Like I said, I'm just realistic; the world will fuck up, regardless of how I, or you, act. I just don't like to be ignorant and think that we can all make a difference when really, we are most definitely overpopulating the planet and whatever measures are brought in, population booms and emerging powers will mean the net change is negative. By 2050 the global population is expected to rise to 9 billion. Now, unless we're really clever I don't see us turning it around within a reasonable time frame. But really, you don't see me littering, I do recycle with our recycling bins, etc. Not because I believe that we can change the future course of humanity but because I'm not a scruffy bastard, and would never pass that on to my children. Soothing pain and heartbreak is different to having knowledge that our environmental efforts are masked by an emerging superpower and population growth.

Think what is teen bullshit?

I'm not, I embrace life and look forward to my future. Going to London and living it large. I just don't have any belief in the future of people who I'll never see and who aren't me.

Actually, I don't think it is. I think having the honest and 'switched-on' mindset is best, because I don't fool myself. I liken it to religion; by not believing in God, I'm essentially denying myself of heaven, and happiness in the afterlife. By your remark that would mean I'm wallowing in a bad mindset. But it's quite the opposite; I feel empowered, knowing that there are sheep in the world who are sacrificing pleasures, happiness and vastly devoting their lives to something I am certain is nonsense. Just like here; I can live my life quite happily, not thinking the planet must be saved and it's all going to hell. I know it is, but that's a given since civilisation is always going to go that way. Just take the good with the bad and live life. That would be impossible...every atom that constitutes you would remain at least in this solar system. What I mean is, for you to be part of something else, parts of you have to be around. Unless you believe in God, but then if you're born somewhere else in the universe what does it matter what happens to Earth? :p

Yes, that is where we keep her most the time. Just kidding of course

lol, it almost looks like you're holding your cat up as if it's a fish you caught. And I love animals. Both to pet, and eat. Here's my cats: Sally: Smaug der Goldene:

This is kind of the problem. You might try to do one thing, but at the end of the day, other things you're doing pretty much fully consume what little effect you're trying to have in a positive way, and then some. You really can't win at this game. Supposing you were the most ethical person ever, living in a hovel constructed of tin cans. You'd have sacrificed fuck loads of stuff and be miserable, yet your petty contribution won't make a difference since: a) You can't actually cause significant numbers to follow you, at least not numbers that would have any sizeable difference and b) there's countries completely masking your contribution with their output. It's all well saying that it makes you feel good, but really I think that's a bit smug. Kind of like people who drive hybrid cars. You might be trying to save the planet, but you're not, and that's a shame. It needs supplements really. Any diet that needs supplements is therefore a bad diet, as supplements aren't a diet. They're essentially corrections of a bad diet. Very true, but we're going in the direction and we can only slow it. Slowing it actually invokes the chance of more people being around to witness the doom event, whichever way you look at it.

Naruto: Shippuden (usespoilerboxesplz)
Sheikah replied to Raining_again's topic in General Chit Chat
The only problem I have with Naruto, Bleach and the like (did use to watch them) is that they don't ever seem to have any sign of ending. So they're pretty much being made up as they go along, and probably not ending because they're such cash cows. And using filler always screams of biding time so they can space out genuine plot. Don't get me wrong, some of the episodes back when I used to watch it were good, but the quality just wasn't comparable to something like FMA, where the plot was most probably fully realised before she had illustrated most of the chapters. You'll probably roast me now, oh well. -
Why is that? Like if my house was in fire I'd sit there and allow myself to die? I'm all for self-preservation. But small long-term efforts to save the planet by any one of us (like not eating meat) is absolutely futile. Sorry. I'm pretty sure he was asking whether he could make a difference to the environmental situation (which is most certainly not, if you read difference as 'even a slither of difference on the grand scale of things'). This statement backs that up:

Pretty sure I got 62 wrong then, so I'll answer something else: Q76. Home button L1 L2 L3 R1 R2 R3 D-left D-up D-right D-down triangle circle square cross Both analogue sticks... In-built sixaxis crap And... the reset button! So I guess you'd call that 17, if you count the analogue sticks as buttons themselves and discount motion stuff. -

"The future is doomed, so chill out and live life to the max." - The uber philosophy. We really are prolonging the inevitable. I'm not saying we should go out and burn huge chunks of coal, but limiting ourselves in such minor ways will not make the slightest shred of difference compared to the output of superpowers such as China. Which answers the topic title kind of nicely. I don't find meaning in striving for a hopeless task; I could really be enjoying myself in what limited lifespan we have. I've been called pessimistic, but I'm easily one of the most content and happy people I know. I don't fear the fact that humanity is, at some point or other, doomed. Just accept it and chillax. Our planet cannot possibly sustain us the way we are going, and unless we suddenly stop reproducing, it's not going any other way. I'd say the people living in fear are those persistent on worrying about the environment and trying to exact change.

We're doomed, it's true. Population will continue to increase, resources will be consumed and the environment polluted. It's absolutely inevitable. The annoying thing is that we in the UK are just a mere blip in terms of contribution to the crisis; blame China, etc. People don't like to hear it, but none can contest it. Technically, preserving the planet for longer is evil. More people will be alive further down the line, thus more people die! Think of it that way. The Sheikah philosophy. :p

The Official N-E Quiz 100 Question Special (Scores Updated)
Sheikah replied to Shorty's topic in General Chit Chat
Sure, it's here (Q67): -
Yeah, in a similar vein I remember getting a bit annoyed at these soap spray foams, where you take them with you during while you're out and about and they don't require water. Actually, that could be useful if you have a child, but I'm sure on the advert it was just some sort of hypochondriac.
-
Genius. :p
-
lol, I could just imagine a really filthy household that had taken the time to fit one of these. Like they're living in filth, but they'll sure as hell clean their hands. :p I'm still not seeing it. The soap kills the germs, and certainly, whatever germs were left wouldn't harm you. If there were germs left that would harm you, that soap utterly failed its job. Bit different in a hospital where people generally have their entrails lying half off the operating table.
-
Yeah but I put in the topic title 'domestic use''. I think it's definitely aimed at domestic rather than commercial use, since a commercial soap pump would likely be larger or more secure (ie. can't be ripped out easily).
-
Maybe I can see the aesthetic potential; I guess I'm more or less tackling the company's tagline that it's good for tackling germs. :p
-
Genuine contender for one of the most daft topics ever... But I think this is a ridiculous product, every time it's advertised: It's a soap dispenser that is automatic and senses your hands below it, the manufacturer's reason for which: "germs are on the actual hand pump". Yes, but then the soap that comes out kills the germs you just picked up! Maybe in a public place you really woudln't want to touch the soap dispenser, but your own house shouldn't be a shithole. Am I missing a trick here? Or do people think this is a credible product?

Hey Shorty, did I ever get #67 right yesterday? Just wondering if it was one of those you thought you had crossed out but didn't save. -
Well not the graphics and inclusion of multiplayer, surely. The co-op play was great; worked really well online and with friends in the same room. I preferred RE4 because it was fresh and had better characters/story, but RE5 was still really good.
