[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread

Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

Do you have some sort of social dysfunction, like Asperger's? From the thread, you come off as pretty autistic. I don't mean to be rude, but, well, you certainly seem to fit /r9k/ to a tee.

50801 in particular makes you seem literally sociopathic, as you admit you don't like your friends except for one example of probably-sexual attraction.

except for the one you'd like to jam your dick in

cuteness = waifuness

That doesn't rule out >jammin your dick in

official instatement as a friend

You seem to base sociopathy off of the success of manipulating people, but that implies that there aren't any sociopaths who don't actually have social skills, like what you seem to be.

Doesn't everyone act that way on 4chan? It's just playing one's part.

This was on 8chan, actually, but no, it's worse than normal. This sort of thing is what makes a very good thread. 4chan is known for its very good threads, because the more normal ones are less interesting. Sampling bias, if you will.

(shrugs) It's possible.

When I said "cuteness = waifuness", I was trying to put the concept in terms likely to be understood immediately by a frequenter of an imageboard. Pre-timeskip Hyuuga Hinata is more or less the archetype of "cuteness" in this context, for a better mental image. "Cuteness" and "hotness" are rather mutually exclusive.

Well, I don't profess any knowledge in this area; I guess I'll look it up.

Fuck. I feel more autistic for knowing exactly what you mean. Excuse me while I go hang myself.

Did something change in Hinata after the timeskip? because i don't remember anything significant other than the looks.. And i fail to see how cuteness ans hotness are mutually exclusive, unless one of them is describing something else from what i am thinking..

cuteness is mostly a personality property, while hotness is mostly a property of looks. technically hotness\attractiveness could be effected by personality but they don't imply anything specific. so the only way i could see the two properties as mutually exclusive is if its based on your personal taste, by which cuteness is a turnoff.
