Note: the forum’s profile functions do NOT handle Cyrillic well here.

Yep, most of the profile only takes ASCII. Tried to put Chinese in there once and failed.

I tried to put “rootless cosmopolitan” in my signature and the website got angry with me.

EDIT: welp nevermind the mods are on the ball evidently a quick report is all that's necessary

Hey, at least it allows accents. Used to have to go to the Old User CP, and it'd wipe your signature if you forgot to do that.

Speaking of which, you could try using the Old User CP and see if that works.

here's a part of the story i'm writing for my college creative writing class

The Noble Stone
      “Many Kings has Constantin Mac Aeda lost this day, my king” said Edward Fairfax, “as has Olaf Guthfrithson lost many warriors.”
     “aye, my friend, but this battle has been costly on us as well” King Æthelstan, former king of the Anglo-Saxons and current king of the English, was weary of battle, looked to his friend of many years, “but we have secured the future of Briton” The battle was hard fought, but Constantin Mac Aeda and his Norse allies had been routed in a grand battle that historians would later call one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon battles in history.

Since this is for study I'm a bit leery of giving advice. Try reading your sentences out loud. The longer your sentence is, the more it risks being confusing.

I went ahead and bought some tea and got hooked again. I missed drinking tea.

So tomorrow I'm going to go get myself a nice little teapot and green and white teas. I've already got the rooibos and the darjeeling covered!

Coincidentally we're discussing tea and coffee in TRR right now. I like coffee but the caffeine is bad for someone with my condition so I drink decaf tea.

Not a fan of Coffee or Tea. Prefer soda.

What is it my fellow Wintreans do when they consider the bleak nature of our existence? How do you cope with the probability that nothing you do really matters? Do you find comfort in the very thought?

Also, what is it that non-South Africans think of Rooibos tea? It's way expensive over there where you all live, so why is it worth it?

I think that if nothing I do matters, I should do my best to make myself happy while I'm around. Living as if I do make a mark makes me happy. Therefore, I will continue to do so.
And then I get back to the philosophy reading that made me start pondering my existence again.

I don't think I've heard of Rooibos tea. I'm not a fan of tea in general, however, so I might not even enjoy it for the price.

I generally only have Chinese teas.

Tea is amazing. I drink usually more than one cup a day. I hope I don't start drinking coffee, seems like everyone just gets addicted, and it ends up being a drain on their money.

Edit: Rooibos tea is great, and it's not expensive, or maybe I just drink the really shitty stuff and don't know what I'm talking about.

Never really bothered with different blends. Whatever lipton packages in the box is what I've had my whole life.
