Dear Tom. Thank you for finally making it so that we can set our newsposts at an age rating which a user must be logged in and a specific legal age to view in their profile. There are obviously specific age requirements by law. I feel this newspost should be rated E for everyone so that everyone is familiar that there are laws in life and there should be on the internet as well.

Hello everyone. With one my speeches being deleted without any reason given, I thought I would start posting these in text form in a newspost. (2/2)

The final final vocal project

You know, if theres one thing I've noticed in differences between many parts of Europe and the US -It's the way people think of alcohol. In the US alcohol is strictly not allowed until age 21, and this is great, however certain traditions in the US prevent it from reaching its full potential. Unlike in Europe, where at a young person's birthday, they may be given a small glass of wine, with food to prevent them from getting drunk, and possibly some water as well, in the US most people drink when they turn 21, except they don't drink in normal amounts, because they have never seen it before, in fact it is custom to give a young person a glass of champagne at a celebration [In Europe]. And why not? They're with family and they are in the comfort and safety of their apartment during that time. People in the US, while still young but over 21 have never seen alcohol before, so they think to themselves that they need to drink as much as possible at one single time, leading to an overdose or even death. There are mostly younger people who die of alcohol poisoning in the US by statistics. This is obviously a problem. For a 21 year old to think that they need to drink as much as possible as soon as they are able to. You know that that's stupid right? I guess young people in the US, who drink at a celebration [when they are over 21], because they have not had a small glass of wine or a beer or something early on, in a social environment, fully trust people who they do not know very well, at a bar, or a party, and they are taking a major risk. European people, while in new company or company of colleagues usually have a three drink maximum. It's simply an accepted tradition, but people in the US learn about alcohol at an age that is far too late for them to be aware of the consequences of drinking irresponsibly, and environments which are okay to drink in, along with environments which are really not. You don't have any experience here, so you end up doing bad things for your well being, without traditions......

The world's most awesome script

A family are shopping at a large store for food. The father decides to open a bag of mixed nuts and sample them, and then they pass by while with their cart after he grabs a handful... he eventually loops back and takes another sample from the now open bag of nuts.

The son interrupts after his dad says they are free samples by saying "I don't think the same principles apply." He ignores him and then moves on with the cart and then grabs and opens a toblerone bar, which he is eating on the way around the store to finish the grocery list. The manager and an employee are walking towards them and ask them "did you open this bag of mixed nuts." The manager pauses, the father answers "No, it was open already, I just took a free sample." The manager says "What about the toblerone?" The father says he opened the toblerone because there is no way to deny it. The manager asks "Are you planning on buying it?" The father answers "I'm just trying free samples." We finished our shopping list, but maybe next time, we'll buy it. We don't know. We will see. The manager says "Since you opened the toblerone, you need to buy the toblerone." The father says he will buy it, but that the store should treat the customers better at checkout. They drive home. Fin.

Old Language Related Memories

Jokes aside, I thought I would update this...

A long time ago, when I was much younger and still learning language, I fell in love with someone who will not be named for legal reasons. Anyway, we were traveling to Bulgaria and after the plane flight, my mother spoke to my aunt saying "He fell in love with a typical French woman." I immediately said "How can you call her a typical French woman? She's the most wonderful French woman in the entire world! There was a part to this I didn't say it out loud but thought to myself when hearing the word typical. I tried to imagine it in the positive side and wondered... Does ... that ... mean ... that ... all ... French ... Women ... are like... ... ...*

I guess the pauses between each word I said to myself were out of joy. It wasn't love at this point, it was Awe. Because if the person I fell in love with is a typical French woman, then all or at least the majority of French women would be similar to her. I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement at this point, because even if we couldn't be in a relationship when I am older, I could date almost any other French woman there is.

