Is Zack a girl?  I spy a girly eyebrow and a pink backpack.

Possibly, but not likely, kids nowadays wear pink regardless of gender....
I dunno, back when i were a lad..

<obvious good natured joke> who next, maybe they'll wear shoes on their heads and wear hats on their feet...'


Pink walls too by thae way :nervous:

edit-- looks like a sizeable dvd/game collection on the left hand side of the shot though, or books....do people still read paper based literature in this day and age? I know i do, but you get my point :) Also quick note, is Inquisitor getting firearms training from Doc Brown of Back to the Future fame?

1. I drew Turambar because I had a project for art class.

2. I am a girl.

3. They're all books. (Billions and billions of...)

4. I'm the girl Turambar somehow failed to get mononucleosis from in June. Lucky ****ing bastard, he is.

 (http://i34.tinypic.com/349ewsw.jpg)
5. The wall colour and bed are fairly recent additions to the room.

6. I'm only here (on the forum) because the picture of Turambar is here (in my room) and I wanted to add it to the collection of mild mockery of him here (in this thread). I am otherwise a useless lump of flesh who doesn't really do anything.

Actually, no, it fits with Homeworld perfectly.

Homeworld used animated sequences in between missions. They were serious-looking, believable, gritty, dark, and completely gorgeous.

You can find them on YouTube.

Render ship shots shots to jpg,  apply artistic filters in Photoshop, do the same to star-scapes/landscapes, create the sequence and output to animated gifs in Flash MX, import to ANIview32...

Easy yes?

I've done a little myself for an old mod based on HW1 and Cataclysms excellent beast "eyeball-infection" movie..
I'll dig em out and post em on TAP internal if i can find em.. :yes:

This thread is now about 1) Zack; and 2) figuring out what sort of custom title to give Turambar.

A thread about me = super special awesome.

Custom title for Turambar...

1. "alcoholic girlfriend beater"
2. "pedo-terrorist"
3. "senile"

I'm sensing some bad blood between those two.

Who two? Me and Turambar? Naw. I eventually gave him tonsillitis later in the summer, and he was miserable, so all is well.

but then again, zack, how good are you at drawing on the pc? to stop you from being a useless lump of flesh?

I am epic fail at drawing on the pc. I just use pen and ink, graphite, and pastels mostly.

She could do some character portraits if she was interested.

That would be fun. Mmm... I was thinking about doing portraits for my concentration for my AP portfolio, anyway. But see above.

I'm guessing there is a PM war ensuing between the accused and accusee right now over this cooties issue.

Post by: Turambar on December 08, 2008, 06:57:12 pm
the Iamzack thing comes from an inside joke with my RL friends

Basically, whenever my friends imitate somebody, they say "I'm [somebody]" and then continue with their imitation.

"I'm Zack" is a common one, which they do in the "Zack voice," usually followed by pointing out some obvious flaw, spewing a bunch of nonsense computer graphics terms (like, say, alpha blending), or acting very relaxed.

I actually am Zack.

Post by: iamzack on December 08, 2008, 09:16:26 pm
Yeah, come to think of it, this isn't exactly a self-help thread, either. It's more like "Help! I was having SO MUCH sex that I decided to come to you guys, a bunch of internet message board nerds, to complain about this sickness that I _might_ or _might not_ have, from having sex with this chick, who happens to be hot. Rather than talk about this illness - that I got from having sex - with a qualified medical professional or some other individual with expertise. Not that I regret it, because the chick I was having SO MUCH SEX with was so hot.

PS: She had a great body.

PPS: Did I mention that I got this illness (which I might or might not have) from having sex?"

 :rolleyes:

Excellent posting.

Maybe I would, but goddamnit, I'm at school at 6:20am every day, including Tuesdays, and on Tuesdays I don't have a real class until frakking 8:40am.

That's 5 right there, and if you count in the fact that you'd probably also play Guitar Hero and its sequels, the first Sims series, and probably a few other Tycoon or Sim<something> games, I don't think you can say you don't play video games :)

Although maybe that was the joke.

