tldr. ---^


Also, dooooood. i like egg and cheese sammiches.

 

[Rina-chan]

lolwut

Cmon, girls have it rough too. We're expected to be skinny, cute, hot, intelligent, and amazing at video games.

Life's too short to waste on worrying about that stuff when there's a Melee tournament to practice for. ^_^

*goes to make Ean a sammich*

 

[FunkMaster]

oh that's just great. well, whatever.

hello MIRA.

and yes. there is toughness for both sides.

don't make the mistake of thinking only dudes have it tough.

i would think that it's quite a thing to try to be everything the

guy sterotype wants in a girl.

loosen up bro

if i had saw that video like six months ago i would probably have

not been amused. simply because i was a stiff. i took everything

far too seriously. i was too stiff. maybe you're actually trolling, but

the length of your response seems to say otherwise.

take it easy. stuff happens. so whatever. just chill.

heeheehee

the "Dandy" way of life looks very interesting right now, but it seems

it might take too much effort and falseness, so probbbaabbllly no

 

[Rina-chan]

So Arthur's advice seems pretty legit; I'ma try to take it.

Smash and Neon bowling Friday? There's too much sadness/negative vibes going around right now, and it would do everyone good to have some fun.

 

[Galvanotaxis]

Post edited for being kinda nasty. The truth is, people value certain things. Money, attractiveness, kindness, sexual reasons, but the world sucks, yo. Certain people get left behind and treated badly. Those people need to take their mistakes and learn from them. If being nice to a girl doesn't get her, then maybe you're trying the wrong tactic. It's upon you to decide whether what you are now is as valuable as getting the girl you want. If it's not, then change, because she's definitely not going to change for you. You need to take the steps. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

 

[DQP]

not funny, at least in my opinion. maybe it's because i've been mocked on the internet before and i know how it feels.

 

[Mattnumbers]

Also Kira you have no idea how true that really is. Guys get punished for doing the right thing constantly in our society, so they try to just be friends instead, resulting in either a lackluster relationship after years of friendship or nothing at all. That comic isn't saying girls don't have similar problems, but it sure is right that boys have them, and it's not just with popular girls either, as far as I can tell the popular ones actually do that LESS since they would never talk to a mediocre guy in the first place.

-_-


EDIT: Where the hell is Jason? I know he's nocturnal now or whatever but he's not on right now and he wasn't on last night.

EDIT2: That comic isn't quite as true as the vid you posted I find, as I know people who have actually managed to have good relationships after a long friendship.

EDIT3: I'm not mad at you

EDIT4: Neon Bowling sounds fun

 

[spacing_out]

I don't think it was meant to be the haha kinda funny. Maybe the funny in the FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- kinda way but I remember seeing that in a RAGE/BAWWW thread a long while back. God, that never gets old. But I'm not gonna get all srs over it. What time is Neon Bowling on Friday? My bus drops me off at Dimond Mall at around 7ish.

And like EVERYONE ignored my previous post. Like, the only reason why I'm asking for help on that is because the fake PRs that I trollposted a while back was somewhat of an honest opinion on where everyone's at and people didn't like that now what would happen if the top 4 on those PRs were actually seeded in the tournament? Cmon guys, I want this to be as legit as possible.

Edit: This is what it would look like.

Melee:
1. Derek
2. Arthur
3. Caleb
4. FakeMatt


Brawl:
1. Derek
2. Arthur
3. FakeMatt
4. Mario_128

 

[Mattnumbers]

I agree with Brad I guess.

*goes to make Ean a sammich*

just shut up kira... you posted that in a forum with mainly single guys, **** like that doesnt belong here, take it to AKG

if i insulted anyone in that post, good. people need to hear this....

@arthur, you need to shut it too. you're gonna die at age 23 anyways, ur opinion is the last persons im taking to heart.

@james or who i assume to be james, NOT the point of my post.

@jason, yes post is original, i was just ticked that someone would post that here of all places.

@Matt+, you seem to get it, apparently my post was for you...

