Doublenature

Im currently using an i-5 2500k and my computer is EXTREMELY fast. I could never use an AMD after Ive had this processor....

When it comes to graphics cards I have mixed opinions. But I usually just want everything to be ASUS, couldnt care less if its HD somethousand or gtx hundredsomething.

Too far, damnit...... Ill go rob a bank for the trip, brb.

League of legends går alltid lika jävla dåligt eftersom att man hamnar med någon jävla idiot som inte vet hur man spelar.

Im probably one of the biggest battlefield fanboys there ever was, but with bf3 I have lost hope.

1. DICE never fixes any glitches/bugs.

2. They nerf things that doesnt need to be nerfed.

3. EA is so damn hungry for money they make every attempt for me to pay extra

4. Everyone on the servers (even on hardcore) people complain non-stop about OP weapons etc.

Now I know that people wasnt whining in any other battlefield game, so I dont know what happened with the mature gamers. In bc2 people barely knew (barely know) that a chat exists. I mean, if you dont like grenade launchers, go play something else or go on a "No nade launcher server" it is really that simple.

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage. In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation. But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world – but war, war never changes. In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters, known as vaults. But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them – all except those in Vault 101. For on the fateful day, when fire rained from the sky, the giant steel door of Vault 101 slid closed… and never reopened. It was here you were born. It is here you will die. Because, in Vault 101: no one ever enters and no one ever leaves.

 

Well, that works.

Best monlogue ever spoken.

Everybody stereotypes everybody. In Spanish “be a Swede” or “Hacerse uno el sueco” is “Playing dumb” or “pretend not to have taken notice of things you actually know perfectly and decide to ignore anyway.”

 

We all are victims of stereotyping. For example, as I was preparing my last reply, I googled "typical swede," and found this, written by a Swedish blogger:

 

Ake Daun, a professor of ethnology at Stockholm University have written a book; Swedish mentality (1989) which is a gold mine for someone interesting in this issue. He has examined how the Swedes are perceived by other nationalities and come up with the following:

 

Swedes are perceived as chilly and distancing. Many of those who responded to the survey say that they have great difficulties to understand the Swedish temperament. The Swedes are also perceived as “socially closed” and “spiritually empty”. And because they are often quiet they are also perceived as smug!

 

In another study done by the Swedish National Board, immigrants from Chile, Iran, Turkey and Poland expressed laudatory words about equality, solidarity, freedom and sound regulatory. The only thing they had trouble with was just the Swedes! Their opinions about the Swedes was: “heart is missing” sluggish mind”, “cowardly, cold, shy people, and lack of close encounters”.

 

He also goes on to discuss "unwritten laws" for etiquette in Sweden (and really, I think such things should be printed up and published as guides for travelers), including:

 

The Swedes do not show their feelings in front of strangers if it can be avoided.

You should not be different or think that you are better than anyone else in any way.

Don’t look directly at another person in an elevator or on the subway.

Do not say “Hi” to a stranger.

Do not take a seat in a location next to a Swede on the bus, theatre or subway if there are seats available anywhere else.

Learn how to stand in line properly!

(Most of these have to do with the Swedes having a very large "personal space" as opposed to other nationalities.)

 

Someone else says that Swedes REALLY like to plan ahead - if you're having a party, it's rude not to let your friends know at least 2 weeks in advance.

 

Now, all this is NOT to say that Americans travelling abroad really give the best impression of our country. After all, most travelers abroad are "tourists," an epithet despised in every country, even our own. (Just listen to New Englanders talking about the Mid-Atlantic and Southern "Leafers" sometime.)*

 

*Leafers are people who travel up north in autumn to watch the leaves change color.

Atleast up here in the more northen parts (northwest) people can be really unpleasant.

An example: This winter I saw a guy that was stuck with his snowmobile. I drove up and asked if he needed any help, the response was a look of death and the words: "Do I look like I need fucking help?!". So what he wrote is true for northwest sweden (mostly anyway). If you go northeast people are just as friendly as ever.

Now this is how I see it, people from other countries may find all of us to look pissed off when we walk by. Most of us doesnt even say "Hi" to our neighbours. Alot of my teachers could very well be serial killers.

