The person who I'm going out with posts on here too, so they'd have to have amnesia to be surprised or anything.

Friends or family wouldn't be surprised either, they know I'm enough of a sad case to hang around places like this ;)

I suppose it's as good a time as any to mention that, like Reppy, while I haven't come right out and SAID it, we've also not been particularly secretive or subtle about the fact that my current significant other and I met, in a very round about way, through NSG as well.

edit: and no, it's not Reppy. Up until this moment I didn't even know she was female :p

....ok I'm still not 100% sure on that. we're an inclusive community here after all.

I've never spoken to anyone about NS. Don't really see the point, it's just one of a few forums I post on. Anytime I talk about something I've read here I just say something like "Oh, I was reading this thing online earlier and..." and off I go. Never met anyone from here, either, although I did live very close to Yootopia last year. Like a couple of hundred metres away. Maybe I still do, I don't know.

Since I have been discussin rather controversial topics and have been doing it in the evenings, I get this:

Honestly speaking, I can't think of a single post I've seen her make recently, so it's not like I've noticed much...

Neither have I - I try not to follow anyone with a Chruch of their own too closely, lest I get mistaken for a Believer. No offense to Reploid Productions - I guess you just can't help it when you get selected as Messiah by the Masses - but I'll just stay away. Therefore my tentative IF she has been etc etc

as above :p


Oh, you missed the heated debate about whether or not vaginas are just penises run over by cars, and whether one needs to have one's penis necessarily run over by a truck to be classified as a proper/fuckable girl? You really missed out.

NSG -- home of consummate subtlety.

Hence also all the sarcastic posts that are so subtle, people have to ask, "Wait, what? I hope you're being sarcastic here."

You've been away for far too long, honey. By now, you already have to be grateful when they do ask that, and not just jump in yelling at you for your "terrible", "in bad taste" post without catching a single whiff of that big ol' stinking pile of sarcasm in every corner of it.

Also, I never knew you could use consummate as an adjective. So, honoring that new-found knowledge with some inappropriate usage of the word, umm.. wanna consummate some sarcasm with me?

Ah yes, I try to avoid, when at work, any threads that seem like they might trip up some questionable sensors and have HR coming down to my office and wondering exactly what I'm browsing.

A while ago my girlfriend was using the internet on my computer. At the time I had a bookmark to Nationstates in the bar just above the tabs (Firefox). The shortcut named itself something like "Jennifer Government something something Nationstates", where only "Jennifer G" was showing.

She thought maybe I had a link to a naughty Jennifer Garner site or something, so I had to clarify her and show her the link went here. After that she was just like, "Meh."

Oh, I thought that was what you made these questionable law-related posts and even threads - so that you could go and show them to HR when and if they came to question you about your NS "life".
