The Flood / Re: tfw no gf

Funny thing about those people and their priorities. It's the other way around. They've adopted priorities in order to hide from the thing that's eating them. By keeping moving, working, doing whatever, they're less aware of that nag at the back of their head, but it's still there.
that's more or less what i'm saying; this sort of thing is all about adaptation, and adapting to your situation doesn't have to be the result of an imposition or losing the genetic lottery

when i see a college student living in the cushy first world who could be a little smarter, but doesn't have any socially crippling mental disorders mope about how lonely they are, i see a person who hasn't adapted to his situation properly, and doesn't seem to be doing anything about it

that's what i don't like, because that person has, quite frankly, the smallest amount of hurdles to get into a relationship out of anyone else in the world—and they have the gall to beggar for attention about it on the internet. fact is, you know what you have to do to improve yourself, so just do it, and you'll probably find yourself a gf in no time

it does not get more simple

now, in fairness, we are living in covidtimes, so it's not like dating has become easier, but posting a thread like this still makes you look like a thirsty little prick to me no matter what

I can't much argue with that. Due fairness, we also live in times of massive social change. The dynamics between sexes are changing. But another thing to consider. Pain is relative to the person experiencing it for the first time. Of course a cushy college kid is going to rant on the internet, a place of neurotic divulgence no less, because that might be the hardest thing they've encountered so far in their life. Perhaps years later their whining will look much different to them if they've managed to grow and evolve as a person.

You're implying that all of them have sexual intent in mind. What about the ones that don't? What about the ones in environmental situations such as sparse populations? What about ones who can't seem to fill the intelligence gap? Or the ones who lost the genetic lookie loo lottery?
all of these people have better things to worry about than relationships, and because of this, even if they do feel lonely every once in a while, they're essentially incapable of being pathetic about it, because their situation has forced them to have priorities

As for defense, no. I would've called it that if it were. Just an examination of all the varying angles and a half hearted attempt on my part to discuss something with more depth than a puddle, even though we're typically talking about people with the depth of a puddle.

Being on this list means the chances of you going missing and having your corpse wind up in a hotel room butt-naked just quadrupled.

This is probably the first and last time I am in the same list as Verb.
Where did people get this impression that I’m dangerous or violent in any way? I abhor violence. Even in self-defense, you should strive to do as little harm as possible. It’s pretty sad people think that eccentricity/not jiving with society makes you dangerous.

In my experience with druggies in person, their eventual and likely inevitable descent into harder drugs spurs them on to do increasingly shittier and shittier things. You aren't violent now, but eventually there's a high probability that you will be.
I’m not even on DXM anymore unfortunately

Give it time. You'll get stuck in the spiral like the majority do. By your forties you'll be finished. You might not be violent, but whatever vague semblance of mental clarity you have now will be gone. Either way, you'll be a person that nobody can trust or count on for anything, which on most accounts sets off people's red flags. If you're wondering why people have the image of danger, that's the reason.
Your line of logic reminds me of something.

Quote
King Runeard: Magic makes people feel too powerful, too entitled. It makes them think they can defy the will of a king.

Elsa: That is not what magic does. That's just your fear. Fear is what can't be trusted.

Not everyone who uses recreational drugs ends up in the apocalyptic scenario you described. That’s just your fear.

If I had anything left resembling fear it wouldn't be for some random junkie's fate on some quiet forum. First sign of an addict is deflection. Defense to justify the existence, which is exactly what you're doing. What makes you different from the hundreds of thousands of junkies out there? Nothing at all with the exception of varying levels of willpower, which I can say you lack. You wouldn't have what it takes to quit let alone admit that you're walking along a downwards spiral. You show all the signs of dozens of people I've met who've burnt out or died, and you expect me to believe that you won't end up there? You'll continue to deflect that notion because it suits your wants. And that's the end of the story because anything said by you after reading this will either be a deflection, a self pity party, or a facade.

And you don't think you're generalizing a tad? Whether or not it's pathetic is redundant, I think the meme is just a manifestation of perceived hopelessness with no conduit to express said feeling anywhere else than in something that's veiled as "cringy" humor. Sit down with any of these people and talk to them and you'll find some of them can be articulate about just how awful they feel.

