Playing a tough guy in a movie, or an interesting guy in a commercial, doesn't necessarily make those actors tough or interesting.
What's general opinion on Bradley Manning?
Pretty clear he was the best quarterback to ever lead trinidad and tobago
Friend of mine just sent me this picture. She's the one on the left with her shirt still on. She won a fan content or something to get on stage.

I was telling her she had to watch 47 ronin, and she told me of course she would since Rick Genest is in it (the guy in the middle, with a full body skeleton tatoo).
This reminds me. My gf is a zombie in a movie. She got one of the better zombie extra roles where she had to attack one of the main characters and bites his finger off so you see her, looking like a zombie with a severed finger in her mouth with blood squirting out.
pics or gtfo
edit - Also Ashes in Manchester atm, gonna be great :D
It's called the zombie diaries.
Here's the YouTube trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fx3sfLhXow
Very blairwitchie. Just kinda lame to quote an unknown website like EatMyBrain.com during the trailer.
It's low budget, obv. I think it was the guys first movie but I'm not sure.
A couple of the girls went into a supermarket after the shoot in full zombie dress. They looked like they'd been in a car crash.
I'm kind of freaking out over turning 26 on this coming Monday.
Oh quit crying about it.
i'm not too keen on turning 24 in december either. mehhhhhhhhh make time go away. :(
(lol 20 somethings bitching about being 20 somethings, sure to be very well-received)
lol this.
i was getting eggs yesterday and the woman checked them for me at the register, and she was like, "I'm sure your mother wouldn't be too happy if you brought home broken eggs.", and i feel sad. how am i looking forever young? i was wearing my glasses yesterday, and boyfran said they do make me look a tad younger. so basically if i wear glasses i look 16, otherwise 18-19?
i feel sad and happy at the same time over this, happy cause i'll be really happy when i'm 50, sad cause who the fuck takes a 16 year old seriously, even if they're talking about serious things? what kind of therapist am i going to be if my clients can't take me fucking seriously?!
/whining
It's down hill from their ladies. Especially for you. At least as men, even if we're fat and bald we can get young hotties if we're rich. You ladies have no hope once you get wrinkly. Best you find a man or a career sharpish. (lol women and careers)
when is it ever not time for straight outta compton?
It will take me a long while to get wrinkly, since I have fair skin, don't smoke, stay hydrated, and don't allow myself to get burnt to a crisp, or think that I -have- to be tan to be attractive. I like to eat bacon, but don't wanna look like it.
So maybe another 20 years.
honestly, it's always a great feeling to surprise people when you open your mouth. Just focus on your intellect and how you speak, 'cause that goes a looong way in transforming how you come off.
lol do people really think you have to be tan to be attractive? so silly. i mean tan definitely has its beauty, moreso when you have some natural darkness I think, but healthy pale skin that's not pale bc it's deprived of nutrients is also beautiful. i mean, dita von teese is fucking delicious looking.
lol yeah, some people are stuck in the mindset of "tan is prettier!1!!11", maybe it's a rural southern thing, idk. I know I've spent too much money in my life caring about what others think about me, and I'mma just do what I think looks good on me. I'd look weird with a tan. I'm cool with my fair skin and freckles, finally. And oh gawd Dita Von Teese, yes. yes. yes. yes yes yes. yes. ungh yes.
Dita has an ugly face imo
really? I find her look to be very classic 50s. I do think her features lend herself to a cooler, more demure look though. I can see why people would be torn on her. She works for me.
http://snakkle.wpengine.netdna-cdn.c...-teese-GC1.jpg
i'm curious if you feel any differently about this pic of her.
Dita has a veeeeeeeeeeerrrrryyyy classic look about her.
She does her own makeup and hair, too. Bam. She's so damn attractive. I would put my non-existing penis into her va-jay-jay.
She's okay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdIp-c0ExO0
you have to admit, even if you don't find her particularly pretty, she is damn sexy.
nah, ugly. I'd need to be drunk to hit it unless she is extremely sexy, but even then I just wouldn't be interested.
I'd bang her in a heartbeat, it would be more correct to say that I wouldn't put in the effort to get her in the same way as with a woman I really find attractive.
I've found myself in situations before with a girl of similar attractiveness trying it on and basically just begging me to fuck her and usually I've done it, but even during I'm thinking wtf am I doing here. I prob would have done it when I was younger. Now I'd just say no thanks.
