ahh

Is this the first time music like this has been used in a Metal Gear game?... Seems kinda surreal.

Apparently, the theater only takes a small fraction of the profits. Makes sense. I guess that's not so bad, then.

I don't know, it doesn't seem right to me. Like, at all. Because... it's not their fault the movie sucked.

I guess I'd have to know the dividends and shit first. How much of the money goes to the studio itself?

You don't lose your money; if you leave before halfway they'll usually refund your ticket or replace it with a free ticket for something else.
Never heard of this. I probably couldn't bring myself to do that anyway. Seems entitled.

I still want Cheat to make it so you could organize your likes received page, so that your highest liked posts will show up first.

I dunno, that shit interests me, and it's a good way to look back and laugh at the funnier convos you've had.

I kinda feel like legalization would totally burn out contemporary weed culture in a few years or so.
I kinda get that feeling, too, actually.

But I dunno. There's still "alcohol culture". We don't normally think of it like that, but it's there.

I'd love to hear your oh-so-wonderful alternatives. Please tell.
Not alternatives--supplements. Better education of what these drugs are and what they do to you. Abolishing (or reform) of propagandist institutions such as DARE, who use misinformation and scare tactics to try and get kids off drugs.

Basically what Aria was talking about.

« on: September 21, 2015, 09:07:10 PM »
It's possible to enjoy the Christmas season without Santa. It just is. I don't really like the idea of lying to my kids, for any reason whatsoever. I remember absolutely resenting my parents when I discovered the truth.

That said, if my partner so happens to disagree with my outlook, I can grit my teeth and put up with lying to my kid.
But I won't like it.
You want kids?
I'm open to adoption.

Well, I'm ajar to adoption.

I was treating the situation as a hypothetical, anyway.

So unless you have a viable contention against minimum age restrictions, what exactly is your fucking problem then?
Your implication that it's a "good enough" solution.

"But I never said it was good enough."

Yeah yeah. Whatever.

Where exactly did you get the impression I did?
Your very first post.
Something something "this is why we have age laws".

The implication being that it's a great idea. It's not a great idea--it's a mediocre one. Certainly nothing worth posting about in adulation, but whatever. Apparently you weren't doing that. Okay.

Okay, but that's still not a viable justification to not make it significantly more problematic for 'dumbfuck' teenagers to endeavour in their dumbfuck activities.
Again--I'm not arguing against it. Really, I'm just making fun of the fact that you're under the impression that age restrictions, as ineffective as they are, are some great solution. Enough to adulate them in your first post in this thread.

Please tell me of the black market alcohol trade since the National Minimum Age Drinking Act was introduced.
It's not just black markets. I shouldn't have to explain how dumbfuck teenagers being dumbfuck teenagers might be somewhat of a problem. There are kids who fucking sneak alcohol from their parents. That's how retarded teenagers are.

I'm saying that age requirements significantly make it more difficult to obtain certain kinds of substances.
And therefore more dangerous, too.

You myopic fuck.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have them, either--I'm just saying it's stupid to act like it's this brilliant solution. It isn't.

Well, there you go.

I meant in the sense that you could never take one puff of marijuana and be addicted, physically or otherwise. Like you said--it has to be habitual, so that necessitates frequent usage. That's what I was getting at.
And I'm against habitual usage of drugs, as should any person. There aren't any drugs that give benefits when used habitually, whether it be ibuprofen, penicillin, or pot.
Well, good. I would obviously extend that to any and all recreational usage, but why would anyone listen to that.

Except that it is. Don't shrug it off. Tell me what you personally gain from sitting down, spending time, and playing a round of games, excluding personal enjoyment and thoughts.

What do you physically gain in your life, beyond being sedentry, and potentially introducing yourself to new avenues of diseases that have developed as a result of people who take gaming too far?
I'm in absolutely no danger of that, so don't even worry about it.

Anyways...

- Games can teach you lessons. Games make organization fun, for example. It's good to be organized, and games can teach you that.
- Games can teach you things in general. A lot of worldviews and philosophies can be expressed by the characters in the story that can give you new perspectives.
- Games can improve your own capacity to make your OWN art. Taking bits and elements from other art is how other art is created.
- Games can improve your reaction time.

I could go on. This is piss-easy, Sandtrap.

Now what does smoking pot do for you?

Yeah, that's right. Fuck all.

You cannot argue that anything of true worth is really gained when you sit down for an hour or two
Only if I'm playing a really shitty game. Games & movies are a little bit more than entertainment for me, but that's neither here nor there.

Unless we're only talking about marijuana, in which case, yeah, it's been shown time and time again that it's not inherently addictive, so whatever, I guess that's bullshit.
Which is only a half truth. A person can't form a physical dependency on marijuana, but mental dependencies (habitual smokers, for example) are quite common.
Well, there you go.
