I think it's less about "MB" and more about doing things other than sitting behind a computer screen all day, regardless of the website you're on.

Don't worry. I'm sure no one in their right mind is taking it personally.

Good to hear you're feeling so centered Blarobbarg, best of luck with everything.

That's the thing though with how much technology we have nowadays you don't have to be sitting down behind a computer screen all day. You can be connected to the online world at all times with mobile devices and tablets. It's a non-issue. You can be out and about enjoying life and check on things online while out in the world.

I assumed, that to even the least perceptive people I've ever come across, the concept would naturally and obviously extend to any form of reliance on online "virtual" pursuits versus the world happening around them and their participation in it. Specifically, in the sense that the problem is one specific website versus a general reliance.

The fact that I need to even spell that out for the sake of having included the word "computer screen" leads me to believe you either know what I meant and are trolling, or don't know what I meant and somehow have ended up with less ability than the least perceptive people I've ever come across.

No offense or anything.
I might just be hanging out with geniuses and am a genius myself. Feel free to calculate those odds.

You can also be out and about and oblivious to the real world because you spend all your time staring at your phone.

An elderly man said to me today I will crash into something as I was so focused on my phone. What a wise man. I've already injured myself two times because of it. And I never learn.

Vanilla: I was bored so watched some old MB Cafe videos the other day. Has the cutest accent/smile I've seen.

Hermoine: my good pal. Top person. One member I'd totally like to meet one day.

DJ: He's alright despite having a pretty bad music taste. Willi.a.m top artist on Last FM?!? C'mon dude.

216: Pussy.

HHBH: Top guy, funny and intelligent when necessary. Don't back up his music taste by any accounts though.

Paul Smeenus: Wise old man. Quite like him despite that we have little in common.

Fred Hale Sr: Same as above. My dude though, need to see a picture of him.

Ki: Likes some bad music, bro.

Fluffy Kittens: I bet you're actually white. Still a top guy though. Respect his football knowledge.

I'm still a noob? I've been here for two years.

Thank you Manky. :)

Cheers Manky.

Btw I'm mixed race mate.

Aw naw. :( Damn, you're one of my favourite members here. I was hoping you'd come back and be more active. G'luck on your journey, and keep up the wonderful music taste!

that's the thing. You can create a happy medium between the two so you aren't always staring at your phone. There are slow points in life when you are out in the real world where you are doing absolutely nothing and that's when tech comes into play.

You just love talking down to people don't you. Or maybe it's just me that you do it with. Anyways. Mr. Genius. I latched more onto your phrasing of sitting down much more than "computer screen". Use the English language properly and just say what you mean the first time then you don't have to go around explaining yourself because you meant something different than what you actually said. You meant for it to have a greater meaning but you didn't elude to that anywhere in your post. Maybe that's how your genuis brain interprets your own statements.

Mankykaaant: Use old outdated signature that no one cares about and wishes to even see.

Paul Smeenus: Cool guy. Gets a little (a lot) hot under the collar at the drop of a hate over little things, but still a cool guy.

Sansa Stark: Probably the person on here who my opinion of changes the most. On the one hand she can go off the reservation and just be abusive to the point where I find her intolerable, but on the other the other 99% of the time she's one of my favorite people to just shoot the shit with.

HHBH: I still don't know why I love the guy. He's an ass, and doesn't really seem to like anybody on here, just appreciates their entertainment value, but he's a character whose presence I would miss if he ever left.

DJChameleon: To be honest I'm never sure how much of his sex stories are BS, but in general he's a pleasant guy whose musical taste takes an unfair beating. Maybe it's just because I like a lot of "crappy" pop too.

yes u r deal w/ it

Ya are what ya eat bro



Mr Charlie. I like this new dude
Neo. One of mbs finest. Plug is usually only fun when big neo is around
Manky. Dickhead

I thought maybe I'd do a little list, just for fun.

Sansa Stark - I like her a lot, her knowledge in books and human rights is pretty astounding. She should try not to worry too much about assholes though.

HHBH - His posts are probably some of the most interesting, and he listens to a lot of dark, crusty stuff. He seems like the suspenders type.

WWWP - I knew her since I joined, she's pretty awesome, sent me a book once. I kind of irritate her these days a bit, but I'm glad she puts up with my shit as much as she does.

DocSoft - Canadian godfather kid, he goes to crazy ass parties, and has some of the craziest stories to tell. He's the kind of kid you have awesome memories with.