Listen doublenature, I know you listened to a couple Pink Floyd albums and think you're a bigshot on philosophy or whatever, but I must admit, i admire someone who has done absolutely no research into their argument subject whatsoever. I admit it, I'm American and it's true, I spend all day stuffing my face with cheeseburgers, wearing wife beaters, and if you asked me to pinpoint Europe to you on a globe i would laugh and respond "what the fuck is a yurop?" You have sure put it all into perspective. And it is true, Americans are mostly Christian who are crazy extremists and ignorant. You sure do know how America works!

What does Pink floyd have to do with anything ? I listen to the band becuase I love their music.

And did you read what I said about 2 posts back ?

Many american peoples ways seems ODD to me because we dont have the same kind of culture here in Sweden. Americans and Swedes are two different people even though it doesnt LOOK like it. I took back my statement about americans being ignorant because it obviously wasnt true (I can actually admit a mistake).

Now this has shown me that the way Americans are portrayed here in Sweden is incredibly dumb and ignorant. Therefore I will not make a statement like this again without facts.

The actual song was called: "I'm so happy because I am finally returning home" It was about him being glad returning to Russia. He wasnt allowed to sing the text (for some reason) so instead it just was: "Trololo"

You know what? Im not stupid enough to keep at something I have been corrected at, MOST of americas citizens are not stupid and ignorant. But many americans ways seems weird to me. I will indeed talk about the government instead since that would be more accurate. Im sorry if I offended any of you.

Let's apply Doublenature's logic to Swedes, and see how he likes it.

 

Several hundred Swedish soldiers volunteered to fight on the German side during WW II. Some worked as guards at Treblinka, the concentration camp where 900,000 Jews were murdered.

 

Therefore, according to Doublenature, I know all I need to know about Swedes from the impression these Swedish visitors to mainland Europe made.

 

Now, do you see how galactically stupid your argument is?

 

Also, I find you guilty of violating the Jante Law, and I fine you 5 krona.

Yeah, sweden was indeed on the german side during ww II, Im not even gonna argue about that. We werent neutral, we were fighting for nazi germany. Cowards who choose side depending on who was winning.

Who invaded Irak and Afganistan recently?

You can have 50 öre, the krona is mine!

A true legend. May he rest in peace...

How about we start with this whole Obama thing?

"Oh, look, here's one person in America that's a ignorant moron. It surely must mean that every single other person in the country is also an ignorant moron."

I said "Lets start with...."

Ive met/talked to alot of people from the US, some of them are nice, most are not. This probably has to do with europeans being so different from americans. I consider their values and ways are ignorant and stupid. Most americans are christians, I dont believe in shit. Therefore from my point of viev most americans seem uneducated and ignorant.

I would honestly say that the average people of USA are uneducated and ignorant.

 

Then you're just as uneducated and ignorant as the people you're insulting. Please, give me some citations for this "fact".

How about we start with this whole Obama thing?

I will say that you are VERY wrong when you say that "most" Americans don't know what Europe is, Doublenature. Sure, maybe a few idiots here and there don't but "most"? Seriously?

I would honestly say that the average people of USA are uneducated and ignorant.

your president

 

lel

 

and you should learn propper history.

 

Sorry for being able to use deduction and not being a sensationalist moron.

 

Sadly, most americans doesnt even know what Europe actually is.

 

And most Europeans don't know the difference between America and the USA. Oh wow, look at me generalize.

America = USA, middle and south america.

USA = United states of America.

I want to say your president is a moron and you should learn propper history.

Sadly, most americans doesnt even know what Europe actually is.

Finally! Someone makes a solid ww1 game! Why doesnt more developers get in on the ww1 front? There is barely any games thats about ww1. I will be keeping an eye on this one, thanks for sharing it!

 

Because sitting in a trench for days before charging at enemy gunfire and dying doesn't lend itself well to games.

You would sit in a trench for DAYS in a game, sure.

As an online game its a great concept.

What did he say now ? What did I miss ?

Last time I played a real old-school shooter was when I played tribes 2. And that wasnt yesterday..

Why not? It's worth playing yesterday!

True. I have lost my tribes and tribes 2, the only one I have (on CD) is vengeance. Should I get a hold of tribes 2 I would play it for days!

My favorites are the ones where he just flips out and goes: "Akakakfjeigaehawafsasaa!!!" He always pulls it off so good.

2 1/2 week left of the fucking hellhole, then I will NEVER have to spend another second in that place. 90 % of the teacher can just burn in hell. They are filthy cowards who cant take anything in their own damn hands. They are stinking fucking liars. I hope they all die in pain.