Whether or not a relationship is going to solve all their problems like they might hope it would is also irrelevant, because if the problem was solved they'd likely learn very quickly that it wasn't the case. I don't know if it's quite so fair to chastise those who feel hopeless on this note. Would we chastise a day dreamer who dreams of a better life outside his wageslave job and eventually starts to think that if the dream were a reality all of his problems would be solved?People tend to put a lot of stock into singular keys for fixing their lives when they lack hope.
there's a fundamental difference between vocalizing one's desires to have a better life from a vocational standpoint, and being sad that nobody's presently sucking on your genitals

you can be sad that nobody's sucking on your genitals all you want, but this internet culture of throwing pity parties for all the poor dudes out there who just can't get a break when it comes to women is just impossible for me to sympathize with, because none of these guys are actually taking any of the steps necessary to getting what they want—they're mostly just patting themselves on the back for being losers, and i kinda just refuse to take part in that

You're implying that all of them have sexual intent in mind. What about the ones that don't? What about the ones in environmental situations such as sparse populations? What about ones who can't seem to fill the intelligence gap? Or the ones who lost the genetic lookie loo lottery?

I'm not defending the behavior nor the pity parties of the thirsties out there who are too short sighted to see that if they want to achieve something in their life they have to make active change. I just think you're using too big of a brush and sweeping the other exceptions to contrary under the rug far too easily. It's easy to call somebody a loser until you sit down in their shoes.

>tfw your self-worth and happiness is not beholden to another person because i'm capable of making myself whole

Not to tie cement shoes onto the dead horse or anything. I remember what I was like when I didn't have a notion of ever having a partner. I never thought about it nor did I ever notice that I was alone. I just went about my business day by day. Then I bumped into a friend who eventually became somebody I considered my significant other.

The experience of being by yourself and "whole" if you want to call it that, doesn't compare to being "whole" as yourself and having another person who ascribes to your life. At that point, they aren't just some random person that completes you, you enhance each other to a respective level that you couldn't ascertain by yourself let alone experience.

Plus, I dare to ask the question of what's the matter with somebody wanting a partner? People don't just feel alone for the fun of it. If you feel alone then it's an obvious sign that something is missing from one's life. Granted, I understand that many people can often put too much emphasis on relationships, thinking that having a partner will solve their problems. Truth couldn't be more opposite.

The use of violence to bring about systemic or political change is literally the definition of terrorism.
Destruction or defacement or theft of property is a form of violence
Therefore rioters are inciting violence against the state to enact political change
Therefore rioters are terrorist just like George Washington, Micheal Collins, Ho Chi Minh and Robespierre all led groups of terrorists.

edit for spelling
If you have to Google “definition of terrorist” and use whatever pops up as a prop to your argument, then you don’t understand how arguments work.

You’re fighting a battle of semantics without considering what “terrorists” are actually considered.

Were the Founding Father terrorists? They used violence to bring about a political change.

Was Malcolm X a terrorist? He did the same.

No terrorist has an ideology - he has an anti-ideology. His entire belief set is an opposition to a preexisting belief set. They are terrorists because they strike terror into people, with violence and intimidation, for having the gall to freely believe in whatever they choose. They’re terrorists because when the rest of us were picking what philosophy we subscribed to, they were picking what philosophy they hated.

I don't think it's that black and white. The majority of terrorists have an ideology, and it's taken to it's maximum on one end of a scale. You can't not have an ideology in place because terrorism wouldn't function without it. Ideology is the central core of what all terrorism is about. It's two narratives and egos clashing, with one of them being so devout that they'd be willing to kill or destroy to win.
Then what separates a terrorist from a revolutionary?

An extremely fine line that's almost non-existent. There's a threshold somewhere in the mentality that changes, and I think it involves the aspect of malice. Some revolutionary's in the past have achieved their goals with limited use of violence or force, or at minimum, attempted to control the violence so that it was mitigated into a sector of sorts. It wasn't violence for the sake of violence, but a means to an end that had to be mitigated as much as possible. With terrorists, violence is also a means to an end, but there's no limit on mitigation, and I find that there's often an introduction of malice because of this.

