He is not unable to, but apparently he does not want to. Just like you don't want to stop arguing and posting here. I guess the answer would be the quest for fun. Also, ignore list is a weak argument. This rant is about the mindset that people have against using low Xp rate methods for the sake of goals and achievements. As he said himself, he is not bothered by their asking as much as he is the mindset they have in the first place. Using the ignore list does nothing about the fact that they uphold that particular belief - which is what he takes issue with. Also not to mention, he would not be having fun adding name after name to his ignore list, when nobody should even care so much. It also gives him incentive to rant, which is a good way to get the arguments rolling, and we know how fun that is.

I agree 100%. So what's the problem, then? We're going through a recurring continuum of proclaimed triviality which was initiated with "What an unnecessary thing to ask a Woodcutter!" followed by "What an unnecessary rant!" followed by "What an unnecessary post!" followed by "What an unnecessary post!"---> This is perpetuated by the following factors: 1. We like to argue. 2. It serves to keep the Rants alive and kicking, which is a plus. This place can be pretty fun (dramatic) when it isn't stagnating and rotting. 3. MOAR post count.

Chicken. I'm just making an observation on the double-standards I've seen. Such as "why do you care? just ignore it" when the same thing could be applied conversely. Nothing personal, only logical. Why should it be applied? Clearly the OP wanted a reaction/response if he posted a rant. As such, my responses are totally warranted. :) And, for the last time, arguing is fun, so ignoring the OP would mean less fun for me, and I like my fun. Of course he wanted a response, as did you by formulating an argument and presenting it to the board. And I agree that arguing is fun or else I wouldn't be doing it. Ranting can be fun too though.

I said it was my issue. No reading skills ftw indeed. Might I add, ignore list does not get rid of the fact that people believe there is objectively no good reason one would choose to do something with a lower Xp yield, which is what this rant is about. I wouldn't need to point this out if you could read though.

My main issue in this thread is why people like you allow themselves to be emotionally manipulated by refusing to ignore this thread which is an ability available to them. And the cycle continues. Uh oh, here it comes... "Butt im not mad brah!"

I like to put myself through miserable conditions such as freezing my ass off or starving, and then rewarding myself with a hot shower or nice meal. It helps me appreciate it. Plus it's something to do. Same here bro.

With home addresses, bank accounts, anatomic privates, and Christmas gift shopping lists being the only exceptions, I say [bleep] censorship. Oh no you didn't. :eek: I do agree that continuing the sex after the person takes away their consent should be considered a severe sexual offense, but putting it on the same level as a woman who gets gang raped in a back alley with absolutely zero consent is an insult. It is still "rape", but a different kind - one situation is quite a bit more grave and emotionally damaging than the other.

That is true, but it depends on the temperature. Humidity exacerbates hot temperatures as well as cold ones. Temperature perception may be affected by relative humidity in the reverse. On cold days, usually those below 53 degrees F (11.67 degrees C), higher humidity can actually make people feel colder than they normally would. Though other determinants like wind chill may affect “temperature feel” and perception, relative humidity in cold weather may also be an important factor. Freezing weather with a near 100% relative humidity may be much chillier in feel than freezing weather with a lower level of humidity. link I find it quite interesting. It also gives me more motivation to get the hell off this peninsula.

Highly unlikely. Anyways, what are you getting me? :grin:

Fahrenheit doesn't mean jack when you don't take into account the humidity. Some days it will actually feel colder here during the winter than it did in Pennsylvania.

I've been disappointed by Chinese restaurants yet again. It's time to start boycotting.

Florida's climate. It is either way too hot or way too cold. We complain about the weather a lot.

He'd get my vote for the facial hair alone. That's probably the best reason I've heard someone use to vote for a politician. No, seriously. It really is a matter of picking a douche bag or a turd sandwich.

I tipped the pizza delivery man $3.50.

Being on a romantic canoe ride with your lover and being sucked down into a turbulent whirlpool, with the boat splitting in half from the pressure and clamping into itself resulting in you getting pancaked into your lover... ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY.

OMG, mine too bro. :shades: Nine more days.

