I personally don't like it because I can tell the screen is a different color than it should be and that bothers me. It's also something I have to turn off whenever I'm dealing with web design or photo editing or anything that depends on colors really.

You may want to look into SimSets, which are similiar to SimGroups (which is what things like ClientGroup are, with all their .add and .getcount and .getobject methods)

This was gonna be my suggestion. SimSets can have methods and variables on them just like SimObjects. SimSets are actually a type of SimObject. SimSets just also have the added bonus of holding member objects (SimSet::add(%obj1, %obj2, ...), SimSet::Remove(%obj1, %obj2, ...), SimSet::getCount(), SimSet::GetObject(%index)).

You know how there's those two dropdowns when you select a GUI item in the editor that say "Right" and "Bottom"? Change the one that says "Right" to "Left".

This is what I meant.

It doesn't matter if people know your first name. Unless it's really really unique (it's not) there's absolutely no way for anyone to know who you are from just a first name. Even just a last name isn't helpful.

I assume your fear is more logical: that colleges, future employers, w/e will find it, not that police will. Say they google your first name. Say they SOMEHOW find that reddit topic. Say they click on your username and find your post where you said you may sell weed. Do you think they're going to throw out your application because some guy who shared your first name might have sold drugs a couple of years ago?

Even if your fear was less logical, and you think that the police saw your post on Reddit about how you might sell weed. Why would they waste time, energy, and resources investigating a guy who might sell weed at a low level? If they saw some random guy type "Hey, <name>," how would they even know if that person had any idea what they were talking about? Even if they decided that that was indeed your name, what would help them narrow that search down to you specifically?

Modification Help / Re: How do you check for particular bricks planted by individual players?

« on: June 30, 2015, 03:25:16 AM »

Code: [Select]

new SimSet(YourBrickTracker);

package YourBrickTrackerPackage {
    function brick1x1x5Data::onPlant(%this) {
        YourBrickTracker.add(%this);
        parent::onPlant(%this);
    }

    function brick1x1x5Data::onLoadPlant(%this) {
        YourBrickTracker.add(%this);
        parent::onLoadPlant(%this);
    }
};
activatePackage(YourBrickTrackerPackage);

Then, for count:
YourBrickTracker.getCount()

For individual count:
%count = YourBrickTracker.getCount(); for(%i = 0; %i < %count; %i++) if(YourBrickTracker.getObject(%i).getGroup().BL_ID == XXXX) %brickCount++;

%brickCount will be the total for that user. If you only ever need to access them on a per-user basis, you may want to consider making SimSets for every player (if(!isObject("MySimSet_"@%this.owner.BL_ID)) new SimSet("MySimSet_"@%this.owner.BL_ID);) and add the bricks to their individual set ("MySimSet_"@%this.owner.BL_ID) instead.

6.3 inches i think, 5.6 circumference at its thickest point. though im not sure if its circumference or diameter to measure the girth but its around those numbers

i feel its pretty thin though, dont really know whats thick and what isnt but it looks super tiny to me

Circumference is pi*diameter. Girth is the same as circumference.

Set the reference point to top right instead of top left, then use the offset to move it to the left of the paint GUI.

adding to OP

Lmao. I'm not impressed, I'm just providing actual statistical data. I didn't even actually take a side, I supported why it would be rare that the entire first page is in the top 7% but then explained why it could happen. Also, frankly, everyone on this forum who I'd want to know how big my richard is already knows how big my richard is anyway.

Nice, you're gonna have a blast even though you're probably too young to gamble. I went to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas last year and stayed in the California Hotel. I did a lot of gambling between shows.

Was at EDC last year and this year, so I was just there a few weeks ago. Here, I think I may have a picture on my phone that'll help you out, OP.

Found it.

Trinick was scared of the turtle

Actually, I'm kind of pissed. Its shell was molting and I wanted to peel off the bits because it looked like it'd be really satisfying, like peeling off super great post-its. But my girlfriend wouldn't let me, so I didn't. Then Nick sat the forget down and peeled them all off.

Average size is 5.1 inches. Apparently this study was measured through actual physical examinations, not reported numbers.

It is unclear to me whether or not they included the fat pad. If they didn't, this study would likely fall in line with mine.

I like how some random chick points out that 5.5 inches is average and suddenly everybody is 5-6 inches and immediately everybody above that is a liar. Don't let them fool you, they're trying to use reverse psychology to steal your richard pics

Alright, finally I'm not busy so I can address your claims.



This data set is constructed from three research studies. The first, Wessels & McAninch, studied 80 men. Their sample size is small though. The second, Schneider T et al, studied 143 men of various adult ages. The final study, J Chen et al. measured another 55 patients. The average of these all is called the "hungfun" average, which rests at an average erect length of 5.75 inches.

Based on this data set of almost 300 people's richards measured by doctors (aka no over-reporting for self measurement) the 7 inch mark should be the 93rd percentile. So seven in a hundred people have richards that are seven inches or larger. I don't have statistics on the active use of the forums but I would estimate there are about 1000 daily active users. Which would mean there are 70 people per day that visit this forum who have a 7 inch or larger snake, out of the remaining 993. So it seems unlikely that the first page would be filled with people who are in this 7%.

However, there is a way this can happen. It's a statistical issue called sampling bias. This right here, assuming everyone is telling the truth, is why we can't have nice things or quality statistics. Studies that are conducted via voluntary admission are almost always bunk, because only people who want to answer the question will answer. What this means here is that only people who walked in to the thread with big richards wanted to reply, because they wanted to assert their big richards over everyone else. People with smaller richards didn't want to reply because they wanted to avoid being shamed for their smaller richards. This then flipped in the exact opposite direction once people started copping flak for 'lying,' it appeared more socially acceptable to have a smaller richard so people (mind you, who are still above average) were comfortable posting their richard sizes, and people with (ostensibly) larger richards started saying stuff like "I'd say, but you guys wouldn't believe me."

So, do I think it's impossible that the first page filled with the 70 people who do in fact have that large of a richard? No, I think when you consider sampling bias it's a total real possibility. However, there is certainly a real phenomenon out there that definitely makes our data bunk. People overmeasure their own richards. But even when you do include self-measure, as in the Herbenick et al. study, you still come out with an average 5.6 inches. This study segregates results by race, so let's just check on white people. 5.58 inches, we'll generously round that to 5.6. Damn, so average.

Ive been gone all week and just heard about this, I have no words left to say, the majority have lost and the extremely small minority has won

congratulations everybody for making me feel like stuff time and time again for thinking that two men having love is disgusting

assimilate or be killed

Well then, you're in luck. The laws regarding the legality of gay men having love have not changed! The only difference is that now, in the eyes of the law, a gay couple can receive the same benefits as a married heteroloveual couple.
