It is very tempting to go with sodas, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages all the time instead =)

I think things would actually get a whole lot better if the Children of Azathoth just ended it all already.

They better act fast, because Shub Niggurath, Black Goat Of The Woods With A Thousand Young, will cease that apocalyptic opportunity as soon as it becomes available.

Nyarlethotep is clearly at work in this world already.

Btw has anyone ever asked the Nameless Mist's opinion on...anything? We never hear much about the nameless mist or what he thinks.

You ever see in the latest post descriptor on a thread a new player you've never seen before, and get kinda nervous about entering the thread?

I once tried to K Me. Posted It and Reported. Locked by Mods. I am Autistic accounts for Repetitive Nature. I am Very Civil and Respectful to all on NS and off NS. My Opinions Are Not Bad Opinions No Ones Opinions Are Bad Opinons.

This Respect Is Given It Is Not Earned, This Respect Is Called Freedom of Expression and Democracy. This Man Always Says What He Means, I Am The Real Thing. I Make Ted Cruz look like a Leftist.

It's more the case that when I see folk with incredibly low (single figure) post counts getting into heated debates and I wonder while I hold by breath what side the coin is going to land on, as whether or not they will lapse into rulebreaking is a coin toss.

I honestly would never live alone in a house. Like when I lived in Ypsi, I had an apartment but I could sleep at night knowing someone was about ten feet away on one side, ten feet away on the other, ten feet above me and ten below. In a house though, it's just you. Like no one else is around. I sleep downstairs in my parents' house these days with the two puppies sleeping in the same room, but god I would never sleep alone in an entire house.

You know what I mean? I guess it goes back to my fear of the dark and the fact I read horror stories all the time.

I'm beginning to wonder if this site is doing my head in when it comes to politics. I feel like the political climate has descended into this mess where nobody can properly communicate with people with opposing opinions because "oThEr sIdE bAd". I try to be reasonable and hear people out but boy is it nerve-racking sometimes :roll:

Not normally. It's usually worse if it's a player I already know, and if I tend to get annoyed with them :p

It does often seem like team wokescold vs team own the libs, yes. Even more people than usual not bothering to read other arguments even while quoting them and instead arguing against what they might've said if they were some z-rate satirists caricature of "the other side".

It's a weird year, I think a lot of people are struggling and have slightly over-invested themselves in the next US election as some kind of beacon of hope or pivotal moment that will make everything better or make the planet explode.

Indeed. I'm quite a far-left person for instance, but I'm not authoritarian by any means, nor am I an extremely progressive guy - I just want people to be able to get along and hold whatever opinions they want. In terms of cultural issues, I'm more a fusion of progressive opinions and 'I just wanna grill for God's sake'.

And then there's my ideology - it makes me look like a raging ANTIFA guy who refuses to tolerate other opinions, when in reality I just don't like unnecessary coercive hierarchies and am actually more respectful of the opinions others hold. Oh well...
