the best way to handle these situations is to throw away or delete anything you have of hers on day 1, that way you don't go through this several month long process of being sad

or just find another chick really fast, that works too

Yeah that would have been nice, but no job means no money and no way to find a new girl.

So I turned to alcoholism instead.

Silly B8ers.

Well I'm too lazy to upload it. But if someone else wants to, I guess I'm drunk enough to send it to you now so you can upload it for me or whatever.

But it's just a blurry, low quality video of me getting a BJ.

Because on the internet disliking Nintendo or speaking out against a popular user for acting badly is a far bigger crime than kindness in personal interaction can ever make up for. People tend to notice and care about pointless, petty stuff instead of what really matters.

It's the exact opposite of how stuff works in "real life" and it makes me wonder sometimes, but I've gotten used to it by now.

you only grow to dislike vlado when you start finding yourself in disagreement with him

there are people here who can disagree with you and do it politely or in a way that generates interesting discussion (transience, icon, zfs)

there are people who can be argumentative but at least don't make it ugly and it can still be interesting and worthwhile (SEP, SmartMuffin)

and then there are people like Vlado and joyrock, where arguments are snarky, filled with condescension, and you wonder "why am I stuck in another argument with this person again"

you could start a conversation of "I think the Wii U is going to be better than PS4" with each of those groups of people and the argument would go way differently depending on who it is.

I am who I am. Do you have a problem with arrogant people? Why? What bad does it do to you? What does it matter to you how they choose to live their lives?

I do not see why one should dislike arrogance unless it personally affects one negatively.

As for me, some of my favourite people come off as arrogant, Jose Mourinho being the first example I can think of.


how does "it's annoying and i feel bad for you if you are actually like that in real life" sound to you.

As for me, some of my favourite people come off as arrogant, Jose Mourinho, Hristo Stoichkov and Diego Maradona being the first examples I can think of. You know what else they have in common? Amazing guys in personal interaction - for instance, Mourinho has never had a bad relationship with a SINGLE one of his players. They all love him. The same could be said of very few other managers who have achieved success on such scale.

Also SEP can be downright brutal and often times misses the mark. Would never want to argue with SEP he's kind of a dick.

I have argued with Vlado a lot but let's just call a spade a spade: A lot of board 8 is stupid. (Note: Law of averages here) Stupid people don't like being called stupid. Even when me and Vlado get into arguments I cannot once recall him taking shots at me. Why? Because he respects me. If he doesn't respect you, then he is going to be mocking of you. It isn't the worst thing a person can do and he isn't even the one who does it the most annoyingly, but it is kind of his thing and since the powers that be have judged Vlado "safe" to make fun of without popular reprisal he gets everyone's shots.

Now mind you I think Vlado deserves a few knocks on the head at times, same as everyone, but it gets pretty epic how everyone piles on him when he doesn't really do much that's wrong, just different.

I've also always thought Vlado was pretty rational.

My least favorite person to argue with on this board is TheRock. I like the guy, I do. And I respect him for how strongly he holds onto whatever he believes. But that's why it's a pointless waste of time to argue with him because he will never change his point of view, ever. No matter how long you argue with him, and no matter what you say.

I don't see why certainty that one console is better than another or something like that should be taken personally by anyone. It's not condescension. In a different context, I could speak to the same person completely friendly and the fact I perceived them as a blind Nintendo fan would not matter one bit if they wanted computer help or something.

While it's the exact opposite with my haters - they don't like something I say in some thread and suddenly they hate me and occasionally speak badly of me in completely unrelated threads. It makes no sense.

Being confident in your thoughts and abilities helps in "real life," believe it or not. Not 100% of the time, but it's certainly a plus.

Why wouldn't you want to try to be a paragon of human existence? Why not live your life, in such a way, that you believe you have made great choices. That your way of thinking is smart, rational, and reasoned? What is wrong with thinking you turned out great?

Trying to be a great person is great, but actually acting that way as if you are isn't so much. I highly doubt Vlado has actually achieved such a state. I don't care much for false modesty either, but no one likes that guy who seems to need people looking up to him in order to live.

Being confident and acting it is one thing, but so is admitting when you're wrong. I can safely say in the 9 or so years I've been on these boards, I have never seen Vlado do anything of the sort.

I like what this topic has turned into.

And we all need people to an extent. We like being looked up to or needed, or just god damn appreciated. Sure there are those people who think they just need themselves, but I think even that is just a lie to cover up the fact that they really do like the company of others.

There are people who legit do just want to be alone.

But more often than not, people need other people to survive. I've learned this the hard way.

Again, I never said he wasn't great. I'm not really sure where you are getting the idea that I am trying to judge him. But I think I am safe in assuming that he is not the 100% always right guy that he wants everyone to believe he is. In any case, what is wrong with thinking that Vlado is annoying? I'm not sure why people are taking issue with this stance, as I have clearly stated my reasons for thinking so.

there are no "powers" that have judged vlado safe to make fun of, everyone just feels however they feel about him independently as far as I can tell

I think a good comparison is foolmo - he can be a dick too. but people still like him. because there's a difference between how an argument with foolmo and an argument with vlado or joyrock goes - the latter two just make you feel like you're pounding your head against a wall sometimes.

