It's people like these that warrant this thread's existence.

Also, we're reading Julius Caesar now in English class, and his third person speaking is quite annoying.

http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/53073/mayans-france-will-survive-the-apocalypse/

Now kids, what is wrong with this article?

Nothing! Are you saying France won't survive through the 21/12/12?

Haha my school's France exchange student just left to go back to France for good. Maybe this is why...

Quote from: Waddle Bro on December 15, 2012, 02:52:00 PMNothing! Are you saying France won't survive through the 21/12/12?

Not saying that. But this article is batshit is many ways.

1. It wasn't directly said by the mayans that the world would end on December 21st/22nd. The calender just ended on that day.
2. How did the Mayans know how France existed back then? Or how they would survive their so called apocalyspe?
3. How does the calender ending mean the end of the world? Maybe they would have made a new calender if the Spanish Consquidors didn't come.

lol I was kidding

Toshinori Oda in Battle Royale, he gets shot down by the EMOTIONLESS PSYCHOPATH WHO IS PLAYING THE GAME FOR FUN, saved from death because of a bulletproof vest. Then, a few seconds later, when the person is obviously still there, he Jumps up and shouts "I'M ALIVE"

Take a wild shot on what happens.

Whenever I play Mother 3 on my laptop at school, everyone is instantly like "OH MY GOSH YOU'RE PLAYING POKEMON" "Uh... no, I'm not." "YES YOU ARE!!!"

Really, have kids these days never heard of an RPG? -.-
I bet if I were playing Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or any other game where you fight enemies and level up, they would think it's Pokemon.

Also, Judge Ghis from FFXII.

So, he gets the FFXII equivilent of a Macguffin, and he hooks it up to his airship. This stone, however, drains magic and keeps it for itself. His ship is powered by magic stones, and without them, his ship will destablise and explode.

Now kids, what happens when you hook up a magic draining stone to a ship powered my magic stones.

Something like that happened to me, once.

In 7th grade, I had set a computer's background to look like the overworld map from LoZ: Oracle of Ages, and when an 8th grader came over to look at the computer, he tried to convince me that it was pokemon, and when I tried to get on the computer to prove him otherwise, he grabbed my hand and just about broke my pinky...well he would have if he kept squeezing...Man, he was a dick-ass. He still kind of is, too. Too bad he wouldn't let me get my point across...

My problem is with people who don't adjust their speed in the slightest when you're trying to get ON the highway. like if the highway has any decent amount of traffic, it'd be nice if someone slowed down 1-2mph to make an extra car length so you at least have an idea of who/where you're going to merge with.

I know it's not really complicated like that since it happens so fast, but what I mean is, if you're going to drive in the right lane, pay attention man.

Its worse since everyone in my school is from NJ

So my science teacher is the smartest of all my teachers. I like how he teaches; instead of just teaching science, he teaches us about the real world, current events, preps up for college, etc. I don't know why everyone hates him and why he gets so much shit despite all the things he does. For example, he teaches all his new students about human values (honesty, humility, resiliency, all the stuff like that) and how you can keep them. One teacher once told him this. Direct quote, totally serious...

"Why the hell are you teaching your students about how to be 'good human beings' and getting them ready for the college curriculum? It's not going to be on the CSTs, so why bother?" ...what the fuck?

Unfortunately, since many of my friends think he's an asshole just because he's too strict, and they don't like their wrongs (such as their individualistic attitudes) being corrected by him, they've transferred to AP Chemistry so they don't have him.

So I was telling my friend Alex some stuff he told us about politics and whatnot, just the stuff I thought was remarkable enough to share. Then she told me this. Again, direct quote...

"Uh, why does he think it's important to tell you these things? Like, global warming? Seriously, who cares? Nothing that happened in the past is important, why does it matter?"

Well, as an ex-high school student...

I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever.  I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway.

If your class isn't doing derivations, then I'm already disappointed.

Nope sorry.  We're doing stupid stuff with polynomials...  We're literally doing the EXACT SAME STUFF AS LAST YEAR in Adv. Algebra II...  Like Descartes' Rule, finding the asymptotes, etc.  So yeah, people are stupid.

