I don't even know how to begin responding to something like this. I'm not going to click the link because 1) I'm at work and 2) I really don't want to see whatever it is. I do not feel... good.

oops

I'm not pedantic! You are!

I got 13/15 so I'm better than all of you at this apparently bullshit test? I'm inclined to believe it's bullshit if only because it doesn't tell you what you got wrong. (Confession: I did look up the term "pluperfect" because I'd literally never heard it before, but I instantly knew what "past perfect" meant, so I didn't feel too bad.) It also reminds me that even though I know Well Grammar good enough, I don't really care anymore and mostly just write the worst fucking sentences when communicating... on forums for example. EDIT: Nice me and tberton are the best together. EDITIEDIT: SORRY I MEANT TBERTON AND I EEDIT^3: I picked literally all wrong answers - even on the few that I wasn't 100% sure about, I could identify one answer that was obviously wrong - and got 14/15. I think the trick is the website reads your mind to grade your grammar, and answering the questions is just the tunnel through which it reaches your brainspace. And since I didn't have to look up pluperfect the second time around, it knew I was better.

GRA{{:OMG JOKSD THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY GRAPPLING HOOKS I didn't play the new game mode because I didn't have the beta downloaded, but I did collect some... ducks? Okay.

I feel bad for similar reasons. But everyone just said "send something you think is cool" so I did, even though I may be the only person in the world who actually thinks it's cool. ):

Yes, the cost has generally been the largest factor in my lack of action. I do have insurance but I'm pretty sure it won't make it free, and I don't make much. I mean I make enough to live, obviously, but.

Hey me too with the caveat that I am not seeing a therapist, I am just conscious of it! I want/need to see a therapist, though. I think. I mean I've come to that conclusion at least forty seven different times, but then I never make the effort to find one.

There are never enough dwarves in anything.

I dunno. I've participated, and I feel quite healthy!

It's not the closed party doing the shunning*, it's the someone joining the discussion that finds it hard to break into. *I mean, it can be, but CAN be isn't the point.

The foil sticker is the only thing keeping you from using it while in the box. Without the sticker, it would work in-box just fine. Or so I'm told. I know the NFC chip is right in the base of the figures. Someone took one apart and showed it off somewhere. Also these boxes are seriously ugly as hell. I'll never understand you box weirdos. I can't even begin to empathize. You weirdos.

Mmm I hear from a not-insignificant number of people that high page counts in threads that have been around forever can be intimidating. Threads almost develop their own little sub-community, and breaking into it can be difficult. It's not so big a deal here since, though active, we're not extravagantly large in number, but on, say, GAF, I could certainly see why people would discourage necroing an ancient thread. (They also auto-lock old threads there, too, IIRC.)

I've never ever heard anyone use the term "twee" anywhere off the internet. But that's not what I meant by that statement at all. I meant "it's used a lot by people to mean a thing" and so "I want to know what those people mean, not what some dumb dictionary tells me" because dictionaries are by and large pretty fucking useless these days! Everyone's using words incorrectly all the time, so why bother with actual definitions. Mostly, though, it's more fun to ask questions and get answers than it is to just look everything up. You know, talking to people. It's cool sometimes. -
I don't like using the word "problematic" and always try to think of what I'm actually saying, but then never figure it out, and end up not saying anything at all.

I have had an OKCupid account for a couple years now and have never actually talked to anyone. I also don't have any offline social networks from which to draw potential more-than-friendses. I'm the worst.

I've seen yoke used that way, but I've never seen it used to describe someone as all muscle-y! -

I do not. I want the internet definition, as that's who uses it! The definition as provided suffices. Oh man that's exactly what my association was for the longest time, which definitely didn't help assuage my confusion. I think I used "assuage" correctly, but suddenly I'm self-conscious. Did I just merus that word right up? (I like it because "merus" is sorta close to "mess" and they mean the same thing in the context I have set. :3) -
Yeah if you throw the boxes away they'll eventually be separated in whatever process trashes them. Eventually. Plus then you don't have to look at these ugly boxes surrounding your cool little figure!

Haha okay I'll just let it go, then!
-
Yeah that's what I meant. Can't wait 'til they do literally every pokemon ehehe

Not yet, no, but I'm assuming there will be, as they seem to just be doing all the Smash Bros. characters at the moment. Also there fucking better be because Wario is the best.

I do love me some hotcakes. Maybe I'll make some tomorrow morning. In the shape of Toon Link, of course.
