Resolve the general “Bag o’ Hate” that has been going around in Off Topic for these last couple of months.
I thought my Diversity thread was a waste but it gained 159 replies.
That doesn’t prove it wasn’t a waste.
I guess it didn’t resolve anything.

So how many people here have had relatives die because of mattress? 1? 2? 3? More?
Those people must know by now how DANGEROUS mattresses are. No, the biggest problem for our future isn’t global warming, or terrorism. No. It’s none of that. It’s MATTRESSES.
Now why are they so dangerous? It’s something that the mattress company will NEVER tell you. The mattress companies are realizing TOXIC CHEMICALS into your lungs every day you sleep. How do I know this? Here:
I don’t think that movies should be judged on any sort of ‘world building’ quality: They should be judged by the actual movie, context be damned.
Yeah but you’re missing the point. ESB out of context is nothing without the context of SW. So if you base it just on that movie itself it isn’t quite as great as SW by itself with its world building.
That’s not how I rate movies.
I kinda liked it.
Quite reasonable, sir. Quite reasonable.
Would you rather forget everything that happened more than 24 hours ago but otherwise live your dream life, or have a normal memory but experience suffering often in your life? You’d retain all the memories you have up to this point, either way, but if you chose to have a short memory, you’d forget anything that happened from hereon.
The latter.
And, besides, what use is there to be gained from remembering your dreams in detail other than entertainment?
Inspiration.
Inspiration for what?
Art.
Oh, and to pre-emptively cover the inevitable “What kind of art?” question:
- Paintings
- Drawings
- Etchings
- Engravings
- Sculpture
- Prose
- Poetry
- Filmmaking
- Music
And many, many, many more possibilities that don’t even come to mind as of this moment.
Reasonable.
Ditto.
In a lot of situations, but not all, I would take life instead of death.
But that could still happen today. A bus could hit your whole family—you never know.
Would you rather physically age slower but live half as long as you would normally or physically age faster but live twice as long?
I’ll go with the latter.
Related: Would you rather die right now, or live forever, but completely isolated from anyone, living off the land?

Would you rather watch The Room or The Phantom Menace?
Five minutes away from the RNC.
- In the first one, you cut too much between the two songs, creating an unnatural effect. When it sounded to me that you were playing the two songs at once, the rhymes of the two songs just didn’t match up. I might give this one a 4/10.
Well, that was kind of deliberate. I wanted to make a straightforward mashup of the two songs, but I wasn’t able to get a hold of any acapella versions of either (and you need acapellas if you want to make a proper mashup). So, incredibly frustrated, I made this hackjob, knowing it would sound horrible, eliciting the same emotions I felt at the time.
Semi-reasonable. Is this the same reason people make scream music?
But, seriously, having a justification doesn’t make anything better. It gives context, yes, but it doesn’t change my opinion. I still think that it’s not that great.
- Album art: Looks like it was done in Microsoft Paint. Please scrap it. 3/10.
LOL. Again, that was deliberate.
See above statement.
Ah. That’s all EU stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever read an EU novel, so that explains my answer.
Flatlined?
I am not:
I will persistently deny these false facts.
I think what we are experiencing here is a mastermind trolling tolls who falsely think they are trolling him.
Trolling tolls? Those people at toll booths work very hard, it’s not wise to troll them. 😉
A lightsaber is the sword of the Star Wars universe. So, a Sith Sword is basically just a Sith lightsaber.
I’ve made several posts about it before, so just go back and read those.
You just made a non answer. I just checked all your posts in the first five pages of this thread and have not found what I’m looking for. So, I ask again: Why do you think that all anime has systemic problems inherit in the medium that make universally all of it objectively bad?
I’ve I don’t know if they were all in this thread, but I have definitely addressed it before.
I do not recall. I grow tired of this, so please answer the question I proposed in my post.
