I can used to partake but inside of naked cakes and machetes, but spelling rhubarb released catnip up Judge Rienholt's nose expanding upon sugar lumps.
I know! Cheese has holes. The more cheese you have, the more holes you have. The more holes you have, the less cheese you have. The more cheese you have, the less cheese you have!

Me too
I've never actually gotten a PM before, but I guess it's cause I've never posted anything that warrants one.
Oh, here's something dumb I did today. I spent a few hours in Photoshop today making a PS4 UI mock up. Why? For no damn reason:
HURRY UP NEXT GEN
Last Guardian PS4? Nice stealthy troll.
What really gets to me in the "violent videogames lead to violence" debate is the fact that the strongest evidence people making that argument have comes from studies showing that playing videogames leads to short-term increases in the incidence of aggressive behaviors (arousal; not that kind you perv)- an effect which is stastistically higher to a small extent in children under 10 and males.
The hilarious part is that an identical effect is produced (a statistically insignificant difference in the degree) by playing non-violent videogames, which just demonstrates once and for all that none of these studies were conducted by people who know anything about videogames in the first place (and sadly, that many of them were agenda-driven to begin with).
I've read a lot of research, and I've never seen a single study that pays or calls attention to the difficulty of the games being studied. Long-time gamers probably already see where I'm going with this, but...
Compare two experimental groups, one playing My Little Pony: Dreams are Great (or whatever) and one playing the hardest challenge level from Kuru Kuru Kururin over and over again. Neither game is violent or anywhere close. Guesses as to which group would show a more marked increase in short-term aggressive behavior?
Limit the study to the original Castlevania on NES with no save states and I bet it'll spike too. Hell limit the study to me playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent (in which you have no weapons) and you'd have to conclude that videogames lead to panicked frightened punching of monitors in the dark.
That's the empirically hliarious part. Anecdotally, the funniest thing about the whole debate is that no game, with any level of gore, with any level of sophisticated, user-controlled violence, with any level of killing-based reward, has ever produced a larger increase in short-term aggressive behavior than the 1934 board game known as Monopoly. I have seen best friends and siblings literally throw the game board out a window and overturn tables and chairs as a result of three-hour games of Monopoly.

The internet is a weird and wonderful place.
I dabble. Just posted some junk in the Arts and Farts thread if you wanna check it out.
I imagine that's what a HumanVirus.exe file looks like.
Sending them is another story though amirite?

I'm not surprised, you're a dude.I've never gotten creepy PMS.
This is one of the greatest gifs I had the pleasure to view
To be honest I was sort of hesitating in participating too. Not because of creep PMs mind you, but presenting your face and losing your anonymity is sort of a vulnerable feeling.

It's my dream that everyone can and will that creepy PM they've always wanted. Anti is hogging all the fun now, but soon we all will join her in celebration.
I went through all of my life except for the last year or so being a teetotaler.
Now that I do occasionally drink I find it very, well, strange.
I never went through the whole college thing of drinking til you pass out. Or even partying til your drunk. I'll have like A beer, or A glass of wine and that's it. On occasion I'll have a few glasses of wine (like 2 or 3) but that's it. I've never really hung out with the point to be drunk. So when I hear about people that have serious issues with it I just don't relate because it's just such a foreign idea. The closest I ever got to being drunk was a few months ago when I went to teach a class in Houston, TX and severely underestimated the size of their drinks. I was at the hotel and asked for some rum, expecting a lot of ice and a smallish sized glass. Got it and found a medium sized glass with a little ice. Then I ordered dinner and asked for a nice glass of a chard to go with it. Again expecting the wine glass to be about a 1/4 full. They come back with it filled practically to the brim.
After dinner I crawled back to my room reminding myself to remember that Texans take their alcohol seriously.

I've gotten creepy PMs over normal pics in the post pics of yourself thread, and RPJ isn't really being all that widespread for me to feel weird by having a normal avatar yet.

Just changed mine to a more recent pic of my fiancee and I. I'm sorry to hear some people have gotten stalker-ish messages from doing this.
Sorry, I'll stop sending nude pics of myself. I didn't know you found that creepy.
Ugh. People can be so damn stupid.

Wall-quote GO!
How do you avoid the bags??? Even when I do get 2+ nights in a row of actual sleep I just look worse. When I smile properly now I get the little pouches under my eyes.
But I hear you on public bathrooms and proper lighting. I've gotten used to looking like roadkill in the office building toilets.
True, but I think he's hoping for something a little more formal. That said, it'll probably be 10% 'ceremony', 90% party.
Shame for your friend's(?) wedding party. Even if I didn't drink, I know others do, so I'd have that option, but maybe they have more personal reasons for not offering it?
Tired = hot? Sweet!
All of gaf? Haha. I'd have to rent out the Staples Center or something equally large to accommodate us all. I fully expect there to be a Gaf convention one day we're so numerous.
It might be on that coast if we end up living in Aus...
Haha. Be a helluva hike. I do hear good things about that place, though.
Thanks, LB! As for EU, we had considered England because he has dual citizenship, but we plan on having kids and having family support during that time is kind of important, so it'll have to be the US or Aus. I do love the UK, though.
Hola. Can't post as much as I used to, but RP is good people, so I thought I'd drop in again. ^_^
I fortunately don't have bags, but still good lighting is essential.Especially the older you get, it can't be helped. D:
I had to go into public bathrooms today. That lighting can be quite a blow to the self-esteem.

Wedding in NYC pls

Wedding in The Netherlands pls
yeah I know that doesn't make sense

Oh that's nice to hear. Good luck!
Maybe you should move to Europe or something. That way both families are equally far apart.

One of my closest friend just had a baby daughter today. Blows my mind since I knew him since high school. If you had told me then that he was going to be the first in our group of friends to have a kid I would've laughed.

GAF Gold is the best GAF
I've never gotten creepy PMS.
Eh, gotten my fair share but I deal with the creepers instead of whining about them.
PMs be damned, they aren't going to dictate how I post on GAF/the interwebs.GAF Platinum says 'Hi'
I don't like it, too much Evilore naked pics spam in my email, I didn't ask for this.
