Happy Birthday, Walley!

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:22:38 +0000

Oh and I just can't resist this- besides, you'd totally deserve 2 cakes on your birthday just for being a super awesome friend, family man, worker and someone with just an amazing soul. I've said this before and I'll say it again and again, I'm so grateful to have met you for you've been such an amazing friend to me.

How could you not have a guitar cake on your birthday, eh?

Walley, all the best wishes to you, my friend and may this new year of your life be fulfilling, successful, and full of joy, love and warmth around you. Many many years of friendship ahead! Happy birthday!

Thought I'd wander in

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:06:32 +0000

Hi everyone

I'd better introduce myself. I'm an older dude living north of the border. I have a hard time relating to people, but I do ok on the internet. I guess this is my world, and I hope I can make friends in this forum.

I like scifi, gardening and tree farming, woodworking and crafty projects, and I like to sing, although I don't much do it in public. My poor animals are my unwilling audience. I don't care if anyone hears me, I sing because I like to sing, not to impress anyone.

Well, that's enough outta me. I'm gonna shut up now and see what everyone else is talking about. I'm glad to be here, and I hope to meet all of you soon.

Sooo, there's a snake in my car

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:08:02 +0000

Right now. This minute. And, he won't come out. And, he is aggressive. He already tried to bite a couple of guys at work.

I had to leave my car at the office, in hopes that he would go away during the night. But, instead...I am paralyzed with fear that he will hide under my seat, like a stalking ninja, to bite me tomorrow.

I hate fucking snakes. I really do.

Xbox One-Eighty

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:55:01 +0000

In a very interesting turn of events... Microsoft have backpedaled on their DRM policies.
They've removed always online, and they've removed all policies about this crap with used games.

Personally, I think they should have stuck to their guns... I'm not sure how this'll boost sales. Guess we'll see.
Either way, Sony won the initial battle, but they definitely haven't won the console war.

Here's the full announcement.

----------------------------

Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.

For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.

You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.

So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:

An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games– After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.

These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.

We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.

Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

Cold Fusion Verified 10,000 x Gas

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:54:40 +0000

Cold fusion reactor independently verified, has 10,000 times the energy density of gas.

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/15639...ity-of-gas

Quote:Against all probability, a device that purports to use cold fusion to generate vast amounts of power has been verified by a panel of independent scientists. The research paper, which hasn’t yet undergone peer review, seems to confirm both the existence of cold fusion, and its potency: The cold fusion device being tested has roughly 10,000 times the energy density and 1,000 times the power density of gasoline. Even allowing for a massively conservative margin of error, the scientists say that the cold fusion device they tested is 10 times more powerful than gasoline — which is currently the best fuel readily available to mankind.

How safe is it to sell my computer to a stranger?

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:43:39 +0000

I put a listing on craigslist to sell a netbook I had. I put it at $200 and this guy offered me $300 over paypal if I would send it to him since hes in another state. I just thought this seems fishy as why would anyone offer me $300 for an old NETBOOK?? You could go to the store and buy a cheap computer for that. I did restore the system to its factory settings so it seems brand new, and none of my data can be directly accessed.

But I know that this data is still within my hard drive as 1s and 0s until the computer overwrites it with something else. I dont think i ever did anything real important on it, but sometime in the past, perhaps a year ago or more, I had a password application on it, and I may have accessed a bank account or something. Is it easy for people to extract information from the hard drive?

Thanks!

Am I forgetting to breathe?

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:31:47 +0000

I know this sounds weirder than what you would have ever heard on this forum but this might be a product of living with anxiety for too long or something like that.

When I'm in deep thought (usually alone), I often start feeling a heavy chest. When I suddenly snap back into consciousness (the real world), I'd notice that I have held my breath and that is what is making me feel that way. And it is totally involuntary for me.

