If he has been ousted, we just have to hope that he's replaced by someone better rather than someone worse ._.

No joke I'd probably laugh if somebody worse stepped in. Putin is the sort of guy who got shit done. And you can see it in him plain as day. This was somebody who could for the most part, walk their talk.

Compared to the majority of other world leaders out there, Putin was a guy who wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty.

So if somebody took him out, especially killed him, then it would be a telling sign that no, things won't be looking up just yet.

You mean how he fucked up the ruble and kept Russians poor and ignorant while funding terrorists and psycho heads of state.

TWO BIG THUMBS UP

You mean like how not even three comments up I just stated that I wasn't commenting so much on his leadership or direction skills but more on his transparency and "give no fucks" attitude? He's bold, and doesn't dance around in politics. Doesn't let red tape get in his way.

He's an asshole. Bad at managing his country. But what I mean by get shit done, is the fact he has drive and ambition. Just not the right head for things.

He's not a pushover like other world leaders. He's not all wired up in civilities and pleasantries. He's a barebones, down to business kind of person with no bullshit in between.

Like I said. He's an asshole. But just, ever so slightly admirable because compared to other world leaders out there, he's down to earth in a sense. He's plain.


TWO BIG THUMBS UP

Watcha mean, was?

I still have mine. 92 Ford Ranger. Not as heavy duty as other trucks but it gets things done. Had it for 5 years now. I intend to fix it when it breaks.

Here's my wager. So long as Cheat's entertained or has the funds to keep it going, then this place will keep going. And I honestly think that it will.

Look at how shitty Bungie.Net is. And it's still rolling. I mean, fuck, if that place can still stand up on two legs, then surely this place can as well.

However.

What I do think will happen, over time, is that people will leave. Members will become busy. Life will interrupt or they'll grow tired of spending so much time here. And they'll slow down, or hang their hat up.

But in their place, no doubt, new folks will show up. It's exactly like Bungie.Net in the wake of the exodus of a fair number of the older members.

New ones arrived to take their place.

Barring any great drama shitstorm aside, or some legal action, I figure this place will be around for a while. It's just that some faces won't be around forever.

I visited Bnet and wanted to stab myself in the hands.

And yet despite how shitty it is. There it is.

Even though the drama and shit stirring here can be tiresome, we're certainly not as low on the bar as the current state of affairs over there.

Right. I suppose I'll dump this here. Another opening to one of my stories in progress.

I can't be arsed to remember old names or to be even fully sure who you're referring to. But, it's probably the same old story as usual.

People roll forwards. Time finds itself in shorter incriments for people. And the changing of the old site, didn't sit right with a lot of people.

And, not only that. Not even counting the fact that it's all so predictable, but you're following your own pattern right now. I'd give it two weeks. Maybe three. Before you start to crack again and then you get real pissy.

You've gone up and put your walls up now, like you have before, with some sense of humor, some sense that your care free attitude will deflect things away from your person. When it won't. In fact it'll just perpetrate things.

The more you react, the more it edges people on. The more they bite and snap, the closer you get to having that one person fire off something that breaks through those cracks of yours and sets you off.

Honestly. All I can say is this.

If you're posting, for the sake of perpetrating your own viscous circle.

If you're posting in some attempt to keep your walls up, like you have before.

If you're posting here because you think you can beat it, that you won't fall apart, that you won't be a mess, that you won't continue the trend of "you vs everybody."

Then stop. That's it. That's all there is to it. There is, always, a time to stop, think, and put your foot down.

Call it quits. Go off, and do something constructive with your time. Don't sit around here and stew in bullshit.

Get up, rip yourself free of it, and make something of yourself instead.

There is nothing better for me to do. I did join here originally to be a part of everyone, before I was considered to be a joke. Too bad I can't unwind time and prevent all the bullshit that occurred 10 months ago.

It doesn't matter if I'm even here or not. It's going to keep going. People won't let it die. I'm not here a fight it.

This is me pretty much surrendering to it. The white flag. A truce.

