[QUOTE=Killer900;51056691]If you don't want to hear about it, ignore it.[/QUOTE]
Kind of hard to ignore it when random dipshits walk up to you and ask you about preferences, or to sign petitions. I always hate this sort of advice. It's just dismissive of antagonistic social behavior. I do ignore it, and tell people I'm not interested/to fuck off as needed. I can still bitch about it. There's way too many people who don't understand that most people really couldn't give less of a shit about what other people do. You do you, just leave me out of it. This goes for drugs, political views, religion, etc. Don't like what I'm saying here? Ignore it. I won't chase you down and bother you about it.
For pot in particular, the people that I've met who have legitimate medical uses for it (seizures and anti-nausea for cancer treatments usually), utterly despise the stoner community at large, and I share the resentment. Most justifications the guys who just reek of weed peddle have nothing to do with what they are really after. They just want an excuse to get high, and don't have the balls to admit that getting high is all that they want. So what if you want to get high? There's nothing 'wrong' with getting stoned in and of itself, and more to the point, it's none of my business*.
Stop pretending that you are on some moral crusade when I can smell you from 20 feet away. You're either lying to yourself, or you are stupid enough to believe that I'll believe you. It's masturbatory and crying for validation. Nothing more. If the potheads were honest with themselves, they wouldn't feel the need approach me in public and demand my acceptance.
*I think it becomes my business if your use of mind altering substances can impact my safety. Other than that, whatever.
I'm still voting for and in support of Donald Trump.

Do I have to go on about why he's a horrid choice for president?

It took me less than 5 minutes to compile this. He is the worst president since Jackson if you want him.

My girlfriend and I have a lot, and I mean a [I]lot[/I] to lose from a Trump election. Our lives could be ruined if even one of his plans is put in place.
I'm not a vegan, but the "that animal is already dead" retort feels like a really terrible argument against not eating meat on a moral basis, to be honest.
Yes, I get that going vegan isn't going to bring that one particular fella back to life, but regardless, it seems pretty ass-backwards retarded and inconsistent to just give into something that you supposedly consider to be morally reprehensible and support it.
No sane person is going to pay money to go see a movie that they consider to be terrible just because it's already been made and released before they were able to stop it.
I'm not a very competitive person so things like esports and "real" sports don't appeal to me
for videogames I much prefer a single player/co-op experience rather than some super comptetitive game like overwatch
although I do admit sometimes CSGO can be interesting, but the interest doesn't usually last

overwatch is really not "super competitive," at least in quick play

He could at least do what zilla asked and post why he's voting for Trump.
You just look like a dumbass when you just drop in some shit with no explanation.

People pretty much predicted this would happen with some Sanders supporters. They want Hillary to lose so bad, that they went with Trump. And to be honest, it's such a petty reason to vote for somebody, I'm having a hard time not saying stuff that would be considered flaming.
Why would anyone ever support Trump in any fashion?
At best he's an ineffectual populist narcissistic moron, and at worse he's an openly malicious bigot.

for the sake of being anti-establishment
I think this is an unpopular opinion, but Legend of Zelda would be vastly improved with the addition of character creation and the ability to play a girl.
I've been modding Windwaker for when I do a playthrough here soon, and I've been having a ton of fun altering Link to look like me by altering their eyes, hair color, clothing color, skin tone, so on, as well as for the game to use female pronouns. It just makes me wonder, y'know, why the fuck don't they just give me the option to do this in game? I don't wanna play the same blonde boy in the same goofy outfit every damn game.

hell even the time Link was pretty much the same but he had pink hair made him vastly more interesting to me because it was just something different

I think at this point it's just a matter of changing something already established.
If I give "my Link" pale skin and freckles and a big nose, I'm no longer playing as the Link that Nintendo has poured games and hours and years into. It's about expanding a brand, and you can't do that when anyone can make the main character look like anything.
And hell, they've even addressed the issue by giving us a female Link for possible future use(Linkle which, by all accounts is a stupid name, but I digress). That blonde/brunette/pink-haired boy in the goofy outfit is the brand, and it's gotta stay on however Nintendo wants it to keep it stable.
Instead of asking Nintendo to expand customization of a character most people identify on site by their features, ask Nintendo to make Zelda games with unconventional main characters so you don't have to play the same character over and over.

Conversing with him outside of Facepunch (we used to play a lot of the same multiplayer games) the general conclusion that I've come to is that he's just inexperienced in a lot of the ways of the world. Now I don't know how much personal details of his life he's made public on site, so I won't get into examples, but I feel as though his ardent support of Trump comes from the heart and not the mind.
I don't support Trump, and I think any learned individual who is not a devout right-wing old-world Christian would [B]not[/B] support him either. He represents too much of what America should not be moving forward.

See but I reckon you could completely sidestep that by making classic Link and Linkle the defaults appearances, much like how the default Shepard faces manage to be iconic.
I'd imagine that this opinion is more unpopular in the mainstream society in America than it is on Facepunch, but now that I think about it, it seems weird to me that genitalia and female breasts are considered offensive and have to be censored even though it's perfectly natural for people to have those body parts.
I'm guessing that the reason they're normally censored today is that a bunch of religious anti-sex people from centuries ago wanted to spite people who were sexually interested in dicks and breasts by arbitrarily making those two into a taboo, and the stigma just so happened to pass on from generation to generation up to this point.

I get that there are some benefits from neutering your cat like preventing them from getting anal/testicular cancer and other diseases, but I still can't get over how dystopian as fuck the idea of castrating your cat sounds.

it's mostly for the same reason why they get their front paws declawed, because cats in heat/cats with balls are messy, loud and hard to deal with
human needs go first i guess
cat sex is also really god damn painful since males have barbed scrotums and are actual rapists when in heat

Honestly, if I have to get someone to do that to my theoretical cat just so he doesn't fuck shit up in my house, I likely wouldn't bother adopting a pet in the first place.
I can't help but think that Nintendo's mobile games (excluding Pokemon GO) would benefit from Android exclusivity due to the existence of various bluetooth HIDs such as the MOGA, IPEGA... even SteelSeries and Razer their own mobile phone gamepads.

Oh yeah, I've heard about male cats having spikey penises. Sex would definitely be horrifyingly painful for the female cat.
And yeah, I get that from the looks of it, the benefits seem to outweigh the cons, but I still feel iffy about it even though neutering appears to be the lesser evil.

If Trump wins and either appoints a justice that deems the ACA in part or whole unconstitutional, or maintains a Republican majority in both houses of Congress that try to repeal the ACA, millions of people will lose access to healthcare virtually overnight.
A lot of lives would be (not just could be) ruined if exactly one of his plans is put in place.

it really isn't even evil at all. cat's don't like to be in heat. it's like having a really bad fever, i think
Here the way I see the world. Wanna make the world a better place? Start with your self.
A calm mind proceeds calm actions, calm actions proceed in calming others. Calming others gets other to calm others. Eventually the entire world gets righted.
If you want to end oppression and what not, turn inward. Right your self and the world will get righted along side you. Do any thing else, and you are creating hell upon your self and others. Your choice.
