I keep constantly editing mine. This time I've taken out the random facts and just put a brief backstory. I hope it makes since.

Uh. Alright so I really want people to post here so I can creep you but Raz said I was being a hypocrite so here you go, now condensed with the magic of Disney spoilers.

Who the hell is this Ven guy?: show
Yo. That'd be me. I was born in Alberta, Canada on January 6th, 1993, meaning I'm currently 22 years old. My real name is Kyle Fitzgerald, but almost everyone I would consider a good friend doesn't bother with that; I consider being a citizen of the global internet far more interesting than being a citizen of a local region of land so usually I'm just Ven in real life too. As for what you can call me, feel free to use whatever you like. As long as I know you're talking to me, I'll try to answer, and I always appreciate a good name pun. :p

I'm male, white as hell, with brown/black hair and blue eyes. Fun fact: I've got a ginger beard though, it's probably my Irish showing. I'm pretty skinny, probably about 178 cm tall (that'd be... I dunno. 5'11" for you Americans? Shame on you for measuring things in inches still) and weighing 52 kg (115 lb in freedomunits). I know those numbers are not considered healthy at all for my age and gender but I've been trying the last eight years to no avail and I've just about give up- I haven't dropped dead yet so that's something. I'm heterosexual and cis (yup I'm boring), at least until modern science has evolved to the point where I can upload my brain into a computer. At that point I will presumably identify as the internet and will be far too busy doing cool things in cyberspace to care what you refer to me as.

In terms of personality, I am extremely introverted and asocial. Even if I'm not participating in them, being near groups of more than a few people is something I find immensely draining. I need my alone time and will take it abruptly if necessary, going so far as to sneak away while nobody is paying attention or even trigger a seizure to completely turn off the rest of the world. I am also very independent and self-confident. I cannot stand relying on others for any reason whatsoever, and consider inability to deal with a challenge a grave personal failure.

People often describe me as cold and detached, partly because I do not see the value in wasting time on things society finds trendy, and partly because it's difficult for me to relate to others in any meaningful way. This isn't to say that I am apathetic about everything- people who know me a little better would likely describe me as impulsive and chaotic, as I tend to become obsessed with things that manage to catch my interest, and the things I am currently obsessed with frequently change without rhyme or reason, sometimes in a matter of hours. I am a great multitasker (I say as I type this, mentally write the next paragraph, disassemble my phone, pay attention to IRC, and idly doodle rocket designs), and in fact cannot work effectively without multiple side projects to keep my main focus from becoming stale and uninteresting.

I tend to avoid strong emotions of either polarity, viewing them as a distraction from other, more important things. As such, it's pretty uncommon for me to have strong emotions one way or the other, and takes a great deal to elicit one from me. However, when it happens, I have no issue letting people know. On the internet, it's easier to be unguarded, so I am likely to be more outgoing and friendly than in reality.
What are my character flaws?: show
I am a sociopath. In a nutshell, this means I have difficulty with the "human experience". I have manipulative tendencies and take great pleasure in successfully influencing systems to spit out the result I'm after, sometimes getting carried away with reaching those results at any cost. My mind does not ever stop- I routinely catch myself observing the actions of strangers, rating them on a scale of usefulness, predicting their next moves, wondering how I could make them act to serve whatever arbitrary goal I had in mind instead, weighing the benefits and success chance of each approach, and (even if I don't intervene in any way) noting the outcome and comparing it to my predictions before repeating the entire process. I This is something I deal with every single day, to varying degrees of success.

Heavily related to the above, I have a superiority complex. In my mind, I am better than everyone and everything else. Life is just a game, my game. This makes it very easy to justify actions to myself by dismissing the thoughts and emotions of others as inferior to my own. It's very easy to see people as nothing more than game pieces to be moved at my whim if I'm not careful.

I am an extremely adept liar, and can fake the "correct" reaction in almost any given scenario.

Somewhat related to the above, I have trust issues. To me, trust is something that has no place in the world. Its only function is to hurt people- invariably, that trust will be broken. The idea that two people can and would enter into a relationship (of any kind, romantic or otherwise) without any way to enforce it is alien to me. This is not to say I trust nobody, because I've obviously submitted this to an entire forum full of people, but it's something I have a great deal of difficulty with... and possibly something I will never fully comprehend.

