This entire thing pisses me off so much. We're being sold an upgrade that is a downgrade, and everyone is buying into it.

Its time people start rethinking what they really need a phone for tbh.All these tech upgrades that amounts to a shitty computer. And phone companies keep inflating prices because people get suckered into "ten dollar a month" financing for an 700 dollar phone. And they keep making shitty changes because people keep buying them. >_>

I only have an S8 because it was on sale when I signed up for my carrier, otherwise I'd still be using an LG i bought at Target for less than 100 dollars. And between that and the S8 there's virtually zero change in how I use it, or its overall performance for that use.

Shit, a 50 dollar Boost Mobile burner was more than capable for me like 8 years ago lol. Tbh after this is paid off I'm gonna be done with flagships. The smartphone market is getting cray. <_<

I feel like Rey would be the better choice by a wide margin

Have her become the villain and Kylo become the hero to reverse the roles established

This would be the most interesting option.

Or maybe itll be like Rogue One where everyone up to release "yeah, well obviously they gotta SPOILERS"

And then when the jokes and predictions were true everyone was like "They really didnt HAVE TO do those spoilers tho"

I like Kazooie better just because I prefer most of the worlds and atmosphere.

Tooie is good but its too grim at times and tbh Im not a big fan of some of the minigames.

I do love how they expanded the world, though. It was basically a cross between an Adventure and a Platformer.

I remember having no idea "J" was a racial slur until I lazil used i while texting shorthand and somebody told me lol.

Ive yet to hear an actual Japanese person's input on it but I'm not so attached to the word I feel any great loss in just texting "JP" instead lol.

But related to the topic, anyone want to weigh in on if "spook" can be used in an innocuous context without raising eyebrows? Its a kind of a weird thing that can be used to refer to ghosts, CIA agents, and as a racial slur. Not that I use it frequently but now its on my mind. >_>

There was a story that came ou from someone that left Trumps primary campaign that claimed this.

She asserted Trumps campaign was primarily to help his brand, and his highest aspirations for the election was as a 2nd place protest candidate in the Republican primary.

I cant remember where it was published or if it has since been debunked, though.

Once the phase 1 characters retire from it I can see it losing popularity and eventually going to DTV or cable.

But Tom Holland is young so as long as they had him sign that contract in blood they can probably have him replace the Phase 1ers as the central pillar and keep going.

There's so many horror stories abouy behind the scenes PR i feel like we'd have heard it by now. And honestly at peak Power Rangers Haim probably didnt need to harass anybody, he made enough money to pay hookers to snort cocaine off hundred dollar bills.

I will do none of that. I will never just give in and let the transplants have their way like you want. I already do my part to let them know they aren't welcome here and they need to leave but at the same time I'm only one man.

You've made a pretty big assumption about me right off the bat. And it's kind of depressing.

I don't want you to lose something important to you. I'm encouraging you to reevaluate your feelings and behavior, and seriously consider how you are letting these things shape your character.

And I'm encouraging you to apply your passion for your town in ways less childish than petulant, xenophobic rants on the internet. What is "your part"? What are you doing to preserve your town?

Because you're not one guy. I'm sure there are countless others who want to preserve that history and culture as well.

You clearly struggle with a lot of anger, bitterness, and resentment. To the point you've pre-emptively assigned me as an ally to some nefarious transplant bogeyman. You don't need to do that. You don't need to assume that people are always out to get you.

I have seen you get baited pretty hard here. And that ruined some potentially decent topics you've made. But the rest of the world isn't going to stop being dickheads, and your persona here engenders very hostile responses.

So please, if nothing else, take a step back and examine yourself. Look at what you're doing. Look at how it's affecting you.

ZombiePelican posted...

I already do, do you think this is all I do about this? I come here to post my opinions and thoughts just like everyone else here and if you don't like what I post then f*** off.

Whenever you have a cool head, please review your posting history. The vast majority of your posts are rooted in anger, hatred, and discontent. The vast majority of your topics necessitate that something or someone is wrong, and implies a demand for retribution.

I rarely post in your topics, btw. I dont have much invested in your well-being, but it's just sad to watch. The therapist remark wasn't meant to invalidate or dismiss your feelings. I think that you should seek help in adressing your feelings more constructively. That doesn't mean giving up your desire to preserve your culture, but look into ways that do so more effectively while improving your mental and emotional health.

Transplant detected. Where'd you settle and how many locals did you displace?

My grandparents were immigrants from different parts of the world. I've spent my entire life living between Maryland and Delaware. One side of my family has lived in the same house since the 60s. I'm currently in a cozy little apartment hiding behind some backroads, in an area that was largely undeveloped before the apartments were built.

Unless there were some homeless or squatters hiding in a tree house that got knocked down by the construction, Im fairly sure I havent displaced anybody.

The whole world isnt out to get you.

You should really consider seeing a therapist. A therapist would help you constructively deal with these emotions.

Your rage against the establishment means nothing on CE. For your own health, you need to learn to cope, or to educate and train yourself and do something tangible for the good of your city. Your behavior on CE isn't helping New Orleans or yourself.

He's onto some really interesting stuff but he falls apart at correlating porn with what people actually pursue and assuming there's some massive deception going on.

Porn is very different from actual sex and intimacy. You watch one, and experience the other. The end result is largely the same but they scratch two diffetent itches.

Well there is in a sense. We're all into some freaky stuff but we're not gonna be open about it. He's basically saying that what people search for isn't really matching up to what people are saying publicly. It's not a huge revelation but it does make you wonder how much social stigmas are actually influencing our sexualities and dating lives. How many people out there are clearly attracted to each other but won't date or have sex because of stigmas?

That is all very interesting. But I honestly believe that in a lot of cases, if social pressures disappeared, there wouldnt be much change in the types of relationships you see.

Some changes, sure. But I think there are far more complicated issues.

One would be the generational thing. Men liking the elderly. They may think its hot to watch, but how many of those viewers would find much in common with someone forty years their senior? Or how many seniors would find much in common with them?

Obviously those relationships do happen, but I'm skeptical that there's a nation of granny-chasers hiding in the shadows of societal stigmas.

Good luck explaining that line of reasoning to a girlfriend/wife.

From personal experience, I dont have any interest in porn since being married.

On the flip side, my wife and I have tried some kinky shit, thinking it'd be hot because we saw some videos or read something, but it just ended up feeling weird.

Porn is a narrative, choreographed. The appeal is the garish, flamboyant display of carnal lust and sexuality.

Intimate sex is all about a personal connection between partners.

Though without getting more personal with the data there's not much to extrapolate. People approach intimacy differently. Obviously my experience is anecdotal.
