I'm pulling a Barve - anyone else?

I'm just stoking up on them so that I can be vitriolic and at peace when the time comes.

Now many Barves have you pulled prior to release?

No need, youre sweaty enough as is clearly

This is true. I've pulled many Barves to make sure that when I finally say something that's considered rude I'm all banked up on my Barves and can just get on with my day

"My version of an apology is better than everyone else, because.... " 5 mins later "other people when they apologize make it about them...." talking to someone other than the offended... about their form of apology being superior.
*blink*

Do they ever reread what they write? Ever?

She did 5 press-ups and said "We do a quick 10", what do you think?

Well, the animators could only fit five because she only grunted for that long, they had to make room for the sermon.

So... Did Bioware succeeded in making "pulling a barve" happen?

I'd say the decision is split. Some people really don't like the game because of how simple and easy it is. Others love it for exactly that reason. The equities padding seems to be not too hefty to be able to pull out any examples worse than 'Pulling a Barve' but not anything fantastically new or exciting.

Seems like it gets a pass. But that's just my opinion.

I don't understand why the sentiment of trying to better ones self from making mistakes that disregards others is considered something comical. Havent you ever done something wrong, and wanted to prove that you're sorry for it?

"Prove that you're sorry"? So once again, this is totally about the offender and not about the offended?

Back when I was growing up, there was a clear distinction between "I'm sorry," which was a way to exhibit compassion for the other person's pain; and "I apologize," or more formally, "Please accept my apology," which meant "Yeah, I screwed up, I hope you can forgive me." Totally distinct actions: it's possible to be sorry but not apologetic ("I'm sorry your cat died.") and it's certainly possible to feel you should apologize even if you did nothing wrong (*BUMP* "Oh, I apologize, I didn't realize you were there!")

"I'm sorry" is about you. "I apologize" is asking the other person for forgiveness. "Proving that you're sorry" is just straight-up narcissism--"Hey, look at me, everyone, I'm sorry!"

That is all.
