I was thinking about how many lawyers we have here now - and how many are relatively recent graduates. It occurred to me that there are probably a few who were influenced by The Cabal(tm) here on Languish to consider law school. I know there are a few who were influenced by other Languishites to move to Asia to teach, and even a few who went back to school for other things due to some discussions here.
In the nearly nine years that I've been on Languish, I know that it's influenced me in a number of ways. I rarely take headlines to heart anymore (though I still have my moments), and even some news articles have to be fact-checked before I take what they say as some semblence of truth. I am looking at a new career that I learned about here, and I have a better idea of how to be better at the job than the average person by listening to what you all have said about it.
What about you? How has Languished influenced you in the time that you've been here.
I was always incredibly petty and vain, but now I am also resentful and bitter.
Not just Languish, but all forums: I have given up on debating on the internet.

This. Though I think I've mellowed out a fair bit.
I think the main effect it's had on me is that I've spent time goofing off here that could have been spent more productively--if you consider playing EU 2 and later EU3 as "more productive". :)
It has exposed me to a wider range of confrontation and antagonism.

As for how languish influenced me personally? I'm much more up to date in current events than I would have been without it. Beyond that I'm not sure. I've been in the community in one way or another since I was 17 or something, so it's hard to gauge what I would have become without the corrupting influence :D

All dogfights start high and fast, and wind up low and slow. The secret is knowing when to apply your air brakes and letting Jester go by. And you shoot him in the ass anyway, damn the 10,000 ft deck limit.
I'd rather watch Andromeda than B5. Or a test pattern.

Though I'm holding out for Money to come visit Blighty and sweep Brazen off her feet, before her ill-advised fitness programme does that permanently. :bowler:
About as likely as Garbon marrying Marty.
The UK is much closer than Poland...and well isn't Poland.
Wasn't that cheap. <_<

BTW, we have had a Languish wedding, it just happened while both parties were away from the forum and one of them hasn't returned. :hmm:
To qualify for that status both parties would have to have met here, afaik Sav and CB knew each other before Languish ? :unsure:
Yes, of course, IIRC Meri posted her before she and Max were married as well.
Didn't KAP hook up with someone he met on KAPLand? :unsure:

Though I think given the lack of women here, it may be wiser to bet on a gay marriage. :)

He did. someone people trolled on a support forum of some kind who then followed them back to KAPland. she was here for a little bit too.
Let me rephrase: anyone rich want to gay marry me?
I doubt it. If you were rich, why would you choose to be gay?

Not at all, really, now that I think about it. I mean, I eyeball the board when I'm at work and so ignore people and probably damage relationships/don't perform as well as I should there, but nothing really important.

That would have been me, trolling the enotalone forums. The one and only time I did some trolling and it ended up with someone getting laid.
As for languish influencing me? Not really, too much of a lurker.

Yes, I'm surprised so many of the young Languideshians went to law school; the forum lawyers' jobs sound like long hours without much fun.
(Not that I blame anyone for deciding against engineering after reading my posts.)
I'm also much, much more aware of the issue of Flemish separatism than I was when I first joined Paradox.

Back around the winter of '03-'04, I remember trying to make some pretty tangential and inoffensive point about WWI, and having Grumbler tear into me in such a disproportionately mean-spirited fashion and push my buttons so badly that when I went out for a nice pizza dinner in the middle of our debate, I had so much adrenaline pumping and was so preoccupied with our argument that I could not enjoy my meal at all.
Thus was I inducted into this esteemed fraternal order... :sleep:
That happens when you are wrong on the internet. :P
Quote from: Ed Anger on September 14, 2013, 07:48:22 AM
Assholes here don't know how to handle Grumbler. When he starts, don't respond. Let him get it out of his system.
When things return to normal, insult Babylon 5.

Nah. I'd met him in person a couple of weeks before I came to Languish. I was asking for advice for when he came down to Chicago, which was a month or two later. :)

I think that the Languish discussion and debates on issues, political and current events, has made me more informed. We see issues from different sides, whether political or not, which gives a more well rounded view. The same also for the non-political stuff too, other discussions that go on.
