    Well, I'll make sure to always give feedback on your work ^_^ Maybe the 2 paragraph ones I used to give to aspiring artists. I am bad at differentiating people based on glances of ava/sigs. I can tell by what you guys post who you are,but I can't just briefly look and say "That's Blue".

    that's a cool picture.

    Well, I'm not sure if I think that everything everyone does balances out to be perfectly neutral (on an individual basis, at least), but I do like the thought of it.

    Avatars and sigs are predominantly how I tell who people are. I didn't even notice Drekmen change his name until I saw someone point it out.

    I didn't notice it until you said it just now. I haven't seen him for a day or two, though, so I'm forgiven.

    Hurts like hell. Oddly enough, whenever I let my arm down on my side completely, pressure builds up in the hand and it gets progressively more painful until I bend the elbow back up.

    Probably because blood all falls down and has a hard time getting up. I think. I'm not an expert on human anatomy.

    Don't think you can go changing avatars and sigs to confuse me though. Once I see someone with a new combo, it's instantly registered in my mind who they are. Not even joking or exaggerating.

    That sounds awful. Did they prescribe any painkillers for you, or just throw you a bottle of antibiotics?

    They gave me both, but I didn't bother with the painkillers. It only hurts when I use it or when I put my arm down like that

    That's exactly it! It can't be perfectly neutral or it's imbalanced (too neutral). It isn't perfectly neutral and therefore is imbalanced, which is thus balanced because it's somewhat but not completely balanced.

    I don't even know how I differentiate people. I mean, avatars and signatures help, but so does posting style and speech patterns. Wishmaster, for example, doesn't have very good English (no offense), while someone Drekmen typically either is trolling someone or expressing a devil's advocate opinion, Rokom typically only posts when semi-philosophical things are being discussed, Solazz likes throwing random/dramatic-pause hard returns into his post, and someone like you just throws your own opinion or ideas out there without regard to social/cultural expectations or taboos.

    I'm so bored and there are so many things I could do but I don't feel like doing anything.

    First world problems I guess.

    What if they change their combo very often

    Actually that makes a lot of sense.

    W1shm4ster I can recognise from a crippling need for affection, Drekman normally forgoes capital letters and full stops, but that is a trait occasionally taken on by other weeaboos. Rokom is, I don't see him much I just know he's Spike the magician. Solazz does that a lot yeah, but I also see that in other weeaboos. I just say what I want to because it usually is fine. In cases where it's not fine, I still stick to it and see which it's not good.

    What I was saying about the weeaboos is that Naro, Drek and Solazz usually do


    this thing

    to draw emphasis to a certain part of their posts, Solazz and Naro moreso than Drek, but I have still seen them all use it. Then the no caps or full stops thing I often see when they are having weeaboo conversations with each other.

    I might suggest taking them before sleeping so you don't wake up in the middle of the night in pain, but if you can function without them otherwise, more power to you.

    Hmm, so the nature of imbalance keeps things in balance. Makes a bit of sense, I suppose, though I still don't particularly think it works on an individual level. On a population level, however, I can totally see it; especially if you consider the imbalance "shifting weight" so to speak, and changing which side of the equation is heavier.
