What's on Your Mind?

Recommended Posts

OMM: Finished Game of Thrones Season 1 in 3 days. Am planning to catch up to the rest before school starts. @Raki I think you were the first one who tried to convince me that GoT was worth it, but that was over a year ago :P 

 

@M.K. Casually avert your eyes...? That's what I do. Hating it without watching it is a bit unfair though. I don't know how it's like for your culture, but GoT does follow the Western high fantasy trend.

@Kid the Phantom Thief GoT is hardly a good source of education for the children. Even with a good historical base, the exaggerated amount of R18+ scenes isn't something I can justify. I found them to be generally shallow and surface, most nudity and sex having appeared in awkwardly cut and fitted scenes, but it does make it far easier to focus more on plot and world.

The show isn't based on the politically correct modern society we live in, and you can't expect it to run like one. These things happened back then in the medieval and dark ages, and indeed still do to some extend; it only adds to the realism of the show. It might sometimes be a bit exaggerated? I don't know, but if you watch Game of Thrones for the nudity, you're a fool. You've got the whole internet for that kind of stuff.

You know marriages between cousins was a thing back then, as well as similar close-relative marriages, and sibling-relationships was commonplace in at least greek mythologies (just learned about it this week lol, a bunch of gods/titans married their sisters, just like the Targaryens), and no doubt in some societies as well (don't quote me on it).

Anyway, to leave these things out for the sake of a few sensitive souls such as yourself is silly, and it makes for a boring story. We want to watch something that's different from what we know and are used to, and it being historically accurate is a much-needed addition to shows these days. Then there is the fact that you focus only on these few aspects of the series, when in fact there is so much more to it! The different characters, factions, the relations between these and the intrigue and plotting all add together to make one hell of a story/world! The fact that there are dragons, 'zombies' and magical gods, what have you! Come on, don't tell me you wouldn't enjoy it? Best of all, everything feels real, like it could've happened in the real life if our world worked a bit differently.

 

So yes, it's silly you feel that way about GoT. I'm going to pull the old card of "but you're okay with gory stuff?!" (I know you're probably not alright with that, but take 'you' in the more general form), because frankly, how is that more acceptable than nudity and sex? To put it simply: it's not. They're both realities of life, so why be the fool who hides it away? That's a thing we're good at here in Scandinavia; we don't hide away these sensitive topics for the sake of sparing some innocent eyes and ears, but rather we 'embrace' (for the lack of a better word) it to inform people of the realities of life that is sex, nudity, even rape and gore. It's not that we approve it, or encourage it, but what better way to prevent horrible things from happening than educate people in it? If we stay ignorant, how will we know how to act in these situations?

 

There is just so much more to it than you think.

 

Just take Lord of the Rings, for example. That's a nice and cozy family film, right? No nudity, no sex. It's all good, yeah? Except thousands upon thousands of people are killed throughout the movies/books, the Shire is being seized and enslaved (only in the books). The Game of Thrones is similar, only it's on a much more personal and realistic level in the way it's being conveyed, not betraying the fact that these are people too.

@M.K. I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss a show solely based on the fact that it incorporates explicit content (or even go so far as to say that you “hate” it), especially when you haven’t even given it a chance.

 

It’s a shame you generate this much animosity towards nudity and violence, because there are a ton of thought-provoking films and shows out there you’d be missing out on if you continue judging them through the same lens.

Once you do something, you cant bring back what's done and gone.

 

Not all presidents are scared by media and critics. Some of them even able to made critics and media shut up. I don't like HRW by the way and I favored capital punishments for drugs, terrorism and planned murder. Religion and Human Rights cannot save someone from capital punishment if he/she is guilty.

 

Drug cartels and terrorists may have high-tech arsenal too.

 

Right here in the Phil, I'm kinda scared here that our President might get deposed from his position since almost every media outlet is attacking him and like the Church here too have a negative view towards him. Western Media and U.N. are starting to take notice and is portraying him as some sort of murder machine and as I said, he was already given alot of warnings. The people tho have a really really positive view towards him so I hope he doesn't get removed from position coz I have really high hopes in his leadership.
 
Actually yeah, since most drug lords are really rich, they tend to have private armies and maybe even weaponry you wouldn't think that they would have. As for terrorists, I don't really think so. They tend to use more practical weapons like poisonous gasses or home-made bombs or they steal tanks or weapons from armies which you'll hear in news sometimes. I mean the fact that they don't have really any big constant business going on that gives them stable income pretty much prevents them from acquiring high tech weapons. But I dunno, I'm just logicalizing things so I'm most likely wrong.

