Honestly. When did this become a thing?
Didn't Despicable Me come out several mass extinctions ago? And the internet is just now feeding off the yellow bean creatures?

why would anyone hate themselves enough to go to Mcdonalds
Because some people are masochists.
Who apparantly like the tasty, tasty pain of dying arteries and clogged heart valves.
It's painfully delicious.
lol I'm a legit masochist but even I wouldn't go that far
Then you truly haven't lived if you've not gone through 6 triple bypasses and emergency liposuction to reduce your burger to body mass percentage down below 95%. What a rush. On that fat scooter I mean. You can feel the wind in your crevices.

You're too fucking stubborn to die before 50, bro.
40's doesn't seem so bad, honestly. Most guys in their 40s go through a neat phase. 40 seems like kind of big and you'll notice a lot of 40 year olds get really sure of themselves as if they know everything about how the world works. It's tripping out on being older basically. That wouldn't be a bad phase to kick the can in. Everything would feel known and assured to me and then poof, into the grave. Better than living to be a crusty old fuck because that seems to be the road I'm getting pulled along on.

I talked about something along those lines with somebody sometime back. The movement seems like a card up somebody's sleeves to play at this point.
It's like a big fake self pity train maybe. Black communities running around being asshats and then waving the white flag so to speak as soon as there's trouble.

There's always the hope that two decades from now they'll have better treatment for cancer. Humanity has suppressed or cured more diseases in the past fifteen years than we have in all of history prior; don't count yourself out yet.
It's a tumor, man. Fuck, if it was just in another area they could cut it out even. This little bundle of derp ain't complicated. Just in the wrong place is all. I guess I didn't explain my math real well though. My ticker can most likely carry me far for quite some time. I just need to watch out for heavy strain. That's why a transplant seems like a waste when I've got pretty much assured buckets to kick within the next 20 years or so. Lob new heart into the works and then keel over from other things. Yeah. That sure wasn't wasted.

I work for about 90% of the day. Lately I've been cutting firewood from stacked up trees. Throwing 20-30 pound logs across a 10-25ft gap.
It's a rather good form of movement at the moment. Lots of cardio with scaling the logs and keep balance along with throwing stuff. Then lifting the logs and stacking them in the truck. Going home, throwing all the logs out of the truck, rinse and repeat.
I don't actively train or anything. But I always find something to do at least.

Look at that crap. Walls that don't amount to anything. Wastes of time. Stupid of me. And there's that fucker too. Heavy chemo. Frazzled nervous system and head. I don't even know half the time what the fuck I'm doing. I don't remember half the shit I should and if I do it shows up days later for no reason.
It's like there's two mangled pieces of me stuck together. One doesn't make any sense and the other does. And both of them are being eaten away at all my baggage that I can't seem to shake whether it be big shit like above or just small pointless shit.
It's easy to tell yourself to smile and do it. But when that smile fades and all you've got left is square one, back where you started, well, it sucks.
I'll call it quits. Mopey old me being mopey again. I caught it this time.
Fuck it. Do whatever you want with the thread.
Put pinatas up or something.

You know how many years Stephen Hawking's doctors gave him when they discovered he had ASL?
Two years.
He's still alive and kicking today.
Predictions are just that. Predictions. You have already faced close death and survived, haven't you? Don't think of it as taking the opportunity from someone else. It's impossible to predict the future, for all you know that heart won't go to a kid as no kid will need it, and then you not taking the transplant would have been in vain.
Of all the people on this site, I think you're on of the nicest and most sympathetic ones. I'd say you deserve this.
I was using kids as an example, really. Transplants take time anyway. Months waiting in line essentially. It could go to anybody for all I care. Like I said. Even if I get the heart the tumor will still get me. It won't stay benign forever. I've been surrounded by people in my life who've had various forms of cancer. I've never seen one of them ever beat the odds of time given to them. Even the healthiest, strongest willed folks. Maybe they're predictions. But they're reasonably accurate. Hawking is an extremely rare exception. I wouldn't say I do. I look at the stuff I've done over 20 years. I look at the person I am now. What could I change in the next few decades about me? I don't know. I don't see much of a person left in here to salvage anyway. I do the small things that make me happy every now and then. And I help the people I care about since I know they need a hand. But, I've never been able to outrun the stuff that's chasing me. I've read through the books. Talked to the docs. My personality is one subject and leaning to depressive. It's hard to dig out of a hole like that. Even with the help from the docs. I'm trying, no doubt. But making no dents. I've got all this crap gunning for me one way or another. I've always got something fun on the brain to consider. Of course, not saying I'll stop. I'll try and slog through this until I can't. But, that heart transplant deal. Kinda stuck on it. Kind of funny, really. It wouldn't mean jack shit in the end. Wouldn't save me from anything other than heart issues. I still get hitched on it though. Like it's a holy grail that can pull me out of all this. Na. No holy grails.

