Oh the dress is rather pretty, peacock green with golden holo details.

Edit: dinner was chicken breast on a mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes.

They're dancing the macarena

I bet they'll dance the achy breaky heart too.

Edit: huh I guess not, they've already moved onto cumbia.

@MsJubilee Earthquakes are no joke indeed. But I always find the idea that they are divine punishment to be laughable. Only now does God punish us? Anyone who's spent time studying history knows that humanity has done countless atrocious things and not been directly punished for them.

It's just nature doing its thing. Bad luck for those in the area. There have been major natural disasters in areas with no people at all. So what would that be? God smiting a squirrel?

And just to be clear, I'm not mocking faith. I just don't think natural disasters are diving punishment. It just doesn't add up right if they were.

@Ryu_Niiyama If I changed my name.... Well, you certainly did change my name.
You made a typo in it, so I didn't get tagged.

Anyway, the name change on here happened a long time ago already. It used to be TheRealThanos, and now it's ThanosReXXX, a name better fitting both me and the character. The former was born out of frustration and a refusal to conform to the stupid suggestions of various internet forums. (That username already exist. Other suggestions: Thanos321745, Than0s59, etc. etc.) Either way, I've already been using this improved username for quite a while now, so it's not exactly new anymore.

As for the rest: I'll try to keep it somewhat short (although I probably won't succeed), also not to completely overwhelm @HobbitGamer, even though him not daring to dive into our mutual exchange of text walls truly is his own loss, because there's some good, and almost sage stuff in there...

Your response again tells me, or gives me the impression that your view on life is different from mine, simply because of what you experienced while growing up, getting older and making the choices that you have. And all of that is obviously fine, so we're good on that part.

Now, as for me: I sure as heck am no altruist. I'm social, not stupid or naive. There will be no giving of fish after my rod breaks. I may be polite and kind, but I'm also nowhere near subservient. I have a dominant nature, and I bow to no one. When I was young, I had aggression problems because of that, also because I was really small for a very long time. I finally got a growth spurt after I became 15 or 16. Reunions at school were always funny, because they literally used to look down on me, and now it was the other way around, teachers included...

Far as I'm concerned, only the current generation is on auto-pilot, not my generation, or the one before that. I think we've got to find a way to take away their techno-trinkets and show them that there's an actual, real world that's passing them by, because they're only focused on their online lives instead of their real one...

But totally agreed on being the best you that you can be, although then I see you write "what kind of woman will you become today" but to me that almost reads like you putting on another mask every time (mind you: interpretation), while I only want to be me, and to hell with people that can't handle or accept that. Now, that may sound harsh, but what I mean by that is that I'm indeed just going to be the best version of me, and being all polite and social while doing that. Unless of course, people are trying to disadvantage and/or disrupt me in some way, in which case the proverbial Mad Titan comes to the surface...

As for the trolls: we kinda semi-agree on that, because I do believe ignoring them helps, also from my own experience, but again, that also depends on personal situations. I just don't like putting everything in predetermined boxes with fixed labels. Sure, there'll be some persistent trolls, but nine out of ten times, you taking away the reason why they do what they do is more than enough to see them clear off.

@Link-Hero I do believe that I was the one who said "only bad people go to hell" and of course that was only a joke. Just in case you actually thought I meant it. Religion is not for me. Too many holes in the plot...

@Morpheel Mari-oh? REALLY?
By the way: the "Shantea" joke was spot on.

@Heavyarms55 Woah nelly, it was a joke.

@HobbitGamer Yeah but they tend to smite themselves. More than once the ones in my neighborhood tried eating the power transformer things on the telephone poles. Overcooked Squirrel has a very noticeable smell.

@MsJubilee Sorry about that. I was in a bad mood from completely unrelated reasons and took it out on you.

@ThanosReXXX oh. Well, my mistake then; I knew something looked off but I was already staying late at work so I was cross eyed. Anyway I think the end result is still agree to disagree. Which was my first post anyway. Lol.

Time for new tires. If they find anything else wrong... I will scream.

@Ryu_Niiyama Meh... I'm quite the confident person (you have to be, in the business I'm in) and I know I'm (nearly) always right (not because I'm a smug you-know-what or anything, but simply because I've long since learned not to make statements on things unless I'm absolutely certain they're correct and/or checked and double checked), but I'll yield anyway, because you're part of a select group of people that I've met on here, who's views I can still respect regardless, and as previously mentioned, I can also understand that one's view on life and on people is (at the very least partially) influenced by one's own experiences, thus effectively becoming (part of) one's truth in the process.

To me though, it seems very glass half-empty towards the rest of the Earth's inhabitants, but it is what is, right? And obviously, besides the whole respecting each other's view thing, there's also the (far as I'm concerned) intrinsic right for people to have their own opinion.

And besides, my father also taught me to always treat ladies with respect, so yeah, I'll agree to disagree then.

The people can now rest safely in the knowledge that there'll be no more exchanges of text walls between you and me. Well, at least for the time being...

@ThanosReXXX nope. Just the glass has water in it. Seeing the glass and the contents doesn’t make you a pessimist it just means that you don’t naively expect others to behave a certain way just because of how you think/live. As I said one can only account for oneself. That can still be done earnestly and positively.

@Ryu_Niiyama Remember me saying not being naive?
I do like to keep this polite and respectful, but that is becoming ever so slightly more difficult...

Glass half full just means thinking in solutions instead of problems. What CAN we do instead of standing still for far too long, contemplating what we can NOT do. Seems to me like we're really not that far apart in that respect, we're just describing it differently. Don't know if that's a "men think and express themselves differently than women" thing or something else entirely, but I'll just accept that it's your way of viewing things.

@RedderRugfish NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Nothing, they are inanimate objects can’t really express opinions.

However if it could talk, it would probably ask what’s a boulder doing there.

When’s the last time you saw a boulder anywhere near a wall?

Bloop.
