The Flood / boring, incoherent blog/rant
« on: December 18, 2014, 12:58:02 AM »
also a really angry and depressing one, so
if you're having a good day, don't let me rain on it

I already know none of you are gonna take this seriously, so I don't expect serious or thoughtful responses, but regardless, I'm in the worst mood I've ever been in... well, about a week. And I feel like taking some people down with me.

For some of you, I'm gonna sound like a broken record, because I talk about this all the fucking time, but it just eats and eats at me and when it peaks, I just go fucking insane because I can't handle it.

So...

I just got my grades back for my first semester of college. Straight As, except for one B-. That's not bad, huh? That's good. Yeah.
Until you look at the classes I took.
Well, I didn't take these classes--they were given to me using this "first year experience" block system that we do.

Introduction to Film.
Introduction to Literature.
United States Since 1865.
Freshman Seminar.

Not so special now, huh. Normally, I'd be pretty happy--I mean, I've never had straight As in my life, because I always slacked off in high school. It was bad. But now things are changing. I'm doing my work, getting things done, and everything's dandy.

But then I have all these people--mostly on the Internet, but I get this in real life, too, all the time--who just like to put me down. My grades mean nothing, because I'm studying such a useless subject that's not going to get me a lucrative career in the future. Because that's all that I should care about is money.

No, don't be yourself, don't follow your dreams. Be like us. Go into some STEM subject that you have no interest in. Then you can actually make money and people will care about you.

...But what if I have no interest in any of those subjects? What if I can't do math and don't have any background with engineering? What if I have this talent for writing that I'd like to explore and hone?

Doesn't matter. If you aren't studying STEM, enjoy flipping burgers for the rest of your life. Your grades mean nothing, because you're studying a pointless subject.

Okay, so what you're telling me to do is switch to some kind of engineering major, just like everyone the FUCK else in my generation, to go into a career that I don't have my heart in, have no interest in whatsoever, just so that I can make more money?

Yes.

What if that doesn't make me happy? Writing makes me happy. I was quite happy with my major until you decided to piss all over everything that I enjoy. The one thing that I enjoy in the world--THE ONE THING--I can't enjoy it, because it's not "practical".

Yes.

You realize I've given myself purpose with writing, right? And if I had it taken away from me, I would have no purpose, right?

Oh, quit being dramatic. Who doesn't like money?

I fucking hate money. And I fucking hate you, and your pretentious cocksuckery. I'm going to continue with my major, and I don't give a cunt what you think about it. This notion that I have to study some shitty STEM subject--that I HAVE to do what everyone else is doing just to make a living, is a fucking joke. I fucking hate life as it is. Why make myself even MORE miserable by committing myself to a subject that I don't have a single iota of fucking interest in?

It makes me want to just spit blood into your shit-eating face. Find me a single goddamn subject--Hey, law, I could totally go into law. I love law. "Well, you'd have to go out of state, and take another two years or four years of college..." If that's what I fucking want to do, though, why does it FUCKING matter? What the fuck do you want from me? This is horseshit.

Everything that I want to do, I can't do it.
Everything that I like, everything that makes me happy.
I'm just wasting my time with it, huh.
I should be even more miserable, because fuck me and my interests.
And you wonder why I lash out at people for their interests?

This was supposed to be a happy moment for me, but because of society's perceptions of worth, I can't be. Sometimes, I like to convince myself that I was just born in the body and mind of a person who just doesn't belong here--that I wasn't conditioned to be who I was. The more and more I get to know society, however, the more I discover that it's actually the latter that's true. Society is not to blame for all my idiosyncrasies, but I know in my heart that there is not a single thing that society can do to discourage me from doing what I want to do with my life.

I will continue being made to feel useless.
I will continue being made to feel like I'm wasting my life.
I will continue to be harassed by cocksuckers and STEM elitists.

And I will continue to respond, as I always have, in the same exact way:

Fuck you.

Fuck off.

"Puritan" isn't a counterargument either.
So far all the counter arguments I've made in my interactions with you have been met with essentially 'yea but that doesn't count becuz reasons'.

So I stopped taking you seriously a while ago and started poking you with sticks.  ;)

So on top of everything I already dont like about Edgebatim he is also an SJW...someone remind me why we unbanned him again?

How does that work, anyway?

"I'm bad at Tekken, so I'm going to complain about a specific, newly announced character for completely unrelated reasons--them being the fact that the character is yet another horrible and sexist portrayal of women!"

Dark Souls fanboys really just are the dumbest people.

