The Flood / Re: Thief in your house
« on: March 28, 2016, 12:35:59 PM »
I'd probably take him to a mcdonalds or something. After rummaging around in my couch cushions while explaining to said fellow that I'm not exactly the wealthiest.

Dude was coming into my home to rummage through the few bits of food I have and for soap. He could've done a lot worse. This would be somebody desperate enough to break into a home, respectful enough not to take anything else of real meaning, and maybe not exactly the brightest.

To me that doesn't warrent notifying the police. That warrents showing them a little bit of compassion and maybe pointing them in the right direction.

Plus, I'd be the second person here to kill him, as, after all, Mcdonalds is horrendously bad. I'd be killing him softly.

Yeah but all the jobs the immigrants leave can be taken up by high-schoolers you know like how it was during the good ol' 70's
lol do you think your lazy fatass spoiled kids are gonna want to get up at 5am to pick berries in scorching weather?

Dont make me laugh

It's a legitimate point though.

Nobody in their sane mind would want to wake up at 5 or 6 and go to work. Unless they had a job they really loved.

And we know that's not the case. There's more people out there in the world with miserable jobs than there are those with enjoyable ones. Even those immigrants who come to our respective countries in wonder of all that we have, don't enjoy getting up early in the morning to go to work.

The difference with them however, is that they're accustomed to survival. Doing what they have to. And so they can push through things they don't like. But, give them two generations of children born in a first world environment and their kids will be soft and spoiled as well.

I really, honestly can't blame anybody who doesn't want to get up at 5 or 6 and go to work.

The enjoyable child I used to be was probably stamped out and crushed at around 8-9. Slow burn for a few more years.

After 14 I was basically just a dead adult in teenager form, having transitioned partially into crusty old fuck adult already.

That stuff happens though Deci. Hopefully in a more graceful manner than I ever transitioned. If you can pull it off in a graceful manner, and move from one interest to the next, then you're fine. It's a part of aging. We outgrow things.

That'd be fine except for the fact that first world teenagers have no work ethic whatsoever anymore. Well, 90% of them at least. The problem, funny enough, with making a country comfortable, is that people get too comfortable with being comfortable. They just want all the shit out there handed to them.

That's why first world country governments love immigrants. Poor families from shit parts of the world don't take that comfort for granted. They'll work hard down to the bone, and they'll do it for cheap wages. My province is a fine example of that.

You know what teens and young adults do out here? They fuck off and leave. Nearly all of our doctors are south african. Our workforce is being replaced by philippinos and middle eastern-ers.

The Flood / Re: Problem with Man of Steel
« on: March 28, 2016, 12:13:18 AM »
Snyder's dream sequences in Man of Steel and BvS are just not done well

I haven't seen BvS yet, but in MoS they are done very well. At least in the technical sense. They just fail the sniff test of reality. Someone like Zod wouldn't try to terrify someone into stopping him. There's no other outcome to that particular imagry. It's pretty, beautiful even. But it makes zero sense when you think about what he's trying to accomplish.

Well, here's a quick theory off the top of my head. Just for shits.

Maybe the technology being used to create the communications in dream sequences is more fine tuned to what a person has deep inside of their sub-conscious. As in, somebody has limited control over what they can create and show other people, because the technology goes into their true sub-conscious.

Maybe Zod wasn't able to convey peace and bunnies with kryptonians and humans living together, because to Zod, that peace wasn't a real option in his mind. To Zod and other kryptonians, humans were an inferior species. And to Zod, maybe his truly deep sub-conscious vision of peace was what we saw.

Kryptonians ruling again.

Original question aside I have my own. Legitimately how many people will you bump into in your lifetime that you can easily confirm without a doubt that they are highly sexually active?

I'll answer. Likely very few. The only people being friends who are involved in your personal life to a degree enough that you can tell that they're sexually active, and passerby hookers on the street, depending on how much you travel or where you live.

So to answer your question, no I don't judge. Because I don't travel and I have no friends.

Even if I did, I don't see what the point would be.

Usually it comes in the form of bragging or cocky behavior
Which is why I'm assuming that most people hate sexually active people for their attitude since you honestly can't tell who is sexually active or not unless they throw it in your face

Then perhaps the joke's on me then, since I've never had any friends or been around too many people in number to brag at me about their sexual conquests.

I figured you were going to frame the question as in I was given it to eat and then told afterwards what it was.

