    it works on most ladies

    You know, my ladyfriend does random weird things and says things that most people would freak out about just to see if I'll try to get all controlling on her (:winky:).

    Maybe she really does want that leash.

    yeah i wonder sometimes if that is what frankie wants

    a whole lot of ladies i've dated have silly levels of daddy issues and have liked to be bossed around

    i guess i must have the kind of mien to draw that kind of lady

    well duder you are pretty commanding and got airs about you

    so uh

    i mean even organichu has said you're sorta paternal/avuncular

    it's kind of a strange thing to think about one's self

    but i guess it kind of makes sense

    Some of these OKC questions are so loaded that I have to answer to how people think and not what is logically sound.

    Like this one on free speech: Should speech be: completely free, have some censorship, be very censored, etc.

    I bet you most everyone put completely free when in reality they believe in some censorship.

    What do they do differently that indicates that they are weird about it? This must be something you've seen more than in a few isolated incidents.

    I'm drunk and home alone.

    don't you live by yourself

    Yes. It's very lonely.

    I like living alone. I find it comforting.

    I actually like it, but I'm never not alone. I'm alone at work, I'm alone at the fucking grocery store, I'm always alone. It's this town. There's not a single person here like me.

    Ah, sometimes I am not alone. But I also grew up with four siblings. I moved from my mother's place to my ex-wife's place. It wasn't until I moved out of there that I lived alone. We really need to get you out of that town.

    Seriously. The other day I was like "Well if I move, I probably can't afford therapy" and then I was like "Maybe if I move I won't need therapy!"

    Eh, move to somewhere and you might have to put it off a little but you can go back to therapy eventually.

    My door-holding ways are so deep that I've spent minutes just holding doors open for droves of people and often end up being THE doorman when there is an event requiring the constant opening of doors. At school, at family events, at weddings...

    But you're still a leftie. If being a leftie doesn't really mean you match dumb people's image it's got to be better to educate them and be proud of being you than saying 'I'm not a leftie' or 'I'm not a gamer' or 'I'm not a geek' or 'I'm not whatever'.

    No?

    yes exactly

    i had to stop going to gaming shops to play D&D with dudes for two reasons

    1. i couldn't stand being around some of those people any longer
    2. i found it too frustrating and exhausting to pretend to be a different sort of person while i am also playing a roleplaying game. pretending to be one kind of dude who is pretending to be a fictional dude is wearisome.

    I sometimes hold the door at a busy QuikTrip and find myself stuck there for like two minutes as people bustle in and out. Most of them smile and thank me, though. Maybe it's a midwest thing.

    Sometimes I just throw the door open for the next person when in a crowd. At my school there are these super heavy doors that take a great deal of effort to open. I threw one open and gave it an extra nudge for this little chinese grad student behind me. Instead of reaching out a hand to push it open for the next person, she just kind of let it smack her squarely on the shoulder. It knocked her clean off her feet and into the building and the next person walked straight into the glass. I felt so bad for laughing my ass off as I helped her up.

    If someone asked me if I was a "gamer" I would say yes because I enjoy many games and game related paraphenalia. I can consider myself a gamer without it meaning I, personally, am the core demographic for G4 TV.

    Also, if someone asked if I were a god I'd say yes.

    i was only in atlanta for a few days

    but i got really strange looks from black people when i held doors for them downtown

    they were kind of incredulous looks. it made me feel uncomfortable.

    They heard that someone in Siberia was moaning about the cold and they immediately shut down their borders.
