SpikeTalon's Profile

Gonna get personal.

NotConvinced comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Your appearance and personality do not need to match by societal definitions. I don't understand the point of this.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

I too am baffled as to the point of this post.

Does anyone else think it's weird when a dating profile says something along the lines of "I'm ...

ElisaBailarina comments on Apr 15, 2018:

I think it’s good. I’d rather see a person know exactly what they want and have the confidence in themselves to go for it. If they find their options are limited they can reevaluate what’s most important to them so they can broaden their horizons. We’re all growing and learning and we should...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

I agree.

I just realized why I can't comment on anymore posts from the gun control group.

ArtemisDivine comments on Apr 15, 2018:

I wish teachers of today would stop trying to indoctrinate our children with their own personal and political viewpoints.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

I got your message about that link, all good.

Worst form of torture?

Trajan61 comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Hell the Christain’s aren’t as bad as those left wing gun grabbing radicals on the main forum of this website. I have many friends and family who are good people and go to church but none of them are as radical as those left wing idiots.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

You're correct in that assessment. The same morons who say all AR-15 style rifles should be banned, and yet turn around and say it's fine for police to have them, that's some hypocrisy writ large. I say all the anti gun folks should move to the "peaceful" city of Chicago, as that city has some of the toughest restrictions, so they would feel at home there.

What's something good happening in your life right now/soon? Something you're excited about?

I am about to level up on this site! Party time! Who’s coming? ?

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

Tear down the house!

Who do you believe in?

crazycurlz comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I believe a little bit in a lot of people. Right now I believe in Mossab Yousef Hassan who called out the Palestinian National Authority at the UN for acts against the Palestinians. I believe in Jake Tapper because he was the only journalist I saw covering the UN through this period. I believe in ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

As did I. I'm blown away on multiple levels, very well stated CrazyCurlz, and we the community believe in you too!

Should there even be the concept of a "billionaire"?

Scoobs comments on Apr 14, 2018:

Wow...the jealously that exists in our world amazes me. The have-nots always demonize the haves rather than set it their goal to improve their own lives. You should really look into all of the good that most billionaires do in the world. They're not Scrooge McDuck, hoarding money so they can ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

Very well stated, and I agree.

Inquiry To All

SilverDollarJedi comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I used to more or less be addicted to not being sober. And depression for years on top of that. The myriad of substances I was using was probably a symptom of the depression I am sure. I have a much better handle on both these days. Educating myself on a lot of things helped me a lot as silly as ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

Self education is the way to go, and helped improve my life for sure.

Inquiry To All

Browneyedlady comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I don't drink alcohol, because I come from a long line of alcoholism, but I do suffer from depression and anxiety, especially lately. I also have horrible social anxiety, but at the same time I want to be social and "belong." I was so excited to be invited for a party for a co-worker yesterday, ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

Geez, sorry to hear that, is being here on this platform among fellow non-believers helping some? I'm mostly introverted, but it depends alot on my current mood too, but I don't usually experience any social anxiety. Still, I find myself at times politely bowing out of invitations for social functions, so please know you are not alone in that struggle.

Inquiry To All

Nurse-Quantros comments on Apr 14, 2018:

Yes. I'm a former addict, and still struggle with alcohol. Depression follows poison, the three are only trinity that have ever manifest in my life. But, I am making my peace with it. Don't know if I'd be any help, but I've got an ear to lend.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 15, 2018:

I've an ear to lend as well.

For those who grew up in Christianity or some form of religion in whose after life was contingent on...

NotConvinced comments on Apr 14, 2018:

The things you are not supposed to do are the most fun. So, brimstone and fire seemed a bit of a stretch...After reading the bible, I decided that God was evil and I would gladly ride on Satan's back into war against this schizophrenic monster.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

So in other words, when it comes to the existence of the biblical god yahweh, you are just...not convinced;)

Do more non-believers view life as a painful, unpleasant experience?

NotConvinced comments on Apr 14, 2018:

We need more options. The problem is society, not the individual. How can one fully be happy, while being aware they cannot be/live how they want? Society forces one to live in a box. Some accept it and even welcome it, while others possess a personality that can never be happy in such a ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

Yeah, and that box society forces us into keeps getting smaller and smaller.

How does music effect you...?

crappyburglar comments on Apr 14, 2018:

When it's done right, it can take me anywhere. Love, anger, hedonism, sadness, despair, heartbreak, euphoric vision, ballads of mythical battlefields. And when the song is over, I get to go home without a hangover. Love songs are not really my genre, but, years ago, I found one that is beautiful ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

Nice indeed.

How does music effect you...?

Marine comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I did not even know I could get a skin orgasm! I guess I am still waiting?

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

Waiting and anticipating here too.

At what age did you start questioning god and the universe?

