I was never held back in school. Mostly honor roll student.
I graduated high school on my 18th birthday. I was one of the youngest in my class.
Being 18 in the 12th grade does not qualify you as being retarded. Now being 22 in the 10th grade,... that's a different story.

No worries Dusdee.
Pescado just likes to poke people to see how they will react. It seems to be one of his favorite past-times.

I've been playing FB games a lot lately since I can't play sims cause my main computer is currently being used for a job I'm doing (long story).
Anyway,
Every time I see all the "premium" items that can only be bought with the special app money (which usually costs real money), I'm reminded of paysites. Then my piratey side always kicks in and refuses to pay real money for play money. I would rather earn stuff through playing the game, not simply buying pixels because I'm too lazy to earn them. What's the fun in that?

Simply gorgeous. It took my breath away the moment I saw it. Must have.


I almost always end up using the appliances from "The Basic Kitchen", by buggybooz. They seem to go with everything, plus they are updated to work with all EP's.

Hatshepsut wasn't known for her beauty, but she had to have been better looking than that. She looks deformed and angry about it. If she saw this, she would regret being immortal.

Britney has five o'clock shadow.

Yes, exactly.

Paden, you certainly have a way with words that is so much clearer than mine. Thank you for saying what I was trying to say.

I have no sympathy for him either. I agree with you Paden about the keylogger thing. There's no way he couldn't have known about that, but he's still a tool.

I just don't want to see people here bending over for him just because he seems more civil. I still do not trust his motives or his claims of ignorance (when it comes to technical things). But he's not going to admit he knew about the keylogger no matter how much he tries to appear honest. He may be naive, but he's not stupid.

Pirates, do not be lulled by Johan. He does not need our help or our sympathy. If he really wants to be informed, maybe he should ask his brother.

I'm not saying that this is part of some master plan. I think it is more a matter of convenience. Anytime something happens and fingers are being pointed at TSR, Johan shows up to try to get information and maybe do some damage control. But he always seems to be clueless when we have any questions for him. Johan apparently does not think the same way as the rest of those at TSR. Perhaps he simply cannot fathom such behavior from people so close to him. I'm saying that they know that about him, so it's convenient to just let him act as PR on his own accord. He can honestly say that he doesn't know how Atwa snuck in, or how she became an FA again and again, or how she got a hold of the list. I believe he really doesn't know. But I also believe that it provides a way for TSR to manipulate our emotions. You see how people who were all ready to lay into Johan, now seem to be almost defending him because of his more pleasant demeanor. If anyone else from TSR tried to come here for info, they would be attacked immediately and the attacks would only get worse the longer they stayed. But Johan does not receive such harsh treatment and distrust. I am sure that Thomas and friends are fully aware of this dynamic and are milking it for all it's worth, with or without Johan's knowledge. In this sense he is a tool of plausible deniability whether he knows it or not.

Why is Johan, a technician, here at all, playing the part of PR?
Two words:  plausible deniability

Johan is the only one there with a high enough position for us to pay attention, but clueless enough (or naive enough) to honestly deny things.

Just like George Bush had plausible deniability when Cheney would commit atrocities, because Bush was Cheney's tool. Here, Johan is Thomas's tool. Thomas can't come here himself and deny these things because later it would come out that he lied. But Johan can honestly say he doesn't know and later it would still be true.

OMG! Yes! Must Have Now!

Buggybooz = awesome!

bolded by me

Johan, did this statement appear on TSR? It clearly implies that you (collective) have this list. Does it not?
That is all I am going to say about it.
Now fuck off and die.

Thank you Paden for the link. I am writing my complaint letter now. I've been working on it for the last 4 hours.
I am #20 on the list. Funny thing, when I signed the petition (I know, stupid), I made a mental note that I was the 20th person to sign it. I have a feeling that Atwa's list is nearly identical to the petition's list. Probably omitted specific names for whatever batshit-crazy reason, so there's only 614 names instead of 629.
I'm not worried about my email address and real name being revealed. Anyone with half a brain can figure it out. Since I am an artist, I have my real name and contact info on several sites. I want people to be able to contact me so they can give me their money. I don't care about spam either, I just delete whatever gets through my spam filter, which isn't much.
But I am still pissed off about this. A lot of people like to keep a low profile. Their private info, no matter how inocuous it may seem, should never be shared without their knowledge or consent. It is absolutely unacceptable.
Thomass admitted they have this list. We know this list is the result of BlueSoup's petition being hacked. Therefore, he has in his possession information which was obtained illegally. In this country (US) that is a crime tantamount to possession of stolen goods or even insider trading. Both are punishable by serving serious jail time.
I am fuming over this.
For my complaint letter, I need to know 1) what is the name of the company that owns TSR? and 2) what is the correct spelling of Thamass's full name?

eta: In their statement they say they're talking to lawyers? Yeah, they're talking to lawyers. To find out how to not get sued over this.

The thing that is wrong with this rug is that those are not tiger stripes. They are zebra stripes.
The moron creator apparently thinks that all animal stripes look the same. He/she probably found someone else's zebra stripe rug and thought "I can make a tiger stripe rug out of this by simply changing the color. Then I'll charge money for it." I pity their obvious lack of intelligence.
Also it looks like the zebra rug from TS1.

eta: Still thinking about this stupid rug. Whoever made it didn't bother to look at a picture of a tiger first or they would know that tigers aren't even that color (which I'm assuming is some sort of burnt ocre). Tigers are not floodfilled. They are a deep sunburst orange on top that gradually fades to pure white on the belly. There are also little white stripey parts on the face. It always bothers me when someone tries to create something that they are completely ignorant about, especially animals.

Thanks Redraw. There's a full moon, it's Halloween, I've already watched a dozen scary movies, and I live out in the middle of nowhere, but that yuotube video of the doll is what will give me nightmares. That's assuming I'll be able to sleep after seeing that. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Those tables are as plain as white bread. How are they "stylish"? They're just ordinary boring tables, and why are they floating?

First - why is that last "Lady Gaga" hair the color of piss?
I can't stand it when I see what's supposed to be blonde hair, made yellow or orange or green. Yellow =/= blonde!

Second - The creator of the "nocturnal eyes" needs to use a less recognizable photo to glue her sim face on to. I recognized Tyra right away. And as much as I can't stand that narcisisist Tyra, I still don't think she deserves to be used as a manequin in a crappy photoshopped picture made to sell pixels.


I couldn't find the exact photo that was used, but I found this one that is very similar. I just had to prove my point.

Third - I hate that people seem to think that eyes have to look like they glow in the dark in order to be pretty. As a brown-eyed girl, I wish there were more people making beautiful brown eyes for my sims.
