it all makes sense now
this is literally the only thing anyone ever posts whenever i talk about my life
lmao😂😂😂
But I meant in your views towards relationships etc
yeah, and that's just part of it when all of my friends started dating, it was literally nothing but drama—people cheating on each other, hating each other, yelling at each other—i've had one of my friends literally crying over my shoulder over some girl who left him i decided that it was all just a big hassle

I find that to be the difference between an embarrassing pleasure and a guilty one; it's okay to feel shame, but not regret. To decide which you're feeling, there's a simple question: "if someone discovered that I enjoyed x, would I feel bad because they found out or because I liked ?"
Like, I don't talk about anime irl (except for mentioning super mainstream stuff, like Dragon Ball); not because I feel regret for liking anime, but because it tends to attract the attention of cringemongers. I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure because I feel no remorse for liking it, but I do feel remorse for whatever misstep led to a fedora-tipper discovering that I watched some shitty SoL a few years ago.
it's that such things attract cringemongers that'd start making me feel a certain kind of way about my interests i'd start thinking "oh wonderful, i'm just like them now" not a good feeling

it's also undeniable to me that there exist things that nobody should enjoy, and if you do enjoy it, then you should feel nothing but shame for yourself—kiddie porn, bestiality, free form jazz music

Nobody should feel guilty about things they like
wouldn't go that far
I would. Feeling remorse for the things you like means that you don't truly enjoy them.
hmm, idk, perhaps we just think of the term differently when i call something a guilty pleasure, i'm merely acknowledging that 1.) the thing i like isn't conventionally thought of as "good," 2.) it doesn't technically live up to the quality standards that i've proposed for myself, and 3.) i have to go through a twisty-turny rigmarole in attempting to explain to people why i find it so appealing in spite of everything else like, golden boy is genuinely the funniest anime i've ever seen—it's the only show that's ever made me laugh out loud at the exact beats where i was supposed to, and i can't say the same about anything else but it's also golden boy, a show that i'm supposed to hate because it IS everything that i hate so it's a guilty pleasure—i would never recommend it to anybody who's expecting a little bit more from my tastes

i never learned how to drive in high school, but my house was within a 10-minute walking distance anyway, so it wasn't really a big deal at the time—michigan weather wasn't always kind to me, though, so if i wasn't trudging through 10 inches of snow, i was probably freezing to death from the wind chill (and i was too cool to wear boots, snowpants, or a decent jacket)
i was also hyper introverted during my freshman and sophomore years, and the only friends i had were the friends i've always had since elementary school
i started coming out of my shell a little during junior year, though, and by senior year, it felt like i had made friends, or at least acquaintances, with almost everyone in my class, which was great (then that all came crashing down as soon as i graduated but hey, whatever, senior year is the happiest i remember being in the past four years)
that said, i was never great with girls, but only because i never really tried—so by the time i finally decided to ask someone out during senior year, i wasn't well-practiced at all and i still cringe about it to this day
i had a crush on this girl who i met in middle school—she was very quiet and to herself (like me), was a really good student (unlike me), and very pretty in a demure debutante kind of way (a rarity for girls of her disposition), and though she wasn't quite the salutatorian, she was definitely in the discussion
she was really really sweet, too—just the nicest girl you'd ever meet—but she also had this reputation of rejecting every guy who's ever asked her out, and anyone who ever ever tried was lambasted by everyone else for even thinking to corrupt such a pure, pristine, innocent girl
i never ever spoke to her in middle school, we only became somewhat acquainted in high school—we had a couple classes where we sat near each other, exchanging thoughts here and there, that type of thing, never a lengthy conversation
at some point during senior year, though, she got her license—and she would occasionally spot me on my way home from class, and for whatever reason, she just started offering me rides home
i would always accept, obviously, even though it made me incredibly anxious—this is a girl i've been crushing on for years, after all—but it would be very silly for me not to take her up
she would do this rather frequently, and sometimes she'd even drive me to school—i would never ask her, but she would always offer—and we'd always have a pretty good conversation on the way home, where i discovered that, while we may not be interested in a lot of the same things, she seemed genuinely interested in what i had to say, which i can tell, because she asked a lot of good questions
even though i liked and appreciated it, it still fucked with my head, because i couldn't tell if she was just doing it out of the kindness of her heart, or because was she into me, and this was her way of letting me know about it (because she never rode with anyone else)
eventually, i guess the hormonal horndog within me decided it very well may have been the latter—so, after taking me home one night for what must have been the fifth or sixth time, i made a snap decision to ask her out right then and there—but i've never asked anyone out before, and my anxiety through the roof, so i wound up fumbling the execution pretty badly
the way it played out was, she stopped at my door, we said our goodbyes, and i stepped out of the car—but then suddenly, i turned back around before closing the door, poked my head back in for a second, and i either said "uh, hey" or "uh, wait"
she looked at me again, and then i asked her something like, "do you think we could go out some time"
i didn't stutter, i said it confidently, but i instantly felt an explosion of regret well up inside my stomach as i braced myself for her response
the expression on her face was hard to read—she wasn't a very expressive person in general, so i honestly couldn't get a read on her reaction at all—but either way, she gave me a "hmm... maybe!" and drove off
i think "hmm, maybe, we'll see" was her exact response
which of course means "no" which means she really was just trying to be nice the whole time
so that might be the cringiest thing i've ever done, because it was such a pitiful attempt, but i'm able to defend it because i GENUINELY felt that she was into me, because she was giving me every single indication
she was the only girl who ever shown me any interest whatsoever, and out of them all, she was my crush—so i felt like i had to seize the opportunity
so yeah, cringe—but no ragrats at the same time
another thing—we invited each other to our graduation parties that year, and i went to hers, but she didn't show up to mine—but the very next day, i receive a LONG facebook message from her, apologizing for not being there, and that she just couldn't make it, but she's so sorry, and all this stuff
so i dunno man, maybe she did like me after all, but was just as awkward as me about it, who knows
not that any of it matters now, she moved to the south and got married there last year

