The Flood / Re: GOJI LIKES HALO 4

Halo 4 has a lot of really great custom games. That's all I really consider it good for.
Mario Kart, Mech Wars, and Ultimate Football (I guess they call it Ricochet now?) were the only things that made that game enjoyable

You don't think they have the prerogative to determine if smoking is right for them?
Smoking is objectively terrible for you. We know this to be true. Under what conditions could it be "right" for someone?
Maybe they don't care if it will kill them? Because that's the response I get from every one of my smoker friends when I ask why they binge so hard/why they're still doing it.

This life is a fleeting, violent dream.
If it's so short, why purposefully make it shorter? Why not just put a bullet in your head and call it a day?
I don't know, go find someone with a cigarette and ask them that question and see how they react.

This life is a fleeting, violent dream. Do with it as you wish, because you're the only person who can decide how to live your life. So, I don't think it's fair to condemn someone for exercising their right to personal freedoms.

I never thought the Marvel movies were anything special, anyway. Marvel has always been behind DC in terms of animation (DCAU is incredible,) and these shared universe movies they've been churning out are little more than popcorn flicks (The Avengers is the best example.) DC has the chance to tell a cerebral, gripping story with the new cinematic universe, and I'm expecting a lot from them considering the quality of their animated works.

No cause I'm not an idiot.
If I phrased my post like this, I'd have three people on my ass telling me, "I KNEW THAT YOU WERE BULLSHITTING! YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, YOU LIAR! STOP TRYING TO CAUSE ARGUMENTS YOU PATHETIC IDIOT!"
Stop baiting it holy shit. Could you be any more of a drama queen?

Because they are idiots.
i dont think thats a fair thing to say
Why not? It's something that provides zero benefit, and costs smokers their health and their money. It's a stupid thing to do.

Why anyone would START smoking in this day and age is beyond me, given that we all know it's terrible for you and expensive. I'll let old people slide who didn't know any better when they started - but teens and young adults?

Idiots.
You're talking about tobacco, yes? You don't think they have the prerogative to determine if smoking is right for them? That seems like a pretty closed minded standpoint to me.

Depends on how you interpret the meaning and worthiness of life. By my reckoning, we have no inherent purpose beyond reproduction, so if there is any meaning in this life, it's up for each individual to decide for themselves.

I live in Colorado.

I have not tried it and have no real desire to.
Did you notice any changes in CO after it was legalized? It seems to be turning a good profit for the government.
No noticeable changes for me. I was also gone for all of 2012 and 2013 though, it became legal for recreational use in January of 2014. I believe crime has dropped a bit, and it has created a lot of revenue for the state's government as you said. I believe they planned on using that money for education.

there was also a significant increase in the homeless population. too many people moving to colorado. lol.

depends on the substance.

i started smoking cigarettes because my friends did it and i wanted to see what all the hype was about. depending on the brand/if it has menthol, a cigarette can be a nice, calming experience (aside from the damage to your lungs.) i preferred natural american spirit yellows and marlboro reds when i still smoked. i quit before i ever got addicted because it's a drag on funds and not really worth binging on.

people smoke cigarettes for several reasons. peer pressure, addiction, personal preference. same for pot. i smoked pot for the first time after junior prom in 2011, liked it, and started smoking (semi) regularly my freshman year of college. i smoke pot because it helps me deal with my anxiety and my sleep problems. other benefits include cessation of physical discomfort (headache? shmoke a bowl! stomachache? shmoke a bowl! etc) and, obviously, the high. pot can give any number of different types of highs, but generally you'll either experience a cerebral high (sativa) or a body high (indica,) and many hybrid strains exist to give you both experiences. i also think weed smells really really really good so that helps keep me smoking it.

weed is addictive, but not in the way people associate with nicotine/alcohol addiction. there is no physical attachment and you wont experience physical withdrawal from quitting pot (except in EXTREME cases.) it is psychologically addictive, just like anything else in the world. its less harmful to the lungs than cigarettes (pure weed or tobacco does much less damage than tobacco mixed with volatile chemicals) and doesnt do any long term damage to your brain unless you're a chronic user who happens to be under 18.

You must live in a country that really really hates pot

Not really, just strict University policy regarding drugs.
better safe than sorry i guess. ill leave you with some tips in case you ever do decide to try it: if you smoke in your dorm, do it in your bathroom with the vent/fan on. take a toilet paper tube and stuff a bunch of dryer towels in it. when you go to exhale, exhale through the tube- it will help filter the smell and the smoke, the bathroom fan will do the rest. never hotbox a car (unless its in a garage where there's no chance someone nefarious will catch you.) never smoke in public places. pill bottles are a fantastic way to store weed and keep the smell isolated. and eyedrops do help a lot with the stoney red eyes.

Yes, I think I would.

Weed is prevalent around where I live atm but seeing as the "shop owner" is some shifty looking chav looking for a quick sell and I have no idea what sort of quality of weed I'd be buying (if it was even weed), then currently I have no desire to be near it.

If it were sold like alcohol and held to the same sort of health & safety/quality testing then I'd be far more inclined to try it, although seeing as I don't like smoking as it is I certainly wouldn't make a habit out of it.
its probably weed. people dont tend to actually not give you weed (and giving you laced weed is also really rare.) the only person ive ever seen sell something other than weed that he advertised as weed was some shifty assburglar i went to high school with. the real issue is whether you're getting mid or loud. just ask your local friends who smoke about the best place to get it from and then ask them about pricing to make sure you're getting the right bang for your buck.

While that's great, I should probably mention if I were caught with it I'm pretty much screwed. At the very least I'm kicked out of University, at worst I'm virtually blacklisted, so I'm not even considering it.

muting only serves to help cowards hide from their problems with other users instead of dealing with them
Don't be stupid. If someone is flat out dumber than you, harasses you, and won't be taught or reasoned with then muting is perfectly acceptable. Like it or not this is a text based environment and it isn't as easy to tune out text as it is speech. It just sits there. Constantly, forevermore.
no its pretty easy to ignore text. you just scroll past, close the page, or get up and go outside.

To be fair you can get spammed with notifications or PMs in some cases. I'd hope that anyone being harassed could get a mod to resolve it though (which doesn't happen on b.net)
in extreme cases where the user is a chronic dickweed (basedlove,) sure, i get it.

I don't get why people always make fun of that line.
We get that Anakin doesn't like Tatooine because of his cruddy childhood. It's just the worst way of getting that point across.
Was he alluding to Tatooine there? That completely flew over my head. I thought he was just making a comment on something random to... set the mood. I don't know. Shows you how much I give a shit about pedantic nonsense like this.
Nope, it's Lucas making bad dialogue >.>
