Tet is an out of character chat thread where we just chew the fat. Unless you are a vegetarian, then I don't know what you chew.

Lot of banned players tend to try and come back, so get use to that.

Welcome to the site, any questions just ask, and if I dont know the answer I will make something up


Well, at least I am getting friendly vibes from you. I love the cat flag :D

The cat in the flag is lucy. She was free from the shelter, though she has cost me about 3,800 dollars in vet fees. She rules the house.

Make up enough rules and you’ll stumble across real ones.

Infinite amount of monkeys and all that..... which does sort of work here.

Unlikely. Sure, they would undoubtedly collectively excrete something resembling NationStates, but it is inevitable that it would actually be better. Their versions of NationStates General and Forum 7 couldn't possibly be worse, after all.

I live in upstate New York. Winters here can be pretty brutal and I work as an electrician, plumber, and HVAC repairman. Summers usually aren't much of an issue but in the winter everyone is super dependent on their furnaces to keep warm and because of that my workload pretty much doubles this time of year. About 7 times out of 10, they really just need a new furnace but don't want to pay for one so they just keep calling us for temporary fixes until it breaks down again.

It is probably progress that hopelessly conservative and patriarchically minded young men are considered weird these days, but that still doesn't make it pleasant having to deal with those twats.

I just learned to laugh at them when they stupid shit like the example Heloin gave us, and laugh even harder when they get their ass kicked by woman and screech autisticly.