Sporty comments on Mar 23, 2018:

The expressions about prayer and god has a plan annoy me .

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

Nothing fails quite like prayer.

Air strikes on Syrian regime in retaliation for chemical weapon use.

NotConvinced comments on Apr 14, 2018:

The last 2-3 were investigated by the U.N. and they found it was most likely the rebels being trained by America... America is the problem, not the solution! Society cares little, as long as they don't have to deal with it...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

You got that right.

I found this article to be very informative and impressive.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I just manually typed the link on two different browser apps and the site showed just fine, which tells me you got censored on here Artemis Divine. That's interesting...I thought this was supposed to be a free speech platform? Censorship of any kind is flat out wrong.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

@ArtemisDivine We'll see if the issue gets resolved...

Andriod users query

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I think the native screenshot function is often times not good enough, I'd recommend using a third party screenshot app that could easily be installed from Google Play. There are many screenshot apps available on the Playstore. Android fanatic here, if you ever have any other Android related ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

@Captnron59 Didn't have any trouble downloading one, you may need to try another and see if that works.

This is a riot, I had to share this! I want one of those high capacity magazines that hold tank ...

Trajan61 comments on Apr 14, 2018:

The liberals don’t even understand how guns work and often want to pass idiotic laws based just on a guns appearance! I’m sorry but just because a gun has a folding or collapsable stock doesn’t make it a weapon of war! The liberals will never be satisfied until they’ve banned all guns!

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

That much is for certain.

So now that private companies are starting to put stuff in space howling do you think it will be ...

bingst comments on Apr 13, 2018:

Even when it happens, because the powers-that-be are so shortsighted, there won't be any way to stop them even after the ransom is paid, so weather, GPS, and communications is in peril. I mean, the Russians and Chinese could do that now. And North Korea could soon be able, as they apparently have ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

While I would be more partial to Weyland Yutani, Starfleet would serve the purpose just fine.

ollieberry comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I have found that drinking and karaoke is better than karaoke and drinking

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

Blotto is even more fun than drinking and karaoke combined, and it's real simple to play...all you have to do is get drunk and pick the numbers. Just in case you wonder, yes, I just made that up.

Positive/negative, give/take, yin/yang.... Any opinions?

NothinnXpreVails comments on Apr 13, 2018:

My opinion is that people will reply to meaningless posts, while ignoring posts with more substance.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 14, 2018:

You hit the nail on the head with that one. I've done quite a few posts now with some being rather extensive, and yet I've received very little feedback, which makes me wonder what the point was.

How do you get tasks accomplished?

NothinnXpreVails comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I reclassify them are unnecessary and cross them off the list. That seems to work.

Whatever it takes...

No shortage of unhinged folks in this world unfortunately. That might become my new favorite word...unhinged, I like that.

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 13, 2018:

Lancer comments on Mar 27, 2018:

True. They're both equally zealous however one believes in keeping their traditions to themselves and the other believes in imposing their collective social justice and dogmatic tyrannical beliefs on the wider community which is not associated with them. Just like the Nazi's I guess. I'm all...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 13, 2018:

@Lancer I stumbled across the post where some leftie lady was arguing with you, and decided to pick on your age and proceeded to tell you to acquire more life experience before you debate. I too do not relish the thought of having to block others, but it was my pleasure to block her, that woman was vile. Quite a few others who I observed talking down gun owners joined her on the block list;)

Oooooooohh Lancer gooot bloooocked.

ArtemisDivine comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I went to nursing school at age 46ish. Hated nursing school but the outcomes have been rewarding. I found a not-for-profit whose mission coincides with my own core values and every day look forward to helping clients. Thought about getting more education but the cost is nuts, so instead saving for ...

I'm adding this as a favorite and will use it as a resource whenever I get into the right situation/personally feel ready to tackle it. Thank you for...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 13, 2018:

My pleasure. Knowledge is power, and knowing what you're up against is half of the battle, and I know quite a bit in the fields of cyber security and mobile device privacy.

I'm honored to hear you bookmarked this post to your favorites, the first person to bookmark any of my posts to my knowledge, and I thank you for that.

NFAguy53 comments on Mar 21, 2018:

This morning, a bad guy with a gun was shooting up a high school in Maryland when he was shot and stopped by a good guy with a gun. Since it doesn’t fit the PC narrative, it is getting almost no media coverage. For fans of gun control as the preferred method to stop school shootings, the bad guy ...

SpikeTalon replies on Apr 13, 2018:

@NFAguy53 Gun control is never about common sense, just control, controlling citizen's rights. No amount of gun control ever worked either, you're right criminals don't care about laws in the first place.

I use Google Photos, and today I'm seriously rethinking that option.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Yeah, that was no random occurence. Did you have any other options in mind regarding photo editors etc? Or are you in need of privacy focused apps to minimize spying?
