a lot of thought. [2013-11-08 18:40:34 UTC] There's no reason to be "kind of sad all the time" if you could be "not at all sad all the time" for free. [2013-11-08 18:41:04 UTC] But the thing is to get the not-sad-constantly-free I need to go out of my way in life [2013-11-08 18:41:14 UTC] I say this out of experience, because good god I want to have more medication. [2013-11-08 18:41:28 UTC] I'm actually considering robbing people to afford the medication. [2013-11-08 18:42:02 UTC] I have the capability of paying your meds for you [2013-11-08 18:42:15 UTC] Going to a doctor for 30 minutes isn't exactly 'out of your way'... [2013-11-08 18:42:18 UTC] As in, just from studying Sweden pays me about 175USD a month [2013-11-08 18:42:40 UTC] But for me it is going out of my way, since I consider kind-of-sad a better path [2013-11-08 18:42:51 UTC] <-- super jelly of people in socialist countries. [2013-11-08 18:42:55 UTC] And there are probably people who need the [2013-11-08 18:43:03 UTC] doctor more than me [2013-11-08 18:43:13 UTC] Dude... It's 30 minutes D: [2013-11-08 18:43:16 UTC] Once. [2013-11-08 18:43:18 UTC] Ever. [2013-11-08 18:43:21 UTC] Then medication. [2013-11-08 18:43:25 UTC] forever. [2013-11-08 18:43:36 UTC] But the idea of being on medication scares me too [2013-11-08 18:43:56 UTC] You don't have to keep taking it if it causes you a problem, you know. [2013-11-08 18:44:12 UTC] I had one medication that made me SUPER CRAZY AS FUCK. So you know what? I stopped taking it. [2013-11-08 18:44:15 UTC] Problem solved. [2013-11-08 18:44:29 UTC] I don't ever drink alcohol because I don't like not being in control of my body [2013-11-08 18:44:46 UTC] So the idea of taking medicines that are made to basicly make me happy scares me [2013-11-08 18:44:50 UTC] It's basicly what I don't want [2013-11-08 18:45:13 UTC] And taking medicine that makes you crazy doesn't scare me. If I can notice the effects I can stop [2013-11-08 18:45:23 UTC] I used to think like that, then the pain started, and all of the sudden alcohol is my best friend! I've never gotten drunk "for fun" in my life. It's always just in lieu of medication, because being drunk is better than being suicidal. [2013-11-08 18:45:58 UTC] Well, I got to go now. Dinner and stuff [2013-11-08 18:46:03 UTC] I will miss you. [2013-11-08 18:46:08 UTC] DON'T FORGET ME. [2013-11-08 18:46:17 UTC] I'll be back at some point, I promise baby [2013-11-08 18:47:00 UTC] Also, if I gave you 50$ because of reasons for medicine, would you just accept it? [2013-11-08 18:48:13 UTC] Dude, I would steal 50 bucks from you if I could so I could afford it. Yes, I would just accept it. [2013-11-08 18:49:05 UTC] Morals don't seem very important to people who really, really need medication. [2013-11-08 18:53:16 UTC] In fact, if killing an innocent person would make me feel normal for the rest of my life, I would do so without hesitation. I would regret it forever, to be sure, but it would be better than this. Lucky for innocent people, me killing them would not benefit me in any way. [2013-11-08 18:55:53 UTC] That sure was dark. To think I used to think the same way as you, and even said the same things as you, about not wanting to hurt people/get in the way/thinking killing is always unacceptable. More than anything about this depression, I hate how terrible of a person it's made me into. I used to be so nice... :( [2013-11-08 19:12:58 UTC] That is pretty dark, but understandable [2013-11-08 19:13:23 UTC] The question is then what is the minimum amount of pain-free time you would consider worth killing for [2013-11-08 19:14:03 UTC] As in, could you live with yourself if you had to kill a person a year to get rid of the pain etc [2013-11-08 19:18:27 UTC] Also, can you check more exactly how much your meds cost, and I'll pay for them [2013-11-08 19:19:00 UTC] This is all purely speculative, but I believe a human life generally has the same value. So trading one other person's life for mine is fair if not cruel, and I would