Cant stand heavy metal. Its probably the only kind of music I truly dislike.

Im always like youre a grown ass man why are you screaming like that?

...yeah, you really can't know a lot of metal, if you think that's all it is. Scream, thrash, & death metal are their own subgenres. NOT all metal is like that. I listen to progressive, power & symphonic metal over anything else; you should take a look at bands like Epica, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Sonata Arctica, &/or Delain, if it's metal screams that put you off the genre.

As for my answer to the poll, unquestionably metal. Nu-, prog, symphonic, folk and gothic especially. I am a proud & happy metalhead. And the symphonic/gothic metal community is so welcoming, I love those gigs.

I don't mind rap, but it's not really my sort of thing - not in English, anyway. Japanese, Spanish and Hebrew, well, that's different. I find it hard to figure the line between rap and hip-hop sometimes though.

As for metal, revisiting that, at my very first metal gig, when I was 18, I got into the mosh pit, and wound up dislocating my left shoulder four times that night. I put it back myself against a pillar in the middle of the room, because I was having so much fun I didn't want to miss a moment by having to visit the first-aider. That was a Lacuna Coil gig.

They're still fantastic live, and I still go to every local gig they play - and some extras (last month's 20th anniversary circus-style one-off show in London being one of these - and that was SO much fun. We had a pre-gig meet of fans and nearly filled the nearest pub - only half a dozen people there were obviously not with us!). Anyway, symphonic metal is decidedly my favourite genre, but I do vary it a bit.



(Lacuna Coil - "Nothing Stands In Our Way")



(Within Temptation feat. XZibit - "And We Run")



(Sonata Arctica - "Tallulah" (live))

And a rap song I do like =P



(Hadag Nachash - "Bella Bellissima")

Once. Worked in an internet caf in a rural village when I was 18 or 19...

Two boys of about 14 kept verbally abusing & threatening me, incessantly, over the course of a week, so on the fourth day of this I finally told them firmly to knock it off or I'd tell the manager. They didn't, and I did, but he fired me for not being willing to put up with it (he wasn't much older than I was, and in retrospect I found out one of the boys was something like a nephew of his).

Given that I had (still have) PTSD & wasn't far from a nervous breakdown, I think I was better off getting out. That was something like 13-14 years ago.

The caf didn't last very long after that, in fact, partly because most of the adults who might have used it weren't happy with his allowing those teen relatives of his (yes, there were several, but my run-in was only with one) to run riot the way they did & mouth off at people and lie to him about it. He was so ignorant he always believed his family no matter what, so.

The other main part of its failure was that it was in a village, so most of the people who wanted internet access either already had it at home or were willing to go to the library in the nearest town (the town being where many of the residents worked, as there wasn't & still isn't a lot of available employment in a village of 5,000 people). The main reason I started going there was that I had to share the PC at home with my family, and I kept going because the espresso etc machine they had made lovely hot chocolate (I learned to use it, of course, which was when the guy hired me, as it'd been just him doing everything up to then.)

I don't miss it!

I was annoyed there was no option on the original poll for "not American, not a fan of the sport in question, really don't give a damn". Or simply just "I don't care". Voting on the PotD has become a daily routine for me, has been for years, and when one comes up that doesn't have an answer I can use I find it rather irritating. *sigh*

I still think we should skip gender pronouns altogether.
Everyone should be "this person " or "that individual " so we can skip all the zhir/ zhe/ xer/xhe made up words.
If you don't know which gender a topic creator is, just call the person TC, or use the person's username.

Not to be an ass here because I think this pronoun roulette is silly, but literally all words are made up words. Arbitrary sounds we make with our mouths that we mostly agree as to what they represent.

Heh. Yeah, this is kind of my perpetual argument when someone has a go at me for swearing IRL... "they're just words, and whatever meaning words may have are the meanings we chose to give them." It's not a bad one.

Susan, I don't think your idea is a bad one either, but you probably know as well as I do that too many people on GFAQs would end up simply defaulting to "he" because they either assume the forums are majority-male or don't care if they're not or if they wind up non-male posters by calling everybody "he" (and in some cases, would openly prefer the forums not to have members who aren't guys anyway, but those tend to be the worst of the lot here).

At least this thread gives me a few more people to put on ignore and give myself a more peaceful life, with less chronic annoyances. ;) I don't come here to educate, and it wouldn't help if I did - too many people who prefer to deliberately ignore even the concept of courtesy.

