WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
Posts
author=mawkAh, rightio. Thanks anyway, mawk!
I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask for that! I'm not on HRT, and I don't know much about the process. good luck, though!
author=GreatRedSpiritI have no idea what you just said but I find that I am nonetheless intrigued.
ol' Donny Rump's giving it a spin, I am super hyped for the GE next year!
author=Jeroen_SolI don't think anyone got banned last time... though i could be wrong, I didn't look into any of that. All i know was I wasn't and therefore anyone else had even less chance.
I'm glad there could be a little minidiscussion about "SJWs" here without anyone getting banned.
I hope that means we're progressing as a community.
author=Jeroen_SolOh, definitely, but a world devoid of care would be a far bleaker one than this. Mostly because the apathetic wouldn't have empathetic fellows to extort for our amusement, huehuehue.
Remember everyone: Apathy is the only way to deal with human stupidity.
Wow that was a horrible thing I just said!
Oh well, let someone else make it their problem and watch them get mad when I won't let them make it mine.
author=Jeroen_SolI think we need a way to scientifically quantify spiralling out of control. I personally have been giddy and reserved through this whole thing, though I think that may have been because I knew before I even instigated it that I had no intent of getting invested about whatever was said. That's the job of the empathetic.
Also apparently the discussion has started anew. Here's to hoping it won't spiral out of control.
I'm just here to watch the world burn. :D
I probably should feel like a sicko for pitting ya'll against each other like that but... eh. I don't! You're all too tight to stay perma-mad with each other anyway, I know that, so much as i cackle like a villain, there's absolutely nothing to lose from my instigation beyond a lack of saturated discussion.
In fact if this thread gets monumentally boring in a future somewhat-far from ours I'd do it again. And you will fall into the same trap again, no matter how obvious I make it.
Because you enjoy it, huh? You freaks!
But you are wise, wise to indulge in your nature, every time you debase me, everytime you say you wish I'd shut up, you really don't. I know this because if you sought my silence, you wouldn't react.
I am an impetus of chaos, and chaos you want, you want to be dicks sometimes, I know you do, as I do too!
I am merely a scapegoat who will take your dickings like a tank, if I really was so detestable, I'd have surely been banned by now.
I am this threads greatest weapon, the triggerman in a war of one friend fired, but when the bullets clear the barrels, it won't be my hand on the triggers. I'm a facilitator, not an assassin.
I am the reason bickering can be, not the triggerman of doom. Chaos erupts where I give it place, but a manipulator is nothing without his bait, and his bait is nothing without it's fish.
This is the shitposting thread, like it or love it, nothing much said here holds meaning, and if it does, then it's possible someone has broached a topic of controversy.
It's win-win, you all get to name names and discuss stuff, meanwhile I get the attention my fragile little ego craves.

Well, I sure have been holier than thou a lot recently!
Rest assured I've no intent to stop being that way. :D
Here's a question related, do any of you while listening to music, start unconsciously making movements with your hands like you're on piano when you're really into a piece?
My air piano has seen more use than my real piano.
Sometimes I'll be in public with my MP3 player thumping to one of the music pieces I really like and realize 'oh wow shit I'm actually breaking shit in my travelbag'.
Then I keep going because I feel too alive to stop.
I can't even play an instrument, does anyone else find this?

For a good while now (since early this year) I've been considering going full trans, since you seem to be in the know about these kinds of things, I feel you might be the most qualified to ask... when taking hormones, do you get, like, moody or stuff?
These are important questions! I'm not going to make the transition lightly, and it would behoove me to know about things I may experience.
Yes, hormones tend to influence mood. How that influence shows up depends on a variety of factors/type of hormone and how much it affects your life comes down to like, the individual in question.
In my personal experience, higher levels of testosterone have resulted in higher levels of irritability with regards to my own mood, but I learned a lot of Hot Tips for anger management so now it's not really a huge deal. Someone I live with takes testosterone and really for us that has meant just, lots of opportunities to practice patience + good communication
The thing I want to note is that my personal experience with hormone stuff has been a huge, convenient fluke of nature and as always take a grain of salt and all that. A little over a year ago my body just started producing unusually high levels of testosterone which meshed well with the gender woes and is the only kind thing that meat sack has ever done for me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Various people I know on testosterone have reported similar issues re: things like aggression and it's a noted potential effect. Estrogen can result in some pretty abrupt mood swings; I've sometimes seen it described as having very strong, intense feelings (for better or worse!). There are differences in how a particular hormone influences stuff (and how quickly) based on whether you're taking low dosage or high dosage as well.
Depending on what country you're in, the process for HRT can be very different based on financial situation + insurance. There are a lot of different Formats a hormone can take, too, so if one method doesn't work/is unpleasant for whatever reason, you might have options. Typically they come in pills, some sort of cream or patch you put on, or an injection.
If you want a show or entertainment, I recommend finding something on the Youtubes to watch. Other people aren't here for you to work out your personal issues on.
e: this is also very highly recommended, I love the whole series.......
Right now I'm thinking that the "What are you jamming to" thread doesn't move fast enough. I want to post there, but I have a strict one-post-per-page policy. Otherwise I can see myself flooding the forum with music videos. xP
Liberty
Yeah, could you maybe just shut up for a while BM. My urge to bop you is so high right now. >.<
I barely even pay attention to any of it. Star Wars: Battlefront is a much more interesting diversion.
Thanks Penta!
@Lib: I'll desist for a good while.
Also I'll be at Supanova on Saturday in Brisbane so you can physically bop me there if you want.

