"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Treleus]

Other than interrupted sleep because my bro was screaming in his, Vega. SFxMM.

He's an [dark hold].

[Sakura Leic]

Well that guy in the anime club we all hate thought we were all asses for talking about our friend who got arrested and about the incident on a private thread on Facebook, since the guy arrested was a officer of the club last year.  Needless to say it didn't work since we were all just worried about him and in turn the guy was acting like a ass and didn't seem to read the comments.  I feel better now.  

[Protoman Blues]

You feeling better is what's most important. That and sexy syrup covered waffles. Mmmmmmmm.... 

[Sakura Leic]

Why PB why?  Why must have the power to make people crave things they don't have on hand at the moment.  Oh the thought of blueberries waffles makes my mouth water.

[Protoman Blues]

It's just one of my many powers! 

[Joseph Collins]

I'm upset because as nice as I am and as much of a ladies' man as I try to be, I will never, ever, ever be as sexy, suave, and smooth as PB. 

[Protoman Blues]

I wish I could honestly say that you could if you tried...

...buuuuuut it's really impossible to be PB unless you are PB! 

[Pyro]

I wish I could honestly say that you could if you tried...

...buuuuuut it's really impossible to be PB unless you are PB!  

What if we cloned an army of you? 

[Protoman Blues]

Then PB would still be PB!

[Pyro]

Times a hundred. Can the world handle that much awesomeness? 

[megaman24681012]

Sorry guys; cloning machine of world domination isn't ready yet.

This thread is grossly under-used.

So, my new Compaq HP 2000-bf69WM is [parasitic bomb].  I really, really, really don't want to sound ungrateful because this was a gift.  But, in the 10 days I've had it, I have a dark spot on the top of the monitor (I might have caused that -- I thought it was a touchscreen monitor), the wireless went on the fritz due to avast! Anti-Virus (as far as I could tell, since a System Refresh fixed it...) and now, the on-board AMD Radeon HD 6310 video card seems to be breaking or broken, since I'm getting horizontal screen flickers at random times from random content.  It's by no means consistent, though I can make it flicker by loading certain pages or programs. (Like the title banner of a certain art site will make the screen flicker regardless of what browser I use.)  The video thing can be fixed by switching to 40 Hertz refresh rate, but I really, really don't want to do that...

I'm hoping that maybe the video card is fine, but something is just loose in the computer itself...  But I wouldn't be surprised if this laptop is just a piece of [parasitic bomb]...  "Once bitten, twice shy," as is my experience with electronics...  -_-

AMD Radeon HD 6310

I have the same card, and it was flickering too. The trigger was using Opera with Windows switched to that nontransparent non-Aero mode. It just stopped many months ago, I didn't do anything special. I guess it was either old drivers or some common bugs in Opera and others. Anyway, now it works like a charm.

[Joseph Collins]

Hmm...  Well, I haven't experienced that flickering today, so maybe it worked itself out on my end, too?  Here's hoping...  Thanks much, Karai!

You know what's a really shitty word?

"Anent"

It all started when I was doing a crossword in The 'Times. The clue read "with regard to" and was five squares, so I naturally thought "A-B-O-U-T". Of course, the crossing clues didn't support that at all, and I was getting letters that just didn't make sense. I just had to look it up and when I finally saw it, I was utterly stupefied.

What the hell kind of a word is "anent"?

It sounds like an old woman's name.

You wouldn't even see that bullshit in legal texts.

It sounds so utterly antiquated and useless. Like something you'd only memorize for the sake of extra points in Boggle or Scrabble.

And then from then on, I swore to make "anent" a totally different word. I'd use it to mean "like a [tornado fang]ing shitbag", like "Larry David sounds anent" or "Republicans and Democrats are really anent".

[Sakura Leic]

The sad thing is that I don't think I can find it in a dictionary.

[Joseph Collins]

Amusingly enough, "anent" is a synonym for "about" or "concerning".  For example, "This question remains a vital consideration anent the debate over the possibility of limiting nuclear war to military objectives."

Google, bitches!  X3

[Pyro]

And all I want to say now is, "anon!"

Anon! Anon! Anon! *Smacked* Ow.

[Sakura Leic]

I will admit, it is fun to say anon.

[Gaia]

And all I want to say now is, "anon!"

Anon! Anon! Anon! *Smacked* Ow.

At least you didin't get slammed by the burger king logo.

[Suppercut ♡]

Flaw to your plan, Malabar, is that you can't say "is anent". It sounds like "is an ant".

[Mirby]

MAGFEST is over.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Flaw to your plan, Malabar, is that you can't say "is anent". It sounds like "is an ant".

You're saying it wrong.

[Police Girl]

I'm coughing up blood again.

And I've had a bloody nose all day.

[Sakura Leic]

The shower in the main bathroom has no pressure and I need a new shower head.