I'd like to hope my post didn't cause me to be ignored. Was a serious 'what if' question, not one to veil malicious posting.

No, it didn't. I have memory issues myself, so I understood that. I'm guessing you missed that I directly addressed it and your misgendering query - basically I suggested you do what I do: if you can't remember, go for the neutral pronoun. Preferably "they", which is less likely to get you dogpiled by some of the less balanced/decent/compassionate posters on these forums than if you chose to go with one of the less-used neutrals. But you won't misgender anybody that way, because for gendered people it tends to be more received & used as a user simply not choosing their gender, rather than saying they have none or a non-binary gender.

They're not universal, that's why there are so many variations. As for history, this article is pretty good on that: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34901704

The day I use ze/xe/hir/zir/etc will be a sad day indeed.

Again, this says more about you and them and your generalised disrespect for other people than anything else. So it would be a sad day that either of you developed common courtesy and respect for the identity of other people in the world? That is sadder than anything else about this, and more disgusting.

I personally don't like when someone creates a word and enforces for something rather than letting it evolve naturally and spread memetically.
"They" is a bit awkward to use the first 20 times or so, but it works just fine.

They pretty much have evolved and spread. I certainly didn't create them, and personally I'm perfectly fine with "they" being used as an existing neutral pronoun, but there are people who prefer some of the others. I don't attack them for it - it's like choosing your own name or nickname, everybody should have a right to be called what they like, and it's just normal respect to go along with it, I think, especially if they find being called something else upsetting.

There are even people out there who think totally the opposite of what you just said and don't seem to understand how "they" could be used as a singular pronoun, which I think is rather silly since people have been doing that casually for years... but, what the hey?

At least this thread gives me a few more people to put on ignore and give myself a more peaceful life, with less chronic annoyances. ;) I don't come here to educate, and it wouldn't help if I did - too many people who prefer to deliberately ignore even the concept of courtesy.

Under the new rules it should be moddable to maliciously call me a man, but it won't be.

What if it isn't maliciously? Then what's the policy?

Obviously context matters. When someone purposely misgenders another user, continually and in a caustic manner, it should be moderated.

If someone repeatedly followed me around deriding me for my gender, I'd mark it for harassment.

I hope that will actually be stuck to by the mods if this policy is to be upheld.

Personally, I can live with feminine or neutral pronouns, either work for me.

Also to the poster who said "what if I forget their gender?" etc - safest way out of that quandary is to do what I do, for the same reason (I have a very poor memory): use neutrals for everybody. I do it in real life, too. Unless & until I do know what pronouns someone prefers, I assume neutral by default.

For the record:

If you don't know what a neutral pronoun is, "they"/"them"/"their" can be neutrals in English, singular or plural, or there are "ze"/"xe"/"zie"/"sie" (in place of "he", "she", "he/she" or "s/he") and/or "hir"/"zir"/"xir" (in place of "his" or "her").

"Ze" etc. are all pronounced as the German "sie" pronoun, and "zir"/"xir" as the American "z" with an r sound added to the end. "Hir" is very like "her" but with an "ee" sound in the middle rather than the "uh".

Hope this will help! :)

With my mother? Sure, if she were still alive I might happily live with her, for a while at least, as she and I were nearly best friends throughout my teens and I miss her very much.

With my father? Not a cat in hell's chance of that. He was abusive in various ways when my sister and I did live with him, and I can barely tolerate visiting him in his own home for 3 days at a time, even with my really nice stepmother around. He's in the process of gradually drinking himself to death no matter what anybody who actually gives a damn about him says to him about it, but he always was selfish.

My stepmother's planning to move closer to me (with my younger brother) when she's able, so I might be up for living with her again for a few months, if she needed me to.

In general though, I tend to do better living by myself and having someplace I can retreat when I get overwhelmed or excessively wound up. Well, by myself without other humans at least. I like having cats around. (I miss my little tortoiseshell lady terribly still: she died of cancer in March and I am not at all adjusted to her absence yet.)

Agnostic. I will neither confirm nor deny the existence of a higher, lesser, or equal being.

This, reducing things to a black and white answer is a good way to mentally impair yourself and being yourself to the same line of thinking that extremists have.

Well, that's why I'm Unitarian =P

I was brought up Anglican to the age of eleven (my primary/elementary school had close ties with the village church), figured out by then I was at least agnostic, ran across Unitarian Universalism mentioned somewhere when I was 17, and realised the core beliefs of that faith were surprisingly close to mine.

