  1. @mrmattimation Whatever happened to "love and tolerate"? Is this what it's come to? *300 violin orchestra begins playing* A flame war? Is that what the internet has come to expect? Then that's what they will get! THEY WILL GET A FLAME WAR LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! AND THERE WILL BE NO SURVIVORS!! AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

  2. @snowcone I have no idea. I'm going to guess it tastes something like deer. Nice and lean, and a little gamy.

  3. @pony Exactly! And almost any power like fire will have some downsides. Some flaws. But, when the upsides outweigh the downsides, you may just have to accept them.

  4. @snowcone Perhaps it is. LOL giraffes are soooo cool! I wish I was tall like them!

  5. @ceruleanspark Pretty awesome, could've used a # though...

  6. @pony Right. *analogy incoming* Many people try to extinguish fire, because it makes smoke. But only after it's gone, do they realize that the heat and light is gone too. I'm not willing to let a bit of smoke get me down.

  7. @snowcone Continuous improvement is something I practice. And it is actually a product of one of my flaws... I am never content with anything I've made/done until it is perfect. This leads to much stress, fretting, dissatisfaction and other bad feelings, but it also leads to high-quality, and constantly improved... products, for lack of a better word.

  8. @pony It would appear so. I am glad someone else agrees. Even if it isn't to the same extent as I do.

  9. @snowcone Handle my ADD? I do handle my ADD. But that doesn't mean it doesn't cause trouble. Or run rampant when I don't want it to. It's not like I have a switch in my brain. But even with the problems it causes, I wouldn't want to get rid of it, even if I could. That would be rejecting one of the greatest driving forces behind my creativity, ingenuity, and surprisingly enough, productivity. Do you understand?

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 13:08:42 UTC from web in context
  10. @snowcone I get what you are both saying. I am always trying to improve myself. The flaws I am talking about are things like: I stick to my ideals, so I have a tendency to argue, and I have ADD, but that makes me very creative. And I have asthma, but that has merely made me even more determined to work myself until I can run faster and farther than someone who doesn't. The kind of flaws that are directly connected to my identity, and vice-versa. To reject asthma, ADD, or arguing would be to reject my identity. To refuse to be myself.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 13:02:03 UTC from web in context
  11. @snowcone Well... I suppose it depends on the human... and the flaws... i.e. a tendency toward violence and/or murder would be a flaw you would not want to accept as part of you...

  13. @snowcone You don't have to. But I will give you an analogy: turquoise is a beautiful stone, but without the extra veins of other minerals running through the cracks in it, it would be ridiculously monotonous, and utterly un-unique. The "flaws" in the stone are a large part of what makes it beautiful. http://ur1.ca/g501q

  14. @mushi Dey be stealin mah sweet moves!

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 12:40:27 UTC from web in context
  15. @pony Why thank you. I have also found that accepting my own flaws has also made it somewhat easier to accept other's flaws (except when my own get in the way).

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 12:39:52 UTC from web in context
  16. @pony @pony Yeah... I don't mean to say striving for flawlessness is bad, per se, but if I did it, I would be insane, as according to the definition of insanity. I have learned to simply accept my flaws as part of being human. I don't like being treated as if I have problems. I have struggles, but the struggles are a direct result of who I am. To reject them is to reject myself. And lord knows there are enough people in this world rejecting me. I don't need to become one of them.

  17. @pony I kind of want you to stop acting like I need to be fixed. I have my flaws. I am content to keep them, as I would not be the same person without them. If that means I over-dramatic, or even ranting-raving furious at times, so be it. No one is flawless. Why should I expect to be?

  19. @vt3c I want one too!

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 12:11:24 UTC from web in context
  20. @pony I would absolutely love to do that kind of thing... but I have issues with feeling anything happy, peaceful, calm, or good, just in general. Something about the darker emotions being stronger, or me being emotionally scarred by my father's death. Anyways, when it comes to offensive jokes. I usually have to either just give them a gentle chastise, or a full-on rebuke and/or hateful rant about how insensitive they're being. It's like I have a dam of dark emotions inside me, and I either have to emote just a tiny bit of it, or completely break the dam and suffer the consequences. Anyways, I realize it's a problem that I have, not that is caused by the offensive joker. And as such, I do my best to never break the dam... but some people make it really hard not to.

  21. @critialcloudkicker Not felling good? I send you... BROHOOF! (\ Feel better? No? Welp... that's all about I know how to do... Maybe you should consult someone who knows more...

  22. @critialcloudkicker Hello! Having a good morning?

  23. @mushi AAUGH KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:51:41 UTC from web in context
  24. @pony I wish I could do that. But if i try and say much of anything other than "this really isn't funny." I will go on a rant a good 95% of the time, which leads to unnecessary drama, me typing angry, and other things that are generally not pleasant.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:50:41 UTC from web in context
  25. @rarity Thank you.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:29:28 UTC from web in context
  26. @rarity Do you really have to do these kind of things? Do you really find it enjoyable to do things I literally just described as "Absolutely disgusting"? Please ignore me if the only other thing you can do is bully me.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:28:05 UTC from web in context
  27. @snowcone I usually have a sense of humor. But there are two topics that I find simply unfunny. Bullying and "your mom" jokes. They are both absolutely disgusting to me. Again, I always try to bite my tongue and remind myself that they aren't being serious. But the issue is that they aren't being serious about something that is serious.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:24:43 UTC from web in context
  28. I cry almost every time I watch that video. Honest truth. So when people use the subject matter of bullying/being bullied it really ticks me off. I try to bite my tongue and show only mild disapproval whenever someone does, but it's really difficult to.

    Tuesday, 03-Dec-13 11:20:28 UTC from web in context
  29. @snowcone I- You li- Ugh. I really don't like it when people joke about these kind of things. heres why. http://ur1.ca/g4zlm
