(Geez, I’m “gone” for the weekend and come back to 15 alerts and 400+ posts just in here.)

So today has extremely unproductive considering I was asleep for 10~ hours after being up so long and then only been watching TV and exterminating ants in the past three hours and 30 minutes I’ve been awake. Hurray, especially since some of these ants are all over me now. Stupid hirsute legs. Now my skin is literally crawling. Ugh. Need a shower and a long bath.

Anyway, going to just to reply to everything of interest that I saw via spoilers, save that instance of Sarangha cursing for seemingly the first time ever since I haven’t bothered watching any videos (yet):

Besides the “Japanese” rumors as was said, it was apparently on the front page or something that an American dev for the game has been hinting it as well supposedly.

Shrug. I’ve hardly been playing much attention to any game lately aside from P4A and that’s only moderate considering the Youtube problems I’m still having (on Firefox).[/details]

If they’re turning SF4 into Madden, then perhaps they’ve finally realized how much of the American fighting game community is black.[/details]

That indeed sounds quite nice.

I wonder how long that last, though, especially since it’s right next door to China.[/details]

"I would defend their freedom of speech if I thought it was in jeopardy. I would defend their freedom of speech to tell uninspired, bigoted, blowjob, gay-bashing, racist and rape jokes all under the guise of being edgy, but that’s not the edge. That’s what sells. They couldn’t possibly pander any harder or be more commercially mainstream, because this is the “Oh no, you didn’t say that!” generation, where a shocking comment has more weight than the truth. No one has any shame anymore, and we’re supposed to celebrate it. I saw a woman throw a used tampon at another woman last night on network television, a network that bills itself as “Today’s Woman’s Channel”. Kids beat each other blind and post it on Youtube. I mean, do you remember when eating rats and maggots on Survivor was shocking? It all seems so quaint now. I’m sure the girls from “2 Girls 1 Cup” are gonna have their own dating show on VH-1 any day now. I mean, why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized? "

“It’s not nice to laugh at someone who’s not all there. It’s the same type of freak-show distraction that comes along every time a mighty empire starts collapsing. “American Superstarz” is the new colosseum and I won’t participate in watching a show where the weak are torn apart every week for our entertainment. I’m done, really, everything is so “cool” now. I just want it all to stop. I mean, nobody talks about anything anymore. They just regurgitate everything they see on TV, or hear on the radio or watch on the web. When was the last time you had a real conversation with someone without somebody texting or looking at a screen or a monitor over your head? You know, a conversation about something that wasn’t celebrities, gossip, sports, or pop politics. You know, something important, something personal.”

"No they don’t. They have good pitch… they’re relatively clean, they’re non-threatening to little girls and old ladies, they have the ability to stand in line with a stadium full of other desperate and confused people, but I assure you they are talent-free. "

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Everything about this movie.

Guys cmon. Lets go and kill all the people.

Why would you post all this without saying what movie you were talking about? I know you eventually said it was God Bless America, but still.

Also, as much as I agree with most of that, you’re still focusing on things that are ultimately inconsequential to why humanity should really be destroyed.[/details]

Enjoy that scissoring, Ms. Garrison.[/details]

Nah. As goodm0urning quickly pointed out, they’d basically implode after a certain size, which is indeed a good thing since, like with spiders, they’re a lot more industrious and stronger (for their size) than us. Then again, most animals are still “better” than humans in terms of most physical attributes. We’re only really better than in terms of (potential) intelligence, which of course a lot of people fail out, and maybe sexuality.

That said, as implied at the beginning of this post, fuck ants.[/details]

Now to post in the Sci Fi TV thread that no one else ever posts in.

NickRocks · August 21, 2012, 8:37am

15 alerts? thats it?

if i come back to 15 alerts its a really slow day i get likes from threads i posted in 3 months ago still. can you believe i got a like today for that mcdonalds incident thread? I had to click it just to remember what I even said

anyways, FUCK YEAH AQUAMAN

Havatchu · August 21, 2012, 8:45am

Great, Aquaman is still a joke.

P.Gorath · August 21, 2012, 8:47am

I find it hilariously sickening that there are people here (and by here I mean the fg forums) who’ve been members for less than a year and yet have almost 7,000 posts, all of them saying nothing.

AYO · August 21, 2012, 8:51am

I don’t even know how that is possible.

Havatchu · August 21, 2012, 8:52am

They don’t have a job, obviously.

angryliberal · August 21, 2012, 8:55am

I have a job I can post from and I still don’t have enough worthwhile things to say in a day worth 20+ posts…and I promise you I have 20X the number of worthwhile things to say compared to these kids…

Stabby · August 21, 2012, 8:58am

been here for eight years longer than nickguy, he has 2k more posts

Amazing_Funbags · August 21, 2012, 8:58am

The OTT would like a word with you.

