It seems like everyone on HLP is getting a job recently, or getting interviews at least.

There is a correlation between people mentioning SCP work on their resume, and people getting jobs.

There must be changes, miss to feel strong

Heh, I do have my contributions to the SCP on my resume, it's true. And every interview I've been to so far has asked about it!
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

That's it! I have to tell my friend who is looking for work that she needs to join the SCP team. Even though she probably has no idea what FreeSpace or SCP are.  :p

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Also, I'm a little hamnyurger right now. But unlike certain individuals who shall remain nameless I can be punch-drunk while still creating coherent sentences. :P

I just drink large amounts of caffeine. I have no tolerance to it, so it still gives me a certain amount of physical pleasure and puts me in a good mood for the next few hours. This has the advantage of enhancing my mental abilities and reflexes instead of crippling them. :p

It's too bad that I can't do that every day. Caffeine dependence is bad and eliminates all its desirable effects.

I just discovered that "Glenn Greenwald's partner" is supposed to be read "Glenn Greenwald's husband". Wtf is this ****? Since when is "partner" acceptable shorthand for "same-sex partner"?  A journalist's partner is another journalist who works closely with him on journalist stuff, not his spouse! Is this common usage and I've just been living under a rock, or what?

(note, this has been a linguistics rant, and not a #ZOMGFREESNOWDEN rant... hence why it belongs in WHIYL and not its own thread)

It is fairly common usage.

I don't feel comfortable on the IRC anymore. Maybe Hard-Light Productions as a whole. I'm thinking about leaving, and I'm not sure anyone will miss me. I don't know what's wrong with me, so I can't change.

I all but stopped posting on the forums because people began to express frustration or concern over my posts. I guess the idea that I'm not wanted on the IRC never sank in.

You've been quite...normal, lately. Definitely improved from when you got your title.

i was banned from IRC again. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I know the bans are getting more frequent..

I'm sure herra, dsockwell, and zacam know. If I dont know what I'm doing wrong, I can't change.

then someone on the IRC said they've always been afraid I'm going to do something horrible someday, which reminded me of the time in high school when someone told me they've always been afraid that one day I'll snap and start killing people. And that made me more upset and now I'm sitting here worrying if there's something wrong with me. and I need to be sleeping because classes start tomorrow.

and now I'm worrying if I'm OCD.

EDIT: I know it had something to do with something I said about bottles, but I can't see where I'm in the wrong.

If it's something you'd rather not put on the boards you can send a mail.

I don't have much experience with you, but you seem nice to me.

I know how it feels to not understand why people have a problem with you on here.

Where did you hear that?

Also, you're a Greenwald fan? I've been reading his 'How Would a Patriot Act?' off and on for a while. One of my friends is a huge fan of his.

I don't have much experience with you either, but you've never struck any negative chords with me. I've upset a few people here as well, largely due to my "controversial" with my political views; if you  can't handle controversy, don't discuss politics. If someone is giving you a hard time, **** them, it's their problem. As you can tell by the responses to your post, most people here don't have any problems with you.

Mamba's posting behaviour has improved significantly since his debut on HLP.  Not sure what happened on IRC, but there is nothing in his recent posting behaviour that would suggest he should be leaving the community.
