If Battlechili doesn't want to deal with that in his thread that's just fine.

Sorry if I made you uncomfortable with my debating, Chili.

Its fine. I wasn't uncomfortable with anything you or Saxon was posting, its just not what I intended the thread to become. I didn't really want arguing about religion or anything like that in it, and that's precisely what happened. 

Its kind of a bummer to see that happen in a thread that was just supposed to get something off my chest and maybe get some potentially useful replies to it. And it did for a good while, so the thread fulfilled its purpose on my part.

I apologize for that. I guess it's really hard to post anything about religion without it breaking into shitfests.

Again, sorry. xP

at some point in order to sympathize people have to apply their fundamental beliefs to the situation, and for some that just outright defies the principle of sympathy towards ideas resulting from religious beliefs. I don't think it's anything personal when it does. I think on some level people are going to have different outlooks on the situation purely because of this fact and there's no way around it.

not saying this to belittle, I just want you to know that you shouldn't feel like it went somewhere it shouldn't have. the fact that you still got useful perspective means that at the least people were able to come together on a common purpose for some period of time.

Furries be like "Phoenix plz halp muh mental health pawblems" :v

(Im joking, of course. I only mean for those who explicitly vent on it as if this place (alone) is going to help them)

Venting has it's uses and can help get things off people's chests. However, some of the people can be absolute dicks on how they post to said venting material sometimes.

Sudden "closed at OP's request" is a legendary way to be a party pooper in a forum!

Let it flow, you ninny.

My butt hurts with the pain of a thousand suns.

Though that might just be because I've been sitting in the same chair for several hours and it has no cushion.

No no, really, its fine. I predicted it might go that way but figured "why the hell not".

I think I'll just give up on making new years resolutions this year because I always stop trying after like a week. 

something i learned is that most students struggle because they aren't given tasks in small approximations, or doing tasks that they can accomplish first

i think this is the same principle; if you wanna change something, it might be good, instead of making blanket statements like the tradition suggests, decide what you're going to do differently next week and from there grow out.

just wanted to throw that out there.

I can't stop acting like a prick, because nobody ever wanted me to begin with.

if people are antagonizing you/trying to get a reaction and you feel like you're going to make an angry post, just step back from the computer or go offline. for the record i don't dislike you sidewalk

Also, I wish it was really obvious when people get banned. Like, when Brass gets banned, I'd like to know so I can have a giggle.

youll know if brass is ever banned because ill immolate myself, and you'll be able to see the flames

I wonder if anyone here secretly hates me, but they wouldn't use the word "hate" as they feel it's too harsh, and doesn't properly interpret their feels.
So they instead just kinda don't enjoy my existence and they feel more comfortable admitting it in this way.

(=ಠ ل͟ ಠ=)

hewge its impossible to hate you

You ever think about commissioning/drawing porn and all of sudden get super self-conscious?

Shit sucks.

ive never drawn any but im not against anyone consuming or producing drawn porn (with the obvious exceptions). erotica's just another part of the human experience and it's fine to put ink to it imo. i know there's a stigma that comes with it tho so i can understand wanting to keep it secret from friends/family

I'm already super self-conscious with normal art. With porn that's amplified by a thousandfold

 

Edit: Speaking of porn, don't you ever get soul crushingly disappointed when you see animal dicks on an otherwise perfect art piece? I mean, by all means it's their art and they draw it as they see fit, it's just that, damn! That porn was so close to perfection and you fucked it up with your terrible taste :V

To avoid misundertsandings, I'll write it again: :V

[unfortunately I can't read this PDF myself, because the UK has an automatic internet filter, which censors 'sexual' material']

It is from another Thread but i'd rather not derail that one.

 

Heard from it before, back then it was still described as opt-out.


That filter is still around?

Not been pummelled to heck by some court yet?

Come on UK, wtf?

I hate measuring things in years like this, but I've been having a shit time since halfway through 2014 and things haven't really gotten any better up to now. So fuck you 2015, you literally were the worst time of my life.

But hey, at least I finally got back home, there were some cool games and I'm not depressed or anything.

The year generally saw a trend of increase productivity in 3D. December itself saw nearly no significant image output (except the Santa hat) but did host the development of several tool scripts that are proving to be very useful and likely to vastly increase refinement and quality as well as free me up to push further into late-stage developments like fur, better rigging, and other things.

Outside the realm of 3D and furries, this year was... a year. Somewhat dreading 2016, personally, but you can't turn back the clock. Choices have been long since made, regret gains me nothing. Just have to decide how to proceed.

The filter still exists. You are automatically opted in and must manually opt out or partially disable it. The filter automatically blocks porn, references to alcohol, smoking, gambling and so forth. Some of them also block all forums and social media sites. The United Kingdom is a country in which it is illegal to produce pornography that includes spanking, so maybe that gives you an indication of how draconian English attitudes towards sex are. 

It only applies to me when I am living at my parents' house. I asked them to remove it, because it was blocking a paper that I wanted to read about the geology of Morocco, but they refused. 

The youngest internet user who lives in the house is my twin, who is 21, so I have no idea why my parents think that the auto-filter is appropriate.

I just feel like bitching into the abyss right now, so fuck it >:V

Tonight sucks ass. I don't really have any parties to go to and I'm feeling all lonely and depressed and shit. This year sucked, next year will probably be more of the same. Life is dumb. I wish I was actually a cool and interesting person that people actually cared about want wanted to get to know. I see all these damn people that seem so super cool and I'm like WOW I wanna get to know them! But nobody is like that with me, so I spend nights where I should be out having fun and getting fucked up with friends sitting on my ass and bitching on the internet. Horray :|

I'm tired of that though. I actually wanna go out and get drunk with friends, get laid, meet a ladyfriend. You know, shit that normal people my age are doing. My sister is already married for fuck's sake :|

Buuut I'm lame as fuck and basically living the life of a reddit neckbeard without the bad hygiene and woman hating/NICE GUYness. :V

Morocco Geology filtered...

How are West Sussex and co dealing with it?  :V

(It once filtered out the Chaos Computer Club by mistake)

Any chance of getting a useful answer by asking?

 

Minty, got any furry meetings in your area?

I have $12 to spend on Amazon's App Store before 2359 hours Pacific time. I have no idea what to buy, nothing is striking me. I got some photo-editor app, Five Nights at Freddy's for the phone, Minecraft Pocket Edition.... that's about all that seems interesting and isn't "free." What do?

@Mentova Going out and getting Rickety-Rekt is one way to spend time, but it was never a scene that grabbed me. If you can find a few folks in your area with similar interests and just hang out, play Wii, throw darts, whatever, that's acceptable too. And probably a better use of your time, for that matter. It's a matter of finding an interest that can be made into social interaction. It's not trivial, but ... it's worth it. Way more solid companionship.
