#135 Fat shaming in Off Topic
waffleb

You're missing the point. You can argue the comparison all you want, but the point is simple: you're judging someone for their looks and lifestyle while simultaneously damning anyone who does the same to you. It's ignorant.

waffleb The problem with your comparison is the fact that it's obvious that you think there is always something inherently wrong with being trans. Yet, when you look at it objectively, there really isn't a problem with it, much like being gay, etc.

Yes, I do think there is something inherently wrong with being so far out of your own mind that you want to deceive yourself and the world into thinking you're the opposite gender. Do I like that it occurs? No. Does it affect my daily life? No. Do I understand that you have a mental issue that makes you feel very strongly that you should be the opposite gender? Sure. Does that make you the opposite gender? No more than my desire to be a king makes me one. But my opinion on that doesn't matter.

It's your opinion and your life. You have the freedom to think as you please regarding obese people. Call them fatties or don't; neither will bother me. I'm just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.

#123 Fat shaming in Off Topic
wafflebYou can't really compare being LGBT with obesity. If it really upsets people to be made fun of when they're obese, they can lose weight. If you're gay or whatever, there is shit all you can do about people making fun of you, thus there is a cause to fight for.

I am merely pointing out that judging and making fun of someone for their looks (obesity) is no different than judging them for their sexual preference. You don't know why someone is obese. Maybe it's their fault entirely. Maybe their genetics make it very tough to lose weight, but very easy to gain weight. Maybe they're a closet homosexual or they have gender dysphoria and their brain's method of managing the stress and depression is to eat. Maybe they are physically unable to do the work required to lose that weight.

The idea that "they can just lose weight if they don't like being made fun of" is complete idiocy. Sure, they could probably work at it and eventually get to a point where they aren't fat. Maybe they're already working on it. Or, perhaps it's just not that simple. When you are overweight, you typically have less energy and physical tasks are more difficult. You, as a person who has never been obese, have probably never experienced the complications of being obese. Do you just blindly think that all obese people simply don't care about their weight and, as a result, are always obese? I would suggest the contrary. Most of them are well-aware of their situation and would gladly change it if it were simple. Unfortunately, losing that weight is much harder than you currently imagine. Maybe they can't stand being seen in public because people always make fun of them. Maybe they have respiratory or heart problems that prevent them from being able to exercise the amount necessary to lose the weight. There are a million factors that you aren't considering.

You say I can't compare LGBT to obesity, but I will do just that. In your untrained eyes, obesity is caused by laziness and an unwillingness to exercise. "They can just lose the weight if they don't like being made fun of," you say. This is like saying that if you have gender dysphoria, you can just "realize you were born a man and live with it instead of taking hormones and going through other transitions to become more like a woman" to prevent people from treating you differently for being transgendered. Maybe instead of spiraling into suicidal depression, GD sufferers should just suck it up and live the life they were dealt. Sure, it's possible. But is it easy? Considering you're transitioning to look more like a female, I'll assume not.

The bottom line is: despite your assumptions, you don't know why they are the way they are, and yet you judge and make fun of them--all while proclaiming that anyone who judges you for your sexuality is in the wrong. Are you really contesting the hypocrisy in that?

#68 Fat shaming in Off Topic

This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever seen, but it's a typical mentality these days. You are admittedly transsexual. You fight for the LGBT community to have equality and for people to treat you as equal rather than treating you differently because you were born male.

...but you turn around and judge other people for superficial reasons? Really?

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Most of the people who vehemently fight for equality in the LGBT community are hypocrites. They want everyone to think of them and treat them as equal, but those who don't treat them as equal are chastised for it. The recurring mentality is essentially, "You don't treat me like an equal? You're a piece of crap!"

Gender dysmorphia, gay, bi, fat, skinny, ugly, pale, dark, blah blah blah. Here's an idea: don't judge people. And for damn sure--don't judge people when you're part of a group complaining about being judged.

What a fucking joke.

#8 should i keep same sens on all classes? in TF2 General Discussion

As silly as it sounds, it just depends on how your brain works. I am a twitch aimer. I use around 1.6-1.8 inches per 360 on all classes. It doesn't matter whether I use my normal sensitivity or not. I can raise my sensitivity to 15 inches per 360 and I will still flick aim. Sure, the flicks will be less drastic, but they'll still be there. If I really focused for days and days on not twitch-aiming, I'm sure I could do it, but my brain's natural tendency is to flick shots.

