>gf not pictured

Yeah, Three Billboards just came out and it feels like a movie everybody should see but they aren't because capeshit is strangling the life out of cinema.

internet and porn is the base of all modern evils

topic hidden because its boring as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

His wife killed herself 2 days ago. Her name was August Ames.

What kind of man can sit idly by while his wife WIFE gets railed by negroes for her "job". It's bad enough when they WERE a pornstar but to let them continue is absolutely disgusting.

How is that any different from making stupid memes from movies you don't even like so you can shill them for free on an anonymous image board?

Why are young men retreating into consumerist and "geek" culture so much? Why are they so interested in properties that were made for children?

I also wonder what the (((reason))) could be.

Atheism feminism and estrogen

Men today have lower testosterone levels then ever before.There is something in the tap water.

It's safe and easy. Gives a sense of community. Women are equally retreating into Disneyshit.
Escapism was a mistake.

wew

Men used to have religion, wives, and friends
Now they don't have any of it, and will be replaced by those who do

I don't know what to believe anymore

Whos august ames, some pornstar?

Yes.

It's ruining society in general

>Here, honey, a new video card for you to edit my interracial anal scenes! And a comfy chair to sit in while you do it ;D

Being belittled incessantly for anything vaguely masculine

I unironically agree with Simon pegg, but isn't he a massive hypocrite for contributing to much of it and wilfully participating in Star Trek etc?

How did she die?

>he says while incessantly belittling other men for what he perceives as nonmasculine
neets truly have no sense of self-awareness.

Rate his battlestation.

When exactly did I do that?

>my gf is a depressed heroin-addicted suicidal whore who gets gangbanged by niggers but hey at least she buys me kiddies video games with that money

She killed herself because she was a whore

Suicide after getting cyberbullied for refusing to work with gay men

Sacrifice to Ixtab, the most noble death and contributes to everlasting peace in Xibalba.

Bullied by sjws for not doing a scene with a gay porn guy

Is that tweet real?

>inception pc
>manchild lights
>Premiere a shit
5/10

why did he put his pc in a fridge? also we sure the husband didn't kill her because she was going to leave him? since you know thats literally the most likely scenario

Probably. She always gets high on meth and shits out comedy gold on Twitter

Ill tell you how she lived

>every time you use your computer you are reminded that your wife sucked 20 nigger dicks to pay for it

He is a hypocrite, but aren't we all? Being a nerd/geek used to be counter-culture and marginalized, now it has become the norm and there's an obvious decline in quality due to how those kind of movies are made now (used to be made on the down-low with low budgets and no studios expectations; now execs have realized they're the big money makers and make sure the products are as broad and safe as possible, pandering to normies and women, filtering out all voices that don't conform, etc.). You can still be a fan of scifi or fantasy and still be aware of the industry changes in how those kind of geek products have gone from creative-driven to purely profit-driven, Pegg saw Wright's sincere attempt get BTFO of Marvel for Ant-Man for example, and I'm sure part of this frustration is also him getting older.

I have a soft spot for some of these pornstars. For many of them it's all they know, and the only thing they are good at. Sure there are some who genuinely enjoy the work and found their perfect job, but it's sad thinking of the girls who fell into porn purely because they had a shitty/non-existent family and circle of friends.

Her BLACKEDRAW and new Brazzers stuff was great. At least she got JORDId.
RIP

>tfw was a huge nerd as a kid
>bullies and picked on
>it's now cool to be a fucking nerd

Fuck anyone who has overlap of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, capeshit, etc. Typically they're scrawny lanklettes with tumblr girlfriends.

I'm still a huge fucking nerd as an adult, but that shit is mine.

the idea of our prolonged youth is something I’ve been interested in for a very long time. It’s essentially what Spaced was about, at least in part.