@DQP, you kinda understood half of it, had u understand more, you wouldve posted more

@everyone else lurking this thread, **** off


lastly, **** neon bowling im just gonna smash with Matt S, ima bring some TVs so we can have like 4 of them. yall are welcome to join me

 

[FunkMaster]

@brad

well i dunno, second would be kinda random i think.

remember the triad.

unless things change much

For Melee

I > Maleb
Maleb > Savage i think maleb was beating savage last time, but i dunno
Savage > Me majorly i know that manskarr beat me last time but those were

only two matches and i refuse to believe that i've been overtaken by manskarr

it's some playstyle issue. it's really crazy and terrible.

As for brawl, Savage just straight up beats me. for now. but that's only him and lunaris.

there's no triad thingie, sadly. I've got to muck up.

oh and NEON BOWLING ON FRIDAY SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.

SICKKKKKK

well, whatever

lunaris isn't in the triad anyway.

he's like Kefka, while the triad is the warring triad dudes. I'm the goddess. Maleb is obviously the Fiend, and Savage

is the other one.

and i'm sure it takes one to know one, so i doubt anyone here but mira would really know what it's like to be a girl.

overall things are probably tough all around. unless you're like mememe guys have things to deal with as do girls.

such as body image. while it can't be doubted that's it's a problem for both sides, it's most likely more of an issue for

girls moreso then guys. both sides have their things

and geeze, whatever. if somebody doesn't want to be with you, they don't want to be with you. i don't see what the

big deal is about this stuff. just TAKE LIFE IN STRIDE, MAN.


oh and is galvanotaxis MAMES? SICK AND SOUR

 

[gingerbreadchar]

I'm afraid to touch the subject, but I must agree with both parties. Guys do have it tough. I've seen it happen so many times and it just makes me sad to see it. Girls have it bad too. We have to live up to this standard of the "skinny pretty girl." It's all really depressing, imo.

Also, depression is a huge ****ing *****. I suggest that if it's a problem that affects your daily life, seek counseling. It really helps. Trust me.

 

[Mattnumbers]

The point for me isn't that for some reason guys are supposed to be stupid, arrogant, and buff, it's that the way girls work they always end up going out with the people that don't really care for them in lieu of the people who really DO care for them.

The first thing is annoying too but it obviously exists on both sides. As for the other, you don't hear much talk about friend zones when it's a girl who likes a guy for a reason.

 

[Che_Lab]

che lab, you can come in first at a smash tournament with 5 year old kids, but that doesn't mean you are actually good at the game. good guilds have completed 25 h toc a month ago, our ****ty guild took 2-3 weeks to get to p3 anub consistently

our server sucks horribly, the only reason i dont leave is because of friends on the server

also jason made the right choice to leave the guild imo, wiping to the same **** for 12 hours a week is not fun

Thanks for the headsup on the whole frostwolf sucking thing. Daemonfang + Xanskarr have been wanting me to transfer forever. Although I don't think it matters much because I'll either transfer to Blackrock or stay on Tich.

About what I said with being in the top guild (ebayed raiders?) I am just jealous because I can't make raid times, so I have to pug everything which leads to 0 loot in ToGC10/ToC25. So when I hear someone is in a guild that actually progresses I get jealous and forget how much bull**** they have to put up with.

edit: why don't you leave the guild too then

alaska peeps: y so srs?

 

[spacing_out]

FRIENDZONE FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUu-

@Arthur
I heard about the triad thing. I just want a general idea/votes on who would be seeded in my tournament. Also, be a little more clear on your opinion. Maybe even follow the template I provided?

 

[Che_Lab]

@Arthur

IMO just make the seeds random. If you are complaining about being matched up against 2 "really good" people in a row; you need to step your game up anyways and really shouldn't be complaining at all because you wouldn't win the tournament regardless.

Is that the only reason people seed ****? Because its really annoying and pointless if so.

 

[gingerbreadchar]

As for the other, you don't hear much talk about friend zones when it's a girl who likes a guy for a reason.

