#874539 Impromptu poetry!

Posted by Departure on 04 September 2013 - 08:05 AM

If I'm honest with myself I don't want this night to end

Is it me, you, us, or them?

Logical, illogical, who really cares

My head spins and I forget

Your eyes, your smile, myself

What I wouldn't give to forget tomorrow

And forever stay by your side

My mate, my love, my friend




#761456 What TV Series are you currently watching?

Posted by Departure on 07 July 2013 - 07:58 AM

I thought watching TV was a waste of time until I watched game of thrones, then everything changed...

 

  • Game of Thrones (the only show you need to watch, would recommend reading the books first)
  • How I Met Your Mother (can watch it over and over again and never get bored)
  • The Big Bang Theory (awkward)
  • Psych (funniest show ever)
  • Revolution
  • The Walking Dead (it makes want to read the comic)
  • Continuum (Epic)
  • The Guardian
  • The Mentalist
  • Bones
  • American Horror Story (It messes with your mind)
  • Ben and Kate (hope it continues)
  • BBC Merlin
  • BBC Sherlock Holmes (can he really be that smart)
  • The Mindy Project (no new episodes :[
  • New Girl
  • Once Upon a Time (watched a few episodes)
  • Sons of Anarchy (watched the first season, the title really fits)
  • Terra Nova (it could of continued)
  • Vampire Diaries (watched a bit and dropped it)
  • Breaking Bad (haven't watched in a while)
  • Community (the best)
  • House (He's a mess, a lovable mess)
  • Teen Wolf (watched the first 2S)
  • Awkward (Jenna is getting on my nerves, she needs to make up her mind already)
  • Scrubs (watched a few episodes)
  • Burn Notice (a show that teaches you stuff)
  • White Collar (watched 1S)
  • Supernatural (not much into the plot-more into the guys)
  • Heroes (cancelled, I still want to know what happened to the girl that got stuck in the future)
  • Avatar the last Air Bender + Legend of Korra (it's a cartoon, could be considered an anime, in any case it's entertaining and fun to watch)
  • Dragons: Riders of Berk (I know this show is practically for kids, but I like it :])

 

wow...Big list, and here I thought I did not watch that much TV...
 

In any case, here's a website where you can find tons of shows.




#634292 A dislike option for comments section

Posted by Departure on 20 April 2013 - 09:35 AM

When Batoto first started it used to have that option, but it was taken away. Why? Don't ask me I forgot. It's true once in while you feel like the dislike option should be available again, but I don't really see the point in it. The dislike option is just like adding fuel to the fire, the more people dislike a comment the more likely they're bound to go on never ending argument about it, but without the option people just forget about the comment and read through until they find something they can agree with. That's what the like option is for.

Shadows reflect upon your pale skin
It's like a tree being reflected upon calm shallow waters
A feigned smile upon your lips
Whispers that fall upon deaf ears
Your hair like silk, it hides your face
Your dark brown eyes, blend within the shadows
You seemed to have disappeared
You just blended with the background
Still carrying that same feigned smile upon your lips

#157115 Impromptu poetry!

Posted by Departure on 12 April 2012 - 01:55 AM

You slider underground
And above ground
You poisonous vile thing
And though I cannot see you
And though I cannot hear you
I know you lie there waiting
Your eyes fixated on me watching my every move
Aware of my every breath
You poisonous vile thing
My heart beats faster and faster
And in a sudden move
I feel your lips on my neck
My heart beats faster and faster
Blood rushes to my brain
Poisoned by your vile tongue
My heart has frozen
But it has not stopped
Poisoned by your vile tongue
I feel nothing
I am numb
All because of you…


#76684 Are torrent websites going to go down too?

Posted by Departure on 24 January 2012 - 07:23 PM



Utorrent, bittorrent and what not, might not be going down. To many corporations have invested in it.


#71292 SOPA & PIPA

Posted by Departure on 18 January 2012 - 10:02 AM

So I didn't know where to post this, (I don't know if it this could become a hard pill to swallow, and that perhaps it might disturb the peace of Batoto, but considering that if this bill were to pass, I might not be able to access Batoto anyways, it would be up to the moderators to delete it, so I don’t know if it will stay up, considering that other people might rather not know or care about the importance of this. I don’t intend to speak on behalf of the people here in Batoto, but there’s people around me that simply rather not hear what I have to say, because it’s too troublesome, and is those people who I am referring to. It’s nothing personal, really) but I just felt that I had to say something regarding this new bill that congress intends to pass.

I was thinking about it all day, and I while thinking I felt annoyed, and frustrated at what I was hearing in the radio.

Ok first of all, people really need to boycott this, one because congress is only playing this by ear, you ask a congressman what exactly is the internet, and they have no idea what it is all about, in fact I bet that they have never even touched a computer in their life. Letting themselves be manipulated by what the big corporations say, and not even trying to understand what they are about to pass, is just ridiculous.

In other short news, one of the six strongest corporations, that own part of the U.S. media, is suing YouTube (Viacom), and in doing so, it hopes to shut it down.

As for the P.I.P.A (Protect IP Act) and S.O.P.A (Stop Online Piracy Act) bills, which are supposed to be used against copyright infringement, are nothing but a way for corporations, or individuals to regulate the internet to their liking. They could shot down websites if they believe (if they feel like it) that its content was copyrighted. They could filter out entire websites, they could block out peoples' access to the internet through their ip addresses. Corporations could sue individuals, if they felt the need to.

An example would be; let’s say that you are shooting a video outside a restaurant, and a song of so-and-so artist is playing in the background, and you upload it to the internet, corporations could sue you just for that. You didn't have the intention to include the song, but it just happen to be playing at that moment, and even though it sounds ridiculous that's pretty much how much power corporations/individuals would have over the internet.

And what pisses me of the most (for those that live in the U.S.), Comcast is pro the two bills. Yeah the famous internet provider (which I hate by the way), is supporting this two bills.

I also heard that this two bills, could also affect people in other parts of the world, not just the U.S. Though I am not really sure how.

And so, that we don't become the next communist (Totalitarian) China. People can go to: http://www.sopastrike.com/, and http://www.sopastrike.com/strike/

And lastly, Wikipedia is protesting by shutting itself down today, the 18th, but it still seems to work for me, so let’s see what happens, and hope for the best.


#21234 Looking for a manga - not even sure if it IS a manga.

Posted by Departure on 04 November 2011 - 05:11 PM

I found this. The story matches, but the appearance of the characters is a bit different.


#19498 First manga EVER

Posted by Departure on 26 October 2011 - 06:06 PM

My first manga was Mars, it's still one of my favorites till this day. A friend lent it to me, in my second year of middle school, it was sort of weird, cuz I was like, is this really considered reading, "book with pictures, or art or however you want to see it", but then I got used to reading them. I am not really a fan of anime, and for some weird reason I don't like downloading anime, and is not cuz I feel guilty that I am watching it for free(maybe I am being a bit too honest, but whatever I am tired right now), it's just I don't see the point of filling my hard-drive with content that I am going to delete later anyways. It's a waste of time.

Anime that I've watched was lent to me so I watch it, but I think I prefer old anime. The times when anime was still in its experimental stages, and it was just full of randomness, and just plain weird. Anime nowadays bores me, and it all just seems the same. That's why I prefer manga. It just can't compare.