Beans Speech Remade

You know, I'm going to share something that will completely change the way you think about spending money. A long while ago, when I was a child, food was less abundant in Bulgaria, so I had an ingenious idea -That we would buy the least expensive food, which was beans at the time, costing about 60 cents a bag. Many other people thought this way, so we were able to feed ourselves. We made it. It took hours to cook and the stoves in Europe run on electricity instead of gas, which by the way, happens to be less expensive than electricity, so in reality it was the most expensive food, because of the amount of fuel used during the time required to cook it. Bulgaria is not a very rich country, so we spend resources where we have the most of them. The effort required to do something uses a combination of resources, usually 3 or more. Time is a constant, labor is the second constant, and the third resource and onward varies depending on what a person is trying to do. A bit of backstory that helps highlight the situation to Bulgaria's financial poverty... After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many countries returned to Capitalism, of course, when something is newer, people don't know how to think, because they aren't used to it, they need more time to catch up to something older, so any change is negative at first, especially an entire political system. For a while, there were very few business owners, previously all businesses were Government owned, there were no rich people to make their own business, it was chaos. This lasted for a while, although I was born a bit later. Anyway, the last words I want to leave you with is that theres more factors to economics than just supply and demand, and you have to take all them into account when making financial decisions. And the grand finale? -If everyone brought the cheapest healthy food available, no I don't mean chips and the like, then it would eventually become the most expensive food, and then move on to the next. So theres really a lot of things to think about from these examples. P.S. Although, from experimentation, which I remembered recently, you can soak beans in water overnight and then they only take half an hour to cook. If I recall correctly, I wondered what would happen if we leave them in water for a while before cooking them, and asked my dad. He said to put water on a sponge which we had used for cleaning, the sponge absorbed the water. While I was holding it in my hand I replied "I'm not sure if this would take longer to cook or shorter [by which I meant if the beans were soaked with water while comparing them to the sponge in my hand.] He replied that it was a good idea, and we tried. The only negative thing is that they tasted a bit less good than before, but it saved a lot of effort cooking them... [Realistically, if I were to cook beans or even something which requires a shorter soak in water, like lentils, I would most definitely do it in both Bulgaria and the US. Here because the stoves run on natural gas, which is a non-renewable resource, and pollutes by creating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when lit. This way the food would cook in 1/4th the time, so it would pollute less if a lot of people in the US did this.

Real Caffeine is Bitter

You know, in the past I've drank tea and coffee, although in Europe it is generally served in small cups. I remember many times when I have traveled, I would always pick tea, occasionally coffee, on the plane, or in the airport. It made sense, as I'm young it would of benefit to boost my energy and thought process, because I still have a lot to learn about the world, and street smarts to gain. I should be awake to best observe the way people talk to each other and socialize, etc. etc.

Anyway, from many, momentary, experiences with small cups of coffees and teas I have come to the conclusion, which is partly based on a story about wine in Bulgaria, that is in regards to coffee, which is as follows: Caffiene is a drink of time, as in it gives you time, or rather, more time, to stay awake and to gain experience in life, and in a way, real coffee or tea is bitter, just like the passing of time, and strong like a life well lived; I will not allow myself sweetened coffee or tea, so I know what to expect moving forward.

My first Encounter with a Wasp

A long time ago, in Bulgaria, somewhere around age 4, I was walking outside with my mother from grocery shopping. I saw a wasp for the first time, and was quite annoyed by it, even though it was calmly flying around, it might sting me, as there have been stories on TV of that happening in Bulgaria. Anyway, I grabbed it, to my mother's surprise, and then rubbed its stinger on the pavement until it tore apart to pieces followed by stepping on it, in order to safely remove the chance of being stung. My mother looked at me funny. I replied "I don't like these... they should be exterminated. Although the big ones [bees] are more dangerous [to people]. I added "You have to catch them slowly, by the sides of their bodies [so that they can't harm you by stinging you,] not in the way that you would move your arm slowly and then quickly, similar to the way you would squish a mosquito. Slow movement the entire time." I then added. "The larger ones are heavier so they have more powerful wings and could escape my small two fingers because of their size." That was the first and only time I killed a wasp. My mother told me that it is dangerous to do so, and best to ignore them. In a way, I still think wasps and even bees should be exterminated, they are the only nuisance that still bothers people in cities and too many stings can kill a person. Based on how aggressive the queen is, that determines the mood of the whole colony, and can create killer-bees/wasps. God-Forbid if flowers were not pollinated (sarcasm), and the majority of people prefer sugar over honey anyway. Thoughts?

P.S. It's understandable that this speech may throw some of you off at first, but think of it this way: If an insect, such as a spider that you know is poisonous is on the wall of your apartment, wouldn't you squish it before it has the chance to bite you and kill you, even if it is docile at the moment.

If a country had gold but no food.

If a country had gold but no food, what would you do? I remember a long time ago when I was four years old and my father asked me this, to which I replied that I would trade gold for food. It seems like a simple question, trading money for sustenance but is actually a more complex question as I understood it. The whole thought process written out in text form behind the question is as follows: If you were in charge of a country that had gold, but for some reason, drought or other, did not have enough food during a harvesting season, would you trade gold bars from the treasury for food from another country, while keeping in mind that if you do so, then you would be able to print less money, because a country can print only as much money as the amount of gold [bars] in its treasury without causing inflation at any given time. I guess it would make the country poorer but would feed the country when it doesn't have enough food, so I said that I would trade. He passed away recently but would probably like to be remembered through this question and my reply to it. I guess this explains a bit about Europe, in a way. You see, in Europe we speak very little, or write very little, but discuss multitudes through our speech and writing. And besides, if another country were to trade food, past its surplus, it would need an incentive to do so, because food would be more expensive in that country temporarily due to there being less of it during a season.

