Subject: 6 hard hitting "truths"

What do you guys think of this Cracked article? I felt like this deserved a thread because for once I honestly don't know what to think in response to it. On one hand I think the article has some truth to it and on the other I think this is just a stupid rant from a loser who thinks money or acting like a dick makes you a better person.

I mean really how does any of that apply to social situations? I don't treat my friends like I demand to be their friend and making friends/girlfriends etc has never been as simple as having 1 quality like a medical license.

Worst part is I saw that in a social anxiety disorder support forum, how is someone who has something like SA supposed to apply this to real life? I honestly think this type approach at getting others to benefit themselves only ends in disasters like school shootings.

PS: Sorry if this is a double post, Bungie is being glitchy with me.

Where is the hard hitting truth to people that they've become co-dependent on their online aliases?

As far as hard hitting goes, barely.

I'm so co-dependent on my online alias that I only have a real life alias.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

It's been such a long time since someone linked Cracked here.

What if I told you...

*scoots in closer*

I hate you

I kinda already knew these things... *sips milk* But they are good points though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw Baldwin's genius in that role. I did professional sales for nearly a decade. I know at its lie to "eat what you kill" o to speak, and this article is dead on.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who says otherwise is delusional.

That's a little unfair. Just because I disagree with some of his points means I am simply fighting change? My life in the past few weeks has been nothing but change and it will get far better so I'm not worrying.

He's very right about some things though, I personally liked the bit about revising your history.

Totally agree.

i don't know much about writing, but that was really well written.

Congratulations. You're literate!

Saw this yesterday, loved it. Wong has a great way of explaining things metaphorically.

A lot of people I know/heard of should read number 1 a few dozen times....

I keep getting 504 errors.

  • 12.18.2012 6:29 PM PDT

i already know all those but to a person who doesn't know any of them, they might be hard hitting.

  • 12.18.2012 6:30 PM PDT

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

I feel the issue here is that most of the flood isn't quite old enough to have been hit by the "real life" punch to the face yet, so none of this is as "hard hitting" as it could be though.

Explain what?

That your only value to society is your use to it? I thought that would be self evident. You can be the nicest person in the world, but if you have nothing to offer, you are just dead weight. As for the ABC, you need to always be on, always trying to use your skill to the next step. If not you are just fapping, instead of getting the job done.
