That is funny. 2 or 3 maybe? The things we do as kids. I can actually remember my thought process for some of the weird things I did as a child and it made sense at the time... at the time...
Like for example running around naked but having to have privacy while changing. Its like the idea is there but its missing some parts.

Vidmaster 7 – I think I was around 5-6 at that time. 2-3 the kid in question wouldn’t be eating full solid food…and definitely wouldn’t be able to eat a large portion of the chicken rice up. Not sure how my parents handled that. I’m sure they apologized, not sure if they actually bought the poor guy another plate. Or maybe that guy said he didn’t mind it’s fine…
My cousin was swinging on the handbars like a monkey, right till she landed on her music teacher’s feet. That one at least she was embarrassed about. My brother fell in the zoo moat and didn’t dare to tell anyone about it.

Gran – each class has their own unique pathways to victory.
Like for ironclad – there’s exhaust style, str building decks, body slam decks and machine gun decks(lots of clash)
Silent so far I only learnt two distinct styles – poison or shiv
Defect there’s frost-claw or frost-barrage, and electricity/electrodynamics route. I’m sure darkness can be done but I haven’t yet managed to pull it off.
Silent generally gets my goat while I'm fairly comfortable with defect/ironclad.
Cap'n should be up now.
I've been up for an hour.
Drinking coffee and waiting to wake up the General.
Yeah well I was doing work so this was as soon as I could check.
I try not to announce when I go to bed or wake up.
I prefer not to establish patterns.
Isn't the fact that you don't announce your schedule sort of a pattern... and the fact you get up at the same time every morning. You can not escape the pattern!!!
I don't get up at the same time every day.
Yesterday I woke up at 4:45, this morning 4:30, who knows for tomorrow.
And good luck figuring out when I go to sleep, I'm one of those only need 4-6 hours of sleep to be obnoxiously cheery type of people.
Ye be a fouler evil then I captain of yesterday.
Yep I'm going to visit my brother in Arizona...
*Sniffles, and daps eyes with a handkerchief*
Happy trip to the states Mort!
*Prepares a spot by Mort's basket to turtle-waul, once the realizations that she's gone sets in...*
…
Down with the regime! Which regimes? If you can call it a regime, down with it. Bugger the man! Assorted rebellious speak inserted here.
*Clears his throat*
"Revolution is aimed at new arrangements; insurrection leads us no longer to let ourselves be arranged, but to arrange ourselves, and set no glittering hopes on 'institutions'.”

Oh your one of those people...Wojciech how did you favorite it twice?
No idea, I guess that rogue AI hiding behind the forum server knows me well by now.
You would get along with my fiance then.
So why can't we have high speed monorails to get us everywhere. That's what I want. Flying is such a pain.
Or if someone could hurry up an invent one of those star trek teleporter things... Although I won't be first in line to test it out...
The math alone to project where to send you would be OUTRAGEOUS.
Remember, not only are you figuring where on Earth you want to go, exactly, but the Earth itself is rotating - and as it is rotating, it is orbiting the sun, which ITSELF is traveling through our galaxy, which itself is stretching and changing its position as the universe expands. We're never in the same spot, and we're moving constantly through it at mach....a really high number. I can't remember exactly.
Fast enough that the change in velocity alone from our usual constant would cause the atmosphere to rip our skin to shreds like sandpaper were grinding over us at several thousand miles per hour.
Nah. Not going to happen in our lifetime. Even if you could figure where to put us, you'd have to change our momentum just so, which would have our organs splatter into billions of pieces.
Not to mention would we even be the same person if it all worked? The conceptualization is to destroy the matter entirely and recreate in the new location, exactly the same being. It would be a clone of ourselves, and not us.

"...Ms. Scint, that was probably the worst pun you've made yet."
"I take offense to that. You know I've made far worse."
Also, re: order vs. chaos -
I know the masses are morons. Nobody knows that more than I. My dream in life is to make a living making fun of those morons.
But the minute you sacrifice freedom for security, you deserve neither.

Isn't that sort of the plot of The Prestige?
Or specifically "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. ... He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security. He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither."
- Benjamin Franklin
(I won't assume someone from another country knows US History, so I'll let you know - he's a BIG deal to America. He's on on our 100 dollar bill, and he's never even been a president - though he probably could've been if he so much as tried. Genius inventor, Founding Father, first ambassador to France (America's first ally and the reason we EXIST), lover of French prostitutes, and first Postmaster General of the USA, Franklin helped shape America more than any non-president in our history, with possibly the exception of Alexander Hamilton)

It's a major point to that plot, the copying, though I'm pretty sure with 19th century technology he'd end up in the middle of outer space or inside of a mountain somewhere instead of, you know, in that dunk tank...

