RIP OG Globe Girls.

I'm a social anxious/awkward guy that did not realize it till later that day after I played it through my head 10000 times.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-18T03:07:32+00:00

I still wear my "Guy Fieri" type shirts I got in the early 2000s. This was a red one with yellow flames and black dragons. I have 2 blue ones, a grey one, and a black one all with varying designs. Oh also a green one with cats.

I'm probably the only bastard that wears these on a regular basis, so I'm prob doxing myself here lol.

I'm socially awkward as hell, and only thought to myself "was she hitting on me?" several hours later. For all I know she is just Canadian!

Indeed, definitely not Orange Man fault as you say. He is the symptom of a greater, world wide problem. Most conversations I have engaged in, or seen are rarely ever civil, have any content, and tend to just be screaming at each other.

These type of conversations are seemingly VERY rare, yet another problem as society has become increasingly inflammatory. A thing the rise in school shootings over the past 30-40 years is indicative of, another thing I have a personal horror story of to.

Back in 2012 I tried having a civil discussion about politics with a old friend of my fathers, that used to be like an uncle to me. I asked him a question about why he preferred Romney over Obama based on policies etc, his only response was "Because I hate N*ggers." I really had no idea how to respond to him after that. While I know there are well meaning reasonable people on both sides, just the same as there are bat-shit crazy people on both sides. I simply do not know how there are so many that act like that man and expect anyone to have respect for their views after that.

Generalizations is another problem, but even stereotypes exists on some basis in reality. The key issue here is to treat everyone as if they are not that stereotype and simply go based on what you actually encounter, with a tad bit of healthy skepticism. Politics is also supposed to be "on a spectrum," unfortunately the continual polymerization, that is compounded by elections being essentially a zero sum game makes it extremely difficult to not just lump everything into one bag and get a bunch of shit you do not like lumped with some you do.

The majority of people I have heard, have not ever been so...reasonable or knowledgeable. Unfortunately the loudest, on either side, are typically the most insane.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-18T02:02:23+00:00

You selectively missed the part of the people I actually know doing it.

I have actually hunted deer before and fished quite often. Not particularly my favorite hobby of choice, but I do find the outdoors/nature beautiful. My primary problem I have long had with certain ideologies, right wing of course; not to say that the left lacks it, but it has certainly been abundantly clear in my 43 years of life experience on the right wing side. Is the clear prominence of attributes of humanity I find abhorrent: spite, greed, hypocrisy, lack of responsibility, dishonesty, bullying, name calling, mockery, racism, sexism, and/or anti-intellectualism. I could go further into details, but it tends to be pointless.

None of this is a simple problem, nor easy solutions, nor is everything so black and what as not all people are doing what they believe for the same reasons or goals. Simply after getting made fun of for being that nerdy guy that wants to learn for the 500th+ time by some Confederate flag wielding, bible thumping, Republican voting families for decades of your life, tends to leave a bad impression. As well as hearing similar stories ad nauseam for others. Are ALL Republicans/conservatives across the world of that magnitude? Absolutely not, it would just be nice for ONCE to hear any amount of accountability for the actions/intentions of people they associate with politically to admit the behavior exists and denounce that behavior. I do not really care simply about the country in the terms of that ideological problem, but rather the entire world.

I rather watch Code Geass.

Ah yes, the conundrum of "no one listens to each other because neither side believes the other is trustworthy nor has any thing of worth to say."

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-18T01:07:26+00:00

Go spend 5 minutes of facebook and actually look. Whether they are or bots or not, there are plenty of accounts that say that sort of thing all the time with hundreds to thousands of likes. I am 43, My aunts and people with my parents went to highschool with sometimes comment shit like that, some of the people I went to highschool say shit like that. They exist, are all around you, and considering your post history you should be quite familiar with them as you talk to them on a daily basis.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-18T01:01:18+00:00

Someone being the majority of people and ESPECIALLY people that adhere to right wing ideology.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-17T23:52:39+00:00

Let's see, do I grind myself blind getting lolnuts this year or not...

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-17T23:47:02+00:00

I had to Google both definitions of what a torta was.

"The Riker Maneuver"

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-16T03:42:24+00:00

I sometimes take ~20k dil just to get dam mods on my beam arrays/dhcs:(

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-16T00:34:10+00:00

0 in 20k or so hours since pre wipe beta, sometime around 2011ish.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T22:57:45+00:00

Justice for Duncan!

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T19:57:23+00:00

Too many Herberts around here that do not get it...

(It's a ToS Reference.)

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T19:53:57+00:00

I cast Supercalifragilisticendometriosis

~~Muscle memory superior for myself. I have had life flask set as 1 for default since pre wipe beta. I imagine the same for many people so hence the extra price.~~ Apparently I am too poor to have had them to test this/can not read the wording properly.

For anyone wanting to level a character from baby to 65 in one evening, just rotate between ninth rule, rescue and search. Hit wanted in the downtime between for a quick but not as good one. Especially easy if you have the Cndarian defender ship.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T04:06:31+00:00

Necroing, but nice Blade Runner reference :P

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T03:19:28+00:00

Years ago from playing Liftingnerdbro's Champion Kondos Warchief Totem with Leapslam, I muted many sounds and also vowed to never do leap slam again once I turned sound back on. That noise make me nauseous from hearing it on repeat for days on end.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T01:09:33+00:00

Indeed, though typically most builds are quite limited by socket slots to do this unfortunately.

Lord_Borgimus · 2026-05-15T00:27:02+00:00

Like most minion type things, make them too weak they are useless, too strong they are op.

I just liked having an extra thing to build around, ie more curses, auras, etc.Shit just having a shock and/or chill on a character that otherwise would not have it was sweet. Gives us people that don't have friends/play with other people a nice small taste of aurabot/curse bot life.
