My favorite sexual position is the JFK.
Splattering all over her while she screams and tries to get out of the car.

I like getting 30 kills in a scout warthog and being on fire at the end of the match because I'm just that fucking sexy.

I think I spent too much time playing fallout or reading through memeposters and their shit.
I only associate the colour red with "communist scum."
If I'm on blue team half of my callouts will consist of "There's red communist scum in the base."
I don't remember when I stopped watching the show, either.

If it saves a life or serves a purpose then you could paint the fucking thing pink for all I care.
Once you've got the functionality working, then you can focus on and put that special little "this saves lives AND looks cool" touch to things.

It may be a fact that everybody's all different in terms of strengths and weaknesses and qualities.
Here's the real truth. No matter how much our qualities vary, every last one of us is human. We all belong to the same species. We all have common ground and a root at our core. There is no human out there that likewise, can't relate to another human in some way because we all share similar experiences.
And, ultimately, no matter how good or bad you are, how rich or how poor, how smart or dumb, however sick or healthy, you are born. And you can't outrun death. Nobody can.
We're all born, and we all die. Which means that all of us share a limited amount of time together. We're all equal in that regard. And as such, while we're alive, we should strive for an equal and level playing field for people as best we can. Assume that you only get one shot at your life.
It wouldn't be, and it's not fair that your one chance is wasted or mired in bullshit in spite of bad dice rolls or even other people being cunts to you because they somehow believe they're above you, when at the end of everything, we all go anyway.
We're not born equal but we sure as fuck equally die.

still better than the fucking Spartans (Spartans are still badass though)
And overrated
It amazes me to this day how American pop culture basically worships a bunch of protofascist slave holders.
Literally all of Spartan society was structured around slavery. The spartans had to train to be ready to keep the slaves in line because the slaves always had to do all the work because the spartans had to train to be ready to keep the slaves in line because the slaves always had to do all of the work because the spartans... and so on.
The irony here is that our modern day setup is based around a similar concept, albiet executed with more finesse, as the slaves have lots of padding and fun stuff to keep them working and relatively happy but still doing all the work.
Obviously there's a little more wiggle room than "You don't feel like working, okay, we'll just kill you." Now it's just, "Don't feel like working? Go homeless and lose access to all the pretty shit."
Maybe that's why american pop culture worships slave holders.
Huh, go figure.
I think that might be society in general, not just American. The class system will always be a thing, no matter what form of government and society we're under.
Oh I'd figure as much. America wouldn't be the root and only practicioner of the whole lot. They merely adopted it. But Britain? They were born with it. Molded by it.

Desty probably joined a karate class a week ago and fought two sparring matches
Yeah, my sensei taught me how to kill a man without touching him physically. You have to channel your ki through the person's eyes and into their brain to fuck their shit up.
Did he also teach you the Black Knight Fleshwound trick? Really helpful for being immune to pain, that is.

They might've been comparitively civilised for the age at the time when compared to everybody else.
But really, it's like that with all cultures. They exceeded in some areas, and fell short in others.
A lot like politicians, really.

It'd be cool if they'd make a trenchy, cover filled WW styled map involving tank combat.
One of the things that I still like about the game is Tank VS Tank combat. Three hits and you're done. If your tank has already taken hits that means you have to play extremely tactical and for me, one of the best feelings in the game is to outplay another scorpion or wraith driver when I'm on fire and they're at full health.
If there was a map based around that I'd be all for it.

Sony and Microsoft are running a dangerous game with these updated consoles. They should seriously jump to PC at this point.
We should just merge all three together and create skynet.

It's not that the martial arts are fake, it's that people mistake them for what they are.
They're called martial arts for a very specific reason. However, some of what they teach does have practical applications that you can use in regular dusty old day to day fighting.
So. Here's a question off the top of my head.
You ever been hit in the plexes?
The balls? At full force with no protection? No, but I have taken enough damage to have to take a break for a short while a few times when having a jock strap on.
No, the plexus. Lumbar plexus are the nerves on the side of your body above your hip bones. They're a nasty place to get hit in. I mean the balls sucks too, obviously. That's usually an instant KO for just about any guy. But the lumbar area fucking hurts if somebody knows where to hit.

