Has it happened to you yet, /co/?
Only for new social media stuff like Snapchat and Vines.
Everyone my age uses them constantly and I just cannot see the appeal.
>>82668364
Yes, back when we started having all those daily Homestuck threads
>>82668364
yes
for almost everything (vidja, music, internet, political views)
if it didn't happened to you then you're too young to browse this website
>>82668364
>Has it happened to you yet, /co/?
What?
>>82668364
No its the young people who are wrong
>>82668364
nope. not yet
>>82668364
Yes, a long time ago. And you know what? It's fine. Sure, some guys are a pain in the ass, but i was the same shit so...
Just leave me with my comics, i'll be fine.
It's already happened to me years ago.
I have no idea what half of you fuckers are even talking about
Every time I flip on cartoon network
>>82668364
Back when Facebook became big. I couldn't understand the use of it even when it was still restricted to college emails, but the fact that it's become a ubiquitous fact of life just fucking baffles me.
>>82668364
A lot of people are going to say it has, but it really hasn't.
It really, really hasn't.
>>82668607
>>82668364
Yes.
I play old video games and watch old cartoons.
I don't give a fuck about the next big CoD nor do I care about what's on Cartoon Network right now.
I love listening to my friends get bootyblasted over whatever online shooter they're playing while I play something 15+ years old and actually enjoy myself.
>>82668364
>tfw too autistic to ever be with anything

>>82668418
Vines are just short videos
Like 10-second youtube videos that are on repeat
They can be cute https://vine.co/v/iaamWYQ1qI3
Or funny https://vine.co/v/iMjzJ76vwvL
Or just another platform for meme videos https://vine.co/v/igrjQ52XQut
Of course I'm 18, so I'm used to this sort of humor by now
>>82670111
so what the fuck is snapchaty then?
No, not really. I was never with it and I never cared about being with it. I enjoy what I enjoy and I dislike what I dislike, everything else is irrelevant to me.
>>82670183
chat with pics
>take a picture and put a caption on it
Yes. Last time I went to the cinema I almost got into a fight with someone who refused to stop using their phone and it made me realize I'm oficially too old for everything.
>>82670183
I just googled it.
Is this one of those things that requires you to be pretty and vain and love taking pictures of yourself?
Because that's why I've never used facebook either.
>>82670255
>>82670183
Can't you just do this regularly though? Like take a picture with your phone and then send it to someone in a text? What does this do that's different?
>>82670329
you can only view a picture once
then they get deleted
>>82668364
I'm slowly starting to lose interest in vidya and sports and focusing more of my time on my investment portfolio, finances, and lifting. I hope I don't ever lose interest in comics.
>>82670363
for what purpose?
>>82668364
Yep. First "Let's Plays", which still don't make any sense to me. Who would watch some one else play vidya instead of playing it themselves?
And now the rise of SJWism. As some one else put it, "Since when did it become cool for kids to be for censorship instead of free expression"?
Yep (The Bravest Warriors ep Dan before time)
>>82670399
nudes, drugs, young people things.
>>82670399
don't know maybe nudes
so females think you can only view them once
despite being able to screenshot the chat
its a gimmick chat
>>82669934
this kind of selfcenter attitude means it hasn't happened to you yet
>>82670399
So people can pretend that the pictures they take will just disappear, even though anyone can screencap it.
>>82670111
Vine is just YTMND and I think it's great the format returned
>>82669934
You're not there yet, you're still going through that damn phase that makes l'enfant du jour all go all "I hate my generation".
for certain.
>>82670427
I understand Let's Plays. Videogames are expensive and time consuming, Let's Plays are THE videogame preview. Also it's like watching people play soccer or tennis or fight or travel or cook on the tele. We watch it because they can do it better than us.
>>82670255
>>82670276
>>82670329
Not sure how NuTeens do it, but basically it sends faster than just sending a pic
It has location services so you can shitpost using "geotags" where it has little designs for holidays and streets
You can take nudes and send em, and if they DO screenshot it you get a message saying "Your pic was screenshotted"
You can also send short videos, like 5-second videos at parties and stuff
You can add them to a "story" where your friends can see it for up to 24 hours
As far as I can tell, "it" has happened to you guys, it's just a chat thing that you guys don't get
>>82668364
I thought I was there circa 2012. But something happened 2014-2015 that made me expand my horizon and say, hey, there's still quality on this Earth, and the envelope of quality is being pushed with the advent of time. Some main stream things can be good and beneath that, some lesser main stream, but new content is also good. I'm happy to be alive.
Actually I was like that around 14 and got angsty about not liking most of popular culture. Growing up made me a lot more relaxed about my tastes and if anything I'm open to new stuff more than ever.
>>82668364
With Star Wars since TFA.
>>82670987
>advent
What am I a faggot? Meant "march".
I used to be "the tech guy" in my circle.
then facebook and ipads and social medias and smart everythings happened during my late 20's.
I'm still using a desktop PC, friends don't ask me to fix things or even look at problems anymore because I dunno how to work an ipad or a smartphone any better than they can.
So yeah, it happened to me pretty hard.
>>82671043
Same thing, but with Star Trek - particularly the slash aspect of it. What the fuck is wrong with the new fujoshits? The new actors have no chemistry, the new iterations of the characters have even less, calling Kirk/Spock "Spirk" or "space husbands" when star trek literally invented the use of "/" for pairing... fuck them all.
>>82670987
Same here. There's no point worrying about it, and considering every generation resents the next it's a moot point whether culture has actually become worse.
The internet has had a colossal impact, and facilitates a lot of crap. But am I going to be a miserable cunt who's angry about it or am I going to take advantage of the opportunities it brings?
Like comics for one thing, it's never been easier to find and read them thanks to the internet. I'm reading all the highly recommended stuff I can find and it's a joy. I could complain about the industry all day, but I have the luxury of being a consumer so I can choose to only read the good stuff.
Yep. I feel like the world has changed irrevocably, but I haven't changed with it.
>>82671043
That hurt the most
>>82668364
Happened to me around 2008, when I noticed the Internet started rapidly going downhill.
>>82671255
Pretty much this. Also I work with kids so that helps keep me in the loop somewhatI still have no idea what the fuck dabbing is all about
The Sanders nonsense is making me feel like thisand I’m 20.
>>82671043
Wasn't as good as it could have been, but I'll take it over the prequels any day.
>>82670925
It's hardly a preview when you're spending hours watching someone else play the entire game. There's millions of movies and TV shows you could watch in that time.
Admittedly, I don't like watch sports on TV either.
>>82670962
>You can take nudes and send em, and if they DO screenshot it you get a message saying "Your pic was screenshotted"
You can take a picture of the screen with another phone or camera.