I'm in Honors Algebra II and we're already more than a quarter into the school year and still doing basic algebra (radicals, quadratic formula, etc). No one's even having that much trouble with it, so idk what they want. I'm just wondering how the regular classes are ever going to get to anything

So this morning my mom woke me up at 7:00 A.M. and told me that I had a doctor's appointment at 7:30. I reminded her that I had Jazz Band, and she just said, "Oh, I guess you'll have to miss it sorry." So I was a little miffed because I wasn't going to be able to get to Jazz Band.

It gets better. Once I got to school and tried to explain to my director why I wasn't there, he blew a gasket. "well why don't you have a note from the doctor what doctor is even open at 7:30 A.M. i'm supposed to be featuring you this year do you have any idea how bad this looks you're a senior start acting like one" and I was || THIS close to punching him.

(the lines are supposed to represent my fingers showing how close I was to punching him.)

so uh that's my story hope you enjoyed it.

This is the way it was for me too. Don't worry, you'll get into logarithms and conics at the end of the year and those are much more interesting.

My teacher is pretty annoying too though. She's told us at least two times now that she's not going to teach us a certain thing because "its too hard" or she "doesn't like it", while the other teachers teach their students. And from what I've heard from other classes, she's skipping even more than what shes telling us

Honestly if we have to wait that long to get to something new I'd rather have it all crammed into Algebra I and not have to take II at all

I don't actually believe that precalc is supposed to get into derivatives (assuming that's what you meant by derivations). The most that I can see is the power rule, but even the limit definition seems a little advanced for a precalc class to me. It's supposed to cover things like limits in a way that one could understand them on the level required in calculus without learning any calculus.

If you meant derivations as in proofs, then ignore my statement and I agree.

An idiot contest? Finally something I have a chance of winning.

Our teacher made up words for taking the derivative (like derivatize), so I've started to associate the root of the word with derivatives.

She also said that Muslims were a country.

And that Wombats Lay Eggs.

OMG the amount of people who say call discrimination of Muslims racism is ridiculous. It's called being religiously insensitive. When will people learn?

Well, one could argue that it's actually racism against middle eastern people, seeing as many people wrongfully assume that the two are one and the same. Granted, there is certain religious headwear that could be more definitive, but most people don't hold their discrimination to that level of scrutiny. For example, there are white Muslims. They may be a lot rarer, but they do exist, and you can bet that they receive a lot less discrimination than their middle eastern counterparts. While typical bigotry uses Islam as a grounds for discriminating against that region of the world and its people, and therefore refers to all of them as "Muslims", in reality, it doesn't require that specification.

Seriously. I know a girl (love her, but her opinion is stupid) who has this opinion. And for adults, "being afraid of needles" isn't an excuse for not being properly vaccinated or even not getting a flu shot every year.

Honestly, I'll take "I'm afraid of needles" over "I think it causes all of these horrible things despite the entire scientific community disproving them, and therefore am willing to put myself, my children, and anybody else around us who hasn't been vaccinated at risk of catching these horrible diseases" any day. At least with the first reason, they're partially admitting that their fear has no basis in fact.

...Not to say that it isn't still ridiculously stupid XD

That's exactly what my friend thinks. She has a friend whose mom apparently got a terrible disease from getting a flu shot -.-

I hate needles in general...  Just the thought of something sinking halfway into your arm?  No thanks.

Sure it's a bit of a poop, but one needle now is better than dying later.

Or worse, infecting others later. If you don't want to get vaccinated for yourself, whatever that's your choice, but if you get an illness and it's contagious then you're affecting others with your dumb decision.

Pretty sure that most people who hate needles still get the necessary vaccinations. It's be stupid to so otherwise.

Edit: I was going to say that, but the interwebs suggests that people really do postpone or skip vaccinations just to avoid the needle.

