Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

hate to shatter the illusion but a kid who goes to a spelling be would be mocked here too.

Paged!

Ms Chatty just got angry with you

Just got directed to updated forum rules when I tried to post.
Has that ever happened before? If yes for what?

Can you believe that there is a corruption scandal with the ministers of a country that had billion upon billion of dollars sent to it??????

I prefer the original movie.

The Dogfather.

*raises hand*
Actually I was generally the person giggling and correcting people (and probably still not 100% correct myself on everything, but confident and nerdy enough to bring people to believe me/in me.)

However!

When I went through Nuclear Field A School in the Navy, I had to do an Electronics Lab at some point with an Oscilloscope. My buddy Perez convinced this cute girl that was considered to be the airhead of our class into our lab group.

I was reading through the instructions, and came to the word, "Disheveled."

I was reading aloud.

Without thinking twice I spoke the word, "Diss-heaveled." As I'd never heard it spoken aloud, and I'd read it to myself that way in many a novel.

Miss Airhead giggles and pipes up, "Diss-Heaveled? Do you mean, "Dish-eveled?"

Confronted with two of my worst fears. Looking dumb and cute girls! And now a cute girl was making me look/feel dumb! Her cute giggling and correction will haunt me until I'm belly up in the grave!

This was finally the karmic rebalance for my years of roasting my fellow XI LSmates.

These.

Empty threats have been made before, back in the day it would be met with account deactivation pending contact with the user's legal representative. Idk if we still do that or not as it's an admin thing.

I had 2 chances to progress yesterday but I wasted them because I was too dumb.

Because of that, 6 to 7h of work in vain today…

Atleast you guys can sit comfortably in chairs!

None seems like how I sit

pants correct sitting posture -



Arc Raiders is fun btw - anyone playing?

I would pay decent money for a better homebrew version of the ffxi clock

New games don't suck, you're just jaded and looking back on the past through rose colored lenses.

this same argument can be turned around on you and your feeling about new anime.

New AAA games universally suck but indie games are in the golden era

Anybody else NA having connection issues? Got logged out earlier today and now get POL-0011 or POL-0253 errors.

I'm getting 0011 as well (after 3+ minutes of "Connecting to PlayOnline..."). I'm in NA. I was going to check auctions over lunch but I guess not.

Was gonna raise my hand but Vyreus beat me to it. I like to pronounce things in a proper way (part of my interest in word etymology in general), so I often end up looking how a word is pronounced. Even if I don't, at least I know there's a chance I'm wrong and wouldn't mind getting corrected. I even some times look up the Japanese terms.

I don't expect everyone to have the same interest as me (or be as nerdy as our esteemed mod), ofc.

But what I didn't expect was this seasoned Sortie party leader referring to the relic Greatsword weaponskill as "Skoarj"... but it just felt wrong to correct him, since he's American and I'm Arab. I mean, Scourge is not even a foriegn word! There was another funny word pronunciation but I can't remember it

Just lost two chars, probably gonna lose more in the next few hours, but looks like somethings taking a major hit along the way:

ugh ... is someone DDOSing SE again?

I dont think its SE, my friend in the mountain states region is having no connection issues.

East coast having some issues

route goes through the same cogentco subnets as nynja but not seeing timeouts past that.. could go either way

nvm, subnet spans a shitton of datacenters.. still seems like login server issues to me though

I lost two chars, cant get either back on it's just spinning. Something is up >.<

Everyone been back in for like 20 min, and seems stable.
