@faraday Ok but that's not what I was referring to. I meant the type of social rp that ignores a setting element. It's having 'pizza and movie night' in an apocalypse. It's having fifteen outfits and doing a secret santa in a fantasy garbage world where everyone is starving.

The 'problem' (and it is only a problem in some settings) is when people left to their own devices rp things that make no sense because it's easy and familiar, and that is most of the activity available.

You can have social rp by your definition (and you SHOULD) in any setting, doing things that make sense. you can have quiet conversations while trying to maintain/find/stock a shelter. You can take downtime.

So, less of a commentary on social RP and more of a commentary on being thematic. Like when you meet a homeless person who RPs working really hard to be super clean. Whatever, super clean homeless person!

Right?

It's a fuckin' catch-22. Thanks to genetic/health issues (PCOS/hypothyroidism), stomach flu seems to be the only way I consistently lose weight. Ugh.

I am no doctor, but ALL CAPS followed by long medical terms sounds bad.

My thyroid don't work and other stuff that means my hormones are out of whack and ultimately my body v. v. v. v. stubbornly retains weight, regardless of exercise, dieting, etc.

But then add in intestinal issues from birth defect and I also can't really do "special diets." Thankfully I have begun to actually shed weight this year. The combo of proper anti-depressant and anxiety meds seem to have helped me start to get rid of stress weight. I had two huge bouts of stomach flu (ha ha!) that got rid of a fair bit........ which is a terrible way to kick start weight loss, but.... ehhhh?

Stress management + explosive diarrhea = Win?

Coded TS. Staff-run TS. Wikis with more nudity. Wiki pages that TS.

@VulgarKitten I'd say if the guy thought to share it with you out of the blue he's relinquished the rights to privacy. Go for it.

Well. I met him through my cousin two weeks ago. We chatted about possibly going out on a date. He texted me 'hi' last week, to which I responded 'hey'. And then yesterday he sent me a clip of him masturbating.

@Haven 33 years and thus far, I have not encountered unasked for and unwanted masturbation videos! #lifegoals

That is a blessing, not joking.

@ganymede said in Hello MSBites! Grade your administrators.:

Telling people to stay out of the Hog Pit to avoid dogpiling is akin to telling black people to obey the law when they have been killed by law enforcement time and time again for doing nothing illegal.

This argument will be infinitely more valid when unarmed people start getting shot in the back while in the Hog Pit.

Look, I have been attacked in the Hog Pit for using the C-word. I survived. I got the t-shirt. I still C-word it up all day. Besides, who doesn't like dogs? And piles? What am I missing here?

This is a very serious post.

I heard there was an argument in here.

This thread delivers.

You lunatics are awesome.

I would like to change my answer to, "I would page every 90 seconds with a healthy smattering of 'I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME, WHY DON'T YOU PAGE ME BACK!' and a final, 'FINE! FUCK YOU!' once I was about 11 minutes in."

This thread has a lot of words and surprisingly none of them are on where I can get the best TS.

4/10

@faraday said in MSB, SJW, and other acronyms:

If it's six people all making rational arguments like "Have you considered..." or "I see it differently because..." then you can push back against claims of dogpiling.

Because this happens a lot. Just kidding. It doesn't.

But when it's six people with variants of "OMG are you insane?" and "That idea is the worst thing ever!", mocking the idea or ripping it to shreds with malice, then it can absolutely feel like being set upon by a wolf-pack.

Remember when this place wasn't WORA? Bless. I loved WORA. I would never call it healthy, welcoming, or a good use of our time. Like Rick Astley, it's a guilty pleasure.

I don't come here for useful information. I come for the GIFs, bad descs, and the shitposting. I can F5 for 10 hours in this place and never be disappointed.

@surreality said in MSB, SJW, and other acronyms:

Some of us still chose to change 'don't be a dick' to something else in our files regardless.

Unfortunately, the best insults involve genitalia and/or holes.

It's an age-old problem. No other body parts sound as snarky.

"Don't be such a gallbladder, you festering hang-nail!"

/me upvotes every post in here.

/me doesn't play on this game.

I support mayhem.

Scenes that are so good you dream about them.

This thread needs more Kylo Ren!

You're welcome.

(Just leave the Hog Pit. Do it. Dooooo eeeeet.)

Seriously the worst part about being a mod, hands down, is that I have to see the Politics board now.

That is the one thing I hate most.

Like there isn't even juicy drama over there, you guys.

Did the Politics Board bang a porn star? Asking for a friend.

@kanye-qwest My whole life I wanted to play on a Lord of the Rings MU*.

My whole life I have avoided doing so because players will destroy the fond feelings in my heart about the setting.

Elendor was really good around 2002. You're welcome for this non-solution. Find a time machine.

I think I know some people who are looking for coders...

Also, I don't think a "vocal few" people who want the board to be made out of rainbows should have a greater voice than the "vocal few" who appreciate having a place to call a spade a flaming piece of cunty spades.

Listen, I don't know if there's something specifically wrong with your genital area (there are all sorts of antibiotics these days, best of luck) but how about not using the word cunt/cunty as an acceptable mud-slinging insult when that's actually precisely the sort of shit that will get you slain in the Hogpit.

The thing about the word cunt though, is it is used much more in the the UK than it is North America. About as interchangeably as bitch is here. I mean it's in their daytime soaps. So it actually is an acceptable mud-slinging insult in some places. Language is different all over the world. Are we supposed to stick u's in everything because @Arkandel is in Canada, and @Ganymede is from Canada, so 2/3 of the mod team dictates the rules of word usage? (I mean it's not a problem for me, I usually only remove my u's from poses and not where I post online, but I can try!)

I am in favour of using U's in things. (See what I did there?)

I say or type "cunt" on the daily. (See what I did there?)

Pandora is not a fan of the word, so I have to cunt on the sly around here.