Don't break out the pitchforks here. But I was just doing some thinking. As I read over the article, something occurred to me. The very sad usage of the word "hero." It's not undeserved for what the guy did. And I wouldn't argue that he's not a hero.
But I don't enjoy how easily the word or title is slapped on by the media or the government. Somebody dies these days, and they'll likely be called a hero if they were killed by somebody else. And I think it's sad how meaningless it is. The only people who really are going to remember that person, are the close circle of people who knew them.
The only people who will remember them long after the media has done its drivel and shared the news around the world, long after their government put out a statement and held some kind of commemoration, will be that close circle of people. It's sad to me because it seems so.....orderly.
"Oh x person died from x cause, they're a hero. Terrible news, sorry to the family for their loss, yada yada okay bye now."
And then that hero effectively dissappears and is largely forgotten while the people who cared for them are just left to wander on. We've got graveyards and mountains of bodies worth of people who were all claimed as heroes and then casually forgotten over time.
And all the while, people continue to remain ignorant to what and why those people died for and continue to perpetrate a seemingly endless cycle of stupidity and violence while it's the dead heroes who pay for it.

I've been sitting here for some time now thinking of how to type out a rant about all the things I encountered at university(I started a month ago) and the surrounding the city that I flat out hate, and there's quite a lot of things about the modern world that I just can't stand.
The past month has been a twofold experience, on one hand it's a confirmation of my suspicions about the problems with Western Democracy, and on the other it's been a shock at just how little I've grown as a person, at how there can be so much variety and depth to every person around me that I've never noticed and been too incompetent to even ask about. A good analogy for my experience is Simpson's paradox, it's been a month of seeing a world that I despise on a grand scale, yet love on an individual level.
Because despite all the mistakes that I've already made this year and despite how at ends I am with the people around me (for reference I've been trying to go cold turkey on the election and news and politics in general but everyone I know ends up chiming in on it and forcing me to hide what I really think) and despite how isolated and despondent I've felt about everything (I really started to doubt my love of maths as well), I just can't bring myself to hate all these people.
I can't hate my feminist friend despite how horrible feminist policies have been for the world; I can't hate my friends and family who voted for changing the flag despite it being a giant fuck you to the small amount of history we have as a country; I can't hate all the nonwhites I now live with despite them being the cause for my impending minority status and dim housing prospects. I can't hate my gay relative despite them never shutting up about their bullshit.
There's so much history and subtlety to every person that leads them to act the way they do, it's damn near impossible to make a face value judgement of who they are, let alone why they chose the views the hold. But while I'm on this point, I can hate the media; I can hate them for twisting the truth and misleading the public, for pitting the country against itself. for reference I've already pointed out that there are serious issues with accepting refugees - The media loves to portray the situation as innocent women and children fleeing from the horrors created by evil white intervention in their homeland, and that their biggest danger is evil white racists not letting them into their countries; when really the reality is that the refugees ARE FUCKING RAPISTS.
If the media actually told the truth about the refugees, if they ran those stories 24/7 instead of the current "blame whitey" shit then the public opinion would be unanimously opposed to open borders, but instead Europe is still letting them in. In summary, the media is directly responsible for every single rape that has taken place. And that's just the most obvious case, when I still watched the news I'd pick up on some deception every single day, sometimes it was simple miswording or film editing, overtimes it was flat out lies (the most notable being dismissing the fact that my country's housing problem is caused by immigrants and Chinese businesses as casual racism)And to go a step further, this entire political climate is a result of leftism/liberalism/democratic thinking.
A cornerstone of feminism/Marxism is the destruction of the patriarchy/bourgeoisie, the liberation of the oppressed/proletariat, and finally the new age of utopia now that the evil archaic world is gone. Well congratulations, you fucking got it, your ideas are taught at every level of education and in almost every field (even my calculus book is vaguely political, how very convenient that your climate data only goes back 200 years despite the earth's age); the media exclusively reports from your point of view even if (in the case of Europe) it completely contradicts reality; government policy in the Western world is in favor of your policies (lax border control, endless free trade, anything LGBT related); All the music, movies, books and even video games pander to your sensibilities.
And of course, voicing opposition gets you ostracized. All these terror attacks now stem from your fetishizing the concept of a moderate muslim and innocent refugee - If you wanted to help someone you culd always help the people already living in your own country, there's always been plenty of them, yet instead you import troubled people and you import their troubles with them.