Nothing? There's a reason why it's cringe, and it's because it was wrong.
that was my initial response as well, but in thinking about it, i'm actually not so sure try to think of a learning experience you may have had that resulted in embarrassment, and you can't help but cringe in retrospect, but was still integral to whatever growth you needed to get where you are today maybe there's still nothing for you, but i wouldn't rule out the possibility entirely you could also just say liking anime

i'm in the process of playing through every single NES game that i own (400+), something i've been telling myself to do for years and years, but would never get around to it—and now i'm finally making headway on it
most of these games are terrible and 30 years old, but i'm still playing them because i consider it wasteful not to
given that most if not all of my interests are informed by whatever i was exposed to as a child, nostalgia is a cornerstone—if your art makes me feel like a kid again, i'm probably going to enjoy it
i have a very wordsworthian view of my childhood, so it actually goes beyond mere nostalgia for me

now why would any self-respecting person do something like that
For food.... animals eat other animals. It's life
so because animals don't know better, we should reduce ourselves to them.
for what reason
there's so many food sources out there, so that can't be it
Like soy
yup

OT:
who cares, silly question
when you die, everyone else continues to live, and all life on earth is basically just a hivemind in the sense that we're all only here to reproduce (unless you're smart enough to break that chain, but that's neither here nor there), so perhaps "true death" is the heat death of the universe
and if there's more than one universe, i have no idea what true death is
3705
« on: March 18, 2018, 05:06:13 PM »
The idea that you live on in people's memories is nice and sentimental, but you're also dead, so it's not like you can give a shit about that
you can't be apathetic about it either the point is that it would be extremely out of character for a dead person to feel things they wouldn't have if they were alive

Halo has always had flaws to start with in its story, but the direction 343 took is about as bad as the direction Star Wars took with The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi
But that's the best direction Star Wars has ever taken.

Imagine being so dumb that you think major events in the history and development of humanity is boring.
again, that's more a sign of intelligence than anything
i'm too smart to be entertained by such objectively boring shit
what is entertaining or interesting about any of this, if you're a smart person
For someone who hates humanity so much, you would think that you would be well versed in it and all the various events you could cite as examples of why we should all die.
which i have, and do, because i have a laymen's grasp of history, and that's all you need
just enough to know humans are shit, not enough to have super detailed conversations about hyperspecific events
you don't have to be a fake armchair historian to comment on the atrocities of humanity
So you think it's wise to let someone with an extensive knowledge of history defeat your argument using their greater understanding of events, people, and development of mankind? Is it not the logical outcome when you limit your knowledge of a subject to be confounded by someone who is far beyond your limit?
i think people in general should stay in their lane, it's okay for people to be ignorant about subjects they're not interested in, so long as they don't completely shut themselves away from it, which i haven't people who know their history, that's great—feel free to school me if i ever say anything ignorant about history, because i don't know a lot about it i respect those people, but i'm just commenting on how weird it is for so many of the members on this forum to find the subject so very interesting, and i feel like i'm the only person here who just couldn't be fucked it's weirdit's weird in the same way that everyone on bungle is trans that's all i'm saying

it's okay to hate turks because some of them did bad things at various points in history
but don't you dare start hating white people for doing even worse shit at basically every point in history

English is just memorizing rules and constructing sentences using those rules. I'd much rather read about past events tbh imo fam.
wrong, retard
it's also about rhetoric, or the effective use of language
AKA some people will grasp it, others won't
there's nothing about history that cannot be grasped by anyone
History is useful for plenty of things, how to cut your hair if you want people to think you hate minorities for example.
history is useful for basically nothing internet debates, "doomed to repeat it" meme, being smug about knowing more useless shit than someone else that's about it

You were an English major
yeah, because english is at least remotely interesting, and it's something that you can get good at you can't get "good" at history, and like any subject that simply involves memorization of facts, anyone can "master" it thus, it's fucking boring the only intellectual offerings it has are the silly debates it produces, like who burned the reichstag but does it really fucking matter at the end of the day? the point is what resulted from it