I've been part of the British Unitarian community ever since - now I'm in my 30s I'm actually on the management committee of my congregation (elected - each congregation manages itself and its own building separately from the formal governing body, that only really steps in when anything big goes wrong), and I help out where I can. Got a choir concert tomorrow. But otherwise we don't really publicise ourselves - and, unlike a lot of religions, we do not go in for conversion. I can't abide people of faith who actually push for such a thing - how they could possibly believe someone who had been pressured into saying they believe something could truly be sure of that, well.

But to get back to the point, what I was trying to say is that all those grey areas are very important in Unitarianism. There's very little black-and-white about being Unitarian, and that's how I like it :)

Depends on how you want to define it. I think there is a possibility that a higher being exists, so some would say that is agnostic, but I also think that if there is such a being they don't deserve to be worshipped in the first place so religion doesn't matter anyway and some would say that makes me athiest.

Nah, I'd call that agnostic all the way. You're not sure if any deity exists, whether or not you would worship them; if you had proof they existed you still wouldn't worship them, but you wouldn't deny they existed, from what you've said. Atheism is a total lack of belief in the existence of any deity, whether or not they might be worth worship. And that you don't have.

About a couple dozen white hairs at this point.

Not bad for my age, by my family's standards, actually! I'm about to turn 32, but my mother was entirely grey by the time she was 28... On top of that, my maternal grandmother genuinely turned white-haired from shock after her mother had a nasty vehicular accident of some sort when Nana was only 19 - it didn't happen in a day, or overnight, as it so frequently can in fiction, but all her hair was white as snow by the time she turned 21.

By that standard, I think I'm doing pretty well. *g*

The only minor downside for me is that my hair is very dark, so they show up pretty clearly. I don't think I'm going to dye them or anything though, at least not yet - I prefer going white to going grey, whatever happens. Feels cleaner somehow. (And nope, not implying grey hair is dirty...)

Thoughts?
It's the only non-mmo FF that I haven't played or owned.

It's a good deal. I'd go for it.

Might take you a bit to get used to the linearity of XIII, but I warmed up to it a few hours in, which isn't bad for an FF game. Thoroughly enjoyed XIII-2, but then I love time travel tales. I confess I haven't yet played more than the demo of #3 - I wanted to 100% the other two first. (Chronic fatigue really gets in the way of my gaming, I swear. And everything else. It's such a nuisance.)

$28 for the three is definitely worth it, though, even if you end up disliking one or two of the three - it would be a decent deal even for one game given today's prices for unused games!

Edit: For the record? I'm like you - I've played all the non-MMO FF games, with the exception of XV. If it helps at all, my top 3 are XII, IX and V (in no particular order).

I do think - contrary to a lot of the outright whining on this thread - that you should buy them at that price. It's financially a really good deal, even if you end up hating LR as people here say you will.

Let's be perfectly frank here... I think it's nothing short of stupid to say someone will hate something just because the person saying that hated it. Your taste in the series might be totally different from theirs. However you end up feeling about them, at that price even I would buy the set - and I'm on welfare for goodness' sake. (Or the equivalent, & not for unemployment, I don't want to start that fight.)

At my last job I'd always go for the handicapped stall, but I knew that we didn't have any wheelchair-bound people working there.

It's been a while since I've shit in a public restroom, but I'd say I tend to go for the handicapped stalls there too. I guess I'm a scumbag. I don't necessarily care about the space, but it feels like you get more privacy. And the way I see it, stalls filling up is just something that happens sometimes and able-bodied people have to deal with it too. If I noticed somebody in a wheelchair at wherever I was, then I probably wouldn't use it

JSYK, the up-to-date term for us is "wheelchair users", not "wheelchair-bound" (that one annoys a lot of wheelie people). Unless actual ropes/chains/scarves are involved, then you get to mention bondage. ;) (Somebody actually did a photoshoot of that once...)

"Wheelchair-bound" is a term for non-disabled folks to use, tbh, because it looks at chair use from the perspective of someone generally capable of getting up and running around 24/7, who might have broken their leg and be stuck needing a chair for a few weeks, instead of looking at it from the mind of someone who is not using the chair temporarily.

For long-term chair users, our wheelchairs give us freedom we would otherwise be compelled to live without. They don't limit us, not in the way that phrase implies. If I didn't have my chair, I'd be unable to do much of anything for myself.