Well, me, I watch about half hour in or half an hour of edited footage, and if I like what I see I go in for it. Found some real gems on Steam off Pewdiepie's channel, as embarrassing as it might be for a 26-year-old to admit. I also ended up buying some really neat ps3 games thanks to the Best Friends Zaibatsu.
>>82669934
This is me except occasionally I enjoy new things but after the hype had died down.
Feels good.
>>82671522
I'm 25, and I already feel like an old fart. Technology feels like it's progressing way too quickly, and call me grandpa if you want, but I really feel like it's affecting kids' development negatively.
>>82671594
So what games, out of curiosity?
>>82668364
I will never understand why people think memes are cool
>>82671830
Well there was this one 3-5 hour horror game called Stray Cat Crossing, as well as this Red Riding Hood type game called The Path, and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, and Shadow Warrior, which recently went on Steam sale.
PS3 I was made aware of games such as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle and this anime cheesecake game about setting traps in Castle called Deception IV: Blood Ties.
>>82672045
What I really don't get is this horrible ironic attitude people have about memes. Is it seriously supposed to be clever or funny? I don't get it.
>>82672077
And you found those games through LPs? Do you live under a rock? They were EVERYWHERE when they came out.
>>82670880
>l'enfant du jour

>>82672045

The support for Sanders is pretty obvious, especially if you're old enough to remember the Clinton administration, or the last wave of Political Correctness.
>>82672077
It's funny you mention the Path, one of my video game programmer friends recommended it recently.
> I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
Good stuff
>Shadow Warrior
Played the new Xbone version yesterday, had an intense 90s flashback to playing the first game as a kid.
I'm surprised there's no SJW outrage over the series, given how it revels in certain over-the-top ethnic stereotypes.
Happened around 2007/2008 when Facebook was becoming big, ipads,iphones,smart phones, etc.The Big Bang Theory was starting to gain traction and the MCU was kicking off. I just didn't see what was so great about them
>>82668364
Not really.
I understand "it" and know what it takes to be a part of "it" but I willingly don't because I don't like "it".
>>82672045

You could eliminate the f35 program, downsize the military by 100 percent, tax all former members of the military 100 percent, and you still wouldn't have enough to pay for Bernie's promises.

