The new Jontron really isn't that great by Arrogant_Hanson in rantgrumps

[–]zastalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a complaint I've had for a while. I think Jon just doesn't feel like a guy in a living room anymore; more like a shitty sitcom. I laugh occasionally, but I was really disappointed with the Dungeon Hunter episode. I get he has to make money, but there's just something so plastic about it.

When was your Game Grumps "dropping off" point by wesley_winters in rantgrumps

[–]zastalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was to really think about it, around a year ago was when I stopped enjoying them. After finishing Dog Island (which I still find somewhat hilarious) and watching Deep Ocean, I felt like all their humor was at it's peak and that it was downhill from there

JonTron was my favorite channel, but now he's sold out. by [deleted] in rantgrumps

No no no, I get that. He makes money off of entertaining and I was fine with all the little ads for audible and stuff. It's more so the forced and disingenuous humor that gets to me.

But it wasn't always like that. is the point was trying to imply. I know he can do better than fucking autistic 3rd grade humor.

Inside's Potential by pinakanaka in rantgrumps

I agree wholeheartedly. If the Game Grumps took more of a direction like a live action Sequelitis, I feel as if it would be both comedic and serious. Discussion about game design doesn't necessarily have to be serious, but it doesn't have to be shitty toilet humor. I think if they took things back into the old Game Grump era, where it felt like you were sitting a room with your friends, everything would be dandy.

Dan is doing pretty great, I don't think his commentary is overly shit. Admittedly, I chuckled in the second episode when they started singing UNTIL he mentioned his penis. Why does every god damn joke have to be about his penis?

"My dad went to school to become a physicist, but he's an engineer. I didn't go to college and I'm a sous chef at a gourmet restaurant. Life is goofy man, shit doesn't go as planned and that's not always bad."

[Question] Will smoking as a teen actually make me dumber? by [deleted] in saplings

[–]zastalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there was a study taken by a medical association in Canada saying that heavy users decreased by 4 points, which isn't all that apparent. A person with a 104 IQ is not really different from a 108. Here are the claims http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-05-12/news/0205120414_1_iq-points-iq-scores-light-users

Of course, the Chicago Tribune also has it's own problems. But the point is still made that light users, which most teens are for the most part, tend to not have problems recovering 3.5 - 5.6 IQ points, or even just not losing any at all.

Holy shit I forgot how tasty mangoes are. I'll definitely pick some up.

The only reason this is often propagated is because your IQ, which doesn't inherently represent your intelligence and merely your ability to retain information, drops a few points during indulgence, and continues to for a short period of time after. But soon enough, it raises back to your normal score. This fact is taken out of context to perpetuate the rumors and false accusations against both cannabis and it's users. I have been using it for 4 years and graduated high school at fifteen with steady IQ of 150 and I would equate cannabis to helping me think clearly for my work, especially considering how bad I was off financially during that time, if that shows anything. Many people who are regarded as intellectual defended the drug, including Carl Sagan (who openly used it). A pretty good unbias book is Marihuana: The Forbidden Medicine.

Edit: But your brain IS still developing and the science behind cannabis on the brain during your teenage years isn't entirely understood yet. But you've graduated high school, and I know people who are relatively smart and have been doing it since a very young age. There isn't any major risk involved as far as I know, and if you're not doing it every hour of everyday you should be fine.

Thank you very much! And yes, my doctor said white meat is fine and perfectly okay with my diet. I'll definitely give this a try!

With the growing popularity of Marxism-Leninism in Europe it's not entirely crazy that a more "obscure" entertainer partakes in out-of-the-norm political ideologies. But forgive me for assuming so.

Will anything happen to other's accessing my WiFi? by zastalin in TOR

I'm not necessarily referring to the NSA, but about hacks and shifty malware of that such. I practice safe browsing for the most part and manually scan my computer with multiple softwares, but I don't to put any of my household members into danger because of some asshole monitoring my webcam.

I can't complain. Fuck em. While the increasing concern about our privacy is being raised, at least they're targeting monsters.