Not only is a terrorist fighting for his ideals, but he's invested so much into his ideal that he begins to hate his opposition, paving the way for acts that not only seek to destroy the opposition, but to cause excess suffering. You can see this example in deep end political spectrums all the time.

Semi-normal human beings will argue their political side, treat the other side as opposition, and attempt to win. Deep end political zealots, on the other hand, will begin to preach violence against the other side, or act violently or disturbingly in the presence of their opposition.

At the root of terrorism is war. Both revolutionaries and terrorists create the product of war, be it physical or ideological. The line that separates them is how fat they're willing to go. Revolutionaries are the precursors to terrorists.

I've always wondered something about trans folk. Because our bodies naturally produce their respective hormones, does that therefore mean anybody who is trans has to keep taking suppliments to counteract the balance of naturally produced hormones versus delivered? Or is there some sort of balancing point where your body is just altered enough that it switches to producing the opposite kind in greater quantity naturally?
Essentially, you have to shut down your body's natural production of sex hormones using one drug, and introduce the desired hormones back into the body using another.

It's a lifelong treatment.

Kinda what I figured. That sounds semi-awful to have to rely on the medical system to provide the neccessary means, especially if you're american. I bet it costs a bit doesn't it?

Culture these days seems pretty rampant about punishment after accusation rather than punishment after evidence. It's all too easy to smear anybody's name in accusation alone lately.

The monument demolishing is the same principle as what's recently been nicknamed cancel culture. The real roots of cancel culture lie in the growth of political correctness and attempting to whitewash impact and truth. To answer the question, I'd simply ask another question. Is blacklisting somebody and destroying their career a correct moral move to make over some internet statement made over a decade ago?

Personally I don't think so, because it does not acknowledge the possibility that said individual has matured or grown in that time span. I think this principle should be applied to monuments as well. It's a relic from another era. Information is the most important tool we have, whether or not the information suits our worldviews. These monuments provide a window into viewing the past and the people in that past, no matter how ugly. If anything, they should act as a reminder of what we could become again if we don't watch our step. We shouldn't give in to kneejerk emotional responses, "bad man in past must be erased!"

Bad man in past must be studied so that his mistakes are not replicated.

It may or may not be old news to you bunch but I was personally mildly fascinated to learn that CE Anniversary contains two bugged lines of code that persist into the MCC, which account for about 75% of Halo CE's graphics.

Bumpmaps in CE:A are totally fucked and only work if you shine an independant light on them, like your flashlight, and transparency shaders are also botched as well, rendering anything in the game that had a transparency shader as a somewhat "off" looking mess.

In comparison, if you run your original xbox CE alongside CE:A in classic graphics mode and compare both of the games side by side, the original xbox has superior graphics. All because of several lines of code. Neat.

Finished another on the backburner.

An edit as I think I'd like to add some notes to the picture. I've practiced for about a decade now, how to just open myself up when I work and let whatever shit I carry deep down come out. I use music as a medium to space myself out and go somewhere far, and for that I have my significant other to thank for teaching me how. Before I met her, my life wasn't the best, and I teetered on the brink of suicide. After her death, I fell much further into these particular depths.

I can remember during these phases my affinity for heights, in which for some reason I was at a very distinct peace while up high, until one day the notion that I could jump and die sunk into the corners of my mind. It sunk in there until I was at peace with death, looking down onto the world below. My life was in such a terrible state that death was the only thing of meaning, and it called out to me.

Even today, looking at towers and high places, I feel that somewhat unsettling feeling of peace. It's pretty clear, studying my own work in self reflection that this was intended to evoke that feeling, both the despair and duality of beauty to it in my warped state of mind.

I've met fucked up homeless people with less salt than the lol community. Which is honestly rather depressing to think about.
How is that depressing?