The more mainstream ones I mentioned were to illustrate the idea of "waiting for LPs to form a better opinion before purchase". I know the phrasing of the post makes it sound otherwise but that's what I was gunning for when I raised those examples.

But then, I think you have to actually be "with it" before you're not, and I don't think I ever was.

How does one be "with it"?
Yes. I had to look up something a younger coworker texted me on urban dictionary the other day just to respond.
>>82672405
Be connected with the media and with pop culture all the time, hang out with people who are "with it".
>>82670276

>>82672510
Thank goodness for that, I'm Asian, and I found the game HILARIOUS.
So hilarious that I bought it.
Are young people frightened of this SJW bullshit and don't want to actually speak out in case of being ostracized and not part of the herd or do they actually care about it? I really hope it's a passing fad.
>>82672510
Go to bed Pierre Sprey, you've got a busy day of jacking off to pictures of A10s tomorrow.
>>82672621
That can change. I thought pop music went downhill in the late 90s, and stayed shit until the late 00s. It's not great now, but it's noticeably better than it was 10 years back when it was all Britney Spears and the like all the time.
I haven't been with it since middle school and even that's arguable.
>>82672662
SJWism, like all facist movements, works by scaring and shaming all who dissent into silence.
It's especially powerful among teenagers, who are already the most susceptible to peer pressure.
>>82668364
Yep.
I remember when there were only three tv networks. I remember when Rob Liefeld somehow got on a Levis jeans commercial because he was the "creative genius" behind X-Force. I remember comics before Jim Lee's glamour poses and the Gen-13 lesbian teen effect. I remember when Superboy Prime was a nice kid and being able to use a computer was considered a superpower.

I decided to give up Facebook a few years ago because I thought it was "toxic" for me, for the lack of a better word
I do have friends, I do hang out with them every week, but when I used to browse FB I wound constantly see this or this other group of people I knew engaging in activities and stuff I would've loved to be part of... it was worse during the summers because I always ended up staring at all these people having fun together while I was stuck with my family (I have young brothers so I kinda have to stay with them when on vacation to help my parents out)
And that's not even mentioning the "stalking" of my love interests' profiles, getting jealous and shit everytime I saw them intimate with other guys, or all the bait posts to get attention in whatever shape
Looking back all that stuff was just pathetic, I can't understand the appeal, like you said. It all feels like social warfare: people always informing others about what they do, people leaving passive-aggressive comments, people "spying" on the others' profiles so they talk shit irl, couples constantly deleting and remaking accounts because one of the partners is jealous about their lover's privacy...
Shit's whacky

I don't think it really "happens", it's such a slow process. Definitely with things like social media and popular music I was never even in in the first place, but in others things I might be "in" until my 40s or later.
>>82673584

Why do people watch sports instead of playing it themselves?
I understand that's not an exact comparison, but the general gist of it is similar. People watch LPs because they either want to get an idea of the game before they buy it (look at the number of views on the first video of an LP compared to the following ones), cannot afford the game for various reasons (shitty computer, can't afford additional consoles, doesn't want to waste $60 in addition to precious free time, etc.), like the personality of the person doing the LP (Youtube personalities such as Yogscast, PewDiePie, etc.), or if the LP is more of a walkthrough filled with information the person didn't know about before (Chuggaaconroy and the Something Awful LPs are what come to mind).
There's also the whole "living vicariously" aspect of it, which is why people tend to get real pissy if the LPer doesn't play the game "correctly", especially if the game is heavily based on story or first impressions. To use a recent example, a game like Undertale can only really be experienced one time, and people want to experience the same joy of discovery through other people blind LPing.
>>82673801
You're way lamer and much more narcissistic than any of them. You're also not as smart as you think you are.

