Greetings to you, fellow California native.
Now I'm not trying to offend, seeing as we're countrymen, but do you suck dicks?
If your name is Dylan you're likely a man, and Volug is... Well.

Welcome to the forest, Nomadic Trooper Man!
Your goal of getting your name out there isn't such an ambitious one when you just tell it to everyone in your first post, Ronald. It's time to think of a better goal--maybe try get the highest number of "friends" listed on your profile, or to have the most posts of anyone, or become the root admin.
Either way, perhaps I'll be seeing you around here.

No, maybe AP World History. He's referring to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
No, it's one of those stories every good Christian should have heard at his mother's breast, cowering in the cold cellar during the long winter nights as infidel Turkish robbers and burners rampaged above, all with the blessing of the Sultan.

557 years ago to this day, the greatest city west of China was lost to the heathen. As Constantine dropped his purple cloak and gave his life fighting the unbeliever one last time, for the empire, for Christendom, for God, the oldest state of the west was no more.
Mourn the mistakes and misfortunes of those times, but remember and be inspired by the great deeds and bountiful providence that came before them.

Defense.
If I ever do end up going to law school and finishing it, I want to spend some time afterwards as some kind of defender. You have to be a complete asshole to be a prosecutor and be happy with yourself, and way too many people already have their lives ruined or get sent to prison for bullshit charges every day.
Or of course I could aim to become a politician and work to change the law to something more agreeable myself, maybe even stage a coup if things are going too slowly...

But I wanna be somebody!
Then study something like comparative theology and spend your family fortune on a political campaign. Depending on how large your fortune is and how skilled the campaign advisors you'll hire are, you might have a good chance at becoming a Canadian MP. From there it's only two short steps to Prime Minister, and once you're the biggest man in Ottawa you can set about really changing the world.
As a Canadian statesman I propose that you should pursue closer ties and cooperation with traditionally friendly Pacific countries, that's a region with a lot of growth and a confused balance of power. But continue existing domestic policies as far as they're sustainable (after a round of legalization of course) and tighten the fucking borders that all those unproductive immigrants are pouring through. And don't forget an aggressive Arctic policy, you might come to regret it some day if you let Norway and Russia trample over you with their claims.

I'm from Mexico. Greetings to the person who was asking if there were other latin users

Wear shoes or close-toed sandals whenever you're outside the home. Unless you've spent half your life walking barefoot in the city your feet aren't conditioned properly to be exposed all the time outdoors, this isn't 1846 anymore and there's all kinds of stuff laying on the ground in every city that can really fuck up a careless foot.

Forget about this SAT and college bullshit. A university degree is marginally helpful in finding jobs, but age and experience value for a lot more. And none of that matters if you can get nepotism ("networking") to work for you.
So unless you want to be a ticky tacky doctor or lawyer or business executive, or want to pursue a field like geology or engineering, don't waste the most important years of your life and a hell of a lot of money on some educational institution where you'll be put in a box and taught how to be a social parasite.

Hey Jyo, why were you posting a topic in FFTF instead of getting completely wasted for about a week? What a nerd.

This is my potato farm.
There are many like it, but this one is mine. My potato farm is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My potato farm, without me, is useless. Without my potato farm, I am useless.
I must cultivate my potato farm true. I must cultivate more efficiently than my competitor who is trying to drive me out of the market. I must force him to sell the farm before he forces me to sell mine. I will.

The whistles go WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

States I've visited are colored in, the dotted red line is where the international boundary will be in the near future if everything goes as planned.
Note that I consider visiting an airport the same as visiting the place where the airport is located.

You probably did. Although this one was... different to the ones I had felt before. It was weird and scary.
I was deshydratated at the time, too. Might have something to do with it...?
Almost certainly. Also if you smoke that makes stuff like this a lot more likely.
Just remember that stuff like this is mostly harmless and you shouldn't panic so much next time. I remember I was really scared the first time I cracked my neck.

And here's a late welcome to the forest, comrade. You seem like a Korean, so I'll call you 'comrade' in case you're from the DPRK.
I also keep a healthy number of tabs open at all times though their content is different from yours, usually when I close my computer I take the number down to between six and eight but when I'm browsing it balloons.
-
Welcome to the forest, comrade! Sorry for coming to the party a week late, usually I'm prompt with these things. But you've got to hold up your end of the deal, too--why did you make an introduction if you were only going to post a few times?
-
Ah... I still have take-a-break.exe in a folder on my desktop.

Enjoying Pesach?
Fuck yeah, blood. I got a ten day vacation for it altogether and I've never partied more in my life. My roommate started drinking at 12:30 PM yesterday, a new personal record.

Welcome to the forest, comrade!
I saw your Youtube channel before, but I thought it belonged to the other Seph who posts on these forums. Have you met that guy yet?

It's not really that hard core when it is required for a class, and I'm not so much of a history buff as much as trying to understand the thoughts of that time. Different historians do have their gravitated views, such as Jordanes who ( to quote my friend) " had a hard-on for (Visi)Gothic chicks". I believe he meant the union of the Romans and Germanic tribes....
Most of my sources are translated for the most part save for old Briton lais which are fun to read with the theorized Old-Middle English accent. However I don't do this well, so most of them time and sound like Sean Connery
Unfortunately no, I do not understand Greek/Latin/Arabic. Like everyone else I can recognize it, but not be able to translate.
It's the same with me, in I'd read tons of history books and online discussions about various historical points of interest whenever I had the time, just never the ones I was supposed to be reading. :) I could usually BS my way through class discussions though, and even impress the teachers if I skimmed the required reading right as class began. If only that strategy had worked in calculus class...

Hero, if you're gonna say that Canada isn't liberal, make sure that Quebec gets mention as "liberal as fuck". In my opinion, it's why Canadian politics are so boring. I don't know for a fact but I think that Quebec is still divided down the middle on the whole separation thing.
There are definitely a lot of leftists in Quebec, but even in Montreal there's a strong conservative presence. And culturally almost all the Bloc Quebecois types are going to be pretty right-wing, regardless of their party's economic policy. To be honest I don't hear too much about Quebec politics except in the context of the national question, but that's my impression. It's provincial politics are definitely more hardline than in most of the rest of Canada.
I think the separatist star is falling right now, that cause hasn't really been gaining popularity since the referendum failed in 1995 and most of the population growth since then has been pro-anglo, thanks to high immigration. It might be that the separatists will make a big comeback in the next generation though, if enough of those immigrants' children assimilate thoroughly and if the remaining Anglos in the smaller cities keep moving to other provinces.

Welcome to the forest, comrade!
I'm late but commenting anyway just because you're a Dragon Warrior fan. DW3 is one of the best games in the world, I recommend that you use the SNES version with its recent fan translation for your new playthrough.

Welcome to the forest, comrade! I'm Hero now, but I used to be called Thunk. You might remember me as the dunce of FEW.
Reading:
Currently I appear to be reading a lot of manuscripts from the early 300s to the late 1400s from Europe and the Middle East.
That's hardcore man! You're a bigger history buff than me, I stick to secondary sources for anything that old. Do you understand Greek/Latin/Arabic?

No i am not a newbie. Played SS like 3 years ago, finished SD a few times, and now i have an emulator for SS so i can beat it again. So no fun for you. :3
Two FE games? You're only 20% of the way there, son!

Hey Grape, good to meet you all the way out here.