One of the things that inspired Jessica and myself, all those years ago, was the unprecedented extension our generation was granted to its youth, in contrast to the previous generation, who seemed to adopt a received notion of maturity at lot sooner. The children of the 70s and 80s were the first generation, for whom it wasn’t imperative to ‘grow up’ immediately after leaving school. Why this happened is a whole other sociological discussion: a rise in the student population, progress in gender equality, the absence of world war; all these things and more contributed to this social evolution. What fascinated Jess and I was the way we utilised this time. For Tim and Daisy, not having to grow up in the way their parents did, simply meant a continuation of their childhood. For Daisy, it was the pursuit of her girlhood dreams and fantasies. For Tim, he channeled his childhood passions into his adult life, cared about them as much, invested in them, the same level of time, importance and emotion. His hobbies and interests defined who he was, rather than his professional status.

In the 18 years since we wrote Spaced, this extended adolescence has been cannily co-opted by market forces, who have identified this relatively new demographic as an incredibly lucrative wellspring of consumerist potential. Suddenly, here was an entire generation crying out for an evolved version of the things they were consuming as children. This demographic is now well and truly serviced in all facets of entertainment and the first and second childhoods have merged into a mainstream phenomenon.

>I don't wear nerd merch

Star Wars is for normies and has always been for normies.

Recent developments in popular culture were arguably predicted by the French philosopher and cultural theorist, Jean Baudrillard in his book, ‘America’, in which he talks about the infantilzation of society. Put simply, this is the idea that as a society, we are kept in a state of arrested development by dominant forces in order to keep us more pliant. We are made passionate about the things that occupied us as children as a means of drawing our attentions away from the things we really should be invested in, inequality, corruption, economic injustice etc. It makes sense that when faced with the awfulness of the world, the harsh realities that surround us, our instinct is to seek comfort, and where else were the majority of us most comfortable than our youth? A time when we were shielded from painful truths by our recreational passions, the toys we played with, the games we played, the comics we read. There was probably more discussion on Twitter about the The Force Awakens and the Batman vs Superman trailers than there was about the Nepalese earthquake or the British general election.

The ‘dumbing down’ comment came off as a huge generalisation by an A-grade asshorn. I did not mean that science fiction or fantasy are dumb, far from it. How could I say that? In the words of Han Solo, “Hey, it’s me!” In the last two weeks, I have seen two brilliant exponents of the genre. Ex Machina and Mad Max: Fury Road, both of which had my head spinning in different and wonderful ways and are both very grown up films (although Max has a youthful exuberance which is nothing’s short of joyous, thanks George Miller, 70) I’ve yet to see Tomorrowland but with Brad Bird at the helm, it cannot be anything but a hugely entertaining think piece.

its a mystery .

Why do you buy what you buy? Ever thought of that faggot?

who is this qt

they have fuck all else

Yknow when I first heard about the concept of loot crates I thought they'd be like these big expensive boxes of cool shit. Like high quality replicas of movie props or real life versions of fictional food and drink or something. Maybe coming in an actual fantasy style treasure chest.

Then I actually see one and it's just things like socks and rub-on tattoos and those dumb collectible dolls that all look the same, and it all comes in this flimsy little cardboard box.

Why would anyone pay for that? I don't get it. Even if you wanted any of those things you could probably buy them individually for a fraction of the price.

Weak ass video card I would dump that bitch also dude has shit taste in music ...fucking pussy

Te best thing is the ones who ran there before everyone else are now trying to get out after seeing what a miserable existence it is. And nobody is listening to them jej

He's a chad, though.

THIS TIME THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR

>we now live in a world where former virgin nerds who started lifting and cleaning their room after decades of fapping to hentai and arguing about star trek plotholes are now bullying socially adjusted and happy normies and women for being nerds

He's always been a cunt. Didn't he beat girls too?

It's not hard to see who the alpha male of the group is.

August never really did anal iirc
There's one video where the guy tries and she just goes nonono

6/10 elbows sharp but knees are just right.

He has a Spanish Youtube vlog with millions of subscribers now. No idea what he's talking about other than that his gf appears in a few of them.

i dont know if this guy is serious or not, but porn is pretty bad for you. i stopped watching porn about 3 years ago and my life got so much better.