>>82673985
I'm sure that's one of the reasons, but the same can be said of Let's Plays to a much more limited extent.
Honestly, if it wasn't for 4chan I'd be totally out of the loop.
>>82673964
>Why do people watch sports instead of playing it themselves?
Because almost no one can play at that level that they are. Also the meta surrounding it is intriguing.
>>82673964
People watch sports instead of playing them because they require some amount of physicality in which they may be lacking. Playing video games is one of the laziest pastimes, and ultimately only requires hands and eyes. If you have both and are in functional order, and want to play video games, you should be playing video games. Not watching Let's Plays.
>>82668364
No, because I was never with it to begin with. In fact I'd say I'm more aware of pop-culture and trends than when I was a teenager."Aware of" does not mean, "a part of"
>>82673964
>Why do people watch sports instead of playing it themselves?
The meta. The meta and competition behind professional sports is more interesting than the game itself.
>>82670427
>>82673964
An anon once put it this way:
(Live)Streaming and torrents and online everything have eroded the social aspects of playing video games and watching TV. Recall that old image of the family or a group of friends gathering around the TV to watch a movie or play Smash Bros. That doesn't really happen anymore, especially not in the current economy, where most people work 70 hours a day and live hand-to-mouth.
Let's Plays and Let's Watch are that return to enjoying a series or video game together with other people for the first time. Other people LIVE - hence why some LPs even mention "blind" sometimes.

No, because I was never "with it" in the first place. Which suggests one of two things:
Either I was never "with it", nor will I ever be "with it", and thus will never lose "it", or I'll be "with it" at some point later in my life.

>but when I used to browse FB I wound constantly see this or this other group of people I knew engaging in activities and stuff I would've loved to be part of...
Jesus Christ this.
When I see people I like doing things together but not being invited. Even worse when they are your "friends".
When you see people doing things you'd love to do but cannot do either for time or economic reasons.
Or even worse, when you see people you utterly abhor doing well, having fun, or doing the things you'd like to do but cannot as I already mentioned.
It's the damn fucking worst. I become so full of envy, jealousy and bitterness I'd be able to fuel entire societies with my feelings.
Yeah. The trannies are what did it. I can escape from SJWs by not using Tumblr, but trannies are fucking everywhere.

>>82675242
i think one of the things about snapchat is that your posts automatically delete, so part of the appeal is not getting humiliated two weeks from now because of something you posted when you weren't thinking, besides that I don't know what the appeal is either.
>>82675407

seriously though there are extremes like "YOUTUBE IS CORRUPTIND CHILDREN WITH THAER NYAN DOGS" and then there "huh snapchat is kind of teaching kids to be careless" you are the are not the former.
>>82670399
Literally my exact train of thought anon. When I'm out with friends who use it, they will spend like 2 minutes each time they use it trying to get the perfect shot of whatever moment they're trying to encapsulate. It seems utterly pointless to me; spend 120 seconds to shoot off 1 second of an evening that is then gone.
I'm officially not with it because I don't buy into this social media tangent where our entire generation invests all their energy into crafting a digital portrait of their life that in actuality is a completely false narrative taken from choice moments they throw up to compete in the "whose life is better" arena on Facebook/Instagram/Byteme/Dicksnap/whatever instead of, you know, actually investing that time into enjoying life.
>>82668364
Pretty much. I feel this more with social media sites, though. Especially Facebook.
Whenever I look at that site, I don't really see it as something you use to reconnect with people you used to know. It's more like a place where there's constant dick-measuring contests and people who backstab each other 24/7. I can't really stand the atmosphere of the place, and I'd deactivate my account if it weren't for the fact that my teachers use it to make important announcements/hand out assignments.and if i'm hearing things right, employers also use it to judge job seekers. jesus dicks.
The world is changing too fast and I am afraid I am falling of the ride. I don't get a lot of the things happening anymore, I understand them but I do not get them.
I just see it and I am here just wondering, "why?".

