    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Are you sure Scottish people don't have some antiquated dialectal form which is actually a lot COOLER?

    cussing

    I tend to prefer English cursing to Dutch because 99% of Dutch cursing is disgusting. The prevalence of cursing with cancer... ouch. My Swedish cursing is limited to "jävlа" whatever and för helvete. so.

    I also don't play metal or hard/prog rock with my band. I am sure I could get away with a song or two like that, but not an entire setlist. I like the music, but I've been exposed to it for so long that the "trick" of it being new and rebellious and different and whatnot has worn off a little. I...

    10/10 <333 (no words needed). Sadly Anathema doesn't feature on my listening routines lately, mostly because my whole taste is changing. Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

    cussing

    Actually the connotation of to breed is exactly what that word still has in Dutch, hahaha... Cursing's a bit silly, but you can render emphasis quite colorfully with it. Cursing in English is quite limited though, English is a terrible language to curse in because you have like three options...

    How important is being well-regarded among the mods/other well-reputed members to you?

    It's cool to be liked. But I don't set too much store by other's people's opinions, because I am not a dancing monkey who requires others to maintain self-esteem. Better to be liked obviously, but if they do then they will. And if not, well I guess there's a lack of personal chemistry we can...

    2012 US Presidential Election

    Watching the American elections is like having a contest between a blind and a one-eyed archer. The one-eyed archer wins because he can actually manage to hit part of the target (thanks to having some eyesight) whereas the blind man's arrows are basically all over the place and dangerous enough...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    It's ok, it's mostly that the times I am going to use this in Swedish, I best be correct. I checked and my textbook is from the 70s because it does mention the moonlanding. Anyhow, thanks for the info, now we know how to handle it in Swedish (that's one language that has it right then). You...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    No, I meant de as a 3rd person plural pronoun (which I know for a fact exists). But yes, they are pronouns, just a different type of pronoun. Should have made clear what I was referring to. Tack för det.

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    What is the Swedish neutral pronoun? I know han/hon/de but this neutral one eludes me (my textbook is from the 60s or 70s though so that doesn't help the matter).

    Suggest Movies for Me

    I can second Shutter Island (quite like that one), of course Fight Club (I left it out because it had been mentioned already), Princess Bride, Spirited Away, and the first part of the Matrix trilogy (2 is acceptable and 3 is shit).

    Suggest Movies for Me

    To go for another cult movie: Trainspotting. I also think Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan are good movies (but considering this is Darren Aronofsky they are a little weird). Other movies I've liked recently are Intouchables (but that's in French of course), Haevnen (which is in Danish I...

    If you had your own band/group....

    Shouldn't you translate that to Romanian? Romanian vowels would make for good singing I think

    Skyrim!

    I've played several characters. I actually prefer playing as a Dark Brotherhood/Thieves Guild combo type player, focusing highly on sneaking up and shooting them either from a distance with a bow or just using my daggers to kill them. I have a preference for ranged anyway. I also have a mage...

    One of the few metal bands I can still listen to, mostly because the memories here are very personal and don't involve anyone else. Also the coolest guys on the planet. Dragonforce solos can go fuck themselves. 9/10 Пара нормальных - вставай, с первыми лучами, вставай!

    does anyone here speak italian

    I don't speak Italian, but if you get yourself a reliable source on the internets (or a coursebook) you should be fine.