Si un país tuviera oro pero no comida ... (MajoraCats)

Si un país tuviera oro pero no comida, ¿Qué harías? Recuerdo hace mucho tiempo cuando tenía cuatro años y mi padre me preguntó esto, a lo que le respondí que cambiaría oro por comida. Pregunta simple, intercambiar dinero por sustento, pero en realidad es una pregunta más compleja tal como la entendí. Todo el proceso de pensamiento escrito en forma de texto detrás de la pregunta es el siguiente: si estuvieras a cargo de un país que tiene oro, pero por algunos razón, por sequía u otra, no tiene suficiente comida durante la temporada de cosecha, ¿cambiaría lingotes de oro de su tesoro por comida de otro país, teniendo en cuenta que si lo haces, entonces podrías imprimir menos dinero? porque un país solo puede imprimir tanto dinero como la cantidad de [barras] de oro en su tesorería sin causar inflación en un momento dado. Supongo que haría al país más pobre pero lo alimentaría cuando no tenga suficiente comida, así que le dije que lo cambiaría. Falleció recientemente, pero probablemente me gustaría que me recordaran a través de esta pregunta y mi respuesta. Supongo que esto explica un poco sobre Europa, de alguna manera. Verán, en Europa hablamos muy poco o escribimos muy poco, pero discutimos en multitudes a través de nuestro discurso y escritura. Y además, si otro país comercializara alimentos, más allá de su excedente, necesitaría un incentivo para hacerlo, porque los alimentos serían más caros en ese país temporalmente debido a que hay menos durante una temporada

Kindergarten Speech (Redone)

In Kindergarten on the fourth day I was there, we had time in the fenced playground around the building. I was about to go and play with some other kids but I wanted some... particular toy, but they gave me another so I didn't want to play -at all-. The kids went somewhere else while I got mad and started yelling. The adults let me blow off some steam by myself. Eventually I got sweaty and then a breeze came, by nap time I had a high fever and I felt so sick that I ran home. No one saw me, I was sort of like a ninja. My grandma was surprised when I showed up on the doorstep. But I didn't mention anything about just deciding to leave. While I lay in bed in another room, my grandma's friend, mother of one of the teachers, got a call from her daughter, and she came over and rang our doorbell. "Your son left school." Said Laura, who was the mother of the teacher. My grandmother replied "Yes, of course, I know, he's here." When she'd seen me with my fever, she just assumed they had let me go home early, because she's a doctor, and they're just teachers! Laura called her daughter's cellphone and relieved her of any concerns she could have about my mysterious absence. A few hours later, everyone figured out what had happened and we all had a great laugh! I was filled with joy to see my family earlier that day as well. And I got to bask in the glory of the unofficially early end of kindergarten for the day due to my "ninja talents." For the rest of the day I just played and talked with other kids in the building... while remaining... fully... supervised. My family decided it was time to stop going to kindergarten until regular, real school starts, as in Europe it is optional, I'm not sure about the US though... They don't really teach you anything in it anyway, it's basically a daycare.

PrincessPubert's Debut

Belthagor's Voice: "Hello everyone! I am looking for a voice actor"

PrincessPubert: "I'll do it."

Belthagor: "Okay but first you need to express how much you like working for me."

PrincessPubert: "uhh."

Belthagor: "Here's your line."

*Pause*

Belthagor: "Say it."

PrincessPubert: "My name is PrincessPubert and I like...

*belthagor interupts: "LOVE"

PrincessPubert: "...Love... my job as a voice actor for belthagor"

PrincessPubert begins laughing nervously in disbelief at this statement she just said

Belthagor: "Say it... say it again."

PrincessPubert: "MY NAME IS PRINCESSPUBERT AND I... (Vomits mildly inside mouth and swallows it) ..."LOVE MY JOB AS A VOICE ACTOR FOR BELTHAGOR!!!!"

Belthagor: "Good."

Belthagor: "You've got the job."

In regards to people who fear the way of human progress...