This, quite frankly. I was never with it, and whatever it was that I was with, as distant as it was from what it was, is increasingly distant from what it now is.
But given the statistics on suicide, depression, etc. I'm not entirely convinced that out of myself and the world, I'm the one who's gone mad.
>>82671756
>Technology feels like it's progressing way too quickly
Eh. I'm an electrical engineer of 28, to me technology is progressing much slower than I remember as a kid, it's just that now normies and jews have gotten hold of it and are finding increasingly retarded and banal uses for it, and i've lost all interest.
>Websites are "Tech"
>Give all your personal information to social media sites which then sell or hand it off to marketers, the government, whoever.
>make "startup" companies that have no buisiness model than to collect venture capital, build something people are dumb enough to use, but smart enough not to pay for, then sell out the name to a larger company before people actually start expecting them to make money.
Hell, I still don't know what the fuck to do with a tablet. Too big to carry around casually like a phone, too shitty to bother using at home instead of a real computer with a keyboard. Maybe they're for women, who have purses?
i don't know maybe it has already happened and i just haven't noticed it, i like cartoons a lot but my little brother and my little sister don't watch any cartoon they just watch let's players all day
it looks like most of the people that still watch cartoons are already teenager or adults
>me and a good deal of people have never been in one of the groups that south park has made fun of
>yet insist that they make fun of everyone so you shouldn't get upset when you eventually will be
>the pewdiepie/letsplay/internet culture that makes the main characters old farts.
I still maintain its a shitty episode but I can see why they made it
Technically yes? Well...I was never with it so. I don't know.

For video games
For any Wizards of the Coast or Paizo product, pandering to tumblr or normies(5e is still good, though).