consider it equivalent. I don't think I'm worth more than two people though, so I would only ever kill one other person solely to continue my own existence. [2013-11-08 19:20:12 UTC] That's logical [2013-11-08 19:21:15 UTC] I would generally always do whatever kills the fewest people though. I would always trade one person's life for two, assuming I didn't know any of them. Whether it meant pushing somebody in front of a train or leaving them to die through inaction. [2013-11-08 19:22:12 UTC] In a purely hypothetical scenario, of course, there could be a lot of factors to something like that. [2013-11-08 19:22:27 UTC] Like, I totally hate the two people. [2013-11-08 19:22:55 UTC] I would like to point out that the US has higher income after taxes and a lower cost of living than swedena [2013-11-08 19:23:08 UTC] and that sweden's economic growth stopped when they introduced their socialist taxes [2013-11-08 19:23:17 UTC] clear evidence communism doesnt work. [2013-11-08 19:23:49 UTC] Yes, life sucks if you're rich in Sweden, but if you're poor the state pays for your shit [2013-11-08 19:24:00 UTC] By raising the taxes [2013-11-08 19:24:00 UTC] well [2013-11-08 19:24:01 UTC] uhhh [2013-11-08 19:24:02 UTC] ... [2013-11-08 19:24:06 UTC] my sister [2013-11-08 19:24:11 UTC] gets free college [2013-11-08 19:24:14 UTC] at the freaking UW [2013-11-08 19:24:16 UTC] me too [2013-11-08 19:24:22 UTC] and we get food stamps [2013-11-08 19:24:23 UTC] .... [2013-11-08 19:24:33 UTC] College, what age is that? [2013-11-08 19:24:37 UTC] Dude, I don't care about that, I already said earlier in the conversation that the government system isn't sustainable, but it works RIGHT NOW for the poor people, and I don't care what happens to the country in the future, I care about what happens to *me* [2013-11-08 19:24:39 UTC] what? [2013-11-08 19:24:54 UTC] How old are you when you go to college? [2013-11-08 19:24:58 UTC] well my mother like had a $4000 hospital bill recently [2013-11-08 19:25:01 UTC] and we got it for free [2013-11-08 19:25:08 UTC] well i just turned 18, and im 18... [2013-11-08 19:25:09 UTC] so... [2013-11-08 19:25:10 UTC] Yeah, well, you and your sister aren't white, which means it's really easy to get free stuff in 'Murica. [2013-11-08 19:25:17 UTC] but the normal age is 18 i guess [2013-11-08 19:25:19 UTC] Hospitals are literally always free in Sweden [2013-11-08 19:25:23 UTC] and we are white so much fial [2013-11-08 19:25:30 UTC] well but i mean [2013-11-08 19:25:34 UTC] rich in the US > rich in sweden [2013-11-08 19:25:42 UTC] Uhhh... aren't you Malaysian? [2013-11-08 19:25:43 UTC] Yeah, SRAW, I'm 18, and in college. My college is free and I get paid to go there [2013-11-08 19:25:44 UTC] poor in the US <= sweden [2013-11-08 19:25:45 UTC] so it's close [2013-11-08 19:25:52 UTC] what the fuck i lived in malaysia [2013-11-08 19:25:55 UTC] get your dick straight [2013-11-08 19:25:56 UTC] noob [2013-11-08 19:26:11 UTC] Malaysia doesn't even exist, get real kid [2013-11-08 19:26:21 UTC] well malaysia was actually fun if you were malay [2013-11-08 19:26:26 UTC] you get even moar benefits or soemthing [2013-11-08 19:26:29 UTC] When the hell would? Alright now I'm very confused. I thought I saw a picure of you once, I do not remember a white person. [2013-11-08 19:26:30 UTC] you should read up aaronjers [2013-11-08 19:26:37 UTC] what da fark [2013-11-08 19:26:41 UTC] well i am white... [2013-11-08 19:26:42 UTC] you fail [2013-11-08 19:26:46 UTC] and my close is starting in 4 minutes [2013-11-08 19:26:49 UTC] class* [2013-11-08 19:26:49 UTC] I believe you, I'm just very confused. [2013-11-08 19:26:50 UTC] >>>_< [2013-11-08 19:27:07 UTC] be confused, and i gotta go for class, so yeah... i'll respond in about 3 hours when i get home i gueSs [2013-11-08 19:27:15 UTC] Oi, Arr-on, I want to pay for your meds, tell me price! [2013-11-08 19:27:30 UTC] Oh, SRAW, my favorite troll. [2013-11-08 19:27:50 UTC] Is he actually trying or is his attempts at regular communication