You've not been alone in a room with a girl who has a thing for you and is really drunk and finally revealing it? Especially a slightly insecure one (prob cos she looks like that) who's a bit slutty because of it.
I def know where you're coming from. I think this woman is above that threshold, but I guess that's subjective. I've both gone with it and been like "wtf am I doing...?" and turned it down. Turning it down is almost worse... Girls can get really weird when you turn them down, whereas most guys are just like "hey cool, onto the next!"
It really is a no win situation. I don't know how you get out of it without crushing her. Maybe "beause you're drunk and I'm a gentleman" kinda thing. But chicks aint stupid.
Although her face doesn't particularly do anything for me and I'm not into that whole style, she has a miles better body than the vast majority of women. So I'm calling bullshit on Rong, unless he provides pics that his gf is 9/10.
oh god i don't hear any other people in my head and i'm fucking terrified right now.
oh god i'm completely integrated, what the literal fucking fuck.
also - i love the pin-up look, fair skin and red lipstick on a lady. dita has a killer body, and has an amazing kitchen. to somewhat quote jenna marbles, i don't know if i want to be her or be in/on her
in/on her without question

Wasn't sure if this fits into the racism thread so I'll put it here.
I've been watching "Time Gentlemen Please" over the past few days and I find it quite funny how a program that's a satire of right wing men in a pub had an audience that is prodominently right wing men in a pub taking everything that's said literally and laughing at it. It's even funnier to see how in later series people criticize it for repeating jokes, for example one of the characters is constantly farting, when the joke was never "haha he farted" and it needs repetition to get the point of the joke :lol:
All that being said, it is really average anyway.
so today i listened to lana del rey for the first time and i must say this remix is pretty good.
that song she did for Gatsby was actually really good.
unrelated note. avicii's new album is just absolutely tits.
doubtful.
I like her, but her eyes look a bit weird.
It's not about 9/10 or w/e. For any of us with any girl sometimes they do it for you sometimes they don't. You could get an overall 5/10 that you don't particularly like but maybe there's something in her smile or her eyes that makes you attracted to her. The same thing works in reverse. You could get an overall 9/10 but there's something about her you find unappealing, maybe her smile reminds you of someone else who you have negative feelings about for some reason or other. Attraction is more complicated than we assume when grading women out of 10.
Meh, maybe I experience a luxury of choice that you don't.
rong is in a long-term relationship. when you live with somebody, a rating out of 10 based on appearance takes a back seat to personality traits. on a related note, my wedding is in a week...
would i start over to give myself a chance to land a super model?
no.
MAN my armpits smell NASTY. i should go shower.
You've confused me. I'm no longer sure if we're having the same conversation.
i'm talking about armpits now fwiw
dis. you can be hot as fuck, and as soon as you speak - loose all the attractive qualities in someone's eyes, imho.
everyone has different likes/dislikes about what makes a person attractive, some people wanna put their pp in a woman that is over 250 lbs, where others don't wanna put their pp in anything over 115 lbs.
where most of the time I'm only attracted to wimmens with fair skin/darker hair, I have found a few women that are a tad bit darker, and have blonde/lighter hair. I mean - redheads always win with me, unless they're tanned redheads that need to stay the fuck out of the god damn tanning bed, BUT, show me a pretty lady, and I won't deny that she's pretty, even if it isn't my "taste" in wimmens.
A pretty person is a pretty person, and a lot of time it also takes their confidence that really makes them shine, and become more attractive to you. Now, if they're just a conceited little cunt, then, that's where you want to bop them on the fucking head and put them in life time out.
The best though, is a woman that is 7-8.5, has intellect, confidence, healthy mindset on life, and can cook. Hell, with all that, she can bump her physical appearance up to a god damn 9 for me. Those wimmens are rare gems.
Titties.
This is so interesting to read. I think a lot about how non-conventionally attractive (or maybe just straight up not that attractive) guys can be really hot, but it never seems to work the other way around. But it's cool to read that it actually does, and that small things like the way someone smiles or carries themselves can make them way more attractive than someone who's more generically hot.
I'm the queen of liking non standard guys, which might be why I think about it so much.
I was profoundly (I mean... profoundly) obsessed with Maynard James Keenan from ages like, 17-18. It was all about the way he carried himself, the way he spoke, his ideas, his music, etc. But that also transformed his face, and I found him to be the sexiest fucking human being on the planet.
I have to wonder if there's ever been a similar instance like this with a guy crushing on a female celebrity.