I don't even know what I liked about Halo 2 more than the others.

Halo 1 was just a clunky, terrible, unbalanced piece of trash.
Halo 3, to me, felt like Halo 2, but... slower? And... bloomier.

Halo 2 felt faster. Am I wrong?

Like, it wasn't as satisfying to get kills in Halo 3.

« on: December 17, 2014, 02:54:42 PM »
Ah, okay. Well, indeed, not all psychopaths are unscrupulous murderers. I'm not a psychologist, so I don't want to speak too at length and risk embarrassing myself with ignorance... but clearly, there's a lot of psychopaths, and a lot of these psychopaths have to be a lot more psychopathic than others, enough to kill another human being for whatever reason (focusing on the unscrupulous).

Knowing that... Yeah, the notion of "evil" does seem to be irrelevant. I'd sooner use the word... pitiable to describe a psychopath.

But yes, as far as I'm concerned, it's something you don't want to be. I do agree that evil does imply a sort of complacency in one's sheer lack of scruples, but that's just because we sort of romanticize evil in media. Which isn't bad, necessarily--makes for entertaining films and such--but it makes discussion of the word quite tricky.

Either way, I'm done here, because I do feel silly judging a game based on cursory trailer footage. I doubt the game has much depth beyond what was observed in the trailer, but hey, maybe the game actually does have some artistic merit hidden in the depths. Big maybe.

Don't like it? Don't play it. It's that simple.
You're right, it is that simple. There's no need to be so glib about it, but you know, whatever.

All I'm saying is, I don't disagree with the decision to blacklist it.
(I don't disagree with it being greenlit again, either.)

I'm just saying, if it were up to me, I would have done the same thing.
And I hate censorship. Ask anyone.

What upsets me is the notion that the game Hatred is at all comparable to any of the violent video games currently on the market. Based on the trailer footage, I don't think it is.

Well, calling someone evil, it's as irrelevant as, say, calling my opposition a bunch of scum-sucking, repugnant piles of pusillanimous ever-loving shit, or any combination of colorful words I can use to describe someone I disagree with. I'm pretty adept at demeaning people, but demeaning someone has never led to one's revelation of, "Oh, he called me a... violent pig rapist, I guess that means I'm wrong now!" so, yeah, you're saying I use words like "enemy" and "evil" as insults, or demeaning words--and I absolutely agree, especially in terms of their efficiency when it comes to turning my opposition into my allies.

Which is to say, entirely inefficient.

So, obviously, that's never the goal. The goal of insulting people, much of the time, is to sort of validate myself. I like knowing who my enemy is, and I like telling my enemies if they are my enemy. That's sort of important to understand--if we have a fundamental disagreement about something--and it has to be a fundamental disagreement--we are enemies, and we have to understand that we will not get along. lol

It's... a concession that any discussion between enemies is futile, because of the fundamental disagreement. You will not engage in any intelligent discussion until you get to the core of your... ethical foundations. For example, you and I couldn't ever discuss anything involving economics, because it's complex as fuck and too much of it is contingent upon one's "moral" foundations. And I despise the word "moral". We'd have to discuss values before anything else--and even that's going to be tricky.

You say you think altruism is stupid. I say, I find it very poetic that someone who thinks altruism is stupid also believes that evil is an irrelevant concept.

So, that's our fundamental disagreement there. Would I describe you as my enemy? Uhh, nah... You have shown yourself to be a highly open and malleable individual, which is virtuous in itself...

That would be loyalty.

Obedience implies one is higher than the other.

Serious / Re: What makes a friend?
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:55:44 PM »
But then what do you mean by obedience?
There's obviously a level of mutualism there. They're obedient to each other.

I mean, I agree, obedience is a shitty word to use, but it's easy enough to glean what he's saying...

Serious / Re: Is anybody truly evil?
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:52:10 PM »
So, for you, the word "evil" doesn't contain any sort of agency in its definition?
Basically. I use it in the same vein as the word "villain", or "enemy". You wouldn't describe yourself as evil, but you'd describe your enemies as evil. You wouldn't describe yourself as an enemy, but you'd describe those who are evil as your enemies. There's probably a term for words like that. I don't know what it is.

It doesn't matter if one is single player and the other is multiplayer. If they have the same objective, they should be treated equally.
In multiplayer, you're still not killing for the sake of killing. You're killing for the sake of getting a win over your opponent. It's also what I'd call a virtual war.

Hatred is nothing of the sort.

You are the stupidest user on this website.
