  1. Yes.

     

    If you couldn't sleep without drug assistance, and one drug would allow you to have vivid lucid dreams that you could easily remember, but would not provide as much REM sleep, and would require you to sleep for 12 hours and never drive a car, would you use the lucid dreaming drug instead?

  3. Fortunately, despite the fact that I don't particularly find it attractive, I am unaffected by seeing that type of image. It would however be an interesting experience to be one though... (not permanently, but for a day or two, just to compare)

  4. If you have a microwave with a rotating or other moving heating surface (like all new ones do) you will never have this happen.

     

    No alcoholic drinks for me. I once managed to get drunk on Nyquil, no exaggeration.

    Don't even try to do a drinking contest with me then... I can do a full bottle of rum or scotch easily before I'm more than just slightly tipsy. I also have never gotten a hangover since the only time I could afford to get past "tipsy" was on my 21st, I got $300 worth of a variety of drinks over the course of about 2 hours, got mildly buzzed, and was dead sober within an hour. (had a cop do sobriety test on me at 75 minutes, and I blew a 0.00% BAC)

  5. I don't know if that person who stalks me is going to call the police or something right now because I see she has been salking me for a while and now writing things that pretty much made up by her great imagination, hopefully she's blocked now but who knows how many accounts does she has for spamming. Sorry but this person is a butthurt and acuses me for something like I was a fucking 5th grade kid.

    No shit but I got tired of her spam everywhere calling me names because I clearly dont want to have anything in common with her. And Why the hell should I? I have better things to do than caring about this empty headed lass. She thinks only beacuse I talked to her on steam I'm going to be her boyfriend and Im in love with her. Are we adults?

    You can always get a restraining order... She can go to jail if she doesn't leave you alone.

     

    I'm almost out of my thyroid medication.

    I hate medication. I hate having to get blood jabs every three months because my thyroid gland decided to take an early retirement and quit on me. I hate all of my stupid health issues.

    I hate your stupid health issues too.

     

    Also I have a big gash in my arm and have no idea how it got there.

    Maybe is happened because somebody shot a higgs-boson particle into something, and the chain reaction cause your arm to split? Or it could just be that you accidentally scraped your arm against something while your focus was elsewhere, and that's what caused it... I vote the particle caused it.

  6. *Civ 4 (i have and i like civ 5, but as i have understood, civ 4 resembles more of civ 3 gameplay, so i want it)

    I have played every version of Civilization since Civ 2... Civ 5 is the absolute worst. Civ 2 is the best for customization and total replayability, and 4 is best overall.

  7. If somebody REALLY wants the original WAVs, I can send them, though they were almost a GB then using maximum 7z compression.

    You could always put the WAVs into FLAC... Usually drops the size by half, and it's still lossless. Anybody who can't transcode from FLAC to WAV shouldn't be messing with the audio anyways, now should they... ;)

     

    I personally would love to get them in FLAC format.

     

    Also as a side note, a single Bitcoin is worth about $630 USD right now...