I learned about this in psych- it's actually an instinct.  It's how animals know not to eat something after just ONE time.  EG birds and monarchs.   But someone figured out that you can make animals(people included) associate sickness with x food and the hatred of that food can actually be hereditary.  Do me a favor and see if your kids like jello :P

1: You could have eaten the food many times before and not gotten sick, yet some people still have that reaction.

I think, for humans, it's mainly resulting from ignorance, or false information that they've "learned" (as with vaccines), because if you know that the food isn't what caused you to be sick (as I said earlier, many people associate the last food they ate with what caused them to be sick, especially in cases of food poisoning, although then, it's arguably justified), you likely won't have any problem with it.

Actually the bolded part of the first paragraph of the quote you just altered is a true experience for myself. To this day I'm physically incapable of taking pills because, as a kid, I almost passed out by choking on a hard candy. Since that day, any time I try to swallow something that's not something that originated inside my mouth (or has been chewed), my tongue instinctively flies up and doesn't let it through. There's nothing I can do about it. It's all subconsious but now I'm stuck with liquids and chewable pills. There is the occasional raisin that falls down by accident but that's about it. Only the off-chances.

Yes!  Another one!  Yeah!

I'm not denying that it's instinctive, but rather, that in many cases (especially those from my personal experience), it's not instinct that causes the effect to occur, but rather, what you know (or what you don't know). Many people have convinced themselves that it's the food itself that's unsafe, rather than the fact that the fact that they ate way too much of it and/or were already sick in the first place. In cases like that, as I mentioned, it's not always a matter of instinct (or else you don't know how many people would refuse to eat common, everyday foods, like meat, bread, fruit, etc.), but rather, the knowledge the person has, or the actions the person takes (or else it would apply to everybody/nearly everybody).

Not to mention that your responses to my points make no sense at all (the first and finals ones especially). :P It seems like, in your responses, you're acknowledging what I said, and yet denying that what I said is true (if that makes any sense).

Yeah, not nearly enough people realize that correlation does not imply causation (i.e. two things happening together doesn't imply that one is the result of another). And so people say "Oh, all of these people who have autism got these shots when they were young! It must be because of the shots!" and similarly stupid things. Human beings like to have something to blame when things go wrong, and so in cases where scientific knowledge provides no definite answer (or, what's worse, when there actually is one, but they've received false information that misleads them from this answer), people decide to entirely forego that scientific knowledge and blame whatever they think was associated.

Yeah, if it was just their own health that they were putting at risk, I wouldn't really care. But there are people who are immunocompromised who actually have a reason not to get vaccinated, because their immune systems can't even risk taking in a weakened form of a virus, and anybody who chooses not to get vaccinated is putting these people at risk. Not to mention, these people also choose not to vaccinate their children, and children have actually died as a result of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_controversies#Events_following_reductions_in_vaccination).

It's actually pretty funny to me that parents have avoided vaccinations for their children on the grounds that they might cause autism (even though they've been proven not to) when the meningitis shot, one of the most widespread vaccinations, prevents a disease that is about infinitely more likely to cause mental issues than any shot ever will be. I mean, the whole autism scare was mostly with the MMR vaccine, but it's still funny that people reject a scientific advancement that prevents far worse consequences from occurring than those that will ever arise as a result of it.

There are a lot more factors in the human psyche than just "instinct", especially considering the fact that instinct is nothing more than a neurological pattern that frequently develops in a species/multiple species regardless of environmental factors. The fact is, we have enough conscious control over our thoughts and behavior (and enough environmental influence) that her thinking that the shot caused her to be sick is much more than instinct. Not to mention, unless the symptoms started occurring directly after getting the shot, there are so many other things that happened, things ingested, etc. that could have been associated with the illness, that the association could have only been a result of conscious thought. Many people, too, have the ability to rationally analyze whether the food that they ate actually made them sick or not. Instinct is not the end-all, be-all of psychology.

Anecdotes don't compare to actual scientific data. I blame the misinformed masses and people who try to suggest fake remedies that do the misinforming to sell their own products. I also remember some famous celebrity on Oprah saying that vaccines were responsible for her kid's autism...I think she was just stupid or didn't believe that her genes and age had something to do with it because she and her husband were both rich and famous celebrities.