failing? [2013-11-08 19:27:59 UTC] I honestly have no idea if he is white or not. There's no way to know with him. [2013-11-08 19:28:12 UTC] Oh, no, he trolls on purpose, all the time, he is the official forum troll. [2013-11-08 19:28:51 UTC] I'm pretty sure the only reason he still comes here is because no other forum would ever put up with how much of an asshole he is. [2013-11-08 19:28:59 UTC] But I LIKE assholes, so he's safe here. [2013-11-08 19:29:46 UTC] But, it's like this forum is the second least asshole place on the internet I "socialise" on [2013-11-08 19:29:46 UTC] Well, my meds as I seds, are about 50 USD a month. I don't know how you would pay for them though, but I'm sure you could figure something out with your giant brain. [2013-11-08 19:30:09 UTC] I can transfer cash to paypal then to you and hope you don't buy like crack cocaine or something [2013-11-08 19:30:35 UTC] The reason why it's so unasshole is because there aren't any rules about anything, so nobody ever gets mad, except when they get mad at SRAW, which they then get mocked for. [2013-11-08 19:31:19 UTC] Illegal drugs and alcohol are nowhere near as effective as the legal ones. I really have no reason to take them if I can afford what is prescribed to me. [2013-11-08 19:31:36 UTC] Wasn't there rule about no child porn or something? [2013-11-08 19:31:42 UTC] ................................. [2013-11-08 19:31:46 UTC] dude.... that's a law. [2013-11-08 19:31:50 UTC] I don't have any control over that :/ [2013-11-08 19:31:55 UTC] Pft, laws [2013-11-08 19:32:01 UTC] that's like needing to point out that you can't murder people in the library. [2013-11-08 19:32:18 UTC] It's fine if there's no loud sounds [2013-11-08 19:33:01 UTC] You can go ahead and post child porn on here if you want to, and whether or not I do anything about it, it will get removed and the site might get shut down. [2013-11-08 19:33:28 UTC] Hmm... True and probable. [2013-11-08 19:33:54 UTC] I mean, I'd be all for having a jailbait section if I thought we could get away with it. [2013-11-08 19:34:55 UTC] But 'Murica has very high age requirements compared to most countries for all those dirty sexual things. [2013-11-08 19:35:31 UTC] It's 15 in Sweden, if you're doing it with someone of a different age [2013-11-08 19:35:42 UTC] If both parts are the same age under 15 it's fine [2013-11-08 19:35:58 UTC] Laws about adulthood here are pretty strongly enforced and take forever to go away. Like you kind of are an adult when you are 18, but not really, then you're more of an adult when you're 21, but still not really, and then you're ACTUALLY an adult when you're 25. [2013-11-08 19:36:19 UTC] There is no legal way to have sex under 16 years old in the US. [2013-11-08 19:36:20 UTC] At all. [2013-11-08 19:36:47 UTC] If you're over 16 your partner has to be less than 5 years older than you. [2013-11-08 19:37:00 UTC] So baby-mamas is actually illegal? [2013-11-08 19:37:27 UTC] Under 16, yeah. But it's the parents that get punished if both are under 16, generally, not the kids. [2013-11-08 19:37:43 UTC] Logical. [2013-11-08 19:37:45 UTC] Wait, no. [2013-11-08 19:38:15 UTC] If something dirty is going on with people over 16 then it's always the guys fault, generally. [2013-11-08 19:39:04 UTC] As far as marriage and sex and divorce and children are concerned, men have virtually no rights in the courtroom. The woman always wins by default. [2013-11-08 19:39:32 UTC] Femenism! [2013-11-08 19:39:57 UTC] Transfered about 51$ to my paypal. It'll take about 3-4 days for it to arrive, then I can send it to you [2013-11-08 19:40:42 UTC] And then I'll give you nothing. Because I don't have anything. But I would if I could. [2013-11-08 19:41:07 UTC] I wasn't really expecting anything in return [2013-11-08 19:41:17 UTC] So, don't worry [2013-11-08 19:41:40 UTC] And you probably won't even remember this so I can't even abuse this later for power, shit >:( [2013-11-08 19:41:48 UTC] I mean, men still win in the big picture. We