If his influence was so profound, he could have helped save democracy and be hailed a hero for it, but alas.

Truly an insane thing to say.

One of the best catches of the year so far.

What was the rest of the sentence?

While I don't disagree with the OP, a lot of the increased prevalence of the term "narcissism" in every day parlance is due to the pervasive influence of media in our everyday lives. It's boring and cliche to bring it up all the time, but it's also a very prevalent phenomenon.

True that playa, I had a crush at first, then it became on and off again love. Love is not just a blanket of security with some kind of serenity attached to it, sometimes its messy, unruly, and its a symptom of the two peoples lives gone awry.

For example, I knew I loved that girl, but I also loved the story attached to it. I wanted to have that tumultuous love be a component of my life story that made me tolerate crap that had me almost blowing my brains out. Got to the point I couldnt see the forest from the trees, but that was years later because that crush had turned into a deep love and care for that person.

Was it worth it? I mean, I dont have regrets about it. Couldve saved myself both heartache and headaches, but I just wanted it that way, I guess. Hoping for the best out of it until I realized I wanted much more out of a person as I grew older.

So much history there that made us sit down with her head on my shoulder wondering how things would go for us a couple of months ago. So much history that made me be okay with hearing how she found someone else and was worried about how it was going.

This guy gets it.

Dumbasses that go the speed limit or slower in the leftmost passing lane on interstates

I have less of a problem with this. Being in the left lane doesn't convey any special privileges that allow you to drive over the speed limit. People drive way too fucking fast anyway, especially in the metro Atlanta area where I live. Your other points I agree with though.

not really seeing anything i said that was hypocritical

care to elaborate zik

It's blatantly hypocritical to represent liberal values like constitutional rights and then shrug your shoulders when a guy you don't like has his rights violated like this.

You'd rather attack the messenger than the actual writers of the message.

The medium is the message.

It got a lot of hate when it came out, and there are definitely some big problems, but I liked it enough to 100% it. It's overall a middling game but fun.

Isn't the FF13 trilogy notoriously shit?

They're way better than people give them credit for.

-ZIO- posted...

Correct.

Wow, so edgy. You should start streaming on twitch.tv

A couple days ago, some random pickup in the opposite lane just casually started to cross the center line as we approached each other, I started to worry as he got about half way into my lane before looking up from his cell phone and jerked the wheel to zig back into his own lane. I was about one second from bailing onto the shoulder.

Whatever. A crush is not love. Anyone who has been in love while actually in a relationship knows the difference.

There are many different types of love.

bsp77 posted...

I would argue a crush isn't love

Gatekeeping the idea of love. Now that's my kind of contrarian.

KajeI posted...

Frankly I don't buy it.

Same, there's going to be a catch.

I think I had a crush on a girl for the whole school year once.

You can get an NC-17 just for having too dark a tone. That's what happened with Saw 1.

IMDB says Saw is rated R.

I don't see anyone giving him shit for not knowing. I just see a bunch of people explaining why they don't like the band.

I want a new Breath of Fire game so bad.

There is a logic to:
-Extreme desire for individuality leads to avoidance of communal activities like bathing

Dubious logic at best.

wackyteen posted...

You can also flip that and say:

That's a logical fallacy. If A contributes to B, it does not necessarily follow that B contributes to A.

wackyteen posted...

-a society that lacks emphasis on communal activities, like bathing, can lead to a perception that all behaviors should be done on an individualistic level and not with any sense of community, thus leading to hyper individualism.

That's quite a leap. Maybe a given society emphasizes some communal activities and not others. Who is to say which contributes more to a sense of individuality vs. community than another?

Enclave posted...

I expressly pointed out how it's far from the only contributing factor and I also didn't phrase it in any sort of way as you have in how you narrow it down to children bathing together in school.

I notice one thing you didn't point out is how it contributes in any substantive way whatsoever beyond your bizarre speculation.

I'd go insane during the first week.

Cornmuffins posted...

That's rude. I rarely go to shows and definitely don't care enough to research bands before I see them. I sincerely hope you stub your toe.