This chaos and law thing basically boils down to jurisprudence,which honestly is law philosophy that I am not particularly interested in.
The law is important for a society for it serves as a norm of conduct for citizens. The law is important because it acts as a guideline as to what is accepted in society. Without it there would be conflicts between social groups and communities. It is pivotal that we follow them.
By agreeing to follow (however many laws), you have already given up part of your liberty(i.e the liberty to punch people who piss you off in the face), so what Benjamin Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. "
Is not applicable.
By living in society you have already given up some of your liberties. Again if people did not give up those liberties, society wouldn't even be able to function, since different people have different viewpoints on the world and there's nothing to stop them from just bashing up the next guy who pisses them off because of a different worldview.
The only way you'd truly be able to live without laws is if you were a hermit living on the mountain top without any contact with other human beings.
Laws may restrict us, but they also protect us from being victims of others.

I like my couch how it is.
At 25:17,my BF is thinner player of the two. Yes, I got his permission before I revealed his identity. Because I'm lawful like that.
that's one lucky guy!
Ive also started playing Detroyed: Becoming human.
Pretty much addicted from the start.
got some great cosplays from that game at the con!

Careful, you're describing my retirement plans there.
My dog has just two days ago started this gross sounding habit of licking his chops at random. It is wake me up in the middle of the night loud and gross. He snores too. Kicked that hefty bastard of a puppy right to the other side of the bed. He's getting huge. He already is up to my gf's boxer/pitt mix's height, though not yet bulk, at about 7 months old. So when you hear that noise it's...a lot. Moving him felt like shifting a huge sandbag.
You would get along with my fiance then.

User: Every time I click on my Outlook icon, something else opens!
Me, internally: Really?
Me, out loud: Ok, let me actually go down to your desk and take a look at this one.
User: See, when I click on Outlook, Word is opening up!
Me: ... That's Word.
User: I know! Every time!
Me: Yeah, because that icon is Word. Not Outlook.
User: Well, why did they change the icons?
Me: ...You've been on this version of Office for 2 years. They didn't change.
User: I do this every day, and I know that today they've changed because Word is opening every time I click on Outlook!
Nope. Walk away.

Economics class has begun their game of Monopoly. We're already off to a good start.
"...why did you put $1000 in the middle?"
"Free Parking."
"Isn't it usually $50?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Go big or go home, Ms. Scint."

??????? 2-3 year olds eat solid food...they’ve got all their teeth and everything. I mean, you have to watch them like a hawk because they try to eat things they shouldn’t and bits that are too big to swallow, but they def eat full solid food....I remember that stage well because that was the age when the kiddo would steal all the food off my plate and if I wanted to not starve I had to sneak food when they weren’t around....
I don't get up at the same time every day.
Yesterday I woke up at 4:45, this morning 4:30, who knows for tomorrow.
And good luck figuring out when I go to sleep, I'm one of those only need 4-6 hours of sleep to be obnoxiously cheery type of people.
Lucky you. *Grouses*

Same. I can technically function on six hours, but I really need seven or eight. And less than six and I’m a hot mess.

So we all have bacterial infections. Antibiotics are helping. Pissed as hell with doc who should have known better. Further conversation during yesterday’s appointment confirmed that dude clearly does not understand how contagion works. Internally I’m just cursing our luck because I swear the kiddo’s primary doc is never in on days he gets sick. So we end up with....well, this. :/
So the kiddo is missing yet more school and we are all exhausted from days and days of coughing and I am so beyond cranky at this point

Hillsborough Disaster
Maybe political:
Notice how language plays into this story: Even after lies were apologized for, the narrative of 'hooliganism' has people thinking the same way the police were thinking when they horribly mismanaged the situation: "The masses must be controlled." Also note where the victims were trapped during the tragedy: in pens. I'm not sure how common this term is in sportsball, but I know that a pen is otherwise a place for animals. So what frame does that leave around people in pens? Well they must be animalistic, wild, and dangerous! Even when they're the ones dying.
In short, yeah a few good rules carried out by responsible authorities can really grease the gears of society. (And the cop who tried to have the game postponed is a good example of responsible authority.) But that requires that the authorities be held responsible and subject to the same law and order which they are charged with enforcing. Also, 'law and order' is all too often merely a terror-tactic used by the worst kind of politician and tyrant to enrich themselves and scapegoat the innocent.

Ditto. And this year it seems like I just can't win the sleep war: I struggle through the week on 6-7 hours a night, then if I'm lucky I can catch up on the weekend -- I basically slept thru last weekend, and it was glorious -- and then on Sunday night something inevitably goes wrong and I start the next week in the hole.
Sorry to hear about your lame doc, hope everyone recovers soon!

Oh and last night I was officially introduced to my local Democrats as a new Precinct Committeeperson! Mrs Sunrise took video of my impromptu greeting to the party, and when I watched it afterward all I could think was "Wow, I would really like to never hear recordings of my voice ever again..."