get paid more and don't get raped nearly as often, which is probably better than courtroom marriage rights, but its still annoying. [2013-11-08 19:41:59 UTC] You'd have financial records. [2013-11-08 19:42:49 UTC] I would consider women to have better rights than men if getting drafted was practical, since only men have to sign up for the draft, but as things stand it doesn't really matter that they don't have to. [2013-11-08 19:43:15 UTC] Not that it matters for me anymore, being well above draft age. [2013-11-08 19:43:42 UTC] Only kill the young people! Because THAT makes sense! :/ [2013-11-08 19:43:57 UTC] Wouldn't it be better to kill the older people first, because they have less life to lose? [2013-11-08 19:44:53 UTC] Like those really old asian people who took strong radiation straight to the body to test medicine and stuff against radiation [2013-11-08 19:45:05 UTC] But the real reason is that young people are stupid and make better soldiers, because you can't really convince a 30 year old to charge an enemy position as easily as you can get a stupid teenager to do it. [2013-11-08 19:45:35 UTC] Yeah. Also young soldiers look better on posters and pictures as well [2013-11-08 19:45:42 UTC] You can use them for better propaganda [2013-11-08 19:46:41 UTC] Also, as it turns out, it's just as easy to convince women to run headlong into death as it is men, so there's really no reason for the whole 'men-only' draft thing a lot of countries have. [2013-11-08 19:47:04 UTC] I mean, you can't have a co-ed military, that just doesn't work at all, but there's no reason you couldn't have a men's military and a women's military. [2013-11-08 19:48:06 UTC] I can't believe Israel ever even tried to have men and women serving in actual combat together... so stupid... at least the figured it out before more than a few thousand people were killed by it. [2013-11-08 19:48:25 UTC] The Swedish army is co-ed. [2013-11-08 19:48:44 UTC] To be fair it's like 5% women [2013-11-08 19:48:51 UTC] Sure, lots of armies say they are, but when fighting starts, the women are nowhere to be found. [2013-11-08 19:49:23 UTC] Do you know why? Because men get REALLY stupid when they think women are in danger, and get themselves killed in hormone induced acts of heroism. [2013-11-08 19:49:29 UTC] This is Sweden. This is the country that went "We're on whatever side wins" during both the world wars [2013-11-08 19:50:02 UTC] My sister worked in the army in submarines [2013-11-08 19:50:05 UTC] When Israel started putting women on the front lines they did perfectly fine, but the casualty rate for men absolutely skyrockted. [2013-11-08 19:50:13 UTC] There's not really anywhere to hide then if you get attacked [2013-11-08 19:51:03 UTC] That's probably true, but it's what they've seen in movies and heard about in fairy tales and stuff [2013-11-08 19:51:07 UTC] Well, women work fine in combat situations as long as they are distanced from the men in some way. Or if its a "You all die at the same time" thing like a submarine. [2013-11-08 19:51:24 UTC] So, like, a female jet pilot is fine. [2013-11-08 19:51:52 UTC] But female infantry provoke stupid men into doing stupid things. [2013-11-08 19:51:59 UTC] "There's a boogy on my tail!" 5 male allied planes crash into eachother at the same time to help her [2013-11-08 19:52:04 UTC] And all men get stupid when they see women in danger. [2013-11-08 19:52:18 UTC] So, is that genetical or about upbringing then? [2013-11-08 19:52:24 UTC] Nah, the people flying fighters are all high ranking trained officers. [2013-11-08 19:52:40 UTC] They wouldn't do something stupid like a grunt would. [2013-11-08 19:52:51 UTC] And you also can't actually SEE the woman in danger. [2013-11-08 19:52:57 UTC] Which makes a huge difference. [2013-11-08 19:53:06 UTC] I'm pretty sure it is genetic and culture. [2013-11-08 19:53:07 UTC] Both. [2013-11-08 19:53:53 UTC] Automatically just because men are bigger than women they will be more protective of them, because humans