I thought I'd explain something about a previous speech I made before the world goes blind. To quote it "Potential improvements being taken away in society over and over, it's really a form of justice." It seems like a cruel thing to say, but if you think deeper, it's truly a kind thing to say. A long time ago Charlie Chaplin mentioned something about people who fear the way of human progress, by which he meant that if cruelty continues on earth, there would be no progress. Well, let me play devils advocate: A lack of progress would lead to a lot of problems on earth, so people would be forced to rise above those problems, which would force them to act nicer in society. [Sigh... once again assuming it'd be obvious yet requiring explanation. People would be forced to act nicer in order to fuel the intellect of other, younger people to its maturity.] So in reality, decay, and lack of progress, is the greatest thing that can happen, so long it is in area where people in power are forced to do things like provide greater rights for people, and change entire laws, in order to make society better, and solve that decay from continuing in vital areas. Though I doubt this will get anywhere. In 2106 the earth was so hot that governments banned the use of air conditioning in order to cool it a bit. It was unbearable except during winter. This lasted six years and then the earth cooled down a bit. There were still air conditioners in vital places such as hospitals. Fans were still allowed, however the only way we were able to think of how to reverse global warming was by using less energy, so realistically, I may not have won in my counter arguement, Charlie. That eventually, through a lack of progress, cruelty will end permanently. [Except I actually won completely... because everyone adored you, while ignoring or disliking my viewpoint on this, which lead to a balance between good and horrible periods of time, continuing both things, instead of removing horrible periods of time, permanently. (To explain.)] So we, in reality, require a lack of progress, for our own well-being and calmness. [Which will then lead to a utopia with continuing progress.]

Look away from the screen, I'm embarrassing us.

In case you seriously don't like my speech the way it is composed...

and would prefer I don't present it in front of you.

Belthagor's 67th Speech:

I refuse to eat food if a woman burned her hand cooking it.

68'th:

One summer we were going on vacation to Europe for break from school. We arrived in the Airport and took our first flight, we had a connecting flight, you see. There was a dog that was sniffing for inappropriate things among people's personal carry on luggage. The dog and his owner, an officer, came over to our luggage per policy, while walking through the airport. The dog was upset, because it was a fairly large dog, and most people were afraid of it, even though they were not carrying anything illegal, most security dogs are tiny, you see. They were nervous because it might bite, and many people have a natural fear of dogs. I was young and decided to pet the dog when its owner walked near us, which boosted its mood. It licked my mother's purse. The officer continued filling his quota, and upon finishing came over to thank us for cheering his dog up. He talked for a short while and said "You know my dog has really been feeling down lately, because everyone is cautious around it. Thank you so much." My mother smiled and we continued onward to Europe on our connecting flight.

Speech Project

When you have children... In the case that you decide to have children after you finish college, find a job, and get married... Why would you hit them? You want them being "The Boss" later on. C. E. O. -of the company. Why would you want them being... submissive? ... My topic is child abuse by the way.

A child doesn't know what it's doing. It's brain isn't fully grown (formed) yet. We mature, yes our brains mature, until were twenty five, which is when our cells start replicating slower and we start dying. Child Abuse doesn't happen in the animal kingdom. Wolves don't do it. Everything seems to work out fine. God, all your accomplishments, and you still have children: who are unsure of how to think for themselves, so they copy the previous generations' way of thinking which leads to complete destruction, of any hope for evolution in society. The older generation's way of thinking was fine... for their time. We need new thinkers. When something is newer, other people don't know how to think, so they're thinking about it, and making new things... unlike old things which no one thinks about anymore. Do you like my speech so far? If I've influenced you, then I've influenced all the people that you'll influence in your lifetime... and so on.

Speech Project 2 (Midori's Take)

In the beginning... everyone was alone... Then we were Tribes... Villages... Countries... Allied Countries... Eventually we would logically be under a "World Government." ...

We would have Free Citizenship to all countries... You could go on vacation or live anywhere without applying for a visa and waiting years for a passport after...

There would be no wars...

Although there would still be social classes and differences... money would be shared among a larger population. It would be in Government's interest to invest money in poorer countries that need it more than others...

It's not a bad thing...

What are some other benefits to this that you can think of?

How to thwart scammers (Midori's Take)

Information Technology 101: If anyone has the occasional problem of a website with an enter password screen popping up... here's how to solve it.

Step 1: End Task Firefox or whatever you use, like chrome, edge, or opera.

Step 2: Unplug your modem and reopen firefox. Which unsurprisingly goes back to the same window. At this time, due to there being no internet connection, the scam site can't load and there is no password screen in front of it blocking you off from going on another site. Step 3: Go to another site and plug the internet back on. There you have it. You're welcome and thanks for viewing this information technology guide.

Apples

Scenario-The year is 2020. The network has run out of ideas for cartoon episodes, and are looking for any material to animate. You have come up with a script you desperately are trying to pitch for the network. Try to voice act as if you are this person, working for a company, sharing their idea, hoping it will come to life in an animated episode of a cartoon series and air on TV.