I also experience somewhat muted emotions, and conscience. This is something I don't consider a bad thing, but a lot of other people do, so... Imagine knowing you're happy, but you don't feel happy- personally, I don't mind this, as emotions tend to be distracting. I am capable of making the distinction between right and wrong, but when I usually don't feel as bad as a normal person would after doing something wrong.

I am a huge perfectionist. This wouldn't usually be severe enough to be considered a "character flaw", except I am very obsessive about certain things- like the desire to make things perfect, as I believe they should be. The drive to fix everything, especially things that are not my "problem", from the cracks in the sidewalk to next-door's noisy vehicle to that ugly staircase in Minecraft to someone else's failing relationship, is another thing I live with all the time. It can be bad enough that I will work and rework a tiny detail of a massive project until I'm satisfied with it... only to realize it's thrown my whole schedule off and I guess I'm not sleeping tonight to make up the lost time.

If I feel something is not worth my time, I will neglect it until it goes away. This has cost me a great deal of school assignments. I can be spectacularly absent-minded toward things I don't have a vested interest in.

Lastly, I am completely indifferent to the value of my own life. I am intelligent enough to realize that death is permanent, and that there is a vast number of fascinating things to do in life, but I do not have any particular attachment to being alive. I tend to be more reckless than I should be as a result of this, and have been seriously injured more than once because of it.

A few of you have probably guessed at some of these things, but here they are outright. It's definitely affected certain aspects of my interaction with this community before, and that isn't necessarily something I want. I'm making this list because a couple of these things are rather huge and still bring back pangs of guilt (which is saying something, if you've read the above), so what I'm hoping to achieve is twofold: firstly, all of you now should have a better idea what to expect, and therefore avoid it. And secondly, the first step to fixing something is admitting there's a problem. So now maybe, instead of dealing with these things myself, you guys can yell at me to quit the ♥♥♥♥? I'd appreciate it.

These last few years, I've become fascinated with interpersonal relationships. I don't have the clearest idea why multiple people would want to come together, and build off each other's strengths; nor can I really understand why that persists even after a massive argument. It's entracing. I'm a scientist at heart, and I need to study that. Perhaps even want it for myself. And for once, there's zero desire to manipulate it to give a more perfect outcome. Just know that I consider a huge number of you guys good friends, and I hope you'd do the same for me, flaws and all... because it's definitely this community that triggered that change.
What are my personal views?: show
Uh, yeah. I don't really know what to put here so I guess I'll just do whatever everyone else has in this spot.

  • Religion: I was raised to be Catholic, and began to question it around age 6. I soon discovered very few people could give a satisfactory answer, and none could give an answer that did not revolve around "having faith". It wasn't long before I turned away from organized religion of any form, but the universe is so facinating, chaotic, and beautiful- I did not immediately dismiss the idea of a godlike entity until the last few years.

    Now, I am athiest. It's my opinion that any gaps in our knowledge are there only because we're still learning about this crazy universe, and I fully expect them to be explained scientifically sooner or later. Despite this, I believe religion can be a positive force. I agree with the morals behind a number of them, but it's simply not for me- if I can't be a decent person thinking for myself, if I can't find my own reasons to exist, that's not an existence I want to have.

    With that said, I love to talk about world religions, their various advantages and disadvantages, even personal experiences. Whatever you believe is your business, and it won't affect my opinion of you unless it prevents us from having a civil interaction.

  • Sexuality/Gender Identity: I understand that this is one of the most basic, fundamental aspects of anyone's identity, and that it's super ♥♥♥♥ up to attempt to repress people for not conforming to the binary male/female system without any valid justification, but at the same time... I feel it's made out to be a far bigger issue than it really is. For every one person who doesn't fit into the binary, there's a hundred more who do. Nobody is actively at war over this, yet at least. The system works for an overwhelming majority of people, and that's what democracy aims to do. And it really doesn't help when every edgy teen is making up ♥♥♥♥... honestly, what the hell is gendervoid. That's not an identity issue, that's a personal problem.

    Bottom line is, sorry, I'm going to assume you're a man if you look like a man and a woman if you look like a woman. If it bothers you, just let me know, because I'm not psychic and sometimes it's not obvious. I'll apologize and make a note for next time. If you're going to be aggressive or an idiot about it, you're just ruining it for other people and I'll tell you exactly where you can go.