tend towards protecting things that are weaker than them. [2013-11-08 19:54:17 UTC] Like, a bigger and older girl will also protect younger and smaller girls instinctively. [2013-11-08 19:54:44 UTC] And puppies. Fucking adorable puppies [2013-11-08 19:54:56 UTC] As in the swearing and not the verb, by the way [2013-11-08 19:55:09 UTC] Can't it be both? [2013-11-08 19:56:24 UTC] Pretty sure it can't be gramatically [2013-11-08 19:56:30 UTC] Fucking fucking puppies is fine [2013-11-08 19:56:40 UTC] Otherwise it's a pun, I think [2013-11-08 19:57:19 UTC] It's pretty funny, because for thousands of years women were always kept out of combat because they were legitimately shitty at it compared to men, and now that everything is equalized by technology they still can't serve on the front lines because men are too dumb. [2013-11-08 19:57:46 UTC] They just can't win! [2013-11-08 19:58:54 UTC] So can't men either, trying to get women to fight wars [2013-11-08 19:59:46 UTC] I don't think very many men are trying to get women to fight wars. [2013-11-08 20:00:24 UTC] I'd like less of everyone to fight wars, so I'm not going to start encouraging women just because the gender ratio is skewed. [2013-11-08 20:01:51 UTC] In fact, Dead Kings, that game thing I'm making (or was making until my anxiety got too strong), very strongly discourages physical combat by women. [2013-11-08 20:03:34 UTC] I just went with the actual numbers I took from the average of several tests to determine strength scores for men and women in the game... and as a result women fare *very* poorly in the combat system. [2013-11-08 20:04:14 UTC] Ah yeah, that game, I remember that [2013-11-08 20:04:22 UTC] It looked pretty cool [2013-11-08 20:04:28 UTC] Although a woman with a light crossbow is as good as a man with a light crossbow! But aaaanything else... [2013-11-08 20:05:26 UTC] Why is it in fiction that women are always archers? With, like, regular bows? A regular bow is the worst weapon you could possibly choose as a woman, if you're using pre-gunpowder weapons, its the weapon, of all melee and ranged weapons, that relies the most on upper body strength. [2013-11-08 20:08:15 UTC] Sometimes I like to pretend I'm able to work on it more. Because it's hard to consider not finishing it after getting so much of it done... [2013-11-08 20:08:26 UTC] How far done are you? [2013-11-08 20:08:32 UTC] But then I remember that I can't focus on anything, and everything sucks. [2013-11-08 20:08:50 UTC] Also, the archer thing, probably because then they won't be in any direct danger [2013-11-08 20:08:55 UTC] Well... it's playable? You can run around and do stuff, although right now only the main character can die XD [2013-11-08 20:09:07 UTC] lol [2013-11-08 20:09:30 UTC] Yeah, but in actual history, women tended to use spears when they were in combat. [2013-11-08 20:10:03 UTC] You'd think it'd be based on history, in which no woman ever proved her amazing prowess with a fucking bow... :/ [2013-11-08 20:10:27 UTC] To be fair, not very many women have ever proved amazing prowess with any weapon [2013-11-08 20:10:32 UTC] Like, in Japan, there were entire professional regiments of women with naginatas. [2013-11-08 20:10:47 UTC] And they were about as dangerous as the men, since the Japanese were too stupid to wear real armor. [2013-11-08 20:11:32 UTC] And the extra strength as a man helps you penetrate armor... which doesn't matter much when samurai don't ever actually wear any that isn't just for show. [2013-11-08 20:11:41 UTC] Or... I dunno, ever even think to use a shield. [2013-11-08 20:11:55 UTC] Like... seriously... Japan never figured out 'the shield'.... [2013-11-08 20:12:01 UTC] How is that even possible? [2013-11-08 20:12:05 UTC] Pfft, how can you die easily in battle then? [2013-11-08 20:12:30 UTC] Dying of old age used to be a negative thing in Japan if it was during war time [2013-11-08 20:12:46 UTC] Yeah, but don't you want to close with your enemy and die in glorious melee? Not get killed