What fucking language are you speaking?

Goon Danton posted:

Rationalist mra poo poo in a Kermit voice is usually a Jordan Peterson impression, so probably one from the past year or two instead of an early mra/pua ep

Personally, I only heard Jordan Peterson's speaking voice for the first time a week or so ago. Believe it or not, I don't really seek out his stuff all that much?? Like, I listened to the IDOETV episode on his stupid lobster book and that's about as much fun as I am willing to have with that guy.

When I did hear a clip of Peterson giving a speech, however, I say to myself outloud "Holy poo poo, that's the Boots voice."

And Boots IS the Voice of the Spearhead after all.

So, no, but yes.

Which ep has Boots saying "These are facts!" in a sort of Kermit voice, while Bozarth (iirc) is moaning "Nooo....etc" in response.

Feels like an old MRA-related topic, but I'm struggling to recall anything more specific.

I think it’s the high school survival episode, he’s reading a list of reasons kids should be allowed to watch porn.

Edit: If that's the episode, it's not a Jordan Peterson voice, just a fedora nerd voice.

Edit again: He does say, "Remember, these are facts!" at 53:33, but the response from Adam is completely different. I think that kalensc is remembering the reaction to Maslow's hierarchy of needs a few minutes earlier in the reading.

I am disappointed that https://www.zenofsoaking.com was not included. I honestly can't tell how serious it is.

quote:

If this is your first dive into the Zen of Soaking, it is best to begin by putting aside everything you feel you know about water blasters and water warfare. One cannot see truth if one has already pre-judged the outcome. Remember, the essence of the Soaking is Water with all its enigmatic, shapeless perfection.

The Zen of Soaking (禪水) is a school of water warfare that holds its emphasis on daily soaking practice and experiential wisdom. It is only through direct individual experience that one's Water Warrior nature will be discovered. Our focus is not on theoretical knowledge and the study of texts; such pursuits can lead one to seek out external answers and not learn about oneself which is where one's Water Warrior nature resides. Perhaps ironically, the composition of this site is solely text and imagery, but its goal is to help one learn to look deeper into one's mind and uncover one's Water Warrior nature through meditation and practical soaking exercises. Concepts and ideas are presented to help individuals find ways such that they can look more completely at their Water Warrior-selves. Through this, one will step closer to true Water Warfare Enlightenment through inner reflection. It should be noted that due to the nature of the self-discovery process required to achieve true Zen of Soaking status, this site will endeavour to cover concepts behind the Zen of Soaking, but detailed descriptions for some aspects will be glossed over, requiring the reader to consult other sources for specifics. If one can gain an understanding of what is involved in order to effectively pursue enlightenment in the Zen of Soaking, one will be able to readily seek out the specific details this site does not cover.

There are no strict texts or particular set of steps or achievements one must fulfil in order to fully understand the Zen of Soaking. The only limitations are those one imposes on oneself. With an open mind, one can choose to begin the journey towards true Water Warfare Enlightenment.

Many make the misjudgement that the largest, most powerful water blaster must therefore be the best water blaster. In the quest for dominance on the water warfare field, it is never the case the most powerful water blaster that rules supreme, rather it is the most capable individual who prevails. Statistics or capabilities of the physical tools used in soaking become inconsequential when compared to those who hold a true passion for and understanding of Water, itself. This site is designed to aid an individual to get closer to achieving pure water warfare enlightenment. However, no amount of reading or performance of exercises in itself will guarantee enlightenment. It is the openness and willingness of the individual that will determine his own path towards becoming an enlightened Water Warrior.

quote:

The Water Warrior accepts the fundamental dual-nature of the universe as a given and employs this knowledge to harness the flows of change. There can be no soak if there is no dry. There is no victor without another suffering defeat. With focus and training, an enlightened Water Warrior will be able to innately sense levels of Yin and Yang that surround him, adapting his own actions and directions based on the flow of force that surrounds.

However, as there is never an absolute balance between the yin and yang, the enlightened Water Warior strives to remain slightly on the yang side, sending yin towards his opponents while preserving more yang for himself. As should now be apparent, this is the essence of the successful soak.

and it's got poetry

yea I had the same reaction to the flashlight dudes honestly. Like, I'm not gonna get THAT hype over flashlights but there was some post about a dude trying to get his light brighter with a new head with better bulbs or some dumb poo poo and I was all 'yea I get it, you want good light, get that good light man'.

The harmless weirdos are the soothing balm between bursts of 'I buried a jar of piss in my neighbor's yard to ward off demons but she didn't thank me, how can I curse her' and 'yea but if you think about it shouldn't Skyrim have rape in it for realism?' freaks.

Oh yes, absolutely.
I'm absolutely happy for them to have such an investment in their hobby, in a way that doesn't hurt anyone - themselves included (which is often the flip side).
It's just unusual - though refreshing.

I had this one and the kid up the street from me gave me one that looked like an AK. They were the first things I searched out when the episode started and that led to the one that looked like a Soviet rocket launcher, which I vaguely remember from commercials. I remember being so disappointed that it didn't actually shoot a rocket but was just another squirt gun.

Not really, it’s hard to get water balloons durable enough to survive mechanical handing that are also fragile enough to break on blunt impact.

We're seeing a steep decline in the prosecution of water war crimes now that tribunals only occupy four to eight feet of shelf space in most retail stores, crowded out by courts dedicated to other water-play human rights violations
