That's okay, I know how to turn my washing machine into a centrifuge if need be.

I think killing the open bar was a mistake.

Every forum I'm on is dead.

It's alarming.

The world is actually emptying out. There are fewer people in existence.


On the plus side, we'll be seeing a big upswing in "Urban Decay" photography.

Good.  I was getting sick of all the people.

Well if you stopped eating them a whole box at a time that wouldn't happen.

Granted.

Let me be clear though.  I love cities, but I can't stand people.  The cities are fantastic constructions, byways, throughways, undergrounds, overpasses, buildings and infrastructure.  I'd love to wander through them "Myst" style, empty of any human fuckery or crowding.  Just walking through and explorign at my own pace.  Seeing every corner and back room, every thoroughfare, gallery, penthouse, and rooftop.
I'm fine with their being other people, just none in my face unless I feel like it, and there are currently too many about for that to happen.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It's about time!

I like people. I don't like crowds, overcrowding, or poverty.

Crowds suck. I really can't stand them. My brother thinks crowds are fun and says that I'm just antisocial, to which I always want to reply Are you aware of how little it would take for us to be trampled right now? or I don't like the idea of hundreds of strangers breathing on/rubbing against me.

Eh, I hate crowds too. The fucking noise and the pressure and the smells and....I need a axe.

I love crowds. And cities. Big cities. Dense cities. Preferably big dense tropical cities awash in the stench of humanity and corruption.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Triple Zero

I'm also glad the OB is gone. When we talked about it, I was like either way is fine, but after a while, yeah. What Freeky and Cram said, the board seems less moody without it, and while people's important life events were interesting, having them scattered between 3 pages of inane trivialities was not.

Well, I'm glad THAT incarnation of Open Bar is gone.  It was actually a pretty decent thread when I first joined and there was a bit more comedy and creativity involved (e.g. The Scrid) and it wasn't just the "Here's what's going on with my life" thread.