My sperm form was very instinctually eager to reach the egg, so I was born. I don't see any good reason to challenge the greatest opportunity I will ever come across. Plus I enjoy getting high, whether the endorphin rush is achieved through drugs, food, sex, or comfort.

Religion is unnecessary. Down with religion.

>implying that there is such thing as evil Prime example of my point. Moral nihilists see no problem with raping and mutilating an innocent person, because morality has no intrinsic value, therefore making it no different than giving her a pat on the back and a compliment. Why do they do it? Because they believe themselves to be so intelligent that they are above morality. The funny thing is how my enemy feels the need to point out "inherent pointlessness". so moral nihilists are rapists? stop being so hyperbolic. i think you seriously misunderstand moral nihilism if you think it's anything about being above morality. your enemy..? weren't you complaining about the polarization of these forums like a page ago? and there's a difference between having a psychological compulsion to post and a desire to post. edit: gonna go a bit off topic with the whole moral nihilist rapes an innocent person (which is funny that you should include "innocent", because that suggests that the converse, that is to rape a non-innocent person, would not be offensive to you). moral nihilists do not say "there is nothing wrong with raping an innocent person". they say, "there is nothing INERENTLY moral, one way or the other, with raping an innocent person". obviously they do see a problem with it, here are just a few: social stigma of being a rapist loss of freedom (imprisonment) loss of potential dollars earned (because you were imprisoned) harder to get a job I never said moral nihilists are rapists, but some rapists are moral nihilists. {Strawman #1} Also, moral nihilism is about being "above" morality just as much as atheism is being "above" god. They do not believe the concepts. They do not think it is applicable to their life. They act with the concepts completely void from their minds. I never complained about the polarization of these forums on the last page. {Strawman #2} If anything polarization is healthy, because we can't have weeds in a garden that's meant to be beautiful. Also, desire is a psychological compulsion. I never implied that raping a non-innocent person would not be offensive to me. {Strawman #3} If I were to say "it is wrong to kill an old cat" does that denote that I think it's okay to kill a new dog? You reiterated my point on how moral nihilists feel: Raping and mutilating a girl is no different than giving her a pat on the back and a compliment, because morality has no intrinsic value. You are also being pedantic by saying rapists do see a problem with rape because it makes it harder for them to get a job. Obviously I was speaking on a moral level. Even I give my enemies the benefit of the doubt in a logical debate. Jesus, have you ever even watched Pulp Fiction?

I agree that you shouldn't personally be as bothered over internet insults, but I don't see how it is any more justifiable for the perpetrator to insult someone online than in person. Anonymity is a weak justification for acting like a [bleep]. Your reputation might not be on the line, but that's what your conscience is for. I think it's alright to be a [bleep], but I would say it's pretty pathetic (and deceitful, cowardly, etc.) to act like a badass on the internet but be a nice guy in real life. Also, you are disabling your opponent from kicking your ass, which is dishonorable.

Let me get this straight. Online, the person getting offended is to blame. Offline, the person doing the offending is to blame. Why is that? Maliciousness can still exist throughout other mediums, such as the internet. What is your take on insults over the phone? Over mail? Morse code? When it was pointed out to you that there is really no difference between an insult online or an insult offline, you respond with, "Well, I'm sorry you have such a hard time on the internet." So again, why is it reasonable to get upset about insults in real life, but not online? Because it is so much harder to handle in real life?

That's not true at all. In 7th and 8th grade, I was like 4' 11'' and weighed maybe 80 pounds. My voice was higher than I bet Lindsey Lohan is right now. I was bullied a crapton by pretty much everyone. Then I grew like 14 inches in a couple years, but still. It hurts IRL =( especially when it's people you know and used to be friends with :( His point was that walking away doesn't really negate an insult any more than putting someone on your ignore list does. Because you think it is reasonable to be bothered by insults in real life, but not on the internet.

Yea, and in real life you have the option of walking away. Doesn't make it any more or less insulting. Or laughing at the fact they are trying to insult you with words. Really, no different. Sorry, but the only response I can come up with is Lol. I'm sorry you have such a hard time on the internet. I really am. Good luck with that. Implying that you have such a hard time in real life? Funnily enough, these make for the best threads in the Rants Forum.

Way to trivialize the issue. I would go as far as saying that select few are legitimate sadists.
