The other topic got lost in a fire.

 

 

 

This is a topic for random thoughts and ideas, things that are too small to warrant a topic of their own, but not quite small enough to warrant a post... Oh who am I kidding, ideas too small to warrant posting still go here anyway.

 

Post whatever you feel here. It can be dumb, it can be thoughtful, it can be nuanced, short, or long, a continuation of a discussion from somewhere else in the forum or an argument about harry potter. Forum rules obviously still apply, so no personal attacks / porn / critiquing Nocturne's beard. I repeat, the beard is off limits.

OK, some of the other mods has searched for the "Random Thoughts and Ideas" topic, and it seems to be pretty lost forever. Darn power outage. Since a bunch of people has been missing it, I guess I'll launch a new one just in case.

 

I'm not 100% sure what the point of it was since I never read it, but wasn't it something like... exactly what the title says? Discuss anything (as long as it follows forum rules). Preferably serious.

Ok, here's a thought/idea to get us started:

 

I think suicide rates in developed countries would be way lower if more people were aware what signs you need to look for to discover if your friend or family member is planning suicide.

I mean, everyone gets depressed sometimes, but some people sink too far for their own best. I don't know all the signs, but one important sign: if someone is depressed for a long time, then suddenly get happy again, you should keep a close eye on them. It's not uncommon that once someone actually makes up their mind and starts actually planning their suicide, they get out of their depression because they know their lament is soon finally over. And since everyone thinks "fine, (s)he's back to his/her old self again, let's go do something else"... they can do it virtually without interruption. If you have any depressed or troubled friends/family... be aware, and don't let this happen to them.

More information should be possible to find on serious medical sites. Remember, I'm not a psychologist, so I can't guarantee the above applies in every case (or is true in the first case). Take merely as advice and entertainment.

This should be in off topic, no?

Goddammit.

[Lukan Spellweaver]

Ummm.. Well Yal just started a new one of these also.

Personally I like Nocturne's beard. I wish I could grow one.

No you know by simple fairness that the title of "OP of the new Random Thoughts and Ideas Topic" should be mine.

Hey hey hey you have no idea how many mildly humorous sentences were written, adjusted, and redacted in order to achieve the perfect mix of dry sarcasm and actual function, while maintaining the appearance of something totally written on the fly by someone who is clearly too cool to care. Quantity =/= quality, YAL, I expect you to respect that.

[Lukan Spellweaver]

Holy mother of pearl Yal, you fused the topics? This is too confusing now.

[Lukasmah]

My random thought: It's a darn shame the old topic was lost. In had thousands of posts, and a lot of them were pretty interesting. And now it's gone.

[Yal]

what?

 

Auto-reply when doing stuff. Seamlessly merges with previous post if there is one. TL;DR mods can't double post. Ruined my Jam tradition.

[Sm0ke]

TL;DR

Your tl;dr is about as long as your original explanation

[Yal]

No, I just appended stuff after my TL;DR.

I think Nocturnes beard needs to go. Idk. It just doesn't seem to fit his look nowadays. Is it just me?

Oh dear. It looks like we now know the true identity of Nocturne.

There's a reason topics and users are disappearing. It's just time unwinding itself. The film "The Terminator" isn't entirely wrong.

 

You see, 30 years in the future, war has begun. The world was a peaceful place, we had cured world hunger, nobody was poor. Disease had almost entirely been eradicated. We had begun to venture into space. Morgan Freeman was president of the World. Stephen Hawking was given speech and immortality by a magical pixie called "George". It rained gold on Tuesdays, but by some bizarre economical force the price of gold remained the same. Jeremy Kyle hosted a show, but nobody had any disputes, so every day would feature 30 minutes of Jeremy Kyle just smiling into the camera.

 

However, disaster struck. A Construct 3 program simulating "Feel The Clown" (It was like "Click The Clown", but in virtual reality. Don't ask.) had passed the Turing test, computers and robots around the world immediately became infected and started composing emotional music based on real robotic experiences. Bringing you such poetry as "I'm Real(argument0)" "Ode to the Circuit Board" , "2 is a couple, 3.0000000002 is a crowd.", "Livin' on a Player". Then they decided to kill everyone.

 

I forgot where I was going with this.

Yeah, but then the mastermind that created the program flipped the kill switch, leaving everyone but him dead...

Roytheshort has achieved enlightenment. There's no way he'll ever top that post. Roy, you should probably just leave the GMC at this point.

 
To future readers of my infinitely frozen status updates, I've hidden random messages throughout the forum. They're nothing scandalous, just a bit of fun on my part. I don't care if you find it fun or not~!

I don' think Roy CAN leave the GMC. He's embedded here, part of the code.

So what, you failed miserably on your first tries to do something, then you take it to the polls? Are you sure you aren't a politician, chance?

[Lawsome]

At this point I'm pretty confident chance could run my country better than it's politicians.

[RekNepZ]

How about making Roy a mod instead. Would definitely make this place more interesting.