Generalities follow.
Men mostly are attracted to women based on physical beauty. That definitely isn't all of it, as others have astutely noted, but physical attractiveness is by far the number one thing men look for in women.
Women are attracted to men for a variety of different reasons, and I'd say there is much more variety in what specific women look for. Here are some of the significant, common ones though IMO, again not in order and weighted differently in importance depending on who you ask:
physical stuff:
- height
- fashion and grooming
- physical beauty stuff like symmetry, healthy look, body composition, good teeth etc
social skills:
- good with people
- confident
- funny
- not awkward, creepy, or clingy
(mostly) career stuff:
- status and power
- income/wealth and future projections
I bet if Betty White came over for dinner, I'd put all my moves on her.
I've been on a fucking roll as of late and actually completed the trifecta in 36 hours all by chance. 3 different women all for the first time.
Yep, I'm one of those guys.
Been dying to say something to someone, why not FTR
Also, I think I am falling in love and may be moving to Vancouver within the next 6 months
Actually the island but same thing
trifecta?
Google gave options.
what if strawberries weren't red
So I like to think that I am usually a pretty good judge of things, but there was one past discussion here that I definitely got wrong. The subject was about how many five year olds a typical adult male could take out. I forgot the exact number I put out there and there were some details that made the hypothetical challenge a bit tougher than just what is written above, but I absolutely lowballed the number. I think part of the reasoning is that I am not really around kids much and I didn't fully realize just how weak and useless a five-plus year old human being is.
Ha, strange but I was thinking about this yesterday as well and coming to the same conclusion. 100 wouldn't be difficult at all.
Yeah, I mean, if they are zombie children who can use all their strength and not be deterred by pain, it's much more difficult. But five year olds freak out at very low thresholds of pain. An elbow to the head and they are stunned and out of the game for at least a few minutes if not down for the count.
I agree, but then that makes it near impossible to judge because strength tends to be limited by mind/will before the actual physical body, so does anybody know what a 5yo without that limitation is capable of
sources: mums lifting cars, retard strength
lol retard strength. Not that you said it, just that it exists.
Yeah... I think most 5 year olds are not cognizant of their own limitations 99% of the time. Boys especially so. Girls are a bit more attuned to fitting in with the people and world around them than boys at that age. That may give them a slight edge on being aware of their physical limitations. Not sure.
There's a good chance of tears on any given recess during a kindergarten class. This age group is frequently accidentally hurting each other while playing - simply because they are not thinking of the consequences or limitations of their physical presence.
But seriously. You don't even need to kill one of 'em if it's irl 5-yo's because once one of them is afraid of you enough to cry (just fake some rage; you only have to sell it to the weakest link), then another one just starts crying. Before long they'd all be incapacitated wrecks of fear and helplessness.
But don't be fooled. They always feign a frontal assault. Their REAL attack is far more gruesome.
They surround you only to set up a perimeter. They assault you with the induced cacophony of whining and screaming that initially led you to believe your task was simple. Now you see the folly of your over-estimate. You are surrounded by a sea of thousands of screaming bastards, and each one causes a slow drain on HP over a wide area effect. As the reality of your situation sinks in you start to run through the din. That's when you realize that you can't ignore the smell any longer. It slowly pervades your consciousness until you are wholly focused on the fecund stench assaulting you. This delirium drops your movement rate by 1/2. We haven't even considered the elite corps that leaves toys and diapers littered in your path to slip and trip over.
The combined effect is enough to drop anyone once they reach a critical mass. Be cautious.
BAHAHA, wp mmm
I really like evolutionary game theory. I don't know if that's actually a thing, but it should be. Basically looking at the constraint life gives us from an evolutionary perspective dictates how our emotions are formed and even how we think. Classic example: how much our parents love us is completely a function of our fertility. Of course this can change depending on a million different factors, but the average over a large enough sample size is very clear. Your parents love you the most when you become fertile, and then it slowly goes down again.
In game theory terms, the affection parents feel for their offspring is that which ensures the best possible chance at said offspring passing on their parents' genes.
I have to say it's very desensitizing to investigate the world this way. Instead of being mysterious, everything follows plain old logic.