2. Sims2 implies Sims1. Srsly.

3. I don't really like the other tycoon and sims games.

Listen to Ayreon or Avantasia. No ear-raping vocals in those two.

Or most power metal. Not all metal is composed of idiots mutilating their voices...

Metal is just a blanket word that covers everything from ear-rapers to bloody operas.

In general, if it has double-bass drum rhytms, chances are its metal. :p

Read up on wikipedia about Metal, it might explain quite a few things.

Well there are silly fluffly little bands like Linkin Park - the so called "nu metal" bands, and more respectable bands like System that still fall into that "category"

Honestly though, I listen to a lot of Breaking Benjamin, Digital Summer, etc. which could, I suppose, be called metal. Really though, it's more of a post-grunge / rock kinda thing.

Welcome to the HLP. Keep all your fingers and toes inside the installation at all times! Exits are located near the "rear" of the station, however, due to the fact that the airlocks are broken... well let's just say we're not going anywhere . Flamethrowers are located beneath seats, but do to the economic meltdown, the imminent extinction of man, and pissed of Croats, ect. the napalm has been replaced with holy-water. Plasma rifles and shotguns are located in the weapons lockers, however, only the admins, an0n on a power trip, and the hyperintellegent shade of blue have keys. At no point should you combine the symbols F S and 3, as you will be drowned in holy-water. If you should meet a Shivan in the air ducts, give him your lunch and back away slowly, he's been scarce lately so don't worry too much. Strawmen may be constructed at any time in the general discussion forum.

:welcomepurple:
Welcome to Hard Light Productions! Here are the minor offenses, and their corresponding punishments! Never comined "F", "S", or "3" in a thread! This minor offense is usually combated by the use of our standardized Flame-throwers! But, due to budget problems and a few legal concerns (lawyers don't like clients charred to their bones), there is no longer napal in the flame thrower, but rather holy water! Another major offense is disturbing our little buddy (hey! That was my lunch!) called Carl, the resident Shivan who has taken a fancy to living in our walls! Throw him your lunch, and you should be fine... But if you happen to be caught in the wall with Carl, simply take the emergancy saw, and cut off a few limbs! Carl should stop persuit, but if he doesnt... you're on your own! If you wish to leave HLP, simply walk to the back of the ship, and operate the airlocks! The only problem with that choices is the airlocks no longer work! You may check-out any time you wish, but you many not leave HLP! If you should have any concerns, simply walk to the bridge and open up the weapons locker. Inside is your standard AK-47 and Plasma Rifle! However, most of us have a bit of a hard time getting in, as only moderators, the hyper-intelligent shade of blue, and have keys in! If you are a bit weary of staying on HLP, simply blow through the airlock and try to make your way over to the Game-Warden sister-station. Be careful, though! We are out of space suits, and I hear space doesn't have much oxygen... or much of anything! Good luck and enjoy your stay!

That was my (early?) welcome speech, riddled with poor grammar and spelling.

I wonder why people waste time with useless threads like this instead of working on FS projects.

Good question, why are you posting in this thread instead of working on your FS project?

Not trying at all. I was just thinking... hmm.. what did my old spam look like? Might as well post it--this thread isn't derailed enough.

In my opinion the only reason anyone posts those stupid welcome speeches is that they're trying to fit in with the way the community used to do it. Most of the people who post the speech these days don't even understand half the jokes in it since they weren't around when they were invented.

All the older members of the forum have realised that the speech was getting stupid and pointless so the irony is that by posting the speech you only prove how behind the times you are. It's like turning up in flared trousers and thinking you're the height of fashion. :p

I may not have been present for all the jokes (some of them at least), but I was around for the DS incidents, as a lurker. Anyways--there's always the argument that flared trousers is the height of fashion, but everyone is so unoriginal that they don't realize it. :p

Heh, I even posted a beam and didn't get one.  I see some custom titles, and think, god I'm glad I don't have one of those embarrassing reminders below my name, but then on occasion there are a few custom titles that actually represent the good someone has done, and I am slightly saddened, but driven to work harder in the hopes that maybe, someday, someone will notice and appreciate my work.

Cause since FotG isn't out yet the title would have to be something dirty/humorous involving the word Nightly.