If I was told beforehand I'd pass. For starters, in order for the meat to in any vague sense be "clean" the person would have to have been murdered or killed.

Otherwise said person died of other causes. Like disease.

And let's not talk about things like the shakes and various nerve diseases contracted from eating people.

Ipods ain't so expensive anymore ya know. You can find some in the 80 dollar range.

Speaking of that, got a story for you. Last year I lost mine. Had no idea where I put it. Which is weird because I always carry mine with me securely.

Long story short a couple weeks ago I found the fucking thing shovelling snow out of my driveway. The headphones still worked and the thing itself still works. Gotta hand it to them, that thing is pretty nifty for handling harsh work environments.

Easily cancer of some kind. Hair loss, bleached skin, changes of the rings around his eyes and miscoloration, and the fact that he needs somebody to push him out and about pretty much seals it.

If it's not cancer, it's the drugs he's taking to fight it.

Serious / Re: What keeps you going?
« on: March 27, 2016, 12:17:53 AM »
That's a good question. Things have been strange for me lately. Since I've given about half a year or so before what I've got kills me, I sort of seemed to just detach from mostly everything. I am, on my way out the door, soon. Most of all the worries or things I fussed over just became irrelevant to me.

Because they're things that are about to go beyond my grasp. I won't be alive to worry about them. Nor strive to them.

But then I remember that the doc's statements aren't everything. And I shouldn't let everything go so easily. Maybe I can outrun their projected dates for a few extra months. Maybe I can even beat the odds.

Right now the only things I really care about are my family and the people around me. I want to continue going so that I can be there to help them when they need it. I want to see them make something of their lives beyond the failure of mine, and to myself, be somebody who played a hand in enabling it to happen.

What's keeping me up and about is people. People I worry about or care for. I want to see them make something of themselves. I want to listen to them when they have nobody else to talk to. Listen to what fascinates them and makes them happy. Help them when I can, if, I can.

Most of all, I'd like to meet somebody who can put a spark back in me. Which is hard, now. Because I'm in a failing state of health. I couldn't bump into somebody and willingly get close to them now that I know my time's running out. I wouldn't inflict that on them. And I couldn't do it to myself. To finally meet somebody who adds something back to my world, only to go and have it taken away.

I keep getting up because I want things to go right.

If you let your choice in prospective partner get dictated to you by twitter and tumblr, you are part of that evolutionary decline.

Fat Shaming is stupid, you won't get someone to lose weight by ridiculing them because duhoy -> stress -> anxiety -> more eating. Anti-fat shaming is people who would rather take the 'easy' route of forcing acceptance of obesity instead of putting down the god damned fork.

It's a problem that my generation and those after it are going to face. Know what that is?

They've not been taught how to be happy. And they've not been shown or given the means to pursue happiness. From the get-go, all you're instilled with is "Get money, Pay for things." And your faith is directed towards the system which is the main provider of things that make people happy, when they can purchase them of course. That's the illusion, anyway.

But it's been like that with every previous generation before yours and mine. Every generation had their big shitstorm to deal with. Every generation had their depressing things to look at. For every generation, as society changed, it was considered a downwards spiral.

And yet we're still here. All those generations moping about the end of a good society or a decent world, and lo and behold, we're still here.

As for travelling, you know it's not as impossible as they make it seem. People seem to think that you need an express amount of money to travel. All you need is a backpack, your feet, and a passport. It's more dangerous today than it was a few decades ago. But it's still easily possible.

Well said man. Hope you're holding up well. :/

I didn't exactly answer your question either. And I suppose I'm in a unique situation to be posed the question. Well, I'll tell you what.

I was given a choice. I could take the remaining time I have, and go to a care facility where they'd make me comfortable. Or I could extend things a little longer by taking drugs. The whole process wouldn't be pretty, compared to a care place where I'd be semi-comfortable, at least.

But I chose more time for a good reason. I'm not done with all the things I'd like to see or do.

« on: March 25, 2016, 12:39:19 AM »
Ah, tumblr gone and wacked you upside the head of a wrong definition did it? Na, see, somebody's sensitivity about their race isn't the big issue. The true issue is when people act against another person in a negative light based on their race.

Beating up somebody for no reason ain't good.

But, beating up somebody exclusively because of their race ain't good either. Making their life difficult and being a cunt to them because of their race, and treating them like they're not a human being isn't good.
