Streamjumper RaeRae Rave My grandma got out of the hospital... and ended up back there three days later for a blood clot gonk In other news, I finally decided that, seeing as I pay $40,000 a year for tuition, the dining room can afford to give me a bottle of ketchup. So I ninja'd an unopened one away ninja Wow. I paid half what you are, yet I and my roomies lived quite well on what we regularly swiped from the dining room. ... I feel much less guilty.

Daihouou Phoenix Goliathane I actually do think that a short quiz on important aspects of the rules and guidelines would be an extremely good idea. But...on the other hand, how much can Gaia do for its users? It goes above and beyond the Internet standard in warning users about account safety. It can't prevent stupidity, which - seemingly - runs in Clementine's family. (Seriously. How does her sister still have her account, if she's used Gaia for a year and doesn't know s**t about their guidelines to NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD?) That said: I don't blame Bluebird for blowing this out of proportion. On the contrary, I think it's her mother's responsibility; I know if I were in Bluebird's position (i.e., I was 13 and dumb again), I'd probably just want it to go away. I think that really, it's mostly a case of an overzealous mother going to a blogger to get her way and a couple of terminally retarded teenagers. "Never Arrange Meetings with Strangers" ... oops. That's how I met Zero xp

Bowls, salad plates, dinner plates, breakfast plates (those oblong plates you get a lot of the breakfast items on), two carafes, juice cups, coffee cups, soda glasses, flatware, etc. We even had menus, just for shits and giggles.

That's how I met Zero xp It would probably be more accurate to say "Don't arrange meetings with strangers in private" but probably safer and simpler for Gaia just to leave it that way. The safety tips are good but they're not something someone is likely to run into during everyday browsing like the big red ignorable messages are.

Holy s**t, Stream. You impress me.
Phoe...well, it wasn't my intention to antagonize Gaia's account safety efforts. sweatdrop I just parroted something that Tweedle said earlier, which might be a suggestion to reinforce security.
But, on the other hand, it's not like you can do much more to reinforce web security at every tun than Gaia has. They tell users whenever they do nearly anything what not to do.

Of course, I'd talked to his mother on the phone, requested pictures of him and his family, and insisted on meeting in the airport, where it wouldn't be too late to turn around and go home safely.

Nature is amazing. 3nodding Edit: I wonder how long the researchers and camera crew had to hang around until that happened. How do you know a slug is going to start mating? How often do they get it on?
But srsly. Slugs are neato. heart

But can Gaia hire a team of people to show up when someone signs up and put a gun to their head until they read this page?
