Then turn around and just stare at me. How do you react in this situation without looking really awkward and weird? My solution was to tell them to fuck off, which just made me seem like a jerk. Better than blushing and trying to ignore them which was the alternative. That's when you take a picture of them, and creepily tell them thanks. | ||

Firstly, Life was always really good and he had a gradual rise in skill to the top like a lot of high tier players have had (TaeJa being a really good example), so I don't see how some patch made him good. Unless someone can convince me that he is a bad player because he has such good mechanics and decision making, there is no way someone can justifiably use this term to describe him. Secondly, the word "patchzerg" is just dumb. It's like "sctoo" in a way, it is just a really non-thoughtful, non-constructive, and easy way to insult someone or something. In addition to that, the people who seriously use it enrage me to no end. It's almost like they can't think of actual constructive criticism for whoever they use the term against, who is probably a really good player, and instead choose to use a stupid term that makes themselves look idiotic. Oh right, they probably can't. Instead of mindlessly bashing them to no end, say "<insert zerg's name here> doesn't have as good <insert relevant trait of their play> as <their opponent> and I don't think they are as good of a player even if they lost." That looks much better than "Snute just put that patchzerg in his place" and has much more evidence needed to back it up, making your point more valid and thus warranting a equally thoughtful response. P.S. I am actually not a Life fan, shit like this just makes me fucking pissed sometimes | ||

I don't know what it is exactly about country but just hearing one song can throw my mood off. It may just be the damned southern draw... Yes, I can relate to this. For most of my life I never had much of a problem with country music, mostly because I practically never heard it. Then I spent a few years living in the South and now it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'm not sure anymore whether I hate the country music accent or the rap music accent worse, they are both so cliche and forced.

I was telling a friend just the other day, seeing stupid people in traffic is enough to turn a ghandi fascist.

If you are US citizen and politically engaged you should think twice before reading  Rant regarding the US election incoming.+ Show Spoiler + In the last weeks I got bombarded with infos regarding the US election. German media, who loves Obama was all over it. Every little detail was shoved down my throat. If you have a TV and like to watch news from time to time it was impossible to avoid. Additionally there is the internet. I was confronted with literally insane right wing drivel/opinions etc. on all kinds of boards/homepages all over the fucking net. Partially it was so insane that it made guys like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or other rightwing nutjobs look like communists. Gladly the US elected Obama. Not that he is no right wing hack. He just has another paintjob and is more softly spoken in comparison to "traditional" right wing nutjobs. His drone policy murders thousands of civilians in rural areas of a country which is not aggressive towards the US. The majority of the local population is illiterate and doesn't even know that 9/11 ever happened. Yet they get killed for it. Some time ago the US administration murdered a 16 year old US citizen in Yemen. His crime? His father was on a kill list. Then asked about it by journalists one of the administration's top dogs simply said: "Well, he shouldn't have been the son of a terrorist". Yeah you read that right. Kill minor citizens because of crimes done by their father. In Germany this was considered normal under Nazi rule and called "Sippenhaft". This is the new progressive in America. Think about that. Also closing Gitmo, hmmpfff forget it. The youngest prisoner in Guantanamo was 12 years old and had to endure 7 years of torture before he was cleared of all charges by a court in 2009. Of course the progresive US administration heavily protested. They would need more time to collect proof. Yeah, you only had seven years to destroy the kid's life, give him some more!. Obama is basically the same warmonger than his predecessor. Unlike Bush jr. he doesn't get ridculed and critisized heavily by the rest of the world. Is there any rational reason for that? I don't care if he fails to induce the promised change in topics regarding inner politics of the US, like drug laws in America etc.This is none of my business. But at the point where the US engages in other countries affairs, kills thousand of locals and screams "liberty" while doing so, the rest of the world should protest and make clear that this kind of actions should not be supported. What happens? This guy gets admired in the western world. People are fans of this ruthless warmonger. Why? May it be because we totally lost our moral compass, killing and going to war became normal again. We are blinded by soft and compromising speech, the actions behind that speech become totally unimportant. We are back to embracing our ignorance, proud to be blind. The best part about reading this was where you talked about Obama being right wing. In America, he is considered very liberal, and leftist. As for grinding my gears, people who use sensationalist statements, and/or make arguments with zero factual basis. I don't know how many of these I read. Repetitive misogynist mainstream music. Coming up with ten thousand ways to bang a girl and make a lot of money, IS NOT CREATIVE. Fortunately, too much of my generation is wrapped up in it for reasons I will never understand. | ||

As a rough guide, what's left wing in the US is right wing in the UK and what's left wing in the UK is right wing in Scandinavia. | ||

And somehow in America, it doesn't have how liberal or conservative you are, if your a politician, your probably a moron. There might be a few exceptions. But I struggle to find them. Maybe that's because my state's last governor is in jail right now... | ||