  • Emotions: Mentioned it earlier, but I'm indifferent to emotions. Anything other than calm neutrality impairs judgement, and I find it tiring to be around extremely emotional people for extended periods of time.

  • Death: Death fascinates me. I'm not suicidal at all, but sometimes I contemplate it. It's a mystery, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. :p

  • Life: Life is pretty cool, and I find it hard to stay depressed when every day is a different set of circumstances. If I see death as an adventure because it's unknown, life would be the polar opposite- it's interesting because nothing about it is unknown, it's just a matter of picking what to actually do.

    But that's probably not what the question is asking, so... The right to life is something I would consider extremely important. I guess that means I'm pro-life when it comes to abortion, because really, it's 2015. It's ridiculously cheap and ridiculously easy to not become a parent, and honestly, any relationship at that point should have discussed these possibilities well in advance. One-night things are no exception, if you're down with something like that I'm not going to judge, but then you should have no qualms talking about these things.

    Another thing that's worth noting- I believe that anyone's life is nobody's to control but their own... even if they choose to leave it.

  • Politics: I'd like to say I'm left-wing, but a lot of left-wing parties tend to advocate for things like more rights and more financial/social security programs. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for those things, except these parties also tend to mysteriously gloss over how exactly they intend to accomplish these things without raising taxes- that stuff costs money, a lot of it. That's worrying, especially now we're at the point where it's painfully obvious stuff like pension will dry up well before my generation ever sees any benefit from it. I might like the goals of more liberal parties, but have almost always voted conservative, because at least they try to be more realist instead of idealist.

    That being said, I'm a Canada, so even our most right-wing parties are still pretty liberal in comparison to something like the States' Republican party.

  • Opinions: I'm pretty openminded, and am all for opinions. Hold whatever opinions you like, and if you can argue it, I'll respect you for it. Might even change my mind if you do a really great job of it. :p If you're the type of person who will write off another's opinion just because it differs from your own, or refuse to consider other perspectives even if a compelling argument is given, it's going to be much harder for us to get along.
How do I view the world?: show
I guess the simplest answer would be... I view Earth as a stepping stone in a cosmic sea.

There's a lot wrong with Earth, and there's not really any easy solution. We've pretty effectively damaged the atmosphere, and we're making great progress toward destroying the climate too. We've got ♥♥♥♥ tier resource management- three quarters of the world's population is living in poverty, and the remaining quarter is too blinded by our comfortable lifestyles to give a damn about it. The people in power prefer to play games with chess pieces that kill thousands and ruin the lives of millions more instead of collaborating. Any one of those things would be a Herculean task on its own, but together...

I'd like to think humanity is great, and that we'll wisen up, get our acts together, and realize that our first run of things here on Earth has been a disaster. We'll realize that unless we want to die on this planet in the span of a few hundred years, tops, we need to leave. That'll raise its own host of challenges, but spacefaring is definitely our future, if we're to have one.
What do I enjoy?: show
Hey a lighter question, nice. Alright, in no particular order:

  • Being alone
  • Reading, anything really, but sci-fi, fantasy, and textbooks are my personal faves
  • Writing
  • Biking, distance or just around town, I love going fast
  • Tinkering and inventing. I maintained my own local business for a while, taking custom requests and selling whatever I made
  • Rocketry
  • Vidyagaems
  • Science, 'nuff said
  • Art, never thought I'd get to say this, but I actually like making Minecraft textures and lately, dabbling in music too (thanks Harmless, you inspired me <3)
  • Singing, if you guessed this I will personally wire you $100. Must provide proof though :p
  • Learning stuff, I'm really not picky about what
  • Cooking
  • Peoplewatching/listening
  • "Mind mapping"- that is, keeping a journal, recording achievements, introspection to better understand oneself (Digital Immortality)
  • Steven Universe (I like to say I don't really do television/movies/youtube but I've made a few exceptions and enjoy a decent number of the things people recommend, be it anime, television series, whatever. SU is hands down my personal fave for about a billion reasons)
What do I value?: show
First and foremost, I value self-improvement. You could be the worst person imaginable but if you honestly want to improve, yo. I'm there for ya.