I don't have any allergies. They gave me benadril to make to go to sleep.

I probably would have slept okay without it if they gave me more than a sheet and a thin blanket to keep me warm in my cold, cold, cold, COLD-ass room.

Do you have a regular sleep cycle? That's the folksy advice I always give to people feeling down (it worked wonders for me in getting out of a several-year-long depressive bout.)

How did you and your roommate both end up nuts? Seems quite a coincidence!

Uhmm... No. No regular sleep cycle. Supposedly that's because of my bipolar.

But bipolar's just in vogue right now. Troublesome teenaged girl? Bipolar. Have some pills.

I meant my roommate at the hospital. She only got there the day before me and then we sorta bonded in our mutual "I'M-COLD--THIS-PLACE-****ING-SUCKS--I-WANT-TO-DIE--LET-ME-THE-****-OUT-OF-HERE--" -ness.

This bonding was not in the least hindered by her physical appearance. Which was excellent.

I have no idea why she's nuts, honestly. None of the childhood trauma everybody else bragged about.

Yeah, pretty much. Group sessions a billion times a day. You have to ask to do ANYTHING (use a pencil, go to the bathroom, get water, etc). And it's cold. And you're stuck in one room. All. Day. And you see your doctor once a day and you don't get to know when ahead of time. And you have to get a doctor's order for anything from chapstick to tylenol to a ****ing band-aid. And you're not allowed to contact anyone outside of immediate family. And you're not allowed to write a letter to the opposite sex, even if you are just going to keep it until you leave. And they read *everything* you write. And you get searched any time you go to your dorm. And your dorm gets searched twice a day. And the food sucks and you aren't allowed to have extra of the not-sucky portions.

et cetera.

I talked my mum into buying a cheap camcorder at Wal-Mart on the way here, and we also got more SD cards and **** for the camera... So, eventually, there will be a pic of my "formal" attire. I am the most white trash girl on board, *****es!!

Buuuuttt... They charge for internet by the hour. I put 148 minutes on my mum's card already, though, so whatever....

I never got the "Pics Plz! :D" obsession with girls on forums, at least beyond the initial one to see if she's hot or not from idle curiosity.
I mean, let's look at this critically for a sec. You're asking for pictures of a girl who:

 - Lives in a different country (for most of us)
 - You'll probably never meet
 - Has a boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever

This is the internet. If you want pictures of women you'll never meet or sleep with, who have boyfriends and live in a different country, you can get them with zero effort. And they're naked! Bonus!

I found a big hermit crab today cause I went on shore on wherever we are. It was all "RAWRR" and I was all "Hold still so I can get a picture!!"

XD

This boat is pretty big, but I'm a little bored. :\ I found a mini-golf thinger yesterday. Only found two swimming pools so far... I know there's one more.

Meh.

Also, this computer says it is 4:25 AM. But it isn't. Meeehhhhh.

The obsession probably comes from the fact that girls on an internet forum are possibly the only women who haven't regarded them with a mixture of contempt and loathing when they tried talking to them. :p

A cool thing, but don't get too excited. Getting a license means doing part of the boring stuff your parents did until then, like going out to buy much-needed things and become some sort of taxi driver.   :hopping:

- University
Oh, come on...it sucks to be far away from my city!  :mad:

Which means you want to avoid being thrown back to a mental hospital until you're 18. It's difficult for a parent to be appointed your legal guardian after you're 18. And so long as you're not protected by the state before you're 18 (or go insane after), you're free.

You say that now, but there is a reason why a large percentage of homeless people in developed countries have a diagnosable mental illness.

I've been staying out of this thread and watching it, but here's something you should consider (not that you'll likely pay any attention to it, but it's worth a shot):  Bipolar disorder is a terrible form of mental illness because people who have it tend to think there is absolutely nothing wrong with them and actively avoid taking medication for their disorder.  The most common complaint is that they lose the "high" - they feel slow, sluggish, and foggy.  And the reason people around you may say you're intolerable when not on your medication is that they see the manic, compulsive, and driven behaviour (which is, as a rule, without thought of long-term consequences) and they care enough about you to fear for your future if you continue along the same course.

