All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

Speaking of PMs, anyone who wants to talk on discord, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up. Not as open to sharing info wherever with all the spam accounts that plagued my Skype and all the email fraud stuff I've been dealing with.

Beware I will either never shut up or be shy forever.

Also my presentation went well. A bit tired though. Not as much as I was last year, strangely.

MY BROTHER IS GETTING M A R R I E D TOMORROW EVENING
7 PM EST

they;re live streaming it

i would be there but last time I was in KY I was about to kill myself (which isnt hyperbole) so I crafted an elaborate excuse and emotionally damaged both myself and my mother, less so my actual brother and (AS OF TOMORROW) sis in law, so that I could never see KY again

So they're livestreaming it on Facebook. I'm so pop flyin' for them aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my favorite brother is getting married to a GREAT PERSON

So I have four siblings, in order we are:
Oldest sister
Older brother
Older sister
Me
Younger brother

Younger brother is the one getting wed tomorrow. Oldest Sister is married and her relationship is amazing and her two kids are AMAZING and my favorite nephews (and she's pregnant again). Older brother is married and his relationship is STRAINED because he and his wife are both absolute shit people, and their 2 kids are screamy shouty sticky animals and my LEAST favorite nephews. Older sister is... a long story. her taste in men is "they must be damaged in some way, also some kind of jerk, and definitely abuse that I care and follow so blindly because I am idiot". So she met someone online a few months ago and is making plans to MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO LIVE WITH HIM. Not visit him - move in. they never met in person yet. Little bro is getting married tomorrow evening and he is amazing and his fiancee is amazing and I adore them both and his fiancee is ALREADY my favorite sister.

And then there is me. single forever. basically my entire life. I've been on two ACTUAL dates, they both ended in disaster (the first one confirmed YUP DEFINITELY GAY, the second one was awful because the guy was like, some Filipino farmer who somehow ended up in Texas and i have no idea why i agreed to a date we had nothing to talk about or anything we could bond over at all except "this is awkward. i wish olive garden's breadsticks were... better." The peak of my love life was ages ago, and i'm too anxiety-ridden to meet people. I'm saying all this because if my older sister meets a half-decent person and gets married (or just into a long-term relationship) before me I'm gonna be so rustled.

ANYWAY long post over, continue scrolling.

So I final got a couple of my World of Tanks replays shown off in some compilations. One channel made fun of my username by labelling my replays as,"faggot_loves_minecraft" and sending the replay to either the gas chambers or the gulag, A.k.a., the recycle bin.

On two separate matches, another player recognized me based on this.

Overall, I'm pretty proud!

They sound like horrible people.

[LucarioLuvsMinecraft]

They sound like horrible people.

Nah. It feels good to get recognized for something.

Nah.

"faggot_loves_minecraft" and sending the replay to either the gas chambers or the gulag

I'm more inclined to go with "Yah."

[Kamak]

Nah. It feels good to get recognized for something.

Getting recognized for things doesn't exactly equate to happiness in the longterm though. Everyone seeks approval from others, but you have to be careful what kind of approval you are after. Being proud of being the butt of a joke for your name and the things you care about just because it means some youtuber noticed you isn't necessarily a good thing.

Be proud of yourself because of your own merits, not because of recognition by others who do not know or care about your feelings. You validate your own life, not anyone else.

Ultimately though, it's your life and up to you, but beware of falling in with people who give you shallow compliments or attention and do not care for the actual person you are. It's easy to fall into that trap and not realize the people you are around are not the kind of people who are looking out for your best interests.

Being recognized from someone publicly calling you a faggot isn't a good thing and I'm amazed that's something I have type and drive home to you.

[The Nightman]

Nah, they sound like good people to me. If faggot is your go to insult, then that clearly means you're of the highest intellect, and saying something belongs in the gas chambers is completely respectful of one of the worst events in history.

Yeah like

how the fuck is this supposed to be a good thing?

[Merchan]

Is Islam a cult of violence?

[[Citation Needed]]

Idk, are you bodaciously the most obvious troll we've ever had on this forum?

[Merchan]

Well, it's just that I keep hearing these things from its own scripture about how their endgame is to war against all kafirs (people who don't believe and worship as they do). Also, stoning gays.

[Cori]

If you are serious *YOU* are very ignorant and sad. If you are not serious, boooo get some new material. What kind of jollies are you hoping to get from this

[Merchan]

If you are serious that is very ignorant and sad.

It is.
plan against kafirs
discrimination against homosexuals

Oh yeah, there's also this guideline:

Quran (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." Contemporary translations sometimes water down the word 'beat', but it is the same one used in verse 8:12 and clearly means 'to strike'.

Quran (38:44) - "And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath..." Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir).

Well, a topic like this brings me no jollies, I was just wondering whether or not Islam should be classified as a violent cult based on its scripture and practices.
