Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Obtain degrees in German language and foreign marketing expertise.

BAM! Hire me Ford, I'll sell your shit in Germany until BMW outbids you for my loyalty.

@Dinh AaronMk

That's the sort of thing you gonna needa know people for. Like, type of work you'll lose out to if someone's nephew competes for the job with little more than a general knowledge of bratwurst

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

The wiki said Cuba was facing an uncertain future or some shit because of the new president. Since I retconned that president, we can always rectonned the Cuban thing.

@Byrd Man

There was a lot of weird anomalies sitting around before we moved to the RGP, and it confused even us. That's why we simplified it in the lore summaries on the first page of OOC. Those lore summaries are the new cannon, so if the lore summary says one thing and the wiki says another, the summary takes precedence.

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>
In all honesty, I think its quite short-sighted to do any non-STEM subject in university AND expect a good job afterwards.

@Chapatrap

I've heard a lot of STEM people complain right alongside English degrees. I think the rule really is "No generalized degrees." So getting a Math degree is not much different from getting a History degree. What you want is a degree that directly corresponds with a career program you want to get into. At least that's true for the US, my be different elsewhere.

Robots are gonna take all of our jobs anyway.

@Pepperm1nts

Gonna be helluva day when the Robots take your job.

THIS SHIT

WHY

@Ebonsquire

That seems like a pretty French thing to do.

To be fair though, those dead folk are already dead; most disrespectful thing anybody ever did to them was start that stupid war in the first place. But... who thinks to have a bunch of people jog up for no reason and mill around? Why is that an event?

Guess the next user's kink.

Not anymore, it is June-o now

pictures of yourself where somebody drew boobs and facial hair on you?

What do they do with a John Doe's valuables?

finders keepers. the guy who found the corpse gets to keep the stuff.

Do you rush posts?

Used to. Now RP I am in is so slow I can take time to do things right. Outlining, second drafts, and outside editing. The whole deal.

@Vilageidiotx I mean it's not complicated, can agree there...

Let's be frank. I mean I know exactly where I stand, I've been on enough forums long enough. To know when people are clearly standing up for one another. It's not a hard concept to grasp. And if it wasn't entirely for political reasons (like it always is, because ya know tolerance an shit.) Was the sole reason I got so much bullshit. It may be more tolerable. Even though I -should- be used to it, and I basically am. It doesn't make it any less -temporarily- annoying. Especially when its me trying to be nice, and for a reward I get a metaphorical knife in my back. <.<

Frankly my only problem is continuing to go in this thread. (But I already know I'm not the bad guy. -.-) And since I'm not a teenager anymore (thank god.) I will never have anyone convince me otherwise, nor will I care what others think. I frankly don't even mind having enemies, if my crime is for being honest. Because I'm long past the point of trying to do the impossible and please everyone with my actions. Oh, and I know that last post came off slightly melodramatic. So, non-personal matter, and to change the subject.

My back and head are killing me again. <.<

@SleepingSilence

Now now now, that's not what is happening at all and it is a little unfair to paint everyone in this thread as out to get you. There is no conspiracy here. You probably will bug people if you start suggesting we're all villains arranged against you and not, as it actually is, just folk fucking off on the internet. You need to make an effort at empathy and look at things through our eyes in a world where we aren't evil because, really, nobody in this forum is evil. At least try to read your posts from a perspective where we are just regular people watching a couple of guys arguing.

So let's recap this part thread from my perspective. Dynamo fucks with you using some exaggerated political banter. Others don't say anything because A: I don't know if anybody but you or him pay attention to that Steven Molenewds guy to even talk about it and B: Like, what I am I supposed to do, argue with everyone's political perspective rather than those explicitly opposite of mine? Okay, you respond with a joke about the FCC channels being your favorite and that seemed like the best answer for the situation and all is good. Things grind on and there is some nuclear discussion, then Dynamo fucks with you again. Then you go back to that original Dynamo quote and reply, which I thought was sort of funny because I have you pegged as a dude who is addicted to arguing even if you won't admit it. Then Dynamo gets visceral because that's how he does, then you get visceral, then everyone else and myself is like 'Woah'. And then you get mad at us and say we are being unfair and claim harassment and persecution. And now I guess I am a bad person or something

Nobody hates you for your political perspective. Everyone makes mistakes, man.

@Vilageidiotx But, unlike real life. You have all the context, right in front of you...

It's an internet version life of this, expect the one to blame is apparently both, because the other retaliated. Because one strong 'biting back' (so to speak) is the same as continuous baiting and personal attacks.

And quite frankly it looks like people are taking sides when they're liking only one persons comments and seemingly lecturing one more than the other. Despite how obviously lopsided it is. :/

And yeah, here's the catch 22. Trolls are very, very stupid individuals, I've dealt with enough of them, hundreds of them. I know how they act and think. I've also had so many bullies fuck with my life. So the 'ignore it and they will go away' thing doesn't work in real life. So I'm sorry, but it doesn't work online either. But my point is. They will 'always' think they won. If you respond, doesn't matter what you say, or if your angry or not, you'll get "lul mad bra" and they win because you "got so madz" But flip side, "ignore them" they'll know your a pushover, and continue to do it, knowing, no one, not even you. Will stand up against personal harassment and never stop. And they won again. (and frankly if you allow anyone to treat you like crap. If you didn't defend yourself, You honestly -did- let them win.)

Both defending, and ignoring. Come off as them winning to them. And frankly one, calling someone a fucking idiot, which is frankly cathartic. So what if it makes people that circle jerk him, whine at me for defending myself. So what exactly do I lose? I won't make friends with people already likely to be the bullies friend? Yeah, big loss. Or, ignore the bullying and? I gain literally nothing, even less in fact in this scenario and its not like that will make me -look- any better to people that hate me for fuck all reasons anyway.

@SleepingSilence

See, I don't see it as being that complicated. For me, if you just make stupid jokes and don't get involved, anyone fucking with you will get bored. If they consider that winning or something then whatever, that's their business, I don't care what they feel about the situation. And for me if I were to get hot under the collar too I'd feel silly. Now that is all personality of course, but I think it might give you an idea where other people's answers are coming from. It's not a matter of taking sides, it's just this entire discussion seems more complex then it needs to be.

Roast the person above you.

@Chaotic Chao

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Vilageidiotx Yes, but that was sarcasm and it also wasn't a personal attack...direct or otherwise. >.> (Apples and Oranges.)

Yes, when people ignoring someone being rude and offensive, THEN go "oh, this is annoying me" "man these two. amma right?" after I'm the one that does the same, solely to defend myself after constant abuse. You can't say it's just "the internet." Bullying, trolling whatever you want to call it, is still harassment...

But no it doesn't, that's the problem. Like I said, guy stabs 16 times. Then guy stabs back. You saying. "It takes two to fight." Implies, that both members are equal to blame, and ignoring context and common sense. Their both equally guilty. And that is not correct.

@SleepingSilence

It's not a stabbing though, it's a matter of one dude fucking with you in one thread. Like, you defend yourself in a stabbing because that's a matter of life and death so nobody will say anything, but if one guy is talking shit on the street and then another runs up and turns it into arguing, people gonna be like "Look at those two angry dudes arguing."

And I don't say this as someone taking sides. I just think you'd be happier personally if you didn't let people fucking with you on the internet get under your skin.