I know it's probably difficult, but consider that maybe the people around you DO have your best interests at heart and consider listening to them.

I have several friends who have been diagnosed as bipolar and ALL of them say that their lives and their emotional stability improved dramatically once they started taking their prescribed medications regularly.

As for the rest of you giving advice willy-nilly:  You're doing more harm than good, so unless you know her personally or are advocating that she rely on interpersonal relationships or medical advice, my advice to you is simply to be quiet because most of you are just giving "advice" that will make matters worse.  This is a scenario where if you don't actually know what you're talking about you should, to put it in extremely blunt terms, STFU.

And this is my last attempt to instill some common sense in iamzack's threads.

Post by: iamzack on December 29, 2008, 07:49:43 am
Yeeeah... there's a difference between bipolar disorder and "bipolar disorder." The latter is the one they diagnose difficult teenagers with in mental hospitals. I've seen nine mental health professionals in the last ten years (six in the last year) and all of the sudden I'm bipolar? I was diagnosed because the doctor asked if I have "some good days and some bad days" and I said yeah. The next day, the docs gave me 1000mg of depakote. Oh yeah, trust the doctors. I am on so much **** right now I can't feel anything anymore, but if I miss meds, I get withdrawal.

And, I know it's difficult to imagine a teenager having legitimate complaints about her parents, but you should try and consider that no, most people here don't have my best interests at heart. Mummy needs me to be nice and agreeable at least until I leave so that I don't make her feel guilty anymore for being such a rotten parent, and my docs want her money. The end.

It's probably a combination of both. Family problems exacerbate depression or mental illness, and then mental illness exacerbates family problems.

i think that that is a little on the non hinking side , yes the doctor has studied medicine but we are also talking about a system that the doctor works in , america has one of the highest percentages of young people medicated within the education system , why ? one because health care is not free or equal , and also it is so much cheaper for the state to do it this way in stead of using councelling , re-educating the parents on what is good(and safe alimentation) kids are pumped full of sugar and additives and then we complain when they are hyper.... so instead of changing what they eat we give them rivitril or some other **** to calm them down and with what amazing result , little zombies who grow up to be suicidal and even more unbalanced but hey at least they help keep the pharmacutical industry working ........

50% of the young ppl i worked with were classed as unstable or needing medication but after working with them and health workers a large majority of them ( through social education and health education ) were deemed as being normal and not needing medication , just a little tlc and respect and a lot of time.........;

Did you miss the 1000mg of depakote thing? Look it up, the maximum recommended dose is 750mg. And they started it with no build-up or anything. And then failed to recognize the "CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY" side effects listed all over the internets.

People, especially kids, are over-medicated around here, I'll grant you that. Then again, parents would much rather have a magic pill solve their problems than have the doctor tell them they're crappy parents.

Anyhow, I grow tired of the attitude that experts don't know anything, not just on HLP but everywhere. Yes, I realize that having a degree in something doesn't automatically make you God of that field. I realize that there are frauds, quacks, and phonies like our beloved Dr. Smart. However there are also plenty of people who have genuinely worked hard to get an education in medicine or science or IT or what-have-you, who actually know what they're talking about.

No, we shouldn't blindly trust experts, but thinking that they have no merit is what leads to people trying to cure cancer by waving amethyst around or pushing to have intelligent design taught in science class.

Unfortunately, even when experts know what they're doing, they still might not care to do what's right. Or not care enough to risk their paycheck.

Which is why you seek second and third opinions on that stuff, and do a little basic research, you know?

I mean, unless you're in a place where you *can't* get a second opinion or look anything up online, and your mother is too incompetent to do it for you.

One THOUSAND milligrams of Depakot?  While you're taking Zoloft (Sertraline)?  ****.  I'm surprised your brain hasn't turned into jell-o by now.

I was on 250mg of Depakot for seizures, and the doc had to take me off because it conflicted with Zoloft.  Depakot is NOT a drug that goes well with other psychoeffective medications.  Hell, it's dangerous enough when it's by itself.  If I were you, I'd ask for a different doctor.  Zoloft is a great medication to relieve anxiety and reduce depression, but it should NEVER be used with Depakot.  Even a person with schizoeffective disorder shouldn't have the kind of mix you have right now.  At the most, ANY person needs an anti-anxiety antidepressant, an antipsychotic, and a mood stabilizer.  And that's worst case scenario.

