Confessions 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[2D8HP]

My biggest fear on the internet.... .

My biggest fear on the internet already happened.

I bought a textbook, and afterwards my credit card apparently travelled without me to among other places Dubai and made purchases.

[Bartmanhomer]

My biggest fear on the internet is that someone will mistake me for a child.

I thought that you're completely immune to fear.

[Avianmosquito]

Most of my setting's languages are just real-world languages with a different name, and I haven't made even ONE of the conlangs yet because I'm lazy.

Immune to the effects, I still feel caution and have common sense.

My confession:

I'm not a violent or angry person, but I just want to punch people who say "obviously" or "google it" when I ask them a question. If I ask you what something is, I want your answer, not the internet's. and, more often than not, what I say is not necessarily obvious at all. I hate the condescension of the word "obviously" but bite my tongue when people say it.

The best part is when the term "obviously" is used in textbooks to do something like gloss over a page of math. No, Quantum Chemistry textbook, that was not actually obvious.

That's not really a confession so much as a boast.

The term I'd use is "lie", although I'd settle for "textbook illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect".

Languages?

Yeah, people learning rocket science. How did you not know the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation before you took the class? A kindergartner knows what that is.

Four years ago, I nearly decided against a second date with my current girlfriend when I found out she was religious.

I am extremely self-conscious about my taste in music, because it's rubbish.
When I say it's rubbish, though, what I mean is that I don't have any. It seems to be a case of "does it have a tune or melody I can follow? If so, I like it." And I know many "crap" bands that I enjoy listening to.

Which has made me think most of the songs I enjoy listening to are generally disliked, which in turn gets me very confused whenever someone references the song because I can't tell if they're being sarcastic or if it's genuinely a popular song.

"Good" and "Bad" music are all matters of opinion. If you want to listen to some auto tuned canned music, go ahead. It's a trivial subject matter.

The vast majority of music going back as far as the 50's is auto-tuned. You don't understand what that term means.

I never claimed to be a musical genius. I was just saying that you can listen to whatever you want to. Also, I was using the term "auto tune" how it is commonly used today. Yes, auto tune existed in the 50s, but no one then used T-Pain level modifications on their music. I have nothing against you if you like that kind of music, it's just a fact.

Confession:


If you get me angry, I WILL TOTALLY GET MEDIEVAL ON YOU!





(No, not really)

Is that you? Wow, you look a lot younger than I imagined

I will neither confirm or deny (to use the words of my old Union Local's Vice President) the identity of the people in the photo, but I'll tell you this; It was likely taken decades before your birth.

That's a given, they're wearing 13th century clothing

[lylsyly]

LOL,

I must confess, I just rolled up the best set of Ability Scores ever (and I been doing this since '75). Granted we use 10+1d8 but ...

(the order I rolled them) = 15, 14, 15, 18, 18, 18 ... WOW!!!

When I come to my senses again I'll figure out what I want to do with it ;)

[Avianmosquito]

I confess I spent most of my last shift on this site. Then again, it was stocking day and we had few customers and less work.

[Bartmanhomer]

I can be forgetful sometimes.

[8BitNinja]

I have two arms and two legs

I'm trying to think of any exception to the rule that the third instalment in a trilogy is the weakest of the three.

How about the Evil Dead trilogy? I would argue that Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were both far better than the first film.

Someone else already mentioned Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which I loved as a child, but definitely seems weakest of the first three to my adult self.

Not everyone will agree, but even though Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome really didn't live up to The Road Warrior, I thought it was still better than the original Mad Max.

Rocket to Russia was better than both Ramones, and Leave Home.

Oh wait, those are albums not films.

Every time I post in this thread, I worry that I am posting something I've already said before.

You are in good company, my friend.

[Aedilred]

Oh yeah it doesn't hold up with albums at all. In fact I think artists successful enough to put out multiple albums often improve across their first three, if anything.

I see what you did there.

My confession:

Show

Yep, I actually spent the time going back to find the first time you said that. In this iteration of the thread.

[Bartmanhomer]

I don't like change.

[Strigon]

I don't like change.

Yeah, I'm partial to larger denominations, myself. Except loonies and toonies; they're cool!
Actually, come to think of it, I quite like quarters, too. And dimes. And nickels; they might be a bit bland, but I'm a fan of the beaver. Pennies used to be irritating, but now that they're out of circulation I have a kind of nostalgic respect for them.
I take it back, change is awesome!

I don't mean that type of change. I mean change to move one place to another.