The scenario also has a narrator behind it, let's call him John, explaining how our company idea-guy feels during what he is saying by constantly interupting him with an explanation. You, the voice actor, can use John's description as a way to voice the writer. Let's call him Fred to avoid confusion. But also can voice act John's parts if you choose to make it more difficult to do.

""Okay so you guys know how an apple a day keeps the doctor away?"

Narrarator's Line (Yes I expect you to voice act these too.)

---"The cartoon writer is saying this part as they are trying to connect with the TV producers/animators by sharing something the company bosses have heard before. The writer continues speaking."

"A doctor is going grocery shopping for his family after work, and he accidentally buys apples instead of pears, and then his wife makes apple soup and they're eating the apple soup for dinner and then he starts fading and the family is like "NOOOO" and"

Narrarator continues describing the situation:

---"As our protagonist says this, they do not lower their voice, but take miniature semi-pauses between the words, that increase in time as they speak, as if realizing the ridiculousness of the entire idea they have written down, yet boldly going, where no Writer of cartoon scripts has gone before, by proudly continuing to speak. They vocalize forward, like a brave virgin white knight!" 

"...then he returns the next morning only to find his daughter smoking a ground up apple in her room."

Narrarator's Part

---"Our writer has just a clever way to promote an anti-drug message, and they expect what they say next to be said in the cartoon they are describing by one of the characters."

"Stay above the influence kids."

Narrator interupts once again.

---"The protagonist says in a very-Serious-and-Sure-of-himself Tone.

"And then it starts raining apples outside the window of the house. -fade out-"

Narrator.

---"They Said in a voice as if they just made this part up as a way to wrap up the whole thing.""

Note from Belthagor:

Hello viewers!

I know, the script is a bit weird, but the masterpiece is that it pushes the limits for what a voice actor can do, and provides a suitable vocal exercise. A learning experience...

If you would like to learn how to make your own apple soup, there are plenty of recipes on the internet. Long Live Scandinavia for bringing the original recipe to the world!

Speech Project 3 (Midori's Take)

Okay so... when I was in school we had to take either midterms, finals, or some kind of important exam. Coincidentally, on the same day there were visitors at our school with very young kids. One of the younglings had wandered off while some of my friends and I were in the hallway speaking because we had some free time after finishing our exam. This was in front of a room where other students were taking a math final. The kid wanted a balloon, at least I think so because that was mainly one of the very few words he said. So a colleague of mine says "hey kid, you want ... lots of balloons? They have ONE HUNDRED BALLOONS in that room" and then he pointed to the room with a sign that said Math Finals: Do not disturb, on the door. To our surprise, the bold kid burst into the room and said "BAHLOON?" And we all laughed, while our Professor looked over in horror. And that is the story of how everyone else and I got detention. The end.

Beans

For a while there were very few business owners, previously all businesses were Government owned, there were no rich people to make their own business, it was chaos. This lasted for a while, although I was born a bit later. Anyway, the last words I want to leave you with is that theres more factors to economics than just supply and demand, and you have to take all of them into account when making financial decisions. And the grand finale? -If everyone brought the cheapest healthy food available, no I don't mean chips and the like, then it would eventually become the most expensive food, and then move on to the next. So theres really a lot of things to think about from these examples."

edit: [Although, from experimentation, which I remembered recently, you can soak beans in water overnight and then they only take 30 minutes to cook, which is a small half hour.]

Speech Project -Lost Track Which Number

You know, I'm going to share something with you that will completely change the way you think about politics. A politicians dilemma is not in their finances so much as in their opinions. In fact, there is no politician that will directly share their opinion. They share their opinions through their underlings. Then the people under who are handling the backlash towards themselves instead of, for example, a candidate for president of a country. report back saying "People like this, people don't like that." The politician then thinks to themselves, "ah I need to change the way I say this" when addressing the voters/groups of people they are targeting for votes. If you think about it, this is rather clever. If I were famous... how would I share my ideas? -I would do it through other people, to see how the public thinks." I don't want to say any more... *laughs nervously* ... (Fine, because the majority of people might be swines who like to cause problems in my life.) (Keeping in mind majority doesn't mean everyone.)

