Tulsa, OK

Good: We have a legitimately historic drive-in theater that actually is still in operation.

Bad: The roads are horrible, the cops and teachers are underpaid, but yet taxes are high.

Hate this thing. It's been around forever and it's always been biased to the libertarian/left side of the compass. When I took this thing it'd put me near the center, although I know I lean towards the right.

I started playing all the campaigns in Age of Empires (plus Rise of Rome), Age of Empires II (plus The Conquerors) and Empire Earth (yeah, keeping it relatively old-school) in chronological order. I'm currently doing the Moctezuma campaign, so I'm done with AoE and almost done with AoEII.
Age of Empires II is one of my favorite games all time, expansion pack included. I've beat all the campaigns in Age of Kings and Age of Conquerors at least 5 times each. Multiplayer for that game was so much fun before MSN closed down The Zone. It's a shame that all good multiplayer communities have to die some day. That's a reality I had never considered back when online multiplayer was a relatively new concept. Now, anytime I play the multiplayer-based games I had played growing up like Counter-Strike or Neverwinter Nights, I can't stop thinking about the finite amount of time those communities have because of the dwindling player base that declines over the years. Same concept applies to Cyber Nations. One day, this game too will fade into the oblivion.

I've seen this twice before, but each time I see it I read it all over again. Still makes me laugh.

The only person I talk to on MSN these days is Shamed. Not sure if he counts as 1 person or -1 persons. XD

If by gay you mean doing your mother than yes I am.

Real mean look at real breasts.

I suppose I'll have to take the fact that I was not mentioned to mean I was in the etc. category.

Yeah, I feel the exact same C-Zom. I've changed in ways that are hard to think about. But the weirdest thing is...I was most active in Cyber Nations during one of the most developmental states of my life. Now that I've seen myself mature, I'm noticing elements of who I am that derived from this game and the people in it. I am definitely not the person I was when I signed onto Maroon forums to go around antagonizing people, but I like to think I took something from the experience.

I mean that last sentence in a literal sense as well as introspective. In addition to finding myself over the 3 year old mark in Cyber Nations, I'm finding myself scheduling visits to Loren in New York City on a regular basis. We've been in a committed relationship for a while and this thread just made me feel like I should throw it out there that we've both changed a lot.

I still love Maroon though, that hasn't changed. I don't think that I'll ever look back on this phase of my life and regret it.

All the old-as-shit Marooners say whaaat. On that note, it appears I have lost my custom usergroup "Dick in a Box". I am very saddened by this loss. If I can get Loren to come back to CN, can me and her get our usergroup to be "Cuban Dick in a Box"?

Maybe that'll bring her back.
She actually came back, but her computer exploded.

Edit: I suppose saying her computer exploded is a bit ambiguous. Basically, her computer is really old and she has only an old, integrated graphics card. While this works for, say, a forum, it does not work for anything that is more graphically intensive than a YouTube video. A few weeks ago, she ran into something that caused her computer such a headache that the power supply died. Her computer has been getting repaired since then and she should be back by within a week.

I did have 'fun,' actually.

Also, you are my temporary Loren until she returns.
Gasp. I'm telling Loren that she's been replaced.

For one, I noted socialism as being negative because it has a negative connotation in this image. The fact that it's plastered under the face of a super villain, no matter how awesome the villain, just makes it seem that the creator of this poster does not think positively of it. The basic construction of the image is associating the word socialism, Obama, and villainy all in one picture.

For two, the idea of capitalism isn't for an invisible hand to guide the economy. It's for all the hands of the consumers of the free market to guide the economy. Each individual contributing to the current that decides what fails and what succeeds, as per the demand of the consumer. At it's core, capitalism is not a brilliant method to maintain a healthy economy. It's like everything else in this world, it has it's downsides and upsides. I'm sure we're all familiar with the downsides at this point (such as monopolies and robber barons), but the upside is that we have liberty and choice.

For three, the idea of socialism is not perfect at it's core. I don't care how many socialism-junkies on the internet tell this to me. It's ridiculous that people can acknowledge that not any one aspect of life is in black and white, yet they come to this issue and treat it that way. There is no perfect system, and that is because we are human. Humans, by nature, are imperfect. Thus, our creations, by nature, are imperfect. We have flaws, lots of them. Just as our machines rarely run at 100% efficiency due to kinks in the system such as friction and other things we all learned in science class, the machine that we know as society will never be perfect. We do not have the privilege of living in a perfect world. We just have to make do with what we have.

That all being said, blaming all your hardships on some stereotypical rich capitalist with frivolous purchasing habits is hardly mature. Making up some scapegoat for you to hate because things are going poorly does not help stop things from going poorly. It merely propagates a stereotype for people to hate, and hate never fixes anything.

I really can't see how that's racist. I loved The Joker, so in my eyes, the only negative part is the word socialism - which has nothing to do with Obama as a person but with Obama's political stances. And his political stances are rather socialist, so it's not like it's even slander.
