find someone who's good at making coffee, it shouldn't be tasting like dirt.
[QUOTE=Oizen;41992583]IMO Highschool is more demanding than most jobs.
At least with Jobs you can keep a "well at least Im getting paid for this" mentality. While in Highschool, I remember sitting there wondering "Why the fuck am I here"[/QUOTE]
you get paid with a diploma and scholarships I guess.
Facepunch tries to hard to emulate other sites like 4Chan and Something Awful, and that is not a good thing.
We always complain about people who "hop on the bandwagon" but people on Facepunch are always fucking doing it. Back when it was cool to be a militant atheist on, say, 4Chan, people on Facepunch acted the same way. At one point, wearing fedoras was perceived cool but suddenly people on 4Chan have a backlash against it and suddenly FP hates them. Even the actual "bandwagonning" of things was perceived as cool until people started to be like "stop hating on CoD your just on the bandwagon" and FP followed suit.
Basically what I am trying to say is, I think that FP has zero original content and few of the active users have an actual opinion or mind of their own. Most of them just follow what people on Reddit/4Chan/Something Awful have to say while constantly looking down on said people like we are some uber-fair and civilized people and they are uncultured pigs, when in fact we take almost everything we have from them and put out no actual content.
Posting on Facepunch isn't exactly something to be proud of.
Its on par with telling someone irl that you are from 4chan.

As sad as it is, this is true. However when you compare communities, Facepunch is by miles better than 4chan or Reddit.
Hell, we stole the SA emotes and all of the ratings (except Funny) are from an icon pack. Facepunch's layout is really pleasing though, I must say.
I hated the first Mass Effect game.
I don't think trust and respect should ever be inherent. Anyone who wants to be trusted and respected needs to prove they're worth it and won't fuck over whoever believes in them.

I don't think FP is inherently better. It's definitely far more user friendly however.

A certain amount of respect or trust should be given though. (At least general respect.) Most people have this shitty attitude of not giving someone any respect until they have been given respect first and that just doesn't really work out well when everyone has that attitude.

High School really isn't that hard compared to work.
I enjoy PewDiePie, Call of Duty, dubstep and I didn't see anything wrong with the 4th Indian Jones movie.

Hahaha are you 14? Have you ever even worked a day in your life?
I'd give anything to redo highschool and actually try hard this time.

Learn more so that you can make more money and eventually work less.
I hate dancing with a passion and would probably refuse to do it at gunpoint.

What kind of work are you talking about?
Some transgenders need to shut up why is it societies problem you hate your body parts. Worse is the ones who don't want to change their parts but get offended. I don't care you are wearing high heels until you have an op you are a man crossdresser or a drag queen. Piss in the urinal.
This place full of hippies
I don't like internet activists, its too easy to sit behind a monitor and try to force everyone to conform to your way of thinking.

You have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about and should shut up before you make yourself look even more idiotic.

The newer Simpsons episodes are still great. It's just not the same show anymore.

Definitely, and I actually dislike that attitude. It'd be better if people didn't go out of their way to be dicks to each other until they knew it was worth it (and I can't think of many instances where it is). What I really hate is when people think they're entitled to respect or trust because they either did something they think is important or hold some position of authority. Authority figures should [i]especially[/i] be required to prove their worth.

Exactly, I hate it when people in authority demand they need to be respected at all times, like how about you prove that I should respect you, if you honestly believe I should respect your just because your position of authority that just proves I shouldn't respect you at all. Like even if I lets say tomorrow entered a position of authority, it would be ridiculous for people to respect me just because of my title when I haven't done anything yet to show it. Plus I don't get the people who want respect just because of their position, wouldn't you prefer people to respect you because they like you/have seen you as someone to respect instead of having people respect you just because they feel they should have to?
Though I don't agree about the trust part, anyone and I mean anyone can do a 180 so I say just don't trust anyone completely, especially with important things. History has proven time and time again that trusted people if they want can easily back stab you.

Most forms of work.

Welcome to Tumblr.
I enjoy every new episode of Family Guy and I'd prefer Left 4 Dead 3 over Half Life 3 for possible future Valve titles; mostly because Half Life just never really interested me.

I guess another one is that I prefer to avoid FastThreads entirely but look where I am now :v:
The AdMech are probably descendants of the PS3 hacking community. :x

It kinda is, but my desk isn't fit for a full-sized desktop :x
Though, seeing that Micro ATX cases are a thing, i might just build my own Steambox.

I believe that people above me deserve my respect automatically, however they also must return it to keep it.
Mario is one of the least interesting franchises I can think of.
