The Flood / Re: Study Stress
« on: February 08, 2017, 11:45:23 AM »
Honestly I think your faggot sibling needs to pick up the slack.

Would you like living with your grandparents? How would your father feel about this?
I would dearly love the little bastard to do so, or at the very least stop causing so much other shit for the family with his endless stupidity. We got rid of one problem by shipping him off to mother's, and now this retard decides he's going to step up to the plate in the degeneracy olympics.

I'd love to live there honestly.

The difference it makes when you are in a home with people who genuinely appreciate things you do for them, is astounding. Here it feels more like being a caretaker in a building full of autistic chimpanzees.

The only problem with me going there, is that shit would fall apart in the asylum. The dogs would never get walked, barely get fed on time, let alone have any interaction from people. The grocery delivery wouldn't happen and food would quite literally fester in the fridge because they can't be fucked to throw it away.

I'm just tired of it really. Absolutely exhausted with their unhelpful selfish attitudes.

That's when you put your foot down matey. When you're doing something charitable or "nice" for somebody, or even a job in general, there's always something very important to consider. Especially if it's a job.

If somebody gives you shit, ask yourself. "Am I being paid for this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to leave. Let people fend for themselves and their own choices.

Never had study stress but I get you. For stretches of time back at home when I was trying to do my own thing, the one thing that pushed my buttons was interruptions. Phone calls, shit happening, problems, yada yada.

If it started pushing on me and I felt like murdering somebody I put my foot down and left for someplace quiet. And I made a point to make it known that's what my day was going to be. Reserved for me and just me.

Park out in the woods somewhere or just stop by my town's library. I guess in your case maybe stop buy a park.

From the trailers alone, Atriox seems like a badass and memorable enemy.

I'm gonna use this post as an anchor to bring up a random thought I had today.

Happened to be thinking about all we know about Brutes. We know that they're deadly in their own right but when you throw one into the mix who has above average intelligence they become incredibly dangerous.

And I got around to thinking, that of all the various species shown in the series, even though Brutes stand out less in terms of uniqeness (not reptilian, crustacean, or insectoid, or other) and they don't have a unique spin on their physiology like other races, I think something else sets them apart and makes them terrifying as a concept.

They're us. They're all the primal instincts and raw strength. They're the old barbaric practices in our history and the crude practices we have today. As a concept they touch onto the darker corners of what we are as a species, with the only difference being that they do it better.

Which is exactly why 343i are going to kill him off on the front cover.

First mission as a matter of fact.

First mission background radio comms to be precise.

I probably missed your point Verb but it did make me realize on reflection that I lived a life differently than well over 90% of people here.

Probably the only common thing we share is that we've computers to talk over long distances.

I draw the line on not taking things for granted. I had a vehicle. And I had a lot of occassions where I could have used it for simpler things. Driving around town to pick up shit. I always told myself, "I've got legs, I can walk."

I think you should ditch that shit tier food and try the new all bleach diet. It works wonders for your life.

Serious / Re: Ricky Gervais and Stephen Colbert debate religion
« on: February 06, 2017, 05:23:07 PM »
I really liked Gervais' rebuttal of the "science is just a different god" argument - that if you destroyed all religious texts they'd never resurface, but that if you destroyed all scientific texts, they'd eventually start to be rediscovered.
It's already happened once with the Medieval times to the Renaissance in Europe.

Is this referring to the popular conception of the dark ages? Because the idea that knowledge was somehow lost and then found again later is historically inaccurate. The supposed dark age didn't experience a decline in scholarship and rationality; the existence and characterization of the "dark age" is itself considered a popular myth.
In the Medieval period in Western Europe, technology was indeed lost that the Western Romans had, that later moved over to the East with Constantinople. That technology was reintroduced into the West at a much later date.

I'm not saying technology didn't advance, because obviously one only look at warfare to see that's not true. But it's silly to act like nothing was lost, especially something as simple as basic hygiene, and sewer systems. Obviously this is a problem when a massive empire collapses rapidly, and thus all trade, infrastructure, institutions and population declined rapidly. That led to fractured governments, and no one could really make the effort to do what Rome did for a long time.

We had to wait for Charlameme to actually promote schools and universities again, and promote education, as the only record keeping since Rome fell was Monks in churches.

Also can't forget the blatent fearmongering and hatred for ideas that challenged the churches as well. Wasn't called the dark ages so much because of what was lost, but because of the iron grip that shitty ideas and standards held over any scientific progress at the time.

This is also a myth. In the early middle ages, the church (various sects throughout east and west Europe) was the sole bastion of knowlege and literature following the fall of Rome until the reformation.

Can I know where you're getting that from? Because the last sources I know of on the dark ages point to most churches giving early scientists or people with progressive ideas a hard time on their views.

I'm not saying the churches didn't keep literature but I don't think it's unfair to say that they were probably secretive or selective with their usage of it. The churches in those eras didn't play so nice.

Well no, I don't keep a list of early middle ages history sources handy. A quick search of it should clear it up, and I'm on my phone.

Could you be referring to times around the reformation, like the 15th/16th century? The church got pretty draconian around then.

That might've been the timeframe I was thinking of.

Everybody jokes that Halo Wars was Babies first RTS. If that's the case do you think I could play the second one with only one hand?

I'm going to violently murder every single one of you.

No need for such extreme measures. Just cough in my general direction and that should do the trick.

But I mean feel free to go on a violent rampage after that.

What part of the body is that? I seriously can't tell.

My inspection leads me to believe it's on a back shoulder blade fat roll.

The Flood / Re: Could you kill a man?
« on: February 06, 2017, 12:18:20 AM »
I don't even like getting into scuffles with people. There's only one scenario I make exception to. Somebody assaults or grievously harms family or friends of mine then I have no restrictions. If family or friends were killed, then there'd be no place they could go that I wouldn't search for.

To be honest with you, I was considering it in october when my friend was killed. He was killed by a drunk driver. Not intentionally, I know. But I wasn't far off from checking out of the hospital and finding the driver's name.

I stopped thinking about it once I realized that the driver would likely live with that for the rest of his life. It would be more pain than anything I could do to him. And killing him would just get him a free ticket out of dealing with the consequences of his actions.

If you think Japan is what you see of the cities then you're not seeing the whole deal.

There's a big divide between the old and the new. Younger and older generations. Cities vs small rural communities.

I remember stumbling onto the shower scene from It as a kid. That was fun.

And then there was a weird one. I found the second Alien movie on the tv as a kid, and while I was scared shitless I just kept watching because I landed at the part where ripley got into the exo suit to fight the queen and in some weird way seeing her scared shitless but still fighting enabled me to watch the movie until the end.