I wouldn't see it as a waste at all, just saying man
It would be though. Think about it. For the sake of conventional thinking here. Let's say I've got 20 years before my tumor officially hits it off with a wake up party and kills me. My heart might not fail in that time span. The key thing is maintaining levels of strain. Too much, and of course, it'll go. But, 20 years. If I go earlier than that, it won't really matter much, will it? In 20 years a kid in the hospital could grow to reach my age because of a heart transplant. You don't just scoop up working hearts off the street you know. Somebody dies for it. And even then. Compatible blood types and cell types so the heart isn't rejected and attacked by your body. I just think about it. Why would I do that when there are so many people out there who could make better use of it than me? Hell, there's a person in my town, even. She's got a genetic inherited heart defect. She could drop dead at any time. Not the same as mine but all the same, same end result. I dunno. Either way, it's a coin toss at how far I can make it. And looking at things, going through a transplant seems like a bit of a waste, when I'm not dealing with much time anyway.

Is that the spartan I think that is?
Is that an unexpected and rather well reaching back memory that I think it is?
Cause if it is you'd not be wrong.
The one you were embarrassed of sharing.
Like I said. You'd not be wrong. Poor description though. Never really like sharing any of my work too much. But yes. That would be the one you're thinking of. 028.

Something I will say though that I did enjoy about the opening sequence. In the first 21 seconds the track of music that plays...is an interesting choice.
It really seems to lay down a tone. Sort of a dark, melancholy sort of feel to it. It's heavy.

I just feel like talking a bit is all. Something I'd like to get off my chest I guess.
I've got a faulty heart. Maybe I said that at some point. And not just faulty-miss-a-few-beats faulty anymore. We're talking one day it'll stop out of the blue and I'll drop dead. Well, that warrants me for a heart transplant. But I gave it some thought a while back when it was propositioned to me.
Me and my "salvage" chemotherapy. At the best case scenario? I've got maybe 20 years. 30 is pushing it so extremely far that it's almost out of the question. So, I figured, why waste it?
Why waste a heart on myself? If I've only got that long of a chance at the max, why bother getting a transplant? To which I figured if my heart does stop between now and whenever, it'd be no big deal since, well, I'm pretty much fucked anyway.
But, I still think about it every now and then. And I suppose, I always could sign up for one. But it seems like a waste to me.
Anyway. I guess so you folks don't have to put up with me bleeding about my "feels" on the subject, do any of you ever have doubts on big things like that? Maybe things you could still potentially change if you wanted to?

Internal bleeding. The blood loss dropped my blood pressure which upset my somewhat wonky heart and put it into a failing state. Defibrillators were required to jumpstart it back on track again.

How exactly would you be preventing negative sensation from happening in the universe if there was no universe around to harbor it? i'm sorry, but
that's a really really stupid question, and I can't believe you asked it
that's like saying you can't spill milk and clean it up, because once you clean it up, there's no more spilled milk
by destroying the universe, there is no more possibility of negative sensation occurring at all, anywhere
it doesn't matter that there's no universe--there doesn't need to be
It's not 100% guaranteed greater good because somebody is going to oppose it which therefore makes it a violation of somebody's personal choice. most children oppose vaccines
why?
because needles are scary
it doesn't matter what the dumbfuck individual thinks--it's an objective greater good
That's if we're taking morality into account. When morality doesn't actually exist. It actually means nothing but to the people who have their respective viewpoints on it. Kill a species. Universe don't give a fuck. Blow up some solar systems. Universe doesn't give a fuck. Blow up the universe and it wouldn't give a fuck. It's just simply there. There is no objective greater good or greater evil, really, because no matter what we do we are still confined to the physical limitations and restrictions of its barriers. It's like a sandbox. The sandbox doesn't attack you if you step in it, nor does it give you a pat on the back for making a neat sand castle. Let's say a kid falls down in the sandbox and lands on a rock that was there just because that's sometimes what you find in a sandbox. Are you going to demolish the sandbox because of the potential for rocks or are you going to just remove all the fucking rocks because if you're persistent enough you can? And, yeah, I know the first statement is rickety. If I could explain it in a better manner I would but for now I'll leave things be.

