It's a shame that this is a music forum, then. Not to mention how I can't even get along with other loser gamers since my tastes in games suck as well. I feel like an outsider among outsiders no matter where I go! Argh! I'm moving to Tibet.

Really nice of you to say that though. I'm feeling slightly less lame for a second or two.

You misunderstood me.
Games generally are kinda lame so you're not worse than the other gamers, you're just as lame as them all.
Better?

Just annoying when all I want to do is read the story. Or not. I'll choose not. I keep getting these calls from *******s asking me if I'm ready to discuss how to make money by trading on the internet. They literally come out of nowhere, calls totally unsolicited and I always tell them not interested, but I'm betting one of these "click here to accept our conditions" ****s set them on me. So any I can avoid, I will.

Lisnaholic and Trollheart are also on that short list. Everyone else is a douche. Who are the last two non-docuhes? That's top secret information!

Awwwww!

It seemed more important for both parties to stay in power than doing anything constructive. After Clinton, venom from the left would be thrown towards Bush, mostly because of the ill advised Iraq War, and the right outdid themselves with Obama who unwittingly proved simply by the color of his skin that racism indeed still exists in America. The hatred towards him made the hatred towards Clinton look like a minor squabble. Now we have Trump who knows as much about politics as the Upper Class Twit of the Year. In any event, all we're capable of doing now is demonizing each other on Facebook. It doesn't make for a bright future.

I feel like you basically have a 10x worse situation than what's starting to become more and more apparent here in DK: That people are divided about the choice of right or left, while in reality, all of the politicians betray the people and are our enemies. We should all band together in protest against an establishment that increasingly is not in the employ of the people, but of the elite.

You're not getting cold calls because of SEO tracking, TH.

Also, if you read the message closely, it says that you have to agree and use the site for the terms to apply, not just use the site.

You should probably just not use the internet anymore if it's a dealbreaker for you.

That’s how we got Nixon and Trump.

Well, uh, thanks? I mean **** you? I mean... I don't know anymore *grabs head in confusion*

Even as a gamer, I very much recommend people who don't play games to never fall into that habit.