At this point I have absolutely nothing to lose aside from this resurrected account, and I can always switch IP's. It's not hard.

Why perpetrate it. Why? Because it's the easiest road to take. You've nothing to do otherwise?

Then fix it.

Don't take the easy road on this. Because it's just so easy to go onto the internet and make people upset. It's just so easy, to take five minutes out of your spare time, to write something with the intent of making somebody upset.

What does that say, of people's heads? What does that say of them, when they choose that?

Some will say, that, "Oh, boo hoo, it's only the internet."

But they're wrong. They're so wrong that it's not even funny. While it is the internet, what they're saying are words. They're saying words with the intent to upset, to annoy, and aggravate. Because they know people out there will fall for it.

And it's not the people's fault who fall for it. Because our entire language, everything we are, is words.

Music is written down on sheets. Music that cheers you up. Music that puts you down.

Movies, TV shows with characters that make you cry and laugh, were written by somebody.

Books, beloved by people, kids, adults, you name it, were written.

And all of those written things, make people feel something. Those words, create something in people. So while people may laugh and say, "Oh it's not serious, it's just a joke."

They're the one's who're fucked. They're the ones who take joking around too far. And they do it all because they're safe. Because there's little to no consequence. They do it because it's easy. They do it because quite far down inside, in that sub conscious of theirs, they are, with no doubt, weak of will. Essentially, cowards in hiding.

Don't take the easy road on this because it's insulting. It's running away. And not only that but it's not an escape. It never is. Life will always pull at you no matter how far you run.

Instead of wasting your time here, your days, your hours, time of your life that you can never, ever get back.

Get up and fix things instead. Fix things, in your life that you don't agree with. Work on it. Fight it. Because spending time here, like this, will do more harm than good.

Sandtrap you are correct with many of the things said here, but in this case, with Sep7agon, it is just the internet. There's no point in trying to make a change if the rest of the community won't make a change themselves.

Oh but you don't see the point. You missed my point.

Why are you here? Why am I here? Why are, every single person who's maintened some presence on this site, here?

Some come to laugh at posts. To joke around and take it easy. Some come on here to start trouble. Some come here, to write what's on there head. Talk about what they know, and share with people talk on similar subjects.

Why?

90% of the people here, have something wrong in their lives. Some may know it plain as day. Some may hide from it and tell themselves and delude themselves that it's all cheer and fine. That they're superior.

And what can they do here?

Talk to a stranger from across the world. Talk to a friend, from across the world.

Find a comfort in their lives in talking. And this is irrefutable because if they didn't take any sort of comfort from talking here, then nobody would post here.

I'll tell you why I'm still here. I'm sentimental. As solitary as I am, as much as I'd just like to be own my own, I am alone. And it doesn't sit right with me. I'm alone with my troubles. Alone with my ideas. Alone and completely alone.

There's a hole in my life that can be temporarily filled, by coming here, and talking to people.

Because it puts my head at ease of the reality that I sit in. It's a comfort. A routine. A familiarity.

And it's the same for you. There's a hole in your life. And you're avoiding it, by coming here. By staying here, glued to the screen. And do you know why you explode? Why you get upset?

Because you know that you're glued to the screen. You know that you're running away from it. You know, that no matter how much time you spend here, good, or bad, that you're still stuck in your rut.

And it frustrates you. Because you become aware of it, just barely. You become aware that you're wasting your time here when you should, and could, be doing something else in your life.

You say it's just the internet but it's a lot more than that.

I'm not saying to fix the community. I'm not saying to try and make this place better.

I'm saying wake up.

So... you want me to just leave?

Key thing here. Did I leave? Did Gojira leave? Did Smiggles leave? Think of people who don't post very often anymore. They don't post, because they're busy. Their lives are moving. They post, from rarely, to not often. But they've still a presence here.

No I'm not saying to leave. I haven't left entirely. I'm working two jobs. My life is going to be busy this spring and summer. But It's rather obvious to see, that I'm not posting as frequently anymore. I still come back, because I enjoy coming back. You don't have to be broken inside to post small talk, and enjoy some time with people over the internet.