Next up would probably be logic, intellect, and independence. I enjoy the company of people who can think for themselves, and who do not shy away from complex issues.

Third would probably be the pursuit of knowledge, honesty/truth, and loyalty. Rationality is great and all but when it doesn't work, it's nice to have something to fall back on.

Finally, uniqueness in all forms.
What do I fear?: show
I have an intense fear of large volumes of "unnatural" water. Swimming pools, aquariums, fuuuuuuuck everything about that. Also, tiny spiders. Massive tarantulas are cool as hell but that little dime-sized, eight-legged ninja? I will douse it in peppermint oil till it stops moving and then burn the remains. Probably have more but I can't think of them at the moment.
What are my hopes and dreams?: show
I'd like to have a family, meet someone and settle down way out in the mountains somewhere. Build a house myself. Maybe have a little daughter of my own, I enjoy children. Judge me all you want, I don't give a ♥♥♥♥. :p

I'd like to continue tinkering with bigger and more impressive things... preferrably without burning said house in the mountains down. I feel like this one might not work out, hee. I'd like to build a rocket that can hit the moon, and after that, aim for something farther away.

I'd like a job I don't dread working every day, good friends to drink with on the weekend, and a quality internet connection.
Miscellaneous Information: show
I am lactose intolerant, have an allergy to pomegranites, and in fact do not want to take over the world at all, despite what some neighbors and friends seem to think.


It's a bit rough but it was done in like five-ish hours while watching anime night and playing Minecraft so I think it's acceptable considering.

Postby 1018peter » October 25th, 2015, 4:40 am

Sorry Ven but your spoiler format looks awesome so I'll be using it.
Who am I?: show
I am a 15-year old Taiwanese male. My name doesn't matter because there's like a thousand variations for my Romanized name.

I have black eyes,black hair and yellow skin. I'm about 175 centimeters tall (Might be taller now,who knows). I weight well over 60 kilograms,but I'm quite thin and have quite the capacity for food. I am heterosexual and cisgender. People call me bald but I'm really just shaving my hair often and to the extent of not having any other hairstyle.

I hate injustice with a flaming passion,whether it's fighting for my classmates' rights or my teachers' rights. I'm probably the only student in my whole school that respects teachers although some of them treat us like subhumans. I stutter a lot,even when reading a script.
What are my character flaws?: show
I see people around me as imbeciles that will never learn. Whenever they get scolded,I have to listen as well (Because that's how school works),and I'm so sick of the negativity I become sick of them.

I hate liars to an extent that I've actually become paranoid of lies. Whenever people talk to me,I feel like they might be lying. Whenever I see classmates friendlier to me,I think of the possibility that they might be talking bad things about me behind my back.

I have trust issues. I feel like if I split group work to my group members,they'll just not do it or make it half-baked. I have to do group works all by myself because I fear that if they don't do it people will look down on me as well.

I'm pessimistic to my works. When I hand out my art project,I know it's gonna end horribly. When I finish my performance in the Music class,I know people think my performance is horrid. When I submit a level to a LDC,I know it's not gonna place well.
My views on general matters: show
Religion: I'm an agnostic. However,I respect people's beliefs,even atheists who strongly believes the absence of a divine being. I generally take religion as a therapy to one's mind when it feels hopeless. I can see how having faith in gods keep people sane.
I do like to talk about the privileges of religions,such as various heavens and hells,or even spiritual ascension.

Sexuality/Gender Identity: I honestly don't care much about this matter. There's no point in changing them,just like how there's no point in calling a deer a horse.

Death: I believe that we are locked in the cycle of nature,and we may regain consciousness after centuries of cycles in nature. I take the idea of soul as an organic compound.

Life: I always look forward to the next day. If my body doesn't allow me to live to the next day,I'll still look forward to it,hoping the world becomes better and better.

Abortion: As I said in the part about Death,I take souls as organic compounds. If a baby is born due to the sins of another man (As in,rape and such),it shouldn't suffer through this part of the cycle and should be allowed to pass on and get another chance at being born in better conditions.

Execution: I support execution,because I know some people just won't change. If he wants to go on a mass murder,even jailing him for 30 years won't end his lusts for human blood. And besides,it's not a good deal risking others' lives just so a murderer can change.

