It's not a question of whether we're animals or not, it's a question of whether that initial state is "good" or "evil" (whatever that may mean). For example Rousseau on the other hand thought that man was happiest in his natural state, that his motives were no less evil than an animal killing for food can be evil and that civilization introduced the enticement of sin.

Personally I think good and evil are meaningless constructs that are usually twisted to suit the intentions of the user. A debate on how they originate is therefore quite meaningless unless every one can first agree on what they mean.

Of course theyre meaningless, morality is little more than a social construct based on whatever the current majority thinks, but good luck having a stable society without it. People have to think their negative behavior will have repercussions, be they social or divine, or they're impossible to control.

Whenever I add a new avatar or sig to my rotation, I cycle through my old posts until they show up, just in case it didn't work for some reason.

I do that too!

High five, Markatie!

*Super late high-five because I had to work I'm sorryyyyy*

Bonus points if you have to find it twice just in case the first time was a fluke.

One of my favorite things is to drink like 12 beers and throw the cans behind me like a fat asshole

I've been harsh of some people's tastes a few times and I'm starting to think it's time to stop. I don't understand some tastes people have... but that's no reason to think badly of it.

Hey man, the fact that you at least regret saying it shows a lot.

Confession: I once accidentally killed a kitten. We were having a barbecue outside a few years back and I got up out of my chair without looking and stepped on it. Made me feel terrible.

I can't thank Obnosim enough for bearing with me there.

I'm glad you're back (unless you just came to say that before disappearing into the sunset).

I'm going to grab my horse I'm afraid.

Occasionally I am actively an asshole and it's probably because I like arguing with people.

Baaaaaaaad habit
--

I've been on this forum almost ten years and I feel like I have a lot to say and people to say nice things too and people to say less nice things too and I always come up short when it comes to how to say it.

I don't entirely feel like I'm not part of the community here, but I must admit that I often find it hard to post because I feel sorta like a relic. I think the forum was a very different place when I joined and I was a very different person. I always kinda wish some of the people in this forum that I love to converse with all existed in a nice lounge where we could shoot the shit and grab a coffee and stuff because I find it sorta exhausting to type out all my thoughts in a steady paced thread (especially when I get busy and don't finish a comment and say fuck it and just delete it.)

I guess all my life I've felt both unapproachable or easy to approach depending on the person, if that makes sense. I don't think of myself as too intimidating (I'm really a generally silly guy) but I do think people get intimidated by me, whether it's because of my looks or how I type or how strongly I feel feelings sometimes, iunno.

I guess I want people to know that I'd love to converse with people on here more, and that I appreciate a great number of you here quite a bit. I've watched you all come and go almost since this forum began, and it's very interesting to me to see how you grow and changed! I think I have too, and I appreciate having been able to share myself here with you guys, if only a little...

Anyway yeah, I wanna try to be less of a ghost around here, and I hope some of ya feel free to hit me up if you ever feel like chattin or PM me if you have a question or think I'm a dumb guy or need help or whatever!

I get easily infatuated, a bit more than I'd like. It kinda sucks actually.

I've got a somewhat similar confession to make. I'm most certainly a different person than I was when I joined and the forum has changed too, but I have to admit I always did feel like a bit of an outlier, like I always needed to justify my position whereas on some other forum I'd get understood more easily. Cultural differences maybe? Regardless, it gets quite exhausting and is one of the reasons it's time for me to move on to greener pastures. Combine that with my complete lack of filter + distaste for political correctness + dark sense of humor and you get a combination that doesn't sit well with some people and has lead to more than a few cases of "I shouldn't have posted that" for me. Doesn't come as a surprise I prefer image board culture anyway, even if I consider myself nicer than 90% of the people there.

But hey, I made a few buddies, so it's not all bad.
