Gaming / anyone else's steam fucked?
« on: January 17, 2015, 08:52:34 PM »
fuck steam; steam sucks

there's been this ongoing glitch, not sure if it's this way for anyone else, but

in my friends list, where it shows you everyone who isn't currently online, it's supposed to tell you for how long that that person has been offline for

so, maybe one of my friends logs off five minutes ago--it should read, "Last Online: 5 minutes ago"
meanwhile, there's someone who hasn't logged in for a long-ass time. "Last Online: 135 days ago"

except sometimes, it does this shit:

Person A - Last Online: 1 hour ago
Person B - Last Online: 1 hour ago
Person C - Last Online: 1 hour ago
Person D - Last Online: 1 hour ago
Person E - Last Online: 1 hour ago
Person F - Last Online: 1 hour ago

you get the idea
what the fuck is with this

every time i sit through one of steam's fucking weekly-ass updates, i think to myself, "hey, maybe they fixed this shit"

and then they don't. this has been going on for months.

WHY

The Flood / What makes a song good for you?
« on: January 10, 2015, 10:52:05 AM »
This is the most basic thread I've ever made.

When it comes to music, what do you look for? Lyrics? A good beat? The message? Do you listen to songs just for their catchy hooks? Does it have to reflect how you're feeling at the time, or do you only like to listen to happy/sad songs? Do you just not care, as long as it sounds good in some nebulous way to you?

What DON'T you like? For me, it's... boring/unoriginal/uninspiring lyrics, beats, melodies... I think if the lyrics are bad, that takes a huge hit from the song's quality for me. It can be really catchy, but if the lyrics are vapid, then the message is vapid, so the song is vapid.

I'm compiling a top 10 list for my site, and I compiled the top 10, but I'm having trouble writing precisely what it is I like about what I'm hearing, beyond just superficial terms. I thought this would be easy, but I guess I need some inspiration.

The Flood / bad forum habits
« on: January 06, 2015, 07:24:29 PM »
i have this thing where whenever i post something

i can't stop editing it

even if i put a lot of thought into the post, i always feel like it isn't perfectly worded or phrased, so i constantly edit it to make it better, never to be satisfied

i only stop when i get a reply

The Flood / Endings of things that you actually enjoyed.
« on: January 06, 2015, 09:29:25 AM »
You know, GOOD endings.

Everyone complains about endings. Makes me wonder if there are actually any that have fucking satisfied you.

Me, I'm not one to get disappointed by endings. I've never been upset about any ending... ever. Not to such an extent that I was like, "Ugh, they should have done it completely different. I'm going to be all upset about this."

The Flood / (☠) Facebook sucks
« on: January 04, 2015, 01:28:43 AM »
(☠) = verb's making a shitpost, oh wow.
well, as shitposty as you'll ever see me get.
these rants will be poorly constructed and really... angry and sweary, so, if that's not your deal, stay away.

Fuck these fucks.

Thanks for messaging me "what's up" at fucking 2:00 AM, Mr. person that I spoke to maybe twice in my sophomore year of high school!

Small talk is pretty lame.
Small talk on the internet? i would rather vigorously fuck myself with a cheese grater

here's a PSA

if you message someone over facebook, actually have something to say
don't look for conversation
give conversation

because i'm not going to pretend like i give a fuck about how wasted you got last night
and i know you don't actually give a fuck about what i've been doing in college

so either bring me something to talk about if you're going to talk to me, or don't talk to me
that may sound self-centered and douche-y, but it's not, because i would never do that to someone

if i message you, i'm gonna make sure that i have something big to tell you

imagine if i messaged you "what's up" at complete random. how would you react? i doubt you'd get irritated, but you'd probably think something like, "uhh, what the fuck?"

so
don't do that

Serious / (☠) Anti-natalism
« on: December 30, 2014, 05:55:25 PM »
☠ BEWARE -- Gloom & Doom -- BEWARE ☠

Yeah, I'm gonna do this again. With the new Serious rules, discussion should play out much easier in this atmosphere.

You know what it is, you know my position on it. I want counterarguments, and I want them good.

If you don't know what anti-natalism is...
Read a fucking book.
But seriously...
This is going to be quick and perfunctory, and maybe a little sloppy, because I'm honestly tired of having to elucidate this to people.

The anti-natalist position is a philosophical opposition to the replication of the human species (this can also be extended to animals in a philosophy known as "efilism", but that's a much broader topic that we will not be discussing here. At least, I have no interest right now.

Anti-natalists do not support reproduction for a number of reasons--the most commonly cited is the overpopulation of the planet (7.2 billion strong, going on 7.3 billion). Personally, I take a more ethical standpoint. Having children is wrong on an ethical level, because unborn children cannot give consent for their birth. Thus, we force them into existence for one reason or another--mostly due to our selfish desires.

I posit that there is no reason to have children whatsoever. The survival of the species is vastly irrelevant and is a pointless, futile, and insidious cause. We don't need to survive. The fact is, our reality is rife with horror, destruction, and suffering--that alone should be enough reason not to drag newcomers in, as if they'd like it here. The notion that having children is at all necessary or needed is a contrived farce built, again, by our own selfish, delusion, carnal desires. We are biologically predisposed to want to proliferate the species, but we are also intelligent enough to think about just what it is we are doing.