Politics: A lot of political ideas could end up really well,but there are always manipulative men/women trying to seize power and money.

People would think the world is pretty good now with the United Nations bonding the world together,but I think otherwise. The world leaders of the UN are suppressing all countries' political advancement because they wish to bear the power permanently. Because of the suppression,third world countries are forever third world countries,and their people will suffer eternally.

Only if the world is made of evenly strong countries,the world will truly be at peace.

Opinions: I'm open to all ideas but I hate it when people shove their ideas down my throats or others' throats.
How do I view the world?: show
Earth,without intelligent lifeforms,is beautiful,and a sign of peace. With intelligent lifeforms,however,it becomes a hellish land bounded by the desires of humankind.

Humanity is horrible. We're about the same as how the mammals think: Survive and ensure the survival of your specie. We think ourselves as individual kinds,subspecies of the human race,and we only think of ourselves to ensure our bloodline becomes the strongest of all. Should we ever be unbounded by the mindset Mother Nature has given to us,we will truly be able to survive to the end of the Universe,as a whole.
What do I enjoy?: show
I enjoy peace (Mentally peaceful),creation,and gaming.
What do I value?: show
I value improvements. For each improvement we make,we advance further.
What do I fear?: show
I fear dramas (As in,arguments). When I see people flame each other,I can't stand it. I would leave the room and never come back if I have the choice.
What are my hopes and dreams?: show
I certainly wish to meet my soulmate,for she will be my mental support once my parents are gone.

I wish to take part in game designing,whether it's coding (If I ever learn the languages),sprite designing or even LDing. It's my biggest dream.
Miscellaneous Information: show
I like sour food with a bit of sweetness. People have watched me chew down lemon slices. However,I cannot eat rotten food.
Indefinite hiatus on Level Designing...
Upcoming Levels: show
Elix Lowland - Located within an untouched continent, this lowland has seawater gushing through its area, yet it never floods. The lowland's ecosystem becomes incredibly lively due to all the circumstances...

Re: Who are you?

Postby Supershroom » October 25th, 2015, 7:49 am

Kay so I guess I should also post here and describe myself so you may understand the reasons behind my former trouble-causing behaviour, why I wanted so much to become staff (and still would like to, kek) and some more. And lol I'm not using spoilers.

What am I like and why am I so difficult?

I had a troublesome childhood. My dad was such a huge egoist and sleeky person. Being quite antisocial since kindergarten, and on the other hand being blessed with quite a lot of intelligence, and you can easily imagine that this made me prone to bullying at school. Especially because I was two years younger than everyone else. I was also the absolute darling of all teachers, lol, and there were many incidences that I've booked as "injustice" and "one-sided bad treatment", and "the whole world being against me". In later years, I've gained more maturity and more self-control, but still, these experiences have influenced me forever. If I see something bad, I say it. If I meet injustice (and often enough, it's real injustice), I bridle against it. If you want a fight with me, I give you one. Still, I don't like conflict. I'm strident, but not quarrelsome. Often enough, I have goals that I'm willing to fight for until the bitter end. That's my biggest problem - I polarize everywhere I'm too much of a knight for justice and I can't let five be even, or let the church stay in the village that easily. On the good side, all these frustrations also formed me to a struggling nature who is not so easy to be taken down. I keep standing up again and again from bad situations and I feel like this is one of my biggest strength.

On this site, I've developped such a huge passion simply because the game and the designer absolutely fit my taste of what a game should be like (like Sonic Heroes) and aside the few drama that has there already been before me, there are just so many great things to see here and the general atmosphere is friendly like hardly anywhere else, the total opposite of an aggressive place of snobs like SMBX. But it could still be a tad more awesome and better organized. Problem was that this was the first freeforum I've went to without any forum or chat experience before, and suffering just from bad luck and frustrations that turned into drama, regularily fueling a cycle of doom (again, problem that I can't stand injustice). Things got better during the Runolympics, and that was when I've felt accepted enough to be ready on handling more responsibility and enforcing improvements. Being redlined from that because (and only because) of the bad past was a horrible frustration and so it turned into an unholy obsession. Especially when I was convinced that the same reasons they've repudiated me for, they've shown themselves and that formed a mismatch.