Oh, it happens. The girls that are usually "one of the guys" gets friend zone'd for the more feminine, prettier ones. Or the sluts. :/

 

[DaemonFang]

and you know, thats not even funny, seriously, lets all mock the ****ing mediocre guy who cant compare with everyone else. the one guy who occasionally stands up for whats right, who doesnt lie, who drops his guard for just a few seconds. and guess what he gets? nothing, and will continue to do so cuz society (girls) just want whats portrayed in the movies, ****ing spray painted abs, and 50 poped collar shirts at once. **** them. ****ing ****, he probably doesnt even want a friendship, he wants an actual honest relationship, but being the good guy, he'll accept it.

and people are always wondering why teenagers are so emo all the time, because ****ing hey, being normal just isnt good enough, no you have to be smart, or no you have to be strong or no you have to be wealthy. the honest guy who gets C average, runs an 8 minute mile and drives a ****ing honda accord loses to prick who drives a souped up toyota tundra, who does wheelies and donuts in the parking lot. the worst part is, no one seems to do ANYTHING i mean wtf is honest guy doing wrong? if so speak up, if not then why is he being punished for it? **** them

im not saying that we should reward people for being normal, im saying we shouldnt reward people for being douchewads, and we definitely shouldnt punish those who just want to be normal. because no one has unlimited patience, and it gets to the point where you wonder if life is worth living. you seek help and you may think people dont understand. all those around you being perfectly happy, a you slowly slump, stumble, and fake your way through this massive steaming pile of **** known as life. when they smile, you smile back, you make them think its genuine, but what the **** do they care?

as time goes by you slowly slip out the back, and just become one of "those" guys. you get feel nothing, you taste nothing, you hear nothing but gibberish as you walk through the halls, just going through the motions. until one day, it just cant go on anymore. and it all implodes, adn you realize that this world isnt worth it.

this is for the people who try their best, but cant get there. this is for the people who just cant seem to get lucky, this is for the people who does so much and receives so very little, its time to give credit where credit's due because all they can do is sit and wait and continue to be patient. this is for the good guys. **** society, and **** all of you who laughed at that video

ive said my peice, im going out for a drive.

i still stand by everything i said in this post.

i think im gonna stop being friends with most of you for awhile. really, you know im right yet people still continue to argue for w/e the **** reason.

also, today was warmer, i wasnt shivering when i woke up. and i have sores from sleeping in a cramped place... FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU

 

[ender]

and right before that you posted some **** or gtfo bull****. hypocritical imo. If you stand by being the "noble guy" doing everything honorable then how can you say that?

because you weren't serious. its the internet, just the same with cool dude people are poking at society in general not specifically you because you are "the nice guy".

say what? people have a right to choose their friends.

EDIT: wow... mods really are watching out thread...

 

[FunkMaster]

the typical tough, popular dudes that "get all the girls"likely grew up in an environment that fostered

the development of such a character. they didn't ask to grow up where they did. even I could have ended

up as such a guy if I had grown up in an environment suited to that.

nobody gets to "choose" their living environment, the place that will form much of their world's view and

co. there is no "test" we take to "earn" our genes.

the TWO things that make us up -

genes and environment, are nothing we have control over.

these "alpha males" could have ended up as insecure, unpopular people had they grown up in such an

environment. but we have no choice.

so. lay off. we can't always know what motivation or reasoning there is behind someone's actions and

behaviors. what if I encounter someone, and they appear as a real "jerk?" something REALLY bad could

have just happened. you could have just caught this person at their worst. even when people seem to get

a kick out of putting people down, it's usually not as simple as them being a simple MEANIE. there's peer

pressure, ingrained habirs, and other things to consider.

there are really no "evil" people out there that are just mean for the devil of it. nobody is that simple.

and as for them "getting all the girls," WHO CARES. would you really want to be with someone that is

attracted to such a kind of person? let them be. if someone prefers alpha males, cool. that's there thing.

and I'm not an aplha male, so I'm not going to worry about someone being attracted to the kind of guy

that I'm not.

as far as I see it, the way to go is just be nice to everyone and try to get along.

whatever NYAAAAA

anyone down to smash today? I'm bored as the devil and need maylay practice besides.