So much medication to go around it seems.  I know sometimes its unavoidable and I'm not surprised by the amount of TV ads the pharmaceuticals put out on the TV in the US but wow.

Anyone out there not on some sort of medication?  I have to take vitamins to solve a minor deficiency...but those are just vitamins.

I'm not on meds, which is strange, given how my mother works for a pharmaceutical company.

I know a lot of people who aren't on any medications, actually. It's just me that's messed up, I guess.

The zoloft was actually helpful. The vyvanse as well. Trazodone, depakote, and benadril ain't done nothing but **** me up. >.<

i stopped taking meds as soon as i turned 18 myself. see at that age i was an "adult" and had to buy the pills myself. since i wasnt employed till i was 20, that sorta didnt work. so instead i discovered the medical applications of booze and marijuana as a mood stabilizer. i think it worked.

See I'm of the opinion that sometimes the meds are there to compensate for something else that isn't right (diet, exercise, etc.) and once your on one set of meds then you need another to fix something else and its like a self perpetuating cycle.  Some people need something to keep them going one way or another...definitely not disputing that...but sometimes the solution, I think anyways (in my totally non educated in this field way), is in something thats simplier but requires personal commitment.

Exercise in any form solves all sorts of problems.  Most people don't get enough of it.  I don't either...but I am making a serious effort over the last several years to be active in whatever ways I find are entertaining.

Yeeeah... most forms of physical exercise... I just don't like them. I have played loads of sports. I'm not in shape, but I'm not all fat and stuff. ^^;

I liked karate a lot, though. I just don't have much time for it right now.

But diet and exercise can't solve everything. The Vyvanse is amazing for helping me not get distracted while trying to read a friggin sentence. And the Zoloft made my mood swings way, way less severe. (Which, if I were bipolar, the opposite would be true, soo........)

Reasons why kids in high school should not think they know more about medications than trained professionals.

Zoloft is used in the treatment of depression.  Bipolar disorder is literally the swing between manic episodes (highs) and depressive episodes (lows).  Different people have different variations - some get defined manic episodes with little in the way of depression, some get primarily depressive episodes with a moderate-to-low manic phase.  The most common treatment for bipolar is mood stabilizers, designed to even out the transition so neither phase manifests as strongly, but in some people you only need to treat the manic phase or the depressive phase.  Hence why an anti-depressant like Zoloft can be used to treat some cases of bipolar disorder.

As for the diet/exercise thing, Bipolar (like more than a few mental illnesses) is a biological condition with genetic roots (Bipolar actually has a really high genetic correlation for any mental illness; a few studies I looked at two years ago were finding correlations as high as 80+%).  An imbalance created by gene dosage is not going to be corrected by eating better/differently or working out harder.

That folksy bull**** that people like Tom Cruise spout off about mental illness is exactly that - bull****.  There is a considerable body of science behind the biological roots of some forms of mental illness (most notably schizophrenia and bipolar disorder).  If any of you are interested in reading said science and have the background to understand it, I'd suggest doing queries of related journal articles through PubMed.

Genetic factors play into it, but that's not nearly 100% why people develop either mental illness. Otherwise, most of the Amish community would be schizophrenic and/or bipolar (they have the genes for it, but don't develop it) and my brother wouldn't be schizophrenic.

Bipolar I requires at least one manic or mixed episode. Bipolar II requires at least one major depressive episode and one hypomanic episode. Cyclothemia requires hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes (not major depressive episodes).

Actual manic, hypomanic, and major depressive episodes (observance of the occurrence of which are how bipolar is diagnosed) have duration minimums of a few days to a few weeks, but they usually last months at a time.

Rapid cycling gets tacked on to any of the other three types if you get four episodes in a year.

Anti-depressants are almost never used alone in treating bipolar disorder because they are known not only to worsen the mood instability of people who are bipolar, but they are also known to cause manic and hypomanic episodes in people who *don't* have bipolar disorder.

