Who's talking about tabloids I'm talking about the US bureau of statistics and every other US controlled financial organization Want us to pay your health care too
Here's how I see it - yes, Halo 5's multiplayer has a statistically positive rating, but why is that? Surely it isn't because a small population of pure blooded Halo fans have been watching the series **** itself for over 7 years and have grown more and more vocal about why they think it needs medical attention, while providing PAGES and PAGES and HOURS of video evidence. There must be another reason.. Aha! Hypothesis: 343 and Microsoft don't give a rat's ass, because they're trying to PUT A PERSONAL STAMP and EXPAND THE MARKET, respectively. Second part of hypothesis: The EXPANDED MARKET is essentially comprised of children (T rating), CoD fanboys, and "competitive gamers". Children and CoD fanboys are not only too stupid to understand the core mechanics of Halo (and which is why they complain about no sprint, no weapon skins, other AM memes), but they wouldn't even care about them come the drop of the next CoD or Minecraft content update. To boot, these are the ****ers that drive microtransactions in Warzone because they've got two hands in their parents' wallets, or even the ****ing security code on the family debit card. The PERSONAL STAMP is 343 screwing with the story, and getting dumbass writers to fuss around writing (pretty well done minus QuickTime) Chief X Cortana fanfic and following it up with like 4 different possible stories, all of which make the others impossible to be canon because of how stupid it was to market a game that you were going to have to release either broken or unfinished because in order to EXPAND THE MARKET you've gotta get those ****ing kids to nag their mom every thanksgiving for those sweet SantaBuxx. The most interesting tidbit is that the EXPANDED MARKET model must come into conflict with the PERSONAL VISION of 343 - and thus, Halo 5 was born. Prematurely, with a host of physical and mental disabilities, and we all bought it because we are WORSE than an abused wife: we are an emasculated husband, taking care of our irresponsible and heedless tramp of a wife's bastard children, all of whom give mommy an A+ because she has all the newest toys and never makes them do any chores or hygiene, while DADDY IS EVIL BECAUSE HE THINKS MOMMY COULD DO BETTER (we are daddy). I need to go to class to listen to pablum about John Rawls from a bunch of perniciousness pretentious postmodernist pre-law and biology students now. Goodnight.
I shouldnt have said it was nothing more than gambling, that was poor word choice on my part. I would say it is 95% gambling though. Yes, firms exist for the sole purpose of gaming the market. Some years they can be up 20% other years they can be down 20%. Berkshire Hathaway Inc is the most successful conglomerate and they only have an average annual return of 19%. You obviously need to know a little bit about a business before investing. It isnt hard to predict that Disney is going to become a more valuable company when they announced that they bought the rights to the Star Wars franchise. the /s I added is implying sarcasm calm down
I kind of figured. Most of my understanding of how it works comes from common sense and Schnitzel rants or you just quickly looked up that information to not come off like a dumb ass. I will give you the benefit of the doubt... for now
He used "haha adapt!" as an argument for spartan abilities... I think it's safe to assume that he knows nothing about anything. Also I think this is the part where he just starts ignoring. Works for me.
nice strawman Why are you always angry? And dont say its because of me, I've been lurking here for quite a while and you constantly have this super-defensive impetuous rhetoric. Sorry, I had no idea backing up my statements with facts was degrading to my arguement. But Its strange how that logic only applies to me and Not Xandrith. What the hell is a schnitzel rant?
Are you ****ing kidfing me. I've already offered statistics from the U.S. department of ****ing statistics. You first tried to argue that statistics don't matter, and omce you caught the drift of how ****ing retarded that is, you choose to ignore them all together. Also, I don't think you know what a strawman argument is, which is odd considering how much you use them. --- Double Post Merged, May 18, 2017 ---
You first tried to argue that statistics don't matter, and omce you caught the drift of how ****ing retarded that is, you choose to ignore them all together. I said statistics arent reliable when that is the only thing you are looking at when it comes to human nature. I feel like a broken record because I have said this 3 times now. Statistics alone, when refering to human nature, dont show the whole picture. Personal experiences alone also dont show the whole picture. Use them together not interchangably. Seriously, this is stuff you learn in English 101 lmao I shouldnt have to explain this to anyone here expecially 3 times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, who's excited for the Destiny 2 gameplay reveal in 29 minutes?
That would make sense if we were talking about human nature, but that's not even ****ing close to what the original debate was about. Statistics show that you can escape poverty easily in America,because 80% of people who are born poor do just that. Sure, there are and always be outliers that statistics can't explain, but I never argued that. As a general rule it is an indisputable fact that able bodied people can escape poverty if they try. You can continue to set up straw men, deny facts, or drag the conversation into some weird ass philosophical **** show, but you're as good as ****ing ruined as far as the status of your arguments go.
I was joking with that. I thought you would get it. The point was that you made it after speaking with such finality in it being nothing but gambling and then when I counter argued, you through out some numbers that anyone could find with a quick googling. Also, I wouldn't say the facts support your original statement either. I look at is as you correcting yourself. Which is fine. Not surprised it came of in such a negative way. Sorry about that I should have made it more clear. Secret Schnitzel is an economics buff and major who was perma banned here. He often talks about economics when you are in a party with him. Also, I didn't even realize we were only talking about there effect in the stock market. Since statistical information can be bought and sold for any type of business/political venture. One question and then I am done. If people are so unpredictable, why is propaganda so damn effective?
Just a courtesy suggestion, can we move the politic, statistics and all that stuff into a new thread? I can move the posts there if you all would like to continue this deeply well thought out conversations over to Off-Topic.
Believe it or not I am genuinely happy, I'm watching the Destiny 2 reveal with a silly smile on my face. I just don't have patience to write out novels for every jackass like yourself who doesnt know how to hold a train of thought so it's easier for me to blow you off.
Conversation with largerfiend: Guy: I really like my new car! LargerFiend: No because tire prices have rose exponentially in the last decade here's proof Www.strawmanlink.com
As i read through this mess while eating my ramen noodle for lunch because my job pays me enough to not qualify for food stamps but enough to have payed off college, buy a house, and support 3 others and 3 dogs; I realize I hate the majority of you but am pleased that all of your misguided opinions mean nothing to me man this ramen is salty
Go draw a map of Michigan before you say an opinion is misguided. I'll put you in an oven like **** if you don't.
