Ah, so I did. Not sure how I managed that, considering how relevant those points should be here.

Obnoxious, lying, seditious, narcissistic, rotting corpse vs. tired, confused, rotting corpse.

Well, that’s something I haven’t heard in a long, long time.

Oh yeah, I’ve got mud daubers, too. They’re cool; they don’t mess with me, and I don’t mess with them. It’s really just those big, red assholes (and the occasional yellow jacket) that are problematic.

I’m fine with bugs that don’t bother me. Around my house, I’ve got a ton of red paper wasps. They’re assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.

We’re snuggly right up until we get bitey.

Nope. Nope.

I don’t mind a hug, but I have zero desire to snuggle or wrestle with my friends, male or female.

You’re absolutely right. I meant it was “acceptable” – I don’t recall hearing people judged for saying it, but that was among an immature, high school crowd. It was definitely considered offensive to use as a label, rather than an insult (which was on the same level as f*g; not acceptable, but commonplace).

I don’t think I’ve used the word once since high school. Had it been generally unacceptable back then, I wouldn’t have done so. I graduated high school in 2004, and it was at least an acceptable insult back then (though not to call a disabled person), I think. I was a jackass in high school, though, so I could be wrong.

Either way, it offends people now, so we shouldn’t say it. It’s that simple. Deliberately offending people just makes you an asshole.

I definitely learned useful things in community college – at least in so far as general education courses can be considered useful. There were some duds, of course. However, I don’t feel like I got much more out of university classes of the same level.

With that being said, you may just have the misfortune of attending a lackluster school.

Woo, grunge!

I’m a big fan of flat design, too. To be fair, I basically loved every style in its time. Regardless, I like flat.

She was ugly before she became a sorceress, if I remember correctly.

I can’t be pretty in real life, but I have no such restriction in video games.

It’s got a real dom/sub feel to it.

Oh man, my whole desktop experience used to be themed. I would spend hours finding the perfect skins.

Unless you had a GameGear (or, heaven help you, a Nomad). Then it was, “Mom, I need more AA batteries.”

Science is blue (dark blue, if given the option).

Math is red or black.

English is green.

Social studies is yellow.

Everything else goes in whatever is left.

But they wanted to feel smugly superior! Poor fella can’t even be pedantic properly…
