Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Nope, I'm pretty much the same, but dick is much larger IRL

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

Once again, you're overthinking it. If someone tells the world, "I like Kesha", for the sole reason of fitting in, then they're a phony.


But, how can we necessarily know that he or she is trying to fit in? We cannot know for certain exactly what a person is thinking or feeling, nor can we know the extenuating circumstances surrounding the statement. Coupled with the fact that text does not allow us to convey the nuances and expression of human speech to other people, it cannot be deemed for certain that this person is a phony. If we were to ask this person why he or she likes Kesha, and he or she responded with something to the effect of, "Because I'm fitting in," then we could assume that he or she is trying to fit in. However, this reasoning in itself is untrustworthy, as we cannot know if this response is the actual answer to the question we posed, in terms of accordance with that persons thoughts and feelings. So, because we cannot know for certain what a person thinks, then no one is a phony?

But for some people, you can tell that they're shifting their opinion to fit in. And don't tell me any different. Reading people isn't impossible.

You still don't have to shift your opinions to fit in, though.

Which I do not. My opinions are mine and as I think of them. Example: Reddit. Most of the flood hates Reddit, and i use it frequently.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

You being the sole exception, right?

I said "mostly" in the title for a reason. I say what's on my mind. A few others do, too.


I don't see how speaking your mind (what's everyone else doing then, I wonder?) excludes you from the parameters set in your original post.

No, most people speak the mind that they think will get them popularity. Or they put on an act to seem like better people than they are.

  • 12.22.2012 7:07 AM PDT

Agreed.

It bugs the hell out of me.

Regurgitating memes, spewing hatred about groups you know nothing about, acting autistic in general...yeah.

Agree?


Agreed.

If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

Doesn't apply to me, I have a reason for my opinions. It's pretty funny seeing some of you rage at the OP tho, just goes to show.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

I pretty much say whatever I'm feeling at the moment. I really don't care about the rest of the Flood's opinion of me. We're all just people wasting time on a game dev's off topic forum.

To look cool and be accepted by your peers.


Anyone who aims to be accepted by anyone on this forum is lifeless.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

My peers? On The Flood? Best joke 2012.