immediately by arrows two seconds into the fight? [2013-11-08 20:13:09 UTC] Because that's what happened to most samurai... [2013-11-08 20:13:24 UTC] Arrows were super OP in Japan. [2013-11-08 20:13:45 UTC] It also didn't really occur to them to get on horses and then fight on those horses. [2013-11-08 20:13:53 UTC] LIKE WHAT THE HELL JAPAN! [2013-11-08 20:14:12 UTC] Samurai would come up to each other in battle, DISMOUNT and then fight. [2013-11-08 20:14:16 UTC] DX [2013-11-08 20:14:22 UTC] WHY. [2013-11-08 20:15:27 UTC] HORSES HAVE NO HONOR [2013-11-08 20:15:37 UTC] It's funny because you see it in their culture everywhere, even when somebody in Japan makes a fictional series that takes place in medieval times outside of Japan, nobody ever has a shield. [2013-11-08 20:16:14 UTC] In katanagatari there's a dude who has an entire western armor thing [2013-11-08 20:16:43 UTC] http://static.zerochan.net/Katanagatari.full.742577.jpg [2013-11-08 20:17:02 UTC] But, yeah, no shield [2013-11-08 20:17:06 UTC] I mean, I'm sure there are examples of shields here and there, but could you even imagine a non-Japanese series in a medieval setting having a complete shield deficiency? [2013-11-08 20:17:10 UTC] Atleast he has some functional armor to be fair [2013-11-08 20:17:27 UTC] Nope [2013-11-08 20:17:44 UTC] I can cite a lot of examples too, like Berserk, which takes it's combat pretty serious and gritty, and is very European. [2013-11-08 20:17:47 UTC] That would be like having a spaghetti-western without guns [2013-11-08 20:17:58 UTC] And NOBODY has a shield. [2013-11-08 20:18:04 UTC] In ALL of berserk. Ever. [2013-11-08 20:18:20 UTC] When I watched it the first time, years ago, I was completely confused by it. [2013-11-08 20:18:34 UTC] It's when I first started noticing that Japanese people don't know what shields are. [2013-11-08 20:19:21 UTC] Nah, in anime it's correct [2013-11-08 20:19:30 UTC] When the japanese makes games they know 'bout it [2013-11-08 20:19:44 UTC] I guess as a less serious example there is Slayers. I can't think of any character that has a shield. [2013-11-08 20:20:17 UTC] Fairly certain I've seen anime with shields [2013-11-08 20:20:40 UTC] That's true, but Japanese games were based pretty heavily on games that already existed outside of Japan, which is probably why shields ocurred to them. [2013-11-08 20:20:59 UTC] Not to mention how man "Japanese" game companies aren't actually Japanese at all. [2013-11-08 20:21:02 UTC] Maybe [2013-11-08 20:21:12 UTC] I'm looking at you, Sega. >:| [2013-11-08 20:21:22 UTC] Stop pretending you are Japanese, Sega. [2013-11-08 20:21:24 UTC] i cant believe you 2 love birds are still talking [2013-11-08 20:21:33 UTC] i just finished my class too [2013-11-08 20:21:35 UTC] Hey, I went for dinner a while back [2013-11-08 20:21:35 UTC] it wuz fun [2013-11-08 20:21:37 UTC] We were making out for a while. [2013-11-08 20:21:40 UTC] But we got tired. [2013-11-08 20:21:44 UTC] also i am white [2013-11-08 20:21:49 UTC] my name is freaking Ian Parr [2013-11-08 20:21:50 UTC] if that isnt white [2013-11-08 20:21:52 UTC] i dont know what is [2013-11-08 20:22:05 UTC] Lots of Asians have Western names. [2013-11-08 20:22:20 UTC] Especially the ones that know English. [2013-11-08 20:22:24 UTC] cant tell if trolling or just dumb... [2013-11-08 20:22:26 UTC] :( [2013-11-08 20:22:37 UTC] how do i know you arent an asian [2013-11-08 20:22:38 UTC] ? [2013-11-08 20:22:55 UTC] I mean, I know a Japanese guy, who was born in Japan, and Japanese is his first language, and his name is Ray Pencil. [2013-11-08 20:23:28 UTC] He is also the FAMOUS INTERNET PERSONALITY SAKUPEN. [2013-11-08 20:23:29 UTC] Is his surname Pencil? [2013-11-08 20:23:34 UTC] Yes. [2013-11-08 20:23:49 UTC] I'd laugh then I realized my surname is Swedish for "Caged Man" [2013-11-08 20:23:49 UTC] His parents changed their family last name to a random English word. [2013-11-08 20:24:03 UTC] Because... uh... Japanese people choose random English words for a lot of