Postby Izaya-senpai » Sat Sep 17, 2016 12:47 pm

something that someone says that is totally stupid and just makes you cringe.
Ex: when people call Link Zelda. i hate when people do that! unless the person has never heard of legend of Zelda then they shouldn't mistake his name for a girl's.

I am one of those people. :p

Me? I cringe when people get simple facts, specifically geographic and historical, wrong.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

When confused teenage boys pretend to be girls on NationStates, then proceeds to date other nations, going as far as doing lewd stuff on the RMB.

I see this all the time in my region.
I really wish I could delete all my forum posts. Most of my them were made in ignorance.

When teenage fan-girls say that people like Jacob Sartorius are talented. I never knew that hiding your voice behind 100 layers of auto-tune to the point where you begin to sound like a fucking robot constitutes as talent. Then again, I have been wrong before.

Oh, I almost forgot! Everything that comes out of this kids' mouth is pure cringe.

So, just because they teach things you disagree with, does not mean they are wrong if they back it up with research and articles.

I can answer that: they wouldn't be paid without effort. You are using some kind of misconception of socialism as a basis for your views. You also assume monetary wealth is the only driving force for work.
