Debate / Re: The UK General Election

« on: December 20, 2019, 09:13 »

I'm surprised there isn't a new thread regarding the recently concluded 2019 general election.

How's everyone feeling about 5 more years of BoJo and Brexit being all but guaranteed?

Fat. I got fat.

On a more serious note I got a few pairs of pants, a couple of t-shirts, a few pairs of socks and some pocket money.

I'm surprised no one has discussed "Deep Breath" yet.

It isn't bumping if it's still on the front page right?

My lord, where has the time gone? I'm sure some of the old people might still remember me here, I still see a few familiar faces on this thread as well. Most of the people I see when I lurk (ever more sporadically unfortunately, no time with work and all) are all new to me. Is this the curse of aging? lol

This account turns 10 years old in a few weeks. My, how time has gone by. I just started playing the third generation when I joined the forums. Shocking to think that that was more than a decade ago. And boy have the forums changed drastically (though I swear to god it's still been using this same red color for years now, whatever happened to the l33t skin? That was bad ass.)

Good times. Good times. (I remember when this smiley was first placed here lol)

I'm sad lol. Perhaps I should lurk moar.

Writing my thesis proposal is really getting me rather irate right now.

I love the phrase. The term "you only live once" is such a meaningful statement, telling everyone that they have one life to live, thus they should live it to the fullest without inhibitions or worries, taking every opportunity that's given to you with no regrets and no setbacks.

What I don't like is the connotation attached to it. I hate its current context on the intarwebz, mainly that you should just throw your common sense out of the window and act like an idiot since you should "try everything once since you only live once". I mean it's stupid. In fact, it's quite contradictory to the actual phrase, since most of the things suggested might end up killing your "one life to live".

Honestly, I just prefer the phrase "Hakuna Matata". Hahahaha.

Music / Re: Which songs are you currently obsessed with?

« on: August 12, 2012, 11:10 »

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk. Classic. If you don't know this song, you just suck.

Literature / Re: What are you reading?

« on: January 02, 2011, 20:53 »

The Screwtape Letters - CS Lewis
Man's Search for Meaning - Victor E. Frankl
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes

I'd highly recommend those three books, particularly Flowers for Algernon's novel(it also has a short story).
