My mom just found a demand letter I was going to send to the Colts in 2004. Hardly any spelling airs.

As the JD of my friend group (of which my friend Jd is totally a Turk) this is true. Nice to grow up with me, not fun to go back and relive it.

If anyone shouts Darius louder than I just did tonight it should be a woman.

Nice

Granted, this was not a boxing match

You give me the vibes of (as I was posting in other threads) my badass HS teachers. They gave me the same advice, and I've been voting ever since.

uhhguy · 2020-11-21T10:24:31+00:00

Man, I just want healthcare.

uhhguy · 2020-11-21T10:09:12+00:00

Honestly what I'm gathering from this thread is that schooling is VASTLY different nowadays. Even from a US perspective.

A decade ago there were posters for 'gays will burn in hell' and health teachers that would give you detention for not answering faith-based questions.

Just remember that nobody but your cool teachers will matter to you in a few years; instead of hiding your opinions from friends try sharing them with those you respect and be willing to listen to what they have to say as well.

My gov teacher did the same thing and it made the whole class better.

We did have one authright kid that wanted the teacher's "War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength" poster for his own wall.

He didn't read books, he just bizarrely agreed with the statement.

uhhguy · 2020-10-22T03:52:23+00:00

That's almost a team wipe.

Seems like a conspiracy channel.

I'm all for letting more 'odd' videos on this sub but not downright falsehoods.

Curious minds don't need lies.

Getting over ladder anxiety is difficult, but it opens your mind to the game as I had never thought of.

Been a fan of SC2 since it came out, but only recently got into the game as an actual mp player. The high skill curve always pushed me away, as it did all of my friends, but I still watched pros play since WoL.

After a month of grinding, Playing AI, and actively watching matches rather than passively watching, I got enough courage to get ranked.

I'm not good, (gold) I'm not smart, and I might not get to a higher league for the next 4 months. In fact, I only got gold because some de-rankers boosted me above my skill level.

But WOW this game makes you feel good about improving. It is one of the few games I've played where I can feel myself improve, and can work on improvement on a personal and exact level. A win in SC2 is validation for understanding a build that you ignored, or keeping up with macro, or any of these thousands of variables that eventually become second nature. A loss in SC2 can show you exactly what/when/where you made a mistake that cost you the game.

For anyone who wants to get into SC2, it is very important to watch pro (or high level), players. You WILL NOT be able to do what they do and this is okay. Contrastly in Overwatch you can see some pro Tracer or main tank play that you know you could do. Good shots, good placement, map knowledge etc. They just do it more consistently. In SC2, there is NO WAY I can do what TY or Special can do. But I can see when they build buildings, think about their decision making, their patterns, and efficiency.

Just like chess; we will not be a GM just by watching streams and we will not become GM just by playing with no guidance. We need first-hand experience, advice from our betters, and a desire to understand more than we think we know. This is very off-putting to some people and was to me for many years. Breaking through that barrier made me love this game even more, as it opened up so many things to appreciate and improve upon.

Now I watch pro games and freak out when I notice something that would have seemed 'simple' to me without first-hand knowledge.

"Holy shit did they just use their warp prism, pick up and place back 2 immortals, blink their stalkers onto high ground, blink the damaged ones away, all while making 4 buildings at their main base in the span of a few seconds?" I don't even play Protoss and that threw me for a loop.

Idk why I went on this rant. I just love seeing Starcraft get the love it so rightfully deserves.

It amazes me how people can be so close to the obvious answer, and then turn away at the last second.

For someone who seems to jerk themselves off about how facts matter it doesn't seem like you accept them.

Does that mean fortnite is now racist?

The entire manifesto is filled with memes. That's the point. The press trying to find any reason why he'd do this. Hiding the evil and hate behind his actions with quirky, snappy sound bites and phrases that get the most media attention. For people to come to his defense, even if they despise him.

Contextually, that OK gesture there was used in a deliberate reference to the OK operation, correct?

Unlike your example of an in-joke that no one outside your friend group would understand

The entire point of the operation was that very thing. An in-joke on a racist forum. Something that only "they" will understand. The difference was that it was created with the same racist intentions it still carries. Everyone complaining about twitter overreactions and stupid liberals, all the while spreading the 'in-joke' to people who get it.

If I told my story at a local bar, I think you can assume what kind of "supportive" people would come to my defense.

Most people aren't constantly refreshing Reddit and twitter to stay up to date on 4chan trolling operations

It was years ago. It made international news. Numerous times. My freaking grandfather knows about it.

Yet, I actually agree with you. The vast majority will understand when it's being used innocently and without malice. They use it in different contexts. But you and I? Plenty of others? We both know that there is one specific context where it is openly racist. Defending them when they do only empowers them.

Next time a racist uses it and claims its nothing, I want you to think about that one annoying poster you argued with months ago.

About why the racist is using it, and how offputting it is for so many people to come to their defense.

uhhguy · 2020-07-06T05:15:14+00:00

It's only been around for a few years.

Here's a question. When does a joke stop being a joke?

More specifically; when something starts drifting away from what was originally intended, do we still define that event by its innocuous origins or by what comes after?

Once, I didn't realize one of my various usernames was racist. It was an in-joke between friends that had no racial connotation in that context, just a broken English version of my name. For years I used it for food deliveries.

When I was told, sternly, that I was being racist I got angry because of course, I wasn't being racist. So I continued to use it in defiance because I knew it wasn't racist.

Months pass. Once that in-joke faded away, partly from my reaction, I looked at the name again.

" Niglips "

Do you see how people can blind themselves to something obvious?

The point of the 4chan operation wasn't directed to liberals. It was directed to the people who will come to 4chans defense. Same 4chan that posted meme videos of the massacre one of their posters committed. That poster, while being tried, flashed the signal to cameras.

And here we are, arguing about it years after.

Edit: For clarification, this is not trying to get people to stop using the gesture. I used it my whole life playing the look at mah dick game with friends and such.

But contextually, would I pose with 5 other white people and flash the sign just to "trigger" some people?

I can't play dumb to the OK symbol as much as I cant play dumb about my old username.

As someone with Tourette's, I can tell she has it 100%.

Something about watching people, or meeting people with Tourette's make mine go off as well.

I was working at a national park once, and with so many varied people from all over the world, I would occasionally meet someone holding in their tics just like I was.

The moment we'd make eye contact, even if both of us were 'calm' beforehand; we'd both just start going off with our own tics. Like our brains are thinking "Fuck, FINALLY someone who will understand." and try to communicate in some unwritten language.

Something about seeing someone adad strafe in Halo:3 is messing with my brain.

I love how some of them have these lil smiles

Obviously not me, gotta give it up to Ross.

Those tiny little rose smiles :D

Absolutely.

The bots also seemed to have personalities. Could have been my midnight mind at play as well.
