When I was in high school, my classmates went into an argument, "If you were seeing a near-death murderer, would you save him?" some said Yes, while some gave a big No. I was in the "yes" group. The other side asked "What do you think/feel if he kills another person in the future?"

Any answers from you guys?

Basically I'd have been in the no-group. I may sound harsh, but I believe that once a person murders one or several times, they become incompatible with the society, and their existence itself puts the society in danger, and for the sake of it, the murderer has to be removed. Which means executed, or sentenced to forced labors. So if I were seeing a near-death murdered, I would just let him die, for the sake of the balance and the stability of the society I'm living in.
I'd like to read your opinion on the subject too Oliver, why would you save him ?

I will anser your post later Anon, I currently am quite busy and I want to thoroughly answer it ;)

I'm gonna eat right now, enjoy your lunch and have fun here guys !

Now I remember the manga that I've read before, where the girl had amnesia too and she saw in her phone the pictures of her and her gf.

I think you're talking about this one.

Cute story, I look forward to reading more. Tamamusi's art really improved though. She never disappoints.

@Suosiki

I didnt say that Nietzsche was pessimistic. I liked his reflection on religion, and the idea of humans being responsible of their own destiny is really pertinent and I firmly believe that. I said that I have a pessimistic vision of life. Saying he wasn't nihilistic is, from my point of view, wrong. Basically nihilism states that existence is meaningless, but it doesn't imply that we shouldn't try to improve our lives for all that, even if it denies moral values. Nietzsche wasn't cleary as pessimistic as he looked, and I'd rather consider him optimistic too, but saying that he wasn't nihilistic seems inaccurate to me. He clearly was at least a little bit nihilistic. I totally agree with the rest of your post tho'.

That said, I tend to avoid manicheism, I don't think humans are evil or good. I think they are .. moldable ? That everything depends of the education and of the valors you will inculcate them.

Thanks for searching. I prolly will purcharse the two you found.
I look forward to owning Barash too, I hope I'll be able to buy/watch soon tho.

I like your point of view for the ancient philosophers. I myself really love Epicurus's philosophy (Joy before anything else, and I think Galich's "flood" was fitting his philosophy quite well, since posting here makes her feel better ;-p) , although I like all old greek philosophers. I like the quote as well. Strangely enough, he ended up getting arrested, imprisoned and poisoned, although he could have escaped...

Pascal was interesting until the moment he got into religion. Pascal also considered that animals were soulless beings, and that's something I can't get on board with. You have a beautiful little dog, you must understand my point of view. Although Pascal was really clever, he even made one of the first calculator, the pascaline. (dunno if it's the same word in english, used the french one.)

My favorites, uh. Well, in first place comes Nietzsche. I basically agree with his entire philosophy, and I myself have a nihilistic vision of life. I won't talk too much about religion here, but I share his point of view about the inexistence of God (and of any form of supernatural; I think everything on earth can be thoroughly explained with science).

I also really like Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard, basically because of their pessimistic and accurate vision of life, and their pertinent way of thinking. Schopenhauer considers life as something absurd, since there's no reason of existence but the existence itself. I completly agree with that so..

I also find Michel Foucault's philosophy very interesting, his view of sexualty. He was dark and pessimistic too, and his philosphy is basically, quoting mr Bourdieu, "a long exploration of transgression, of going beyond social limits, always inseparably linked to knowledge and power". (thanks for the english translation, wikipedia). The idea of transgression, and the quest of knowledge over the rest is basically my way of thinking so. (I'm not an anarchist tho .-.).

Guess it was a big post ? I'm glad I brought this topic tho', it's always interesting to talk about "intellectual" stuff here from time to time ;-).

I like your avi Rye, RIP Elemental hero stratos.

CCL you still can become a steam trader in games like CS:GO and TF2 in order to make some money.

Anon

Thank you for the link ! Unfortinately, the one I really am dying to see is Barash. Seems like it really can't be found atm sob sob

@Zuljin I don't hack in OW tho', I tend to avoid hacking on expensive games, plus their anti-cheat system seems pretty accurate. (Although OW was fun but it kinda left me indifferent, I did not find it as great as my friends told me).

As for GW2, I guess one month is a bit short, the games begins to be really interesting once you reach the highest level. Although this game is way funnier to play with (RL?) friends. I didn't play GW1 that much tho, but I prefered the PvP of GW1; GW2's is unbalanced, and the community tends to worsen over time.

Agreed on Firaxis, their Beyond Earth was kinda meh, but Civ V remains of one my favorite "recent" games so. I don't play much now though, I really dropped the "hardcore gaming".

I get your point of view for the 90's games / early 2000's. Total Annihiliation and Cossacks remain some of my favorite games.

^
Seems rather aggresive o.0
Well, I don't use them on every game, I was kinda emphasizing. Well I basically use hacks when I get bored of the game, it adds some fun. I know it kinda ruins other players experience, that's why I'm totally ok with being banned, and I don't hack in ranked games either. Let's take an example, when I came to get bored of Guild wars 2, I started using a fly hack to reach non-explorable zones in PvE. it doesn't bug anyone, doesn't give me any advantage, it just made exploring the map funnier. (I took some amazing screenshots at some unreachable places and even brought other players to them so they could take stunning pics too).

