[hanar05]

but he's so beautifullll and actually generally sounds/acts different per role? poor nolan north was just asked to do the same voice over and over

 

This is so true! I've always been a fan of Troy's voice work even before he started playing leads. I'm glad Nolan got a good chance to show off his range in Portal 2 and Last of Us! Didn't even recognise him!

[Pups_of_war_76]

whoah hey dude talk more about that 

[iqueefkief]

i pulled an all nighter writing a paper for an ancient greek philosophy course last semester and this semester the professor was raving about it and made me submit it to the annual undergraduate conference in oregon so i did and

 

welp

 

it was fun i had to fly there and go speak about it at pacific university with 99 other undergraduate students.  they were all pretty impressive kids.  angela davis is speaking there on the 18th and i'm really sad i don't get to be there.  it's just being published in an academic journal, but it still feels cool.  if i'd known i even stood a chance at something like that i would have written about something i cared about.

[Pups_of_war_76]

what was paper about tho

[iqueefkief]

i had to do something involving ancient greek philosophy but i wasn't really into it so i picked out something i could turn into sociology and went from there.  critias talked a lot of **** about religion and how it's not organically occurring but rather something some horrible and clever individual came up with in order to keep others in line with the law because naturally we are evil and wrong of course, so i just pulled some stuff from durkheim's theory of morality and went with it.  it's not that interesting, at least not to me.  

[iqueefkief]

i actually felt kind of like a bum being there, because everyone else was super pumped and passionate about their research and their paper topics and i was just like yeah hey i wrote this in a night

 

probably beat out some nerds who were like really into it

 

and i'm over here

 

i'm an atheist and i am going to talk to you about why i am super enthused for religion

[iqueefkief]

never too late to pick some others up tho

[IccaRa]

a sham wow

A sexy sham wow.

That's fantastic that you had that experience! If anything, it proved it's more than possible for you to be on that level with other professionals, and it's never a bad thing to have more cred.

do you ever read eastern philosophy from that era? 

 

there are a lot of ancient chinese texts that are just literarily beautiful irrespective of philosophical import

the class i took had some really awesome ones that i unfortunately have forgotten a lot about due to being heavily medicated at the time, but i remember appreciating them a lot more than western philosophy, even most of the modern stuff i've read.

 

i should get back into it, but there are a lot of things i can't get myself to do at the moment.  one thing at a time.

[iqueefkief]

got a psych eval to see if i have adult adhd last week and i find out what's going on friday.  that's exciting.  my physician, therapist, and psychiatrist all think that i have it.  it would make a lot of sense.  my childhood was a lot of fun, guys.

 

in 3rd grade, my teacher was married to the guidance counselor so she was super good about spotting kids who were struggling and getting them some kind of help (whether it was good help...eh) and i was one of those kids.  i didn't come to class very often first of all, i had trouble paying attention and listening, and i was terrible at following directions.  i got in a lot of trouble because this was back when they were first implementing standardized testing and they were teaching us how to use the bubble sheets and were stressing how important it was to only fill in the bubbles and to not make marks anywhere else, so i thought, what, that's silly, i do what i want, and when i had my first bubble sheet test i traced lines connecting the bubbles to each other very, very lightly, just to see if they'd be able to detect it because i wanted to fight the power and prove some bitches wrong, and the next day i had to talk to the guidance counselor about being a bad kid and i was like wow mistake 

 

to "fix" me, they started using this emoticon system where they'd draw faces on my hand to say whether i'd been good or bad that day; good day got the sMILEY, ok day gets a squiggly dude mostly like this :|, and bad day is (((.  i had to report back to my parents with my hand stamp and my dad was like, say, if you get all smileys this month, i will take you to mcdonalds to play in the play place.  so, naturally, i just started washing teacher's frowny faces off and putting 
**** u

 

anyway yeah lots of problems in school i literally thought i was mentally incapacitated until high school when people started calling me smart i was just like wait a minute what because i don't learn stuff the way you do this **** is hard i just know words and things leave me alone

 

we should exchange fun school stories or something did you guys ever try to **** the power when you were little and then actually suck at it

[ohmygodsy]

in saudi arabia, moms tended to hang out in this waiting room while their kids went to preschool. it was hard for women to get around with their husbands, so typically they'd be dropped off and picked up with the kids. it was kinda neat. we got to see them during lunch and everyone would have special home cooked meals prepared and what have you.

 

once, this kid bullied me into asking one of the moms for money to buy mechanical pencils at the school store. mechanical pencils were the **** in 1995, and everyone super needed one. i was targeted because i was a good kid but also cause i was gullible as ****. i think she was class president or whatever and threatened to have my name written on the class' naughty list if i didn't comply :| so i did. she got her mechanical pencil, i got into the worst **** ever cause word got around that i conned one of the moms, there were a lot of tears and i made a promise to never be taken advantage of again

 

so i became the class bully next year and punched some kid in the face lmao. i was so little and innocent that nobody could pin it on me.

 

not rly a fight the powa story but u kno, since we're sharing.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but nowadays I figure it was an anxiety misdiagnosis. I was prescribed ritalin but all that did was cause uncontrollable mood swings and mental chaos. So I started refusing to take them. It put me off taking most medications for a long time until I had my breakdown last year. Now I'm on 2mg of clonazepam for anxiety.

But on to stories of rebellion.
It must have been my first year of high school when I had a maths teacher who had alternative theories as to how to give her students the best opportunity to get good grades. She made the classroom a relaxing environment by allowing us to doodle and listen to our own music. It worked for me, I got brilliant results that year.

Unfortunately, she was off sick one day so a substitute came in. The class carried on as we normally would so my friend and I started doodling and writing notes to each other. The substitute, obviously unaware of our teacher's methods, took our notes and doodles from us, looked over them, and was furious. We tried to explain that our teacher allowed it but she was having none of it (I can faintly recall some of our notes being somewhat rude, so that may have had something to do with it.)

She informed us that she would confiscate them and send them straight to another teacher to punish us appropriately (since she was only a substitute and couldn't do so herself.)

Well that just didn't sit right with us.

Later that evening, when the school was closed, my friend and I snuck into the administration building when no one was around and made for the room where we knew the teachers' "mailboxes" were stored. After a bit of searching, we found the incriminating material along with a note attached to it from the substitute teacher explaining the situation. We stole it, snuck back out of school, and never heard anything about the incident ever again.

man you guys' youthful outbursts were so pointed and efficient

[iqueefkief]

so, i got diagnosed with severe adult adhd!  i'm so glad i finally have ANSWERS.

[hanar05]

Answers can be such a relief! It took them nearly a year to diagnose my illness and there were questions raised as to whether I was legitmately ill. I pretty much constantly questioned my sanity.