Also, the amount that my chest/stomach expands while breathing has decreased substantially. I'm not sure if something other than my mental illnesses is causing this (like a cardiac illness maybe) but does anyone here relate to this?

advice

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:06:26 +0000

Although i know what i need to do, clearly i just want some help on how to go about it.
my brother just had a baby girl 6 months ago. and i came to visit my family from interstate, the day i got here was the party of my cousins little girls first birthday...
wait, before i go any more. when i was younger from as far back as i remember up until the age of 16 i was molested by a relative. and i have kept my mouth shut for my whole 24 years of living. i have always put it to the back of my head, even though i know it has been the cause of most of my issues...
but one of the reasons i never said anything was i know how much my auntie loves this man (her husband), and his kids adore him, i just couldn't bring myself to break up a family. but seeing him with my cousins girls and my niece made me psychically ill. he wasn't touching them inappropriately but i knew he could and most likely will. and i cant let that happen
i thought about killing the man, i was all ready with a plan but i cant kill another person, i know im not that strong nad couldnt live with myself if i did. and i know i need to do something about it but how? there's no evidence. im 24 and never said a word, how can anyone believe this 'kind loving' man could do such a putrid thing?
i don't wanna do it for me, its about the little ones now. but what about his family? and i know what this would do to my nan aswell
i am torn from right and wrong
just how and what should i do???

7 of 10 Hate their Job

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:33:51 +0000

Pretty much says it all. Here's a holy cross and some garlic to keep away the protestant work ethic vampires.

Quote:Seven out of 10 workers have "checked out" at work or are "actively disengaged," according to a recent Gallup survey.

In its ongoing survey of the American workplace, Gallup found that only 30 percent of workers are "were engaged, or involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their workplace." Although that equals the high in engagement since Gallup began studying the issue in 2000, it is overshadowed by the number of workers who aren't committed to a performing at a high level -- which Gallup says costs companies money.

The poll, released last week, examined worker engagement beginning in 2010 and ending in 2012. The previous poll period covered 2008 through 2010.

Family Relationships

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:01:28 +0000

Are family really that important? I found them to be the most annoying and most selfish people ever. To not even realized the most simplest things or why something went wrong in the family and blame it all on others.
What to have a constant nagging mom who only cares about money and bribes me with gifts when she needs help. Constamtly saying how im so worthless what because I don't live up to her expectations.A dad who thinks he is the one suffering the most and doing fucking bullshit to help the family when he not doing anything but sitting his ass on the couch drinking and going on a temper drive over how the family is fucking ruined when a coffee mug spills. He's probably the worst.May I mention I have a sister that is probably selfish and probably only cares for her wellbeing as well as things she only will want to care about. She only Choose what to take responsobilities for and not what she should. As well as always wasting money on stupid shit and asking money when it's pretty obvious that are mom can't always simply give and satisfy all her disires. My entire family thinks they are suffering the most and not even considering what others are even thinking or why they would be.

Remembering John

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:00:06 +0000

A few days ago Jilted John came into my mind whilst I was on here.

I've been talking to Naleena and we thought it would be a nice idea to put together a piece on what we thought of him as a member here. Just a short story on what he meant to us and what he did to help us.

We can then send this on to his family, showing our appreciation for his time here and that he won't be forgotten. He was a decent, old welsh bugger!

I know it's always pleasing to hear from others what a loved one meant to them.

If anyone is interested then please add your part!

Thanks,

Poguesy.

Also Feeling Lost In This World With No Direction

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:34:25 +0000

Ok this isn't going to be a negative rant. I'm not going to be pointing fingers at society or bad mouthing people but here goes.

A member here knows what sort of a mess I've got myself into. I feel I am relying on others to make me happy and I become so emotionally attached to people beyond belief and when thins change or they don't go my way. I et angry, feel abandoned and isolated.

It's just I feel so lost with everyone and everything around me. So..Disconnected. I no longer have the motivation to do anything in the world out there. it just seems all overwhelming. people who've seen my posts here know my opinions and like I said, not going to go there.

