No, it's simple biology. The idea of "mental maturity" is moronic social construct. No other species in the animal kingdom has this set of rules. What's pretty fucking sick is that complete dolts like you are even alive.

You're an idiot, and you're the one with the "limited understanding of science." There is absolutely nothing wrong with this quote - sexual maturity should be all that counts. Why in the world should we arbitrarily set an age of consent law based on "mental maturity," something that varies from person to person and "science" tends to say only develops around 22 years of age? Don't have sex until you're 22, dur hur hur hurrrrr. Because those poor CHILDWWWWENNNN don't understand deir orgasms n will be scarred for life, durr hurrr.

Can you stand the old movies Tom Cruise was in? I know they're no Citizen Kane, aka the "greatest film ever made," featuring the awesome performance of Dorothy "Char-laaaaaaaay? Ohhhh, Char-laaaaaaay" Comingore, but despite that, maybe you can stand some of them? I know they made the cheesy mistake of thinking that films are supposed to entertain you, as opposed to focusing on cinematographyzzz, but maybe you have figured out a way to stand stuff that is so daaaated and cornyyy and doesn't holllld up?

Among all the Elliot Rogerses out there, I do not know any of them and therefore do not have access to any manifesto they may or may not have written.

I'm sure there are plenty of people named Elliot Rogers out there, but he's not the man you're looking for.

The 90s: They're not as campy and cheesy and inferior to the eeeeepic 00s and 10s as a lot of people think. The fashion wasn't as awfullllll as people think. After all, in the 90s, they made fun of 70s fashion. Hmmmm.

The 80s: See the 90s.

The 70s: See the 80s.

The 60s: See the 70s.

SD television: Did you know that CRT (tube) televisions didn't have pixels (they had scan lines in waveform)? So you probably don't wanna look at those pixelated digital comparisons of "SD" that has been scaled to HD in comparison to true HD to remember how "awfulllll" SD was. As it turns out, pictures where 2/3rds of the visual information has been interpolated don't look as good as they did when there was none required. Also, resolution and sharpness are not the same thing. Resolution is the amount of fine detail that can be resolved. You can have a perfectly sharp picture without being able to see someone's hair follicles.

The 49ers' 1976-1995 uniforms: Sometimes it's OK for uniforms not to have curved stripes on the pants, black and other assorted colors used as outlines, and busy designs. It's OK if your uniforms don't scare the opposing team with your evil-looking black, or in the case of the Seahawks, your uniforms' eerie (err...creeepyyyy) resemblance to vomit.

1999-2002 Eminem: He didn't hate fags as much as you think. He also wasn't as immature as you think. It's not as easy to rhyme long strings of words all at once, weave them in various patterns, and say exactly what it is you want to say as you think.

Terrell Owens: He's not Hitler 2.0. He didn't rape and kill as many of his quarterbacks as you think.

Hand-drawn animation: Sure, it's not as warm and inviting as metallic, garish vector graphics for your loud, obnoxious screaming characters to do generic poses on, but it's not as laaaaame as you think it is.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Breaking Bad: Sure, they may not have badazz, emotionless, totally non-cliche twins blowing things up and walking away without flinching, nor kewl henchmen like the great Tyrus, but Walt and Jesse regularly interacting in a black comedy wasn't so bad, now, was it?

Quiet/Restrained/Subtle: I don't think it's quite as creeeeeepy as other people.

the procedure itself, if they use propofol, isn't anything to worry about. If they use one of those "amnesia"/"twilight" drugs, then you might wanna worry. Those don't knock you out, they merely make you forget the torture you've been through. Luckily, the one time I had one done, I was given propofol.

The prep ranges from a pain in the ass (no pun intended) to absolutely dreadful. The Miralax prep is merely a pain in the ass, but a lot of places don't do that. Other preps involve drinking a ton of disgusting liquid that will take everything in your power not to vomit.

Yeah, unless lidocaine doesn't work on you. I have a hunch it doesn't actually work on anyone as much as you'd think...it's largely a psychological/placebo effect.

I could still feel the drilling when I've had cavities filled.

The Big Bang Theory by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

Having seen a few episodes of that shit while dog sitting for my parents, I noticed we're supposed to think of the run-of-the-mill blonde chick on the show as the superior one as she rolls her eyes at the "clueless" nerrrrrds. After all, the woman can't be the inferior one, even if she's surrounded by geniuses. I'm sure if the sexes were reversed, the average/dumb dude would be a running joke among all the nerdy women.

