I think I would too!

Oddly, one reason: the internet wasn't around, and I used to do so much stuff with my friends outdoors, and it'd be curious to see what it was like again, before the internet was something more than a very few people used.

Right? Nobody had cell phones, and I didn't see internet until the last couple years of high school. We just got high and had fun.

That sounds not bad actually. I've only been out of college a few years, so of course the internet, smart phones, and all were ubiquitous. It makes it easy to find out where everybody's getting together on a Friday, for sure.
Because I'm a luddite, though, I've managed to live not so attached and had/have a personal policy that says if the sun is up, I'm outside doing something instead of sitting inside....which led to lots of not studying when I was still a student. I doubt that had any affect on my grades :rolleyes:

House parties, hanging out in the woods riding dirt bikes, road trips to Philly and Wildwood, NJ. Going to concerts, getting absolutely smashed at my buddy's house while he raged about me using Smoke in MK3 lol.

They were seriously fun times.

Greeting, fellow Luddite! I've had a kind of grudging embrace of technology, one might say! Since I have long work/commute days, my furry self has become a sort of substitute wilderness, or place to get away? And much of that happens in a virtual realm. I would have never, ever guessed anything like this would have happened to me, at one point : P

Yeah, things seemed more spontaneous. I mean, you might juts stop by a friend's house and it was no big deal. Now, if you even call somebody on the phone, it's as if you made some huge invasion of privacy. As much as the digital world has 'connected' people, it seems like I actually see fewer of them. There's an odd irony.

I still rarely use my phone to actually make a call. Maybe 2-4 a month? I mostly text, because people eventually get around to answering those. Sometimes calls are inconvenient, depending on what people are doing.

Thankfully my main group of friends were this way to a degree. We didn't have dirtbikes and no one wanted to mountain bike with me so I did that by myself, but they're the ones that got me into cars, so we'd be working on them at someone's house or making road trips to meets in other cities or test and tunes at the drag strips, things like that. And the weekend parties were all with the same folks, so that too. I was the DD on the 4 or 5am Waffle House trips :D

This is extremely true and a bit sad. I know it's the same way for me. I like your takes on these things.

The three kings were apes and a fox an' holy maria were another fox so nature get his run and BOOM lil furry jesus was born!
God got envy as he sees it and told the pope to write the holy bible, covering this awesome story in catholic phrases and prophet spells.
And this, my little cubs, is how religion was born. Dort. Final. Really!

Is it a no-go to get a lineart template (from google) and colorize it myself for a badge?

technically you made new art of existing content then, so it should be okay.
And to the ethical things, as long as you credit the owner of the lineart i think it should be okay.

You should come here, and fix the DC Metro! It needs help!!!

Actually, mass transit in the US needs help period. Maybe in the year 2,500 we'll have high speed trains that mach those of China and Japan : P
