Holy fucking ellipses, Batman.

@paris said in RL things I love:

It's not what I want, it's not the same, and thus it's not pleasurable.

I'll take "Things I used to say to drunk girls when I worked at a bar for six hundred."

ITT mostly fairly common Anglophone names...

@Wizz Next he'll be saying he only posts for his own amusement!

Ugh, I have a mild peeve today.

In the culinary world, there are only one set of 'stars' that actually count for everyone. Michelin stars. And the maximum number awarded is three.

So if you say your restaurant has five stars, you're being intentionally disingenuous. It may even be true, that some magazine or tabloid awarded your restaurant that many stars in a review - but you know perfectly well what a star-rated restaurant means. Stop that.

@Ominous said in Derbyshire Estate:

It's British style drama.

Then I demand a Jeremy Kyle edition of this drama.

Silas is pretty boss.
I mean not as boss as Gareth... but still up there.

@paris As a person that lives with my own brain, I can confirm that yes it is very much more than that.
I tend to use 'manic depressive' even though that's a term no longer in general service. It works better as a descriptor, and doesn't get in the way when actual 'bipolarity' is an accurate term to describe something not related to brain-fuckery.

I also use the word brain-fuckery. Like, a lot.

@Coin said in ITT: Names You Always See:

I also tend to notice people using names I've used in the past before a lot, even if I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

This, a thousand times. Though I typically choose weird, historical, or otherwise esoteric names so they tend to stick out a bit anyway.

@Auspice I wouldn't wish that fate on any child.

@faraday said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Distress is not the same as disability or a debilitating illness.

Distress was covered in the above definition.

Mild disorders are a thing, I've not denied that. They are still, by definition, debilitating in some way. And as you've said, mildly from a clinical standpoint is not the same as mild in everyday parlance. If they're challenging to deal with, that sounds to me like a debilitation.

@insomniac7809 said in The ethics of IC romance, TS, etc:

But, y'know, communicate expectations and boundaries and whatnot.

That is literally what I said, yes.

Updated to reflect present hiatus.

There are theories, IIRC, that the universe is torus-shaped. It could be from whence the confusion has come.

@thesuntsar Except he did.

@Alamias I ensured that Fitzy didn't appear to like anyone. He did like people, obviously. Anyone that could run a secure Elysium in that town? Worthy of respect, if not actual admiration.

@Ghost I wish my family understood this...

@Meg It's okay, I'll debate philosophy with this super secret attacky cabal I'm apparently part of.

Oasis?

@Thenomain There's a difference between a cat person and a cat-person.
