Did you use those things to your advantage?

...well, I suppose I did, and I do, at that. >:3 I am a demon, after all, one has to use whatever gifts one happens to have...

...as well as things you've taken or made by yourself. -w-

doppelgangers

LOLWAT :V

Well, at least I've never had to deal with that problem...the most weirdness about my fashionism is the dual-/triple-/quad-wielding of collars, and going about in suits/jackets most of the time, which isn't usually very fun to duplicate for others...
...and the ponytail isn't exactly easy mode to rip off either. /pun :V

The tech sector needs to raise their standards like... you know... hiring people who know how to use computers properly! I've had to deal with some incompetent tech support before.

Tell me about it. This time around they told us to DO AN IPCONFIG RELEASE SINCE CLEARLY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT, BUT THE SAME ERROR ON _ALL_ OUR COMPUTERS REGARDLESS OF DIFFERENCES IN OPERATIVE SYSTEMS/BRAND/HARDWARE/ETC, seriously, what_the_fuck_is_wrong_with_these_idiots.png.

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
a lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Hiya ...

I've disabled a few sigs which exceed too much regarding what we agreed on maximum size (understand : what i agreed with myself). Nothing personal
Feel free to put them back, just with a bit of resize. If you want to upload them on the forum so you can control the size, instead of linking, i'm fine with it (just create a topic for that, for ex, one topic for everyone should be ok)

I consider i wasn't too picky - even if ppl who had their sig disabled will think i am - since i tolerated up to 110px ( more than +20% than what was defined) while it was said 90px.

Apart from that, i tried the move of this domain on the new server, which ended in a total failure, it just doesn't fit. Even with lube. (see attached pict.) So i'll have to consider another and of course, more expensive option regarding what i planned. This shouldn't be a problem for the existance of that site, since i definitely plan to keep it, but i have to think about the impact on my expenses.

Hey, this is what the drive thread was for. Call 'em in, if it gets too much, it's what it's there for! -w-

Whoa... You have relatives that doubt you?! That's awful!

don't act so shocked. it can be pretty commonplace sometimes. i come from a fairly screwed-up home, where my father (the grumbly ol bastard) has said to me that i would never make it as an artist.
my grandmother (whom is really very sweet and i luff alot) has also tried to discourage me from taking creative classes. is it just coincidence that they are both born in the chinese year of the rooster and both just a little racist? :\

...but I'm curious... were your classmates were choosing to wear braces, or was it just a coincidence?

coincidence, i think. i was scheduled to get them anyway, but my insurance downgraded just as i was going in. dodged the bullet indiana jones-style there. ^^;
my teeth aren't that bad, so i don't NEED them. just a small overbite, is all. :3

Sorry you had to go to summer school... How was that?...

suckish. the other kids called me "cleetus", still don't quite understand that one. :\ maybe it's cause i wore overalls on the first day?
i failed french, and another class (can't remember for the life of me) that year, which is why i had to go.
i'm thankful that's the only year i went, and if it weren't for that horrid time, i never would have made the plushie my sister dubbed "The Voodoo Banana". xD

...and the ponytail isn't exactly easy mode to rip off either.

sparkly as usual, master! *o*

HIDE YOUR LOLIS!

I think I brought this up last year in the Top(ic)less Thread in the H-section, but now the guy has been officially tried and convicted.  Christopher Handley's getting 6 months on charges of obscenity.  On top of that, he's also getting 3 years supervised release, 5 years probation, and a "treatment program" (I'm somehow reminded of Sgt. Hatred's Nomolesterol --; ).  It's times like these my faith in the American legal system is so richly rewarded >_>...

Go get those criminals!

[Red-Machine]

I'm actually a little worried about this.  You all know how I feel about lolicon...

[IanDanKilmaster]

I had no idea >_>...

Keep in mind this is the US, and it's the first case here where someone was successfully tried on loli alone (other cases involved loli, but the defendants were also found to be in possession of actual child porn).  I don't know how the laws differ across the pond, but you can probably find a shitload of info on wikipedia.  I know the laws seem to be getting more stringent in general over there, but I don't think you should be fretting just yet...

EDIT: Of course, if UNICEF has its way, NO ONE will have lolis.

Damn assholes screwing up my finances. THIS is why the Mauu is fluctuating these days. THIS. SERIOUSLY. GO DIE.

so tired im gonna die

So they cost him his job, took his freedom, and took his computer (along with other possessions), but hey, he won't have to register as a sex offender, right?

I love living in the land of the free...

[Chocofreak13]

personally, i don't like this, in the fact that he was tried for MANGA. FRICKEN MANGA. no ACTUAL kids were hurt in the making of this MANGA.
i hate child porn as much as the next upstanding citizen, but loli manga is just that, manga. i think it's more about how people are too "uncomfortable" with lolicon. free speech my ass.
fricken' right-wing facists....

[IanDanKilmaster]

You pretty much make a good point, but this doesn't have to be political...

You'd think maybe there was one lawyer that would see this as an opportunity, but I guess not.

[Chocofreak13]

where was he from again? i'm unsure if free speech exists anywhere around texas :\ except austin, maybe? i'm a democrat, what can i say.

i feel bad for the guy. me and a friend sifted through piles of os-kiddie-porn in the warp zone to find the few GOOD (non-porn) pics among them. my sould died a bit, but it was worth it for the amount of artwork i found. ^^ i should re-search sometime....

still. we have what is known as FREE SPEECH in this country, or so i thought. if no kids get hurt, then i see no problem. this sort of thing doen't really lead to molestation....animoos are harmeless, for the most part.

[IanDanKilmaster]

Iowa... the midwest, doncha know?

Free speech exists everywhere, but of course, there are limits.  It's when you decide to place limits and where that you encounter problems.  There's a thin line between keeping the peace and punishing thought crime.

The problem here is, the case was decided by a jury of his "peers", and if you've seen Let's Go to Prison you know the problem...