With it, I can have a comparatively normal life, and even made it to Helsinki for their first (and very accessible!) WorldCon back in August. Without it, I wouldn't be able to get from one end of my apartment building to the other! Do you see what I'm saying?

I'm not sure what the difference is. Are accessible stalls the larger ones? Because I do prefer those.

If you don't need them you should not be using them. Unoccupied or not. For all any of you know a disabled person might turn up and be desperately waiting outside the moment you shut the door.

Are they my first choice? Yes, because I'm a wheelchair user, and have IBS. I can't use the others - which is why people who can use the other stalls SHOULD use those.

I don't have a wheelchair, but do have IBS. If I used the accessible stall and you saw me coming out, would you be judging?

I doubt it. Most accessible stalls in my country have keys that only people with disabilities can get, whether or not they use mobility aids, so you'd have had to have some way of getting in there.

Besides which, I wasn't always a wheelie myself. Nor is my sister. I still say unimpaired people should go for regular stalls first. I've seen too damn many people use the larger stall to change clothes or take selfies in a giggling group x_x those are the people who wind me up the most.

When Digimon World for the ps1 came out, I think I played for close to 3 straight days minus sleeping and eating, this was during the summer and my dad came into the room and said "Go outside, you've playing that all day for the past couple days, go play." and I was like "alright", turned it off and went visiting lulz.

"Minus sleeping and eating" means that doesn't count unless you can somehow manage to sleep for only 10 minutes at a time and not all together.

My record (52 hours on FFIX as previously mentioned) was a summer holiday one too, but I didn't actually sleep during that marathon.

Yikes.

My 10 hours started in the morning after eating some cereal. I only stopped after the 10 hours because I finally got hungry. After food and a phonecall with a friend I played 3 more hours and then went to bed.

More reasonable. Actually more like me nowadays, except I take breaks to nap because now I struggle with chronic fatigue. I was 14 when I set that lifetime record; I couldn't do it now (at 31)!

Except that even people who drink alcohol find it gross, hence why they say it's an "acquired"" taste.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever known someone who just drank alcohol once and liked it solely for how good it tasted.

Eh, it depends on what the alcohol is. Polish blackcurrant liqueur is actually really nice. And cassis. I don't care much for anything else though. Not that it matters - morphine and alcohol don't mix =P

When Digimon World for the ps1 came out, I think I played for close to 3 straight days minus sleeping and eating, this was during the summer and my dad came into the room and said "Go outside, you've playing that all day for the past couple days, go play." and I was like "alright", turned it off and went visiting lulz.

"Minus sleeping and eating" means that doesn't count unless you can somehow manage to sleep for only 10 minutes at a time and not all together.

My record (52 hours on FFIX as previously mentioned) was a summer holiday one too, but I didn't actually sleep during that marathon.

It doesnt matter to me.

Plus, I think a girl in my age range (Im almost 30) being a virgin would be VERY difficult to find lol especially if shes attractive.

Depends on your country. A surprising number of "popular" pretty girls in the southern US seem to take "purity pledges" to stay virgins til marriage, if the documentaries I've seen on that phenomenon (don't ask me what I think about it, please) are at all accurate...

With todays poll, it got me thinking back.

2001- Final Fantasy 9 for at least 10 hours.

2015- Monster Hunter 4U for 8 hours.

You too, eh? Final Fantasy IX set my lifetime record for a single gaming session - 52 hours. Of course, I was much younger and healthier then!

Virgins can still have STDs.
They could have got it from their parents or from a bad blood transfusion.

I suppose that's true. I just would prefer to lose my virginity to another virgin. That's it, that's all I ask.

I want it to be special.

Ain't nothing special the first time. It's special once you know how you can make each other wonderful with your bodies. The first time doesn't mean shit other than to give yourself a mental enema about how much you place it on a pedestal and think it's special.

Got that right. Emotionally it might be if you really think you love each other, but physically it's just so awkward. You need to learn to laugh in bed or you're never going to get the best out of it.

I miss soda. Not that that's what it's called in my country, but I do miss it. I haven't been able to drink anything carbonated without seriously painful gut cramps ever since I had to have my gall bladder out. 5 years and counting :(

I didn't exactly drink the stuff that often to start with, but I do miss the occasional Coke, and I feel like such an inconvenient party guest nowadays - you'd be surprised how many get-togethers don't provide anything that isn't either fizzy, alcoholic or citrus juice. None of which I can drink. Sigh.

Heh. I was saying exactly what Foppe said, but you do you.
