  2. no that was random copypasta i put together, how the fuck did you decipher it? also @elbugopujo ur not funny mate learn to read
  3. I'd venture a guess that you don't go around telling people to fuck their mothers when you don't have a screen to hide behind, or that if you do the majority of people let it go because you're fifteen years old. If everything you've said is true, you might be an intelligent individual. If you think that grants you worth, or makes your opinion valuable to anybody but you, you're wrong. Being fifteen means you've never had to take care of yourself. You've presumably never known the fear, loneliness, and pain of addiction. I sincerely hope that you never do. Everything in your life right now, you can afford to take for granted, because you don't actually have to work for anything. It's handed to you. So here you go, attempting to prove how smart you are, to a stranger on the internet, because suddenly just being you isn't enough to impress. While I could do a point-by-point analysis of why your self-aggrandizing diatribe is meaningless to everyone but you, it would essentially feed your ego further to dissect your message, which was the whole purpose of writing it out in the first place. Your IQ proves nothing. Your bronyism proves less than that. Your self-reported physics knowledge is likely bullshit, but also useless in forming human relationships. Being a dick on the internet is easy. Actually being thoughtful, considering other people before you say things, and being willing to admit wrongdoing or at least try to examine a perspective besides your own, that's a task. But you can get away with just being a dick, and it feeds your sense of superiority (which clearly you possess, by the nature of your defense), because you can't defeat irrational insults with rational responses. So what do I think of you? Again, if what you said is true, you're an intelligent person, sure. But I think your casual willingness to be mean-spirited to people you don't know, who are gathering in a virtual space to discuss things that are important to them, outweighs whatever intelligence you have and makes you an unpleasant person to interact with. It would do you well to consider others, and also entertain the notion that you are not better than other people. Complaining that you are downvoted when your "advice" (the pedestal you built for yourself) is irrelevant to the thread you comment in, then being an outright asshole when someone explains that downvote -which didn't need to be explained at all- is confrontational at best, but in reality it's just dickishness. Which no one can prevent. But it's not something people have to put up with either. I feel like I've just wasted my time, because I think you are more interested in defending yourself than examining and discussing. That said, In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test. My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it. I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan). I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories. I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it. I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code. I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them. I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things. I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone. I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care. The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them. I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome. That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that). I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments). And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator. All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?

  6. While this is just a joke, it really hit home. I went to an art school with the hopes of getting a job in the video game industry, and applied for a program that was catered directly towards developing the skills necessary to get hired. "95% of our graduates immediately get hired in the video game industry!" After about a year and a half of going to this school, I discovered they were advertising on the Jerry Springer TV block. It was a shocking, horrifying moment in my life. I remember seeing all these diploma mill fraud campuses flaunting some feel-good bullshit about getting a job as an aide, associate, or consultant of some sort, and I ridiculed all of them and the idiots who actually went. And now here I was. One of the idiots. Our school upped their marketing and advertised like crazy, now appearing on bus stops and street signs in crappy neighborhoods. They were aiming at the lowest common denominator of humanity, the desperate, the struggling. I got to watch during my second year attending this school all the changes being made, the curriculum getting revamped, the good expensive teachers with knowledge and experience getting shuffled out and replaced by a slew of recent graduates who couldn't find work but was willing to work as a teacher on the cheap. Figure drawing courses were cut 75%, resulting in students having only one quarter of figure drawing experience instead of a full year. Educational software licenses for ZBrush and Maya were left to expire, forcing us to "acquire" them through our own means. The quality of the student body became dismal, turning our campus into a laughingstock of comically low standards, admitting the talentless, the hacks, the illiterate, not because they saw "hidden potential," just some dope they could sign up for their aggressive tuition payment plan. The downstairs computer lab was closed, so they could expand the student loans department. I toughed it out, hoping that my portfolio would let me shine and allow me to stand apart from my