But what I'm doing, at least I can say it of myself, is focusing on myself. Focusing on my time. Focusing on what I can do with my time instead of coming here. Focusing on what I can fix and how I can fight it.

I'm not saying to leave. I'm saying to look at your, personal life, and do something better. Find something to occupy your time. Something constructive. Something fun. Something that makes you happy.

Heyo. Make it even better. Some of them might be right. But what are they personally going to do about it? Unless you've an undesirable quality that sucks so much and they hate so much enough to track you down and off you, they really can't do shit.

Well, technically, they can. Dustbin takes his job as an internet police officer seriously.

But, even still, chances are, all they can do is bitch in your general direction.

Which, to be fair, is redundant since that's what people most often would normally do under normal circumstances.

Basically. They may be right. They may be wrong.

But they won't ever do anything about it anyway.

Honestly this is just another shit thread, in response to the general consensus that I'm a joke. And if I'm a joke, so is the entire site honestly, hence I post garbage instead of a constructive thread.

Before I would be upset when people tell me to stfu, now it puts a smile on my face.

Hmm. It'll get tiring you know. It'll get tiring to see the same things from people. Played out, worn down, and old. Especially if it's negative. Because it's so easy to fall back to, so easy to expect that it's a joke.

Not only that, but it's a tired joke. It's a smile but shake your head kind of joke. You're laughing, humored, because it was so tiredly expected, and then happened as called.

Personally, if it were me, I'd opt to make things better.

At this point, giving into that is just letting things slide down the slope further.

Here. Lemme help. If you're feeling lonely do something productive you couch potato.

Key words before everybody gets up in arms.

"Work in progress."

If you folks know anything about how a game works, doing lighting tests is important.

Beating them with a chair would be far more satisfying. Or bare hands too.

All I can say is, you better make sure you are stronger than the bad guy(s). A gun puts everyone on the same playing field..

 Let's say three people break into a man's house who is paralyzed from the waste down.. Do you honestly think he can physically fight off the three intruders with his bare hands? No, but with a gun and some basic usage training, he can.

And don't bring up rare cases, like the one that occurred in Africa.. That man was clearly a moron..

Implying that he'd primarily use his legs to fight or even move. Just about anything around you can be turned into a weapon. Throw something hard enough and it'll hurt. Of course, somebody who's paralyzed has less mobility. That doesn't stop him from having a can of bear spray on him. A tazer. Knives.

So long as you've got your hands and a good head you've got some decent chances.

And saying that a gun puts people on an even playing field is bullshit. It puts one on one encounters with people on an even playing field. But what the fuck is going to stop three guys with guns when you've only one gun?

Unless you've got something that fits your situation like a shotgun. Guns come in so many types that it's not actually an even playing field. Not at all. Two guys with revolvers is an even playing field.

A guy with a shotgun over a guy with a revolver is not.

A guy with an assault rifle over three guys with assault rifles is not.

It all depends on how you use your head. Not what amount of firepower you have. Unless somebody is expressly breaking into your home to murder you, then you're in trouble if you've a knife and you're in a wheelchair.

But overall, up here, there are more scenarios involving things other than guns. It all depends on what fucked up part of the world you live in really.

Fuck yeah offshore politics!

It sounds like you've been emotionally compromised.

"Sir we've got an emotional breach up by the brain, please suggest immidiate course of action."

"Divert emotions to secondary pilot and give full control."

"Aye sir, balls it is."

But I'm not social. Plus I deleted my youtube account lol.

A youtube account isn't needed to use plug.

Ya but it is what I used if I ever, rarely played any music on there. In which case now I can't be arsed to dig shit up. Long story short.

What if I'm one handing it?

one handing requires more strength which means more mlg

goddammit I've been putting it all in dex and endurance

you damn fig claymore is strength weapon
level strength for more damage off strength scaling

Actually the Claymore benifits from both strength and dex scaling the most. It's a god teir all rounder.
