RE: Universal Chat Thread - Mr EliteL - Jan 7th, 2023
Chad emote? Why, literally just a small sized image of the Chad guy's head, no need to be similar to the rest of our blue emotes as he's such a Chad he overrides that need.
Or ignore me and do something else as I'm not a Chad.
EDIT: Forgot there are different versions of a Chad guy, but I was referring to Giga Chad Ernest Khalimov.

Got any plans for the rest of the weekend @aerodynamik or anyone else?
I'm planning to take the Christmas tree down later tonight which should be quick since it never got decorated.
Then tomorrow I need to grab my art supplies for the Spring semester starting on Monday, although it doesn't seem like I'll need a lot this time around which is nice. Less money I have to spend on that stuff the better. Speaking of, I need to go sail the seas for my textbooks because screw paying for any of those anymore. 
RE: Universal Chat Thread - ShiraNoMai - Jan 8th, 2023
Also getting our fan finally put up in the sitting room tomorrow by my brother. Had the damn thing for near a year already
Would be one of the last few things that room needs before being done (others include a display for Spyro and to hang our posters/wall art).Successful week back on the diet grind. Already down nearly 3lbs. Gotta keep up the grind and hopefully meet my target goal before the summer

My thought is that if the way articles are done on AJ already works out well for you both in terms of engagement and creation, the blog would only be worth it if you know it'll improve those aspects of the articles you already do on there enough to make the effort and change worth bothering with. If you're happy with how it is now then it might be best to just leave it and not fix what isn't broken.

Yeah agreed. We've been having trouble with DDoS attacks this week. Bumping up security, so hopefully it's all over now.

Anyways, most firewalls are setup, so hopefully no more attacks.

RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Jan 9th, 2023
Fair enough. I suppose at least being an indirect target is somewhat better in that you know someone isn't out for you personally, even if it is still the same pain in the arse either way. Hopefully it either stops soon or whatever measures you put into place for AJ at least mitigate the effects on your side of things.

Best of luck to you, aero. Sounds rough
What is it with the news this year that has me so incredibly misanthropic? It's one thing to be ignorant, but it's another to be willfully ignorant to the point of no return. Like identifying a person's pronouns based on their fucking DNA. 6 PEOPLE BACKED THIS SHIT!

Why not just state male/female or something or if this issue as a whole is just going to cause problems one way or the other just use "they" and call it a day since it's a neutral term that doesn't assume anything or play into one side or the other.Best of luck to you, aero.

Also I don't remember what misanthropic means from memory...
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Jan 14th, 2023
Hating humanity. From the prefix "mis-", meaning wrong, and "anthropos" meaning human.
I haven't read the paper yet -- I'm just about to go into work -- but I'm willing to bet it'll have me throwing my phone in frustration just on that description of it alone. Joyous.

As for the paper, unless my phone was bugging out it's only a page that you could probably glean enough info from in a couple of minutes, especially since it seemed to mostly be filled with stating the same point but with slight variations by the look of it.