peers. My school wouldn't get me a job. It was all up to me now. The quality of education plummeted, the long-standing department chairs with decades of industry experience jumped ship, and my department ended up getting helmed by a notorious art director of a AAA videogame publisher who I would later learn was a complete disgrace and reviled across the entire industry for his awful work habits, vulgar attitude, and unprofessional diva nonsense. And he was pressing the students to be just like him, act like him, have the same expectations upon others that got him tossed and blacklisted. I graduated in 2007. The market crashed. Studios and publishers were closing left and right. A massive shift of the workforce was thrown into a tumultuous quantum state of indecision as the rogue wave of smartphones left the industry divided between developing for console or mobile platforms. Nobody wanted fresh faces, they wanted established talent. And with the closure of so many studios, there was far more established talent than fresh faces swarming linkedin and job boards. My only call back was from a desperate ploy on Craigslist. THQ needed QA testers. I did not go to college for four years and get a degree to be a damn QA tester, but I needed something to pay for the roof over my head, and I applied, hoping it would just be a temporary thing while the market sorted itself out. I remember walking into my first training session there, and being greeted excitedly by three old friends in there. These people graduated this art school the same year I did. It wasn't a temporary thing. I tried and tried, but the industry kept shrinking, the "entry level" applicants were all required to have five-plus years industry experience in that field, and I was only so lucky that I was really good at QA because it allowed my "summer recovery phase" to turn into a consistent four year long gig at minimum wage. And my fellow graduates and I kept crossing paths as we were shuffled from project to project, developer to developer, and after THQ closed, publisher to publisher. We met more of our fellow alumni, all in the same boat, all coasting well below the poverty line, and as we grew in numbers, we all discovered we all shared the same little anecdote of a particular phone call we would receive early into our foray in the QA department. We all got the call. Career services. They were checking up on us, seeing how we were. We would tell them it was horrible, that nobody was hiring fresh artistic talent, that they were either using long-established industry veterans or outsourcing all their work as contract labor to south-east Asia. We would do anything to get out of this stupid QA nightmare we'd flung ourselves into thinking it was our only option to getting a foot in the door. "Oh, so you're working QA!" The man from career services would cheerfully pronounce. "Congratulations! Glad you could find a job in the video game industry!" And then it hits us. The flashbacks all come roaring back. "95% of our graduates immediately get hired in the video game industry!" We were the 95%. We were the overwhelming majority of graduates that the school used to inflate itself and make itself sound far better than it was. We were collectively acting as the deceptive statistic that would trick impressionable young artists into giving that school all their money for a crap degree. I took the name of the university off my resume. I just said that I had a degree in the related field, then went straight into work experience. I scoured the Internet and found freelancing oddjobs here and there in other artistic fields like web design, interface design, and comic illustration. I put them all down on the resume. I wasn't a graduate of this art school, I was just an artist with lots of clients. It took a couple years of freelancing, and it was doubly hard work having to juggle it on top of the QA job to keep the electricity turned on, but doing so helped expand my portfolio enough that my education was irrelevant. My art could finally speak for itself, and I could take that dumpster fire of a school off completely to save space on the cover letter. I worked my ass off, taught myself new techniques that weren't taught in schools, and then started applying again. And for the first time since I graduated, it happened. A callback. For art services. I went in, and interviewed. I got to shake hands with an actual art director that was active at a AAA publisher, exchange contact info, talk about myself, and tell him what it's like to be a self-taught artist just working his hardest to hopefully ascend from QA. I unfortunately didn't get the job. But that doesn't matter. I got a callback. I'm making progress in the right direction, and my hopes are getting higher. My freelancing gigs on the side are also becoming more ambitious, as the jobs of creating buttons for websites and menu headers for restaurants has augmented into coloring comic covers for major comic publishers, and doing the background art for independent animation projects. If the video game industry doesn't want me, I'm already several steps into developing a portfolio for the comic and animation industry. I'm not there yet, I'm still among my fellow alumni still floating by at the minimum wage mark. But it's progress. The school lost its accreditation a couple years ago, I'm witnessing a surge of disenchanted dropouts pouring into the very QA department I'm in, and if there's any silver lining, I can at least assure them that they're not alone in their predicament. There are many like them. Many like us. But there is none like me. And none like you. I'm going to make it on my own, and they'll have to make it on their own. Because that's how I want to be remembered. The one who did it himself. I'm not going to be remembered as the 95%.