 

[spacing_out]

Is that the only reason people seed ****? Because its really annoying and pointless if so.

It has nothing to do with that, sir.

It's more about spreading out the rly good people, keep them seperated for as long as possible and saving the best matches for last. I mean if two of the best people play each other in the first round, that leaves one to dominate winners bracket and one to dominate the losers bracket. If you seed them just right, you can keep the best people in the winners bracket for as long as possible so that the not-as-good people can duke it out amongst themselves and it'll be a better experience for them and could help them get better.

That's just my take on it though. I've been in alot of tournaments before and they usually turn out better seeded.

EDIT: The mods are probably watching this thread because of how fast it grew/is growing. It's like ZOMG SPAM ALERT

 

[FunkMaster]

so what is that anyway some sort of ONLINE tournament?

i thought you were just trying to rank people in accordance

to skill or something. cause i'm a fool.

------

and i doubt it. anytime anybody says anything about others being "evil" or something or other really puts everything

into a skeptical light.

anyway. If anyone really hates society so much they just like live in seclusion or something. no biggie.

but if you need people so much, then you're going to have to deal with the ups and downs.

as i said, you don't really know someone until you see them at their worst. one might be cool when everything is fine

and dandy, but when everything goes down and is not so great, how they are might be a reflection of their real self.

not that it matters. people are who they are.

 

[DaemonFang]

i dont know what the hell my genes look like, i dont care either. i operate on instinct. i grew up where the environment tried to kill you. and ive always acted on my 1st intuition and its never lead me wrong.

normally when im mad, i try and talk things out, if that doesnt work then its time to go in guns blazing. i skiped talking because... well, this subject concerns a few private subject that i dont think should be posted in a public forum, but kira should've known better.

 

[JTB]

edit: why don't you leave the guild too then

Because I'm an achievement ***** and the only way I'm going to get the hardcore pve achievements is with this guild

Gonna get Death's Demise this week hopefully

plus I can get in pugs on alts, even if I'm not completely geared enough, just because of my guilds reputation

 

[spacing_out]

so what is that anyway some sort of ONLINE tournament?

i thought you were just trying to rank people in accordance

to skill or something. cause i'm a fool.

No, my online tournament, spacing_out's Spacie Smackdown!, is this weekend. I'm looking for advice on seedings for my possible in-person tournament, a completely different event.

 

[FunkMaster]

who cares. i doubt many people know what their genes are like.

but they are there. it's simply a combination of genes+environment

that makes us who we are.

like these EVIL ALPHA MALES we all hate. if you had the parents of these mean people and grew up in

their place, you would BE those people, getting the girls and everything. same for everyone.

well, WHATEVER. I must be some kind of fool. here we have two really different ways

of thinking. who am I trying to convince.

later bruh. LIKE A BOSS

----------

OH. SICK. Like when and where? or is it so far off?

as for brawl, it might be best to put luna, savage, and I far away from each other. and perhaps madrian.

i dunno about maylay. a lot more people are good at melee up here then at brawl. but i know that luna, savage,

and maleb are good. there's also maniel, but who knows about him.

and SAVAGE like never goes tournaments. so whatever. it's too bad, really. he probably would have gotten second

at all these brawl tournaments, and he's quite good at maylay too.

