    You really are half devil, aren't you? :D

    I think he had a vintage plane, or was a volunteer pilot for reenactments or something. Something dashing like that. It was quite a while ago.

    The following is unedited and uncorrected speech to text. I wasn't sure where this would be more appropriate so I didn't hear, so I could b**** about text-to-speech and accuracy.

    I wish to tell you a story, this story Isabella man who relied on speech to text to convey what you want to say because it took too long to type it with the tiny ass Android keyboard and his fat fingers. As you can see, through the thick of it all as I talk and as the Android does its best to translate what I'm saying it's actually doing a good job at this moment killing my fun because it knows because it knows I'm trying to show it's an actress e.

    The red fox leaped over the lazy dog, f***, s***, a******,.!? Are parentheses are parentheses quote The Raven quote. It seems like a good place to express a perfect first world problem in regards to laziness where in the world ripe with famine, pestilence, death, war here I said bitching about text to speech, speech to text that was my fault. I'm just too lazy to fix it! Because I'm tired.

    Text to speech, speech-to-text I mean, is a lot like a rough draft, and something you use as a base but don't f****** publish tell you do some revision except for this moment when text to speech, speech to text wishes to work pretty well of course as I try to have a little fun with it.

    I'm not sure if this counts as a whinge or personal growth.
    I just purged my 'friends' on FL, and then this fucking wanna
    be popular kid wants to be friends so he can add to his friends
    list and feel cool about his special self.
    So I sent him a pm politely expressing my thoughts about what
    he is doing. So he called me a condescending asshole and made
    fun of my height for some reason...o_O
    I am just done with people adding people for fucking no reason other
    than to puff up popularity. I don't support ebegging little twats anyway...
    Not going to respond to him, but I am flattered he bothered to call me
    an asshole and poke fun at my height. :p
    Sure looking mature there Mr.21 and 'special'. :dry:

    Not sure about this thread, but I enjoyed reading it. LOL. I only have relatives and some actual friends on my fb friends list. If I don't know you I don't add you. I had a relative once make fun of me for my short friends list so I made it shorter by 1, LOL. It makes life so much easier!

    I am the same with FL and FB. But on FL I like to friend people I have
    followed for years prior to FL being thing.

    The whole patreon e-begging bullshit instead of, supporting your little
    fun hobbies on your own dime really pisses me off.
    If you ain't going to go pro, don't expect me to fund your little misadventures
    or really think much of you as being in it seriously.
    (All the good ones I like are retired). :(

    Yeah patreon is one of those odd ducks for me, I'm always surprised by the idiots who who give their hard-earned money two others. That's f****** gas for me, food or the occasional video game!

    I know right. I think the other one that grinds me like 12 grit sandpaper
    are the people that post their wishlist and ask: "Can you help us out?
    we just can't afford to do this right now."
    Or the ones that just kinda assume by posting their wishlist, you will
    just run to amazon and buy them something because reasons.

    Hello you're in college, and you can get your own shit if you are frugal
    about it.
    Or, I don't gift strangers things just because.

    And if I wanted to be financially dominated, I think I can find some one (they're a penny a dozen).:dead:

    Yup. Now, I've got a friend who's a visual artist (e-painter, basically), and she posted up that there was a certain computer game she was after, and she'd trade a custom painting for it. I've seen her portfolio, and (cue the storm, it's my vanity project at this point, dammit) she's going to do a cover for my as-yet unwritten book. It's a price I'm willing to pay for someone I know is willing to work with me on the ideas, and strangely enough, I feel better about it since I know she's not going to go and blow the money on rent or groceries or anything stupid like that.

    What's wrong with barter?
    I think it is perfectly reasonable, as long as you both agree
    on the exchange.

    Nothing at all, it's just the way it originated, something along the lines of "Hey everybody, I really want this new game that's come out, but I'm a bit short of funds right now. If anyone's interested, we could maybe trade a custom piece of art?" Sounds a bit like the folks who just beg, but she was tossing an offer out into the ether. I don't think I would have thought about contracting her had she not done so though, so it's a not a bad strategy.

    Get rid of your television service. The internet has the same capabilities and is cheaper.
    Also you can control the content you want to view and on your own time. :)

    This has got to be the world's most awful whinge, but the royal baby. Seriously, Kate? Seriously? There were all sorts of suggestions of lovely girls' names floating about - Alice, Mary, Elizabeth, and even Victoria - and a lot of people were betting on it being a girl. Personally, I think "George, Charlotte, and Alice" sounds really nice. Say it to yourself a few times and you'll see what I mean. Victoria would sound lovely too. And Kate's only gone and had a boy.

    I feel robbed.

    I don't think they have a name yet, but some girls in my History class were talking about "Arthur". It's probably going to be one of the royal "stock names" if you will.

    But seriously, look how pretty Charlotte looks in those little frocks and smart shoes! Think how gorgeous TWO little girls would look!

    A baby gets fame simply because of his DNA. Is this not inherently racist?