>>82679316
>doesn't know what to do with a tablet
>on /co/ - COMICS & Cartoons
It's what they're perfect for, but I use mine for literally nothing else.
>>82668364
>Has it happened to you yet, /co/?
This implys that I was ever "with it."
>>82675033
Yeah, 4chan. I can't even tell a faggot to go kill himself anymore without getting the banhammer.
>>82668364
Yeah it happened to it, but I got over it once i stopped using my phone for just social media purposes. Now I got Marvel Unlimited, Hearthstone, watching stuff, or just simply reading some book/comic/manga on it.
Honestly Marvel unlimited is pretty great for the price. After just watching marvel movies and cartoons it got to a point where I wanted more. Who knew some of this stuff was more interesting than the average manga?
Still have a facebook but that's pretty much for messaging and uploading pictures to keep up when some people, twitter is where to real fun is at if you wanna piss off some people for entertainment.
>>82668364
I was never "with it".
Hell, I'm probably more with it now than I was in high school.
>>82682971
I guess. I've been out of the comics loop for a while too, I'm just here for the cartoons and the shitposting. Mostly the latter, really.
I don't own a smartphone or a tablet. I've never used any "social network" thing. I haven't seen the popular movies, don't know the popular celebrities or bands, don't know what's fashionable.
But I don't think I've ever actually been in touch, so I guess it hasn't and can't happen to me.
well, thinking about it, i used to play video games all night when i was younger. now i just don't get the games these days. i get lost in 3d worlds and struggle with the controls. i play for like 30 minutes and then my back starts hurting and i get bored and want to do something else
i guess it has happened to me in some degree after all
Minecraft.
>>82688265
they're fancy 3d legos
what's not to get
I can't get into any new shows.
>>82673353
I still use Firefox while most of the world uses chrome
Yes, with horror movies.
Modern horror movies are such unwatchable garbage yet everyone including critics seems to love many of them
>>82688346
Horror movies were never good.
how is that shit scary? It's fake.
Some teenagers getting fake stabbed with comical levels of gore is just silly, not scary.
>>82674200
Young Justice was great till it got cancelled
>>82688359
Fuck off with your shit-tier bait.
>>82688326
When did that happen anyway?
Like, for as long as I can remember, normies used IE. But now they all use chrome. Meanwhile I'm off in fucking palemoon land because everything is such shit.
I dated a girl when I could have gotten with it. She was 3 years younger than me but those three years made a difference. It was 2012 and we were really into old cult shit and classic /mu/ core garbage. But I got a full time job and started doing stand up comedy, and she kept getting trashier and trashier and as far as I'm aware that's just what's cool. Like, being trashy and stupid and proud of it. It looks, from the outside, like we're ironically celebrating stupidity?
>>82688375
>bait
But I'm being serious. Explain how any of that could possibly scare you.
>>82688383
>I'm being serious
Sure you are. Fuck off back to /tv/, retard.
>>82688401
So you can't actually explain it, but you don't like that I'm right?
>>82673353
>dear diary
Dude, shut the fuck up.
>>82688359
I agree, I too only watch fine movies, for fine moviegoers such as myself
>>82688414
>U-U CAN'T EXPLAIN IT
>I LE WIN XDD
You're not even hiding that you're baiting, fuck off.
>>82688443
You can just admit you have no explanation without being autistic about it. You're embarrassing yourself here. It's an anonymous imageboard. Nobody's gonna know it was you who couldn't defend the horror movies you love so much with even just one basic argument in their favor.
>>82668364
No, I was never with it nor will ever be.
>>all the cool and with it things now is just the shit you grew tired of years and years ago
I wish I'd been born autistic so I would have turned to science and mathematics instead of anime and comic books as a teenager. Nobody will ever give a fuck about actual nerd shit.
>>82688441
Subtle b8 list lad
>>82688459
>autistic
>instead of anime and comic books as a teenager
Friend, you're even more out of touch than you realize.
>>82688469
Are you telling me Norbit isn't kino?
>>82688457
The only idiot embarrassing yourself here is you,
You're an idiot who actually uses "LOL IT'S NOT REAL" as if that's a valid argument.
You're and idiot who thinks shitty slasher flicks with gore and teenagers = entire genre.
You're an an unbelievably dumb moron who opens his rotten mouth without doing even basic research, so you don't deserve even a basic reply beyond "fuck off"
So fuck off.
>>82688512
Look, I get that you apparently can't refute anything I said, but this level of upset isn't normal. Are you okay? I'm actually worried for you here.
>>82688483
Ah right, I forgot that a sadomasochistic, "disaster tourism" type of voyeur culture has evolved over the past 10 years, too. Since even autism is a meme I still wouldn't be safe.
>>82688522
>he keeps going at it
>>>/tv/
go back already and roam with the other retards.
>>82683666
That's because it's YOU who is the faggot, Satan.
>>82688536
Yeah, you definitely seem to be on the autistic spectrum. Let me help you out here: You can just stop posting. Nobody will know. I know the Internet is all you have, as with many in your situation, but you don't have to try to "win." You don't even have to actually admit that you have nothing to say. You can just stop posting and nobody will really even notice.
>>82688621
Look, I know you autists have that one thing you guys are obsessed with, and clearly for you it's horror movies. So I can understand why you got triggered. But you'll find that on /co/, just like in real life, nobody will notice or care if you just disappear. You need to calm down.
You also seem obsessed with greentexting and some sort of "board culture" nonsense. You should know that 4chan is an 18+ imageboard.
>>82688645
Is that all you got?
0/10 for the total absence of any effort.
Try harder, faggot. You're not even funny anymore.
>>82688381
I think the point of irony was passed long ago.
I think it happened because the trendsetters, the people at the bleeding edge of culture, they're all fairly clever people in their own way. Or at least very charismatic and gifted with some particularly bizarre tastes, which they can somehow make work for them by just being so damn cool about it.
The people who follow, aren't. So what was once an honest ironic criticism of how shit everything is by rising up to the challenge of lowering the bar has become an excuse to be as shit of a person as you can't be motivated not to be.
And now that the left has "won" the culture war and declared itself to be on the right side of history, and that history itself is a thing of the past, we're in for decades of the alt-right as the new counterculture. It should be interesting times, for sure.
>>82688653
Your responses were already nothing but autistic rage, and now you're even running out of that. I feel bad for you. Seek help.
>>82668364
I'm in a complicated state when it comes to "it". Ironically most of the people I get into arguments with who are "with it" happen to be older then me usually somewhere in the middle of their 20s when I'm just inching my way towards it now. I'm open-minded and adaptable to the point where it's never an issue understanding "it" more then it's just considering it not for me.The Internet is diverse enough where I feel you'd have to be ignorant on some level to miss "it".
The only "it" that truly has me lost is how people view "social justice" issues or characterizing every opposing viewpoint as Hitler. I really think identity politics are a stupid thing and I'd wish people would stop trying to look for trouble and pick meaningless fights over it. Somewhere around 2012 it exploded and is fucking everywhere
Can someone tell me if I'm turning into an old man early or if I'm just dealing with morons?
>>82688671
A bit of an advice. If you can't shitpost, don't do it. Otherwise we end up with retarded posts like yours.
I can't believe I'm so fucking bored that I have to entertain your talentless ass with replies.
>>82688699
>shitpost
Is that what you're trying to pass off your getting triggered as? Look, you need to do something I'm sure you haven't done in a long time and step outside. Take a few breaths of fresh air, feel the sun on your skin. Maybe talk to some people offline and calm down. It might give you time to get some perspective on how pathetic you've been.
>>82688711
>he got his points refuted
>dismisses it as "le autistic rage" because he's a dumb shitposter
>shits out low-quality LOL GET A LIFE bait
Jesus Christ, you're so pathetic. Kill yourself, no one will miss someone with intelligence like yours.
>>82688734
First you say you won't refute my points, now you try to claim you refuted them. I guess asking you to talk to people offline was too high a burden for your sort. But thankfully, it's not for me. I'm gonna go do something with my life now, which I guess you couldn't relate to. Though I won't be here to read it, I'm sure you'll make one last zero-effort reply so you can get the last word and feel like you "won." Well, I guess it's nice for you to at least have something in your empty life to cling to.
I really am serious that you should seek help.
>>82688670
Not that guy, but, I just want to know why teenagers today, who have access to ED and KYM and typically seem pretty well aware of what socially illiterate shit doesn't fly on the internet seem to be very interested in doing socially illiterate shit. I thought once Chris Chan became surface level internet knowledge kids would stop posting about their alternate universe fanfiction full of crudely realized original characters based around obvious fetishes. I thought once trolling as a subculture was recognized kids would have the foresight to realize the next level is reserved for only criminals and sociopaths. It's like social media mining our culture's the worst of the worst just resulted in self-sabotaging doublethink rather than an important lesson on how not to make an ass of yourself.
>>82668364
With some things yes and others not.
I'm 25 so I'm still young enough to be "with it" for most things, but old enough to remember when the Internet/Computers were just for nerds and you seemed weird if you spent a lot of time on them. Then came the rise of social media and now the average American spends more time online than they do watching TV.
>>82688750
I did so you could fuck off, but apparently this is hard for your little brain to comprehend.
>LOL DUDE GET A LIFE XD
Seriously, get some new material. You're boring.
>>82688645
Quit being so cranky.
>>82688670
>and that history itself is a thing of the past,
And not worth studying, because it's so old.
>>82668418
This and fucking new memes every god damn week. I have no idea what this dat boi meme is or what the fuck senpai means.
>>82689014
I hate this attitude, and now it's bleeding through to academics.
> haha anon, everyone knows history started with the birth of the state
or
> the past was terrible, let's only bring it up when it supports my thesis directly+
Youtube comments: the thread
>>82689245
Seeing such a prevalent attitude nowadays makes me wish I had paid more attention in history class, because it's just disheartening to see such willful ignorance from others. I fucked around in high school because I figured even if I failed in life, everyone else would do better. Most people are as dumb as me these days.
>>82689429
non academically, it pisses me off that history is seen as a meme
> every tesla fan ever

