wtf

i had to doublecheck the etf2l post date to make sure it wasnt posted on april 1st

Thanks for that post, couldn't agree more. Basically the same thing I was ranting about in that campus employee vs dreadlocks topic. Shit always gets blown out of proportion, original context is lost, debate becomes polarized, and everyone gets thrown into either of 2 imaginary and undefined camps at both extremes of the spectrum. Regardless of how much the most vocal shouters disagree with eachother, they always seem to agree on one thing: fuck nuance.

Who does this? Not me at least. Who are "the people"? What you are doing is exactly what I criticized. You make up some imaginary arbitrarily defined group of people to which probably no individual would ascribe themselves to. I'm not using the "bad apples" argument, because that would imply a set and defined group of which said bad apples are a part of.

Social justice and feminism in the broadest sense aren't groups or movements. Both are phrases that describe ways of thinking. Both carry heavy historical weight. Feminism could arguably be seen as a movement (depending on where (time & place) you look). People might identify themselves as feminist, but that still doesn't tell you much about what they think. Social justice is more like an overarching concept that encompasses many ideas. I don't see persons explicitly identifying themselves as social justice 'people'.

"The minority" of what group? Again, you are implying a group of which none of the individuals you would ascribe to this group would agree they'd be part of.

Again, the "they".

By the way, this is not part of my main argument, but: Humor me, and find me an example of somebody who said exactly what you said in quotation marks. You'd still be at n=1, not enough to make a "they" statement, but it'd be a start.

This quote (and what you said above) displays a typical internet-schooled type way of thinking about certain issues. On the internet, it's very easy to end up in spaces that act like bubbles, where likeminded people fuel a feedback loop of confirmation of opinions. Anything that is irrelevant or opposes a certain consensus world view is thrown out, because there simply is no person present that can oppose, or provide perspective and nuance. It's basically groupthink confirmation bias. This causes ideas to snowball into becoming more radical and polarizing.

I'm not saying that your views on feminism are wrong. I'm saying that this typical polarized black and white view is a caricature of reality, and also doesn't help anybody, on any side of the spectrum, going forward. Even worse, excessive "us/them" thinking (in general) becomes very dangerous when taken to its logical conclusion.

them wretched sloped surfaces

Ok, so as the thread kinda derailed already: Can we stop using the term "social justice movement" or whatever, and just call idiots idiots? Let's not devalue something that should actually be important to everybody (the fair and just relation between the individual and society) by structural application of negative connotations. Same with feminism etc.

Also, can we stop confusing individuals with arbitrarily defined imaginary groups of people? It's not necessary to extrapolate every individual occurence to broad generalities.

Silly me, thinking that culture doesnt always work by means of appropriation. Obviously, ideas spontaneously spawn out of a vacuüm.

Nolan wasn't what made TDK a decent movie. The directing and editing in that movie is terrible. You can see that much is to blame on the editor and director when the worst put together scenes are the ones that also happen to deviate from the script: https://vimeo.com/28792404 . Movies on the whole are a group effort.

ITS A FUCKING TRIBUTE, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

The professional review I read said that the action scenes were uninspired and ill-choreographed? I hope that that guy was just being an idiot, because that was the only redeeming factor about Man of Steel (and basically any Zack Snyder movie).

GO GO LES FURIBARDS!

Oh yeah, after just having had a look at another hud (bwhud http://i.imgur.com/TvirObu.jpg), I suddenly got it.

The spacing on yours doesn't suggest the mirroring though. The space between the blue "BLU" bar and the first player on the scoreboard is way bigger than the space between the pink "RED" bar and the last player on the scorebord. The space under the pink "RED" bar and the K:D stats resembles the space between the blue bar and the players more, so this causes visual confusion.

Also what you could "steal" from bwhud is leaving a completely empty space between the bottom pink "RED" bar and the dark grey transparent square that displays the stats summary.

6s scoreboard (containing all 12 players) says "BLU". Personal stats summary says "RED".

Can you please stop with the "please show me where i said x" type of sentences? As if written text has no subtext. Who cares what you literally said. You can keep sprinkling the words "probably", "many", "a majority", "some" over your incoherent ramblings as much as you want. Congratulations on succeeding at making vague and ambivalent suggestive claims which you can then later deny any reading of. Normal people, however, can read between the lines. Don't insult people's intelligence by thinking they can't.

This thread was about the Brussels terrorist attacks, yet you made it about immigration. You associate one of the most horrendous and unthinkable type of events in society with a general phenomenon of movement of people between nations. Terrorism is about fear (phobia). Immigrants are the xenos. Do I need to spell out the rest?

You're being an asshole towards the people that were directly or indirectly victimized by this horrible attack by hijacking the topic to put forward your own agenda. YOU killed this thread. If you want to talk about immigration or whatever (most probably) unfounded opinion you have on other subjects, go make new threads. That's how a forum works. Otherwise, I might as well continue with: "What's the deal with chunky peanut butter? Seriously? Is this like a peanut butter by lazy peanut butter makers?"

It seems perfectly fitting to read all of your tftv posts sounding as if you were in that kind of emotional state