Also, I got food poisoning from blueberry muffins, several restaurants/takeout food and sticky rice on multiple occasions. I've gotten back to eating everything but blueberry muffins.

I am so opposed to the idea of calling people sheep. If it is possible to mislead people in such a manner that they wholeheartedly defend something based on completely inaccurate "facts", then it is ridiculously arrogant to assume that only the people who disagree with you are susceptible to this. If people live in a constant state of paranoia that "the other side is trying to convince me with falsified information", it turns what should be completely objective issues, such as vaccination, into subjective ones.

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 09, 2014, 05:46:53 PMWait the people who are AGAINST vaccines call you sheep?  Hypocritical much or just me?

Sheep have a tendency to go with the crowd. Given the fact that so many people seem to be against vaccines because of petty 'fears' or because 'Jenny McCarthy told me not to!' against all actual evidence available I must conclude that it's people who don't get vaccinated are the sheepy ones. My Mother and sister both suffer from sever needle fears. They sometimes faint while waiting or as they are getting a needle. But if it necessary for them to get a needle, for whatever reason, they don't run away or manipulate it so they don't have to have it. They go in and they take like a woman.

This is what really frustrates me about anti-science people. They completely ignore the evidence and go with their gut feeling. Well, you know what? If it actually worked it'd be called science, not pseudo-science.

Enjoy your genital warts.

If you're that person who, when the teacher is lecturing about a certain principle, needs to point out how you or someone you know is an exception to said principle, I probably hate you.

I'm ashamed to say, I was...back in elementary/middle school, at least XD I just remember one day when they were doing some drug education thing, they were talking about advertising, and a younger, even more belligerent me was like "I'M NOT INFLUENCED BY ADVERTISEMENTS BECAUSE I'M SPECIAL" (or something to that effect). And then, as for political bias, at some point during middle school I started watching the daily show/colbert report and took their viewpoints as fact, becoming the epitome of "politically charged pre-teen with knowledge of only one side of any issue". It wasn't until my 8th grade social science teacher explained to us how complicated bias can be that I started attempting to self-analyze (and probably succeeded very little at this until years later, if even then). Sure, I'm still biased; even once you realize that fact, it's impossible to eliminate it entirely; but I do make a conscious effort to analyze why it is that I think a certain way.

Yet, even that mindset came from the influence of a teacher. Bias is a tricky thing, isn't it?

I mean more like the teacher saying "this doesn't happen" and some girl raises her hand and says "well it happened to my cousin out of state one time." Or a teacher saying "this is how it works" and some random person "it's not like that for me."

Oh, no yeah, I totally know what you mean. Like, one time when my music theory teacher was explaining what perfect/absolute pitch is, and how it can't be learned/taught, and some guy raises his hand and claims that he's successfully teaching it to himself. Just...just, no.

Luckily, there aren't TOO many subjects where that can happen, haha. Mostly psychology.

Calling someone a sheep means more like just listening or obeying mindlessly (just based on context, I didn't bother looking it up). I think those that use the word should really pay attention to what they're doing themselves. Someone who disagrees with the general consensus isn't automatically right when they come up with a few discredited sources to back themselves up. I could prove anything I wanted if I cherry picked my info and sources! Don't get me started on the gut feeling thing. If someone trusts it that much, they would believe anyone that goes with their gut feeling to notice what the claims were from or based on.

@FD's other post and Slowball

The other problem is that people think "it's never going to happen to me." I think we've all done it at some point xD Finding themselves or something else to be an exception to the norms, that is.

I don't like needles either since I have really, really small veins and really, really skinny arms and it takes about 20 minutes to an hour for even a pinprick to stop bleeding (cuts close up really fast, just not punctures...), but I've stayed up to do with most vaccines ._. Just not the HPV one (yet), the needle was huge :o and my fatter sisters all complained about how much it hurt xD I'm kind of debating whether or not I should still take it because I'm near the end of the recommended age and I'm not...active xDDDD wahhh...

