I don't get it.


When did this happen? I've been calling them Bionicles my whole life.


It happened to me on Tumblr today.

Look up "Bonkles bashing" and "austinhinton1995" to see what I mean.

I hate it when media outlets glorify selfish losers who want nothing more than making a name for themselves.

{Example: The ongoing militia conflict in Oregon. :evil: }

I think that the Hotel Transylvania movies are some of Adam Sandler's best work in a long while.

Yup, and humans should be forced to stop breeding long enough to get the population back under control, for the survival of our species, every other species and our planet, regardless of how much people "want a baby." :evil:

It's ok to have one baby, but then you got these families who churn out 6 or 7 of them. Save some room in the gene pool for the rest of us. :D

The whole idea of life is that you have to fight for your genes to endure---don't expect any room to be made for yours just out of kindness.

Well, we wouldn't have to fight if some people would learn to stop churning out babies like there's no tomorrow. :)

I think much 'reasoning' is better described as rationalisation.

There is no more 'real' reality than the one you are perceiving, be it one you consider revealed by drugs or calculations.

I think scientists (and their fans) of a certain stripe should be taken seriously, so they may then be mocked.

I think humans are ever hamstrung by their need for narrative and meaning, such that they cannot but project it into every venture they take up.

I believe that if everyone lived secular lives where they can believe in god if they want to but religion is not a big deal, like the majority of people in Canada and the UK, the world would be a much better place. Countries where religion is a big deal are poor, war-ravaged and severely messed up.

I hate the casual use of words like overrated or underrated. It's okay for you to rate anything as high or as low as you want, but do you really need to imply anyone who disagrees with you is somehow at fault? After all, simply expressing your disagreement with those who rate the thing at hand differently is redundant---if you didn't disagree with them, your ratings would be the same.

I hate judgmental people. Such people I think are insecure.

I do what I want, when I want. If people don't like it they can stay away from me.

In my opinion, being called a "Jerk" is a compliment, because (in my opinion) it means someone who: (1) is not manipulated by shaming; (2) makes his own decisions without needing to consult others; (3) expresses his own opinions, even when they are in conflict with the opinions of others; (4) sticks to the facts, no matter how unpleasant or "rude" those facts may seem to others; and (5) is not at all concerned with the concepts of "popularity" and "political correctness".

I like it when people call me a b----h and they're actually angry about something I did or said.
