I read the post, but I'm laughing at the Venn Diagram. Sheesh, don't get your panties in a wad. A poster who rarely posts in OT shows up and posts an opinion different from the norm. Let's all complain about his diagram and word choice, shall we? Then in a few months we can start a thread about how OT doesn't have real discussions and all the posts are by the same old people.

There comes a certain age at which one is expected to stop looking at the pictures in books and start reading the words for meaningful content. Had you taken time to read the post, you both would have realized that not only is the diagram not the most important part, but Archimage is actually saying something relevant to the "discussion" here. He is using a different definition of the word "liberal" than normally. Next time you think a post doesn't make sense, read it again instead of jumping down the poster's throat.

I do. I care. Really.

:arrow:

To be clear, those are not four different guesses. That would be cheating.

Are you really still upset about that mountain? I thought it was a pretty cool mountain, actually.

Insert "THAT"S THE JOKE" img here.

That is most certainly either a female or a male with an excellent costume. I would like to see more of you with that rooster.

Lol'd at the fact that 321 has already found and checked out this girl's youtube channel. Also, "10 users currently reading this topic", plus tripsis pretending to not be reading.

Yeah, they'll be worth half a scrap in a couple weeks anyways. As far as I know, they aren't rare as drops, so wasting a refined on each is just stupid. Plus, they're not really great weapons. The axe might be worthwhile in some cases, but how often do you come across a burning enemy as a scout?

Psycho, what's up with dat server? Seems especially laggy. It's still a free server, but whatever.

"Bloody ignorant apes" - Beckett said it right - every last one. For those who hadn't realized, my initial post was devolving into an extended Darwinism joke. I am a monkey, you are a monkey, we are all monkeys - assuming you allow a little leeway with the definition. However, I no longer feel any need to extend the joke through any logical conclusion, so there it is. As for the other posts in this thread, you should be ashamed. I no longer feel any need to justify this opinion, so reject me if you will, but I find the discussion here severely disappointing.

A C is absolutely not an average grade and you absolutely should feel bad about it. I guess the rest of the people in this thread have decided it's time for a life story, so I'll follow suit: I spent my early elementary school years without any effort or studying, recieving awards and promotions for gifted students along the way. Upon arriving at middle school, I realized the world around me was uninteresting and wasteful, at which point I began skipping homework assignments. My parents' berations of my aberrations began at this point, as I began recieving grades below B plus. The pattern continues to this day in a downward spiral. In a supposedly essential year at high school for my grades, I have skipped almost every major assignment in my English and History classes, rarely pay attention in Physics, and literally have not opened a math book all year. I remain in advanced classes due to my natural talents. I began to question the natural life path that had been laid out for me - college, higher education, success and fortune - early this year or late last. Recently, I began to question whether or not I would bother graduating high school. Over the past few months, I have been subjected to a series of psychological tests. The results found that I am not only completely sane, but also in the high 90th percentile for most intellectual functions. I plan to have an enjoyable and successful life. My Cs will do nothing to change that fact.

Precisely. It is all a matter of tradition - a better poll would be, "Which way were you raised". That said, over is the better of the two ways. I would say "it rips more cleanly", but applying logic to justify a matter of tradition is completely backwards.

Yesterday I was playing TF2 with a stupid kid (not young - a term) on the mic who had just had "3 servings of Monster" and thought it was a good idea to micspam about the stupidest and most irrelevent things. On top of that, he was a member of the clan that runs the server, and many people were being just as spammy as he. No admin asked him to stop. Now, it was annoying, but it wasn't terrible. However, it made me realize something of value: All those immature little [puncture]s everyone complains about on Runescape, Youtube, Facebook, wherever, they're in TF2 too. Then I looked around. They're on Reddit as well. They're also here, on TIF. And that is not all - Life is full of immature little [puncture]s. This is nothing new to me, nor should it be new to any of you, but at the time the extent of their suffusion seemed shocking. This "Monster" character on Team Fortress, before this specific incident, had appeared a perfectly likable and dignified individual. You see, the realization was not that immaturity exists, but that, instead of existing outside of my little bubble, I had actually surrounded myself with people with a different sort of immaturity. The immature little [puncture]s are not "they" at all - they are "we".

You're looking in the wrong place. Television, excepting a few special cases, has yet to enter the world of higher art. Normal television series are based off the idea that people watching them are just looking for a quick fix - something to temporarily subdue the infinite and pervasive boredom of life. The shows continue until funding runs out for two simple reasons: The first, no one cares; and the second, they are profitable. When asked for series that did finish, many excellent ones come to mind, often with the thought that they actually ended prematurely. Whether this is true, or simply an effect of the barrage of utter garbage modern man is subjected to, I cannot say. If you wish for titles, the two best examples that occur to me are the Sly Cooper video game series and the Sherlock Holmes stories. The former took the form of three excellent games for the PS2, then concluded, albeit indefinitely, but mostly permanently. Many a year has passed since Sly 3 was released, and any rumors regarding a fourth installment are just that - rumors. The latter, on the other hand, has many sequels, but none by the same author, for the simple and unavoidable reason that he is currently deceased, and will remain so indefinitely. Interestingly enough, Sir Conan Doyle actually did not write Holmes stories up to his death, but instead undertook many unusual philosophical projects, most of which would today be considered lunacy. At the time, he felt that the stories were below him, and interfered with his more intelligent musings, which he believed would be the true fuel for any future fame.

I can't say I have enough experience with sushi to formulate a reliable opinion, but I do know it's asian, so it's pretty unlikely that it's any good.
