Pros: Overall better stats than Exhibit B Cons: Doesn't look quite as cool imo ('cept for the cyclops eye) Pros: Looks significantly cooler than Exhibit A Cons: Drastically lower stats in key areas (magic attack, speed) they both have the exact same abilities, and i can't have both what do

These mortal clothes upon which we wear in memory and dream all elapse in spaces, countlessly counting up and down, eye and ear in every direction, no longer concerned with the real face of this "thing." This "supreme being" we will each inevitably be. It is either this, or grazing green echoes and empty stares across endless cult and civilization, bountifully blooming prideful with under-realization, born into perfection of which all will consumed. The only true "win" is failure to breathe. Failure to select the best of these parts. Failure to toss out the weak and the weary. Failure to eat the less of these lines, for there are always only ever two: the meek, and the mighty. Do as thou will, and eat every day. Do as thou can, and luck paves thy way. While we each fill in the gaps of time-space around this entrance to Eden, drafting and dodging the next beast coalescing now ushering in a new harvesting season, commencing the final assembly. The will, the way, the impulse, and intention: inertia swallowing itself, leaving no footsteps for the serpents to follow in. These legless line-crashers and playing-the-game dodgers always contaminating these appetites with efficiency and withdraw, stripping into utter obscenity and smile, knowing full-well it'll never be worthwhile, regardless of the strict prerequisites posted at every single entrance and exit. Everyone still comes back in, so completely unprepared to adequately attend this glorious and oh-so-honorable fleshing-and fire-trial. Bodies shaped and molded so inconsistently. Minds much too pliable and mutilated beyond any real cognition. None of this was ever so unnecessary as the moment of our first admission. Yes, this is and was the only sin we ever committed. Given in grace by the divine filth of these celestial servants of inescapable ignorance. The starry-eyed mothers chasing veins of crystal, nectar, and ambrosia across endless direction and proportion, mangling minds into an elaborate contortion. The tale of twin snakes coded in limericks and lurers, washed of the blood, high-definition, and so technologically superior.

I used to be a Socialist, then I got a job at a grocery store and saw niggers getting lobsters and prime cuts of meat with their welfare checks. At that moment I realized most middle class Americans can't even afford that shit, and yet we're the ones footing the bill for them.
Which should only have strengthened your socialism.
Once you meet that special girl. Your outlook will change entirely.
Well guess what it hasn't.

Oh boy, I can't wait to prove this one wrong.
My dad liked capitalism until he got his first job. Now he's a straight-up Marxist well into his 40s.
lmao
And when I get a job, I guarantee it'll just fuel my hatred for capitalism (and life) even more. That's what I meant with my first post.

I actually mostly agree, but not 100%. I wouldn't say that school performance is completely indicative of someone's general intelligence (There are always just lazy people), but you don't think it says a little something about them? Even a tiny amount?
And believe me, the argument that "Anyone can be a good student, it's just a matter of effort" is something I know way too well personally. It's the argument I have to give myself all the time to stay motivated in school, because my courses tend to make me feel like an absolute idiot.
Well, sure, some people are definitely quicker to learn subjects like math than some unfortunate others--but I don't believe that there are people who are intrinsically incapable of doing math. At worst, you might have a slow-learner with dyscalculia who lives in a horrid learning environment and goes to a shitty public school with nearly-retired teachers who don't give a fuck. That would certainly put your chances of attending Harvard at odds with the average person--but that's a rather extreme example. And so are people who are so mentally handicapped that they can't even talk. Those are obvious exceptions. But yes, in general, I have a (perhaps uncharacterically) optimistic viewpoint when it comes to the average person's potential in an academic front. Some people are naturally brilliant--some people have to work very hard--but all of us are capable of being intelligent.

You're right. High school Dropouts are more intelligent than Ivy League Graduates
Some are. Everyone could attend an Ivy League school if they applied themselves. School grades are a measure of how much you applied yourself, nothing more. I'm friends with a Yale student who's as dumb as rocks, even though he could school me in chemistry.

