    It would be kinda depressing to see lots of former tryhards walking with their heads down low because they failed all those tests they eagerly signed up for.


    Then again, I think it's an almost equally depressing thought that the national average on these tests is a 3, which indicates answering roughly a third of the exam correctly.


    And I feel weird knowing that that 5 I got on the Lang and Comp exam last year might only mean I hit 2 for 3.

    I only took one AP test. Even though I've taken... six? AP classes in high school. It was Biology, sophomore year, and I got a 5.

    My newspaper just told me only 20% of Polish fifteen-year-olds engage regularly in sexual activity. Heh heh, only. We're like the most wholesome of Europe, with only the every fifth of our kids fucking like rabbits. Heh heh, I guess, it means we're behind-the-times, retarded, not cool backwater or something... Okay, it wasn't really written "regularly" in that article, whatever. Mweh heh heh *SNORT*, yeah, heh heh, I guess I'm a prude. You may throw stones now.

    I remember being ticked off that my school didn't take it upon itself to better inform my class that it could take Honors Bio as freshmen, but now that I think about it, I hated Bio, so it might be for the best. Then again, I was a relatively hard-working student at that point, so I might have done better in that class, and others to follow.


    I take it you couldn't take the rest due to health issues? Or was it just optional for your school, and you decided not to take some of them? My school makes us take the exams for our AP classes, as well as pay out of our own pockets.

    Reading about things like the Hundred Years' War, I can't help but wonder why people think that choosing leaders by inheritance is a good idea

    Yeah, health reasons. My headaches hit in February of my Junior year, so I had to drop down to lower levels of the four AP classes I was in so that I would have less work to make up.



    And then in my senior year, I started AP physics, but then I realized what a stupid fucking idea that was and dropped out.

    That was, indeed, a good idea. The test was stupidly hard this year. Or at least, the free response section was.

    Seeing things like Bush administration and the current fiasco with congress I can't help but wonder why people think that choosing leaders by popularity contest is a good idea.

    Fucking jungle is a jungle where fucking is done, or the jungle that fucks? Because the latter may be less than pleasant.

    @ninjaclown:

    Are there any series you guys know that are able to handle multiple characters and or multiple plotlines successfully?
    What exactly do you mean by this? Just things that switch perspectives a bunch or what?


    Also, I think I'm going to stay Iron Man for a while even though everyone else is switching.

    I feel as though I should have something to say about these two statements, but I'm just drawing blanks.

    He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.

    I'd say there is not way to choose leaders that leaves the best possible ruler be unless that same ruler wants to be a ruler, which would be disqualifying that same person anyway.

    Glenn, please don't do this. Thinking like this--defining modhood as being apart from and opposed to users as a whole--is a really quick way to ruin a site for everyone, especially yourself.


    You're right, that was a bad move on my part.


    For what it's worth, I wasn't meaning to define modhood as being apart from the userbase.  I was actually thinking about the underlying conflict between those of us who want to discuss TVT issues as opposed to those of us who have really strong feelings about them and those of us who would rather not hear any more of them.


    I was actually thinking of awkwardly editing an apology into that, before you even commented, but then the conversation had moved on so I thought maybe it was best to let sleeping dogs lie, but I guess it wasn't asleep yet.


    Well, the dog has now been edited out.


    ...cripes, now this post sounds vaguely suggestive of animal abuse.  My messaging skills are crap today.

    I'm a damn twisted person

    Nah, Durarara doesn't because it is too many plotlines and it tries to actually make us care about characters. Baccano gets by because the cast are a series of entertaining cardboard cutouts who have just enough depth to be fun. Focusing on them any longer or trying to make us care about them more than their immediate situations would have made Baccano a trainwreck.
