#90199 THE DEPRESSION THREAD

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 07:48 AM in Everything Else

Just dropped in to talk about how impressed I am by all of this depression.

(You can thank me for the superb puns in various -zepams and -zolams)

#90484 Forum Titles

Posted by flcl_grim on 18 April 2015 - 07:23 PM in Help and Error Reporting

I keep accidentally reading the title of this as "Forum Titties"

What is wrong with my head

I was wondering who borrowed my eyes.

Has Red versus Blue changed from a strictly one-off comedy series to a serial show?




#90278 Terry Crews is the absolute best

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 09:43 PM in Everything Else

If the KKK suddenly stopped being about White Supremacy and started being about racial equality, they would change their name.

When Feminism changed from a movement focused on Female-only "equality" (while actually being a middle-class based revolt for the sake of special interest in almost every case; see when the ERA was killed multiple times because of a radical feminist group's rider bill).

 

You do not get to continue to use the social impetus of a movement (id est hijack the movement) in order to further advertise it to everyone.  "He for She" is an advertisement campaign, and marketing has been heavily involved in modern popular Identity Politics for ages.  In order to transcend class and obtain true equality, you have to discard the classes entirely and see through to the truly oppressive classifications, and, most importantly, the logical errors and other bias-based reasons that people have been fed (or fed themselves) in order to continue implementing the same oppressive lies.

Everyone can see that not everyone fits into a social construction of Masculinity or Femininity when you give them the right light, and when you do that, people start to challenge the very words we use to describe those interactions, like Feminism.  You do not get to rename "Feminism."  Make a new movement based on true equality--not on keeping the same gendered classifications and biases for everyone while simultaneously proclaiming that everyone is a special snowflake.

Yes, the people must organize, but organization is not automatically bulletproof, and the methods supported by the ideology propped up by Feminism is absolutely dilletante.  No need to perpetuate these baseless institutions, and there is no need to organize to teach people reason--when you give someone a taste of it that puts their sour ideologies to shame, they will want more.

In order to claim false equivalence, you have to prove that one concept is significantly removed from the other.  You might be trying to pose my argument as a strawman, but it is merely one facet of the argument I presented--you cannot boil it down to "White Supremacy isn't equivalent to Feminism," because my argument has more substance than that.

However, I will still challenge your viewpoint.  White Supremacy and Feminism operate off of the same Identity Politics, attempting to achieve a certain goal by focusing on certain aspects of the "opposite" side.  Instead of advocating for equality on all bases, they separate themselves and intentionally restrict their thinking to work for their special interests.




#90408 Terry Crews is the absolute best

You cannot derail a discussion by simply ignoring the antithesis to your argument.  It is not about what people call themselves, because then we would have to consider Stalinists to be Communists (an extremely incorrect assumption).  The Feminist movement often--especially in modern times--wants to preserve the idea that being Male and Female involves a specific Essentialism, like racists, that furthers the sexist misunderstanding of Humanity.  Since many Feminists are post-modern thinkers, I would assume they would understand the importance of the movement's name on how people conceptualize it.

In order to change thoughts, you change words.  Communism stays pure because Leninists and Stalinists were never practicing Communism, and focused on having the state; others attempted to corrupt the very concept by enormous marketing campaigns against Communism, but the very name of it (and its source) separates from those bastardizations.  On the other hand, Feminism focuses on females, always focused on females, and, to this day, wants to drive a divide between males and females in order to attempt "equality."  Separate is never, has never, and will never be equal, and until feminists shrug off their sexist ways, they will not be able to truly transcend and understand the oppression they are helping to enforce.

Does that sacrifice the comedic edge?




#90277 WEATHER!

Those blasted towel-tipped blokes have fended off our tea industry for the last time!




#90288 WEATHER!

I'm a grown ass man

 

I always heard about your kind when I was growing up; what is it like for only your ass to grow up?  Is balance a daily challenge?




#90210 WEATHER!

On-topic.

Around 62, but who goes outside?




#82640 Feminist Hacker Barbie is Hysterical

Pretty hilarious that Gizmodo was saying that anything remotely "feminist" was anything but raw, pure female empowerment.




#90198 I need a quest

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 07:47 AM in Everything Else

You give them a quest to find the person with the ! over their head, whom then tells them that they have to go on the forum to collect their reward.

 

The reward is a firm :bill:'ing.




#90207 I need a quest

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 08:02 AM in Everything Else

Thread derailed.  Where the fuck is the bill emoticon?




#90415 So I drew this thing for the Forum :P

Posted by flcl_grim on 17 April 2015 - 05:20 PM in Nerd Art

I would recommend that you change the logo stylization; instead of having the F come on the same plane as the D, you could do it like so.

 

Just a suggestion.




#90519 Smash Bros character voting poll

Posted by flcl_grim on 19 April 2015 - 03:43 PM in Everything Else

No, just the Wii U. It's a poor system in all aspects.

Have you played on the Wii U?  I think you might be suffering from RedditVision™.




#90617 Smash Bros character voting poll

Posted by flcl_grim on 23 April 2015 - 01:05 AM in Everything Else

When a company who has been known for inflating their purchase rates overestimates their sales, it is a failure?  Sounds like they made plenty of sales to me, sonny, and the Wii U was always offered at a rather low price, so it is foolish for you to assume that they were dumping their entirety into it.

 

Nintendo is wiping these tears that you keep talking about with enormous wads of cash, and denying that is simply foolish.




#90412 Smash Bros character voting poll

Posted by flcl_grim on 17 April 2015 - 04:55 PM in Everything Else

Tell us what you will pay for, so that you can pay us for it!  Why would we ask this before release to include them, instead of cloning characters?

They should have reworked every clone in the game to include a unique moveset.

The most successful handhelds in history are certainly not "a dead system."  The Advertising Bias strikes again.




#90201 Started exercising with my dog

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 07:53 AM in Everything Else

Dogs and humans are on similar ground (har har) when it comes to long-distance running.  Better start moving the goalposts in your favor before he starts barking up the wrong tree.




#90411 Travelling experiences

Posted by flcl_grim on 17 April 2015 - 04:52 PM in Everything Else

The other day, I left this room on a quest.  Up the stairs, I found this strange room with a menagerie of utilities stored within, but nothing could prepare me for the second revelation; the entire enclosure was dedicated to food.

It was a delectable trip; I encourage everyone to drop the keyboard immediately and pursue a similar voyage.




#90477 Travelling experiences

Posted by flcl_grim on 18 April 2015 - 07:10 PM in Everything Else

Affray has the right idea in mind; many people are of the firm delusion that traveling is about distance from your current location.  Better phrased, traveling is about the mindset--you do not have to get in a car, hop on a plane, smuggle yourself onto a boat, or anything more than step outside and look around as if you were looking for the first time to find something interesting.  Go explore a mountain, a riverbed, a wooded area, or anywhere that sparks your interest.  You will always be surprised at what you will find--I have discovered completely tucked away marshes in the middle of a city, breathtaking vantage points tens of feet from the edge of a suburb, and so much more that people outright ignore because "there's nothing to do around here" mentalities poison their drive to experience.




#90413 This might fit here best, I dunno.

Posted by flcl_grim on 17 April 2015 - 05:06 PM in DIY

Funny how all of that (sans the suits, unless you count .obj files) can fit in this.




#90214 I painted

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 08:21 AM in Everything Else

Your daughter is going to wonder why she gets so nostalgic playing Saints Row in a few years.




#90276 Because cats.

Posted by flcl_grim on 14 April 2015 - 09:29 PM in Everything Else

Worded strangely, you mean.  No need to teach the second-speaker improper grammar right off the boat!