I got whiplash from reading this post.

I like it, wouldn't say I love it.

That cover was amazing.

It's one of the worst covers of all time.

Fuck Disturbed.

He needs to resign. He isn't fit for office.

So do you have to post that shit? I'm not going to report it, but come on. Show some restraint.

He needs to be committed. I'm not kidding.

EbonTitanium posted...

Probably the same as woke.

I think it's funny that to a conservative, Marxists and neoliberals are indistinguishable.

Republicans fucking love living in a nanny state, don't ever let one of them tell you otherwise.

Maybe someone who is on the record as defending Hitler's invasion of Poland

Really?

Zikten posted...

I think the CPS thing is being blamed on the audience (but not the streamer herself) of someone named Denims. I think someone from her chat might have called.

There is absolutely no evidence that it was her or someone in her chat. It's just pure speculation.

I think Ethan is on a revenge path for calling CPS on him.

Hasan had nothing to do with that, though.

Not going to lie, I was expecting some kind of Holocaust denial and praise of Hitler for burning books.

The guy saying Democrats would be handling Gaza THE EXACT SAME as Trump if they were in power is calling other simpletons folks.

That type of disingenuous bullshitting is impressive...even for CE

Biden was president for TWO FUCKING YEARS after Oct. 7.

Tmaster148 posted...

So you do support Trump.

Strider102 posted...

What?

See? Simpletons.

HashtagSEP posted...

How is a ceasefire worse than what is going on now?

Is this a real post? Israel violated the ceasefire. One side or the other always does, and it's usually the side that gets billions of dollars in aid from my country.

How to ignore the point in order to swoon onto your fainting coach - The post.

I voted for Harris. I'm not the one still fainting over the election 6 months later.

You people are fucking shameless.

Rika_Furude posted...

The point is the support for trump

If you support the Democrats on this issue, you're far closer to supporting Trump than I am.

Tmaster148 posted...

So you do much rather prefer Trump bombing Gaza and building a hotel rather than attempts at brokering peace.

That's not the real distinction though, is it? This is what you fail to understand. The choice isn't between Democrats and peace versus Republicans and genocide. We can't really have a conversation about this until you and the chorus of simpletons acknowledge that material fact.

Tmaster148 posted...

Biden did managed to get a ceasefire agreement and Harris supported a ceasefire. But I guess ceasefire is just supporting genocide so we should instead make sure the guy who said Israel should finish the job should win.

Because that's the clear logic we should go when it comes to genocide.

Oh a ceasefire agreement! Wow, amazing. Give him the fucking Nobel prize.

Behold the fruits of the Abandon Harris movement: https://www.newsweek.com/israel-preparing-full-takeover-gaza-reports-2067984

Almost every single Democrat in our federal government is 100% on board with genocide. You want to pat them on the back. This is a reality that you need to acknowledge and deal with.

So he mostly resorted to ad hominem attacks?

It was actually the other way around.

Oh, yes, the same Karl Jobst who is in complete denial over rightfully getting handed a massive L by the judge in his lawsuit with Billy Mitchell and apparently Jirard is considering suing him as well. Great dude, clearly.

Defrauding people with a fake charity isn't in the same ballpark as accusing a piece of shit liar and cheater of driving your friend to suicide.

Only about a million times. I was never really a big Disney fan, even as a kid, but for whatever reason I watched this one all the time as a kid.

Keeping Nazis out of anything is good.

That aside, saying what punk is and isn't doesn't seem very punk at all.

(Obviously, only The Saints, X-Ray Spex, and The Dickies cover of the Banana Splits theme are truly punk).

Punk is holding hands with your best girl.

I said that might apply for America but cannot be applied globally.

"But whatabout..."

You didn't even name a single other country that would apply. How could I respond to that? Nothing you said contained a modicum of substance at all.

All that said, fine. Ill break it down into baby steps for you.

Respectfully, go fuck yourself.

I guess it depends on where you are but my local punk scene is pretty inclusive and friendly.

Astral Chain is criminally underrated. I wish it got a wider release or even a sequel down the road.