 

[DaemonFang]

my way of thinking is that anything can be changed, we are in charge of our own actions and fate. ANYONE can change and be another person. genes and enviroment have nothing to do with anything. i suppose you wouldnt know, i wouldnt expect you to take my word for it, but i wasnt always the Daemonfang you all know. and i dont know if i wanna go back to the way i was i high school... w/e... im down to smash today

 

[FunkMaster]

well, whatever. there's nothing i can do to convince you otherwise. but i care so about this subject that

I'm willing to be a fool and talk this out.

genes and environment are EVERYTHING. there is NOTHING else that composes our self.

in the end, there is no such thing as "free will." it makes sense, doesn't it? we do what we want because

we want, or whatever. but it's really not true. when in doubt, go with science.

sure, everything, can be changed, but it's not as a result of some obscure "free will."

and sure, that's believable. I was quite different as well "back in the day" or whatever. A STIFFY. LOLZ.

now I'm just like-whatever man. AND I was QUITE a believer in free will, that we could do whatever we

want. and sure, i guess we kinda can, but it's not due to free will thing. most of the functions in our body

are automated. well, all, actually, but, what i mean is that the things that APPEAR voluntary like thought,

speech, and muscle movement are much fewer in numer then the OBVIOUSLY automatic.

free will is a sort of "self-fulfilling prophecy."

and it really doesn't matter whether you believe in free will or not. just keep doing what you're doing.

my lack of belief in free will doesn't cause me to become down and a nihilist. it's just something cool to

know.

the only thing it changes for me is a desire to be nice to EVERYONE is now here.

 

[Galvanotaxis]

Arthur is right. Whatever we are right now is a combination of our genes and how the hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of variables affect us. As I go through my day, a million chemical reactions producing emotions and drives go through my brain based on the things around me. Urges to punch that douchebag in the face, makeout with that hot chick across the room, take my pants off because they're getting itchy.

The reason I don't is because there are other chemicals producing other emotions and drives based on other variables that produce a stronger feeling that leans me toward another direction such as social obligations, the fact that that douchebag might beat the snot outta me, things that (At the time) present more value to me as far as dictating my actions.

You'd love to think that everyone is unique and original, but the fact is, we're not. We're VERY basically made up of the same stuff with different things affecting us. Also, Arthur is right, it doesn't mean you need to be a nihilist since it doesn't really affect how you're going to live your life. Knowing how these things work presents some semblance of structure to me, and I find it comforting that my actions aren't dictated by random swerving of some magic "Free will" mechanism not governed by the laws of physics.
Makes me happy to know that unless something goes wrong, I'm not going to experience some random urge to go kill myself or run naked through the parking lot.

tl;dr
Marthur's (See, I said it.) wrong, yo, but free will don't exist, get used to it.

 

[DaemonFang]

then arent you contradicting urself? cuz if we have no free will, that means its out of my control that i like a certain person. so hows it not free will that if someone likes another and they choose to chase after them? hows it not free will that ur talking to me? nothing is predetermined, and anything is possible. even science can disprove itself. ur wrong arthur, the fact that you CHOSE to live ur lifestyle is proof that ur own theory is wrong.

genes have nothing to do with anything. the fact that i put myself out there and try and succeed makes me better than that hobo lying in the ditch, its our actions that separate us.

 

[JTB]

alaska is so serious

why

 

[DaemonFang]

ill give you guys this that a lot of factors do influence our decisions in life. however when it all comes down to it, our final decisions are still ours to make. i chose to continue our debate. i chose to go to matts house to play smash, i chose to disconnect some of our friendship. CHOICES

@JTB because i need to know how some people really are.

Well, this depends as to whether you define free will as choosing your likes, dislikes, drives and desires or your ability to act on said likes, dislikes, drives and desires.
If you're advocating the former, then no, you don't have any control over whether or not you like a person, whether or not you chase after them, what foods you like, what video games you enjoy, these are all predetermined based on your experiences and how they affected your brain.

If you're advocating the latter, then I have no argument, you obviously, based on the fact that you still act at all proves that you have the power to act on these emotions and desires.

 

[DaemonFang]

<Matt S> there are many things in life you cannot control, and it's ignorant to assume you can sway yourself toward one ultimatum or the other by means of having free will or not; one of which, is that you cannot control what I, or anyone else involved in this conversation says. However, your free will is defined by that which i your own method of decision making - yes, many things influence your decision making, but please realize that they are only influences, not determinants, YOU are still ultimately responsible and in control of your decision making. For instance, if you had no method of decision making, you would not be able to control whether you uphold your end of this argument or not, in fact you would not have even decided (key word: decided, a consequence of the existence of free will) to log-on to this site and read this.