If you want to look like an idiot more times than not, then go right ahead.

There's a difference between logical assumptions and illogical assumptions. Many people don't know the difference, or aren't capable to make logical assumptions.

Assuming is to guess without conclusive evidence. Why do you think it makes asses out of people? Because they're making assumptions of things that either aren't their business, or they really don't know anything about.

It's funny that your definition of an assumption includes the context in which it takes place XD
But...assumptions CAN be made about things that are one's business/one knows a great deal about. There are a lot of things that we can't be expected to have conclusive evidence for, and if we're reasonably invested and educated in that subject, there's nothing wrong with making an assumption, as long as you don't treat it as if it were conclusive evidence.

...However, a quick google search would provide conclusive evidence for the whole michael/fred phelps thing, so yeah.

When in doubt, remember that Google is your best friend.

QuoteAccording to her, she nearly bought the game for her daughter until she saw the connection between "Green Leaf" and marijuana. "My daughter may have become a serial killer or worse, an animal abuser, if I had bought her the game," she recalled, "I considered suing Nintendo right then for causing me so much distress all those years ago. Are there even any Christians at Nintendo?"

QuoteCuriosity quickly turned to outrage though as she witnessed a scene where "a small dog and her puppy are chased by some poachers and they end up cornering the baby dog." It was then that she noticed the puppy had no skin on its head and its skull was visible which made it clear to her that these poachers must have abused these poor creatures for science experiments. She went on to describe that "the puppy eventually got away but had to listen as these vile men beat her mother to death."

QuoteAfter a brief argument, I was able to wrestle my daughter's Nintendo away from her and broke it in half. I flushed that horrible Pokemon game down the toilet with my cat's droppings. I've banned her from any video games and anything Pokemon-related and told her that she's never going to see the boy who bought the game for her ever again. And I'll be home schooling her from now on.

It's a satire website guys. Don't worry. Though I'm annoyed they destroyed a Nintendo 3DS XL for the sake of the satire...

The fact that it's believable says something though.

What a piece of work. Has he even seen what you did -.-

Anyway today and part of yesterday, I found an identity of an Internet troll. The person did seem to try to hide his identity but didn't do a good job. I'm not anything special when it comes to background checks and all I did was use google and some media sites. I found out the person's real name, where he lived and his age range (and race). It took about 5 minutes. Steps:

1) One of the site's trolls had an account using a name that mimicks a real one (in contrast to names like notmyrealname). A google search for that name leads to the person's facebook. It's easy to tell because the person uses the EXACT SAME photo and likes pages that support the exact same rants.
2) Since facebook's policy is that no one can be hidden from search results, I click on the profile. Evidence is pointing that this was a fake account. (Yes, and this is why no one should publish publicly).
3) A search on spokeo suggested this was not a real person (no surprise).
4) I go back to the person's profile and look at other public posts. Facebook by default, appears to make your likes page and friend list public. Under followers,  which is public information, there was a person whose surname rhymes with the identity of another troll on the same website.
5) I click on the followers page. There's the public list of likes again, and some photos.
6) I type in the person's name on Facebook's search engine. This person has a more common name so I saw multiple results. But I noticed the person shared the same photo (a lopsided phone pic of a movie screen) as the other account. Not to mention, both accounts used angry looking skulls as profile pictures and cover photos (which again, are public). Their facebook URLs are also nearly the same, only different by the numbers at the end. They also like the same pages, for pete's sake. Since their friend's list photos are pretty homogenous, I made a conclusion about what the person looked like.
7) I type in the person's name in spokeo and find their city, zip code and age group. No surprises. Even though it wasn't on their facebook.

It took me much longer to write the post than to stalk this person online...I guess the lesson is to know what you're sharing. Now, I think I might egg the person if he trolls again. Just subtlely.

actually i kinda get what he was talking about lol

he just said it really rude and easily misunderstood way

is this the thread where idiots rant or the thread where we rant about them

So Ruto and the others on Skype have heard me complain about this all semester, but there's this guy on the floor above me that is probably the biggest scumbag I have ever met.