That some bum on the streets in probably the worst condition they'll be is less salty than a screaming manchild ignorant to their luck of condition in life.
god you're fucking dumb. You have zero grasp of how humans work. Are you autistic or on the spectrum? I'll excuse your ignorance then, but if not, jesus christ you talk like a boomer. "Video games are a waste of time stop getting mad when playing them go outside. Oh you're depressed? Think of all the starving children in africa who die"
I certainly didn't state anywhere that video games were a waste of time.
you did tho. You said people aren't allowed to get invested in a game, or a match and rage when they lose because they want to win so bad. Salt doesn't come from life sucking, it comes from not being able to get what you want. A homeless man most likely didn't try hard to succeed and then failed so miserably he lost everything and can't come back. Homeless people most likely feel powerless, or feel that the system ain't worth living in. It has nothing to do with salt

Never said they weren't allowed.Putting implied meanings into my words again. People are allowed to do as they wish but it doesn't make it any more or less inane.

"Salt doesn't come from life sucking, it comes from not being able to get what you want."

Self defeating sentence.  Life sucking on occassion can be summed up as not getting what one wants. I knew many homeless who could be salty and bitter over that. But never to the extent I've seen some gamers rage in their own particular way. Keep in mind that I never said somebody can't get salty over what they want to have it denied. The psychology behind games creates an immense need and focus, so naturally if anger arises it will be as intense as the need. The key difference between a manchild and a rational human being is whether or not they choose to lose control of their emotional stability and rage. Which is why I find raging gamers to be a pathetic sight. I've walked alongside people who've had reason to rage as much as some gamers do, and yet they maintained a presence of decency and respect throughout their entire time with me.

So perhaps you can understand my thoughts now. Have you ever been sad in your life? Really sad, down and out to the point of tears? And have you ever bumped into someone who was also sad to the point of tears, but found out that their reason for being so upset wasn't really much of a valid reason? It works the same with anger.

Before you say that I said one can't be angry, I never advocate for that. People always get angry sometime, even me. The difference is how they choose to handle it. The very subject of this thread was the salty community of lol after all. Their bouts of saltiness are pathetic.
Your attitude is detrimental. You're saying people should stop taking things as seriously as they do and control themselves. Geniuses, athletes, pretty much anyone at the top will lose themselves to their job. They'll neglect the fact that they're crippling themselves, eating for days, or other shit because they're so invested. I don't know why you're comparing a gamer who is trying their best but failing, and a homeless person who doesn't have enough money to live comfortably. If we're going to the extremes and saying that the homeless person is trying reaaaally hard to get jobs to the point where they're obsessed, then it's on the same level of intensity that athletes, geniuses and other are feeling. Humans don't care about what's normal or accepted as good conduct when they get tunnel vision on what they want. They will sacrifice everything for it.

Never said anything about taking a situation more or less seriously. I just find people's lack of composure over what's arguably trivial in a lot of instances to be a display of something almost akin to that of a child, which in my shoes, I'd be embarrassed to fall victim to. Don't misunderstand me, I know how people act when they're invested. It doesn't make rage any less of a childish thing depending on the situation.
uch to rage and act retarded is an activity meant mainly for relaxation, even if they are invested in it.
I'm telling you dude, your idea of what's mature and what isn't is super detrimental. To become an adult you have to lose your ego and feel like a shell that's living life on autopilot. Never truly invested in anything. Take a gamer that rages a lot in videogames and put him in a real life crisis and he will act the way normal people would. There is the argument that if you try and fail you will feel worse than if you don't try and fail. That's true, if a gamer tries hard and fails he will either get mad or sad. That's reality for those who are invested. Do you think becoming sad is more mature than becoming mad?

I don't believe becoming sad or mad are the marks of maturity. Everybody experiences emotion by default, it's what you choose to do with that emotion when it hits you that marks your emotional maturity and your ability to control yourself. If you can learn to control your emotions, then no longer are you a puppet for reasons and actions you don't stop to think about. Nowhere did I say that you had to live life on autopilot. I lived life on autopilot, and it's a different kind of hell. As for a loss of ego? I think some people would benefit in their lives to shave a bit off.

Imagine being a fly and being breathed in by a giant and then endlessly being tossed around a dark cavernous tomb until you get stuck on a wall of flesh and dissolved by acid

Well, out in the big wide world there are some people who have that kink, supposedly.