And it pisses me off that we are still stuck acting like fucking animals for no good reason.

Having kids is wrong.

You either agree or you disagree with that statement, but only one of them is the reality.

Serious / Answering Meta's question from a couple months ago
« on: December 29, 2014, 06:32:05 PM »
Since I was unbanned, I took it upon myself to search up my username here--to see how much discussion of myself has taken place in my wake. Because I do like a good stroke of the ego every once in awhile. You are all such nice people.

Then I found that, soon after I was banned, Meta had actually made a thread addressed to me, but I couldn't respond to him because of my having been banned. So, I'll take the liberty of responding now, because I'm not a guy who just... doesn't respond to queries posed to him.
Quote
Assume we live in some sort of techno-socialist utopia. Bio-ethics is ridden with abolitionism and utilitarianism; suffering simply doesn't exist anymore.

However, despite all of this amazing technological progress, suffering is offered as a choice to people. 100% of the population cause themselves to suffer in varying degrees at various point in their life.

If this were true - take it to be - would procreation still be immoral, and would suffering be still inherently undesirable in your mind?
It would still be immoral. 100% of the population submits to suffering? Doesn't sound like a choice to me.

See, you simply cannot use terms like "choice" and "100%" together like that. If I flip a coin ten times, for example, and get heads every single time, I can't say that there's a 100% chance of getting heads. Indeed, if I flipped a coin for all 7.2 billion people living on Earth right now, and I got heads 7.2 billion times, I still can't say that the coin has a 100% chance of getting heads.

The fact is, there will be at least one instance down the line where the other option is flipped. This is called statistical inevitability. There will be one outlier who will say, "Holy FUCK. This 'suffering' thing seems really fucking dumb, and I don't think I'll submit myself to it."

If I don't play devil's advocate and apply hard realism to the scenario (which I know you hate when I do), and play your scenario exactly as you... may have intended it, and literally every single human being submits to the suffering, then that cannot be described as a choice under any rational, cogent definition of the word.

Spoiler
Also, as an aside, someone in the thread made a comment with regards to my ban--and I'm paraphrasing:
"he tried to fight the law, and the law won"

Septagon / Give users the ability to lock their own threads.
« on: December 24, 2014, 02:26:03 PM »
Simple request. It seems arbitrary that a lot of OPs will end up asking mods to lock threads for them after heavy derailment, and mods aren't always online. Giving users the ability to lock their own threads would solve this problem--and I've seen this done on a number of forums I've been to.

However, make it so if a user locks his or her own thread, he or she cannot then unlock it. They'd have to request a higher-up to do it for them (namely a monitor).

Ultimately, if a user creates a thread, I think it should be up to him and the mods as to how long the discussion can go.

Gaming / I just played Halo with my friends
« on: December 24, 2014, 12:26:20 AM »
Four of us just playing Halo. I'm usually pretty bad--in the past, I'd always get last place in slayer matches and I'd be lucky to get more than like, five kills.

This time, I actually had a lot of fun. I got better, apparently. I won a third of the games we played and got my first killing spree (ever). I was only in last place once, but that was when we played on some weird map that required you to commit suicide first, and I didn't realize until halfway into the match.

Then we just fucked about on custom maps that they all made seven years ago. This is us meeting up after us having not seen each other for months, by the way.

But even after all that--even after me getting better and having legitimate fun playing Halo with my friends, I still think that Halo fucking sucks. Because it does.

So... Guess it's NOT just because I suck, huh.

The Flood / boring, incoherent blog/rant
« on: December 18, 2014, 12:58:02 AM »
also a really angry and depressing one, so
if you're having a good day, don't let me rain on it

I already know none of you are gonna take this seriously, so I don't expect serious or thoughtful responses, but regardless, I'm in the worst mood I've ever been in... well, about a week. And I feel like taking some people down with me.

For some of you, I'm gonna sound like a broken record, because I talk about this all the fucking time, but it just eats and eats at me and when it peaks, I just go fucking insane because I can't handle it.

So...

I just got my grades back for my first semester of college. Straight As, except for one B-. That's not bad, huh? That's good. Yeah.
Until you look at the classes I took.
Well, I didn't take these classes--they were given to me using this "first year experience" block system that we do.

Introduction to Film.
Introduction to Literature.
United States Since 1865.
Freshman Seminar.

Not so special now, huh. Normally, I'd be pretty happy--I mean, I've never had straight As in my life, because I always slacked off in high school. It was bad. But now things are changing. I'm doing my work, getting things done, and everything's dandy.

But then I have all these people--mostly on the Internet, but I get this in real life, too, all the time--who just like to put me down. My grades mean nothing, because I'm studying such a useless subject that's not going to get me a lucrative career in the future. Because that's all that I should care about is money.

No, don't be yourself, don't follow your dreams. Be like us. Go into some STEM subject that you have no interest in. Then you can actually make money and people will care about you.