He drinks, does pot, and is a general asshat. He also just so happens to have a big surround sound system with subwoofers in his room that vibrate my whole apartment and everyone else in the general area. I have silently dealt with it all semester until last night, when people from the second floor came up to complain about the noise (which was actually on the fourth floor!). So today I decided and I went to housing along with a sizable group of people that have had a problem with the guy, and they told him to take the system out of his room. Then, while they were making sure he did that, they found his stash of weed and busted him. Now he got kicked out and normally I would feel bad but this guy has cost me so many precious hours of sleep that I honestly couldn't give any less of a fuck.

In my opinion, that can't possibly have gone any better.

I saw someone spell "discussions" as "descutions," among other things, like "awancer." He was an 11th grader.

It was due to not knowing how the words were spelled, most likely. Repeated mistakes were made, and no attempts at correction.

Trrrible.

That reminds me of a time where some girl who was a library aide was writing on these flyers to hand out all over the school. It was for some event being held in the library and on the "Where:" line she put "libary"      -____- literally. A high schooler didn't know how to spell library.... -_______-    I feel like that's a word you learn to spell in 1st grade...

Well, it's definitely a word you should learn how to spell if you're a library aide...

See that's the thing though
If you are spelling like that^ on purpose, for fun, then that's fine, I don't mind it. If you don't know HOW to spell words you SHOULD know how to spell, therein lies the problem ;)
Bad grammar and spelling does bother me, but not enough to correct people on it.

Hopefully it was actually dyslexia xD I remember in high school this kid kept mispelling "might." He wrote "mite" every time, even on typed assignments. I think he's a teacher now? ._.

I saw some posts from doctors telling about their dumbest patients...
One that stuck out to me was basically this:
This lady has to have her foot amputated and is given waiver forms to sign. Her friend asks if she needs time to think about it. She's very nonchalant and doesn't seem to care much about the procedure. He gets suspicious and asks why she's not more concerned. She says she understands why they have to operate but it's OK because the foot will grow back.

How can people like this even exist.

Oh come on, she could be some sort of alien species that looks and acts like a human but grows their body parts back after having them cut off.

So I was at the park today taking photos of the flowers when a bunch of small kids runs over to the tree I'm taking pictures of and started stripping the branches of flowers. The dad tries to tell them to stop, but they said they needed to pick them to throw at this other guy in the park to defeat him (a game, maybe). The kids were even climbing a fence nearby to jump off and grab at the branches (!!!), so the other guy decided to help them out (that freakin' enabler), which meant nearly all the low hanging flowers were gone. What a bunch of douchebags in training -.- It reminds me of that St. Augustine memoir, where kids just seem to LIKE being destructive.

Here's a picture of the flowers they were so "fond" of.

Ugh, if you can't control your kids, don't have that many...though I've never seen such poorly behaved kids. It seems that a rabble like that would only learn when they get an injury from jumping off fences >_> Or a bee sting.

Okay let's go ahead and stop this train before it derails.

Patriarchy still exists and it impacts us all negatively. Some feminists go overboard and villainize men and in turn men get defensive and get all anti-feminist. This wouldn't be such a controversial topic if people wouldn't get butt hurt over stupid things.

Pretty much every "news article" I've ever seen on Moviepilot uses the line "my theory is"

How is that news? How is posting a theory that is no better than a fanfiction anywhere CLOSE to news?

And does anyone ever proofread that site? Can moviepilot just burn in hell for all eternity?

This thread is worth resurrecting for this:
Today, I saw a few kids walking across the street today, where there wasn't a crosswalk. They saw my car, and ran across faster. Then, I saw the teenage girl say something to the other kid, and run top speed across the road behind me. That wouldn't be a problem, but she clearly did it because there was a car right behind me and she wanted to run across the road in front of a car again and she nearly got herself hit and should have augh.

I always get annoyed when kids run across the street in front of me, but I try to remember that kids do immature things; however, what the kids did to you was just stupid. xD

I did that before
the car honked at us lol it
wasn't even close