Idk if you're familiar with the game, but here are some examples

slowly dying is the worst D:

Especially when you feel like being in an oven .-.

Guess you managed pretty well, you seem like the [over] joyful type at first glance ;P

My way of dealing with flamers : Muting them and reporting them.

Hack is love, hack is life. (I guess it shows on my Steam profile aswell T_T)

On a side note, anyone knows where I can find : Barash, Broken Gardenias and Margarita with a Straw ?
It can be either in streaming or in DVD, as long as it's in english / eng sub.
I'm dying to see these lesbian movies X_x

I am slowly dying atm è_é

Anxious ? Are flamers that numerous on Smite ? From my experience, the community is decent.

That said, as long as you have fun, the mode you play in doesn't matter :P

I wonder if there are good hacks on Smite ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

last edited at Aug 26, 2016 9:55PM

Well, I was a cheater so, that's only natural ^.^ Although scripting is hella fun.

You don't play in PVP ? That's the best way to improve tho :P

Looks like I guessed right psychic skills intensifies

You struggle at 17c !? Here in my room it fucking is 37C ! You'd have already died lmao.

last edited at Aug 26, 2016 9:39PM

So you play Smite ? I used to [very casually] play it too like, a year ago ? But I was a noob and I was too busy with LoL at that time (the good old times, when I wasn't banned sob)

I really enjoyed playing Fenrir tho, this char is so badass and I like his moveset.

"chilly nights" I wish ;_;

Well, I don't know where you live (England maybe ?) but it possibly cannot be worse than here, in Paris, in my room. I am suffering X_x

I'm envious of you guys, it's been three nights I can't sleep because of the insane heat. I really envy your chilly nights, don't waste them !

Goodbye mate, sayonara

uses hara-kiri
it's super effective

Oh my, wait wait wait, slow down a minute.

Are the cornerstone-members of this thread starting a quarrel .. over something that trivial ?
Or is it some kind of feminine humor the crude male Utoptia can't get ?

Where's the joyful ambiance of this thread ?
Let me introduce a subject then !

Something I've been wanting to talk about for a moment ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), who are your favorite philosophers ?

Edit : I finally managed to transcend the almighty Galich, I opened a page !

last edited at Aug 26, 2016 8:09PM

. Do notice that all of those less than deeper posts were directed to someone and had a response from someone, so it wasn't just me flooding the thread.

Guess the evil CCL, Kitty and the skinny Utoptia are also at fault here .-.

(and here I am again, shitposting too)

^
Prolly a secret conspiracy against the cafe, we're in danger, the yuri is in danger.
We got to defend this place !

take up arms

@Anon99 I suppose you do have a point. The main reason for it I can see is that most of "meaningful" conversations that I had recently with Internet people were off thread where I had the occasion to "steer" the topic into the direction I had on opinion on, and recently it's mostly been "shitposting". Kind of hard to start talking about something ordinary out of the blue, I just tend to go with the flow.

Apologies if I sound too harsh, I'm just completly worn-out mentally.

tl;dr mostly my fault that the cafe became a bit too elitist, apologies for that. Will try to come back to the old Gaich when a right topic comes out.

You're too harsh with yourself. Just don't worry and post whenever you want, about whatever you want.

@ CCL

That's always the best moment – the moment you arrive at your destination and realize that you forgot something ^^b

Does anybody else have this happen in their dreams a lot?

Very often I'll have a dream where I'm travelling, but I left something vital at home, so I make plans to return home and come back (usually in less time than would be possible IRL), but I never do manage to get back to my original destination. I wonder what this says about me, other than that I'm even forgetful in my sleep...

Basically this is the story of my life, except that it happens IRL and not in my dreams. I've forgotten countless times my wallet, my keys and ... having my head in the clouds constantly sure is hard T_T sob sob

Hoorah, an age-gap story without Drama or a Manipulative member of the relationship, it has been too long since the last!

Not really atm.
But fluffy age gap are always, always welcomed, totally agreed.

@Everyone

'sup guys ?

Galich opening a page, how surprising

If you're not by our side .. that means you're against us Zuljin

Prepare yourself for the battle

Great art, was a hot and nice read.

Wish I could get more.

edit : Managed to write less than Galich. I deserve a reward !

On a side note, I used to wallpost, but it's really hard to read. I prefer shorter messages, even when writing on Steam etc., Utoptia can confirm.

Shorter messages is an understatement; she barely writes more than one word per message .-.
But Utoptia can confirm it.

Double posting like that, you'll end up summoning the final boss of this site.

u guys r mean ;_;

So much flavours in this world and we choosed to be salty ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Still salty about not opening the 100th page.

What to say.. quality over quantity (¬‿¬)

Says the 567 posts, with the majority of them having something like 2 lines ?

The Kitty sure has a good sense of humor ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

They're genderless

So they'd be a legendary pokemon ? C'mon, you're givin em too much credit !
