ok ok
if we alien RP and we use war of the worlds aliens we're not having them die of the flu that's silly
Jaslandia
No, we steal their tech, use it against them, then nuke the mothership
What a constable.
Anyhow, it's more that I do know about this kinda stuff and I like to interject it, not very sorry about that tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I get really worked up over unusual youtube videos, and I am really passionate about raging for no reason.

Thank you!

I see cute videos of puppers and I just get so mad.
:P

For an example of passionate raging for no reason: Kal. Your wrong. Puppies are evil. Kittens are way better. Do not ever talk to me about stupid motherfudgeking puppies every again. I will eat your face.

Is it bad I suspect you might? :P
Well..no...
Kalaron
I remember a time the biggest problem with the RMB was its degeneracy.
I miss those times. Back when fights were so uncommon that someone getting called stupid and being yelled out for not knowing who Queen was was deletion worthy.

I see a Kal and a Tse LIKE and I'm just like "Y'all weren't even around for the times I'm talking about. Y'all didn't even experience Time. GTFO"
Jaslandia
Time? He was an odd one, to say the least. Still, looking back, there was something charming about his weirdness, and whether it was out of good humor or obliviousness, he didn't seem to mind the jokes we made about him (if he did, he didn't say it publicly). Part of me wants him back, if only because arguing about and/or with him would be more interesting than petty personal and/or RP disputes.
Yukona
(Hence why I've all but quit it)
Yukona
There's smartassedtry that is innocent and kinda funny, and then there's the smartassedtry that's just insufferable.
If you fall in the latter category, you should quit your smartassedtry and try to be in the former.
Magnatronia
Glad SOMEONE finally noticed my rebellion. Thank you. Why am I the only one to note though?
Well Spanelsko's set himself up to be a fail state, TCADS doesn't have any information on his internal political structure, Magna is currently crushing a rebellion, and Corona was basically mocking the PLR primarily because he's the only near-modern nation in his merry band of African states - considering the other 3 members never talk or do anything so they can't really modernize now can they
We arent a fail state! (meanwhile you can hear fires and bombs exploding in the background) well...... maybe.....
Andromitus
Homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism.
Well this is how we abandoned socialist ideas. yay.....
Andromitus, Serft
What are you talking about? I know everything to do with my political structure! *phone rings* Hello? *Hangs up* Another pointless call about our government. I really need a new secretary.
Peoples Liberation Republic
I couldn't have said it better myself!

Just a simple fact of life. Nobody likes a smartass who is a dick about it. It is off-putting and turns many opportunities away (of which two huge opportunities were lost here for sure since I've been here).

Stay safe, and I hope things work out in your favor! I live in the Tampa Bay Area, so while we probably won't get a direct hit (although that could change), it could still get pretty bad here. I may also be forced to go offline if I lose power and cell service, but hopefully that won't happen.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Hey, Tampa Bay, I lived there for a while.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Good luck with it, hope you will be safe.
Jaslandia, Yukona
What'd you think of it? Personally, I really like it; lots of things to do, nice people, fairly good weather, etc. Plus, I live on the Pinellas County side, so I don't have to worry too much about the congestion of the city.
Penguania And Antarctica
Well, to be honest, I lived in Florida from when I was about four or five to when I hit ten or eleven so I only really remember bits and pieces from before I was eight...and when I hit eight I started to become more and more despondent -and eventually depressed- from a number of sources and that only really mellowed out when I hit fourteen and was at my lowest. So basically what I remember of Tampa was a comment from my grandmother about how people drove on red and the probable sources for many of the things I'm afraid of...like bees.
Fun fact, one time, a bunch of bees made a nest on the underside of a dude's truck. When he took it for a drive while me and my older sister were standing on our drive way (He was our neighbor) the nest fell off and we had to make a bee-line (Ha) inside the house to avoid the flying stinging arseholes. I think I was actually eight then too :P
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh. Okay. Don't have much experience with bees, but I do have experience with people driving on red. In fact, that's basically how me and my dad got into a car accident earlier this year (we were driving through the intersection on a green light, a pickup truck on the other side thought he could make it through, but because he was also pulling a trailer with another car on it, he didn't make it, we hit his trailer, and the front end of my dad's car was totaled).
Anyway, I hope you come back one day and give Tampa another chance now that you're in a better state of mind. Also, check out St. Pete on the other side of the bay; St. Pete has a great social and artsy scene if you're into that stuff.

