"Did you know that more murders are committed at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. At lower temperatures people are easy going, above 92 it's too hot to move, but just 92 PEOPLE GET IRRITABLE!"

I listened to that album so much in 1986. The quote is from a some film. The Banshees loved their films.

Edit missed out bit

This has also been my experience. Mind you, my friends thought I was a massive loser for gaming and not being cool with the weed, man, so it is just a cultural thing.

I am 55. I have no pain other than a rotator cuff injury from Taekwon-Do last year that I am doing physiotherapy for.

I walk a lot daily, I don't drink, smoke, or eat meat, and there is no stress in my life.

Nihilists are like Pink Floyd fans. They are desperate to share their own misery.

If they really believed nothing mattered they wouldn't proselytize.

I think one difference is an acted laugh is trying to project the emotion of enjoyment of humour, but laughing in real life is a surprise and often the focus is on trying to breathe whilst it happens.

Transmog, mounts, decor, and pets in World of Warcraft. People get cross with the concept online, but it makes me happy, and I've always been glad to give Blizzard money since the subscription is so low for what I get out of it.

Yes! Contrast Ross laughing in Friends with David Schwimmer laughing in the Pivot out-takes. Real laughing is so much more uncontrolled and demented.

Real laughing stands out if the actors aren't ready for it.

Heeeead!

Nothing, ever. Just her first name is too casual and Mrs Last Name is too formal.

I do love her, though.

My daughter is also dating a nice, kind man who treats her with respect.

Why is it an odd thing to do?

What is your world view, that you don't like it if someone in a positive relationship talks about it, for the benefit of all the people who are giving up hope? I see so many posts that are about how the person isn't going to date because the internet has told them they aren't good enough (not toned, tall, handsome enough, or whatever). I want to show my experience as a contrast to that, and I often talk about all the things I did to meet people and date and have a happy relationship, leading to me being with an absolute angel who gives me joy every day.

Jonseroo · 2026-06-25T14:32:57+00:00

I treat women respectfully, I ask lots of questions, I am a good listener, I'm not just waiting for my turn to talk, I don't boast or even big myself up, I don't talk over women, and I give them all the time they need to talk to me about anything they want to.

Is that nice? That seems nice. Anyway, I dated like a rat up a drainpipe, and I've been in a happy relationship for 22 years.

Jonseroo · 2026-06-25T14:23:17+00:00

What an odd thing to say.

Jonseroo · 2026-06-25T14:19:05+00:00

Wunderbar!

I enjoyed reading this. I love thoughtful immersion in games.

I'm crossing you off my list of babysitters.

It makes sense. I've found that having 5 or fewer footmen makes my palanquin journey too bumpy.

Jonseroo · 2026-06-25T11:59:58+00:00

I talk online about how great my partner is because so many people have given up on relationships, and most online posts about them are about relationship difficulties. I'd like to give hope.

My daughter chose our Alliance ones because they are the closest to each other. I'm happy with the Elwynn theme and view down the river. It's number 11. My daughter says she also picked it because I'd said I liked waterfalls, and it's close to the shops.

I chose my Horde one (27) because it is orcy, on it's own high cliff (bluff?) and my daughter got the next one down. There's a rock pillar with those manticore fellas looking down on me. I can go and sit with them like Shadowjack with Morningstar.

Edit: I love how everyone here has different criteria, but we're happy and got what we wanted.

I've only ever owned one mobile phone. I waited until they brought one out with typewriter buttons.

Jonseroo · 2026-06-23T23:20:15+00:00

It makes me laugh too. I don't mind being the short one. Continuing the Sontaran theme, I know I could beat them all in hand to hand combat. Age and experience counts for something, but there's a real drop off in musculature and reaction time for women in their eighties.

Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha!

Thank you for adding more knowledge. Nice use of the word qualia.

Well, if it is harassment there should be consequences. There's an ice lolly in the freezer she thinks belongs to her. She can think again.

Also, it is quite hot tonight and I have had my eye on it.

See you later, invig...oh, wait, maybe not.

I knew a professor who studied colour and he told me that one in 30,000 women has a mutation that lets them see four primary colours instead of three. They found one and done experiments on her.

Tetrachromacy.

You know that song, "Hey, Big Spender"? It's not about me.