author=LibertyWelp, darn.
Unfortunately, Brisbane is a liiiiiiiittle out of my way, being as I live in Victoria. XD
I so would have deserved it, too! Anywho, bringing my Camera so I'll be sure to get a bunch of pictures. I'll be going as Jade Harley, going to one of the nearby Westfield shopping centers today to get the last few little tidbits of what I need.
o.O BizzareMonkey, you are going on my ignore list. What a bunch of horseshit.
Has anybody been watching this season of South Park?
It's very different and it's self aware about it's different-ness. Seems to be all about being PC, among other things. When I see PC Principal I can't help but draw parallels to a certain person here ;P and it just seems really relevant to what is going on today. Instead of the usual random single episode about the latest celebrity "meme", it's this big arching story about the kind of social change I see happening everywhere.
I've been a fan forever and to be honest I'm not really liking this new direction. It's too much like Simpsons and Family guy where they replace laughs with lots of story setup. But it's interesting to see where they are going with it.

There's a saying in journalism: There's no such thing as "bad publicity".
ANYTHING that draws the attention of the public is fair game for marketing.
Companies want to make money? I'm shocked. Time to go on a tirade about it. I'll just need to come up with a catchy name for "my people".

I'll take the battle to the streets from the safety of my keyboard.

I thought you were trying to change? You said you were seeing a psychologist and rethinking your life. What happened?

Pop around to the slack group - you can flood the #music channel as much as you like...
corfaisusMy change means letting go off my hatreds. Now I'm not personally attacking people, I'm letting people do that for me.
I thought you were trying to change? You said you were seeing a psychologist and rethinking your life. What happened?
That and I was insurmountably bored and decided I'd been on a good record for long enough to mess around a little.
I got two warnings for it, one from Kentona and one from Lib, which I fully acknowledge I deserve.
I've been to five appointments, and I am changing, but I'm doing it for me, not for you guys.
That would be an incredulous waste of time, I've already tarnished my name beyond repair here, and I know there are some who will never forgive, some may, but are they worth it?
The answer is simply, no. :)
I'm seeing a psychologist for my own inner peace and to figure out more on who I am. What I absolutely do love about it's effects is that I no longer feel passionate hatred about virtually anything. I can talk to mawk and others who typically don't get along with me like we've been friends for ages, even after being horrible.
I will change, and will continue to, but I never do anything for anyone else unless I personally can benefit from it.
Where as before my body was filled with hate, now it's not. I may simply do what I was meant to, be the impetus of chaos.
Chaos can be fun! In fact, while some got annoyed, and some were indifferent, some merely watched and enjoyed like I did.
There's too much doom and gloom in the world to be bent on seeing negativity in everything, that's depressing, and was one of they key reasons I saw a psychologist in the first place.

Umm... I don't think piantotm was going on any sort of tirade about anything. Come on, you're better than this.

blibber blabber blah blah
You're a trip, BM. Like, do you realize that a lot of what you say we think about you is mostly exaggerated, in your head, and not actually the case? It actually concerns me a little bit that you seem to have some kind of vendetta against us, as evidenced by how you specifically point out that you are changing for yourself and not this community, in addition to intentionally instigating drama for your own amusement.
Honestly, the most anyone expects out of you, or ANYONE ELSE in this community is to not be a stupid asshole. How hard is that, really? You don't even have to be the resident idiot if you don't want to be. You can repair your "tarnished" name by learning to actually respect other people's opinions and not shifting responsibilities off yourself like a 10-year old. It'll take time, but it's worth it.
If you aren't convinced that I'm right about this, talk to Addit, Craze, or even myself about this.
