parking lots should be made of concrete instead of asphalt

it would make parking slightly more pleasurable and prevent global warming

That idea has been quantified, studied and done well, John.

However, like most sensible modern architectural advances, it is being done in Asia and Europe, while the US remains stuck in the 1950s/1970s, floundering as usual in scientific illiteracy, stubbornness, laziness, and the good ol Catch 22 standoff between outdated regulations and outdated architecture/construction. As in an increasing number of key respects, the US is stuck in the mud. But your idea is good, John.

Mainly that the topsoil (i.e. dirt) would runoff into the streams. Although there is significant runoff from asphalt parking lots, the asphalt itself does not run anywhere as far as I am aware.

I shaved with a new brand of razor today. The blade was was rather grippy, while the previous brand would glide over the skin. It was bad enough that I smooshed some greasy skin moisturizer into the shaving cream. Still grippy, but usable.

The resulting shave was the smoothest I've had in a years. I'm not sure if it was the grippy blade cutting extra close or just that I was paying a lot more attention, or some combination of the two. It was a pleasant surprise.

Recently woke up and had a shower. Got a 12hr train journey starting soon. The trip doesn't bother me but I know every time I think about it, it will remind me that I won't be seeing my partner for the next 6-8 weeks and I'll miss her.

I think this song you're hearing now is the only worth-while thing that came out of this game.

Well, it paved the way for New Vegas, which I very much enjoyed. I do hope Fallout 4 will be a little more grim like 3, though.

I recently torrented a film.
Normally they cut off just at the end of the footage unless theirs an extra scene.
But this one went on for the length of everything afterwards and then for another 5 or so minutes and i felt very pleased with that.
It meant i could bask in the blackness of my media player instead of returning to my self enforced 'upbeat' colourful desktop wallpaper.
I hope this speaks to someone.

When I was little, we didn't have a VCR. On rare occasions such as birthdays we'd sometimes rent one along with a movie. I'm glad we can just torrent films nowadays.

I also like sitting out the entire end credits.

I'm not entirely sure John sorry. Just a r&b about how that kind of waveform in a song shouldn't be acceptable.

What do we all have in common in juxtaposition to other chan user bases? What draws us together?

While I can identify with the theme of this site, I can already see differences from the get go: the moderators hurl cuss words left right and centre as if it's "cool" or something.

John Smith 13/05/12(Sun)14:03 No. 40396

John, it would seem the particular array of boards on this chan is ever so slightly different from others. That seems the most probable explanation, as to why we keep coming back to this place.

I just came here from 4chan and I have to say I like it a lot better so far. Although I have only been to this board and /class/ so these could very well be the only good boards on here and I'm just inexperienced.

Why is /class/ so pretentious?
I went in and it felt like each of them had a thesaurus next to their computer.
Who am I kidding? They used google. I don't even think they know what they are talking about. For example, one person was talking about earl grey tea. It's just tea with Italian orange oil. It's not even classy. Any regular Joe can buy it.
Back to the topic, what is the purpose of this board if the people on there don't actually devote themselves to being classy for the sake of class.
Not sure if meta is allowed on here by the way, But I figured that this thought fit this board.

Not quite on topic, but i drink earl grey because its one of the few western teas that taste good without milk, thus it is faster to brew and cleaner on the pallete than a more troditional cup of tea.

John Smith 13/05/14(Tue)01:29 No. 40411

They don't have a thesaurus, and they don't google. They rehash the same words over and over because they don't know any better. If they were serious about their 'scene', then they would read more and all would benefit.

Let us converse about love. A sappy matter.

So tell me, John. Where and how have you met your women? Or for Jane: where were you found?

My sincerest apologies, John. It was never my intention to exclude you from my survey. I didn't generalise the question, because I wanted to address Jane specifically.

Allow me to rephrase. Where have you met your partner?

John Smith 13/05/13(Mon)01:03 No. 40401

One at an advanced English class in elementary school (I don't live in an English-speaking country), one as part of my main group of friends, and one at a certain military unit's selection process (this is not weird, we have mandatory enlistment here). Waited too long before I talked to the first one. Asked the second to be my girlfriend at a new years eve party, after which I realized that asking a girl to be yours without ever dating her is not acceptable, no matter how close you were as friends. The third carries a longer tale than is reasonable for this thread, but suffice to say I didn't get her.

Hello John, it's been a while since I've spoken with you.

I lost about 30 pounds recently, and then gained back 10. I never really tried to lose the weight in the first place, so I am not very concerned about it either way.

So John, I would like to ask you, what things in your life do you seem to achieve without particular effort, while others seem to obsess over them? Perhaps they even become angry with you over this?

When i was younger i took to maths effortlessly, indeed it was one of the few secondary school subjects i actually enjoyed.

Sadly however i didnt keep up with it after school ended and persued BTEC IT instead, and now i cant even remember the pythagorean theorem...

But warm enough to wear shorts and a t-shirt.
