Welp, I just read further back and yeah, the post gap between the arguments about sexism being an easy way to make a dude EVIL (which I agree with) and HO's post threw me for a bit. I'll still stand by my post though, you see so many people arguing for the right to be assholes you just get sick of it. Besides, underdoing being PC hurts far more real people than overdoing it, though a balance is to be aimed for.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

PC is a thing of unspeakable evil - in 2 generations we shall either be scorned for our foolishness or praised as the progenitors of the benign blandness that replaces all art, life, entertainment, and personal interaction. There will come a time when it becomes illegal to possess or express an opinion other than accepting & welcoming any thing that arises, without regard for personal beliefs (which will be illegal as well).

So cheerful

I was just so confused by Illy's response. I assumed HiddenOne was referring to the Microsoft kind of PC :killingme:

I was, not sure what Illy's knickers are twisted about...I think all technology should have stopped with the Tandy computer programmable with Basic I had in the 80s. I loved those color changing screens you could program.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Illy, I often agree with some things you say, always amusing ofc, but you misunderstand my intent. I don't want especially to hear entertainers use racial/sexual/disabled slurs in particular. I just want the freedom of expression that must exist for that to be able to happen. By all means, let's teach our kids to be fair to those who are different. But we shouldn't have to embrace a culture that forces us all to think the same way, in a manner that has been dictated to us by a higher power of some kind.

Admittedly, I derailed this thread (not my intent, for the thought I expresses was earnest, if not in itself PC) and I will not attempt to carry out this conversation unless its needful and some modgod wants to move us to the discussion forum for neatness' sake.

But know that I don't get my opinions from a website, give me some credit. I just refuse to be told how to think, and therefore act. If one has a sense of ethics, then it should be apparent what is right & wrong. Besides, without the right to be an "asshole" imagine how much less interesting both my posts and yours would seem.

chat won't let me in!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

While I don't think it'll become as bad as you think, I appreciate your post here. Though to be fair, most of my assholery is towards voluntary facets of a person's identity. You don't choose to be gay, but you do choose to be a brony, and so on.

Be glad you have finished and leave the worrying for another day. The effort is done now so all you have to do is consider options and draw up a battle plan for the likely outcomes. Stuff like exam results are so stressful but in the longer term, once the decisions are made with the options you have gained from the results you get, they will be a distant memory! Just keep on trucking and make the most of opportunities open to you. Even if you have totally fucked up, it doesn't change that you have to work through your options and make the most of them. Cold hard logic rules in situations like this!!

I recommend constant maximum worry over everything, even that over which you have no control.

A few things...the Flyers' hockey season is over, I'm still kinda bummed out that MCA passed away and I'm disgusted with the same sex marriage decision in North Carolina.

Constant employment rejection.

This month has been absolute ASS for all the things that have come up cost-wise.

It's like someone decided EVERYTHING was due right this fucking second.

Trying not to get angry or take it personally when everything nice I try to do for someone ends up either being completely ignored or thrown back in my face.

Doing my best!

Somehow lost my wallet while at flinders street station. Had my debit card, concession card, learners permit, blood donor card and State Library card in it. I filled out a form in case it gets handed in but I severely doubt it.

Very pissed off right now.
