Rant of the Day

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I secretly hope I'm on DDT's Man list, and not the child list.

[Orgazmo]

I would subscribe to a thread where DDT rates each Nubblite on a Boy to Man scale.

You posted on the grounds of you trying to "straighten up" -- "a group of men that I loved and respect" --- who are not fitting up to your expectations, like you're some kind of disappointed father or something. That's unfair in itself, as it pushes your subjective view of "shoulds" on a topic that has tons of variables involved that you don't seem to be considering. But at a more basic level, it's more than that.

I think you should post about what thread you're in. This is Rants thread. It's where Nubblites go to bitch about menial shit that pisses them off in their lives whether they're right or wrong. It's about personal grievances; a place on the internet where people can bitch about shit just because they need to get something off their chest. So where do you get off on going all Captain Responsibility on a guy who was just trying to vent about his shitty day and the apartment complex that he hates, even if he did fuck up? Which brings me to my second point...

You've fucked up in this thread too. Probably lots of times, but I'm not going to read every page. I'm sure if I go back I've bitched about tons of dumb shit too that I don't remember, because that's what this thread is for. Bitching about little shit that doesn't really matter, and then forgetting about it. I merely have to go back three pages in this thread to find this from you, last year:

Basically, you fucked up by not checking the email address that you put on your resume, expecting a phonecall. After this, there is a back and forth where people are asking you the exact same kind of accusatory shit that you are doing to DH right now. And you go on to defend your point, even though you fucked up, which is exactly what DH has been doing, and is probably what most of us would do in a situation where we fucked up and guys are sort of being assholes to us about it. Except that now, 8 or 9 months later, you're pretending like you've never made a stupid mistake in your entire life, and acting like you're some manly grown up, even though DH is younger than you by a few years and probably very little has changed in your life at all.

I seem to remember you posted something else work-related that you messed up on that caused you to miss an opportunity, but I can't remember and am not going to look it up, because my point has been made. Everybody fucks up. Maybe you should have a little compassion instead of forcing your ramblings that basically state how everyone should be more like you in life.

You know what's really manly, or what you'd really do if you "loved and respected" Nubblites as you claim? Sympathizing with a fellow Nubblite over some shit that ruined his day, and perhaps commiserating with him with a related story -- or have you never been late for rent in your entire life? Have you always paid all of your bills on time? Seriously man, why do you expect that just because you have a stable job, a house, and a wife -- that everybody else is or should be on the same timeline as you? That is an extremely dangerous line of thinking to go down IMO and I'd prefer not to see where it goes.

He fucked up on a bill and was bitching about it. Again, that's what the thread is for. Misty stated, "$20 bucks says you never forget to pay your rent on time again," and he's probably right. But if we're going to attack everyone who bitches about something in life that is their fault, or a wrong perspective on life, or a racist attitude, or a stupid-ass drunk/high/angry rant, we might as well delete this thread, if not the whole god-damned board. FFS.

tl;dr - Tempest is attempting to be high and mighty and some sort of manly grown up to DH, when he did the exact same thing in this thread last year -- fucked up by missing two emails for an job interview, and ranted about it in the Rants thread. Basically rendering his entire rant on the previous page meaningless. The Rants thread exists for stupid rants; singling out a member as irresponsible goes against the spirit of the thread.

Why isn't Blonde capable of reducing his rabble to a quarter of this length?

[Mr. Blonde]

I am incapable, but I'm willing to work with you. How about a tl;dr?

I'd love to, but you would probably complain about how rough my lips were or how long it took you to get off.

Blonde negreps me with the comment, "you're a teacher, you should respect reading."

Blonde, I'm not whining about the negrep, because I think you have no idea what good writing is. I'm bringing out a point that you need to hear.

As an educator, I teach kids how to reduce endless rhetoric into concise points, able to easily be read, with strong comprehension in a short period of time. Being that you are a guy who wanted a tl;dr for the incredible story about Manti Te'o, I'd suggest you look into how self-centered you are to think that your insanely long run of going-nowhere-anytime-in-the-next-400-words posts are worthy of anybody's time, when you won't read great articles written by reporters who are finally doing what a reporter should be doing.

Hopefully, but very unlikely, your new college professors can teach you how to get your point across in a quarter of the words.

This part is the most special, but I'm going to keep the whole post so I can be 100% sure I can always come back here to read this when I need some good wank material.

I enjoyed Blonde's unnecessarily lengthy diatribe. I haven't written a post that long in five years.

[Ugly Bastard]

Guys, I double posted.

I didn't watch the Oscars and I'm glad. I don't know who Jennifer Lawrance is. I mean, I know who she is, but I'm not familiar with her work or why she is famous. She's hot and I'd prob sell my soul to the devil to sleep with her, but I don't care about her acting.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

When THE FUCK is Morgan freedman going to die already? Is there a movie he is not in? There has got to some more competition in the wise, uppity, magical negro industry because its a damned monopoly right now.

[Orgazmo]

He's not in most movies.

[Saint DH]

Never mind everything I just said.

I just realized how I got this cold.

I got my hair cut on Monday. The bitch who was cutting my hair coughed on me at least three times. I couldn't believe it. Even worse is that I actually tipped her...Jesus Christ wtf is wrong with me.

[Saint DH]

So that guy who kidnapped those Cleveland girls and somehow managed to hold them for over ten years got life without parole plus 1000 years.

Back here in Indiana, one of the two pieces of shit who murdered a 7 year old girl and her uncle is taking a plea for 110 years.

I understand that that's basically life, but it's not at the same time. Why isn't he getting life without the possibility of parole? Moreover, why the fuck isn't this piece of shit being put down? The Indianapolis prosecutor is such a fucking pussy piece of shit. I hope he dies.

Better keep prosecuting those harmless marijuana dealers instead you cocksucking mother fucker.

Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Predators keep animal populations in check

Muh carrying capacity

[Saint DH]

Dent, predators help keep animal populations in check. This is an ecological fact, you nitwit.

If you take away all the predators of a given animal, assuming everything else remains constant, food supply, mates, niche, etc, that species will increase in population. If not controlled, that species will exceed the ecosystem's carry capacity and members of that species will starve to death.

A lot of people have this view, after all it has been the only game in town since the Cambrian explosion, i'm glad that it's nonsense. Allowing the animals to starve to death as in your scenario is no good, thankfully we're here to sort it out.
Wildlife contraceptive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shocking fact of the day : the total mass of cows(domestic animal/forever slave to human) is ten times greater than the total mass of all other wild mammals combined

The reason why (if anyone is left... probably) people in the future will regard us as morally inferior/barbaric :
“What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

We can't even get the fucking dot heads in India to use contraceptives, what makes you think it'll work with animals slightly less intelligent?

[Dent]

I don't get the comment, Indians do use contraceptives, the wrong type for the wrong reasons unfortunately Sex-selective abortion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Controlling the land population is a doddle, Oceans will be a bigger problem, but we should have it licked before long.
By the middle/latter end of this century there won't be a square inch of the planet that we aren't constantly monitoring.

Edit : "what makes you think it'll work with animals slightly less intelligent?"
They are, compared to us, dumb.