I'm developing serious social anxiety problems even to the point where I don't wanna be on Skype anymore and talk to people. 2 members here knows what's going on and of course for decency and confidentiality, I will not name those two people.

My friend recently dropped off the face of the earth (it was his birthday last Sunday. tried calling him, his gf even answered and said he was in the shower, she would've told him as I know her 100%) it feels like he doesn't want me to be around. many of you wills ay 'he might be busy' but let's be realistic. it doesn't take two minutes to pick up a phone and inform me what his plans were or if he was unable to do anything. Before last weekend he always used to do this. So no excuse there.
This amongst other factors has left me feeling very wary of people. I work with the public so I'm gonna have to try hard to keep a lid on things. When I walk down the street or in the outside world, I do not even want to make 'eye contact' with anyone anymore. I just feel like the game if life is rigged against me. Especially after the last...4 years maybe?

I'm just not sire what to do. I love my own company and thoughts more and more and with the last few days I'm learning tis not worth to tell people your true feelings about things. I've learnt its not worth telling people too much about yourself.

Anyone been here?

M

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:48:32 +0000

I'll get straight to the point. I am M. http://www.alonelylife.com/member.php?ac...&uid=60843

That guy.

It was part of the plan i made to get my brain back to normal functioning, which it hadn't, since that little breakdown from work i had. All i could come up with was either that, or to plunge myself in a depression. The second option had too much downsides, so i chose project M.

M was supposed to be smart guy, and by making mentally challanging threads, i would be able to activate my brain again. Why not on Rose? Well, the reasons i had back then were that, as rose, i had an image to keep up. People expected me to behave a certain way. Or so i thought. I couldn't be coldly honest on Rose, as that would ruin my only social outlet. Obviously, M is nothing more than a product of weakness on my part.

Project M didn't go that well, and i ended up just saying things i thought deep down on Rose instead, with disasterous results. I made serious mistakes the past 24 hours, and confessing to this utter bullshit i came up with is part of the punishment i need to give me.

I'm well on my way to the second option, the depression part. It might have more drawbacks, but at least i'm not bothering people that don't need to be bothered with that one.

I'm writing this all very fast, before i change my mind and keep M a secret still, so i probably skipped alot of reasons and all that stuff. But i just can't focus on it, i just can't remember much. All i know is that it was very weak of me to do so, and that i need to pay for what i've done yesterday.

Commence scolding.

My Dog

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:20:44 +0000

Well, today, I found my dog sitting and leaning against the table with his head tilted to one side. He then fell down and he has not been able to get up ever since. My mom and I took him to the vet and the vet said that if my dog doesn't improve in two days that the best option is to put him down.

My dog isn't eating. He isn't drinking.

I don't think that he is going to make it. ;(

Please keep him in your thoughts. I just need some support.

I'm lost

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:12:45 +0000

So I don't even know how I came to post up on here but I might as well.

As of lately, I have become overwhelmed with life and the responsibilities and expectations that comes with being a man.

I never did well in high school. I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age and me nor my family ever wanted to accept that there was something wrong with me.

It has finally hit me that I have learned nothing about the real world. I feel like I have brain damage or something. If I have the motivation, I can do anything I want but I always lose whatever I have learned.

I work full time as a cook and I feel like its going no where. I have lost all my friends because I always find a way to forget everything that we discussed.

I'm not a bad looking person by any means. I'm musically inclined and I know I have talents but I always feel so insignificant because of my lack of sustained knowledge. People always say I'm the crazy one or that I have the personality of an 8 year old.

I honestly don't even know were to go from here. I haven't been outside of my house in 3 months besides going to work. The girl that I was seeing keeps trying to talk to me but I forgot everything that we talked about. It drives me crazy that we had so much in common but that I screwed it all up because of my memory problems.

Anyways I don't know what else to say. I'm just jotting down excuses and bullshit because that's all I have anymore. I don't want to fail my family or myself anymore, but its just gotten to a point to were I can't even organize my life anymore.
