and found it kind of interesting. I wouldn't have thought I was being mentally abused, yeah he makes me feel ''inadequate'' ''crappy'' and reduces me to tears a lot but....

Is that it? The cold shouldering, the yelling, even before he trashed my awning I thought something wasn't right.

What do you consider mental abuse...?

So, I have heard it said so many times:
I hate kids, I only like my own!

So, the question is - when are they your own..
Biologically?

My mum and Dad adopted me. To them, I am their daughter regardless of genetics. Though I've heard many people say
"I couldn't foster/adopt a child, I just don't know if I could love them the way I shoulld"

A fair enough statement. At least they know they couldn't.

Could you? What kind of person do you think it takes?

If you don't know what the terms are, I suggest looking them up, but they all have to do with making your body better. From what I understand, Grinding is actual implants, while the other two are mainly just wearable objects to help. I believe there is a H+, which is the abbreviation of Transhumanism, that is an anklet that lets you feel if you are facing North.

Grinding is my favorite, though it is a lot more painful. You can implant neodymium magnets into your fingertips to give you a "sixth" sense. The "sixth" sense is magnetism fields. You can feel and actually draw a picture of the field around electronic devices and such, like wires or phones. The only person I really know of that has these is Lepth Anonym. If this stuff interests you, look her up. She is slightly insane though.

I'm relatively new to all of this stuff, besides the term biohacking and some of it stuff. There are even groups, forums, and buy sites online for the stuff. The buy sites are usually DIY counterparts to expensive equipment like the OpenPCR. From what I've read and seen of Biohacking, it's mainly just training to improve yourself based on your genetics, DNA and stuff. ]]> General Discussion NecromanticJester http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87668-Transhumanism-biohacking-grinding How do you meet and date a geek or nerd? http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87664-How-do-you-meet-and-date-a-geek-or-nerd&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Jun 2013 01:50:06 GMT Serious fecking face bbq111111 HOW???

I am researching avatars and their naturalness.

So, the Supreme court ruled that police can take an arrested person's DNA without a warrant.

Is this no different then a finger print and such? Or do you think this is a total violation of constitutional rights due to the DNA containing every little thing about a person's being?

I am not too sure, and I can see where someone is coming from when they say this is no different then collecting fingerprints, but I admit I do get a bad feeling
about this (in particular, I worry this will lead to a database of citizens).

Also, is this just me, or is the police force becoming over militarized? ]]> General Discussion theblackmist http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87604-Police-can-take-an-arrested-person-s-DNA-without-warrant Flight delayed for extended amount of time http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87603-Flight-delayed-for-extended-amount-of-time&goto=newpost Wed, 12 Jun 2013 03:32:20 GMT http://chicksontheright.com/posts/item/24335-attention-townspeople-this-is-how-to-make-the-best-of-a-rotten-situation So a flight that was about... http://chicksontheright.com/posts/it...tten-situation

So a flight that was about to leave Vegas ended up being delayed for a long amount of time. (Due to the heat some people ended up collapsing).

Due to the flight attendants not handling the situation properly, the people decided to be ironic and sing a certain song together.

So, if you were stranded on a flight like this, what would you do?

Even though I always buy food and water and use the restroom/lou before boarding the plane, I know I would have demanded we all be able to leave temporarily and get necessities (such as aforementioned food and water).

If they wouldn't let me, then I would start a group song if someone else didn't decide to start one. ]]> General Discussion theblackmist http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87603-Flight-delayed-for-extended-amount-of-time Should this kid have to change his name?

So, a school in Nebraska is trying to make a kid in Nebraska change his name just because his name in sign language looks like a gun.

The name of the kid is hunter and he is a deaf kid, hence the need for him to use sign language.

There are other incidents like this were kids accidentally create gun images.

Do you think this is all going too far?

Also, do you think the kid should have to change his name? (Slightly different then any of the other incidents that happened in the US of A because the creation of the gun image happens on a regular basis due to it being related to his name).

(Yes I know I might have made a thread related to this type of news before.)

My thoughts: no he should not have to change his name. ]]> General Discussion theblackmist http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87602-Should-this-kid-have-to-change-his-name-Also-gun-paranoia-going-too-far Caffiene withdrawal is a mental disorder?? http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87574-Caffiene-withdrawal-is-a-mental-disorder&goto=newpost Tue, 11 Jun 2013 03:22:41 GMT http://godfatherpolitics.com/11101/gun-control-and-mental-illness-caffeine-withdrawal-is-now-a-mental-disorder/ What is going on here?

What is going on here? Apparently caffeine withdrawal is becoming or is now a sign of mental illness?

Does anyone agree with this?

I know I do not, even though I do agree that both chronic fatigue and a repetitive amount of unusually harsh caffeine crashes do warrant checkups just in case something serious is going on (such as liver problems or development of diabetes or nutrition deficiency or too much caffeine or any problem related to blood sugar levels).


I do have a concern that labeling symptoms as mental illness and such would prevent people from going to the doctors, thus the person could miss out on catching a serous condition. ]]> General Discussion theblackmist http://www.animeleague.net/forum/showthread.php?87574-Caffiene-withdrawal-is-a-mental-disorder
