The MEGASHOCK Saloon Thread


Recommended Posts

Edit--^haha, yeah of all the odd pronunciations, that "murruk" really irked me the more I heard it throughout grade school.  I also hated when people started putting a "k" sound in certain words---like "SKREET" instead of "STREET" or "SCRAIGHT" instead of "straight".

 

sheeeittt, that reminds me of how prevalent the stigma was in my Dad's generation... oh yeah, he's told me all about how if you knew what was good for ya, in terms of social standing... you'd be "in the closet" in terms of any nerdy tendencies.  To be outed as a nerd was almost as bad as an accusation of being gay.

 

Things didn't change much by Gen-X either.  I eventually developed too much pride to hide it though...then again that might've been pointless anyway, as I already had an established reputation as an "Urkel"....but it would become something that fed my ego, to always be regarded as one of the smartest in class; someone people suddenly wanted to sit next to when it was test time.... I was always indifferent about that---as long as their cheating didn't get me in trouble then whatever. 😄

Yeah you and I are of the same mind on that. I've read enough history and listened to enough accounts of people who fled communist/socialist countries to see the effect the philosophy has. I get that Marxism is just the theory of it, but Marx is like th L.Ron Hubbard of the philosophy set writing shit that probably was not meant to be taken that seriously, but then people do...

I wouldnt say is the philosphy perse.

After all, you have plenty of social programs in other countries that work pretty well that are created based on said philosophies, like public healthcare, social programs to help low income areas, etc.

 

The problem is that what you have on many of those societies are goverments that use the philosphy as a means to get the hold on the power and stablish dictatorships, using as usual, false words to gain the faor of the people.

So, they will have the same issues regardless what kind of economy philosophy they use.

 

I have seen it happen in all of latin america, where you have what you could call extreme left and extreme right goverments leave their countries in ruins because at the end of the day, what you have arent goverments trying to work for the people in the country, but to keep the power and police what everyone does.

 

Take Hugo Chavez.

When he started, Venezuela actually started to grow economically, and the industries actually grew in multiple ways.

Then the fucker became engrossed with the power, and the rest is history.

The country in ruins, and the economy fucked.

 

Then you have El Salvador, which was the polar opposite, where during the 80s and 90s you had goverments that were funded by USA in the war against the commies and they proceeded a witch hunt that devolved into a civil war between the people and the dictatorship, a war that lead to hundreds of thousands and perhaps around some millions of deaths.

 

And which its sequels are now a problem that persists over a lot of latin america since this lead to the creation of gangs that have grown over many places like the 18 gang, and the MS gang.

We should do some art collabs or something in the future.

 

I'm trying to do more art/animation but lately the  forums + freelance work have been taking up my time.  I need more hours in a day...

Me too. I'm super low on cash, so I'm looking for some way to drum up commissions, but no one has bit in a while, not even for video editing.

Grilled two New York strips medium rare, just damn. Served with asparagus, and mushrooms in a red wine sauce.

 

Eating one of Rocky Road ice cream for dessert (one of the gawd ice creams).

 

Yo this evening is going places.

 

I feel that. I'm cooking oven fries now. Some as a side for the chicken I'm about to warm up, and the rest for whenever. The meal I'm about to have will be well worth this wait.

 

And on food, I made another leap with pizza. Now mine (as far as my taste goes)  is just one rung below my favorite spot here.

 

While I'm fine with eating out, there is a special charm to kicking back and eating a good homemade meal.

I've rarely seen such an obvious cash grab that so many people buy into.

 

If it wasn't for M:TG, I wouldn't have traveled, met my best friends or met my wife.

 

Travel is a bit of a stretch; but it involved hella awesome road trips. Call it what you may, but it left me a lifetime of great experiences.

Unbeknownst to him, the new gif button let loose the RockB initiative on these lands.

 

Now nobody would ever communicate in full English sentences. Instead the board members resorted to a collection of moving hieroglyphics. A constant stream of referential material which only made sense from experiencing years of American pop culture.

 

The promise of animated avatars brought with it more than they had bargained for: now the only way to speak was simply to be animated.
