Lurker > shyguybry

I mostly lurk, but anything Fandom has done hasnt affected me in the slightest. If anything, Im glad horny posting was banned. Too many ppl here acting like theyre 13 and first time on the internet. It was sad and pathetic.

Just the scenario of being in the woods at night is terrifying. Im not a woodsy guy, Id probably do some dumb shit to piss off the bear not even realizing it. Man all day.

Saw this just now. 14 years old is insane.

Wow, it feels like Im back in the R/HH boards again. Good to see Kendrick still doing it all these years later.

King of the Fall is the best Weeknd song.

A general question, do you guys care that much about CE? The message boards could be wiped tomorrow and itll be just another day.

Stop playing a game that triggers you? Its the whole Tyler the creator meme, just walk/get away from it/play Mario or something. Why are you inserting yourself in a space you know will trigger you? I dont get it.

Voting IS saying NO to something. In 2020, I said NO to Trump being president again.

Countless others. Until there isn't.

There were countless socialists, until they weren't. Countless trade unionists, until they weren't. Countless Jews, until they weren't.

When those people were being dragged away to the camps, how many people decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to stop it? That someone else would surely prevent things from getting out of control?

And uh, if you picked up on what I'm referring to and think "Hey, that's an extreme comparasion"!

Yes.

Because we're dealing with a man who openly wants to be a dictator, reminds Holocaust survivors of Hitler, and seems to be a friend to the neo nazis.

Seems like going to a voting booth and saying NO to all of that is a lot easier than the alternatives.

I meant it in literal terms. In your scenario all I had to do was say no and loved ones lives. I cant just say no on Election Day and that instantly converts to a Biden vote.

Trump was always all those things though. Its not new hes racist, friends with racists, hates women, etc. Its nearly a repeat of 2020, people were saying the same thing about Trump, Its just another election year. If Trump wins w/o cheating, its gonna be my fault for not voting rather than the ppl that actually voted for Trump?

When you mention those dragged away from camps in the past, who are you equating them to today?

It's normal for you because you or your loved ones aren't affected, but it doesn't make sense to assume it's this way for everyone. Like, if you had a trans relative in the wrong area, their life got significantly worse. Assuming you cared about them, would you not take issue with Trump?

Trans relative or not, Id tell a loved one to gtfo of whatever area/state youre in and live with me while we figure things out. Its the same as if I had a relative living in a dangerous neighborhood, Id tell them get out of there asap and live with me while things get figured outonly to come live in my dangerous neighborhood lol, nah jk just found the scenario funny telling a relative to move outta the hood only to move into your hood.

Depression is certainly a struggle, one I deal with as well. It can be easy to stop caring, because it's safer than being hurt. But it's ultimately just a slower, more drawn out way of hurting yourself.

Think about your loved ones for a minute. Think about the people you care about, the people who have been there for you when no one else has.

Now imagine someone wants to hurt those people. Imagine someone wanting to utterly destroy them and wielding the power to do so.

Now imagine if you had the power to stop them. Imagine if it was as simple as standing up and saying "NO" to them.

What do you do in that scenario?

In that scenario, if it was as simple as saying no, of course Id stop them. I cant equate that scenario to voting because it isnt as simple as saying no. To continue with your scenario though, I have the power of a single no stopping someone from destroying loved ones, but if I dont say no, there are countless of others willing to say no to stop destruction from happening.

Because who's washing my back doesn't matter when the alternative is far worse.

It's "go to work on the weekend and deal with my jerk boss" or "stay home and get shot by a home invader". That's what trans people, women, other minorities are dealing with this election. Taking the chances with the killer because you don't want your boss to have the satisfaction would be a crazy, self-destructive decision.

Clearly you have no real fears and nothing to lose so you don't care like I do. You have privilege.

I gotta be honest, Ive been dealing with a lot the past several years, I have no fear cuz Im not afraid to die/of death. Im a white hispanic. As Gladius has said, maybe my depression is causing me being apathetic. Maybe things will change in the near future, but if Im being real now, idc to vote. Im in a blue state (NJ), friends/family I have are all voting Biden, Im rooting for you, Im on your sidethe only thing in your eyes separating me from basically being a friend or foe is me not voting.

Yea, youre right. I wasnt referring to you specifically, but the general consensus of it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I care about more than just myself, my girlfriend for example. I can care from a distance. Would I be considered a bad person if I want LGTBQ ppl to succeed, but not caring enough to go to a march or rally? I want good for everyone, life is short, I just dont care to be part of any of it. Its probably my depression, maybe itll ease up by the time November comes and Ill think differently. I respect your opinion.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Huh? I like to give gifts cuz it makes ppl happy, but to loved ones. If you aint in the circle and want something from me, Im gonna want an IOU depending on the person tbh. Ive never donated cuz life is rough, but I almost always carry a bit of cash on me cuz Im asked often from the homeless in NYC. Me not voting doesnt equal to me wanting people to die/lose rights. Thats some insanity thinking right there.

And if a meteor was gonna fall out of the sky and crush me if I didn't go to work on that Saturday, I wouldn't give a damn what I thought of my boss. I'd be up and at 'em.

Considering whether or not being crushed into paste is okay, because my boss didn't offer me incentives, is an insane thought process. At some point, self-preservation should kick in.

"Ok being alive is nice, but I'm not going to just get out of bed because it will keep me alive. I need getting out of bed to offer me more than not killing me!"

Im over here talking about simple things like you wash my back and I wash yours and youre bringing up meteors and human paste lol.

I admire your dedication to proving my point.

