    So I was showing my mom the previews for Deus Ex. And she pointed out that it really is a world that reminds her of Phillip K. Dick. And she is also sad it is a video game not a movie. Because she likes the latter not the former.

    my aunt's fiancee's kids are here.

    the 11 year old's on the phone with his 'girlfriend'... who is breaking up with him. and he's like GIVE ME A REASON OR I WON'T BELIEVE YOU. IF YOU WERE HAPPY AND YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT CHANGED, THEN THIS ISN'T ACCEPTABLE. i'm sitting here thinking jesus christ, you're 11.

    :D

    It's a lot of fun.

    Best bet would be to go to a local shooting range and inquire about firearm safety/instruction courses. They probably offer them for free. Then you can just rent a pistol (I suggest a .22LR revolver if available) and put holes in some paper targets.

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    I'm not sure. I just know I was thinking of making ginger [chat] but I've never made a [chat] before. So I'm just curious if anyone can make one or just mods.

    Pfft, I just be you all are specialist provocateurs, paid to troll websites to trick those truth seekers out there amongst us. All your talk of the lizard people are just fronts for the Nanite Control System that seeks to turn us all into biological brain bots, controlled by a hive mind based on Mercury, where the Sun's rays power endless machinations

    That's what happens when we aren't given instructions like "Desc make a [chat], Elldren you're back-up." Paralysis.

    Seven people want to rent out two of my parents' flats as a single unit - but only want to pay 75% of the rent value, and my parents are paranoid about whether to try and negotiate for more rent and risk the guys turning it down, or just accept and take the risk of a better offer coming later on. My personal feelings is that they should push for more, as the rush for flats only started on Thursday and lasts six weeks.

    the chat protocol changes whimsically and without warning

    usually when I lock a chat I say who I want to make the next one.

    I always assumed if Mods turned [chat] creation over to us they'd say so.

    She sounds rad.

    She is the one that got me into sci-fi. The women is a prolific reader. Mostly sci-fi, horror and non-fiction. She reads on average 3 books at a time. Which is cool, but also means it is hard to argue with her since she will probably know more on the subject than you.

    Nobody wants 40 billion notifications that making a new chat thread implies.

    Right. Mostly elki's post seemed cryptic and foreboding and he didn't reply to my inquiry about whether we could make a new one yet.

    Also I wasn't about to start it myself because I actually use the notification system

    naturally it's not my own sanity I'm worried about.

    I just don't know if the forums can handle me having that many notifications.

    Well, there was the one that guy, you know the guy with the thing, had a heart attack because he got so many notifications.

    Was it the notifications that killed him or the quadruple cheeseburger with extra bacon?

    No one knows, but I am not taking the chance.

    notifications are really buggy for me, too

    they usually show up minutes after the post was made

    That's what I thought. If it was later September I'd be tempted to fold.
