You said "I don't give a *** about your body image issues". Your post then went on to basically imply "get over it". Which is what you were rightly flamed for.

Don't try to imply that people on Dims are soooooo mean when you just got called out for being a dick. Which is what the thread title was even asking- "Am I a dick for thinking this?"

Finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. Onto something else, finally; most of that book was, for me, something of a drag, and the parts that were most interesting were few and too remote from each other in a sea of annoying, mind-numbingly dull monologues from Lord Henry laden with intentional hypocrisy. The wit and banter that I'd heard Wilde was famous for didn't show up until near the end, and I loved that and wish there was more of it.

Anyways... onto the next.

For the record, I have turned what was once self-pity into mild self-depreciating humor with some success (as far as I can tell). And a sense of humor is fairly attractive.

Moral of the story: Turn your disadvantages to your advantage as best you can. It might not always work out for the best, but it's a useful skill.

If the astrological community actually listened to the astronomical community there would be no astrological community.

If you have to tell someone how nice of a person you are, you aren't one.

Shouldn't drink too much at once, at least- drinking only water throughout the day instead of what you might usually drink is not going to kill you!

That post was from three months ago, and the thread has moved on considerably since then. Although I understand based on the recent thread in General that there might be some disconnect with what is and is not okay for people to discuss or whatever, and you want to highlight that, I can't say that I understand why you'd bring up the second post of a thread that's been going since October, especially since it doesn't seem to have killed the discussion in any way.

And there was much rejoicing.

Now I'll have something to do on Saturday nights if I'm not on WoW!

I like how people are acting like this is anything important.

I mean, feel free to flip out over something as bogus as astrology, but you deserve the derision you recieve for it.

I wanted to play Fatal Frame, but... I was always way too chicken. I just couldn't do it with just a camera.

Silent Hill is more or less okay, though. I mean, it freaks me right the frak out, but I can handle it, something that I think I wouldn't be able to do with Fatal Frame.
