TET: What Have You Learned Today?

[Cill Airne]

My boyfriend told me last night he's being deployed, and has been waiting to tell me.

Well shiiit. To Afghanistan?

Yes.

My boyfriend told me last night he's being deployed, and has been waiting to tell me.

I understand why then. It's a worrisome proposition to say the least. For myself, I only cry in severe pain and probably should be in no shape for walking. I guess I must go to the Salty Spitoon with Jetan.

I rarely ever cry. Usually only in pain; and I refuse to cry in public. This morning I am home alone, and all my built up emotions came out I guess.

Yeah.

Well, I think I am a little less tough, but more than tough enough to get in given that I only cry in an audible fashion when I am in no shape even to walk let alone show up at the Salty Spitoon!

Cripes, I would be nervous the whole damn time myself. I may not cry, but I would be nervous the whole time. That is a scary place in Afghanistan as it's where empires come to die.

[Jetan]

Well shiiit. To Afghanistan?

Yes.

One of my elementary school class mates is in Lebanon as a peacekeeper at the moment, altough that's obviously not quite the same.

[The Serbian Empire]

Yes.

I think I have a fellow graduate who's been over to Afghanistan myself with another who is a weather specialist in the Air Force and is in Mississippi right now.

[Stern des Meeres]

if you dont know the words, no polint in singing along.

I do. Stern merged two different lines into one, so I felt like doing the same.

I'm well aware it should be "i'm a bitch, i'm a lover" and "i'm a saint and i'm a sinner".

I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner. I play my music in the sun.
Is that not how it goes?

Apparently, I confused songs. I thought of a different one entirely.

Ah, that would explain that. Haha.

Shit shit shit shickity shit.

[Arglorand]

Shit shit shit shickity shit.

Same here, tbh.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Well ... today I learned that NS Roleplay really has changed, more than I'd hoped. There was a time, someone would toss up an open thread for potential fun, and people would be all over it. Now ... le sigh.

I mean really - what's not to like? A big city-wide party, coronation for those who want to participate in that part of it all, masquerade and good times, opportunities to get into trouble if you want, dabble in thins you might not have ordinarily, and a promise that the GM (me) will not intentionally go out of my way to kill off any characters, should things go screwy. And in an equivalent city of Venice, no less.

Things have changed, ayup.

I just need for things to start going right, insha'Allah.

Where is this thread? I may jump on it if it's not too much of a fast mover.

Why am I liking classical music more and more?

Because classical music speaks to the soul with a raw emotional power rarely found in pop music.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Eh Astro - it's just over in the NS forum, nothing big. Going to put in the usual references all the same, for any who want to take advantage of the info.

I wouldn't want to go to Afganistan but sometimes I regret not going to NCO training. With my physical shape it would have been hell though.

Microsoft bought Nokia. YESSS

Why so happy? At this point I'm just hoping they won't run down the Finnish sections.

I think its because your name has red text on it and that terrifies people.

Because now Microsoft will pump money into the Lumia brand.

Because now Microsoft will pump money into the Lumia brand.

Also means that they now have the capabilities to make hardware to match Samsung and Apple, meaning Windows Phones become more of a player.

As a Windows Phone fanboy:

This could be the drive WP needs to solidify its position as a 3rd choice for phones.

[Central and Eastern Visayas]

Shit shit shit shickity shit.

Oh? I take it this has nothing to do with Microsoft OMNOMNOMing Nokia...?

3rd choice? This could put them over the iPhone if they play their cards right and the i6(7) goes the same way as the i5(6).

I just hope they will continue to do it in Finland.

Have Android smartphones not become rather dominant already in the current market?

Maybe. It's anyone's guess. Worldwide, Apple has something like 4 times more market-share than WP, and it is fairly well ingrained into Western culture, but it is slowly slipping.
