The problematic concrete of this woefully pedestrian reasoning is, that it only works (AHAHA) for those who cannot/do not question it. Scrutinise, even for a moment, the façade will crumble.

MUMMY SAYS SO, MUMMY SAYS SO.

Cretins will always have their bargain insulation. :drunk:

So I finally got around to playing Oblivion. It was so hyped up, I was expecting like the savior of games or something. Unfortunately, it feels like I'm playing a first-person Diablo. Dungeons, killing skeletons and goblins, and giant freaking rats that leap at you, and collecting loot. Dear god I hope they use SPECIAL in FO3.

I'm still plaing the game...Mainly because I'm making lots of cheat mods and such....Not because I really love the game, but because it is easy to do. I've made 3 mods so far and just decided to compile them into one mod this afternoon. I'm in the middle of bug testing. One of the NPCs I made keeps falling from great distances, dying, disappearing, and falling again....over...and over....and over.... I think I'll let him keep doing that.

I took Oblivion back a couple weeks ago and got another game.

Oblivion is boring.

A plastic box, housing substandard computer equipment, and emblazoned with a bold green X 'cross the top, is hardly insulation on the cheap. I reckon them babies run ya two to five smackers, depending on yer model year and your sealant.

Heck of a sealant, that Tru-Coat.

Eating lots of food however, and then not working it off, is excellent insulation, and can be had quite readily, what with the cheapness of sweets and the abundance of dole. But I don't hate chunky people. Hell, I'm hardly skinny 'round the waistline myself. But hey, you don't see me trotting around campus, all of eighteen and chock full of Felicity Kendall TV and Herbal Essence Feminist Empowerment, touting my loose morals through my angelhair dishrag tanktop. Grody.

You go girl!
You shake that shit!

Yeah, let it all hang out, sloppy and dumpy like. Mmmnn yeah, like a hoagie. Long Island bitches with cottage cheese asses; watch 'em as they jiggle 'round the town.

For Chrissakes Ladies, pull your fucking shirts down, wear things that fit you, take your pyjamas off after breakfast, and give all of your skimpy clothes to your shapely roommates.

Is that really so much to ask?

Yes and No.

Literally.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but I'm much happier as a man, methinks, but having never been a woman I guess I have no frame of reference. I don't fear women, Blargh, I just deny them my essence.

The problem is that most of the white girls in the Rustbelt, being either Celtic or Slavic, have ethnically merged over the years into the Celto-Slav.
Their features are either:
  • 1. Pencil thin, with fair hair, huge foreheads, and knobby 18 year boy asses. Safe to mention no titties, either.

    2. Built like a brick shithouse. Squat, unappealing, with no external aesthetic conception of Golden Ratios or even the most basic fucking hygene. They might have nice boobs, but the boobs themselves, let alone the girls, are way too free range. Think beef cattle, on multiple levels. With teeny tank tops.
I mean, there is a Slut Ideal. The Mediterranean type, delicious olive skinned beauties. Puerto Rican girls, Italians, even Asians.
Bottom line: If you want to do chunky, then at least be classy about it.
  • A nice pair of 'come hither' boots and hoopy earrings scream, "Let's fuck, but be gone before my boyfriend comes home."

    An ill-fitting tank top and pajama bottoms scream, "I'm lonely and I'm willing to do anything, physically, to keep a man. But I don't enjoy sex, I just want committment. And I'm whiny, and I don't want to go out to the club, I just wanna stay home and watch a movie."
And what's this I hear about guys being clingy? That's a laugh. There's two kinds of Klingons, and hopefully neither is the mainstream.
  • 1. Guys who like eyeliner and Nightcap For Cutie. They cry a lot, and leave a lot of voicemail, but they're ineffectual and emasculated. They "just want to be friends" and generally act the drama queen.

    2. Guys who loop Sweet Home Alabama [or Slim Shady] over and over and over again on their CD Players, who like Git-R-Done and don't necessarily want to continue the realtionship so much as they want to "Choke that bitch, 'cause nobody walks out on me." They're also ineffectual and emasculated, but they project and rationalize and all that psycho shit.

ZOUNDS ! IT HAS ESCAPED !!!!! The inner . . psychologist is . . . writing, forgive me, Juli -

You've several unresolved issues along this particular tangent, hmm ? Pain, humiliation, remorse, neuroses, four-fold scarification. They took something from you, hmm ?

No, no, unnecessary response : you already hav -

!

And with that, back to the cell.

In closing, this was far more interesting/entertaining/insightful than Oblivion ever could be. Wafer thin praise of ill repute ? Flimsy comparison ? Indubitably. :drunk:

Well, I must admit I am a bit of a misogynist. Of course, I hate most people, regardless of gender. It's the Germanic in me that does it, makes me grumpy I mean. And a bit of a hermit.

The problem, as I see it, lies with style. I see a definite lack of style these days, especially amongst our slut community, and I feel it's my duty to do something, anything about it.

I'm drawing attention to a problem that plagues our society, that is, the squishing and squashing and squeezing of this into this.

I just read that shit and I must admit that I feel... well, essentially not very different from 5 minutes ago.

But that was some nice pondering. Definitely Feelings Online material. The opinion on women tends to vary over time and it can change in a jiffy, if you know what I mean.

What in fuck's name are you blathering about. It's got nothing to do with your german part, you're just fucked up in general, that's all. Filthy racist.

My comedy goes over great on improv night. But those drunks'll laugh at anything. I do it to overcome my public speaking anxiety. Anyways, sexist, yeah. Piggy? Probably. But racist, moi? That's a rash indictment.

And I've been working on my Misanthrope's MA, Blargh. Almost there. I just have to write my paper over the summer.

Racism as hamhanded segue into more pertinent subject matter: If Oblivion takes place in the core of the empire, then why are there seemingly equal proportions of races throughout? I know this is video game land and who really cares, but an empire, say, the Austro-Hungarian, would have Austrian adminjstrators and bureaucrats. Presumably, it would have an Autrian core as well. Why is the core of this empire populated with more furries and reptile men than Imperials? Why does a game with furries have to be pc?

Oh it doesn't. There's no real need for pc at all. In fact, I'd say it does nothing but harm.
