    Most used name

    Jim, Jane, Jean (pronounced like blue pants), John, June, Joe. My region loves monosyllabic given names starting with J, especially those ending with N. Family names are extremely diverse; there's a bit of history with non-native English speaking immigrants having their family names contorted in...

    Am i the only one who feels this way?

    I feel frightened when people use swear words. It's the last vestiges of a religious early education.

    Cool Class Ideas

    Burst Mage DEF/INT: A slower than usual magic caster capable of using both healing and attack magic, and some basic status effects. In exchange for having very high high defense, high intellegence, and a large mana pool, they don't have any range for their spells. Every spell they cast is area...

    RR the peak of people are pretty autistic

    I think the word you are looking for is misanthropic rather than autistic. Misanthopy 'dislike of people', is not a clinical disorder, but simple a trait that describes having little trust in humans or having a strongly negative bias against people in general. In contrast, autism is clinical...

    How old are you?!

    I am 32, look 23 and feel like my age is 8 + 62i. I got knocked off of the normal path of life progression when I was 8 and am drifting away from numeric age at 92% the speed of light.

    Decline in moral standards in web novels

    I have noticed that a lot of protagonists are becoming more bloodthirsty lately, but I don't personally see much correlation with real life morality. In terms of corporate media, they call it 'growing up with the target audience'.

    The difference between qi/ chi/ ki and stamina

    I figure stamina is purely the physical strength and resiliance of muscle and oxygen capacity of blood. Ki typically resembles a spiritual energy taken from outside, but utilized by the physical body rather than the mind or soul. Mana in contrast is usually said to be controlled by the mind. The...

    Anybody got Inner Monologue?

    I usually have an internal monologue. If I concentrate on my surroundings, it tends to reflexively narrate sound effects, without introducing many 'native' thoughts. For example, my monologue says 'crea~ky' when I open a door, or 'twitter tweet chirpy chirp' when there are a lot of songbirds...

    Harem or No Harem Team?

    It's true, communism is a fetish of mine. I might not want to see that much of it in reality, but it is a sexy philosophy.

    What are your crutches?

    If I am feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed, my "crutch" (or rather a maladaptive coping strategy that while harmful in the long run at least helps me remain conscious instead of lapsing into a half-aware state of unresponsive pseudo-catatonia) is "lawful stupid." I lash out at the world...

    What do you think about life?

    Said the castle made of sand: "I am an individual, and I am distinct and independent from the beach on which I live" Said the human to the sandcastle: "Good sir, that is absurd. You are merely a shape crafted out of the beach you live on, made from the beach's own sand. You are...

    What do y'all think about school?

    Yes, I can. I use it all the time to calculate things like "how much more massive would Mercury have to be to hold on to an atmosphere made out of krypton?" However, I only use math for fun and it has never had practical applications.

    Harem or No Harem Team?

    I have mixed feelings about harem genre. I really dislike when it all boils down to a script from "the bachelor," for example with "bluer than indigo." Other than that, a lot of harem type stories seem to have every character hit with a permanent -10% int debuff every time someone confesses to...

    Tell Me Your Weirdest Fetish

    I mostly prefer women but I also have a moe for the weathered old half-deranged farmer type, and tired scruffy men in general. White hair, durable overalls, kind of short but with sturdy muscles, and a twitchy eye and thousand yard stare that says "I seen some things..." Someone physically...

    Having depressing stinks

    Depression and social anxiety often come in pairs. It's not unusual for someone in a depressive episode to find themselves crippled by the worries they normally have the courage to face head-on. Also, depression and more generally mental illness have historically had an extremely severe stigma...

    Authors ruining their stories with terrible romance

    It's pitiful really. Some guys are just too hormone addled for proper executive cognition. Some girls are like that too, but there's more social pressure on ladies to not hump the sugar maple tree outside the principal's office window, so they sometimes learn how to deal with it quicker. I...

    Which gender is most likely to cheat on their lover?

    If it comes to cheating the both sides are close to equal, with cultural norms being the determining factor from region to region. But when it comes to any sort of breakup with or without cheating, there is minor (not enough to draw any conclusions yet) evidence supporting that men are more...

    Authors ruining their stories with terrible romance

    For people diagnosed it's about that, but a number of intersex conditions are outwardly conforming to a typical gender, and most of the rest also have adult appearances that can range into 'passing' for one sex or another, so intersex is actually rather underdiagnosed. It's not actually known...

    Here's a question for everyone

    I do live on the North American Continental Plate. Also there would be 51 states if you count that darned Puerto Rico that's cheating a discount on taxes by remaining a territory despite having greater population than at least 20 of the other states.

    Authors ruining their stories with terrible romance

    @Ilikewaterkusa Dang, what a depressing view on marriage. Marriage is about responsibility to kids? That inflexible view on gender too... Is he pretending intersex people don't exist? So much for 'it takes a village to raise a child.' This video seems more like an excuse not to help impoverished...