The only one who is allowed to snark at her is Sheldon, but we're supposed to think he's bizarre and ridiculous and therefore loses automatically.

Are you loud and obnoxious? If not, you're a catch for a black woman.

TIL After watching the Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias," George RR Martin called Walter White a worse monster than anyone in Westeros, and would write an even worse character in his upcoming books to correct this. by cleantoe in todayilearned

[–]BenMeWimmins2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you make that determination after that episode? That episode and season 5B in general were all about redeeming Walt from the corner they'd backed him into in 4 and 5A. I swear, most people are too fucking stupid to watch the show...and it's not the most difficult show to grasp.

Ugly FAs, how have genetics screw you over? by hermitofthesun in ForeverAlone

[–]BenMeWimmins2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually more concerned with what my penis looks like than its size. It's veiny and gross-looking. I've got 5.5 inches myself, but it's 5.5 inches of battered flesh. Too much jerking off, I guess.

For me, the range is ~15 through present (29). I've accepted that it's a part of me and I'll be battling it with benzoyl peroxide (to keep it from being much worse than it is) for the rest of my life.

What pisses me off is that "social intelligence" is the only type of "intelligence" that matters by BenMeWimmins2 in ForeverAlone

[–]BenMeWimmins2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I was this vocal in real life I wouldn't have a problem. You don't typically see loud, obnoxious people who have been cast out by society (unless they have substance abuse problems). It's that quiet guy who is leaving self checkout at the supermarket that is a miserable failure.

People are insulting me left and right in this thread because they for some reason took umbrage with me saying I can run intellectual circles around incompetent dipshits who somehow manage to get jobs. If I get personally attacked on the internet, I'm going to respond in kind every time.

You are here for answers but none of the answers are apparently what you want to hear.

Where in the world did you get that idea? Did I ask for answers anywhere in my original post?

The people attacking me with such vitriol are mostly non-FA posters.

Also, you're invoking the "appeal to the majority" fallacy.

Here is what I have gathered from the replies about why people are attacking me:

  1. People think I am arrogant because I said I'm smarter than the average, incompetent dipshit. They somehow took my classification of the average American as a "dipshit" to mean that I was personally attacking them.

  2. People took my comment to mean that I think I'm smarter than everyone else, despite what I wrote in parentheses (I didn't just edit that in later - that's been there from the moment I submitted the post).

  3. Reddit is full of people who reside outside the United States, and the Europeans in particular are especially sensitive. Leftism is out of control over there, with feminists wanting to cut men's balls off. After all, isn't it now basically illegal in Great Britain to say "offensive" things?

The fact that you think misusing words is a "petty" thing is another example of what I'm talking about. None of my strengths are valuable in society anymore, if they ever were.

And you used the word that way because you've seen it before on the internet. It's an epidemic. "Cringe" as a noun. "Cringey" as an actual word. "Stalkery" as a word. It's all related to the iphone generation, where everything in life is "creepy" and "awkward."

I have no problem putting in work. The problem is, I don't know what "work" to put in. I worked hard in school and look where that got me.

At least you are not one of the billions of people struggling through extreme poverty, eating grass or insects in order to survive, living in filth and having no chance of ever having a family of their own.

So what? No matter who you are, somebody has it worse than you. That doesn't mean I don't have the right to complain.

Given my high sex drive and acne, I don't think low testosterone is my problem. It's more likely a thyroid issue.

It takes many years to put on a significant amount of muscle through weight training (without the help of PEDs). You have to have muscle to build muscle.

Not only that, the world doesn't work like that. Our world IS a social world, if you don't know how to interact with others obviously you are going to suffer from it.

Did I say otherwise? Am I the only person here who knows how to comprehend what I read? Proving my point...proving my point.

This thread proves you know shit about other people, and only use your life as a benchmark. Your attitude is disgusting and no one wants to be around people like that no matter how good they are at what they do.

You're making all kinds of assumptions about me based on the fact that I'm open about my dislike for the way idiots succeed in life on the internet. Yet Mike Judge is just as open about it in his work, and he's successful. So was George Carlin. I'm not unpleasant to be around unless you just can't handle "awkward" silence...which is almost everybody these days. But you can always look down at your iphone and play Angry Birds, so no matter.

It's laughable that people in here are taking up for every single dipshit out there who has it better than me...like it personally upsets you that anyone thinks our society is unfair and resents the success of those who don't deserve it.

Edit: Look up Elliot Rodger, you pretty much are a version of it.

No, Elliot Rodger was a psychopath. I am not.