Because posting pictures of frogs on a children's website is the final form of adulthood.

whats it called?

who's his gf?

y

>He still thinks it was suicide
The Gay Mafia is a real thing you know.

He's not, he's replying to/threatening a fag performer who had criticized her.

Natural response from a society with no real threats or demands. You're literally living life with the gutter pads in place to prevent you from messing up.

that power stance shit number 4 looks like he's a pretty cool guy though

jordi enp

like LGBTs would have the guts to actually kill sombeody. Nah, bullying her to an hero sounds exactly like their type of thing

Is she the one from the Louis Theroux doc? That episode was comedy gold.

>was frequently going soft while fucking my gf
>one day she finds my porn collection
>loses her mind, "no wonder you can't stay hard"
>I delete everything and stop looking at pics/porn and jerking off
>we reconcile and in a matter of weeks I have no wood issues

Porn really is poison if you have any hope or expectation of a sexual relationship. Unless you're a teenager, you're probably not going to be able to have your cake and eat it too in that regard.

But is she a porn actress too? Because I'm not too familiar with the new spanish porn actress and I begin to regret about that since I found Aragne, who did a scene with Jordi and only two mores but is GOAT

I met a girl and fell in love with her and suddenly stopped watching porn and masturbating every nigt, not even wanting too.

She left me and I did it again, but met my current gf, we have sexx all the time but I still feel the urge to watch porn and masturbates everytime she's working. I guess porn is a substitute for love

No idea. I deduced she's his gf from their behavior together.

It also says that on the title of the video

I don't speak Spanish bro.
Sometimes I wish I did, even though there are almost no Spanish speakers in my country.

kek

well, novia=gf

If you want any other word, just ask

that chair is garbage

underrated

>Why would anyone pay for that?
it's like a monthly christmas present for pathetic losers

Yes. It all started with Star Wars. Lucas opting not to have Solo killed in Return of the Jedi because he feared that would mean less merchandise sales. Same with the vctory celebration endings. All the new characters and cutesy shits like the Minions solely aimed at selling off-movie content.

yes

"nerd culture" has become completely com-modified and targeted by multi-national entertainment ventures.

I remember when "nerd" was an insult. now they've reclaimed their "n" word much like black people reclaimed their "n" word

>August never really did anal iirc
you know too much mate. remove porn from your life

again some nerd posting pictures that his "girlfriend" bought him

>I guess porn is a substitute
yes it is. the end goal of which is decimating society

I jerk off most days and have never had a problem getting it up for real sex, that shit's in your head nigga, if porn actually affects you that badly you probably have some underlying mental issue.

I'm not buying into the cuck meme, but the skelly autistic nerd having his gf buy him kids toys while she is fucked nonstop by muscular large-dicked guys is pushing it way too far, sciece has gne way too far, how did this guy even sleep.

he's her pimp bro

Yeah, found out that he's a pron producer & even used to act

Consumerist culture ruins everything. I hate capitalism.

>Computer is 5 years old
>Built it with the best parts possible at the time because future proofing > constant upgrading
>Runs the latest AAA games on the highest settings with over 100fps, even with resolution scaling
>Still using 42 inch Sony LCD as the monitor that I bought 9 years ago. Have a 2nd 4K 30 inch monitor for high res shit
>Keyboard and mouse are both 1st gen Razer from 8 years ago, both work perfectly fine
>Meanwhile people are constantly spending massive amounts every year to upgrade their PC because...?
>People actually buy consoles and spend (in Australia) over $100 per game, upward of buying 10 games a month, for an experience that is ridiculously sub-PC

What the fuck is wrong with people? Do they have so little fiscal responsibility that they just throw money down the shitty for no actual reason? I mean you may as well buy a new car every year then say it's because the oil filters needed to be changed.

Build a good PC every 5 years, stay away from shitty consoles/GAMR KULCHA that is only there to suckle your shekels, and only upgrade your monitor when the old one dies.

With the money I save on this shit I've been pumping all my liquid into
