  1. I don't usually try to interpret or ponder what I can't prove or disprove, meaning to life being one of many things. Here's my most angry-logical interpretation though:

     

    (Warning: The proceeding paragraph contains the opinion of an angry, tired and, at the moment, rather opinionated 16 year old that is mostly taking his anger out on the general population. You have been warned)

     

    I doubt life has meaning. I don't believe in an afterlife just like I don't believe in life as most people seem to perceive it. Humans aren't that special, we're composed of the same chemicals that make up our environment. Nothing about the human consciousness is indestructible, otherwise you wouldn't change your whole life. What if I were to completely forget my entire life up to the present, I manage to build a new life but never remember my old life. The old me in essence died, what happens to my soul? Does it split in two for both my lives? If so, then wouldn't it split with every change? Everything that happens to you changes you, so would you have millions of saved static copies of yourself each slightly different from the one next to it, like a stop motion video of your entire life? Even if there is some resolution to my previous problem, would you really want infinite life? More a curse than a blessing.

     

    Humans have become very accustomed to seeing themselves as special, "meaning" to life is just an extension of that.

  2. Today at school:

    (I speedwalk by some black people)

    Some chick I don't know: Boy, you better watch the fuck out.

    Me: U MAD?

    Black chick: No-

    Me: YOU MAD!

    (/me trollfaces)

    Black chick: Quit smiling at me like that ugl-

    Me: (Almost exactly like the TF2 Engineer) NOPE

     

    Today in World Geography:

    Teacher: Are the United States doing much about poverty?

    Me: NOPE

    Teacher: Can you stop shouting out the answers?

    Me: Nope, just Chuck Testa.

    Teacher: Who?

    Me: Eeyup.

    I think you're me from grade 7. :lol:
  3. Not allowed to play TF2 because the valve servers are busy? well shit, kick someone off who's been using it for 15 hours and let someone else have a go!

     

    ......And while they're at it: RELEASE HALF LIFE 3!!!!!!!

    They can't count that high yet. :/

    Valve fans that use the "Valve can't count to 3" joke must be under the impression that 4 comes before 3. e.g. Left 4 dead. 3, in fact, comes after 2 and before 4.
  4. @Axel

    No, I use Blender for my modeling work (and have since I was 13 ;) ).

     

    @Fluttershy

    Ah, I assumed you didn't mean an *actual* exploding bomb, because realistically that could only injure people, not heal them. Then again, there's a healing crossbow.

    I wouldn't call TF2 a game focused on realism. :P
  5. ABG knew full well... Even encouraged me : O
    When I said "You've got to take care of yourself. You can't go on like this." it was a reference you silly boy. Maybe a little obscure, but one of my favourite moments nonetheless. The occasional all-nighter isn't the end of the world if it means making the meetup. :D

     

    and after they all fall from lack of sleep we'll take over the world!

  6. The quote implies that when you're young you have heart but not brains, so socialism is appealing, but when you're older you have the brains but not the heart to see the flaws in socialism. I'm not anti-socialist but I thought the quote would apply to anarchism and communism.

    Communism doesn't work, Anarchism doesn't work and Laissez-Faire capitalism would end you up in essentially the same situation as communism. They sound like paradise, but paradise doesn't exist.

     

    This is basically where I call a huge objection and biased opinion.

    Of course it is. It's my opinion.
  7. My grandfather has a saying, "If you're young and not a socialist you have no heart, if you're old and socialist you have no brains". The same would seem to apply with communism as well. I'm quite young myself, but it always seems like the young are demonstrating for the systems that don't work. Communism doesn't work, Anarchism doesn't work and Laissez-Faire capitalism would end you up in essentially the same situation as communism. They sound like paradise, but paradise doesn't exist.

     

    I am not in favor of a system which ardently rejects Christianity.
    Don't confuse an economic system with a history of oppressive governments using that system. Relegion is not directly related to communism.
  8. Everybody is posting their loadouts so I guess I'll post mine:

     

    Spy:

    Stock Revolver (Haven't tested The Enforcer long enough to use regularly

    Stock Knife

    Dead Ringer/ Cloak and Dagger (depends on the map)

    You may as well use the enforcer when you use the dead ringer. It's just a 20% damage bonus. I guess not in competitive though, stupid bans...
  9. Wait, someone save me I'm starting to thinking like... like a brony. I'm not. I'm must resist! Gaahhhhhrrrhghrrr...

     

    Something wrong is with me.

    No-Darth_Vader.jpg

    No, you're just finally embracing the true power of the DARK SIDE OF THE PONY! :twisted:
  10. Fluttershy: The Reserve Shooter has recently been released for the Pyro (I was euphoric when I discovered this)... would you still recommend the Flare Gun?

     

    You're not talking to me, but I'll answer anyway.

    Flare gun is the best Pyro secondary, but Detonator works quite well too.

    The reserve shooter is best used by a character that can easily knock enemies into the air. Since the best (most overpowered) Pyro primary, the Backburner, makes airblast very expensive, I'd suggest not using the reserve shooter.

    The Backburner may be the best in normal matches, but certainly not competitive. Compression blast is the pyro's most effective weapon really.
