How were you allowed to start an LNST thread after only being registered for three weeks? I thought one month's registration was the minimum.

I intend to RA, but will reconsider if you are really a female and post a cleavage pic

And 840+ posts in three weeks is not bad

As opposed to any baw consuming alcohol in excess knowing it kills brain cells and damages every other cell in the body it comes into contact with?

Or as opposed to every baw/bawette engaging in any physically/financially/emotionally risky behaviors?

Won't catch me telling anyone how to live their life though. Their life, their choice. And, in every endeavor there are winners and losers. For there to be a winner, a loser is thus necessary. Should probably be a good sport about it either way.

All my life gamers have been computer douche weirdos. Then I saw that gamer dumped Yanet Garcia. So I've been playing Mario Kart for 78 hours straight.

What's an emotionally risky behavior? Asking to be roasted by internet trolls?

or at least reading books


I play video games daily, I also have a library of nearly 3,000 books. I also work, am married, and have a son.

How large is your library? Do you have a job, wife, and child? How many hours do you spend watching TV or browsing the internet.

How much time do you spend start shitty threads on the OT?

Tons of examples of emotionally risky behaviors out there, on and off the net. Falling in love is a risky emotional behavior for an easy one. So it would stand to reason the opposite would be true also and actual Hate is risky (just look around at the Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers). For manic depressives out there knowingly exposing themselves to triggers would be emotionally risky behavior.

As far as asking to be roasted by internet trolls...where they be trolls any post is fair game.

Can I not play video games with my 10 year old son without you judging me?

Why do grown men post on college football message boards, conversing with other anonymous people about pointless shite all day?

The answer: because I'm grown and I can do whatever tf I want.

Fwiw, I haven't played any video games in a while. I've played occasionally with some friends about 3x over the past year. But I myself haven't bought a new game or system in 5 years. I very rarely play, my life is too busy at the moment. I would be lying if i said i didn't miss playing sometimes.

Faze is a big gamer who's worth millions and he just dumped that bombshell of a weather reporter to continue his career.

Sounds like playing video games can get you money and women. Sounds like real loser shite to me

In that case, what isn't an emotionally risky behavior?

Gaming is definitely one.

Where were you when the Russians were invading the American heartland during Call of Duty? I know where I was douche nugget, I was in front of my wide screen defending this bitch from Vladimir and his vodka cronies parajumping in my suburbian paradise. I went house to house clearing my online hood from them bold sumbitches and set up in Taco To Go and wiped out literally battalions with my sentry gun skills. Without me, we wouldn’t still have our beloved Burger Town. Keep your judgment to yourself fobbit, you don’t even know the shite I’ve been through.

I was almost asleep until I saw this thread.

Now I’m going to play PubG just to piss off the OP.

What's the consensus on those who play video games and lift weights? Seems like a two wrongs making a right kinda deal.
