I might have hit a raccoon on my way home.
[classic swim] replied to Greeny's topic in General Discussion
Those things and possums freak me the fuck out, but it’s never good to hit a critter. -
I don’t know if I’d go that far. Months back I signed up for it as a “maybe” and then ultimately backed out. Just wasn’t sure about availability at the time or if I’d be good enough to compete. But I still wanted to be there even if my purpose was moot. I don’t regret that decision just out of the pressure, then Round Two happened and it was the most fun thing for days. And not to be a total ballwasher about it because lately it’s been bittersweet, and the overall mood’s pickled out; but this was a really special thing you guys made and put heart in for the bulk of the summer. It was an attempt to get the gang rounded together and I think it stood for something. It’ll be a nice memory years from now.

Doomerism: an apparently real social phenomenon now
[classic swim] replied to Icarus27k's topic in Current Events
I can’t speak for everyone else, but yeah. I don’t hold those type of beliefs or thoughts for pure fun. I loathe having them actually. I haven’t met anyone who enjoys running over kittens/beating the shit out of the elderly who just goes “hey haha we’re all gonna fucking die and it’s a simulation so let’s destroy everything even more!” Not how it works. My morality doesn’t go completely out the window just because there’s, oh I don’t know... more than 400 mass shootings in this year so far, I guess? And every name in the book I’ve been called by white supremacists? And the Trump presidency already mentioned as an ultimate highlight for this ‘brand new’ ideal? And all of 2016 that was MORE THAN enough to convince me I’m trapped in the apocalypse? It’s one thing if your life is peachy clean and you don’t like some snob telling you it’s pointless. Hey! I’m sure you’re delightful to your nieces and nephews! Your life DOES hold value! But this shit globe is burning. No one’s asking you to stop brushing your teeth and have a disregard for human life. Just roll up your windows and lock your doors. The point is to be vigilant and to maintain a lack of trust in others when there’s already little to no humanity left. Not saying you have to be cruel. -

Nobody talks about the unintended consequences of therapy
[classic swim] replied to Mix's topic in General Discussion
When you don’t have the time or money, and thus aren’t good enough to have someone with a clipboard tell you what a broken head you are; it can be tough. I’m glad the institution’s there to help those in pain and who are trying to lead a happier lifestyle. You’re right that therapy’s not the magical “Make-Me-Not-A-Fuckhead-Anymore Foundation.” It’s easier to say that it is though. That way you can avoid responsibility any time you decide to be scum of the Earth. Some guy’s probably wagging his finger that everyone including YOU can be fixed, and how it’s soooooooooooo easy to undergo therapy. But his name is Preston and he lives in a gated community and he likes eating avocado toast from Starbucks! -

Doomerism: an apparently real social phenomenon now
[classic swim] replied to Icarus27k's topic in Current Events
I don’t think I’ll be killed by a machine, the internet is not part of my real world problems. I’ve struggled keeping food on the table plus other things. But I haven’t had much faith in humanity in a very, very long time. I can laugh. I can have outlets, stay in shape, do what I need to do. But I’ll always have feelings of dread somewhere in the middle. All the time. I can’t remember the last day I had where I didn’t think to myself at least once how much of a fucking disgrace mankind is. If that makes me a lame nihilist then whatever. My grandpa was a firm believer that we’re all ants waiting to be stepped on. Hereditary bullshit I guess. -

One of the most outrageous things they ever did in their heyday. At first I was too sad to even find a throwaway adult theater joke funny after this news. Then I remembered Gottfried being a cheeky motherfucker about the incident. ”To think at age 14, I was already Al Capone.” RIP to them both. Comedy’s losing all its corners. -
rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen

RDR1 - Xbox Seems like yesterday when I considered this Game of the Decade. Can’t say I blame anyone for being spoiled by the sequel. Chuparosa’s my favorite part of the map incase you couldn’t tell.