things. [2013-11-08 20:24:33 UTC] Kinda like every non-asian gets random japanese/chinese words tattoo'd on them [2013-11-08 20:24:40 UTC] My last name is English for nothing at all, because names in 'Murica don't mean shit. [2013-11-08 20:24:46 UTC] Yeah, like that. [2013-11-08 20:25:17 UTC] I have 2 surnames. My first means Caged Man, my second means Oscar's Son [2013-11-08 20:25:56 UTC] Then Sweden has some surnames that are combinations of natural objects, like my friend's surname is VillageMountain [2013-11-08 20:26:09 UTC] WineBranch [2013-11-08 20:26:10 UTC] so does english [2013-11-08 20:26:22 UTC] stop trying to pass off sweden as the most amazing country in the worlda [2013-11-08 20:26:25 UTC] and all that crap [2013-11-08 20:26:27 UTC] communist GTFO [2013-11-08 20:26:41 UTC] Mother Russia will hear about this [2013-11-08 20:26:43 UTC] You see? Always trolling, isn't he great? :D [2013-11-08 20:27:07 UTC] :D [2013-11-08 20:27:14 UTC] I would sacrifice a cute adorable animal to keep SRAW here. [2013-11-08 20:27:34 UTC] im serious though [2013-11-08 20:27:38 UTC] The best is when somebody gets legit mad at him, like DR has managed to do more than once... soooo awesome. [2013-11-08 20:27:39 UTC] the US economic system [2013-11-08 20:27:41 UTC] is way better than weden [2013-11-08 20:27:49 UTC] Yeah, but you' [2013-11-08 20:27:56 UTC] re being a dick about it, and that's what we love. [2013-11-08 20:28:08 UTC] uh.. [2013-11-08 20:28:14 UTC] i suggest you visit any right wing website [2013-11-08 20:28:19 UTC] you would see they are way more dickier about it [2013-11-08 20:28:29 UTC] honestly AJ so much fail [2013-11-08 20:28:43 UTC] I <3 you so much. Why won't you ever come hang out. [2013-11-08 20:29:01 UTC] well from what i know you apparently live in bellingham...

[2013-11-08 20:29:23 UTC] I don't live in Bellingham. [2013-11-08 20:29:30 UTC] oh snap... [2013-11-08 20:29:37 UTC] well im only 18 too [2013-11-08 20:29:38 UTC] you're like [2013-11-08 20:29:41 UTC] 30 something [2013-11-08 20:29:41 UTC] ... [2013-11-08 20:29:42 UTC] Livin' da life on foodstamps, braggin' 'bout dat ca$h [2013-11-08 20:29:50 UTC] well [2013-11-08 20:29:56 UTC] the house i live in has only 1 floor [2013-11-08 20:30:00 UTC] but my father was apparently offered [2013-11-08 20:30:02 UTC] $1 million [2013-11-08 20:30:05 UTC] 10 years older than you? Yeah, I'm not going to rape you, dude, I'm not gay enough. [2013-11-08 20:30:07 UTC] for it during the height of the housing market... [2013-11-08 20:30:19 UTC] so yeah [2013-11-08 20:30:24 UTC] we live in like the uber rich area [2013-11-08 20:30:24 UTC] :D [2013-11-08 20:30:38 UTC] u jelly aaronjer [2013-11-08 20:30:40 UTC] HE IS [2013-11-08 20:30:49 UTC] and also im going to stop talking to you since i have to do my java homework [2013-11-08 20:30:55 UTC] :/ see you in 2 hours [2013-11-08 20:30:56 UTC] Aaron doesn't stick his dick into everything, just most things [2013-11-08 20:30:56 UTC] Uhhhhhh... can I have 50 bucks so I can buy drugs? :D [2013-11-08 20:31:16 UTC] Which one of us are you talking to? [2013-11-08 20:31:28 UTC] SRAW, he said he had money. [2013-11-08 20:31:32 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 20:31:45 UTC] Guess you could mug him if he came over [2013-11-08 20:31:59 UTC] I don't know why he won't come hang out. He's like, right there, and we have huge LAN parties with a very large age range, larger than how much older than him I am. [2013-11-08 20:32:35 UTC] I'd come visit you guys if I were close [2013-11-08 20:32:48 UTC] Also, how large? [2013-11-08 20:32:57 UTC] Well, if you ever come to Washington and you don't visit I will never forgive you. [2013-11-08 20:33:26 UTC] It's hard to tell from cycling people, since the LANs are usually more than a week long, but I think we had like 12 people for several days once. [2013-11-08 20:33:34 UTC] Like... 2 LANs ago? [2013-11-08 20:34:06 UTC] Huge LAN party, as in it lasts a long time, and is a lot of people for one house, I guess. [2013-11-08 