You’ve patiently put up with my insanity far longer than most, and seem to be sincere with me at least even tho I’ve been hard on you, so props for that
You’ve not exactly said you wanted a light hearted conversation here, you’ve said you did think it could happen. I don’t disagree, it could have happened based off of how you’ve conducted yourself but that would’ve required people here to be softer on you than you’ve been with women. If you wanted a light hearted conversation, you could have posted in a way that increased the probability of that result, depending on how badly you wanted it
You’ve also said that you didn’t expect things to go well with you sharing your views here, it’s just that maybe you were open to it. Well, again, what you get out of this is highly correlated with what you put in. I’ve tried carefully crafting bunches of posts before in order to increase the probability of getting a useful result only to delete the darn thing rather than posting because I found something better than I would have hoped just by thinking through my own thoughts on the matter while constructing the post. If I have a negative expectation, it’s usually better to just delete it as well, in my opinion
You’re almost certainly projecting here, even if it’s true. Also Brick posted videos and got in depth replies. If you don’t want to link nothing of course you don’t have to, but you don’t know that what I’ve quoted here is true - maybe it just feels that way. No disrespect intended
maybe he is just trolling then? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised … I still subscribe to the maxim of Hanlon’s razor in this case…I could very well be wrong
He did. See my second last post above. Then he went into the “shrinking economy” and was challenged by @polo77j. Then he claimed he meant the “gig economy” and @anon50325502 and @Basement_Gainz challenged him. That’s why he went back to “this is what I’m seeing”. It’s all above.
Just because none of us feel the last 2 links brick posted are relevant to the issue at hand, he’s pretending all the above never happened and using this as an excuse to claim what he did in that quote you quoted.
@dt79 Quote them. You’ll turn it into what you perceive me saying anyways.
Just like @dagill2 did in another thread. He came at me asking what my qualifications were for suggesting a guy look into something. Not that the guy should, or anything like that. That he should consider reading a book, and listening to a podcast on recent findings about a topic.
Think about that. That’s the level you guys are on now.
Considering there is compelling evidence that it may work I do not see the problem in suggesting him look into it. Read up on it. Do his research like any adult should do.
I attribute a minimum of common sense to those I engage in conversation with. If the person would go do something just on a random dudes advice on the net well, then, the village idiot is there to show us what not to do huh?
Point to me where you humbly agreed to something someone challenged you on. This doesn’t hold up because you appear to get very defensive about your position to the point multiple people see the same thing from you. We’ve already explained to you that we are not monolithic in our thinking or perspective. It’s been communicated by multiple people who see you demonstrating the exact opposite from what you said right here - i.e. we see you being inconsistent, some might say downright dishonest. You brush it off as if we’re being crazy. That might be the case … but you still fail to acknowledge that it also may NOT be the case.
Either way, I’m sure I just wasted key strokes - you’ll cherry pick this and deflect. Lather, rinse, repeat
If I say “man you guys are crazy” do you interpret that in a literal sense that I think you should be baker acted? Because if that is the case… geez.
Clearly, this is how you approach things. Because how else would me saying “t-nation” not come off that way to you? Which is so stupid, obviously I mean the people in this thread. Or is that really that fucking hard to understand?
I dunno, maybe I truly give too much benefit of the doubt that people after many years of the internet can somehow separate language use like that. Again, maybe I am wrong (look there’s another instance of me saying maybe it is just me).
You, and the same few that have engaged in here have done it from a very mob like perspective. No attempt into trying to get the core of what I say, only attacking language, and use of terms. That usually happens when no one wants to engage with the possibility of what I am saying.
“give us stats!!!”
“where is the research!?!?”
Why the hysteria? I have engaged with some people that actually brought up some points worth talking about. Going back and forth on interpreting other peoples citations is not worth it to me because I know most people won’t actually read, or listen to anything posted. Some will, most won’t.
I want to respond as best I can but I have to go back and remember where the conversation was, what was the point I was trying to make etc,
You’re replying to my joke post mocking you guys in here… what about Anna Kendrick again? I replied to the use of Anna Kendrick as an example of what I find to be really dumb to do :Use a celebrity you have no personal interaction with, no idea how the person is outside of “acting” to represent and example of whatever the fuck Emily said she was…Well balanced person not of your typical attraction? I don’t even remember.
It is the same way I feel about when people talk about athletes as heroes or stand up guys when they don’t even know these people personally. They could be complete fucking pieces of shit, idiots, that just throw a ball well. That’s my view.
And your reply to the statistics on suicide rates… again, I’m not sure what you are trying to argue with me about. I brought up the statistics because we are seeing a rise in suicide rates among young girls. Many sociologists/psychologists are attributing this to social media.
dude, I’m sorry, I’m tired, I’m not sure what you are saying to me. The only time I really replied about kendrick was towards Emily’s use.
The bolded part is exactly what I have a problem with. She radiates what? Being a fucking actress? She can be dumb as fucking shit, not funny at all, or even be a decent human being, you don’t know that, She’s AN ACTRESS.
I don’t even think I realized you brought it up at all? But again, I’m sorry I don’t know the point you are trying to make… im’ not trying to weasel out of anything. I’m a bit lost. again, I’m fucking exhausted so help me out I’ll try and reply one more time before I take a nap.