I have argued with Vlado a lot but let's just call a spade a spade: A lot of board 8 is stupid. (Note: Law of averages here) Stupid people don't like being called stupid. Even when me and Vlado get into arguments I cannot once recall him taking shots at me. Why? Because he respects me. If he doesn't respect you, then he is going to be mocking of you.

and

True, but if I am called stupid I will mostly go "O_o" because it is something I don't generally get. Or I'll say "Hello to you too, newbie."

I think it's a particularly unique B8 trait where we go "most of the board is stupid but I'm not." I suspect pretty much no one on this board is an idiot. we've had a couple people come pretty close but they don't post here anymore. that means that since we all have functional brains, people are going to prefer discussing things with pleasant people. if the likely outcome of you discussing is an "xfd that's what you actually believe" why bother? I think that's the same reason that people ultimately decided to just stop arguing with Ulti during that time period where he was trolling everyone. what possible value comes from that?

I highly doubt Vlado has actually achieved such a state.

That is something you said. If that is not you saying he isn't great and you believe 'highly doubt' leaves enough technical room for error for you to claim that you weren't saying it then let's get you a law degree because you are trying to lawyer me.

Oh and sure, no one is right 100% of the time. But a confident person, who is right let's say 95% of the time, or 90%, will learn to trust themselves with decisions and stances. Him not seeing a situation like you do does not make him wrong. He could be, but he doesn't have to be nor does he have to concede he is wrong just because he has an unpopular opinion.

Oh, I think it is wrong because I don't care much for your opinions and I think they are stupid and horribly biased based off the fact that Vlado is a bit of an easy punching bag. I confess, I am a hypocrite, I started this conversation because I saw you diss Vlado and my reaction was "Really? Did he just say that?" and so here we are. I confess, I am a work in progress.

Liquid Wind let's be friends.

What's your favorite color?


I also want to be friends with you and Liquid Wind.

If you'll allow a broken down depressed alcoholic into your circle, that is.

there are no "powers" that have judged vlado safe to make fun of, everyone just feels however they feel about him independently as far as I can tell

I think a good comparison is foolmo - he can be a dick too. but people still like him. because there's a difference between how an argument with foolmo and an argument with vlado or joyrock goes - the latter two just make you feel like you're pounding your head against a wall sometimes.

I have argued with Vlado a lot but let's just call a spade a spade: A lot of board 8 is stupid. (Note: Law of averages here) Stupid people don't like being called stupid. Even when me and Vlado get into arguments I cannot once recall him taking shots at me. Why? Because he respects me. If he doesn't respect you, then he is going to be mocking of you. It isn't the worst thing a person can do and he isn't even the one who does it the most annoyingly, but it is kind of his thing and since the powers that be have judged Vlado "safe" to make fun of without popular reprisal he gets everyone's shots.

and

True, but if I am called stupid I will mostly go "O_o" because it is something I don't generally get. Or I'll say "Hello to you too, newbie."

I think it's a particularly unique B8 trait where we go "most of the board is stupid but I'm not." I suspect pretty much no one on this board is an idiot. we've had a couple people come pretty close but they don't post here anymore. that means that since we all have functional brains, people are going to prefer discussing things with pleasant people. if the likely outcome of you discussing is an "xfd that's what you actually believe" why bother? I think that's the same reason that people ultimately decided to just stop arguing with Ulti during that time period where he was trolling everyone. what possible value comes from that?


Well yes but to be fair I think I have a pretty good record of beating the pants off the rest of the board in- okay off track.

When I say stupid I don't mean..... what the world would classify as stupid. But law of averages state that stupid people are everywhere and to think otherwise is just being overly optimistic. But a lot of people are just stupid in arguments or stupid in how they treat others or are just clever trolls sent from mars to annoy me.

Also I know there aren't any powers that be, but like any big community there is a social structure where there are people who set trends. Or do you deny that? Curious!

I don't have a favorite color, color usage is all about context for me, it's like asking someone what their favorite note is in my mind. a good simple example would be red and white, I like this combination but only in a very biased ratio, like 80 red : 20 white or the inverse of that, if it's more like 50:50 I won't like it as much but it also depends on the shapes/patterns in use...

that comment was in reference to the "paragon of existence," you know.

and I would like to point out that it wasn't me coming out of nowhere to diss him. his claim that people hate him simply because he hates nintendo and that he makes fun of popular users prompted me to say something.

also how are my opinions related to me apparently bashing vlado because he's a punching bag.

and what opinions are you talking about, because i mostly stick to the fighting game topic and my own dynasty warriors topics.

Yeah I see what you are saying. But I could also ask if you had to pick any color that pleased you the most or bothered you the least as it was on a blank sheet of paper with nothing but that color? Burnt orange, for me. But I like walls forest green, but I love blues as a background on my desktop.

That can't be true because I am very much aware of your existence even though I don't visit either of those topics. You are a well-known B8 user.

I think B8 is quite different, at least now

at one point this was a community fueled by e-pop, and there was some dumb stuff that came out of that

these days, I don't think so. we're like a bunch of fragments. there's lots of discussion topics. fighting game, anime, mass effect, etc. there's a lot of people I just don't interact with much anymore. if people still take issue with vlado, I doubt it's because of any social trends and is more likely a result of personal experience they've had with him.
