Happy Friday the 13th. Even though I don't necessarily believe that Friday the 13th is a cursed day, I always end up being anxious, no matter how hard I try persuading myself that it's just a regular day. I vaguely remember a very bad Friday the 13th when I was a kid, I'm guessing that's the reason.
 
Happy flood of Facebook messages making references to a series of rather shitty movies. Like November 5th wasn't bad enough, with people not even knowing the actual comic...

I was born on Friday the 13th. And there's nothing wrong with me :look:
 
I always like to watch as many horror movies as I can on Friday the 13th. In honor of all those poor Templars...
 
Actually, if you consider that the Templars have been very often described as christian fanatics - definitely in battle. Friday the 13th could be seen as day of joy, if the story with the Templars and the date is correct. It is all relative I guess, depending on how you look at it.

Anyway I didn't even noticed that today is Friday the 13th.

Yay! You just reminded me AVGN existed. Time to catch up.

I never considered the number 13th to be anything negative, then again maybe its because I'm secretly evil? >_>:newevil::twisted::razz:

People who go all "Oh I thought they were chocolate chip cookies but were actually raisin oatmeal cookies! Chocolate chip cookies are the only yummy cookies!" really piss me off. Fix your god damn taste palette you fucking pleb god damnit.

I don't like eating what I expect to be chocolate chip and finding out it's raisin. But these are NOT oatmeal cookies. If they were, it'd be okay. Now if I spot some oatmeal raisin cookies, I'm cool with that. I like those too. But what I DON'T like in my cookies are fucking nuts... Wallnuts, almonds, it doesn't matter what, I fucking hate biting into a nice soft cookie and having to suffer this gravel-like shit that offers the cookie NOTHING. No delightful texture, just hardness to have to suffer through. No tasty flavor to add to the cookie's own, just fucking tasteless blah. Fuck nuts. Keep them out of my cookies!

Also Andrew Garfield WAS the best Spidey! He had the right dorkiness yet charming cleverness as Parker and all the right snarkiness as Spider-Man. And for a 30 year old he LOOKED 19-20! AND he had that New Yorker accent down which the other actors just... didn't. AND he was lanky, so he looked skinny like Spider-Man's supposed to, not all short and/or chunky like Spidey's past. Could the material he worked with been better? Absolutely. But on his own, he was the best Peter Park we've been given. =D

Nuts don't belong in cookies!
 
[angst]I no longer know what to do with my days. I'm not enjoying games any more. I can only watch blurays on wednesday evenings and friday evenings and whenever else my parents aren't home. Yeah I'm 21 and still live with my parents. And it is likely to stay that way for years. I'm not only autistic, but a failure on every level. Lack of trying academically has led to me being alienated from everyone around me. And now look at me, I'm making some self-deprecating attention bait on here. I guess I despise myself and everything I make or say, including forum posts, so much, that I almost don't care what I post at all. I'm a privileged first world very healthy relatively good looking person with a ton of free time. I watched Taxi Driver at my internship today. I have so little work I can watch movies. I even watched the 3 hour director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven. I like to pretend exploring arts and culture through movies, books, comics, series, etcetera, is a worthwhile enough pursuit to not feel completely and utterly lost. Not in any pretentious sense where I lay blame on the world rather than my own action. Rather lost through my own failure. That post-modern self deprecating yet egotistical mindset. For all my ignorance I at least know myself quite well. Explaining my self to numerous social workers and/or psychologists is actually a favored activitity of mine. I don't have any big problems in my life so I'm hopeless in the face of mere responsibility, but maybe this is an entertaining tale for some of you. I'm such a whiny moron, hahahaha. My only real problem is that I am surrounded by culture barbarians. I need to visit the Dutch Ghost again some time soon. Or he could come over and watch some blurays with me. I have quite the collection.[/angst]

You should write a book, you are well read and have a lot of references, you could give it a go.
 
The Catcher in the Rye was boring as fuck.

If all else fails, Akratus, going on a killing spree is not a bad idea. Or committing suicide. Maybe a combination of both...
Just be sure to mail all your stuff to me before you do any of those things.



Edit: Why don't you try some art uni or something if you're into arts?

Why don't you try to find an answer to things like "Does external reality exists or is it all just in my mind?"; "Why is existance necessary at all if there is no higher purpose? There could well be nothing at all." It makes great topics for when you are angsty.

I'm telling you, it's this cynical society that tries to tell us everything is explained an there is no purpose for anything, that nothing has meaning, where any idiot is a proud atheist and gloats in their self rightheus cynicism, like being like that makes them smarter and better than others.

I'm telling you, there is no greater blessing in this time and age than being a bit crazy and gullible and still amaze yourself at the unknown.

Anyway, my two cents of philosophy, or two cent philosophy, however you want to put it.
 
I'm a bit confused how you can both scorn idiots who think they're better than anyone else because they're atheists, and also quote subjectivist jargon in your sig. To me, they're peas in a pod. They're all haughty ass-hats who think they're better and smarter than everyone else, while spewing pretentiousness like some kind of rocket-propelled projectile vomit, and just as enjoyable to be on the receiving end of either.

Unless the subsequent inclusion of the 3rd quote was to somehow turn them into a series of jokes with the fascist external reality for the punchline?

So sayeth the king of jargon! :lol:

Edit: I'm sorry to butt in, but I don't think it's a wise thing to say that all atheists are "haughty ass hats". Not all Catholic priests are pedophiles, either. I've heard some excellent points made by atheists, but I don't consider myself intellectually superior to anyone else just because I agree with them. If anything, it makes me feel more able to reach out to people and have more intimate (and more informed) discussions with them about religious and secular topics. It makes me feel closer to people, in that sense.

If you're insinuating I'm the king of jargon, I don't get it.

In all sincerity, however, how does it make intellectual discussion or interpersonal equality or "closeness" better for someone to be objectionable towards faith? I've tried to hold the most civil discourses with outspoken atheists with the most understated motives as physically possible. All I wanted were stimulating debate, I wasn't trying to tell them they're wrong, I was curious about their perspective. I'd go as far as to let them tell me what I believe, let them control the conversation, just so we could converse, and I've yet to have a satisfying discussion with any of them. It ALWAYS came down to if I'm not against faith, I'm an idiot. I'm inferior to them, because I don't agree with them. I don't agree with them, because I'm asking questions. 100% of the time. And they know this for a fact, of course!

Self-described agnostics, on the other hand, I've had a wealth of intelligent discussions with. One described herself as looking to the sun as the closest thing to a deity, and it wasn't that one thing she said, but the totality of our conversations that I found fascinating and, most of all, intellectually stimulating. I sometimes joke with one of my cousins for "coming out" as an agnostic, because their parents are traditional Eastern Orthodox Christians, and it might break their hearts to learn this, but in fact they quietly accepted it as they love their child most of all, so for my own amusement I've since moved on to joking with them about their inability to cook a decent meal despite those same parents once owning a restaurant... XD But people who openly state "I don't know" always strike me as the far more reasonable sorts than any others. The ones who look at terrible things done in the name of religion and use that to say ALL religion is universally x because x was done in the name of a religion just strikes me as an intellectual tragedy. That's not necessarily regressive or oppressive but it is stagnant thinking. But those who say they KNOW this or they KNOW that rub me the wrong way.

I see no difference between those who say they know there's no God and those who say they know they're going to heaven. Same level of empty-headed bigotry, to me.
 
I like how "some wise guy" can both be taken literally as to mean someone of reverence for their wisdom, as well as taken as a cultural turn of phrase to mean a snarky insult. =D