I will also demonstrate the existence of my free will by going now to eat pizza with Mike =D
Bye bye

[Rina-chan]

not funny, at least in my opinion. maybe it's because i've been mocked on the internet before and i know how it feels.

And? I've had my cosplay photos posted on 4chan numerous times, where I have been called fat/ugly/transvestite-looking/you name it. Anything you do on the internet gives someone who is bored enough a reason to mock you. There is no need to validate the opinion of people like that; unless you wish to be famous, what should it matter what the public thinks of you?

normally when im mad, i try and talk things out, if that doesnt work then its time to go in guns blazing. i skiped talking because... well, this subject concerns a few private subject that i dont think should be posted in a public forum, but kira should've known better.

I'm sorry for posting a random meme that I found again while browsing ED. Like I said, I shoulda just gone with Kanye West since I was looking at that too, but figured we'd all seen it by now.

To people in general: Your lives WILL NOT fall apart if you don't have a romantic partner. It's easy to think that way, but really, your friends fulfill many of the same needs. You will probably find that opportunity when you're not looking for it, and even then it will present you with a ~new~ set of problems to deal with. Personally, I'll be content if I end up living with a couple of close friends and eight cats someday. Your life has to be about something more important than another person, because what happens if that person isn't always there for you, or isn't everything you dreamed them to be?

Also, no johns about trying to do all the right things and having them fail---you guys know I spent 2+ years trying to be 'perfect' for someone who eventually just said "sorry, I just don't find myself attracted to you." That's life. It hurts, but it's not the other person's fault if they just don't feel that sort of connection when they're with you. There's really no rush for that sort of thing; just take life as it comes. Like I said, if you have an ultimate goal in life or something that makes you happy -besides- one specific person (or trying to find that one specific person) you can keep yourself from getting stuck in that ditch of "I'm single, my life sucks." If nothing else, think of it this way: You have the freedom to go and do whatever you want to do, without someone other than your parents telling you, "you're not allowed". You have the rest of your life to settle down, but for some reason, everyone thinks it needs to happen before they're out of college. If you do find the right person and get married, great! But it happens at a different time for everyone and if you try to force something that should happen naturally, it will probably not end good, and the other person may become resentful that you're unloading years' worth of hopes and expectations on them and expecting them to make you happy.

I speak not from experience but because I observe things, and people, a lot.

You're not arguing your position with facts, instead you (And matt) have repeatedly said "You're wrong you're wrong you're wrong" without supporting it. It's flimsy.
Anyway, we all come from different backgrounds and opinions, but the reason we are here is to break down those walls because we all enjoy a video game called smash bros. This debate does need to rest as neither position seems to be changing. I think I can make my way over to Matt's. Who's with me?

There's really no rush for that sort of thing; just take life as it comes. Like I said, if you have an ultimate goal in life or something that makes you happy -besides- one specific person (or trying to find that one specific person) you can keep yourself from getting stuck in that ditch of "I'm single, my life sucks." If nothing else, think of it this way: You have the freedom to go and do whatever you want to do, without someone other than your parents telling you, "you're not allowed". You have the rest of your life to settle down, but for some reason, everyone thinks it needs to happen before they're out of college. If you do find the right person and get married, great! But it happens at a different time for everyone and if you try to force something that should happen naturally, it will probably not end good, and the other person may become resentful that you're unloading years' worth of hopes and expectations on them and expecting them to make you happy.

I speak not from experience but because I observe things, and people, a lot.

thats why you dont try to entirely be that other person's person. you have to be urself and let them be themselves that way you guys dont need each other entirely to fullfill ur needs. thats why its called being WITH each other, meaning being along side each other, not nessasarily dependant.

also, it is however that persons fault for not giving you a chance in the 1st place. everyone deserves a chance

anyways, im gonna continue smashing and watch kenshin. **** is so cash.