God that vid Manx posted was annoying. “East CoastX100” Okay we get it STFU

ThePurpleBunny · August 21, 2012, 9:00am

Whose fault is that, slackass?

Spent all that time conspiring with the oranges instead of posting.

SNAAAAKE · August 21, 2012, 9:00am

lol I have less than him…

BRB POSTING MORE RIGHT NOW

The_Damned · August 21, 2012, 9:03am

(Oh, gods. Smaller Dirtdevils fucking hurt my ears.)

Wait, are we going to have this discussion about how a lot of new people are shit again? Because it’s not really a discussion so much as it is self-evident just given the sheer influx of people we got after SF4.

So noted.

However, given the sporadic way that I’ve noticed that the alerts system works, I’m now convinced that most of the people who get such a short amount of likes in such amount of time either get quoted a lot or get “liked” a lot. Also, potentially, just post in a lot of varying threads in a relatively short amount of time.

This would explain why, indeed, I never usually get that many. Sadface.

I literally laughed aloud at the cover.

I honestly wouldn’t blame Superfriends Aquaman for “snapping”.

Havatchu · August 21, 2012, 9:05am

You OG’s have been around much longer than the “likes” system, so it makes sense that you would have less.

Ha, geezers.

On posts momentarily, I stopped paying attention after 3,000. Anything after that and you’re SRGay fo life.

mIRC · August 21, 2012, 9:06am

2011, year of the SHITPOSTERS.

Am I the only one waiting anxiously for a new version of GGPO (that might not be coming)? I’ve been waiting for over a year now. I don’t want to rush Ponder but does anyone know anything? Three rereleases (JJBA, MSH, and MVC1) are hitting consoles, will they use GGPO? If so, does that mean he’s taking them off of GGPO? Maybe put other games (Cyberbots) in their stead?

WTF-AKUMA-HAX · August 21, 2012, 9:10am

nico nico sucks!

Havatchu · August 21, 2012, 9:12am

Your av reminded me I’ve yet to see if the newest Natsuyuki Rendezvouz is out yet.

AYO · August 21, 2012, 9:15am

Supercade has Cyberbots, but people have a hard on for GGPO. I do miss live watching matches and shit.

Manx · August 21, 2012, 9:18am

I dunno,but Infrit certainly did!

I still have yet to see what’s so frightening about Slender.

Recent Study Links T. Gondii Parasite to Suicidal Attempts

Posted in: Medical News by Filip Teodor 2 Comments on August 20th, 2012
Scientists have discovered that a very common and known to be harmless parasite can cause small changes in the brain that might actually lead to suicide attempts.
Toxoplasma gondii, or T. gondii can be found in almost a third of the world’s population. Although in most people it lies dormant, it can also cause toxoplasmosis. People can easily catch it by consuming undercooked meat, especially pork or lamb and by drinking contaminated water. The parasite reproduces in the cells of its primary hosts, all members of the feline family.
Toxoplasmosis can have serious effects on a fetus whose mother develops the disease during pregnancy or on an immunocompromised person. In time, brain inflammation may appear, which will release metabolites into the organism, damaging the brain cells.
Previous studies had found T.gondii responsible for behavioral changes and even suicide attempts. Researchers revealed that suicide victims and depressed patients presented small areas in the cerebrum with evidence of inflammation. A more recent study, lead by professor Lena Brundin has shown that people who are positive for the parasite are seven times more likely to attempt suicide.
Brundin and her team are the first ones to measure scores on a suicide assessment scale from people who have the parasite. They found that those who tested positive for Toxoplasma gondii were placed on a considerably higher spot on the scale, being more susceptible to severe diseases and future suicide attempts. On the other hand, professor Brundin highlighted the fact that for different reasons some individuals are more at risk of developing symptoms than others.

“It is estimated 90 percent of people who attempt suicide have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder. If we could identify those people infected with this parasite, it could help us predict who is at a higher risk”, said Brundin.

With over a decade of work behind, professor Brundin has discovered that the most effective treatment for depression is a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or SSRIs. These selective inhibitors increase the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter contributor to feelings of happiness and well-being. Moreover, her research also indicated that a low serotonin level in the cerebrum might be a symptom of depression and not the cause of it.
Depression is more likely to be caused by inflammation in the brain, from an infection or parasite rather than a serotonin reduction. According to professor Brundin, when parts of the brain are inflamed, its chemistry changes, which can easily cause depression and even suicide thoughts.
Lena Brundin also stated that biological changes are good constructive signs in people with suicidal thoughts because it helps develop new treatments in order to prevent this disease and gives patients the help they need to overcome depression.
