Franchement je m' en cognais, ils ont une marge de manoeuvre tellement infime à l' heure de la mondialisation ... Mes parents par contre ils...

At the Hotel ? There' s plenty of room there :3
I' d rather put it as "imbalanced". Societal and cultural pressure make each and everyone of us grow our own specific eccentricities, true, but putting that aside there can be identifiable "flaws" or "bugs", so to speak, in one' s brain development. Possibilities are numerous : a specific genome, drugs or chemicals, traumatic events, illnesses etc ... Bit of both. The genes we inherit can give us or predispose us to specific imbalances, but genes do not determine our brain development entirely. Our experiences also play a crucial role in this, especially our very first experiences. Here' s two examples to illustrate : - If a baby born with perfectly functional eyes is left in the dark permanently, shortly after his birth, then his brain will barely develop any synaptic connections with the eyes' nerves, leaving the child blind for life. - Years ago in Eastern Europe, after a tragic incident, some nurses working in a hospital were left with numerous orphan babies to take care of . The hospital had all the equipment needed to take care of the babies and enough food to nourish them but they barely had time enough to feed them all. Half of them died. Those who survived developed psychological problems later on. This sad story allowed us to realize that babies need to be touched a lot for their brain to develop normally, feeding them isn' t enough. We also suspect that our early touch experiences or traumas play a key role in our predisposition to addictions. Sensory deprivation as a whole is psychologically devastating in our early years, our early experiences shape our brain as much as our genes, if not more. That' s why learning languages is easy as pie for babies while adults have a much harder time doing so. Also, experimenting with people having severe lesions in the part of the brain connecting the two hemispheres brought about some weirdly fascinating results : they can develop two distinct personalities at the same time, one hemisphere controls the mouth, the other the left hand. One can be atheist while the other believes in God. It has even been documented that some people with such lesions have been awakened in the middle of the night ... by their left hand trying to strangle them, to their own bewilderment ! Science has barely begun to uncover our brains' secrets, who knows what kind of beast lies buried in our psyche' s depths ? "In this world, there is no sanity or insanity. Here lie only the thousand faces of madness." ~ Desty Nova "Igor had to admit it. When it came to getting weird things done, sane beat mad hands down.†~ Terry Pratchett "Teppic realised that the high priest was, indeed, truly mad. It was the rare kind of madness caused by being yourself for so long that habits of sanity have etched themselves into the brain.†~ Terry Pratchett "His mind worked fast, flying in emergency supplies of common sense, as human minds do, to construct a huge anchor in sanity and prove that what happened hadn't really happened and, if it had happened, hadn't happened much." ~ Terry Pratchett
Spoiler Don' t forget that Fury is a big fat liar, I read somewhere that the Son of Coul is already confirmed to appear in Iron Man 3. Yes, about that, I forgot to mention, if you watch the Thor movie closely here' s something you can spot in Odin' s vault : Spoiler
The dynamic lighting and textures have also been downgraded, the PC versions still look (and possibly sound) much better. Improving the resolution is utterly useless if they can' t even emulate the damn thing decently, the HDC screenshots I' ve seen so far looked hilariously terrible.
Just show her this : [video=youtube;zpHgBsUi6CM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpHgBsUi6CM&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Yes ! Do me ! I mean ... thanks ! I' ve barely been hugged in my life (girlfriends aside), so when it happens it feels really awkward and it' s not something I' m inclined to do to others, but I' m touched by the intent. :cryinganime:
Fitting for a chevalier I guess. ^^
- Anyone. - Out of the blue ? No one, sorry. - Any girl (on their cheek, otherwise I' ll pass).
22, I expected to be slightly above average.
We call it "pain perdu", which literally translates as "lost/wasted bread", but "old bread" is a good translation choice. The idea is that we use that recipe to eat bread that has gone stale. Wikipedia says it is also called "pain doré" (golden bread), especially in Canada, but I' ve never heard anyone call it that way.
Lol, who doesn' t ? I' m surprised he kept speaking English rather than Gobbledigook, formal language is such an obvious bias vector.
Let' s call him Cheshire Mak !
Both gender and rep define you, one just happens to be relevant to me while the other isn' t. All the same, if I was to explain what an apple is to someone who is about to eat one then I' d rather describe it as a fruit that tastes sweet rather than as an object that has 3454577476 instances on earth at the moment. I agree with you, in the end relevance is subjective. Just because I don' t click with people for X or Y reason doesn' t mean I judge them negatively for it. Frankly, people hiding their gender don' t bother me as much as my numerous posts make it sound. I' m quite aware that in the big scheme it is a trivial detail, despite my personal preferences. . . . See ? See ? That awkward feeling I' m having right now is one of the reasons I' d rather avoid assuming genders. ^^
Definitely sloth. If I' m interested in what I' m doing I won' t count the hours, otherwise I can be a real slacker. Exactly. Is it bad because God said so, or did God say so because it' s bad ? The concept of sin carries a lot of religious baggage I' d rather not have to deal with. I view sins as impairments, as personality traits that definitely leave room for improvement, not as "crimes" we should suffer for eventually since we already do endure their consequences.
I' m a little confused, you realize I was being sarcastic, right ?