I just rather watch Dragon Ball than keep with Super, and I did watched Dragon ball 2 days ago. I'm impressed hard they find ways to push interesting plot lines when back in the day they just kept making interesting stories even in filler episodes, you can see Goku training and level up.
It's happened to me with 4chan. You people are way too nice and sensitive about stupid shit.
>>82690282
I loved Battle of Gods and every prior, RoF was eh, and Super just killed everything for me. I question how much of this is Toriyama's work as Super's version of Goku and pals seems too close to Toei's instead of his. The worst part is the wanking of Goku and how he can punch universes into nothing and is "faster then time". I'm dreading the Trunks arc as they're introducing "black Goku" from another universe into the mix and it's implied Goku is getting a new form to fight the guy. Why do fans want MORE of this?
>>82690511
I dunno man, we already seen Trunks a lot. He stayed the half of DBZ 2 in the current time, he was almost killed by Cell. I don't see it as nostalgic as everyone makes it, maybe because I have seen DBZ like 20 times, not even kidding. Our local tv station always put DBZ like once or twice a year.
Black Goku clould be Turles, I know he isn't canon but future earth doesn't have Goku.
I just can't wait to hear the reason Toei pull out of their ass to why Trunks is back.
>>82690757
I was more talking about fans wanting more of Goku being the most special man to ever live and escalating powerlevel stuff so we're punching out multiverses soon. I liked how before this he wasn't even the strongest fighter on Earth by the end of the series and how his legacy in other canon material was creating a world where humans can defend themselves from the crazy shit out there.