Business Speech

I'm going to teach you something that will completely change the way you think about business. Regardless of the industry, there can be major changes that allow for more profit, or less spending on a product. You would most likely have to decide between one, what you want to accomplish, and what you think will be most profitable choice to make. One major industry where this is prominent would be the gaming industry, and I guess the software industry in general. As computers and other technologies improve with time, becoming faster and faster, an existing game or computer program company must decide: Does it want to invest money into improving features, adding better graphics in their game or more content, all of which potentially raises the specs required for cpu, graphics card, memory. Or would it like to avoid investing some of the money it has made, and instead go into the casual market. When checkers was first invented, people played it professionally and competitively, it was more difficult to make a board and the pieces than when new technologies came out and it became a casual game, to a less dedicated but larger market. Some gamers stick to one or two games, some move on to the newest ones available and review them or something, losing interested in older ones. Some enjoy classics that were ahead of their time, archeic games that are difficult to find, that existed before the internet, and had no way of gaining popularity, as an attempt to look at history. Most play casually and even underclock their cpu to increase their computer's lifespan, which has worked tremedously well at preserving a computer that worked well for 10 years before it broke due to a stupid reason. As for other computer programs, they become older and older, computers become stronger, and we see, for example teenagers using programs that make 3d models. That previously only professionals used in their careers. Think about it.

Speech about Youtube

Theres one thing I really like about newgrounds. Newgrounds allows many content creators to team up, including musicians. A lot of musical artists these days keep strict rights on their music, you see youtube, multiple times, remove videos just because they used music in them. What these artists don't realize is that when someone makes a video, an animation, informational video, instructional video, or even just gameplay footage, and wants to use a popular song, everyone wins. Their viewer see your song, some of which may not have heard it, used in a new way, a new theme for it. The content creator is essentially making a music video that features your song and provides for a new way to interpret it. Collabing this way helps both people, maybe the other person knows how to do something that you are unable to. By mixing two creations, a larger audience views them. People have varying interest and it may be a way to display your music to people who have a different interest or hobby they are excited about... When music is used in a video, certain moments can highlight things in the music that have never been thought of before or noticed before. So more musicians should allow people, especially people who work hard on their content, to use their songs in their stuff. Thoughts?

And when I try to flirt... They think I'm being rude.] Get this valueable collection for a limited time only!

Belthagor talks about stuff (Midori's edit)

You know, if there’s something I've learned from video games and technical stuff, it's that they overload your cpu. Would you use up one or two more degrees increase in cpu to record a session? Maybe, but you'd get much more out of it like footage you can upload somewhere. I personally play games to entertain people, and I think other people are just wasting time not doing anything productive. A lot of people, when I explain it, say things like "Oh I have no idea you felt that way." As time passes you grow up, go to school, and get a career. At first you are afraid of spending, but then you start to make money through your first career. You spend more, you get more experience, you get paid more, and you get less and less afraid of spending and investing in things. I think my gaming hobby being turned into something meaningful reflects on the beginnings of what to do to be more successful in life. Make sure some of the things you do have benefit, both to yourself and other people, to entertain, to inspire, and find new mechanics in game or in real life. If you were buying a house, the majority of that cost is the land, not the materials, or the wiring of the house, or the labor for engineering and architecting it. Wouldn't you spend an extra small amount percent wise to buy a house that lasts much longer? Or isn't too hot in the summer? I think a lot of people don't make investments in places where they should, penny pinching in places where you could get much more bang for your buck. You save money, but it shortens your life. You commit to a hobby, but you don't gain anything out of it, if at least memories which will last a long time after you pass way, that other people can view and be inspired by. This is why I think young people should invest more in themselves and in their purchases. Create more, but most importantly of all, make sure you have more reasons for the things you do.

Wolves Project

Here is a story meant to ruin your childhood, written by belthagor, and spoken by VoicesByCorey. Once upon a time there was a boy who befriended wolves. He yelled "wolf" at night, the villagers came to defend the sheep, and this little prank went on for a while, until one day he yelled wolf, but nobody came. The boy said "okay guys the coast is clear" and his wolf friends came over after he whistled for them to. They ate all the sheep and cooked him some of the meat so he could feast too. Overnight, while relaxed from their stomachs being full, the grandmother wolves knitted him a wool sweater and then said goodbye as they went to fall asleep in their wolf den in the forest... I have problems.

Inspirational Coffee Speech

Why do you drink coffee? And wouldn't you like it if there were technology that makes your coffee more enjoyable? Logically it would be some sort of machinery, and take up the whole basement of starbucks or some place, with an area of effect, by raising the prices of coffee drank on the premises for the additional effect, it would pay for itself in a few years. Think about that. Alternatively, wouldn't you drink it to stay awake in a place you'd like to be in, so you can stay awake all night, once, without turning it into a habit. You know a lot of people drink alcohol at night to enjoy themselves, but if you think about it, it makes you tired and clouds the mind, whereas coffee and caffiene in general stimulate you and wake you, which could also be used to enjoy the night and to party. When something is newer, people don't know how to think, because they aren't used to it, they need more time to catch up to something that's older, so if you'd like, take time to think about all of this. And the grand finale which would be my pun here would be that this is the first draft in writing, the word draft is used in beer, and coffee can actually be a celebration drink similar to beer. It is a draft coffee.

