And I don't hate anyone, apart from a handful of really obnoxiously rude people (*And people with internaly inconsistent logic, and stupid people*), and you're definitely not rude.

Wouldn't you have only been like 16? That's not very creepy...
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I don't think people are usually surprised when I tell them I'm 19. More often, people seem to be surprised that I'm currently in my second year of college (albeit only for 3 more weeks) because I hang around with older students so much.
If I have a few days of stubble, people tend to get my age right, but if I'm clean-shaven, I will get mistaken for a teenager. It's happened to me several times, actually.
So, I like Lubuntu's speed on my netbook, but LXDE HAZ NO TEHMES and the file manager is slow as hell for some reason. I don't think it's Dropbox because that was working fine when I first installed it.

...How much space do you guys think would be required for a decent dual-boot setup? I'd like to install some derivative of Ubuntu on this computer (probably Lubuntu or Xubuntu), but it only has a 250 GB hard drive.
Every once in awhile, at random, Rhythm Tengoku throws down the virtual gauntlet and challenges you to get a perfect game on a stage you've already beaten. And while you can try it up to three times until you get it right, if you ignore it and choose another game, the challenge disappears, potentially forever. And, are you going to stand for that crap? It'd be awesome to see this applied randomly in other games. Like you boot up your Xbox 360, and a stern message, passively aggressively written in that calm, professional system font, pops up. Hey. You. Fucker. Beat Chapter 2 of Gears of War 3 without dying on Hardcore difficulty. What? Can't do it? You a pussy? And you could decline this request, and technically the Xbox wouldn't think of less of you. But it'd bite at the back of your soul, if you're the kind of person that lets that thing get to you, anyway.
So am I the only person who thinks this would suck most of the fun out of video games as a whole?

I'm pretty sure you're not the only one, Lazuli. Though despite being a bit of a perfectionist myself, the "potentially forever" bit doesn't really bother me as much.
Speaking of perfectionist, come on, Pokémon HeartGold. You gave me a Jolly female Totodile once, you can do it again. I know there's only a 0.5% chance of it coming up, but I'm not giving up. (Though I will settle for Naive if that comes up)

I've been consistently under the impression he was in his mid-40s. I didn't come up with that on my own but I don't remember where I got that from.
I can practice my karate and lose my anger at the same time!
FWIW, Lee and I are both in our 30s. We are the GRUMPY OLD MEN of the Heap.
I got hit on by a pettanko once. Most pointless thing ever
I consistently forget that you're not 22.
I have no idea where 22 came from, but that is your age in my brain.
It's more or less been put on a permanent hiatus now.
^get off my lawn
What are you going to do old man?
Oh god, I used to think he was around 22 too.
ALL OF YA

and take their weapons leaving them dead
Isn't he, like, 5,000 years old?
One of the benefits (?) of having Time as a girlfriend is that She makes me immortal.
^I typically get mistaken for being younger than I am, both in real life and on the internets.
Maybe youthful looks are genetic? I dunno.
