now why would any self-respecting person do something like that

For food.... animals eat other animals.  It's life

Don't bother, he'll just tear your asshole apart like he does to me every single time I attempt to challenge him on anything

yeah

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.

Once you start watching anime

can confirm

seems reasonable to me

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 weird
it's weird in the same way that everyone on bungle is trans
that's all i'm saying

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

Imagine being so dumb that you think major events in the history and development of humanity is boring.

i still don't know where you faggots find the time to learn about all this boring shit

and i never will

stuff like the armenian genocide, constantinople, the ottoman empire, hell even the invasion of cyprus are all literally middle to high school world hstory class tier topics dude

never learned about a single one of these things at all at any point in any of my history classes, and i took it every year

even then, it's really fucking strange to me how you all retain such information to a point where you can have heated debates about it online and shit, acting like you know every little detail about all these events

like

that's fucking bizarre

none of you are historians

This is how you threaten someone with a knife:

"I'm gonna take out my knife, and stab you in the chest if you don't give me the fucking money right now"

What this guy did:

*pulls out knife*

"What are you gonna do about it?"

How the fuck did he threaten anyone again?

you're being retarded

It's cause people with double digit IQ find history boring

boredom is actually associated higher IQs

people with low IQs are capable of finding pretty much anything exciting, because they're easier to amuse

i'd be lying if i said i were as outraged as i probably should be about this

but i do agree with casper in that people don't tend to respond to hypotheticals very well, and with certain arguments, need a little extra something in order to truly understand what they're talking about or dealing with

in this case, it was over the top and emotionally manipulative at best, but at the same time, i'm not gonna call the guy a moron—he just comes across to me as a convicted and passionate, albeit misguided, guy

not that he's a genius or was making an incredibly intelligent point or anything

Jesus Christ making a movie solely for fan service bullshit is absolute cancer.

at least two heroes need to die in order for this movie to be worthwhile

I've heard it's a bit long winded and pretentious, plus I wasn't all that impressed with Ex Machina, so I'll probably give it a miss.

accusations of pretentiousness should make you want to see movies all the more
