well the first post is really dumb and then your post is really dumb but then all your posts is really dumb and HOLY SHIT TAILSSENA
-
Yeah, it's kinda dumb that what we're supposed to eat costs more than what could very well kill us.
this is dumb. if you put in a little bit of effort you can afford healthy food that will last a week that you can prepare yourself that will cost you less money than something something from the dollar menu at fattytown taco emporioum every day.

ahahaha this thread is dumb as fuck

well you're a fool

"That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ: and these things we write, that our joy may be made full. And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:1-9

If we're talking about pointless subjects, why the fuck do schools still teach Health class? You're going to take us out of a class where we exercise, to put us in a class to tell us that we need to exercise? Logic at it's finest my friends.
not sure what country you're in but us americans are really fucking fat and a health class is a good idea

that was a rhetorical question and you answered it anyway aaaaahhhhhh

we're a christian forum now. praise jesus our lord and savoir

wait is this tumblr now
tailssena why are you consistently the worst poster in the entire world

The limit of a fan is the ceiling badum-chh
thank you i'll be here all week

When's the last time you had a black guy?

I'm old as fuck and I still find my vernacular and syntax skills growing each year. I haven't read a proper book since high school so I'm not sure if it's because I enjoy language rules (side effect of programming perhaps?) or I retain information when I see/hear it.
Anyway, don't hate on language arts. I used to hate on them all the time, but have learned most of the math and science you learn in HS/college is also useless in The Real World™
can we all agree that cursive is bullshit cause cursive is straight up bullshit
-
when you get into college the english teachers there will straight up tell you that everything they taught you in high school was bullshit]
the point of high school english, and a lot of classes, isn't to teach you anything but how to take in information and how to test
also why did you put that behind a spoiler

mists of pandaria came out

Being only two years away from adulthood, I don't think the word "kid" quite describes me anymore.
Actually, only 1 year and 4 months away.
lol you think 18 is adulthood
-
Aren't you like 16? You are what you described in the last part of your post.
-
Complete opposite of the above post: i hate old people.
kids are awesome. old people are the worst

armchair programmers on the case here at sfghq

Me and SG could write a book on all the glitches and broken shit we found in Sonic Adventure
-
so i haven't been able to log in lately and i came in and see a cow my in animal pen (!?) and chest sitting in the middle of my kitchen with some red armor and white quantum armor and a recharge thingy what is happening

In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won.
Alexander Graham Bell - Evolution of the Telegraph into the Telephone
The telegraph and telephone are both wire-based electrical systems, and Alexander Graham Bell's success with the telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to improve the telegraph.
When Bell began experimenting with electrical signals, the telegraph had been an established means of communication for some 30 years. Although a highly successful system, the telegraph, with its dot-and-dash Morse code, was basically limited to receiving and sending one message at a time. Bell's extensive knowledge of the nature of sound and his understanding of music enabled him to conjecture the possibility of transmitting multiple messages over the same wire at the same time. Although the idea of a multiple telegraph had been in existence for some time, Bell offered his own musical or harmonic approach as a possible practical solution. His "harmonic telegraph" was based on the principle that several notes could be sent simultaneously along the same wire if the notes or signals differed in pitch.
Alexander Graham Bell - Talk with Electricity
By October 1874, Bell's research had progressed to the extent that he could inform his future father-in-law, Boston attorney Gardiner Greene Hubbard, about the possibility of a multiple telegraph. Hubbard, who resented the absolute control then exerted by the Western Union Telegraph Company, instantly saw the potential for breaking such a monopoly and gave Bell the financial backing he needed. Bell proceeded with his work on the multiple telegraph, but he did not tell Hubbard that he and Thomas Watson, a young electrician whose services he had enlisted, were also exploring an idea that had occurred to him that summer - that of developing a device that would transmit speech electrically.
While Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson worked on the harmonic telegraph at the insistent urging of Hubbard and other backers, Bell nonetheless met in March 1875 with Joseph Henry, the respected director of the Smithsonian Institution, who listened to Bell's ideas for a telephone and offered encouraging words. Spurred on by Henry's positive opinion, Bell and Watson continued their work. By June 1875 the goal of creating a device that would transmit speech electrically was about to be realized. They had proven that different tones would vary the strength of an electric current in a wire. To achieve success they therefore needed only to build a working transmitter with a membrane capable of varying electronic currents and a receiver that would reproduce these variations in audible frequencies.
First Sounds - Twang
On June 2, 1875, Alexander Graham Bell while experimenting with his technique called "harmonic telegraph" discovered he could hear sound over a wire. The sound was that of a twanging clock spring.
Bell's greatest success was achieved on March 10, 1876, marked not only the birth of the telephone but the death of the multiple telegraph as well. The communications potential contained in his demonstration of being able to "talk with electricity" far outweighed anything that simply increasing the capability of a dot-and-dash system could imply.
First Voice - Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.
Alexander Graham Bell's notebook entry of 10 March 1876 describes his successful experiment with the telephone. Speaking through the instrument to his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, in the next room, Bell utters these famous first words, "Mr. Watson -- come here -- I want to see you."
Alexander Graham Bell - Brief Biography
Born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell was the son and grandson of authorities in elocution and the correction of speech. Educated to pursue a career in the same specialty, his knowledge of the nature of sound led him not only to teach the deaf, but also to invent the telephone.

No, it needs the opposite of that
