It's unfortunate that most of them still end up passing their genes forward.
 
It is somewhat odd that boxing & wrestling are categorized as "sports", while masturbation is "self-abuse".

Apparently professional fighters do this thing where they deliberately starve and dehydrate themselves so that they can fight smaller, weaker opponents.

Literally the most cartoonishly, self-destructively, stupidly dishonourable thing I've heard of.

Remember, men take "performance enhancing" steroids that do things like shrink their balls and cause impotence. People can get very self destructive when they are being competitive.
 
This heatwave is kicking my ass. I can't do shit with my laptop, otherwise it overheats, I can't go outside without dying in the sun, I don't have any appetite, and sleeping it out is out of the window too, because the heat makes any attempt at getting some shut-eye impossible.

Fuck. Me.

This is why all residences need basements. Go more than a few feet underground, and the temperature becomes insulated from the outside weather. Colder in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Unfortunately I live right under the roof. And the storage room I was granted is on the attic... right across from my apartment door.

So, a basement is a luxury I sadly do not have.

I have AC in my house, but the second I have to do shit outside it's like stepping through the gates of hell.

Yesterday it was 40°C in my city. 40. Degrees. Couldn't do anything but drink water, keep the windows down, sit at the computer. I wish I got a haircut, even the short hair is sticky with sweat. I took a moderately cold shower twice, and I still wished I had a bathtub to freeze in.
 
Does anyone else have a hard-on for... Tactical Ghost Hunting?

I wanna do it so fucking bad. Like just getting an LMG with a .45 pistol and strapping on a kitted out chest rig with webbing and a harness. While wearing a helmet with NODs and a gas mask. I would clip on a small speaker to my belt and have radio chatter as ambience playing out while I stomp around and say random call signs and shit in an abandoned haunted place with my redlight. That sounds so fucking fun.

You know, I would hunt down one of those old voice boxes and make it sound like a shitty radio before attaching it to the gas mask; that way, I can sound like a combine soldier from Half Life 2.

Just imagine it: you'd be stomping around. swinging your head everywhere while the speaker plays and then you'd hear some spooky shit; you turn around and BAM there's a mutilated apparition gurgling while pointing a skinned finger toward you. And then the FULL AUTO goes off for the whole belt. Smoke clears... nothing there. And then you mumble some weird shit like "Sector not secure."

FUCK! I wanna go Tactical Ghost Hunting so bad.
 
I didn't see a thread for technical site questions here, so I'm just asking for the future:
  1. Can we post cover images for our stories on here?
  2. How can I put a story synopsis banner in my thread?
I'm watching the BB-code thread to read it later too, but it's been killing to ask these question since I'm not familiar with the setup here.

You mean like the picture and synopsis at the start of this thread? Should be part of the options when setting up a threadmark index, which is part of the 'Thread Tools'. 'Thread Tools' should be visible near the top of a thread you create.

So you want the pleasure of killing something a second time? Or is this more an aesthetics thing?

The temperature about 3 meters underground is the approximately the same as the average year-round above air temperature.

At the upper right corner of the first page of the thread, right above where it lists the number of threadmarks, there is an icon that looks like three dots. Hit that, and you'll get a drop down menu. To create a story synopsis, hit Edit, then fill in the Description field with the synopsis, then hit Save.

That's exactly it, so thanks.

I like that kind of layout since it give story threads some panache, instead of looking like a wall of text.

Ask if they would trust you doing so. If they both say yes, do it. If either or both say no, drop the idea.
 
There's this subgenre of comedy where the comedian makes "clever" comments supposed to show the absurdities of society, stories, or just common truisms, mostly aimed at midwits that can't quite comprehend the concept of second order consequences. I hate it.

Especially when they employ Schrodinger's Satire.
 
I think most people don't really get a basic fact of society: even if you can trick someone once, maybe even twice, you'll now make an enemy of them forever. And if you ever need to deal with them again, they'll go out of their way to spite you.

Professional conmen learn to run and hide. Actual members of society, like corporations that sell imported Korean noodles whose spiciness is being perceptibly diluted, don't have that luxury.

You get tricked into some shitty noodles or did this just come out of nowhere?
