Oh man, your dog does not deserve your vomit. Then again, your dog usually doesn't care.
Get well soonish.

Anywho, so if I were to call my bisexual housemate gay as a term of endearment because he said something cute, that would be still inappropriate because he is a The Gays, much as though other terms couldn't be used because I'm an The Whites?
It does kind of make sense, sadly. I guess cultural defusal is just some shitty pipe dream.

I keep forgetting Scandes isn't actually Scan but is actually Can.
Wouldn't have to put up with that shit in vikingland.

While there is still a "them" because people assign themselves to particular groups within society, yes.

We're all the fuckin' same, man, and I am really hatin' on this iPhone update messing with my keyboard shit. It no longer snaps back to the letters when i put in an apostrophe

[Tack]

That's the shit part man, because the people who don't realize it are killing the freedom of profanity for the rest of us.
I mean and probably ruining some people's lives too.
But they're ruining my ability to use certain words without offending people inadvertently!

[hector13]

That's the thing though, you know the words are wrong if you're using them for profanity, so you're not really reclaiming them

Oh dear god. I'm proof reading some of my stuff right now, and I'm not sure how in the hell I can fail to notice the number of words I simply drop out of sentences when I write. It's really rather disconcerting. Either my brain or my fingers is like a sieve, and they have no clue when they're being messed with.

I've noticed it when in your games, and it's OKAAAAY I've seen that too in many people who do write walls of text (and know it myself from my few forays into writing, like my RtD or the other one I continued past another person's, and wrote about fundead stuffs.) The reader usually replaces those words with contextual analysis anyway, and it is usually implied that it's not intentional on the writer's part (also because of spellchecks and silly roboots can make mistakes too! )

That happens at times because of the large amount of words in mind, and at times when we are fatigued in a significant amount, we can sometimes replace words we use with other things lurking in the subconscious.

...Which reminds me of when I wrote hippopotamus instead of hippocampus in my notes while being REAL tired back in my MedTech days. Only noticed when re-reading them for study and then I recalled 'oh huh, my mind was drifting to analogies...'. Because sometimes, imagination also gets in the way. But also sleight of thought.

I find myself doing that more and more as I get older.
I'm sure it's nothing.

Certainly not symptoms of early-onset dementia or Alzheimer's.....haha, of course not that would be silly...

I should make a game again.

[Tiruin]

I should make a game again.

This applies to me too.
Then I get anxious because of fearing failure and otherwise because I really want to make my own worldbuilding but then *FEARS*
And I am not that good in expressing myself because fears of being judged and perceptions!

No, it's the sign that as you're aging your cognitive abilities are growing without bound, and that your fingers are like overworked scribes trying to take dictation from a coked up ADHD ten year-old. The mind is accelerating, the flesh is failing.

Well, I just made a game, so I'm also filled with anxiety! We can all have an anxiety party together!

((As far as being judged, at least your game probably won't feature an omni-sexual dolphin as a character template. I'm judging me for the implications of that.))

Oh and just to clarify from last night, I don't agree with Kot. Respecting site culture falls under one of the prime rules of netiquette: Don't be a dick. If you're gonna participate in a site and it has ground rules, respect that stuff. Say you go to a house party where everyone is at most drinking lightly and being chill, then get smashed and start hitting on people who aren't interested - the host is well within their rights to kick your ass out, asking you to stop once or twice beforehand is politeness. That's site culture over on the cloverchins and it'd be silly to rant about people using the affix on their boards, but this ain't there and the expectations on behavior are different.

I was tired as shit and only managed to pull one trigger before I fell asleep though. Sorry Putnam, didn't mean to single you out when I should have blasted both barrels. Wasn't right of me.

I have zero anxiety about forum games, which sucks. If anything I get frustrated at my players for not enjoying it enough.
Which carries its own problems...

I think people have been assuming things of Kot, he agrees with that, the only reason he was salty was because he did it totally without thinking, when he said he saw other people doing it without repercussions, and had multiple times caught himself from using the term beforehand, but he felt annoyed that suddenly he was the one being singled out, it was so small to him that he said he wouldn't have remembered what got the post deleted had he not gotten into the habit of checking his post history*.
*From what I recall, give me a yell if I'm twisting your words here, mate.

I've had anxiety about my game because 'AHH What if this scenario doesn't play out well x_x' or 'what if the players aren't having fun' or 'wow these players are awesome, am I disappointing them? ;~;' Aaaaand that's what partly contributed to me going all bleh because of my handling of anxiety before <_<

Also your dolphin looks nice o_O Sexuality doesn't seem like a major point of their character so yeah. Thumbs up.

Someone may have gotten into my old facebook account. I tried to log in, and it's demanding government ID to prove who I am.

Fuck off, facebook.

[itisnotlogical]

I looked in the mirror and holy shit I have an appearance that people see when they look at me. I have no idea why it freaked me out so much, but I just had to stare at the mirror and re-acquaint myself with what I look like.
