"Idiots" and "stupidity" are way underrated (not to mention bringing those up in such discussions every single post like some sort of mantra is getting old quickly).

Imagine what hell life would be if all the people in your country started thinking for themselves and doing what is best for them - instead of throwing their money out at the lotteries, going to disco instead of learning and thus allowing you to get into the top third of your class or buying the latest pointless novelty item your father's company happens to be producing.
Imagine if the people who dispose of your garbage, do your plumbing and tile your roof concluded that they deserve a better place in life than that.
If everyone performs above average, the average is bound to rise - and earlier or later, you'll be among those it will pass.
Others' stupidity shouldn't be an obstacle to the intelligent person; it should be a blessing. Stupidity lends itself to exploitation.

Also, yeah, what Stark said. Why confine yourself to walking through life constantly grumbling how much everything pisses you off?

Classical music, soundtracks and songs from video games and anime, Trance and some not-completely-mainstream examples of J-rock are what seems to make up the vast bulk of my everyday listening material.

I can appreciate nearly every genre except perhaps for non-music like Death Metal though.

I noticed that the classical/anime/trance combination, in particular, is something I share with extremely few people - though combinations of any two are relatively common.

I am talking about avoiding the state of being pissed off to begin with, not about the way you deal with it.

It's all a question of attitude and the right amount of doublethink. :3

Yeah, I guess, why not.

Also, why does everyone keep making polls with all choices set to black?

Coke. Black tea with milk. Peppermint tea when it is good. Coffee with milk when it is good.

Even on cartridge labels, passages of text Capitalized Like This are rather penetrant. You should do away with most of the capital letters in that portion.

Also, the anime-style character needs some work. The lines and shading come across as somewhat awkward.

I have no school and university doesn't resume before October.

I miss the school days at times, though slacking out like this definitively has its good sides.

I think this thread is built for eternity.

Completely unexpectedly, though, I then proceed to close it on a whim. Failure to see any gameplay value in this "game" or potential for anything above SMWC quality standards might have something to do with it.

It's just that I have a thing for large ham characters.

It seems like three or four weeks are the usual.

I think adding the voting thread to the required attention box would be a good way to start.

Sorry, that's the only one we had in stock.

Does white dye count?

Alternatively, mix toothpaste with soda and rub for the hell of it.

Fixed the two issues related to mood avatar editing.

I'll restore most posts' mood avatars from a backup shortly.

Please be a bit more careful when messing around with the board code. Something like $sql->query("UPDATE posts SET mood=$mid"); just should never creep in, especialyl considering $mid was an unchecked variable.

It's all in your brain.

Laying off the meds probably wasn't such a good idea.

Since we are no doctors, I'll close this thread. Get professional advice.

From the languages you entered in your Bio field, Filipino would be the natural assumption.

I'd tell you, but, judging from the Online users list, I figure you already found out by the time I am writing this.

I vaguely remember taking this test before and getting very similar results (although I'm not sure I ticked the same as last time everywhere).

INTP

44% for introversion, 100% for intuition, 75% for thinking, 56% for perceiving

From what I've read about that evaluation, it appears to describe me quite well most of the time.

edit: The sparkling enthusiasm in "Dr. Keirsey's" INTP explanation text as linked by that site's result page suddenly seemed much less surprising when the author self-identified as one at the bottom.

Art is subjective, but not everything that is subjective is art. I find it a somewhat excessively cheeky thing to call any work of your own "art"; it seems like a sign of pretentiosity or overly high self-esteem before anything.

With that said, I'm not really one to assume a holier-than-thou attitude towards sophomoric humour and it seems like you really put some work into this hack, so I might give it a shot later. What ROM should this be patched unto?