Idk what youre even talking about, but ok lol.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I stated earlier in the topic Im not a political guy. Besides fucking up COVID responses, lying about countless things, January 6, and I believe abortion rights in certain states, idk any other shit hes doing cuz idc to look into it. It works with Biden too for the people refusing to vote for him because of Palestine. Idc what Biden is doing or not doing. Hes got a job to do and I assume hell do the best he can to appease everyone. Youre talking to someone that just wants to go to work, play video games a bit, smoke and chill and travel once in a while. Ive been doing those things when Obama, Trump and now Biden as president.

DrizztLink posted...

The rights of tens of millions of people are on the line and you refuse to do anything unless maybe they toss a little cash your way.

So yes, you proved my point. Reconsider your opinion.

What point? That I hold that much power/my personal vote will decide if millions lose their rights or not? If thats the case and your point, whats a dozen donuts to someone that has the power to change history? I know its illegal to bribe now, but voting should have incentives for ppl to go out and vote.

When I have a day off and my manager needs me to come in, hell ask me and offer me lunch. If it wasnt for the lunch, I wouldnt have gone in, lol. Its that simple really. If you need something from me, I need something from you.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I mean, Im not lying. Trump was elected and life went on normal for me for the most part besides all of COVID. Bidens president now and life is going at the usual norm for me. You gotta stop creating enemies with anyone who doesnt do exactly as you do.

DrizztLink posted...

Well, as long as you're okay.

Sure, millions of other people will lose their rights, women will die in droves, but you personally should be able to skate so that's perfectly acceptable.

Hope you don't consider yourself a good person.

All of those things will happen if I personally dont vote? I dont hold that much power my guy. Im on your side and Im rooting/want Biden to take it. I have no incentive to vote. I wish voting had something like go vote and well give you a $10 prepaid card or free dozen donuts at DD or something. I am a good person.

Its the Ryu part people always guess wrong (its the BoF one).

Its funny you say that, I just attained BoF2 on GBA, gonna start it soon. How do you like it? Should I play the first BoF or can I jump straight to BoF2? Never played any of the BoF games, but love RPGs.

Sephiroth_C_Ryu posted...

Well I hope you are not marginalized or even slightly a minority of any kind then. Because the cost of doing nothing is MUCH worse for them if the reds win.

I was fine when Trump won the first time, Ill be fine again if he wins, but Im not expecting him to.

On another subject, cool to see another Sephiroth fan! My favorite video game character ever.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Yep, its a message board. I can post wherever I want. I let it be known idc and because you do care, youre upset. Ill be rooting for Biden on the sidelines, thats as far as it gets for me.

Humble_Novice posted...

Or maybe you're just lazy?

No, not lazy. I just dont care.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Im in NJ. I meant it more in the way of I dont care enough about politics to look up local candidates, vote, etc.

bluezero posted...

There are more people on the ballot than the President, your local elections are important. Imagine using being depressed in April as an excuse to not do something in November.

Im not a political person, idk any local candidates or elections and honestly dont care. Yes, Ive been overly depressed for a long time.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Like I said in another topic, Im too depressed to care about much of anything. If it makes you feel better, Im in NJ, so well be going Biden anyway.

Im terminally apathetic.

Idc for the protests and dont care enough to read if any students were being problematic, but why go this hard on students who are protesting at their own university and not ones locking themselves up in chains on highways/bridges causing actual public disturbance?

Idc for his opinions. I only watch him on First Take.

Must be nice to live in a bubble.

Im too depressed to care tbh.

An alt that barely made the private cut off.

More of a lurker.

Deadnaming is wrong.

Im not voting period, I just dont care.

Embarrassing meltdowns in this topic. *cringe emoji*

There are a lot of users here similar to tails for continuing to care for this whole internet war drama.

The hornyposting topics were zero value. Not productive, not entertaining, not unique. They provided nothing.

This. Their world ends when hornyposting is banned. Youre on the internet, find it elsewhere. Didnt you guys create your little discord? Go do it there, life continues!

I like how defensive CE gets when protecting its only home. Were toxic? Not as toxic as you! *laughingemoji*

I remember making topics like these when I was still living with my parents lol, thanks for the nostalgia.

I thought this board is against objectifying women?

Thats unfortunate, but comparing Steph Curry to Caitlin Clark is stupid. Shame on journalist Lisa Ling. Do better.

I just want to make the playoffs.

The people in this article literally say they won't vote for Biden. That's as good as voting for Trump.

CNN's Rene Marsh spoke with four Black voters in Georgia who were registered Democrats and supported Biden in the last election but said they wouldn't be voting for him or former President Trump this November, because of their strong disagreement over the U.S. approach to the war.

The people in this article literally say they wont for Trump either. Dont lie next time and quote the whole truth.

CE cant find things to get mad about now, so have to go back in time to get mad at things then? Id find it hilarious if it wasnt so sad.

I used to work as a lube tech. We only had people step out if we were performing a tire rotation.

I watch it casually. I dont know much fighters besides the top known ones. Im a huge fan of boxing, but losing interest due to obvious corruption.

Yea and you failed already cuz its no sabo.

DemonBuffet posted...

This is a gotcha moment lol?
Conceal carry is for self-defense, not to engage in a fire fight. Especially if you dont know how many shooters or what kind of weapons they have.
Imagine if this guy did try to defend the crowds and went out of his way to look for a shooter engaged with said shooter only to be shot and killed. You guys then would be celebrating how his conceal carried ass got blasted and how funny that is.

Tbh, it feels like they WANTED this to happen based on the replies. They actually seem upset it didnt lol.

The card game is lit.
