English is a bastardization of many other languages so that is why many people have a lot of issues.

Is this because English is quite young compared to other Romance and Germanic languages? Perhaps in a few more centuries it'll have more of its own identity.

Kind of like the US being a hodge podge of different cultures from Europe, Mexico, etc.

Everytime this discussion happens, Asian peeps will say that Spanish and German are really hard, while the European ones say that Japanese and Mandarin are tough.

Needless to say that its all relative. Character-based languages are a nightmare for people that only speak Latin languages.

Ive never related to stereotypical man stuff either. I grew up in a rural area where everyone, including my dad and older brother, were all about hunting, sports, and meat and potatoes. Ive never held a gun or gone hunting, never played a sport with others after high school (unless working out and running counts?) and am a vegetarian.

Ive never thought about this in this context, but now that you mention it, I dont really like making friends with other guys most of the time.

Despite that I still consider myself to be masculine and have never identified as anything but a heterosexual man. Maybe its because my idea of a man has changed over the years once I realized that not all guys are like the ones I grew up with. My definition of masculinity and maleness has broadened.

Gender and sexuality are spectrums. No one is completely male or female, hetero or homo.

I'm 31 and trust me it's going to keep getting lower. Don't worry though, that doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable or that you lose any punch in performance. It's nice not thinking about girls and sex constantly. You're not as edgy/anxious/frisky during the times you don't get sex which is really nice. Makes you feel like a bold confident mature man secure in himself even when alone.

Yeah, sounds kind of nice honestly. Now I find it really odd when guys talk about sex and girls all the time.

1 on ignore, 0 blocked. The 1 guy is someone from a game board who entered a discussion on lore and started calling people heretics, demons, etc. I told him that a topic on video game lore shouldn't get personal, but of course that didn't stop him. I was just going to leave it but he started PMing me and sending me "resources" to learn and repent for my sins. After the 3rd message I ignored him.

Colorahdo posted... the zoomers are right, millenial memes are stupid

"look at me adulting! I got my very own doggo!"

We are a generation that didn't want to grow up

More like we were the first generation that had memes to document the struggle of becoming adults and still having no idea what the fuck we're doing. Everyone goes through that but older people didn't have memes to broadcast it to the entire developed world. Just like zoomers aren't the first generation to eat dangerous chemicals as kids, but they were the first that could make memes about it.

Everyone does dumb shit on the internet and as soon as we accept that and laugh at ourselves, the less risk of us becoming the boomers that we hate.

So what age are zoomers and millennials? I assume a millennial is anyone who was an old enough kid to have memories of the calendar ticking over into the new millennium. Are zoomers the kids of them or what?

Given how big the observable universe is - hell, even just the Milky Way - I think it's pretty likely that other intelligent life exists. The catch is that it would take such a long time to communicate with them, and we'd still be missing out on those that are thousands and thousands of light years away. Unless they have figured out superluminal travel, in which case they're probably so advanced that we don't want to meet them.

Problem is the mass majority of us do not know how to help even if we want to.

I can't pretend that I would know what to do if a friend or loved one told me they were going to commit suicide. Luckily there are options besides "do nothing" or, god forbid, "ridicule them".

If someone is hurting enough that they do something drastic, why should they be disparaged for that? We have no idea what their stories are. Doesn't matter if you think an attempt wasn't "serious" or not. Some people, for whatever reason, don't know any other way to let others know that they need help.

Maybe we should start listening to cries for help.

I hope so

I loved TLC and 2

I remember when I played Witcher 3 for the first time I was shocked how much it reminded me of the first two Fable games. If they were to make a fourth game in the same vein I think people would eat that shit up.

I know I would.

Big if. I loved Fable 1. I wouldve been alright if 2 was the quality benchmark for the rest of the series, but 3 was pretty disappointing.

Which animals eat their own children? Usually that's a last measure for starvation.

Regardless, I never said that other animals aren't brutal. Just that they don't delude and bullshit themselves thinking they exist for some higher purpose.

Lots of mammals (hamsters and cats come to mind) will eat their own newborn children if they feel unsafe. Doesn't even matter if they actually are unsafe. But anyway, in my view humans aren't any more brutal than other animals. We just have the smarts to be more dangerous. Give a group of lions enough time and they will surely destroy each other. Difference is that we can build things to improve our lives.

compared to......all the other animals? i think it's pretty clear that we're the winners in this scenario.

This. Not that life on Earth has a "goal", but we're the only animals that we know of in all the cosmos that have any awareness of the greater universe and its rules. Not sure what would constitute a success if not that.

Play script doesn't mean Shakespeare. It means that it's a script written to be performed on a stage in a theatre, not read like a novel.

But not surprising that you hadn't heard of it. People only talked about it briefly after release to highlight how terrible it is.

He hated Harry just because he looked like and was the son of his childhood bully, so not likely. Snape was kind of a vindictive asshole!

Plus Snape only cared when Lily's life was threatened by Voldemort. He couldn't care less about James and the infant Harry. He was one of the Good Guys, but wasn't a good guy.

Jabodie posted...

What was he? Hufflepuff?

Pretty sure he was Gryffindor, but mostly because he asked the hat to put him there. He was a total coward but wanted to be in the same house as James and the others so he could tag along with them and be protected from bullies. The hat does strongly take your preference into account, as Harry literally had a piece of Slytherin's heir inside him, but asked to be put elsewhere.

People make their own meaning. Some find meaning in their work or hobbies, others in their family and loved ones. Some people find meaning in religion and thats okay too. But I personally know that believing in a God and basing my life on that will not have meaning for me, in fact it will deprive my life of meaning.

I did last year. Shed been a close friend for about 3 years at the time and I was crazy about her since the day I met her. When we were finally both single I made a move. I kept it simple and said something like lets go on a date to X place, but she gave me the usual our friendship is too important speech. We do have a great friendship, but I wanted something more. It took me a few months to get over it, but now we are back to being good friends. Nevertheless shes still my crush. Shit sucks but at least I know for sure where we stand.

I've always assumed Mercury must be really useless because, whenever space travel is brought up, people would rather talk about bodies that are much more difficult to reach like Mars, Castillo and Titan.

Yeah, I think Mercury and Venus are far too hot and deadly for us to want to send spacecrafts to them right now. Most probes that we could build would be destroyed.

Dude if one police officer does something bad we should correlate that to the 100s of thousands of other law enforcement officials, and if thousands of "protesters" are stealing and committing crimes that should bear no reflection on anyone involved.

Youre exactly right. The double standard exists.
