The Flood / Re: cultural appropriation
« on: November 23, 2016, 07:23:28 PM »
it's just kind of an inherently racist idea, at least the way it's used

if a white guy wears a do-rag and sags his pants, he's accused of cultural appropriation, which implies that those things are part of black "culture" when they're really just stereotypes.

yeah, take new pictures
I spent literally 30 minutes taking that batch of pictures and picked the best ones

so if those are bad that says more about my looks than the pics
I'm in the same predicament as you. I have an instagram account and I can never pull off any selfies correctly. I keep posing instead making a natural expression.

I suggest asking a friend irl to take pictures of you when you are not expecting it. Sorta worked for me.
it's not really a problem with the pictures, though

that heightens the problems for sure and makes me look more awkward, but you don't get these kinds of visceral reactions from people just from bad pictures

it's more about my actual face

Why are you leaving? Can't handle the memes or the circle jerking?
No, I'm just getting bored. Haven't really found many interesting discussions yet, and most people's conduct here is old and tiresome stuff I've seen a million times before.

I also came here to see if I could recognize some old faces from Bungie.net of yore, but I haven't had any such luck so far. Feeling pretty assured I have not missed-out on much after quitting The Flood 6 or 7 years ago on Bungie.net.
Nothing is going to be B.old again, but this site is still leagues better than the frankenstein monster of current Bungie.
b.old is literally a non-interactable blog for me cuz I didn't waste money on Destishit
what do you mean?

b.old was way before destiny

and yeah, saying "just take natural photos lol", with no instruction on how to do that isn't really helpful
I never actually told you to do it. I only said that I think it would make better photos and that's it's entirely possible.

Why would I bother trying to convince you to try when you always seem to act like you can't change.
I don't fucking know how to, that's the problem
Yes, I know. I've only said what I've said because you say it's impossible for you and I disagree. The reason I haven't attempted to explain how to do it is because you come off as not even wanting to try it.
Cause I dont

wont change the actual problem

Maybe for you. I really can't do it.
Not with that attitude.
Not with any attitude.
You're saying that if you had the same mentality as I do about it you wouldn't be able to even though I am?

That's doesn't make much sense.
You're a different person than me.

Look at ANY picture I've posted on this site. Everyone hates all of them. Me blaming that on the pictures and not my looks is just mental gymnastics.
That's irrelevant to what I'm talking about.

All I'm saying is that it's entirely possible to take natural photos of yourself. Not being able to isn't some inherent nature that some people have. It's merely conditioning.
It's completely relevant to the fucking problem. You can hone in on one little thing, that's fine. But even if I took completely natural photos, doesn't change the actual problem of my face.

I've taken literally a few dozen photos on this site, everyone hated every single one of them. I'm not going to do some cop out shit and blame that on my fucking expressions.

Your expressions never look natural.
probably because they aren't

I'm posing for a picture
tbh I think a natural expression would look much better.
my point is that I can't do that

if I'm taking a picture of myself, it's not going to be a natural expression, because I'm taking a picture of myself
It's entirely possible to take a picture of yourself with a natural expression. Just because you're aware of the picture being taken doesn't mean you have to pose for it.
Maybe for you. I really can't do it.

Daryl fucking sucks.
He's not the worst character or anything, but the fact that everyone hypes him up so much and he's the ultimate fan favorite (why, I have no idea) makes him that much more insufferable.
Yeah. He's a massive plot sponge, too. He's stolen comic storylines from Glenn, Abraham, Tyreese and even Rick himself.
If I read the comics, I'd be so annoyed at how the show butchers a lot of the stories.

I haven't met Negan yet, but I already got the big spoiler of who he kills in S7. Really wish it was Daryl instead, but god knows he could never die.
tbf the show is much better than it used to be when it comes to adapting the comics. Back in seasons 1-3 it complete butchered Andrea and the farm and prison story arcs. It wasn't until Scott Gimple took over for Season 4 onwards that things got a bit better and more faithful.

Have you watched The Next World yet, episode 10 of S6? I really feel like Glenn should have gone along with them or took Daryl's place.
Yeah, I heard that Andrea was actually intelligent and likable in the comics. And yep, I just finished The Same Boat. I really miss the Rick/Glenn relationship, and it sucks how it got completely sidelined when Daryl became Rick's right hand man. That episode would've been great with Glenn in it.

I am liking Jesus, though, he's a cool guy so far.

you always find some really good observations here

6268
ok

6269
utilitarianism is when the net happiness outweighs the net suffering
The ideal being that suffering should be quashed entirely--and if this ideal is not met, it's not utilitarian. You just have a compromise--the "most" utilitarian option, but not the utilitarian option.
And in the scenario I described, the most utilitarian option is to allow that society to continue.

6270
if you let one person be eternally tortured to allow 5,000,000,000 people to live forever in constant bliss and ecstasy, utilitarianism would encourage that.

Shit moral system
itt: no one understands what utilitarianism is
expect that would totally be in line with utilitarian ideals
utilitarianism is the pursuit of utopia (a perfect society where no one suffers in any way) in the most cost-efficient manner possible

if one person is suffering, you don't have a utopia, and you don't have utlitarianism
utilitarianism is when the net happiness outweighs the net suffering