While medication is necessary a lot of times in treating bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, it's not going to solve the whole problem. Medication is never 100% of the solution.

Final note: I actually look **** up before I say it, alright? Just because I'm 17 doesn't mean I get all my information from bad horror movies, tabloids, urban legends, and reality tv.

I know a few people with bi-polar and I definitely don't have the mindset that diet and exercise will solve everything...don't worry.

Her whole point is that bipolar is overdiagnosed, though. I don't think she buys the Tom Cruise bull****, but I think what she's saying is that a lot of moody teenagers are diagnosed as 'bipolar' when the real problems lie in hormones, sleep cycles, diet, exercise, and the social arena.

I didn't say it was 100% of the reason.  I have degrees in Molecular Genetics and another in Sociology/Psychology - please don't try to lecture me.  Bipolar and schizophrenia are conditions relying on multiple loci (which haven't been mapped yet, for that matter) and are dosage-mediated, meaning there is no single genetic on/off switch.  The genetic profiles for those illnesses are also quite diverse.  The Amish don't have a higher rate of schizophrenia and bipolar than the general population - however, as the genes responsible for those two illnesses (and their various manifestations of severity) have not been identified, we have no way of knowing if the Amish have the genes for them or not.  Typically, bipolar and schizophrenia are partially a result of family dynamic as well (low-conflict versus high-conflcit, in the case of schizophrenia) so genetic predisposition doesn't always manifest either.  There are very complex mechanics behind the biological foundations of bipolar and schizophrenia which experts do not understand.  You statements about the Amish and your brother are good examples of why a little bit of information can occasionally do more harm than good because you don't understand the bigger picture and you're relying on a very simplistic interpretation in lay terms.

True, but you aren't on just an anti-depressant.  There are also limited cases where anti-depressants are used alone in treating certain cases of bipolar due to the mood levels experienced by the patient.  As I am not a psychologist and I haven't met you I cannot comment on your case specifically, but I'm slightly more inclined to think the doctor probably has a better grasp of what medication is better than his/her 17-year-old patient who has demonstrated a fairly simplistic understanding even in a short conversation on the Internet.

Never said it was.  The most common and most effective companion treatment is the family dynamic, meaning the entire family relying on each other and learning to help each other.  Which of course brings us full circle, because you've already stated that you are unwilling to consider the fact that your Mom could be right about you taking your medication and have your best interests at heart.

Final note: I actually look **** up before I say it, alright? Just because I'm 17 doesn't mean I get all my information from bad horror movies, tabloids, urban legends, and reality tv.

Just because you can look things up doesn't mean you adequately understand them.  I have 7 years worth of education in this kind of stuff and I still don't grasp the full picture (nor does medical science as a whole actually), so I find it remarkable that you can look up basic information, most of which is probably FAQ-type presentations on advocacy or special interests websites, and think you "get it."

Look, like I said, I have an education that spans this field nicely, and I recognize that there are a lot of over-medicated kids out there whose problems are mainly uninterested family and over-eager doctors with a prescription pad.  But that said, the medical and psychiatric fields have come a long way in the diagnosis and treatment of severe mental illnesses and the quality of life for people with mental illness has never been better than it is today.  So, have the self-awareness to consider that you may be more than a little biased and perhaps you aren't seeing your situation quite as objectively as the family members and medical professionals whose role is ultimately to see that you have a better quality of life.

To me you seem like little more than a whiny, angsty, attention-needing dependent hormonal teenager - but I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist, nor do I know you personally.  So rather than take your word for it or your behaviour at face value, I'm considering the fact that I'm not hearing the entire story and perhaps you are receiving treatment for bipolar disorder for a legitimate reason.

EDIT:  And I apologize for breaking my vow of non-participation, but a response was pretty much required.

Blah blah blah you aren't 18 and therefore you can't possibly have real problems, and any accusations from you about the intentions of adults are all wrong because your doctors and parents only want the best for you.

That's the mark of a well-adjusted normal person.

You say "consider this point of view" and "in my opinion" but what you really mean is "cheer up emokid, your life can't be that bad."
