This is Henry Tandey--an English soldier who was awarded Victoria Cross for his efforts during WWI. One day, he spotted a wounded German soldier--but instead of putting him out of his misery, he spared his life out of pity. That man was Adolf Hitler.

The story is disputed, but still highly interesting.

Making dumb decisions is part of growing up, being afraid to talk because you're either going to mess up/forget half your vocabulary at any given moment or accidentally interrupt someone multiple times isn't.

Would you say your problem is rooted more in how people will perceive you as a result of these gaucheries, or is it something else entirely? Because I would certainly hope that it's a part of growing up, because I'm in the same boat as you, but my problem is mostly about the former. If I do something stupid, I start convincing myself that everyone hates me now, and is going to start treating me differently based on those little social fuck-ups.

In reality, no one cares, because everyone makes social fuck-ups, and there's not enough time to be concerned about other people's awkwardness. I find that thought a little comforting, personally, and I feel like when I fully grasp that concept--the idea that everyone else is living out their own complex lives, too--I think that's a sign of maturation, or growing up. Because it makes your problems seem smaller and that much less significant.

I can't speak for you, of course, but I mean... I don't know, I just hope you find some way to make it better.

Why not both?

Because it's not necessary to bring sex into everything. It's retarded. And childish.

Yeah, it is. Sex sells? Why not "good content sells"? Why not "we have confidence enough in our content such that we don't need to use these kinds of tactics to gain viewers"? How about "the fact that we live in such a sex-obsessed culture is disgusting and immature, and we're not going to take advantage of that market just to make a quick buck"?

Social anxiety, fear of ridicule, Dysthymia, aphasia, and a problem with understanding conversational stops.

Well, I wouldn't call any of that idiocy, necessarily...

I'm an idiot.

Forgetful? Tactless?

I don't think there's any such thing as overprotection--I guess it would have to be defined to me. Perhaps that's another flaw of mine, and I don't know it yet.

I'll just be upset about literally everything else that sucked about it, then.

Well, not upset, but... Yeah, I'm standing my ground--game looks like shit.

I still think she's still right about female representation.

But whining about violent video games in 2015 is just kinda silly.

i mean

it's a fucking gaaaaaaaaame

I would've.

It really doesn't.

You're just applying more hate because you have no skills in it.

I have no skills in a game that isn't out yet. Gotcha.

All right, I give that a 2/5.

Was bordering on a 1/5, but some of the stuff actually looked remotely intriguing, and the guys did a good job presenting it all.

It really doesn't.

Weapon customization - Okay, fine, that's pretty cool too.

Cute Donkey Kong homage.
