See, the problem I have when someone claims they have a social disorder is the same problem I have with the usual depiction of sapient robots. You have an entity with a vast, encyclopedic knowledge of information which they can correlate and speculate about endlessly; however, they are completely oblivious to obvious interactions between two events when it involves people.also, word of the day: aspergbitionist
This is, in the common vernacular, fucking bullshit.
You can recognize that the phrase makes people (James, in this case) angry. You recognize that he uses a term, which you recognize as derogatory, to describe people that use the phrase which makes him angry. You then even go so far as to put in purest terms the very reason why the phrase may upset someone:
"It might be used as an ad hominem in a subjective debate. ... It does imply that the person himself is not relevant to the merits of the argument put forth"
You take this piece of information that you have discovered, turn it over and over in your hands, inspecting it as a child may observe a shiny bauble, and then simply hurl it over your shoulder and continue to skip along happily without realizing that you've just dropped the key to understanding.
Except you're not a child. You're an adult — one that has purposely discarded the answer to your own question, an answer which is self-evident to people that do not have a social disorder. You cannot say you didn't recognize it when you found it, because the very statement itself is a recognition; one that you purposely discarded, and which you defend by claiming you have a disorder which prevents you from the very acknowledgement you just displayed.
Like a pop sci-fi robot, like Commander fucking Data, you cock your head to the side, furrow your brow, and simply state, "Fascinating." No. Wrong. Bad you. You're not allowed to pretend you somehow lack basic pattern recognition. You've demonstrated that you can understand the basic concepts in the posts above these very words. Hiding behind a label is no excuse for blatant, intentional misunderstanding.
It's not that you've got a condition that prevents you from "getting" people, it's that you're just another troll on the internet that likes to pretend he has a medical disorder so he can justify his self-inflicted social anxiety and inability to form lasting, meaningful relationships with his fellow creatures.

Sullivan > Purdum wrt why I hate the evil bitch. And am somewhat resentful at how utterly key she was to securing an Obama victory.
Man, I was making the Republican/Communist connection how long ago!?
Ironically, I forgot to bring home the extension cord for the laptop tonight. I'm posting on borrowed time here...
Best case scenario, he is doing here the same thing he is doing with DADT and Iran. Worst cast scenario is the same, but the thing being done is what it appears to be on the uppermost surface.
Why, if all the zombies died tomorrow, I could never bring myself to feel sad for their loss.
Analogy of the day.
And speaking of evolution, just in case I missed anyone the first time I spammed this video on your IMs...

Your result for Roleplayer Test!...
The Stuntman
Random, Action-Oriented, Platonic
Screw character relationships and development, you're just here for the IC badassery. You like your roleplays to be short, sweet, and action-packed: who cares about continuity as long as your characters are always doing something awesome like blowing things up or running from the cops? You're the type of roleplayer least likely to take roleplay seriously and most likely to have your characters pull ridiculous stunts for the hell of it because hey, it's RP! What exactly is stopping you from wrestling that helicopter? Of course, your characters often tend to be flat and if there isn't anything exciting going on, you quickly lose interest entirely. But since your characters' relationships tend to be weak in the first place, you don't leave much of a gap when you leave to go fight bears with your bare hands somewhere else.
Take Roleplayer Test! at HelloQuizzy
Mind, I assume "crack" refers to crack cocaine, so that might skew results slightly.

(Imbalance warning: Because of their backstories Sam and Volana may have slightly poorer equipment and Radan may have slightly better.)
( As for where they are... )
EDIT: I'm going to add a new houserule that, by default, pistols do 3 damage and long arms do 4 (with shotguns being 9-again). Penalties apply against targets more than one arena away with anything but a rifle.
And now, an equipment list. ( Let me know if I'm missing anything. )

character meme
Thursday, 02 July 2009 | 04:01 pm
→ why I decided to play this character
→ my favorite scene or bit of interaction concerning this character to date
→ my favorite original aspect about this character (world-building for ocs or head-canon for fcs)
→ the last thing they did "off screen"
→ what their last words would be if they died tomorrow
→ what the next thing I'm doing for them is (narrative, post, shelving, whatever)
BONUS ROUND:
» I will tell you what character of yours I'd like to play mine against.
» You may ask me a free question!
Any and all characters count, including from MMOs.

Now, to be fair, this isn't necessarily homophobic - cops falsely accuse dudes of assaulting them all the friggin' time - but if so, the allegation here is a bit of a stretch to be charitable about it.
EDIT:It's exactly like that.

Writer's Block: Comic Instinct

On one end of the scale, I would figure some higher, non-solitary animals have physical, man fall down ha ha humour. Dogs and crows at least.
On the other, I am almost certain that only human beings (and maybe a few now-extinct species of near-human hominins) have ever appreciated a pun.*
In between, I suppose, would be the sort that involves taboos and unspoken truths that reinforce common unifying narratives between speaker and intended audience.** I put it in between because I don't think the ability to understand this sort of joke is necessarily linguistic making language a necessary condition; but then, what other species can be shown to communicate and think in terms of narrative patterns and reinforce group integrity through more or less arbitrary sexual or hygienic taboo?
...said the chicken to the priest and the rabbi as the they crossed the road to the bar...
**Ever hear the one about the child molester who gets raped in jail by a huge gay black guy named Bubba? Ten years ago I might've saved it for the punchline of this post and now people are embarrassed to say they've even heard it.
*Which really answers the original question in the positive: my cock is so big, it's got its own humerus.