On my mind : Naruto anime is gonna end on 8th September. I dont know what to feel :(

What about me? D: Pardon me my Lord, that I hate the show that you love D: D: Please don't send me to hell.

 

@Kirsch - I think I have a really really low tolerance towards these stuff as compared to you so hats off to you madame that you are able to watch it. It just makes me unconsciously uncomfortable even the slightest of it for no reason at all. As for hating it, read my reply on Kenzi, if you wanna see through my own eyes and kinda get a bit of understanding of my side. (Just don't open the spoiler inside the spoiler :V)

 

Also, I have watched shows/movies like that before LotR being one of that which I freaking love. Actually you should be able to take LotR easily if you are able to watch GoT.

 

On My Mind #1: I'm really thinking of investing on Stock Market after my older Brother introduced me to the concept and he like urged me to invest as soon as possible to maximize things. It's just that I really wanna financially secure myself when I like reach the age where I feel like not working anymore and also in case of emergencies. I know it's a long shot to plan right now since I'm still really young but like being a drop out, altho I might still go back and get a degree someday, it's such a risky life and there's really big chances that I might fail miserably in life. Plus, eventho let's say that I kinda succeed, things can suddenly turn around at you and anyways, I'm such a risk taker. So like, it's still good to have that buffer money that is completely mine that I can just remit if really needed.

 

I mean I know I could just save up money in the bank instead but thing is, compared to that, investing your money in stocks will make it grow exponentially albeit really slow as time passes by with little maintenance as compared to just stagnating it in the bank. Altho, there's some risk to it but like it's really low.

 

To anyone reading this, I actually urge you to do the same. The concept of investing long term in stock market and maintaining your stocks is not that hard to get and to do as long as you know basic math. There's tons of articles and videos explaining it and as far as I know, you can legally invest around 18 or 21 depending on where you live but , you can ask your parent(s) or guardian(s) to invest for you if you are younger than the legal age. (Warren Buffet, a billionaire, invested a penny at age 11 and just reinvested and reinvested)

 

Thing is, it's way better than saving up money in the bank coz as I said, your money will grow with time thus completely removing the strain of saving up more money that you earned the hard way. You can just originally invest like 1000$ when you are 18 and never invest anything more than that and most likely when you reach 40-50, it would reach around a hundred thousand to a million unless you take out money from it when it was growing and not reinvest anything back or are just really unlucky and stupid. I recommend you to do it for the primary reason of long term commitment of saving money for emergencies and retirement not for other short term reasons like doubling your 1000$ in a month coz you'll mostly fail miserably. If things go well and you are patient, you wouldn't really need to worry about failing in life in terms of finance coz you have something to pull out from if things don't go well.

 

(It's not gambling btw as oppossed to what people say. :V It's hard to explain but Stocks/Share is a concept of ownership in Business. So like if I buy even 1 stock in Microsoft, I can legally say that I'm an owner of Microsoft to some degree.)

 

On My Mind #2: Captain Jack Harkness, you sexy man. Why did they remove you from the show? D: Anyways, just finished DW awhile ago and I can't wait for the new season which will be next year tho :( EDIT: All in all, Doctor who as a whole is really depressing. It portrays the life of an immortal being doomed to be the guardian of the universe. It really changed my view about immortality and death. It showed how it can also get tiring to live if you lived for a really really long time and how sad it is to see everyone you know and love die before you and how it's just gonna repeat over and over again if you are to live forever. So, I guess yeah, I affirm now that death is what basically makes life "beautiful"

 

Anyways anyways, I have enough motivation now to watch the classic who since I really loved the show and the Doctor. It has like over 700+ episodes from what I heard so just enough to get me by till next year. Yay! xD

On My Mind #3: Gahd. I have a dandruff infestation. My scalp is so itchy D:

No one can remove him from his position as Philippine citizens had positive view on him. Media and UN have weakness as they cannot interfere a nation's sovereign rights, and the latter'll attack them back.

 

In Indonesia, the police are allowed to shot drug dealers if they resist on the spot.

Well I hope so but the fact that the media has been furiously antagonizing him, theres definitely a possibility that he will get deposed and theres nothing the people can do about it.

 

Well its like that here now. Before you can just run away with big chances of never getting caught again

I don't think so as the media can't 'antagonizing' some country like Russia, Iran or et cetera as they'll counter antagonizing them with their own media if they did. The journalists do not have nerve to come to these countries and any media who antagonize Duterte will regret their decision.