These frivolous activities are what makes curing cancer worth it. Yeah, and if they played for charity's sake, and not for personal gain, they could have the best of both worlds. They're not just playing for personal gain anymore. We don't just have one or two stand-up guys like PK Subban donating millions of dollars to hospitals. We have an entire industry geared towards any number of charitable institutions. But, according to Dietrich, charity is not an incentive for most players. The players have to get their Maserati first. Can't I just believe that people are better than that?

There would literally be no point in spending your life training and conditioning yourself to be an athlete. That's why there are softball leagues for middle aged men.
Is that bad? Is it bad if no one wants to be an athlete anymore? I don't think so. That sounds like a really good thing, actually, to not have people waste their lives on some frivolous activity that won't cure cancer.

You're probably right, though. A dog rolling in the grass is probably more intelligent than playing sports.
Since when did a dog rolling in the grass raise millions of dollars for charity? Or single handily fund a hospital by giving them $10 million dollars? You seem to be forgetting that many players have charities that they play for as well as league wide charities. An example being Stand up 2 Cancer and the MLB.
That's great, but it doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't be making that much money in the first place. If MLB were a wholly non-profit organization and all the money they received went straight to charity, then that would be better. It's not like that, though.

The only people who bash sports are people who are bad at sports. They try to validate themselves by saying sports are dumb.
I'm pretty decent at Street Fighter, but I can admit that playing Street Fighter as much as I do is a pretty dumb waste of time. It goes for all forms of entertainment--all of it. It's all a waste.

Do you think I'm going to accept your retarded argument where you call sports stupid when it's blindingly obvious you have no idea what you're talking about? I know more about everything than you do about anything, and yes, liking the sports industry makes you stupid as all fuck. It doesn't matter who you are. I'm sorry that hurts your feelings, but your feelings have nothing to do with the truth. I don't even know why I'm continuing this retarded conversation when you think rolling in the grass is equivalent to professional athletes playing a sport. It accomplishes precisely the same amount of nothing, so they have no meaningful distinction. You're probably right, though. A dog rolling in the grass is probably more intelligent than playing sports. I'm not complicit in anything. The industry does very little wrong, this is all in your mind. Billions of dollars wasted on useless games that don't accomplish anything is worse than basically everything. It's a sport. People like to play it, people like to play it competitively. It's interesting to watch people play it competitively, and people had the smart idea of making money off it. There's nothing stupid about it. Everything you described is stupid to the highest degree. Competition is one of the many blights of civilization. Good for you. It's not good at all.

It's dumb because what people enjoy does not show how intelligent or wise someone is. You're doing this thing again where you just say things but you don't actually explain why or how or anything about it. Do you think I'm just going to take your word for it? Complicit in what? The industry. The only reason there's an industry at all is because there are tens of millions of dumb idiot sports fans to support it. If no one watched professional league sports, there would be no sports industry. Go ahead play and watch and enjoy sports all you want--but it's stupid to build an industry out of it, and it's stupid to support said industry. I've never seen you do that, but whatever you say.
The point is that there's nothing under the sun that I don't hate. Do you expect me to be the kind of person who's totally cool with the jewelry industry? I don't have to actively condemn it to condemn it in my mind. The reason I don't talk about it is because it's not relevant and no one's interested. The things I rant about on this website are subjects that most people here can sink their teeth into, and we can have a real discussion about it. The jewelry industry? Not so much. I wish I had more time in my day to devote to all the stupid shit in the world, but I don't.

Whoever said fun is a measure of intelligence? I mean, to an extent, it is. I don't disagree with some of the arguments made.
But to say you're stupid because you enjoy playing with a ball is just, well, dumb. Is it dumb because the notion offends you? Because that doesn't actually matter. I think you conflate the fact that the perceived wrongdoings of the industry is the fault of the people watching athletes play the sport. It isn't. You're still complicit. Why pick on sports as a waste or misuse of money and time? Why not the legimately evil jewel industry? Where there's actual slave labor and murder to sell people shiny rocks.
I do condemn the jewelry industry. I condemn everything. Sports are just a more relevant topic that hits home with more people.
