ThePest179

You created a fate worse than death. I'd constantly kill myself to end the cycle, only to be reincarnated each time, never able to truly die. It would be a living hell for which I can find no easy equal.

If you had all the powers of Superman?

A what?

Arguing with a 9/11 truther, or an denier of Obama's citizenship?

That was a legitimate question. Gender is 100% mental. Only sex is physical.

Ah. Sex then.

If I actually made it to that point and built the island with very lax laws about anything that didn't violate privacy in the home, or cause personal harm/death, if I made the offer to you for free immigration?

Politely refuse.

If you were stuck on an island with cannibals?

Worrying news.

Fuck. Let's hope this doesn't last.

Very true, and they have the backing of most christian religions as well, (including the Catholic church's ~1 billion members) which makes it impossible for any cut off to be complete enough to make a dent.

Just going to say here, not even close to all Christians would go help Israel even if they wanted to (I doubt that there would be more than 5% that would do it, and that was a generous number).

If you want, I'll go into detail.

You laugh now, but wait until I roll up in a tank threatening you with some unwinnable scenarios if you don't be nice to people. (I would do that too, just to make people go "WTF?")

The mere thought of you getting that far amuses me.

If all forms of electronics disappeared, and you were the only one to remember their existence?

Cry.

If you were the opposite gender?

Cola.

Scrambled eggs, or fried?

Banned for making me feel inadequate.

Personally I think the US should stop being their attack dog for absolutely everything that gives funny looks and just leave them for the wolves. They have it coming.

Israel is not the kind of country that gets "left to the wolves", having a military on par with US armed forces, having a nuclear stockpile, and being more secure and stable than any of its neighbors. Even if the US cut the flow of material to Israel, it would remain for a long time.

So let me get this straight:

 

In Half Life, no soldier should be able to die if they are shot in the armor, ever? Even when using US manufactured assault weapons* and .50 cal guns?

 

*Said weapons being ARs, MP5's, Shotguns, and others?

 

That is NOT what I fucking said, and if you're so STUPID you can't UNDERSTAND what I have ALREADY EXPLAINED AT LENGTH MULTIPLE TIMES, then I am NOT going to bother explaining it again.

I was barely skimming the damn thing, I DIDN'T FUCKIN KNOW!

Alright, alright, I'll go look at it when I have time. I can't right now.

Invulnerability.

Black Mesa, or the original Half Life?

Be one of the main leaders in the area, and definitely have a peaceful coalition of dictators that treat people well.

If the entire color palette inverted everywhere? (everyone's perception of colors had the color inverted)

Look at the pretty colors?

If you had a nuclear submarine that could not be caught? With warheads?

Banned for not keeping track of it for me.

Thing is, normally my coordination is pretty lousy in the normal case, tripping over my own feet and losing my balance and sometimes knocking down store displays and the like. So add the "waking up" on top of that....

You're lucky... Your brain actually lets you get to the point where you need to wake up to gain control of limbs.

 

My sleep cycle: Lay in bed getting my REM sleep before unconsciousness, (commonly referred to as 'daydreaming' except it's not during the day, and it actually fulfills the REM requirements of my body) then sleeping in stage 1/2 for 5-6 hours before dropping into semi-consciousness as I wake.

 

Once every few weeks/months I actually drop into deep sleep, but rarely more than twice per month. (I had 3 nights in a row with good sleep when I was 16, and that was the last time)

You guys have it horrible. I can barely function with 8+ hours of sleep, I always feel tired. It fucking sucks.

On to the real rant:

I fucking hate right now how Turkey is just letting the Kurds die right in front of them. It's one of the most sickening scenes I've ever seen. Fuckers. Why the US doesn't do heavier airstrikes and airdrops simply baffles me. It's like the world doesn't fucking care because it isn't their problem. Rwanda anyone? It pisses me off. Like watching a murder and rape and doing nothing.

Banned for not keeping my attention.

Yes.

Homeless or jobless?

Banned for losing my attention.

Gaming.

Being a pirate on land or water?

Things went totally FUBAR.

 

Regards

You got that right.

Kobani has almost definitely fallen. Kurdish protesters are causing civil unrest in Turkey in a desperate attempt to get the world to do anything.

EDIT: http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/07/world/meast/isis-airstrikes/index.html

Thank God that Kobani hasn't fallen yet. It's a miracle.

Political will makes no difference to what NEEDS to be done. I have seen the projections, and there is a 0% chance that ISIS will stop after the middle-east.

That's why I said it would be ideal, just not practical. There is a theme among people I talk to who interpret me laying out the cost as writing off the necessity, which id not the case.

Ramadi's on the brink, if not outright dead at this point.

I'm sure you know why the proportion of HK's GDP in mainland PRC is falling, as we see in the chart.

China is growing faster! It has been undergoing an industrial revolution, thus overtaking Japan as 2nd largest economy.

And HK wants desperately to be the economic center again. They don't want to get left behind.

I feel so fucking stupid for propagating some of the shit I did back in the past. It's almost like I was a different person back then. It verged on murderous, frequently derailed threads, and simply made little to no sense. If anyone wants to know what it was, don't. It was dumbassery at its absolute worst.

 

Not really. I would mourn my loss and get over it. You need to make sacrifices in war.

Past me is a cold, brutal, and idiotic sociopath. I wonder what's new.

This is coming after Kim Jr. was reported as suffering from health issues and cancelled all public appearances. Might have been a coup.

I hope that this will lead to reunification.
