Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
Hi everyone! Long time since I was on the forum. I got a new job in May and have been working on getting rid of my low self-esteem. I’m a library page now and am really enjoying it! I’m still working on my college degree, doing well in 3 out of 4 classes but am failing remedial algebra. I’m an online student. I’m horrible at math which is odd for a d&d player, but I comprehend the written word quite a bit better than complex numeric rules. Hope everyone is doing well, and hopefully I can find some time to post tomorrow. Going to get some sleep now!

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
I don't think I know you but welcome back!
So I did karaoke for the first time tonight, 'cause well, when a friend's feelin' low, you do what you've got to do to get them out of the house. All I can say is when your singing lexicon is limited to Georgian/Persian folk songs and outlaw country, karaoke is a struggle.

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
I have a love-hate relationship with karaoke. On the one hand I have a good singing voice, on the o other hand I have an untrained singing voice so while I can hold a tune I tend to revert to monotone (and I'm aware of the fact). The end result is that despite loving to sing I won't do karaoke without being drunk (and I rarely drink these days).
But yeah, a good range of musical knowledge is fairly important. Knowing some of the more popular songs from the eighties through noughties has saved my life when there's no metal or youtube singers on offer.
Well I've started shaving my body hair, didn't get all the way through it this morning but I'm planning on going the 'no hair below the neckline' route because I think it looks better.

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
Why y'all talking about shovels, do you dig a hole to put all that snow in? Is that how snow works?

I love pit bulls (dog). I don't understand why some people think that pit bulls are evil. It's just how people who train pit bulls.

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
I've contemplated springing for vocal lessons myself, since I do love singing and I wouldn't mind being able to do it without shattering windows and killing parties. Also, I've tried shaving body hair before, mainly out of curiosity, and boy is it a hassle. The itching is an absolute terror too. Would not recommend.
My favorite Georgian folk song to sing is probably Tu Ase Turpa Iqavi, which puzzlingly enough this Irish pub didn't have on their karaoke machine. So I settled for a less-than-spectacular rendition of Merle Haggard's 'Someday We'll Look Back'. My voice is pretty low and I struggle with some of Merle's higher-register stuff, but they didn't have the country artists I usually find better suited to my voice, so I had to work with what I had.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
The conflict is a proxy for nature vs. nurture arguments. People who don't buy into nurture arguments see the higher rates of attacks as indicative of the breed, people who don't but into nature arguments blame the training. There really isn't a point to arguing about it, because the axioms involved are fairly fundamental and the same data can be used to make either argument.

Re: Thufir's Third Random Banter #224
Which is great, but statistically they are involved in more attacks then other breeds.
The conflict is about how we interpret those statistics. Is it that pit bulls are more violent, or are bad owners more likely to get pit bulls?
For instance, some people raise tigers. Of those people, some have done so without getting attacked, but owning a tiger is still exponentially more dangerous then a dog.
Exactly.
