Off Topic / Re: What nationalities are your family?

« on: February 13, 2012, 12:20:55 PM »

Mother is English with roots going back to the North. (Not Scotland, but Liverpool and the such).
Father is English with roots going back to the South, being Devonshire. Although he himself was raised in Oxford as was my Mum.


Concerning family names, if it's fair to follow them, then my mother's maidenname is Marchant, which is the French for Merchant and would lead to believe that somewhere along the lines going back 1000 years, it comes from France or Normandy.
My Father's surname is adpoted however, but it was German in descent.
His biological parent's surname is a typical English name, Hooper.

Skyrim
Minecraft
Anti-Sopa, although it's more just supporting it. It's hardly something I can claim fandom over, if that's even possible.

It was in a drama topic about family rp's, I think someone brought up how a user on his server asked if they could be the doge.

It's also an actual thing that I'm sure a number of people have seen done on FamilyRp servers.
Most people either want to be your child/baby or your dog/cat for some reason.

It's more annoying when you get it on non FamilyRp servers, like on city-buildRp servers, where someone comes along asks to be your child just so that they don't have to build their own house/building.

Off Topic / Re: Who wears Glasses?

« on: February 13, 2012, 12:10:39 PM »

I'm short-sighted but not too horendously.
I can't see things that are far away from me, for example, whiteboards in classrooms and I have difficulty seeing small text that is a few feet away from me.
But I've only had the problem for about 3-4 years now.
I got glasses first when I was on the border of being 13, but I only ever wore them when I needed them, so, in lessons and things. I wouldn't wear them during lunch-breaks or at home normally unless watching the TV.

Then at about 14 I started to wear them more often. Partly because my eyes had gotten a littlebit worse and I now had stronger glasses and my optician had told me I should wear my glasses all the time to reduce how much my eyes deteriorate.
So, I started to, and then noticed not long after that my eyes had actually gotten worse without glasses, but it had only gotten so rapidly bad while I had been wearing glasses constantly.
So, wearing the glasses all the time sort of led me to have to wear them all the time.

Also, I was really annoyed with how rough and annoying people can be at school aswell as inconsiderate and would throw my bag around while it had my glasses or glassescases in there.
When I got a new pair of glasses that were rimless on the bottom, I decided I couldn't keep them in my bag at all because they'll get chipped to pieces.
So, I've been wearing them all the time since.


Unfortunately though, I find I look much better without glasses.
I'm not ugly with them on, and they give me a good look, but without them I have a better look.

(Don't say I am fan or hater, I completly feel no rights to like or hate.)
The Brakedancing..... DAMNIT forgot the rest ._.

Equestrian refers to horses.
Equestrianism is the sport of riding horses.

Assuming the ice is thick enough (I hope so since you're skating on it) I wonder if it would be possible to gather snow nearby and make an igloo...

Off Topic / Re: Hosting a mincraft server through Hamachi

« on: February 11, 2012, 07:13:29 PM »

I have a local server running fine... I have port forwarded, my bro's computer can only connect to the LAN but I still can't get my friends to be able to join (yes I know they cant join my LAN) I am so lost this is disgusting is there any other way to host without hamachi? I really am trying to figure this out... I have youtubed this and same results so really its not my incompetence. I'm just looking for answers

If neither your brother nor your friends can connect are you sure that you have one, set up the Hamachi correctly and started a network (try making one without a password) and that they actually know how to use Hamachi and how to connect?

It does require it to work both ways.
Are they actually connected to your Hamachi at all?

The only other thing I know of other than Hamachi is to simply host a server via port-forwarding.
Perhaps you can get your friend to host the server instead?

East Suslove.
It's not completely red, just kinda rough.

It could just be a form of eczema or even a rash from an allergy.
If it's itchy use an anti-histamine cream but if you're concerned then visit your GP, a school nurse or even just a chemist.
You don't need to go with a parent to the GP either. Although, knowing Doctor's, you might wish to phone ahead and get an appointment (Although these can be set up to 2 weeks later) instead of turning up and having to wait hours.

Eczema is a winter thing.

It's not seasonal.

And even if it were, it's still February, which is Winter.

occasionally i have this rare occurance where half of my hand goes totally red. This as far as I know isn't influenced by anything as it happens monthly. i didnt think anything of it either until it actually caused a small cut.

Eczema perhaps?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eczema
Normally a good anti-histamine cream can be enough for mild cases.
And it's not unusual for it to cause cuts.
Just be careful to keep it clean or use anti-bacterial wipes around the area.

United Kingdom.

Been playing in the stinging nettles, have you?

Whereabouts?
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland?
Area?

At the very least though, definitely visit a doctor.
Atleast in the UK we have the NHS.

kazerad says there was a forgetup with the comment form data

if it isn't fixed by the time he's finished drawing the update he'lll just post it to the MSPA forums


kazerad is a guy right idk ;_;

Well, that's not very nice.
I wouldn't have known that unless you'd said so and never would've thought to check out the MSPA forums since I didn't find prequel from there.
But I suppose atleast it'll be posted somewhere and fixed eventually.
I'm sure if it's posted on the MSPA forums someone will link it to it on here.

If you have a rash that large you should probably get it seen to by a doctor.

And if it's itchy you should get some anti-histamine cream for it.
But if the skin goes dry or it starts to peel, don't peel it yourself. You don't want to go and open fresh skin up early.

Sort of. I don't know what rules we're going by currently, but last time I think the idea was to draw what would be the cover or cover-art for the game.

Off Topic / Re: ATHEISTS: What is "Responsibility"?

« on: February 11, 2012, 05:44:55 PM »

It's a bit vague.

By responsibility, do you mean why I make my choices?

Because if you were to say, "What are your responsibilities?" to me, I could say anything, like feeding my cats.
But that would be a responsibility to anyone who had faith too.

If you asked me why I had a responsibility to say, not hurt someone else, that would be different.
A person of faith might say "Because hurting a person is against the Bible/Quran/My Belief, and in doing so I disrespect God".
I would say as an atheist, my reason for that responsibility is that it's not right for me to hurt another person for a number of reasons. If they were hurt and it upset them, it would make it hard for me to be friendly with them. I wouldn't want a person to be hurt and that to upset myself.
And I wouldn't want to hurt a member of my own species, because that doesn't help my species in the long-run.

It's all a bit technical or unusual, but the question is a difficult one to answer because it's vague.
If you clarify, I could probably answer a better personal explanation.
