My Very Brief Bio

Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

@MultifariousJust a warning its only pictures that it works for, not text. So hope that's what you were looking for. :c
@Multifarious Well I know it's not something you have to win. It's some kind of coding thing. But I can't quite help you on the specifics. Sadly. :c I will look it up though because I am curious myself. I'll get back to you, if I'm not beaten to the punch. :3

Edit: sig.grumpybumpers.com Here's a site that will do it. Just create as username/pass. And it will give you the ability to post multiple links. And as long as the preview shows them. All you do, is post that link plus. "[img]" in your "signature" and you should be able to have multiple sig's now. Welcome. xP
Your wish was granted, but in opposite day it also wasn't and your stuck forever in the same boring world forever.

I wish every time anyone else lied, their noses would grow.
@Vilageidiotx Mmm. I don't believe you though. *wags finger* You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. My roommate is also very closely related to a small business in the area and he always tell me in board meetings he goes to how much they get screwed over. But I has a feeling this won't get too much farther. Because I'd like to pretend I'm too busy to discuss politics because they can become quite tedious to discuss. :P

Also god dammit I didn't want these too STILL be about politics. Lol.

Quick, someone change the subject. XD
@Vilageidiotx Don't focus on the link itself, focus on the several accurate studies inside the link. You cannot automatically assume based on their polictical affliation that you can't have accurate information. Ignoring evidence will never get political discussion anywhere. xP

If the other link scares you too much. I'm willing to post others. Don't worry they don't bite. :P

I actually like Obama, and I didn't vote for the guy. I disagree with him strongly on plenty of things, but the way he has handled himself is respectable in my opinion. I suppose I don't believe somebody has to be my ideal candidate for me to like them. And also, having grown up politically in the Bush years, it isn't going to take much to impress me anyway.

And no, it won't magically give them a perfectly equal shot, but it will give them the resources to make a real effort. The internet has helped a lot in evening the playing ground for people like Sanders or Paul, and their popularity on the internet does seem to show that their messages resonate if they can be heard. The media is corrupt only in the sense that they speak the duel language of money and popularity, and if you took the power of a Clinton or a Trump to dominate through their checkbooks, I think good candidates would get the ability to get their name out their on their own terms, and that from there they'd be able to make up the difference through their policies and personalities.


I guess the only real thing I can say in defensive for Obama. (and Bush.) Is it's a lot damn harder being president than people think it is...Other than that, the whole "they are both stupid" argument is preposterous. Yeah, Bush got "C'S" Yuk yuk. At Yale, a prestigious college where you most likely would never be accepted into. I suppose a lot of reasons why people "hate" them are quite poor and invalid reasons.

Or things like Ted Cruz is Canadian, or Obama had Muslim parents. That kind of meaningless B.S. But, what is politics without stupidity?

I mean if you believe that, I understand why you support him. I can't really confirm or deny speculation.
@Ace of Hearts Hi again. How are you? :P
@Vilageidiotx I mean it's not exactly a myth. Corporations elect the politicians, and they give them the subsides and etc. Taxes kill them too. It's why so many businesses go elsewhere. To just give you better information then I can provide, I'll just send you a link. XP

breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/1.. (This is quite long but it has a lot of information on what I mentioned, has several useful links.)
@Vilageidiotx Well I think people like Sanders, is because how likable he is. And yeah...politics completely aside. He doesn't come off as a raging asshole like Trump or Clinton does. (Though that's the same reason Bush and Obama got elected, because Kerry/Mitt came off as raging assholes.) Both came off as likable individuals. But does anyone really LIKE Obama or Bush anymore? I don't think so...(don't lie people. :I)

But do I think he'd magically give people like Ron Paul a chance from getting elected. Hell no. Media on both sides is way too corrupt to ever let that happen. Maybe it's just the pessimist in me, but the next four years, no matter who gets elected. Will mean next to nothing for most of the population. The other side is going to fight the president the whole time, even if they are proactive in trying to something instead of going on vacations every 2 minutes. And literally nothing will be accomplished, the two party divide thing is so extreme, real issues don't even matter anymore. That's why you see people liking an idea coming from their party but hating it when the exact same idea comes from the other side.

I'll say you're probably right. Clinton's probably been in all four quadrants as much as she flip-flops. I've seen that site before, and actually used some of the information there on my senior research paper. It's a good site, but a political compass is a nice little visual reference you can take a glance at real quick and get a feel for things.

It's also important to keep in mind that American politics are largely, extremely right as it is, so anything close to the y-axis on a, or at least the specific political compass I used, is considered "left" by American standards. At least, so I've been told.


@Multifarious You're quite correct there. Haha. That piss off a lot of people of the left in the USA I can tell you that, since being call a right winger here, is esstianally the new word for calling someone hitler or a nazi. XP