Inspirational Nature Project

Trees are from nature. Trees can kill people when they fall in a city and hit someone, the larger the tree, the worse the damage. They damage houses and properties in general, people lose their homes because of a little wind and nature at work. It is counter productive to have trees outside of forests where they belong, so lets chop down all the trees in populated areas and replace them with something that gives a lot of oxygen like seaweed farms but can't kill someone or destroy their home. I have tried to bring this idea forward to multiple people, so far none have considered it seriously. When something is newer people don't know how to think because they aren't used to it, so they need more time to catch up to something that's older. Branches get in the way of buildings and need to be removed, it is a high maintenance plant. I bet you would think that a fire would generally be a bad thing, right? Well if there were too much oxygen and then someone lit a match, we all know what would happen. Forest fires from nature, from lightning, are natures way of protecting the planet from itself, because it lowers the amount of living trees at once. It is not prepared for human polution, and the burning of fossil fuels, smoking, automobiles, planes, so it is a flawed system, causing more harm than good. But overall nature while being nice to look at, can ruin entire families lives because they can't afford another place to live after they have settled, some may be paying off their house while they lose it then they are in debt without a place to live. Insurance companies that insure homes lose money simply because of tall, heavy trees. We need to do something, although I personally believe there are people who fear the way of human progress, so they won't do something like plant trees in the forests where they cut them down, and instead put them in populations way, to harm people.

Water Speech

I have drank water in just about every major place I have gone. Usually I preferred Bulgaria's flawless water, full of minerals and healthy things, but I also fancied France's water in the airport hotel, which tasted different. Britain's water, also in the airport hotel, and Germany and Italy's water as well. I even drank water at niagara falls, even though the tour guide specifically said not to. It's becoming dirtier with pollution nowadays, but back in the 90's it truely made you healthy, even tap water did. I'm not sure why it has decreased in quality world wide these days exactly, but it's much worse, even if bottled. I'm glad I had these experiences drinking water, and exploring the taste in different countries and places, although usually I buy bottled nowadays. It's not the same.

The world's funniest shampoo commercial

Early one morning, two friends were on their way home from grocery shopping... As they walked, a girl jogs pass them. One of the guys points her out to his friend and exclaims in an excited voice, "Look, a person!” His friend, and the girl, are confused but say nothing. The two guys continue their walk, and the same girl jogs past them again. The same guy points her out to his friend again with more enthusiasm. "Look! The same exact person!” The girl is once again confused but is flattered by the recognition. As she passes the guys, she decides to jog in a circle around a building to pass the guys again. The same guy points excitedly again and says "Look, the same exact person, a third time!!" At this point, it is clear he is trying to make his friend notice the girl. However, the friend is clueless and misses an opportunity to be set up with the girl. The girl jogs past the guys and the friend v says slowly "Awww... She left." Fin

Elevators

In this scenario we see belthagor walking into an elevator and then staying in it for several minutes because he forgot to press the button. Belthagor shortly becomes confused and thinks the elevator is broken. We see belthagor begin to panic and press the alarm button. The fire department arrives and presses the button for the elevator to open. A firefighter speaks: You're welcome for us saving you, please don't call us again.

Gambler's Fallacy

You know. I am going to teach you gamblers fallacy in words that anyone including a child can understand, through an example in life. It was raining yesterday, it rained today, there is no possible way that it will rain tommorow! And the next day after our main hero said this... It rained.

