talk about jumping to conclusions....
Apologies to Laith
, but that wasn't a very huge conclusion to jump to based on the way he worded it. Plus, I never hang in the IRC so I'm not on the "in" with these sort of things.

My girlfriend is bilingual and she is trying to teach me Spanish since that is what her family speaks. But so far all I've been able to learn are extremely vulgar things like "yo tango un penetote in mis pantalones para joder" or extremely mundane things like "puedo tenir mas huevos y leche por favor" (grammar?). I know others too, like a long list of swears and household objects. I blame her. I should get Rosetta Stone.

Wow I thought everyone knew about the Neo-Epoch thing. I think Belthasar even mentions something along the lines of "Btw my Neo-Epoch is in the basement don't fuck with it thanks".

Not really. I literally spent less than 2 seconds on it. I'm not a very creative person though. Which is strange, because I was when I was a kid.

My name is Eric and I like Chrono Trigger. Not much originality there.

Yeah Faust I just read that a little while ago. I mean damn, I knew Dark Serge had a tendency to be a dick but...wow.
EDIT: Man, I just can't get over what a fucking traitorous move that was if it was in fact a real e-mail.

Man, I haven't been getting on here enough recently due to all the crap happening in my life and I just noticed this. Bummer about teaflower and justin - I have no idea who the hell the others were though. But, they got what was coming to them. Not only did they do something hugely unethical with no thought whatsoever to the personal lives of Zeality and everyone - but they did it so brazenly as almost to make sure that they would get caught.
But since I missed so much of the drama, why did Dark Serge get banned as well? It seems like he wasn't banned for the leak from what I gather, and last I checked it wasn't a Compendium sin to be a major dick to anyone who doesn't like Cross...

The chick on the right is kind of a chubs.
Also, full body spandex. Even the head. I call it the Green Man look:
Plus it can really show off your package for the ladies or in this chaps case the lack thereof.

Yes it is one of those questions that is supposed to defy an obvious answer. The person that can see color is perceiving an extra facet of objective reality - the wavelengths within the visible spectrum that an object reflects, transmits, or emits. Thus she is actually perceiving more information about objective reality. But at the same time she is perceiving that information subjectively and in a way that is not representative of the true state of that reality.
So is the colorblind person observing objective reality more accurately because she does not perceive "color" except for the grayscale, or is she perceiving objective reality less accurately because she cannot obtain subjective information about wavelengths of light associated with an object?

I can't say I honestly enjoy drinking very much. I prefer more worthwhile substances . I've also seen alcohol destroy the lives of many people close to me.
That said, the prevalence and availability of it in our culture makes it the obvious choice of recreational drug, and I'll often find myself in a bar once a week with friends after work - usually on the weekends. And I almost always end up drinking dark beer like Shiner or Zeigenbock. I've come to the conclusion that no other beer even comes close to those two.
And a whiskey every now and then is good too. Glenlivet scotch whiskey is amazing - though expensive. And a dark secret of mine is that I actually enjoy margaritas...a lot. Delicious, delicious margaritas. I don't care if it's a chick drink. They're friggin good. That's right I said it.

Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate everyone's support. I've gotta say, vicodin is a helluva drug. The anti-inflammatory drugs I was also prescribed do absolutely nothing for the pain, but 30 minutes after taking the vicodin I feel like I can do cartwheels.
If I can put my own two cents in for this hilarious color argument (are we really arguing about this?): There is no such thing as color in objective reality - only various electromagnetic wavelengths that we perceive subjectively as color. Which makes this whole thing rather amusing actually.
Which reminds me of an old thought problem: Two women are looking at a rose. One is completely colorblind. The non-colorblind woman perceives the rose as a vibrant red. The colorblind woman sees the rose as shades of gray. Which woman is more correctly perceiving the nature of reality? And which woman is more visually impaired?