100% guaranteed greater good This is also a fundamentally flawed concept because of the way "good" and "bad" are inherently linked with no real separation between the two. You can't have one without the other. It's not 100% guaranteed greater good because somebody is going to oppose it which therefore makes it a violation of somebody's personal choice. Now, if everybody agreed on it? Then it would be 100% guaranteed greater good.

So whose perspective is right? logically, the perspective that prevents the most negative sensation from happening in the universe
You'd better stop making loopholes here Verb. Red button wipes everything clean right? How exactly would you be preventing negative sensation from happening in the universe if there was no universe around to harbor it? You're not actually technically preventing anything bad from happening in the universe because you're technically just destroying everything to say, "Oh hey look no more negative in the univer- oh wait there's nothing there." Which also comes down to a complete violation of your own particular belief. You think forcing life on an entitiy that doesn't exist yet without permission is shitty? How about forcing every single entitiy in existence not to exist without their consent? Take it from multiple angles too. That's equally as negative because you're making the choice for countless numbers who may not want that. That's pretty fucking negative.

Loophole.
Who decides what the greater good is?
logic
Does the universe cry over who dies and who doesn't? I sure don't see any evidence to point it out. Does it care? Most likely not. Do good and evil therefore exist? No. Where'd you get your morals? Parents and environmental factors. Your morals aren't technically yours because they were inherited and influenced. If you were born a psychopathic killer you wouldn't see that what you were doing was wrong due to your inheritance and perspective. So whose perspective is right?

Well, now that we've got a little context here, lemme think. by everything i mean everything

My shit and my work are part of the universe. Don't touch my fuckin shit Verb.

« on: September 01, 2015, 12:59:42 PM »
That doesn't matter. If even one person refuses to consent to you pressing the button, it's morally deplorable.
nah
breach of consent is permissible if there is a 100% guaranteed greater good
Loophole. Who decides what the greater good is? Who's got that absolute authority and judgement to make on a call like that?

« on: September 01, 2015, 12:56:32 PM »
What does the red button do
deletes everything in an instant
Well, now that we've got a little context here, lemme think. In most cases, destroying somebody's work is a pretty shitty thing to do. My work is important to me so if it were you pushing the red button, you'd be a cunt for destroying everything I've made and plan to make. And if it were me, it'd be the same thing because I'd be destroying somebody else's work too. You don't fuck with people's shit without their permission and you certainly don't destroy it. You can criticise it. But you don't tread over others. The red button is about as cunty as it could get if we're talking a full blown data wipe kind of deal.

This is the closest representation to the Spartans in the canon we've had in any of the games
I mean I know they're agile and strong and all that.
But in most of the novels they were always portrayed as stealthy and tactical. They couldn't run through enemies and they couldn't charge tanks.
Then again, I guess since Blue Team is in here as well we'll see how a Spartan II does it.
Spartan IVs aren't IIs.
A team of S-IIs could blow through a sizeable force, because of how they work together. Being more stealthy means shit.
Plus 'Mdama's faction is literally a bunch of losers and rejects. They ain't no War-era Covenant.
I'm just used to the old Spartan portrayal. Clean, efficient, and rather plain soldiers. Mechanical in their combat and using by the books standards of warfare heightened by all their various boosted abilities. And not being so flashy. Yes I know the II's could wipe out a sizeable force. For example, Reach. Except they didn't exactly just flashily run into things. They snuck by in wraiths. Stole some banshees, and dropped the nuke. Yes, being more stealthy supposedly means shit. But I always liked it for the proffessionalism. Like I said though. Maybe Blue Team will act differently. As it's already noted that the IVs are all typical bro-dudes.