JV wtf are you talking about regarding parents love and fertility? Splain please.
it's not so much a conscious "welp this is all I can manage" thing as it is it would be incredibly easy to break their willsQuote:
Yeah... I think most 5 year olds are not cognizant of their own limitations 99% of the time.
seems less like plain old logic and more like deciding there being a reason behind a theory makes that theory true
If you draw a graph of the amount of love a parent has for their child plotted against the age of the child, you will see that the graph peaks at the moment the child becomes fertile. I don't know exactly how they measured love in this experiment, probably a combination of questionnaires and behavioral analysis. Every case of a parent loving their child a certain amount in itself is unique, but looking at enough examples you can find the hidden average.
In the game theory approach we're looking at these facts from the perspective of what the 'optimal amount of love'-strategy would be for a parent. So as it turns out this is dictated by fertility, to ensure the biggest chance of reproduction for their genes through their kids.
You can apply this evolutionary game theory concept to anything. Our WW game is riddled with normal confirmation bias if you know how to look for it. Confirmation bias is also the best learning strategy in a situation with lots of incomplete information. Another one, peer pressure exists because observing the behavior of others in things we aren't sure about is the best strategy to make snapshot judgment calls. If 9 people say one thing, and you say something else, you're statistically very likely to be wrong. Because of this you'll feel strong peer pressure to follow what others are doing. I saw an experiment on tv with a staged group where everyone gives the wrong answer to a simple math question 3x6=? and often the test subject will go against his own better judgment and follow them. All the while seriously doubting her own math skills.
None of the above is stuff I thought up myself by the way. I'm just trying to make sense of it to be able to apply it to other concepts.
Ok, my mind is going strange places here I know. But I'm actually seriously considering to make a doctorate based on some such ideas, that is why it is on my mind atm. So I'm posting some stuff to hear what other people think about this.
Quantitatively measuring love seems much too difficult for the how it's done to just be swept under the rug like that. My second point of confusion is: where's the connection between my parents loving me "more" and the chances that I reproduce increasing, there seems to be a leap here. ie. why would "more" parental love help me fuck in the fronthole, to quote Doug Stanhope
Also it doesn't even make sense. From a parents love perspective keeping you alive whilst you are most vulnerable (i.e. a baby) increases the chances of you reproducing the most. What's the point of loving your child loads when they start being able to reproduce when a high % of your offspring die before they even reach that point. Especially when most young teenagers can keep themselves alive.
And let's not forget that giving birth is dangerous and used to kill a lot of women, so it's not like you can just have another go at it.
On your first point, this is everyone's normal reaction but I've looked into the details of all kinds of different experiments over the years and I've always been impressed by how accurate these kinds of measurements can be. You have to give scientists and researchers more credit. They aren't idiots, they know what they are doing and they know how to interpret results statistically. A 95% confidence interval for example only requires 98 people. And all of these studies are peer reviewed, it's not like it's one guy blogging about his ideas he contocted in his mother's basement.
How more love helps the child reproduce better? In the most extreme case, let's say a parent can only save one of two children from dying. She'll save the one she loves the most. In reality it's very rare to be that extreme but the same still applies in terms of subtle preferencial treatment. There are a lot of confounding factors mind you. Such as a mother spending more time with the child that is the most helpless implies that you can't measure "love" by the amount of time spent on the child alone. This makes it difficult to reason about these matters from incidental experiences alone. Just searching your brain to try to find one counter-example from your memories is a really bad way to go about judging such experiments. Just a general observation there because I tend towards doing that too.
From a purely cold strategic perspective, think about only having food to support one child while having two. The first is 10 years old and the second only 2. Which one will you pick to ensure the greatest chance of the remaining child reproducing? The one that is close to being fertile or the one that will take 10 more years?
Think of it as a computer game where you have to 'run a family' and the objective is to maximize your chances of your remaining kid having kids of his/her own. Like one of those simulation games where you only see numbers.
people are weird.
myself included.
all people are weird. in their own special little way.
Perseid meteor shower is happening tonight. As like the only person in the world to have not seen a shooting star I'm quite excited. Clear skies are forecast and I live quite far out from a big city so I'm hoping for a good show.
Sat outside for 10 minutes. Saw quite a few. Not the fireworks I was imagining but pretty cool nonetheless. Glad I've finally seen some.

@rong
No doubt people will tag the highlights at some point tomorrow.
edit - Just went out in the garden with my sister for about 30 mins, for the first 20mins or so we could juts see the odd one as there was loads of cloud cover, but after that we saw loads. Probably some of them were just normal stars and planes though tbf :lol:
I went to the library to peruse if I could find something that peaked my interest. I came home with 5 books about evolution.

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”