See I'm stuck in a position where I don't really believe in anything anymore, I've tried being apathetic, tried being optimistic, tried being right wing and left wing and anything in between, or outside of it all; tried being religious, tried being atheist, tried ignoring the world, tried learning everything about the world (The further I get into maths, the less real everything feels despite how much more I know about everything) - And I know I'm young , that a lot of this is just angsty venting and that despite moving out of my home and living on the other-side of the country I'm still not really grown up, that I've still got a stupidly long way to go before I can say I'm not just a dumb kid anymore, that there's still lots of things that I'm not even aware of their existence - But I also know that I've learned enough from experience and theory to make a good approximate guess about things.
What I see is that the political system doesn't currently exist to improve people's lives, any benefits to humanity comes about in spite of democracy and in spite of egalitarianism, not because of it. Immigration hasn't improved my country due to some innate superiority of removing white people, but because the people who came over were simply good people. My country is peaceful and functioning not because democracy is capable of producing an effective government (it's laughable just how bad our current one has been), but because all the individual people involved work their hardest in spite of bureaucratic bullshit.
—
To summarize this mess of a post, I get the undeniable feeling that the world has turned against me; sometimes it's a subtle change of words and sometimes it's an overt attack on my existence. It makes me mad as hell that I've ended up in this position and I'm even more mad that everyone before me and around me let the world end up like this. But at the same time I don't want to end up hating everything. Even in the mess of a city that I now live in there's plenty of good things and good people, even among the groups of people that i dislike the most there's still significant amounts of common ground between us; hell, on this site I agree with people more often than not despite being an abrasive dick to everyone.
I'm terrible at communicating my thoughts in any medium, but I needed to get this off my chest, bottling things up turns me into a horrible person and I want to change that but right now I haven't a clue what to do. All I really know is that I'm opposed to the modern world and I'm opposed to being a horrible person, beyond that I've only got a vague idea of improving myself that's had mixed results so far.
Thanks to anyone that bothered to read that.
There you go matey. I bitched hypocrytically but I fixed your OP for you.

Can you send me air conditioning? I have the unfortunate situation of being suited to the cold but having to do demanding physical labor and endure the rising temperatures during our summers.
Frankly, this year, I don't want the amount of sunstroke I got last year. Just send me an AC unit and I'l strap it to my back.

I'm gonna be a cunt just this once. I write walls too. Can't help it. Just the way I write things.
But the very top of my list when writing a wall is to keep it separated and readable. It might not be readable because of it's sheer length or my scrambled off the rail thoughts.
But damn will it ever look classy and cleanly separated.

And, now that I remember the second part of your post. Judgmental people are all sorts of things, based on how they judge and what they do with their judgments. All people judge others. It's a natural mechanism we need to survive. But you can judge others in excess. You can judge people blindly. You can be overly judgemental and critical of people.
And, yes, judgmental people can be insecure. This relates to what I said up above about insecurity manifesting itself in different ways.
Case and point, for a loose example, closet homophobes.

« on: March 28, 2016, 08:51:31 PM »
Insecurity has borders across all spectrums of people's thoughts and emotions. But the core of it is this alone.
Inside a person's own head, whether it's known or buried deep in their sub-conscious, that person, in some way feels invalidated with themselves and has a deep need to try and make themselves feel valid.
That invalidation manifests itself in so many ways among people though. Which is why in some cases, insecurity can be hard to spot because its lines blur with so many common things that people do. It has a root cause but not a root outcome.

Well, see, they actually know where some of the heavier ISIS bases are. But due to all the air traffic from other countries playing ring around the rosie and taking turns bombing patches of nothing, those bases are still just sitting out there.
Maybe I'm out of date and they did hit the bases some time back. Even still whatever operation is pulled over there it's a fucking mess. A sweep job would probably get ugly real fast, even if you were kind enough to give a warning.
I guess my brain turned off for a bit there. I missed the end section of the title.
Honestly, I figure if you're going to fight or find ISIS holdouts in modern places, you need to do what they do. Infiltration and sleeper agents.

It's like he's actually awake asking zod questions, then he wakes up and it was a dream.
Zod is communicating with Kal-El in the dream sequence, though.
And he is able to communicate with people through their dreams, how? Superman hasn't done that, and Zod hadn't been exposed to earth's atmosphere yet to get that power boost.
Kryptonian Tech you herp derp.
