Learned Helplessness and Abusive Relationships

I agree Katie. Abusive people have you so convinced that you are wrong and they are right that you find yourself just stuck and unable to move. It takes a lot of courage to see the truth and walk out. But when you do walk out, you are assured of a better life.

A Scottish Cinderella

Good. I don't mind. I'm learning about Dire Wolves.
Don't hurt yourself....
haha

Ooops! But yes, that makes it even more fitting. :)

Sorry, I got side-tracked into Runescape; and now I'm half asleep in charge of a keyboard. If you don't mind, I'll come back tomorrow and waffle on about it.

And yes, I'm shocked at myself too. I shall whip myself soundly before putting myself to bed. LOL

Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?

Me too, but only when in a written debate. I'm crap verbally. I tend to get all emotional and flustered.

I thought of Zezima. It never occurred to me that Zarfot was in the same boat, but of course he was. You'd think that Jagex would have got the message by now. It is so much a matter of trust now. None of us always agreed with Andrew Gower, but we did believe that he had the best interests of the game at heart.

Not this new lot. They don't know their arses from their elbows.

It's a shame that you've met some gits on the forums so far. It's not you. You state your case very eloquently here; and with friendliness too.

Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?

I do my best to be on good behavior when I'm engaged in a debate against someone.

That wasn't even debating, it was sheer insulting. I just don't understand it.

Read the same story regarding S_U__O__M_I. His story seems to draw comparisons to that of Zezima and Zarfot, both of which were number 1 rank and both who posted their stories.

The general theme here is they don't particularly enjoy the game that much, and have gradually lost trust in Jagex. Other like-minded players who are also high rank share the same outcome.

Most of the time I enjoy the Internet. Places like Youtube, Wikipedia, and Google have helped me learn more about the world we live in. When it comes to forums, somehow I tend to be on the short side of the stick.

A Scottish Cinderella

Dang, I just lost my reply in the panic of spotting a vital typo. Donn borrowed a Cloak, not a clock. That doesn't make any sense!

Anyway, to repeat:
I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED that you of all people don't know this story! :-P
Yes, it was the Scottish section. Ellis gives Geal as "bright" and Donn as "brown-haired" and Critheanach as "shaking" because of her great beauty. yeah.
You know I for one would love to read anything you care to put up about Celtic history and Pagan symbolism. You know I love that stuff!

A Scottish Cinderella

I'd not heard that story before, which is quite a feat considering how long I've been reading Celtic tales and legends! (Oh dear... I even own the book...)

I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you. Tell me more stories! :D

I immediately recognized Baobh's name. She's more usually Badb in the stories that I read. Your spelling must be the Scottish Gaelic one.

As for the 'triplets' their names translate as Geal = white; Donn = brown; and Critheanach = shaking, tremulous.

Do you want me to go off on one about Celtic history and Pagan symbolism? I know it's not a passion that not many others share!

What Part of "No Phone" Don't They Understand?

Thanks. I just can't get excited about a phone call, unless i'm waiting to hear about something. Most if the time, I'm not.

What Part of "No Phone" Don't They Understand?

I'm so with you :) Some time ago I decided not to be a slave to the phone and re-organised my communication habits. I started leaving it switched off for days at a time. Like you, I stopped answering calls from people I can't identify (most of the time). Now I mostly use my cell as an alarm clock (and even that is pretty rare, ha!)
Funny thing, my life didn't crumble with all the changes. It improved.

Comparing Energy Saving Light Bulbs Vs Regular Light Bulbs

Usually the mercury inside CFL lamps is in the form of vapor but it is still dangerous. These bulbs are not supposed to be discarded in the trash. They should be discarded in places assigned by the government. Sadly, very few people know about this. Mercury is very poisonous and even if its in the form of a gas, residue left inside a broken bulb can effect humans in one way or another with sufficient exposure. Another thing is that it can end up in lakes, rivers and eventually tap water and fish.

If one of these bulbs breaks the best thing to do is to use gloves to pick up the pieces. Don't allow anyone in the family to touch a broken CFL bare handed especially small children or pets if you have any.

The good thing about many LEDs is that many of them (not all) have a shell made of plastic or a plastic like material that makes them resistant to shock in case one of them falls to the ground or is hit by an object for some reason.

Thanks for reading sheilamarie. =)

The Rise of Food Cooperatives and Food Buying Groups; Consumer Power and Sustainable Living

Hi nightowl,

It seems that no matter where we live we are either blessed with community leaders that listen, or bury their heads in the sand. It appears that more often than not, they bury their heads in the sand, in which case it's down to us, the little guy (or girl) to be discerning and spend our money wisely. I honestly believe that it starts with us and ends with us, we have buying power, we can affect change!

Thanks for commenting, nightowl. I also noticed the EC and I can't stop smiling. :)

Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?

Just been told, literally in the last two mins, that Suomi has just quit! He's only three skills away from 200m in all! http://gyazo.com/7026af61fee2548120f4bd10b6e6395e

I'm sorry that you've had a backlash like that. Those are precisely the sort of people Jagex wants playing not. Those who don't care about the game, they just want to buy their way to pseudo-success.

Indeed, re the internet. I love the internet so much, as it's opened the world up for me (http://wizzley.com/deaf-equality-online/). But I hate the way that some people use that anonymity to troll.

JoHarrington, Oct 24, 2012

Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?

Well, I went ahead and provided the link you posted onto a forum I enjoy using, only to receive a backlash of flame messages.

Some of them are saying "...Jagex needs to make money", others are saying 'it's either the bots or the micro-transactions. Your choice."

Jesus Christ, why is it I get stomped upon simply for stating an opinion countless others have already said? One guy even felt that the reviews given on Glassdoor aren't real.

I don't know why I even bother arguing with these people. It makes sense though that most of them are around 13-25 years of age with a seemingly 'average' account. I'm sure some of them are buying up spins and don't even care about the consequences.

That's the Internet for you. Being anomymous while shooting down people you don't know because you feel superior behind a computer screen.