What does belong to my crappy mindset?

I used to be religious but that stopped with puberty, lawl. Kinda on the agnostic rail since then, though I am a hopeful person and believe that things turn out well in the end. Thinking of death occupies me here and then. Not thinking about afterlife and such, but just the thought of your lifetime on earth and on everywhere being limited, and everything ending sooner or later.

I'm not sexual at all right now, I don't need to be. For now I enjoy being single. Of course I enjoy tenderness but I don't like being hobnob. However, I'm somewhat emotional at times and I also express that. I support LGBTQ rights for the sake of freedom and tolerance.

I show disgust at smoking and swigging and traffic offending and anything that bullishly damages / endangers your health and others'. It goes even so far that I don't drink even a drop of alcohol, and also no coffee. I've grown up with applejuice and milk and that way it stays. 8) I also don't care about fashion and styles at all because associating coolness with a specific brand is a poor mindset IMO and it only pulls money out of your bags.

I've grown up vegetarian, and later I've started eating meet a little here and there, but I still keep it very limited. My mum is very nutrition-conscious and she passed down a lot of that to me.

I'm very home-connected, and rarely leave my perimeter. The administrative distinct of Karlsruhe is enough for me. I don't have to visit faraway countries to be happy. Generally I like staying in a familiar and well-known environment.

I'm fairly following the news, but as much as I'm engaged here, I'm not willing to be engaged in real politics - too much burocracy and ♥♥♥♥. I know that the youth of today should try to be less apathetic, but I simply don't feel like there are good circumstances for that. I can't help but politics is still strongly associated with war, capitalism, deplotion, corruption, hypocrisy, lying etc. for me. As much as I am strong at meeting decisions, that much I hate burocracy and complex structures.

What do I enjoy?

I've grown up with music. I have a strong bond to music, it helped me through many hard times. I like to sing, though for some reason I kinda hide my voice, I'm not needing to be in the spotlight. I enjoy it for myself. I've also played piano for quite some time, though eventually later I gave it up for other stuff and because of lacking technical skills. I've also grown up with chess, though I've dropped that as well as soon as I've found Petanque, the ideal thing for a competitive but not-so-athletic guy like me - fresh air, nice people, and action.

For TV, I like many kinds of entertainment shows with a certain standard (e.g. quizzes and game shows), and I'm also interested at watching sports (my favourites being darts, snooker and skijumping, and also football interest of course). I don't have any interest at anime or series like Steven Universe and also RL series like How I Met Your Mother. At school, I didn't like German and the social-science subjects (except geography), and I also didn't like biology, but I loved mathematics, chemistry and Latin.

What are my hopes for the future?

Since math is my biggest strength, I want it to be my livelihood. I want to do research on my own (preferably for Algebra), and if things go well, have a professorship. Though I'm such a withdrawn guy, I want to start a family one day and have kids to let my personality and my passion live on beyond death and not disappear. When I have more time and a secure place in life, I also wish to restart chess and do more music by myself again. And for this site, no joke, there are so many nice things to come that I want to be part of, eventually also becoming staff.

1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

No offense shroom but if you are really that conscious of your health milk is not the best thing to drink. :P

Too much fat and cholesterol and all that jazz

also it appears Ven's format is amazing so I'll probably use that and add more details to my post
Expect something cool here soon!

I drink milk everyday, it's part of the healthy eating pyramid for a reason.

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

Yeah, I went ahead and did that with my post as well. It doesn't take up a lot of space, so that's good.

Well it's more or less about having a balanced diet, milk is a great source of calcium and the fat content is not going to hurt you unless you eat lots and lots of other fatty foods on top of it. (and semi-skimmed exists for a reason ;P)

Congrats on going off-topic. I've wanted people to understand me better as a whole and instead you're talking about something dumb like nutrition. :C

Me and my family try to be the right middle between total carelessness and insane fetishism. We're buying higher-quality food from ecological cultivation and from the region if possible (thank god we're able to afford that), and we're trying to have a varieted cooking with sufficient vegetables / fruits and enough protein. But we're not those who read the packagings up to every ♥♥♥♥ detail and especially we think nothing about spread misapprehensions like "diet". Small sins like some cake or chocolate are fairly ok.

Thank you, FF.
