Mrragh. She did it again while I was going home.
Oh, and then, when trying to argue with me whether it was fair for me to stop responding to him, he tried to use examples of horrible things which made sense for me ignore him about, his supposed horrible things, at least one was one I actually supported. I'm not going into details, obviously, but gods, I'm pissed at him. Frakker.
What are arguments from morality?

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I have, in my frequent trawling of all mercantile avenues for ways to slake my wyrmish lust for material fineness, been fixated by this Etsy vendor of neck- and bow-ties for several months now.
The only problem is, there are too many to choose from. I wish that the discursives here might indulge me with their favourites.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I would say any advice would be in relation to the clothing to which the tie is to be matched; not only in terms of colour schemes but presence of patterns.
In vacuo I'd be partial towards the "Royal Damask", the "Winter Florál", "Game II" and "Bond". But my opinion is rather biased due to my preference for sober colours and my dislike of an excessive number of colours in patterns.Last edited by AsteriskAmp; 2012-11-19 at 07:47 PM.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Thank you for your input, my sweet Lima bean. I should say, I'm not looking for advice exactly -- the outfit co-ordination I can take care of. I want exactly what you gave, in vacuo aesthetic reactions.
I like your choices as well. There is something transcendently tacky about the bird pattern of Game II, and the colours and shape of the tie itself are wonderful.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
On the topic of friends and moral arguments:
I knew a guy who disagreed with me on basically every significant topic. Think of a controversial issue I couldn't discuss here, I'm fairly confident he and I have opposite opinions on it. The closest we come to agreeing on an important topic is he likes Pokemon and I like some of Pokemon, and a narrow intersection in our musical tastes that mostly consists of Led Zeppelin.
You might consider our incredibly similar taste in friends a factor, that was always incidental to me
Dude is one of my best friends. It's not like we just avoid discussing stuff we disagree on either (those conversations would get boring quite quickly). We'd have a lengthy discussion on some issue, debate one another and then at the end, neither of us would change our minds, we'd agree to disagree and one of us would turn the discussion into a Scrubs reference.
I forgot to mention, we have an identical taste in comedy, that's the most important thing. Definitely.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
My dad just accused me of "cussing [younger brothers name] out."
I replied that I didn't know what that meant, and he angrily accused me of "playing stupid," claiming that "[brother again] knows what I meant."
Me: "[Brother], what does 'cussing someone out' mean?"
[Brother]: "I don't know"
Apparently, I'm an idiot.
Just to double check: Is the equation 1111111*11111=12345554321 accurate?
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.

Cussing out generally means a expletive filled rant about something. Cussing someone out involves calling them many many expletives.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
My parents are divorced, and I go back and forth between their houses. Mom is getting remarried soon, and my stepdad (technically not yet, but, y'know) swears a lot... yet my dads (regular and step-) get along with each other. Dad's fine with most people swearing, but he still gets angrier* whenever I do so. I'm rarely fine with anyone swearing, but I do acknowledge that occasionally people (such as myself) can't help it.
Meh.
*only if he's already mad, which he frequently is.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I would probably not. Money requires a colour scheme that inspires confidence and stability in my mind.
No. My bed.
And I agree. Dubstep is horrible. Though I respect that other people enjoy it and merely request that they keep it on a lower volume when I am nearby.
Well, I had a look, and I would have to say that these five are exceptionally fine: Winter Floral, Floral Paisley, Sterling Blooms, Au79 and the Cairo.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
That kinda sounds to me like he's focusing pre-existing rage on you & that it's not really your fault. If so, that's a bit... wrong. But I'm no psychologist so don't take my words too seriously.
For me, it also just seems silly to demonize words like that, curses or not. It's rare that I use curse words, but I have no problem at all when other people do. The point of language is to provide the listener with what you wish to express. Sometimes, curse words are the best way to deliver that. Depends on the person & what's being expressed. People get too wrapped up in the details & forget the basics.
Curse words are not polite. It is nice to be polite to people. People are friendlier when you're polite to them. Polite is usually good. "Usually" being a key word there.Last edited by Thajocoth; 2012-11-20 at 01:37 AM.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Good, in a way. Same with the bad. Lol.
Dubstep doesn't have words, and doesn't convey as much emotion as other songs do to me. So it helps block things out for me. Otherwise I'll (without realising it) veer towards sad love songs and I'll cry. Like how once last night I listened to Greyson Chance - Sunshine and City Lights and nearly cried. So I was like 'oh heeeeell no!' and switched back to Skrillex.
@The whole curse words thing - My baby sister's first word was the F word. Yeah, no kidding. (my cousin taught it to her ) But yeah, funny story aside:
Cursing is fine as long as it's not too much. Generally myself I might swear a little, or a lot, or not at all. It all depends on what people I'm around at the time. At home: A bit. If drinking, every other word. At Ele's: Barely at all 'cause he'll hit me if I do.
ION: Slept for 13hrs and feel so much better! And bf is coming to get his stuff tonight.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Two friends of mine swear liberally in front of their 2 year old daughter. It's something that puzzles me, growing up as... conservative as I did. But, y'know, for them it's not a big deal obviously.
I still never swear in front of my parents. But Afrikaans is such a nice cussing language, it'd be a shame never to let loose a few choice descriptives now and then. Heh.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.
So I guess I have an internets? | And a trophy. | And a music cookie (whatever that is).

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Ooh. Please say it's got places big enough for a ranger to shoot past people. Once I remember my party was descending into a tunnel via ladder, got down, opened up into a big room.. People kept crowding the entryway so much I wanted to just say 'Screw it, I'm trying to shoot past you. If I critically fail and hit you in the head, it's your friggen' fault!'

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Hah! Your soft and weak English vocal cords are no match for the harsh manliness of Afrikaans!
But it does seem as if many people have difficulty pronouncing some of our words. Some of my Brit/American acquaintances would rather be beaten to death by a mob of angry locals than try and speak Afrikaans.
And it's not really a pretty language, if I'm honest.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I use swears as much as any other words, in general. There are situations where I have to consciously hold back, but in most of those I'm too awkward to talk without planning the sentence ahead anyway...
I wasn't even feeling sad yesterday when I listened to the orchestral version of Illusion by VNV Nation, that almost brought me to tears...
Yay for sleeping and for feeling better
