What you know bout gender roles?
Holy shit, I sleep for one night and this thread gets filled with talk about gender roles and equality?
…I was going to type something noteworthy here, but everything I want to say have already been said and I’m not in debate mood.
Just be glad you don’t have to moderate all of that conversation. No actions have been taken, but I still had to read all of that just to make sure.
Heh, I did the same.
Ah, the labels of misogynist, how wonderful. I even said in my comment that we should completely abandon this way of life.
No doubt, gender roles still have their grasp in certain parts of society, I don’t say they don’t, and I am in full support of abandoning them, but to say that we’re completely patriarchal?
Btw: In my post about biology, yes, I know some societies are matriarchal, but I wasn’t referring to ancient Greece and the like, I was referring to this. No written language, based off of hunter gatherer, etc.
EDIT: I feel bad for the mods, lol.
I really hate Windows update. For some reason it thinks it’s ok to automatically reboot while I’m playing Dota 2. Seriously, isn’t a fullscreen application supposed to stop that from happening?
Consider yourself lucky, Windows Update could totally replace your Sound Card or Video Card driver with a bogus one and never let you put the other driver back. I’ve had to format due to windows update almost as much as due to spyware.
sighs I was talking about dumbasses last night. I found another!
This one was on my fucking facebook feed. It’s a boyfriend to a female friend I’ve had for a number of years (who happens to be the sister of a close friend of mine) - she and I aren’t that close, you can say acquaintances mostly. That’s the primary reason I’ve had her added for so long and ignored half the shit going on.
She’s made questionable choices, but that’s not what irked me. It was her idiot boyfriend - at least this time.
The last interaction I had with her specifically was less than pleasant. Let’s just say we had differences of opinion. In that circumstance I again held my tongue because I didn’t want to be disrespectful despite the fact she was being a disrespectful little shit saying: “I’m an adult I can do what I want,” and copping an attitude with me all at the same time. All I did was tell her to just PM someone about personal shit that’s really sensitive rather than posting it in public out of respect for the individual in question.
Anyway, what pissed me off: Her best friend making some case about him keeping her inside all the time or some bullshit like that. He remarked saying she’s still living with her parents and he’s out on his own, stating this “fact” arrogantly of course. He’s not in college nor is he self-employed, so I don’t see why that shit’s relevant.
TL;DR: What pissed me off is that he was making it out to be a smart move to move out, it actually isn’t. At least until you’re ready.
I don’t think people shouldn’t be free of their parental units. I DO think that stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to breed (this is one of those circumstances, but that’s irrelevant). If you’re gonna play it smart, start making money early on in life, and when you have enough saved up, move out. Then and ONLY then is it a smart move.
Anyway: Just needed to vent. I think I’m going outside for a while, that irritated me even if I wasn’t involved in the argument.
Source displacements are a pain in the ass. Textures stretch far too easily. Nuff said.
Isn’t that a fairly common shortcoming?
lol @ chickenprotector getting worked up over facebook and other people’s personal lives
^ Yep. lol Still can’t help it, it was how I was raised. Not to mention I have an irrational hatred of idiots.
You can work on that. Not thinking of anyone as “idiots” is an excellent first step.
yeah, your posts indicate a high sense of superiority, you should work on that
it’s not your life - don’t presume you know what’s best for someone else
Should, doesn’t mean I will. I agree with you though, it’s one of my short comings. There’s really nothing I can do to deal with it though. I was raised in a military-style family (which I’m still apart of). I can reign it in when I want to, though that’s a rare case. I get the superiority complex from my dad.
The main benefit to having a superiority complex is that you have a high self-esteem. It’s how I carry myself through life. It also means I could make a good leader if I chose to be. You need to remember: there’s some aspects of my personality that don’t shine through on the internet. Anyway, it may get the better of me sometimes, but generally, I’m a tolerable person to be around, at least imo. I have plenty of IRL friends that say I don’t piss them off as far as I’m aware.
The whole “mightier than thou” attitude got me in trouble more than once, but it rarely comes out unless someone’s being an ass… which is common in my interactions with some people that I tend to avoid like the plague.
It’d be more specific to say: I have an irrational hatred of assholes (whom I consider stupid and idiotic - there’s also those who can’t drive or run for shit: if you’ve been around the DC metro area, you’d know). I don’t mind handicapped people so long as they’re friendly and tolerable to be around.
I know. I don’t assume those things. It was something I stated that was in my interest as a person. I never asserted that “this is what you should do in this circumstance.” It may have sounded as such, but no. I never would.