All I know of Florida is it's full of crocodiles, swamps, mosquitoes, old people and Bob Ross. From that, I think apart from Bob, I wouldn't like it
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
All of that is true, though the exact levels of each depend on where in Florida you are (except for Bob Ross; he's been gone for some time, I'm afraid). My area has more old people and less swamps, but if you go more south toward the Everglades, the opposite is true.
Isn't Hulk Hogan also from Florida?
Jaslandia
Not really a huge Hulk Hogan fan, but maybe?
It just sounds, and I'm sorry, bad in comparison to the North East, Smokies, North West and such.
Jaslandia
Indeed he is. He lives here now, and has lived here since he was a child.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, and each region has its advantages and disadvantages. But for me, there's no place in the U.S. I'd rather live than the U.S. (with the possible exception of California).
North and Alaska: Too much snow.
Deep South (besides Central and South Florida): Too redneck and conservative.
Southwest: Too much desert.
Hawaii: Volcanoes and tsunamis.
Midwest and mountains: Middle of nowhere with little to do.
West Coast: Too liberal.
Penguania And Antarctica
I might, gotta visit sometime :p
For right now though, I got paradoxically more and less important things to consider, like what I'm going to name the SVDM I'm making for Tex.
I'm thinking the Uthyr right now, though making a word up in Kalaronian to assign it the "Nyr" might be decent.
What do you think I should name it, Jas?
Penguania And Antarctica
If i were you i tell her not to come close to someone in black robe with sword in his hand, it could make an international accident....
Andromitus
just warning in case, its not my fault if one of my inquisitors will stab her because she ignored the sword. (there are 2 currently there)
I'm not a Kalaronian linguistics expert, so I can only make a guess. Uthyrtios? Nyraktos? Super Thingamajiggy 5000?
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Huh, what language does Kalaron speak? Or, to be more fair and specific considering my linguistic circumstances, what language(s) does Kalaron derive from?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I dunno but we write in tenno-script or riot. :p
Uthyr is welsh :P
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Super Thingamajiggy 5000 sounds like an item sold almost exclusively to neglected housewives.

There are three things that I will not appreciate when I begin university.
1) My lectures and tutorials change days and times on a weekly basis.
2) They take place in various buildings, meaning I need to trawl through Google maps to ensure I know where I am going.
3) The online timetable mechanism allows you to search for only one class at a time, meaning I need to click back and forth to figure out which tutorials I can attend and which ones I cant because I have a lecture.
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Percyton, The Scottish Twins, Serft

I'll be honest I haven't read the RMB in ages. I've just skimmed it now and again.
I'm going to Strathclyde University.

I would like to announce that the Russkov Empire has gained membership into the Iron Union. We look forward to collaborating and cooperating with the Russkov government in order to make this Union prosperous, productive, and beneficial to all member states and the global community.
The Cross And Davids Star, Magnatronia
[spoiler]My local housing authority has contracted a private company to renovate our flats. So we got new windows, balconies, cladding, elevators, heating, ventilation and shower systems.
The place is basically a work sight. Constant noise, mess, the elevator was supposed to be installed in June but it's still being worked on. The workmen have been in and out of my house more than a groom on his wedding night. They were only meant to be in my place a week but because they did not finish the work properly, my house has lain unfinished for the past 4 weeks. It's still not done.
On top of that, since I moved in I have had continuous hassle with energy bills and council tax which I have only just sorted. And as the cherry on top of the cake, I have been unable to move in all of my furniture due to the elevator being off, meaning my house is half-furnished and I am into the 11th month of my tenancy.
Because of the stress and constant noise and mess, I have spent all of my summer (and most of the time before that) staying at my mum's while paying rent and energy bills on a house I am barely staying.
Sorry for the long post.[/spoiler]
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Good!

No worries. If I were you, I'd write to the local housing authority and recommend to them that they don't contract with this private company next time.
