AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for participants to step away from their computers and engage with the real world, humorously referred to as "life." There's a playful banter about the absurdity of late-night conversations that often devolve into meaningless chatter. Participants reference historical figures like Alcibiades, discussing his life and the implications of his actions, while also touching on themes of age and maturity in a light-hearted manner. The conversation shifts to reminiscing about past chaotic nights on the forum, with members recalling their insomniac posting sprees and the impact of their interactions on thread dynamics. The tone remains jovial, with jokes about personal experiences and the occasional absurdity of their discussions, while also hinting at deeper connections among the members.

You People Need Lives!

Seriously, get away from the computer

There is a whole world outside of GD. It's time for you to experience it. I call it life. (except you danger, you're not ready for it yet)

If you weren't underage, I'd have a really good reply to that.

I always wanted a life :frown:. The non-standard smiley codes on PF bug me.

Of course, when it comes to utterly inane threads, what could possibly top this?
 
You mean we should go ...out there? {points to window}

I'm at work. This is my life while I'm at work.

Do any of you have any idea how many times I have forgotten the name "Alcibiades" today and last night? It's like five or six times.

He's 17 Moonie. He's old enough to say things to just not old enough to touch.
Ofcourse if he doesn't get it on his own then maybe you shouldn't tell him. :devil:

Alcibiades--the general who defected to Sparta from Athens, then defected from Sparta to Athens, then was exiled. Among other things, he was known for the horses and chariots he owned and his extravagant displays of wealth.

That's pretty much my view on it. Innocents are hard to come by these days, and with all the activity going on around the ring of fire, we might need a few to sacrifice to the volcano gods. :devil: :biggrin:
 
  • #15
Funny you should mention gods and... (shall not disturb the innocents) ...in relation to one another... because one of the reasons why Alcibiades defected to Sparta was that his enemies in Athens were going to put him on trial for crimes against religion, one of which was the defacement of the herms, which were statues of Hermes that had extensive... (shall not disturb the innocents) ...imagery.

the age of consent is 16
 
  • #17
Perhaps there it is. I've also heard that in states where the age of consent is under 18 there are generally certain stipulations to that as well. When you turn 18, no matter what, you are legally an adult.
 
  • #18
i am only 17, but i have a VISA. how does that work?

ya, in NH, my wonderful home-state, its 16. in Mass though, where i go to school, its 18. so for the summer I'm legal, when i go back to school I'm not...


So, smurf's already bailed on his own thread eh? see, its thread negligence that causes problems, not the threads themselves. tsk tsk.

Just because I'm not a chatterbox like you...

yeah but have you had a ******* ? That's what really counts.
 
  • #22
...maybe...

what is going on? there is a lack of craziness tonight.
 
  • #23
we need breaks every now and then you know. we're not just here purely for your own entertainment.
 
  • #24
it was just from the way u guys were talking, every night is as crazy as last night

It varies night to night. Last night things seemed to be especially out of control on the weird scale. We're still a bit nuts all the time, but actually try to have discussions and conversations rather than the sort of stuff that seemed to be getting posted last night.

And then there are those 'special' nights. Like when me and Franz used to go on insomniac binges. Didn't you guys just hate waking up and logging on to see our names as the most recent posters of every single topic in GD?

Yes, especially when we really were making a valid effort to kill the thread killer thread and would work for an hour to bump it way down the page and one of you would show up and move it back to the top!

Ahh, the good old days. :rolleyes:

Do you have any idea how many people in your lifetime you've managed to piss off enough that they'd want to hire a hitman to kill you just for the pure gratification of seeing your corpse?

I don't know, but we can start crazy rumors about his disappearance. :biggrin: My guess is that now that he's on summer break he's spending all his time with that young woman he's been head over heels about for the past several months. I wonder if he'll have a different view on whether "love" exists when he returns to us? :approve:
 
  • #32
no. he was with franzbear. he was a few feet away from franzbear when Evo shot franzbear down, closing him. franz came out and was shot on accident. he's in the hospital. and evo hasn't been around lately because of the trial cases for the murder of franzbear and the attempted murder of franz