Collab with YurgenBurgen

You know... how come singers in the US both male and female rarely to never use peoples names in their love songs? They're like "I love you" or "As long as you love me" or "I love him/her" without really using a persons name ever. A lot of songs in France use someone's name. "Julie mmm Julie Julie mmm Juliee eee eee eee eee" You can tell the musician is interested in this Julie person, and is excited when she walks into a room so he's singing a song about her. And some other french woman can try to imagine how Julie the unknown lady being admired must feel while listening to the guy sing about her, and maybe sing along for a bit. Or some guy who hears the song can imagine how the guy is feeling about his Julie. While in the US it's totally unclear who the guy or girl is singing about if anyone at all. It's too beurocratic and uptight. I guess it's probably because unlike Europe, where we may argue yell and swear for twenty minutes over which car can cross a small bridge first, or get in a fist fight, we never do things like hang out in court rooms, the most popular social spot to meet people and have lawsuits." We think more relaxed and we don't make much trouble when a person's name is used. How many people have the first name John Smith, for example in the US? Although a while ago someone used the name Delilah in a song. That's the only name I have heard used within many many years. I asked my friend in college who was a smoker and he said "They don't actually love absolutely anyone, they're just doing it to please the masses. They're like "I love you" they didn't even make the song about a person. It's ridiculous." And then the three of us made up the term "Bitch Lasagna." No pewdiepie did not create it, we did and posted it on urban dictionary a decade ago. It's basically a person who's all lovey dovey but doesn't really like anyone." In years it became popular.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Give me just One sentence. Anyone can make a criminal. Write or say a sentence. "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." "How do you know it was quick?" "How do you know it was brown?" "How do you know it was a fox?" "How do you know it jumped?" "How do you know it was lazy?" "How do you know it was a dog?" "Are you lying?" "You're under oath." And then after this series of questions... Anyone can make an insane person by asking "Did you hallucinate the whole thing while walking through the Forest?

So you know, I've been thinking, How come singers in the US never use people's names in their love songs? They're always singing 'I love you,' or 'as long as you love me,' or 'I love him or her' without using a person's name. A lot of songs in France use someone's name, like Julie for example. You can tell the musician is really interested in Julie and is excited when she walks into a room. So, he's singing a song about her. Some other French woman can try to imagine how Julie the unknown lady must feel, being admired by somebody, and in fact even having the guy sing about her."

"Maybe the girl trying to imagine Julie is singing along for a bit, or, you know, some guy who hears the song can imagine how the guy is feeling about Julie. While in the US it's totally unclear who the guy or girl is singing about, if anyone at all. It's too bureaucratic and... uptight.

Never Give Up! (Art Trade Speech)

Ahoy there, lads! Captain Loudmouth here, and today I'm going to talk to you about how things are different nowadays and how I want to encourage you not to give up. Keep driving the friend ship. Through the seven seas in exploration and different things, you may meet pirates! It would be wise to keep your friend ship well equipped to deal with such a mess and for you not to get robbed or possibly even forced to become a part of the pirate crew. Piloting the friend ship in the name of evil, grog and plundering is a big no no. The friend ship may be difficult to drive at times, and in stormy weather, it's good to have a competent crew. But always, always remember to have lemons on board to prevent scurvy while sailing on your trusty friend ship. You're welcome lads, and thank you for viewing this briefing for your brand new friend ship. Detailed instructions and cabin members not included. Results may vary.

Game Show Event

So, hear me out, I thought of a fun event that could be part of a game show. Okay so... it's a guy or girl, and theres shelves with different shampoos on them, different main color bottles of shampoo. I think it would be more appealing for a woman but anyway, the person is told to sit in a cart on rails and the cart moves slowly through the area until it reaches the end. The person in the cart, before it begins moving through the area around the shampoo shelves, has been given a paper with different color gummy sticky wads, similar to chewing gum, but for the kind used to keep post it notes on a board. They are instructed to throw the small even size wads and match the same color at the shampoos they see, for example a red wad of sticky non-edible gum needs to land on a red colored bottle of shampoo for them to win that shampoo. They need to be quick while looking around the area while in their cart and throw things accurately at the shampoos that they want to win. After the ride is over, the game show announcer says to the guy or girl. "You are now free to walk around the area and pick 10 different shampoos, any that you wish, even if you didn't land a single piece of gum on them." The idea behind this is to see which shampoos will be picked over others, and different companies benefit from this by advertising their products, for example one company may have 5 different brands of shampoos on individual shelves, different colors. If they manage to sell 100 of that shampoo that is picked out when the person has freedom to look around and browse the area, they have profited and created a fun game for the individual picked to play. It's just a small business idea that I made up.

Hello everyone. I have drawn up a concept for my new project. I will be working on it 100% solo unless, for some reason, I am unable to code it, in which case I will need a programmer to help me to do so. As you can see in this screenshot of my drawn preview, I have all the elements drawn up. Now I just need to place them in individual image files and begin coding, which will probably be a nightmare as I have only coded, partially, two things before.

Hello everyone. After a long conversation, and multiple people's input, I have decided to revolutionize chess using open source code and having a programmer modify it a bit. I will use some music as well on loop as a background to the game.

I could explain the whole concept, but that would be long and boring, so here is a picture that says a thousand words.

And for those of you who would prefer for me to write it out...

In this version of chess, there will be three boards, combined into one, horizontally, and three times the amount of pieces. *The goal is to perform one checkmate on any of the three kings to win.* Group up on one side of the board, but don't leave yourself too defenseless on another.

All feedback welcome.
