is the servant on the right actually the guilty one and the stalk grew just as the magician said and nothing nefarious actually happened overnight
No, sorry I should've said in the OP, assume this scenario follows the rules of the real world

Does the magician have ulterior motives?
No, the Magician is a loyal servant of the Emperor

The sun reached the bamboo on the right first giving it that inch of morning wood
did both stalks grow
It was the palace panda, who ate an inch of the one on the left.
No, none of these things happened.

guys, instead of trying to guess what happened, try asking me questions like what Fedorekd asked

278
I don't though?? When did I lie about my personal life? When did I troll outside of Bungie.net threads like "the internet shuld be ilegal"?
Bruh, before you deleted your old discord account I had pages of PMs from you (or maybe I still do) describing the exact manner how for years you made an intentional effort to obscure your identity and lie about who you are and where you're from. You seemed proud of it.

Not to mention, you've been caught lying numerous times in the mains, and you've made threads announcing "I'm just trolling jk" in reference to your entire "online persona", after which you went immediately back to the same way.

plenty of people choose to do this, and that's their prerogative, but if you get called out on having done it in the past, instead of getting defensive maybe you could try "that's not something I do anymore."

279
solonoid has never really been a friendly person, so it's hard to get upset over something i'm well-accustomed to
yeah I'm fairly sure I use this site to take out all the feelings I'm not comfortable venting in my daily life, so I won't deny that I'm seldom as nice as I should be around here

If you PM me the posts, I can edit the name out and eventually it'll fall off the SERPs. I'm generally against removing content / deleting accounts / etc, but I will remove personal information on request.

Just FYI.

bro no I'm being serious, you have a dead job and moved to Florida to live with your mother

you can go on a rant trying to rationalize the situation in a way that let's you lie to yourself, but until you actually take your life into your own hands you're still stuck, and you'll know it inside
She's not 40 and living with her mom; it's honestly just a smarter financial decision in your mid/early 20s and, if it is to support her family, logical and positive. By the same token, working a "dead job" isn't a big deal. She's young enough that, if there's no route for progression, it can be leveraged to move to another position with equal/better pay.

Progress can be fast or slow; it makes no difference so long as you're always moving forward.
Thanks for actually being a reasonable person. Like I don't have some glamorous life but I enjoy it, and it's serviceable. I get to live in a first world country that has freedom of speech, I get to live in a house and not on the street, and I never have to worry about being hungry or thirsty. When I keep things like this in perspective it makes things more cozy for me.
OH, so now it isn't a classy gig

To be fair though, this is all I wanted him to say.

Good on you mate

Okay, then why be upset when I mention it?

Youre both missing the entire point here. I'm not asserting that SecondClass has a "shitty life", since that's subjective to the way a person enjoys living.

I'm making the facts clear, which as far as I can tell we agree on.

Class works an entry level job for unskilled workers with essentially no room to move up. In order to make a career with Wyndham, even if you start at the bottom and move up, you need to have a degree. You'll never snag a gm position and build a career out of it without education. If the opportunity ever did appear to move from a franchise employee to a corporate one, it would take a couple of decades without an education, effectively making the job dead end, or, not a career.

Same thing with the living with your mother because you have nowhere else to go.

This lifestyle suits young people often enough.

But SecondClass is in active denial that this lifestyle makes him unhappy. Instead of saying "yeah, I live at home and work a dead end job, and I'm satisfied with that for now, because I'm young and life will change", he denies that this is a dead end job, he denies that he has nothing, and he denies that he's going nowhere at the moment, then he gets angry at others for mentioning these facts.

I didn't start a fight with SecondClass, all I said was nobody who is looking to hire you is actually going to Google you.

This upset SecondClass, who felt that he should be important enough to his employer that they would take it upon themselves to learn not only what kind of trouble he's been in, but to investigate his personal life, look at social media, learn about him personally, which doesn't start to happen until you've made it much further in life.

But I don't believe he's so deluded that he doesn't know he exists at the lowest rung, I think he knows exactly where he falls in life, and just fronts about it nonstop.

So what's the point here?

The point is, instead of pretending his life is better than it is, all he needed to say was "I'm happy the way things are." Only that's also not true. So ultimately, if SecondClass wants to be happy, he might find more success in becoming happier by taking action to change his life rather than lying about being happy on the internet.

It's like I've been saying all along, a person who is happy with their life doesn't become upset when someone is frank about it.

Bonus Round: Misgendering
SecondClass has personal philosophies on gender, sex, and basic human rights which I feel is destructive to the lgbt community. More importantly, I feel these stances too sharply contrast the feelings of most lgbt and especially trans people, which makes our very political movement to be accepted much harder. By taking exclusionary steps against him I feel that my trans peers enjoy a better lifestyle.

This bids the question, what makes us more valid than him?

I don't suppose anyone is more valid than anyone else, but I'm not letting people like that hijack our movement and make it about them. If you wanna have a movement about converting all men into sissies and killing the ones that won't convert, leave us out of it.

I don't want to lend anyone with that kind of agenda a single drop of credence. When SecondClass chooses to transition for a reason other than "women are superior" maybe I'll consider him a trans woman, but nobody is allowed to bank off the struggles of trans women because they wanna join the "winning team".

That's disgusting.

"Dead end job"? Nope, it's a great job that I love.

Obviously you have some issue with me, after all you're misgendering me still. Hit me up at Carmen#0001 on Discord so we can sort this out.
You know, nobody believes that you're actually so delusional that you can't see that you don't really live, you're just existing.

