Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Lady Amalthea The overall sentiment of childish younger adults/teenagers, needing to grow the fuck up and fast. Is a statement I can 100% get behind. And I agree with what you said, and the point of kids not even being responsible enough for their hobby, they won't survive the real world type of thing.

(And how most 18-30 year old's still live with their parents, like my older brother, he didn't stay because he -had- to. They made him live rent free and he never had to pay for food or anything, so why not leech of them as long as you can while you build money from a job to spend on whatever you want instead? I have a feeling that's also the reason most people do as well. I remember a discussion of young adults crying about moving out, because they'd need to do their own laundry. Like Jesus...)

But I know I was told all the time by my parents, that "I hated my teen years? Adult life would be SO much WORSE!" (well my father did.) Maybe it's just because I was already grown up at that time and eager to leave before I was even legally allowed to. But yeah. They we're SO wrong.

Adult life is about a million times better than my childhood was. And I do NOT miss my childhood in the slightest.

And as for bitching about RP's to tie this in back to the topic at hand. "When life sort of forces itself upon you and you're already busy...

But you have to write anyway. Because you're not lazy...
Writing without sleep isn't fun. -.-

Music Appreciation Thread

@Goliah I wanted to give someone else a chance to rate this because I had a feeling I'd not like this...

That 'drop' after the title drop is super obnoxious. XD I actually like some of Mindless Self Indulgence. So I'm not even opposed to his 'kind' of music or voice. But it's pretty generic stuff, even for him. The video is kind of fun. 3/10 Sorry. >.<

But don't feel bad, everyone likes music that is questionable in quality. This song I kind of want someone to rate this low, so I can confirm that I am insane for liking it. Because the beginning is obnoxious and the entire goddamn song is the hook. But its so catchy thou. >.> (that or I can just give someone else an ear worm.)

@mdk I can't be the judge of this, but I will say it anyway. You're wasting your time.

@Penny An answer to my question would help. Unless you have none. :D

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

What is so bad about Breitbart that any of the major news agencies could not be made equally guilty of in mirror? It should come as no surprise, but I would trust Breitbart to be more accurate than CNN, MSNBC, BBC and the like.

Regardless, what is the "issue" with Breitbart?

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

@The Harbinger of Ferocity They do have their own biases, during Trump's election in particular, they were someone I actively avoided because I found them obnoxious. (though everyone discussing Trump seems to be obnoxious, but I digress.) They've have been wrong before.

I wouldn't imply they're more accurate than any other site. But that point is basically right on the money...every single site has been awful before, gotten something wrong, or misreported. There is no real differences. (and on that note...)

The only reason sites on the progressive/leftist side have gotten worse, is this delusional thinking and that they've been doubling down on, that is a continuously losing battle. Making some of the left question it and getting pushed into evil as a result. With the media's absolute laziness that showed up throughout, with sights literally copying other sites verbatim and adding nothing new. Gamergate was a time where this was so disturbingly blatant that it only proved the skepticism of media sites spinning a narrative further.

But the 'issue' to the leftist/progressive, it's "right". "Right-winger' being an insult and all that is evil when it's literally just means something with a 'right' leaning bias in anything. "Believing without researching" is the motto. You don't have to think about it. Everything should be free, violence only exist because there's not enough love. You don't need to use your brain, as long as someone in authority tells you what to do, where to live and what to eat. The other side is evil and wants you to be responsible for yourself. That takes effort. You know that kind of logic...

Labels and Magical Thinking. Like pandering without a hint of genuine desire to help, it's worked for hundreds of years. But now it's just pushed a little bit further. Because now instead of just "evil rich people", since most people weren't, it was nice to have that invisible boogeyman.

Now it's everyone on earth with different ideas or even questionings ideas, but mostly straight "cis" *cringes at even typing that* white males are to blame for everything wrong. The younger generation that has literally done nothing to influence the greater world or it's many problems is now feeling quite accused and reasonably pissed off.

But it's been clear long ago that self awareness has gone out of the window in politics, right or left. It's more blatant that people don't know what the hell they're talking about more than ever. Because the uneducated right think being an asshole is the only reason free speech exists, and being a victim (aka an attention whore) has never been easier for the left.




Sorry this turned into something more than just answering your question. ;D

>Linking to Breitbart

@Ace of Hearts

A broken clock is right twice a day?

Seriously, as long as you're intelligent and look into the sources, and go through different and multiple sources. You can get through the B.S pretty quickly. Dismissing a site that's politically different and ignoring the material inside. Is the same kind of ignorance that leads to people only watching CNN or Fox and then burning their kids harry potter books for promoting witchcraft. :/

Also not even kidding there's about fifty links of their title's point. IN THE THING...among other links...it's not a tumblr blog with a few paragraphs and no proof.

Edit: Not meant to be accusatory. :D

In the reality of my life, if you are promoting homophobia, misogyny or whatever, you are just gone, plain and simple.

@Penny

Preaching moral superiority and putting oneself on a pedestal is healthy and all well and good in all. Think about the children, save the trees and all those meaningless platitudes that mean I don't actually have to make an effort to do anything in life. I haven't even remotely been watching your conversation back and forth. Doesn't look like it's gone anywhere. But let me ask you this.

What exactly IS homophobia or misogynistic, and how does one "promote" it...

I mean nearly all hate crimes reported turn out to be nothing but scams.

breitbart.com/milo/2016/05/02/hate-cr…

But do you consider that saying that, without further qualification, since you seem fairly absolute about the consequences. The vagueness of those word that have become labels, mean absolutely nothing.



Isn't everything already homophobic and misogynistic?

Was it misogynistic to stand for gaming ethics, when all gamer were called sexist evil pigs? And promoting that was Microsoft, showing off a game that supported the evil's of gamergate?

I could go on forever, but where do you draw the line? You don't have to answer...the problem with that is. Everyone has their own line. Spending so much time having heart attacks over people and their thoughts, shows that you don't have too many problems in this world.

Well that is already true. At the end of this contract I'm going to make a move to a bluer state, where people spend less time beseeching God to smite the gays, liberals and Mexicans.

@Penny

There is no such thing, as a "blue-r" state. There just areas, usually in big bankrupt cities that have more progressives living there.

But sounds well thought out to me. Though again, your 'fear' and feeling hostility comes from nowhere. Because the only people committing crimes in mass numbers, are groups like Antifa. Most people don't give a shit about social politics. So unless that apathy is scaring you, I feel like I need some citations, before I can take this "fear and hostility" seriously.

And since you mention a "god" and smiting gays. Do you think it's Islamophobic when people don't want to have sharia law/courts in the U.S. Since their all over the U.K and Europe?

"I'm sorry." "It's not your fault."

Feels appropriate just to leave my meme here.
