CloseWon't be long before killer cyborgs from the future with Austrian accents start hunting us.

Bots seem to be evolving. They started quoting posts in topics and inserting links, now they're starting topics with quotes and inserting links. Scary stuff! ;.;
They've been doing this for years. Someone programmed theirs after getting enough complaints to end each post with "and I don't copy no more ever again".
Yeah, but I'm talking RMN-centric. Our 'Are you a bot? Y/N' question tends to weed most of them out and usually the ones that get through make a bunch of topics filled with spam links and bullshit. Lately they've been doing the ol' 'quote post, add link' bullshit to make them seem more like legit posters. I don't think we've had ones like that on RMN before and now we're getting a rash of them - almost like that kind of bot has come back in style or something. XD

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I'm sure the people who make the bots make subtle changes to their behavior pretty often, since otherwise people become able to prevent them with pattern recognition.
Quoting someone's post and adding a link almost passes the turing test though. If they added it to existing topics instead of making a new topic, and then hid the malware link inside an adfly link, it would be pretty convincing.

now if the bot could generate facetious comments or pithy replies loosely based on the context of the conversation, I'd never need to visit RMN again!

As a web site administrator, I can say with 100% certainty that I. HATE. BOTS. At one point I was manually activating peoples' accounts after they emailed me because that was less work than pruning the spam. But as my Google presence steadily went down the tube that problem has pretty much gone away. So um...yay?

Bleh. I've had a lack of energy the past few days. How do you guys deal with that?
While I wait for your answers, I think I'll go sit on a couch. For a few hours. Maybe stare at the wall if I'm feeling daring.

To get more energy you can:
-Eat right (Fruits vegetables and the like)
-Go to bed earlier (If you're like me the usual time is after 1 A.M.)
-Drink an energy drink (Least recommended)
Or as an alternative:
-Mope around all day and be grumpy (Like me!)
Do some stretches, go for a walk. Think about what inspires you the most and watch/play/do/listen to that.
Eating right and sleeping are good options too, but are less immediate.

Oh yeah. Sleeping. I forgot that was a thing. That may be what I need.
I just took a test today in Advanced Calculus that I spent an entire week studying for. I'm not even exaggerating. I didn't even look at my other subjects this week.
... I hate math.

The internet in all its boundless wonder can go fuck itself with a rusty spike. Also, SFW fetishes are the worst.
I'm gonna go to the grocery store and buy stuff.

Don't you mean whack? XD Sorry
You want to increase your energy? I'd be happy to help!
I am overweight, pretty sure I suffer some moderate form of depression, and now trying to lose weight. I can absolutely promise you that actually exercising gives you a shit ton more energy than any gimmick you can imagine, and a mere fifteen minutes on a bike machine does more to alleviate the symptoms of depression than a lifetime in a therapist's office.
Fruits and veggies, yes. Health drinks, no. Energy drinks are the worst thing you can drink. The effects do not last and you crash after half an hour. There's only one energy drink on Earth that's actually good for you, that's coffee, and that should be drunk in extreme moderation.
Most important! WATER! WATER! WATER! If you drink a cup of fruit juice/soda/beer, then you need to drink two cups of water to counteract the harm you've done by drinking anything that's even slightly less water than water.
The scientifically proven benefits of drinking enough water every day:
and on and on and on...
According to the Merck Manual, the primary cause of diabetes is water deficiency of the brain (as an interesting fact). Every drink you take that isn't water causes stoppages in your system and you need twice as much water to cleanse it. This includes flavored water. There's no room for compromise. You have no idea how many times I've heard people say that they don't like to drink water, so they put flavors in their water. If you're doing that, then you're not drinking water. It's contaminated. It may taste good but your body can't use it. Tea is good for you, but it's still not water.

Tea, water and blended fruit drinks (by which I mean actual fruit just blended with water and nothing else. I had pear/banana today. Nice!) are my current liquid intake. But yeah, eating healthy is a big help in the energy department, as is sleeping regular hours (it doesn't matter as much when you sleep as long as it's from x til y at a regular pattern), getting enough sun (no extreme tanning or shit like that, just hang out in the sun for a little while) and getting down-time to just chill. It can be hard to find the time or get the enthusiasm up to do something, but I've found that setting a schedule - even a loose one - with automated reminders can really help.
Also, exercise. It'll tire you out but it'll also help a lot, especially if it's regular.
But yeah, water is something not enough people get enough of. Personally I hate the taste of the tap water where I live, so I drink the bottled stuff (I don't care if you tell me it's from the same place, it tastes completely different and that is all that counts). Also, eat enough veggies, fruit and proteins (meat/nuts/etc. Nutmeat is delicious, btw, and everyone should try it once. Yes it comes in a can, but it's great. Slice that shit and use it for burgers. Hnnnng~<3 )

I have honestly never heard the word "nutmeat" in my entire life... huh. Didn't know that was a thing. Does it taste like nuts?
I should make an effort to drink more water, though... and get a full night's sleep. I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep earlier this week and today I got 7.5 and it is incredible how much happier, energetic, and just, like... more able I feel. Can't underestimate a full night's rest.

these advices are like so helpful
today I almost started to cry and punch the wall like 5 different times for the most stupid of reasons, if a reason at all, while acting with hostility towards my family xD
thinking about it for a second I feel fuzzy because they know it`s not (entirely) my fault and it`s not something I do because I want to. I know they love me, it`s sweet. xD
and spent like 2 hours in the couch staring at the wall hugging a pillow
I feel like i`m in a constant PMS.**** (who said men don't have pms) but perhaps going to the gym would help!
Never had nutmeat, actually never heard of it tbh but I'm a nutfreak so I'm sure I'll love it. Eating healthy will defn' help... Here at home we basically don't drink water, our family (me, my mother and my brother) consume about ~3 liters of coke per day. It used to be more, in the past it was close to ~9. And we're all pretty grumpy. xD geez.
I'm gonna go and buy an electric oven, perhaps it'll motivate my mom to STOP FUCKING FRYING EVERYTHING SHE SEES lol "oh son i'm on a diet" *12 hours later* oh I bought nuggets and french fries for lunch fry them please* (facepalm ensues)
***there are actual conditions that strike men and that bear surprisingly similar effects to the pre menstrual syndrome, caused by stress, hormonal imbalances and etc

It tastes nutty but has a meaty texture. It's an odd food but it's really nice.

Nutritional details. I mean, don't eat it all day every day, but it is pretty good for you. The only issue is the Sodium and Potassium counts, but as I said, not an everyday thing. You can totally make all kinds of meals with it too - chilli con carne, spaghetti, burgers... it just replaces the meat in the meal. You don't even have to cook it and can cut it up into a salad or eat it raw if you like.
Check out any health food shops for it. It's made by Sanitarium (an Australian company - they make Weet-Bix and other health foods) but I think there are other brands that make it too, though I'm not sure if they're the same kind.
