What is your favorite dessert?

Would you go out on a date with a homeless person?
Yukarin:
Since I am well-versed in the art of Starcraft, more tips from you, Pesco.

Protoss has a single rule in mind, NEVER GO UPWARDS TO 300 TO 500 MINERALS. When you do, it means something is wrong and you need to spend that, either by making more units like Goons or Zealots or upgrading, say, speed. Protoss in incredibly powerful in terms of units, so use that as some sort of Psychological Advantage to win. Try it out, walk a group of Speedlots to an enemy base and they WILL back out. But then, Starcraft is not all about massing units up and A-moving towards the enemy base.

With that in mind, keep a well-rounded composition. In mirror matches, it all comes down to Goon/Zealot micro and timing. (Some Reavers wouldn't hurt too.) In PvZ, stick to zealots, high templars and zealots as Zerg will tear up weak units very very easily. Late game, Archons are great for killing those cracklings beneath Dark Swarm. For Terran, Goon/Zealot still stands out, but the massive amounts of mines and vultures may keep you at bay.

Resources are key for Toss, especially GAS. Yes, they are powerful, but with a hefty price. Like TSO said, aim to expand if your minerals get too high. It will give you the advantage in uber late game.

I can give more, but yeah. I was once a Toss user so I know these stuff. Just recently switched to Terran.

IN ANY NOTE, Is it really hard being in charge of everything? I always thought that being in charge meant ordering people so that they do the work for you.

theshirn:
What is your ideal career?

Where would you like to live?  Where are you going after you move?

Why are you excessively stabhappy?

What's the best way - both from a personal perspective as well as that of an administrator - of dealing with stupid people?  Oblivious ones?  Trolls?

Depends on what you mean by homeless but if you're referring to if I care about social status in a potential date, no not really.  Now would I date some random guy off the street?  Probably not, I'm extremely shy and it's actually pretty hard for me to get comfortable enough to be around someone in an intimate manner.

There's a tag called [hr], you should look into it.

As for your question, being in charge isn't about being bossy and ordering around.  You can't lead if you're not willing to follow.  A terrible boss leads by barking orders, a good boss leads by example.  I don't expect anything from the rest of the staff that I wouldn't be willing to do myself.  I didn't take this position to stroke my ego either.  Trust me, if I wanted to stroke my ego there's far easier ways than running and maintaining an online community @_@

Anywhere where I can fully put my talents and gifts to the benefit of mankind.  I enjoy pretty much every branch of science.  I'm also a huge music nerd and musician and I seriously considered music education as my career.  If I had my choice I'd probably be a music teacher, but unfortunately the political and economic climate for teachers right now is horrendously poor.

I have lots of places I'd like to live, but what matters to me the most is access to nature, a clear night sky, and Internet ^^;  I'm just as much an urbanite as I am a country girl.  As for where I'm going now, totally dependant on where I find a job more than anything else.  That's what's going to determine where I move to.

I stab therefore I am.

Patience.  Trolls feed off the lack of patience, and "stupid" people may not be intentionally ignorant but just not as quick or as knowledgeable as others.  If they're just not up to speed, then getting angry isn't going to solve anything.  And if they're intentionally being obtuse or trolling, being angry gives them exactly what they want. 

It takes a LOT to get me ticked off to the point where I lose my composure.  Now I may seem curt and I may use strong language, but that's not out of anger, I just think it's pointless to sugarcoat and pretend.  If I'm being dumb, I want to be told that up front, not be pat on the back and patronized.  That being said I am learning to use less "charged" phrasing and language so people don't get the wrong idea and think I'm being hostile.  I know I have a tendency to use words and language that tend to get misconstrued and misinterpreted.
