We had a 13-person Nerf war at my house in 2010. I am still finding those orange darts in random crevices around my house, garage and lawn. And I'm sure my neighbors still think we're insane.NERF WAR AT WASABI'S!!!
They only think that because you still have darts in... other crevices.And I'm sure my neighbors still think we're insane.
Meh. I knew someone was going to make that joke the second I wrote "crevices", but I was too lazy to look up a synonym.They only think that because you still have darts in... other crevices.
Unless that's just a fashion statement.
Thats Mao from Code Geass season 1, however it is a 2 season show with 50 or so episodes.What show is it?
Code Geass: Lelouche of the Rebellion. It's anime about a minor princeling with issues and a gift for strategy who, through a chance encounter, inherits a supernatural ability to place a Geas on others, and decides to leverage this ability into a huge chessmaster/Xanatos Gambit to overthrow his father.What show is it?
You're telling me.Cancer fucking sucks.
On a much lighter rant note, damn you TVTropes link. Where did my hour and a half go?Code Geass: Lelouche of the Rebellion.

It's also kind of interesting in that it takes place in an alternate earth where Napoleon didn't lose, and the British aristocracy was driven off their island to hide in the american colonies, where they established the Britannian Empire, which became the dominant oppressors of the globe through a combination of superior mech technology and apartheid.
You're telling me.
It was exactly that and I've never been more tired in my life.Shit, I just heard about what I have to guess you're talking about. Glad it wasn't worse.
...I like it when you say things.Why the fucking fuck do I even talk?
Is there a job where you alienate people for a living? Because I have a natural ability, and I might as well make it work for me.
Ugh, I'm sorry.It was exactly that and I've never been more tired in my life.
Thanks for saying so, that's kind of you. I've been having a hard go of it with some of my close friends and family lately, and I feel like I must be doing something since I'm the common denominator, yet when I reflect on things, I can't quite see where I've gone wrong. My girlfriend thinks that when I express an opinion, it comes across as me trying to make others have that same opinion, and judging them for not. I've been trying to see what sorts of phrasing or behaviours might lead people to feel that way, since it is never my intent. Ah, well......I like it when you say things.
Well, it's decent of you to try and figure out how you might communicate better. Hope it doesn't cause you too much stress, though.
Given how people communicate how, I wonder if it's just a misunderstanding. So many opinions are presented as questions nowadays.
Ex: I just feel that violence is... wrong? You know what I mean? (lame example, but you get it)
If you're the kind of person who clearly states something, it might come off as arrogant when really, you're just sure of yourself... especially if you're presenting evidence along with it. Supporting your view might be mistaken for campaigning for it. Of course, this is just a guess on my part since I've never really been in the situation.
Anyway, you rule.
hahaha, coincidentally not as lame an example as you think: that very statement resulted in an argument recently!Well, it's decent of you to try and figure out how you might communicate better. Hope it doesn't cause you too much stress, though.

Trying the size would make you a ruler, yes.And, aw, I don't know if I rule, but I'll try it on for size.
Yes, I essentially agree. It may be a core of some disagreements I have, though certainly not all. I can't imagine regularly having to state, "I support A. This statement says a restricted amount about my position on related subjects," yet that it sometimes how I feel I have to phrase things.The primary issue is that when you are against one thing, it's obvious what you are communicating.
When you are for A, you may or may not be against B, C, D, E, F, etc. However those who are for those things may take your support of A as an implied opposition of B, or C, etc.
It's easy to get someone's dander up with a message of support, even though you've said absolutely nothing that should be construed to mean you oppose other things.
"I support marriage between one woman and one man."
That's going to make people mad, even though it doesn't say, "I don't support anything but marriage between one woman and one man", nor does it state opposition to anything. Further, there are very few people who don't agree with that statement when considered alone without all the cultural baggage now connected to it.
Very few people oppose marriages between one woman and one man, so why would they be unhappy if someone supports it? It's because they automatically assume the converse to be true. A voice of support is an implied voice of opposition to everything else.
So yes, generally speaking, voicing opposition to something is less controversial than voicing support of something.
Yes, I already know you're a bad a person.That being said, I support well done steaks.
I wasn't using a personal opinion necessarily... just an example of how vague and poorly stated opinions can be sometimes.Violence is clearly sensible and allowed in certain cases, and if you're using such broad strokes, you're making a big mistake. Thinking otherwise is just plain wrong.
You are, however, correct in your last statement.
Just wipe its ass and knock its horns off."And how would madame like her steak?"
"Just run the steer by the table and I'll grab off a hunk!" Jon Arbuckle's date, 198X?
Had a friend's mom who was vegan, said her vegan steak was a grilled portabello mushroom.I don't like that there's a restaurant out there that calls a seared slab of cauliflower with assorted trimmings a "vegan steak." I'd rather eat well done beef than that.
Little Caesars is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.You know what I hate. Trash pizza. Cause I'm a fucking asshole foodie.
As much of an anti-vegan as I am, stuffed grilled portabello is pretty delicious.Had a friend's mom who was vegan, said her vegan steak was a grilled portabello mushroom.
Bleh.
Obviously you've never had Cici's Pizza buffet. Worst. Pizza. Ever. Little Ceasar's is decent in comparison.Little Caesars is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.
Hey now, don't knock that. I love portabello mushroom burgers.Had a friend's mom who was vegan, said her vegan steak was a grilled portabello mushroom.
Bleh.
As fucking gross as Little Caesars is, at least it's like 4 bucks for a pizza. Fuck Pizza Hut and their 25 dollar covered in gravy and french fries disgusting monstrosities. Pizza Hut is the God damn worst.Little Caesars is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.
Cici's used to (maybe 7 years ago?) have a chicken bacon club pizza that used a white sauce instead of tomato that was incredibly good. But yeah, their regular pizza is a death warrant for anyone over the age of 25.Obviously you've never had Cici's Pizza buffet. Worst. Pizza. Ever. Little Ceasar's is decent in comparison.