...But what if I have no interest in any of those subjects? What if I can't do math and don't have any background with engineering? What if I have this talent for writing that I'd like to explore and hone?

Doesn't matter. If you aren't studying STEM, enjoy flipping burgers for the rest of your life. Your grades mean nothing, because you're studying a pointless subject.

Okay, so what you're telling me to do is switch to some kind of engineering major, just like everyone the FUCK else in my generation, to go into a career that I don't have my heart in, have no interest in whatsoever, just so that I can make more money?

Yes.

What if that doesn't make me happy? Writing makes me happy. I was quite happy with my major until you decided to piss all over everything that I enjoy. The one thing that I enjoy in the world--THE ONE THING--I can't enjoy it, because it's not "practical".

Yes.

You realize I've given myself purpose with writing, right? And if I had it taken away from me, I would have no purpose, right?

Oh, quit being dramatic. Who doesn't like money?

I fucking hate money. And I fucking hate you, and your pretentious cocksuckery. I'm going to continue with my major, and I don't give a cunt what you think about it. This notion that I have to study some shitty STEM subject--that I HAVE to do what everyone else is doing just to make a living, is a fucking joke. I fucking hate life as it is. Why make myself even MORE miserable by committing myself to a subject that I don't have a single iota of fucking interest in?

It makes me want to just spit blood into your shit-eating face. Find me a single goddamn subject--Hey, law, I could totally go into law. I love law. "Well, you'd have to go out of state, and take another two years or four years of college..." If that's what I fucking want to do, though, why does it FUCKING matter? What the fuck do you want from me? This is horseshit.

Everything that I want to do, I can't do it.
Everything that I like, everything that makes me happy.
I'm just wasting my time with it, huh.
I should be even more miserable, because fuck me and my interests.
And you wonder why I lash out at people for their interests?

This was supposed to be a happy moment for me, but because of society's perceptions of worth, I can't be. Sometimes, I like to convince myself that I was just born in the body and mind of a person who just doesn't belong here--that I wasn't conditioned to be who I was. The more and more I get to know society, however, the more I discover that it's actually the latter that's true. Society is not to blame for all my idiosyncrasies, but I know in my heart that there is not a single thing that society can do to discourage me from doing what I want to do with my life.

I will continue being made to feel useless.
I will continue being made to feel like I'm wasting my life.
I will continue to be harassed by cocksuckers and STEM elitists.

And I will continue to respond, as I always have, in the same exact way:

Fuck you.

Fuck off.

level 2 - Rest
level 3 - Defense Curl
level 4 - Fake Tears
level 5 - Frustration
level 6 - Work Up
level 7 - Spite
level 8 - Mean Look
level 9 - Baton Pass
level 10 - Worry Seed
level 11 - Glare

level 13 - Happy Hour
level 14 - Slack Off
level 15 - Chip Away
level 16 - Dragon Rage, Splash
level 17 - Calm Mind
level 18 - Doom Desire
level 19 - Struggle

Once you figure it out, you can try, too.
I summarized my life with Pokémon attacks.
Each level represents one year of my life.

You try. You don't have to be super literal--have fun, be creative. Mix your offline and online personas if you have to, or make separate ones for both. Personally, I focused almost entirely on my offline persona--it's hard to judge the year in which I began using the Internet extensively.

And feel free to skip years if you don't think anything substantial happened, or at least, nothing that can be described with an attack. You can have two attacks in one level, too. No more than that, though. You can also, like, learn the same attack again--Smeargle does that. But I wouldn't recommend doing that.

« on: December 09, 2014, 02:09:46 PM »
Simple question. You're given the Internet kill switch. Do you flip it?

I had this conversation with my father, and he'd be dead-set on ending the Internet. He doesn't think it has any value whatsoever (I don't agree) and society would be better off without it.

Most of you are going to say "fuck no," but I think there's at least some discussion to be had. I'm not gonna say whether I'd press it or not, but I will say that I'd consider it carefully. It wouldn't be an easy choice for me, either way.

« on: December 07, 2014, 10:10:51 PM »
You know, for Christmas.

The only game I'd really play is Smash. I have no interest whatsoever in anything else.

I'm just part of this small Smash community, and they refuse to play the 3DS version now that the console version is out. :(

I bought the first Wii for Brawl and only Brawl, and I ended up purchasing a lot of its games in the future and generally enjoyed the console for what it was. The Wii U, though... It's... something else.

Thoughts appreciated...

I'm pretty proud of that subtitle.

This one's pretty straightforward, but the idea is to knock out a whole bunch, hence the title.

Do you use any of the following terms unironically?
-lel
-kek
-topkek
-the "lenny face"
-any variation of the above
-edgy*
-edge*
-any variation*
Do you find Internet memes to be a legitimate source for humor?
Do I like you as a poster? This one's rhetorical, I can figure this one out myself. Basically, how much I like you as a poster could put a damper over my desire to cull you from my grand perception.

PROGRESS SO FAR!
If I've already dealt with you, don't waste your time.
