That scene in Clear and Present Danger when Harrison Ford visits him in the hospital basically describes this whole board.
surrounded by such a disastrous set of members of the opposite sex, that fucking pixels appear as a preferable alternative.
So the modern dating scene?
Why are you looking at the comment section of a hentai website?
Are the booba not entertaining enough for you?
I legitimately found the control scheme on the Gamecube for 1/2 far superior
Are you retarded?
You think having to stop moving to aim up and down is superior?
I still can't believe there are people out there that even like Prime 3
I will be under your bed tonight
Lots of things about the mustache seem obvious now.
I hate the idea that we should ostracize family members due to their opinions.
That being said, that strategy hasn't really been working out for us.
Some people really are too far gone, too useful, too idiotic.
If anyone reads the Gulag Archipelago and comes out the other end thinking communism is a good thing, they are beyond saving.
I went to Full Sail for animation.
Aw shit, a fellow grad. I went for film.
This board has a nasty habit of conflating autism with some kind of superpower. It is not some magic x ray vision that lets you see through propaganda. It just means that propaganda that works on normies has less of an effect, while propaganda that wouldn't work on normies has more of an effect.
Autism is about as useful as having a high IQ when it comes to social manipulation. If you aren't aware you are being manipulated, then it doesn't matter if you can do differential equations in your head, you are still as gullible as the rest.
I do not have enough meat to distract the gator.
I have seen the movie, and it isn't amazing. The problem is that Miami Vice being set in the 80s is kind of a core component of the series, and when you take that out it loses a lot of what made it special.
I think it could have been a better movie if it wasn't trying to be Miami Vice. If Mann had done something like what he did with Collateral it could have been better.
One of my favorite shows is Miami Vice. I have the box set on blu ray, as well as the soundtrack on cd.
Miami Vice isn't just a product of the 1980s, it is the 1980s. It's the era of optimism, of possibility. That show has my dream car, my dream era, and a bangin soundtrack.
Just about everything I love in life has either been from the 80s or had its roots in that period. From Blade Runner, to Ghost in the Shell, to Megadeth, to Rammstein, to Stratovarius, to the Testarossa, to Synthwave, to 80s action movies.
Watching that show is like meeting the man I could have become if I had reached my full potential. Even as I enjoy it, it shatters my heart to know I will never be able to have that kind of future. My parents grew up in that era, and they basically achieved the American Dream. I however, am looking at a bleak cyberpunk dystopia (without any of the cool neon aesthetic I was promised) at best, and possibly a massive civil war/revolution/ethnic conflict that will probably result in millions dead and my country torn asunder.
It is hard to watch my dreams and my future slip further and further away from my grasp as time goes on. I will likely never have a family, or own a house, or get my dream car, etc.
All I can do is endure.
The West Wing is idolized by so many on the left, but not one of them realize how so few of them could live up to the fictional Bartlett administration ethical standards as they were shown on TV.
I didn't watch it during its heyday, but later during the end of the Obama administration/beginning of the Trump administration.
It made me physically ill to watch. It was like being waterboarded with propaganda about how great and wonderful the democrats are and how the republicans are foolish and misguided. Not a single person in that show behaves like an actual politician; more like a middle school child's idea of a senator/president/etc.
Not to mention having to look at Rob Lowe's face all the time. Blech.
Also the famous “Republicans pounce”
It's "GOP slams" now.
It really depends on who you are around.
If you are around retards, it feels like being in the movie Idiocracy. They are functionally incapable of engaging you beyond simple conversation.
If you are around midwits, it feels like an episode of the Outer Limits (which is better than the Twilight Zone, fight me). They think of themselves as knowledgeable, intelligent even. They are blissfully ignorant of the ways in which they are manipulated on a day to day basis, believing themselves to be informed even as they are misdirected and propagandized.
If you are around other intelligent people, you don't stand out. Your experience will differ depending on how much of a sociopath they are.
Being intelligent isn't some mystical superpower. It just means you are a monkey with a bigger brain. You are still fallible to manipulation. It is incredibly important to be aware of your limitations. You are just as capable of making retarded mistakes at 150 IQ as someone with 80 IQ. The only difference is that you might learn not to make them again.
I would say that the biggest problem with being smart is that it is very difficult to make genuine connections with people, because the smarter you are, the harder it is to find someone who can really engage with you.
Ya he's already proved unable to do much if he even wants to. 2016-2020.
I'd rather take him not being able to do much over Harris being able to do anything.
Anyone who works in personnel planning knows women work way less than men.
Anyone who works anything harder than sitting at a desk knows this.
On the one hand the women in the below examples are grotesquely obese
uhhhh I hate to break it to you, but that ain't even remotely close.
Boomers don't have to care anymore because they're all retired.
I tried explaining to my parents that a civil war/societal collapse is coming soon and they think I'm hysterical. They think the fact that I want a firearm to defend myself with, means that I must be actively seeking out conflict.
They are retired. They lived their best years during the greatest period of prosperity in human history. I am living my prime years in the decline of an empire, waiting for a violent collapse to happen, watching the American Dream slip further and further away into the darkness.
It is infuriating that even though they see liberals as dangerous idealogues, they have absolutely no clue just how bloodthirsty and zealous they are. They see them as just dumb young people in a phase like hippies. They don't see them for the Bolsheviks that came before.
Like a lot of ideologies, it only works when everyone is on board.
As soon as one person, from within or out, doesn't want to play then its completely invalid and retarded.
The reason why communism (and libertarianism) doesn't work. The second that somebody realizes that hard work doesn't result in proportional reward, or somebody strong realizes they can form a gang and take what they want, those systems are toast, and it just goes back to might is right (which is how the world really works).
You're wishing them large penises
Thank you Careless_Ejaculator for your expertise.
It's harder to make something smaller that does the same thing, and therefore it costs more to make. Shocking.
blablabla "women are the primary victims of war" yaddayaddayadda
It is truly astounding the level of mental gymnastics women will do to portray themselves as victims. An anti-Y-chromosome asteroid could wipe out 95% of men on earth and women would still find some way to make it all about them. "Emotional intelligence" my ass.
the guy probably dodged a bullet as a result
I mean he clearly didn't or he would still have a leg.
I would go further and say that unions for any field that don't involve you being on site, with high chance of serious injury/death, and intense physical labor are retarded. You don't need a fucking union to make lattes. You should have one if you work in a steel forge or a construction site.
This isn't to say that unions are some perfect thing. They are absolutely a double edged sword. But having been on the receiving end of abusive management more than once, I do appreciate being in one at the end of the day.