I know it scares you to think about what difficult changes you need to make, but you don't need to pretend you're happy in the meantime.
I am happy with my current living situation. What I'm not happy with are people being mean to me on the Internet and saying I'm some hopeless lost cause or that I'm a bad person. As I said, you definitely have an issue with me, so please stop whatever you're doing here and address me on Discord.
if the way I described your life makes you feel bad, you should make your life better instead of blaming me

The Flood / Amazon's "Undone" - Life is Strange the TV show
« on: October 26, 2019, 06:21:09 PM »
The show is really information intensive and demands the attention of the viewer, but I've enjoyed it.

The only similarity to Life is Strange is the main character's ability to travel through time at will, but there's all kinds of strange things that happen.

I don't wanna say too much about it, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen it and what they thought?

also bruh they didn't even call your last employer, or any of your references, much less google you, not to mention if there was a background report, they just hired someone to scan criminal records, not to actually investigate you
maybe not at mcdonalds
he isn't qualified to do much else, so it's a safe assumption yeah

although, the kind of boss or hiring manager who maybe skims your resumé and doesn't call any of the phone numbers on it except for yours is more or less ubiquitous in any job that doesn't require a college degree, and several that do
Dude what's your problem? I work at a hotel, I'd kill myself before going back to the food industry. Also please don't misgender me!
ah so Starbucks didn't work out eh?

color me shocked

nonetheless, my point had nothing to do with fast food, it was more about the caliber of the work, and frankly, I don't know why you're acting offended

you're not qualified to do anything else

if you don't like it, then are you really going to get mad at me for saying it out loud, or would you rather do something about it? Go get the qualifications you need to live a life that doesn't make you feel bad when you see it laid out in writing

otherwise, you'll never be more than a clerk at a motel, a waiter at waffle house, or a cashier at Burger King

these aren't reflections of you, they're reflections of the choices you have made, and if that's not the person you wanna be seen as, buddy that's on you
I didn't even apply at Starbucks, I was going to apply but I got instantly hired at the first place I applied to, this Day's Inn.

What do you mean by the "caliber" of work? Working at BK or Waffle House is low-caliber, yes. Working at a damn hotel is classy, and honestly is one of the most chill jobs out there. You get to be on your computer for 80% of the time, and as long as you're fulfilling your duties and you're clean/nice/pleasant, no one cares.

What "choices" have I made? I made the choice to go to Florida to support my seizure-ridden mother and little brother. I made the choice to get a job in the hospitality industry, a sector I personally enjoy and that's suited to my amicability and other talents. I made a CHOICE to keep living my life rather than go lay on the floor and cry about how I'm universally disliked. It's a wonder I even get up, but yes, I make that choice every morning.
bro no I'm being serious, you have a dead job and moved to Florida to live with your mother

Crack the Case!


THE RULES

Your object is to uncover the truth behind the scenario below.

You may ask the Game Master any yes or no question, and I will reply with one of the following:
Yes
No
Yes and No
Irrelevant
I don't know


The game ends when a player can answer, in a single post, the following questions:
What happened?
Who did it?
How did they do it?
Why did they do it?



The Emperor's Jade Cricket Box has been stolen!

An investigation was conducted, and there are only two men in The Forbidden City who could have taken it; both work at the palace, both claimed innocence.

The Emperor turned to his Magician in this time of need, asking him to use his powers to find which is guilty. The Magician brought the Emperor and the servants to the outer walls of the palace.

"Cut a stalk of bamboo exactly forty inches tall, and plant them side by side here." he instructed them.

They servants obeyed, one man planted his stalk on the left, the other on the right.

"My Emperor, do you find the two stalks to be identical?"

The Emperor saw that the stalks were exactly the same length.

"In the morning, we shall return to here. The stalk planted by the innocent man will not change, but the stalk planted by the guilty man will grow an inch before sunrise."

The four returned at morning, and saw that the stalk on the right was exactly one inch taller than it's counterpart on the left.

What happened?

also I'm p hype tbh

I've got reservations, of course, but I will see every star wars movie in theaters until I die no matter how bad they are because I'm a hopelessly enslaved fanboy

or maybe it's because my father took me to see ROTS in theatres and since then going to a movie has been a de facto activity for my sister, my father and I when we see each other, so going to see star wars kind of feels like that again

Gaming / Re: Destiny 2 is actually pretty good now
« on: October 13, 2019, 04:56:19 PM »
So let me get this straight: In a game so heavily based in Halo Reach's weapon sandbox...

It's perfectly fine to:

  • Have an insta kill shoulder charge with auto lock on
  • Have Boss-Killing crowd controlling Supers also available
  • Cut said ability cooldowns in half if not more and feed into each other
  • Have aim assist perks
  • Spawn with ammo for:
    -Shotguns
    -Sniper Rifles
    -Boltshots with 5 times the range of the Shotguns
    -Up to two  plasma Grenades that actively track targets, including arround corners.

But at the same time BUNGiE thinks:

  • Hand cannons need bloom
  • Backstab assasinations would just be too rediculous
  • Heavy linear Fusion Rifles have to headshot for a kill on a Guardian
  • This deserves a """competitive""" playlist
  • players should have to play at least 8 rounds every single week for powerful rewards.

Someone explain to me how this is totally fine apparently but Halo 4 is supposed to be the seccond comming of Jim Crow according to the same people.
just play PvE tbh
