Being wealthy and happy is better than being sad and poor. But is being poor and happy better than wealthy and sad? Yes. Yes it is.

I keep trying to like SU, because it really is good and stuff, but it's just some sort of personal incompatibility, I can only take one ep at a time. It's so full of empathy and "it's okay to be different" crap that I just gotta take it slow. Content: - As much as everyone loves a good beefsteak, I honestly think that, overall, I like pork more. Bonus that it's 1/10th the price sometimes.

WampaLord posted:South Park doesn't even try to do "the truth is in the middle" anymore, they just say "Who gives a gently caress about the truth? Sounds like you're caring about something, which is the worst thing anyone can do. Better to be permanently detached and above it all, then nothing can hurt you." But being hurt sucks. Know what doesn't suck? Hurting others.

Y'all are over thinking it because of years of being told "feminist" is a bad word. If it doesn't support the patriarchy, it's feminist. That's all it needs to be.

Someone way smarter than me came up with this summation that has stuck with me for years:quote:Patriarchy is a social system in which men are expected to dominate the central roles of leadership and authority. It is perpetuated through cultural norms and concepts which have roots from long before any of us were born. Patriarchy is not a secret cabal of men plotting ways to oppress women. It describes the entire structure of a given society, from the roles we are expected to play to the qualities and values which we perceive to be superior. It can be enforced and upheld by anyone, regardless of whether it benefits them or not. === Generic malt-o-meal versions of cereals are all better than the actual cereal they're generic versions of. Especially their honey bunches of oats with almonds.

Well, yeah, nothing can beat Crispix at its own game. But I was meaning specifically malt-o-meal brand generics. Other generics are fine, but malt-o-meal beats them all. To my knowledge, they've never attempted to infringe upon Crispix. Aramek has a new favorite as of 00:11 on Dec 8, 2016 |

Pick posted:The average Brit is no smarter, or dumber, than the average American. I remember a "study" they did (probably just a poll or something) that tried to chart positive opinion of British intelligence/character with how much personal contact Americans had. Turns out those with the least contact had the highest opinions, and the more familiarity rose, the opinion of England absolutely plummeted.

I love TV commercials. They're essentially little 10-60 second narratives. Every second of it has to be so carefully crafted to keep your attention, present the product, and create a memorable experience. Love the work that goes into that.

I think the Souls games would be better if they were turn based menu driven jrpgs, with a fuckload of plot and talking and cut scenes. And combat is selecting FIGHT from a menu and watching a big number pop out and then you always win. They're good the way they are, but I think that's an improvement they could make.