Yeah. He's a bit like if you don't stop then I have no choice but to stop you kind of person but sometimes he never follows through coz he still really respects the law since he used to be a lawyer and it's so easy for him to get removed from position by the senate or the supreme court in here  if he starts acting like a complete dictator coz it's definitely against the law in here. So, he can't just do any "dictatorial" way to shut the media off. Plus, personally, to me, I would want him to respect the law coz it's the law goddamit.

 

His tactics is a bit more on using "words"/psychology to scare off his critics or anyone he wants to scare off. Basically, he plays mind games with them like there's this thing going on here, where there is this senator who is really critical of him since day one who recently, he started attacking relentlessly (after his warnings to stop attacking him) by revealing that that senator has some alleged involvement with syndicates (alleged=not yet proven) and he accused the senator of having an affair etc etc. The senator broke down after that (she's even portrayed crying by the media) and started accusing the president of being really really unfair towards her and that it's an attack on her dignity.

 

He's basically your worst nightmare to pick a war on if you care about your dignity, being respected and accepted by people. Coz on him, on the otherhand, he doesn't feel the need to be dignified.

 

As for Putin and his Russia, as far as the west is making him look like a devil, I've found no reason to think that he 100% is. He only does things for the interest of his own people so you can't really hate him. He is really really well loved by the Russians and anyone who did some research on history of Russia/USSR knows that when the soviet union collapsed, the country was almost in the brink of extinction for awhile but when Putin came in to power. He really rebuilt Russia and made it to what it is today. On the Crimean annexation, for example, if you are only skimming the news and you have a biased view against the Russians, you would think that they are the oppressors here. But if you actually do some bits of research, I know alot of people who is reading this might be surprised on this but most Crimeans wants Crimea to be part of Russia. So it's really not right for the west to care about this. I'm like "Hey, these are the guys who is pushing "democracy" on global scale yet they can't even respect the choice of the majority".

 

I'm not praising Putin here or anything but it's definitely not fair for anyone to view him as completely evil just because everyone you know says so without doing any sort of further investigation on what he actually did on his political career.

 

Anyways, I'm going in tangents haha.

On My Mind: Hmmm.... I found out that Russia relies on oil trade to power it's economy that's really interesting. And then you have China and alot of other Asian economical powerhouses, on the otherhand, who relies on manufacturing. And then you have the Middle East with their oil too. I'm seeing some sort of big picture of what might be going on here. Holding other countries by their necks? CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY :P

 

Nah. I'm probably just thinking too much. I'm paranoid and an overthinker sometimes. D:

 

On My Mind #2: Just heard that Putin supports Trump. :3 Also, I just wanna clear out that altho I don't really give that much crap on American Elections but I just wanna say that I don't like Trump but I wouldnt go far on saying that I hate him. I can see the rationality on some of his views but only some.

I had a friend from Russia who knew several Ukrainians and they said that they hated the current government.

 

By the way I decided to stop talking about politics because it's less interesting to talk about it here.

OMM 1: Persona 5's finally out! 

Image result for i've been waiting for this akihiko

it won't be released in NA until February, but I've been looking forward to P5 since 2014 and knowing the wait's almost over is very  tumblr_m42qtuDuo21r58lid.gif 

spoilers maybe: I really like Goro's all out attack screen. What little we saw of his character seemed so chill and calm, for lack of a better way of putting it, but he has the biggest smile in his AOA. All the other characters are posing in their AOA screens, so I find it really interesting/amusing that the arguable most bland party member has the most dynamic AOA. And his phantom thief costume is ridiculous, but it's ridiculous in a good way

 

OMM 2: tfw new phonetumblr_m7wuvmb5Vl1r17mw1.gif 

I'm going from an iphone 5c to a galaxy s6 and im very excited. Assuming the tracking's not off, it'll get here in a day or two, and tumblr_m7wxg1Achq1r17mw1.gif

On My Mind: Just finished Mr. Robot. It was freaking awfully average. And like, I thought it would really be good but it was bad. I mean it was marketed as a show about hacking and taking down Evil Corp but like what you would get is more the drama and the culture around it and the trying too hard inception-style thema which is awfully scripted and executed and doesn't cut right through and it's all over the place and like 5% of the show is only about the planning and hacking the Corporation. Midway around the first season, it was a drag watching it and I just finished 2 seasons for the reason that I already downloaded and I had no choice but to finish it. It's overhyped and overrated for me after watching it, probably rated high, coz it's a Freedom-oriented American show, no offense. On the otherhand, I started watching Sherlock and the first episode was a huge relief from Mr. Robot. It was really good. *fingers crossed* I hope the show won't let me down.