There were/are a lot of quake players who used/use different sensitivities for different weapons with good results. It's just something you'll get used to using after a while. If you want to use a higher sensitivity for projectile classes, do it. Your brain and body are capable of learning more than one sensitivity. Changing your aim style is what will be difficult--if that's your goal.

PacifistYou should check the sites again. The prices are off, they aren't the same as the ones listed on amazon.

I don't understand. I pulled those prices as I was writing the post. How are they inaccurate?

Is your g400 the regular one or the g400s?

Both. The "G400" mice are all slightly used, but look and function like new. The only difference is that they have much sturdier cables that are reinforced to prevent the typical breakage. One "G400s", which is new.

The AM is not worn out to the best of my knowledge. There are a few visible scratches on the bottom which occur because the Zowie mouse feet are so small that the mouse body is less than 1mm off the mousing surface. It functions flawlessly.

#16 Anyone have a mouse to sell? in Hardware

I have several mice I'd be willing to sell relatively cheaply. I have a few G400 mice in which I have replaced the stock cable with a higher-quality cable that will not be susceptible to the typical G400 shenanigans. I have replaced the mouse feet with the puretrak HD feet as well. These mice all look and perform like new.

If you want to give that a try, I think $25 should cover it. $30 shipped in the lower 48.

#220 Quick-Fix in 6s? in TF2 General Discussion

I think removing the medic's overheal would render the weapon obsolete instantly because two hits of absolutely -anything- will do 150 damage. Quick fix could be run to mid for team buffs but you'd never ever ever see anyone push beyond mid with it unless it was a full wipe where the mid winner was still 6-up.

I like Platinum's idea would make it better for defense, but I just feel the weapon is unbalanced when it comes to offense/defense. It has great stats for big fights, ie mid or holding last, but it's virtually useless for pushing last against turtling teams. It either needs to be combined with other things (like the stupidly overpowered concherer) to have a successful last push or your team has to be able to ball up and get picks on the last push, but you'd have to be sure to go quickly enough that the enemy team can't get QF charge (32 seconds).

I really enjoyed using it, but I unfortunately agree that it needs serious tweaking before it should be allowed in ESEA 6v6. It's been used enough now to determine that one team running QF to mid will almost always win mid if the other team runs anything else. I do think that if it's allowed, teams will start to develop ways to counter it on mids while running other mediguns (which I assume will either mean they get hyper aggressive early and focus-fire picks, or they'll get super passive and let picks come to them) but I do think its negatives outweigh its positives at this time.

#5 Mouse Wheel Issues in Hardware

It depends on the model of the mouse. Most Logitech mice that have the free wheel also have a switch to make it click like a typical wheel. I have never seen one that doesn't have this switch. Sometimes there's a dedicated button for it and sometimes pressing downward on the wheel (mouse3) toggles it. Hopefully yours has a dedicated toggle switch, because if it's built into the wheel, you will never have a middle click.

#61 I'm literally upset right now. in Off Topic
RawrSpoonIrregardless most definitely IS a word, albeit an improper one that sounds awful and shouldn't be used. It's a synonym for regardless, irregardless of its roots. All you really have to do if someone brings it up is correct them politely, otherwise you're just coming off as an arrogant pedant.

Personally, I'm fine with people using words that sound wrong or improper as long as I understand what they mean from the context.

I understand what you are saying, but I will disagree with you. The idea that 'irregardless' is synonymous with 'regardless' is the problem. Someone randomly decided they wanted those two words to be synonymous well after the definition of the prefix 'ir' was established, which is wrong and dumb.

Saying 'irregardless' is synonymous with 'regardless' is like saying 'irreversible' is synonymous with 'reversible' or 'irregular' is synonymous with 'regular'.

No. Just no.

Weird thread, sting.

Stand up, let your ass cheeks mash together--smearing the poo. Take 1 square of TP, poke your finger through the middle, reach back, use your finger to scoop the poo up, then use the square of TP to scrape the poo off your finger. Just like a real man does it. Saves you $300 a year on toilet paper too. 1000 shits per roll.
