[Mr. Strange]

It's those long winter nights, you know...

I'll have you know it's officially spring now.

Triggers are my trigger.

[WillowLuman]

Triggers are my trigger.

People using the word, or other people having them?

[Furtuka]

Clearly he means Studio Trigger

[Tack]

Rifle triggers.

But no, joking aside I don't have an irrational reaction to them. But I've had bad experiences with people who use the word 'trigger' just so that they can shape their world how they like it, and it's drained my sense of compassion regarding them.
No offense.

Which is why I lick toads.

Run, Toady One, run!

He's definitely a human. Damn, those woulda been fun hallucinations.

Which would have poisoned you. You could experience the same sort of hallucinations in a fever. But each to their own.

Just finished playing through the whole F.E.A.R. series.  I played the very first one back when it first came out, but in the last month I played through all the rest of it, except for the FEAR 2 expansion.

And all I can think about now is... goddamn did FEAR 3 suffer from some horrible consolitis.  Not the worst I've seen, but it was pretty bad.  Reminds me why I hardly play any AAA titles anymore.

[Dutchling]

Oh right, F.E.A.R.

Now you're making me feel bad for never having played a game someone on these forums gifted me Dx
Yet, of course.

Damnit, I missed the deadline on a quiz for my online course again. I'm still totally confused as to how it all works, and having to keep track of 3 different pages for it (on top of all the other pages for other classes) is throwing me off.

[Jopax]

Classes for the class god!

Halfway trough the week, still have the two worst days ahead of me, here's to exhaustion and mental breakdown!

Also it started raining, which means my laundry can't really dry, and I would really really love a pair of fresh socks :C

[Fluoman]

Hang the socks next to an electric heater?

[Pnx]

Sad haiku is sad.

But very nicely-written.

If they're caused in the brain, they're deemed by natural selection to be necessary for survival. Anger is drug related. It also causes problems, and shortens life. And I admit, there was perhaps a slight mis-wording in my first sentence, quickly rectified in later lines, however.

So where do you draw the line between 'necessary for survival' and not? Opiate painkillers are helpful for making people not go into shock and also for being able to act as though they're not in crippling pain, but most certainly reduce cognitive capacity.
And then there's anti-depression drugs where the effect is somewhere even less measurable, and don't at all directly increase survivability. Indeed, the only thing they really affect is state of mind to be more beneficial.
Plus there's chemicals in various food products that could be done without but bring on pleasant effects but have negative effects physcial or mental such as high sugar and fat foods, caffeine, and capsaicin.
And yes, all of these things are as addictive as alcohol or marijuana (actually caffeine more so since it's chemically addictive as well) because people can be psychologically addicted to anything enjoyable.

So yeah. That definition of drugs excludes a lot of things.

EDIT: Hidden twist, Leo's list actually contains every GD regular and it's only short relative to the entire Bay12 Forums member list.

Yes, it does, I'll have to rectify those problems in how I put my point across. Nevertheless, my argument is still sound, and you know what I mean.