20:34:06 UTC] How far away are you from Washington? [2013-11-08 20:34:14 UTC] It works because SJ's house is huge. [2013-11-08 20:34:17 UTC] I don't US maps [2013-11-08 20:34:18 UTC] Washington state. [2013-11-08 20:34:27 UTC] So the top left one of the america. [2013-11-08 20:34:28 UTC] Ah [2013-11-08 20:34:52 UTC] Less than an hour from Seattle, the only city anyone cares about in this state. [2013-11-08 20:34:57 UTC] How far top left America? The frozen one by Canada? [2013-11-08 20:35:23 UTC] No, the real part of America, nobody gives a shit about all the islands and other territories and crap. [2013-11-08 20:35:44 UTC] I mean good god damn does America have way the fuck too many Pacific islands. [2013-11-08 20:35:50 UTC] Oh, yeah, America means U.S.A, not America [2013-11-08 20:35:51 UTC] What even the hell are we doing with all those islands. [2013-11-08 20:36:00 UTC] Collecting [2013-11-08 20:36:04 UTC] Gotta catch 'em all [2013-11-08 20:37:02 UTC] WE GOTTA HOLD ONTO GUAM! Because... uh.... [2013-11-08 20:37:04 UTC] because... [2013-11-08 20:37:10 UTC] ...Guam... [2013-11-08 20:37:46 UTC] I don't even think Guam exists because it's such a strange name [2013-11-08 20:37:49 UTC] I guess it makes sense, we freed them from the Japanese, and they never actually told us to leave... [2013-11-08 20:38:00 UTC] So we're just still there! [2013-11-08 20:38:48 UTC] Well, that and the fact that their economy is based entirely on US tourism and the US military... [2013-11-08 20:38:52 UTC] That's OK though, like some countries that still count like British colonies just so they have a cooler flag and stuff [2013-11-08 20:39:23 UTC] Well, all of those are fake, the Brits have no power in those places, but America actually does own Guam for reals. [2013-11-08 20:39:31 UTC] And practically every other island in the Pacific. [2013-11-08 20:41:51 UTC] Which version of every other do you mean? [2013-11-08 20:42:00 UTC] ~100% or 50%? [2013-11-08 20:42:27 UTC] You choose, have fun with it., [2013-11-08 20:42:40 UTC] By that I mean "a lot" don't quantify my shit, dog. [2013-11-08 20:42:49 UTC] I'm qualifying shit here. [2013-11-08 20:42:54 UTC] Hmm. the demographics for Guam are interesting. Steady population increase of around 10-20% for as long as the census was recorded... [2013-11-08 20:43:09 UTC] Then in the 40's EVERYBODY HAD SEX WITH EVERYONE 166% INCREASE. [2013-11-08 20:43:14 UTC] Then back to normal. [2013-11-08 20:44:25 UTC] Woo, sex [2013-11-08 20:44:26 UTC] I think [2013-11-08 20:44:58 UTC] I'm going to run the smite.exe without having it actually installed and hope it works [2013-11-08 20:46:07 UTC] Nope, crash [2013-11-08 20:46:16 UTC] Also my graphic card driver updater crashed [2013-11-08 20:47:49 UTC] All of that would have been one word in Swedish [2013-11-08 20:50:07 UTC] Which word? [2013-11-08 20:51:07 UTC] graphic card driver updater would be Grafikkortsdrivrutinsupdaterare [2013-11-08 20:51:43 UTC] That's just a German style "stick all the words together in a line and pretend its a new word" word. [2013-11-08 20:51:55 UTC] That's cheating, according to SuperJer. [2013-11-08 20:52:12 UTC] Yep. The words are slightly modefied though to make it sound better [2013-11-08 20:52:55 UTC] As in card's instead of card. Drivers' instead of drivers [2013-11-08 20:53:00 UTC] Well, at least you understand that your country is a bunch of god damn word cheaters. [2013-11-08 20:53:07 UTC] Absolutely [2013-11-08 20:54:00 UTC] It ruins the game of trying to find the longest word in the language [2013-11-08 20:54:17 UTC] Because you can just add something at the end of it and be like "I'm the lord" [2013-11-08 20:57:33 UTC] Going to the store with SuperJer so I can watch him buy food he will eat. [2013-11-08 20:57:36 UTC] Be back later. [2013-11-08 20:57:58 UTC] Bye my love [2013-11-08 21:17:08 UTC] I just read all of this and all y'all need to get a room but first aaronjer needs to get some drugs so I'll probably throw money at him at dinner tonight.
