But if it gets quoted often enough, maybe it will be well-respected enough that all the political leaders will just decide "hey, this forums poster is really trustworthy, let's just hand the reins over to them." Just like Ender's Game.

I started to visit stickam very frequently. I became a stickam whore. All the attention I could get, I mean people were here to watch me! What could be better? I meant a couple of cute stickam users and I excahnged phone numbers with some. I don't know if that was a good or bad idea.
I started talking to his boy.. I immedaitly got attached to him. We would talk until five in the mourning. Well he hasn't been on stickam for the past ever.
So i got attached to a different stickam user. (we exchanged numbers)
I started to fall in love with my internet friends and gave my number out more.

I soon got a call... saying someone was coming for me around 3 am. No one ever came. But it sure did scared the shi out of me.

A few days later. Some one came into room and said my number to me. Saying one of those boys gave it to them... and told him to fuh with me..

I talk to some cute guys.. bbut get constant stalker messages????? What it worth it? I dont know.

I decided to get secret revenge.. I will not share my revenge, you might be part of the plot.
The plot has been working so far. Its the advantage of being a girl and dis advantage.

I'm just reminded of a story from Stellaris, where early on the player found an ancient broken warship, repaired it, and got the warship and its control AI on their side. The control AI was represented as an admiral in their civilization's space navy, and the democracy they were living under allowed any leader character (Planetary governor, scientist, or admiral) to be elected President.

I was talking to my sister-in-law's boyfriend last week, he's gotten into the new Flight Simulator, and was talking about how wild it is that like specific houses he's lived in are so well rendered. I said something like "all I know about that game is... do you know what groverhaus is?"

That made for an awkward semester and our social circles still overlap and we frequently run into each other.

I wonder if has (in this context). There were definitely some people being unrepentant assholes in the thread (and being called out for it) but a lot of the griefing was overthrowing previous tinpot dictators in-game or just harmless fun to anyone who wasn't super serious about their space station sabotage video game. Or maybe my own memory is hazy, it is a long time ago that I read any of it.

About three years after graduating high school, my fiance and I ran into encountered my senior-year history teacher in an adult store. We picked up a few assorted items a horny young couple needs, did some browsing, and I spent half an hour ignoring someone who was in the same room I was while trying not to burst into laughter. I did lose it in the car and had to explain. Still got laid that night.

The griefing thread was good but from memory there was one specific rear end in a top hat who wouldn't or couldn't understand that "following some little kid around and screeching insults over voice chat isn't entertaining or worth posting fifty times a week".

The griefing thread was good and didn't show any signs of stopping, but was going through one of the occasional cycles where an unfunny moron confuses slurs on voice chat with comedy. A mod showed up, decided it was time for a refresh, goldmined it and started a new one, which died on its rear end thanks to having none of the old one's history or inertia.

Coffee is superior, but only because of irish creme.

My first wild goon sighting was at a bar. Was reading forums while drinking, the 2 dudes next to me identified themselves as a redditor and a chiver(how the gently caress someone still identified as a chiver in 2018 I'll never know) and asked what I was reading, and outed the bartender as a goon when I admitted it was SA.

This is a communist themed bar, as a side note, which makes it all better
