Plus, I dare to ask the question of what's the matter with somebody wanting a partner?
i never said there was anything wrong with it
i've just always thought of this "tfw no gf" meme as the most pathetic, whiny, and obnoxious shit ever, because it just so happens that the only people who post things like this are the ones who place too much stock on relationships in general
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.

>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.

So if we use your brain's logic, does that therefore make all ass men scat men?

the biggest problem with asses is that, no matter what, i simply cannot dissociate them from the toilet
what (most) people are attracted to are the buttocks, not the rectum though. The only thing the buttocks have to do with shitting is sitting down.
still, that doesn't really break the association that my brain indelibly fastens between the two concepts
they're close enough to each other to where what you just said registers as splitting hairs to me, even if it logically isn't
So if we use your brain's logic, does that therefore make all ass men scat men?

Mosquitoes don't seem to bite me anymore. They must not like my blood anymore. I can't imagine why. . .

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?
Just start your own soy farm
And further induce the production of soyboys? I'll pass.

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 individual in question doesn't matter to me personally, but I'd take it with a grain of salt until actual evidence surfaces, like everything else out there. Me Too started a crock of shit platform to do more harm than good.

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.

Just went and got tested this morning. Not a pleasant experience, but at least it was free and quick. Sucks that I can't work until the results come back, but I have been so exhausted lately that it's probably a good thing for my health.
I take it you work somewhere in an essential service category? It would be a good thing, no doubt. Exhaustion of any kind wears down your immune system, among other factors. Just take it easy and be a sloth for a bit.
Ha, Georgia doesn't care about virus prevention at this point. Essential-Nonessential lasted a whole month before the governor started opening things again.
Had a friend down in Georgia. Doesn't surprise me really. How are you liking that narrative clash with the riots? I bet there's a lot happening down there.

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.

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. The reason I use the homeless as an example is because I've crossed paths with people of many backgrounds and stories who you'd figure would be absolutely furious at the hands dealt to them. These are some of the worst case scenarios I've seen for something going wrong in somebody's life. Some of them were angry, enough to let it affect negatively how they operated daily. And some of them rationalized it and processed it and acted with a level of dignity you wouldn't really expect. So to somebody like me, who's seen that stuff, it's almost perplexing when I watch people freak out over some shit that's arguably trivial in the long run of their life while you can have somebody who's life is ripping apart day by day and they maintain themselves. I understand investment and anger and a lot of things. And I understand that many don't care about what's considered as conduct or anything good. It's still just a sight for me to see because I can't help but think how poorly these people would fare if they were handled actual curve balls in life, and how hopelessly blind and lucky they are to exist in a state of luxury where the thing that pisses them off so much to rage and act retarded is an activity meant mainly for relaxation, even if they are invested in it.

Never implied I wasn't subject to human bouts of retardation. But I am sapient enough to know that blowing shit up/looting makes nobody's day and constitutes a pointless act.
you're not sapient enough to anything. Blowing up rich peoples' money physically is the only way for poor people to say "fuck you rich banker who have rigged the system, I'm gonna put you down a peg". It's peaceful protests that don't accomplish anything aside from black people getting more care. Fuck black people, these riots shouldn't be about them, it should be about the rich who've rigged the system to oppress normal people for their gain.
Ok then Desty my man. Let's make a plan. Let's use walmart as a hypothetical target. Now, are we blowing up walmart stores? Because that's a pretty good way to target rich people's money right? Well, that gives us an easy target of 4,756 walmarts in the US to take down, and 11,500 worldwide. I'm afraid I can't conjure up the math on the tnt explosive force needed to completely demolish a walmart, but I know it'd be quite a bit if we felt like taking out all the wally worlds in the US alone. And we haven't taken into account a random factor yet either. Civilians as collateral. Blowing up a building of any kind usually comes with the risk of taking somebody out or injuring them. You have to ask the question of whether or not the life of a bystander is worth destroying when a large corporation like walmart can absorb the loss of a store very easily via insurance, rendering any random bystander's death as pointless. We also have to take note that creating explosions and damage gives the media a tool to use against the group or people doing it. Your movement gains no positive traction that way. The way you win the war with the corporations is by winning the minds of the people who actively keep them functioning. The people who buy shit. Paint me a picture here. What would happen to a walmart, or any big brand company out there if nobody bought anything from them for a month? Two months? Six months?