DJChameloen - Probably one of the more understanding members, has 5 cats, and has questionable taste in music to some.

Rezz - Shares my love for Fender guitars, we used to always talk about gear before he became an exclusive .gif poster.

Maanky - Needs to use condoms, seriously man.

Batlord - Probably posts too much for his own good, kind of the smart ass type, makes me think about myself in terms of the fact that I'm nothing but a basement dweller these days.

216 - Just likes fucking with people, I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about him. His entire point of being here is to get under your skin, why take it personally?

Paul Smeemus - Dislikes me firmly, but I don't blame him. He likes to collect records and play bass.

Burning Down - She's okay, first one to realize who I was, but was nice enough not to tell anyone.

Neapolitan - We have a fondness for offset guitars, he and I share a lot in common taste wise. Overall, pretty nice dude.

Freebase - Used to have fun times with this dude, especially while he was drunk singing ABBA in tinychat.

Vanilla - Has nice assets, and that's all I'm going to say.

PoorOldPo - Who I wish I was when I was his age, really amazing artist, and he's also playing music in a group now too.

MondoBungle - Does more drugs and dooms more doom than any other 17 year old kid on the planet.

that's all for now.

Alex! You never irritate me!

No, you're cool with me, Alex. It took me a while to "get" you but it's all good now.

LMAO I'm happiest when I'm arguing w/ people though idk


but I'm so glad I'm not the only one keeping that memory of Jeremy alive, bruh's never gonna live that down ever (that was on tokbox during the #fuckbanter days tho)

Drug use doesn't make one cool.

Nope, I won't even defend that. I don't need to. The last album he released was pretty damn good except for the radio singles.

I don't have any reason to lie about those stories so take it however you want.

Only 3 cats. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had 5. 3 is my limit. I'd never take in 4 again. I was cat sitting for someone and four really bothered me.

Proceedest thou to one-minute and twenty-eight

What would be the fun in leaving nothing to errant interpretation?
;)

P.S.
I fixed your grammatical errors in the quote.
You're welcome!

Why thank you Grammar Nazi. The world would be an awful place without you guys in the world.

You can fix that too while you are at it.

Yea, such a world would be full of the sad character of individuals who give no consideration to putting effort into anything they aren't being graded on and directly benefiting from. Oh wait... Yea, that's already a thing. I guess we're not being Nazi enough!

Trollheart?

Look at section 1a.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but you ended you sentence with a preposition. He who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... or bust other people's...

I appreciate the spot, and will remember to integrate it into my daily vocabulary.
Thanks for helping!

(Versus)

FACK OFF GRAMMAR NAZI...

(There's a point being made here)


By the way, you should have written "your", not "you".
You're welcome!

The **** is this ****.

Yeah because when you want to give someone advice/teach them something. Of course it is best to talk down to them, be sarcastic as possible and expect them to just shovel the shit that you are handing them.

Um, yes Jess?
I'm here if anyone needs spelling or grammar checked ---in any post, or anything else. Always happy to foster the survival of the English language!
:wavey:

Oh, and still waiting patiently by the way... PM box ... zero messages ... depresshun settin in ... spellin begining to suffer.... :( :shycouch: ;)

Junkyard Donner: #1 member.

More like #1 bull****ter.

What is that? Seriously, what in the living name of **** is that? You didn't even need to put anything there. It would have been just fine without any kind of punctuation whatsoever. Loser.

Oh yes I did. It denotes a short pause, like for instance someone saying "If there's anything I can do for you at all --- I mean it --- let me know."

It's NOT the same as "If there's anything I can do for you at all I mean it let me know."

Double American loser! :p:
I challenge you to a grammar smackdown! :bringit:

This is so fucking silly like really having good grammar doesn't negate you from being an asshole or make you anything special whatsoever. I used to care about it and judge people on their spelling/grammar till I realised who really cares if you understand their meaning? I mean, especially on the internet, you don't know if you're coming across someone with a learning disability or whos first language isn't English.

Although tbh I will take the piss out of people for it if I think it's a funny spelling/grammar mistake, i.e. Marie w/ "I don't really drunk much"

but nitpicking on grammar/spelling translates, in my mind, to "I don't have an actual intelligent rebuttal to your point so I'm going to condescend to you b/c of some shit no one cares about"

Oh shut up and learn your place, son.
:D
