i am a little frosty at nerds and social justice people for ruining fedoras
frankie bought me one like a decade ago and i wore it out to fancy things sometimes and thought it was smart!
and now they're ruined!
Fedoras can work if you're dressing like you should be wearing a fedora.
If you're wearing a silk shirt with flames and JNCO pants... a fedora is probably not the concept one should entertain. Besides, you don't want to get cheeto dust on the brim anyways.
Be Harrison Ford and wear a fedora, pure waifu bait.

ITT: I learned that reconciling my post-eric garner feelings with my political beliefs is hard.
The answer for you is:
"Burn it all down."
It is the only way.
Well, yes.
That's kind of how I feel.
Don't worry it is the right way to feel in many ways.
But take that anger and make it productive. You can't really burn the system down but you can try to reform it bits and pieces.
Mostly via being proactive.
This is going to get hella personal so I'm gonna put it in spoilers:
Well, while I've never been conservative, I've always had deep problems with some of the core tenants of what I guess you can call american liberalism
Mostly I was just shocked at how angry people got when trying to change other's views. MLK wasn't (outwardly) angry. Nelson Mandela wasn't angry. I always thought the best way to change the system was to change people's hearts and minds, and the best way to do that was to be a role model, to open frank dialogue. To try and change things iteratively, knowing that eventually things basically got better
but after the Eric Garner ruling and Ferguson, I felt like things aren't getting better. I felt, maybe for the first time, an undirected and undirectable anger at a system. And I'm tired of frank dialogue, I'm tired of the same old ignorant bullshit spouted by trite, unconvincing arguments. I'm tired of being tolerant.
I beat someone in a vidya and they call me a try-hard and I kinda had to wonder if they meant it as an insult at first
yeah maybe I do try hard — I'm pretty happy with doing that.
tryhard is the most infuriating insult
I don't know what possessed these people to turn "I put effort into being good at something" into an insult but they are the worst people.
Go away, fking casuals. We are trying hard in this sphere.

To a certain extent tumblr makes me feel old because I've never really grasped how it works
Step 1. You post something great, like a digital painting of a cyberpunk cityscape in the rain.
Step 2. I push the "like" button.
Step 3. You have won at tumblr.

I actually think old dudes can still pull off hats. Once you're fully grey I think you get more hat leeway.

I used to work with a dude who wore an indiana jones fedora occasionally and pretty much everyone in the office referred to him as Indy -- I'm not sure he liked that.
Anyone who identifies as an SJW can't really be offended when they're lumped in with people who invent new gender pronouns for their alternate personalities.
uh, why not?
I fucking hate that caring about something suddenly makes me the same as an idiot of tumblr and therefore my opinion just as easy to dismiss
Woah woah
You were willing to lump someone who used a term in with people who are fucking vile human beings, because they also use that term.
You don't get to paint people with a broad brush and then object when it gets done to you. We all play by the same rules here.
huh? I was?
and anyway, are all terms the same? all movements have equal value?
Of course all movements don't have equal value.
Doodman was getting lumped in with GGers pretty clearly, and that's not a good thing to do just because he might use a term the way that they do. Hell, you objected to being lumped in with people who you might use similar discourse to.
Really, the issue that I find disconcerting, is the idea that if someone agrees with a group about one thing that they must therefore agree about all things. I don't know what all the objectionable groups are out there, and I can't guarantee that I don't agree with them about some things. But that doesn't mean that I agree with everything that they do.
I mean, I don't really use the term SJW at all, because I just don't have cause to. But I can tell you that I don't mind it being used to single out people who are actually doing more harm than good to the cause that they profess to support. Advancing a progressive social agenda is hard, and we don't need people making it harder by supporting causes badly.

I think you're seeing it from the wrong perspective. Imagine the guy who shows up to a friendly competition and flips the table. Whenever I hear the term try hard I associate it with the person who has to be reminded that it's just a game.

I think you missed something.
MLK was angry. Mandela was angry. Ghandi was angry. They were all angry. Their anger didn't dictate their tactics. They used the anger to fuel them. Non-violence, rational discussions and protest aren't tactics used by those without anger but those with anger.
Let the anger drive you but don't let it overcome you I think.
I think try hard is reserved for when someone puts more effort into a friendly encounter than is really warranted
I've mainly used it when I pick something I'm not good at for fun and someone picks something they're the best at and they absolutely no mercy play to win

You could always not give a fuck what some asshole thinks and wear what you want?
I have a pet store near by me that's called Animal Farm. Which is really horrifying.

fuck the haters milady4lyfe
Planning beforehand would let me get footage way early.
But not planning? It could mean having people vote on the next game for me to review out of a list or something.
Such a conundrum.

Try hard means in an in house they pick a hard counter for teemo every time you pick teemo
Also they are better than you
Anyway that's what it means to me.
Course a coonass say something like that.
Step 1. You post something great, like a digital painting of a cyberpunk cityscape in the rain.
Step 2. I push the "like" button.
Step 3. You have won at tumblr.
I do wonder if that's kind of deliberate?
Like, it's the technology equivalent of polari

seriously though
casuals wouldn't care enough to message someone about being a try-hard after losing a game
unless.... they are try-harding at being a casual : O
those jerks
Works so well.
someday I will have the capital to farm you

don't you get sassy with me, mister.
Fashion is pretty much being good at caring what other people think, or if you're very good, controlling it
It is a valuable skill
duly noted. will now refer to spool as a "poop sock"
I think try hard is reserved for when someone puts more effort into a friendly encounter than is really warranted

i think it'll come back into fashion around the same time as the toothbrush mustache
Because society no longer cares about you one way or the other. Freedom. But at what cost.
yeah i think i agree with this
i went to boardgame night with coworkers some years ago and i went hoping to drink a little and have fun and they came ready to compete at the peaks of their abilities
they were definitely tryhards
all committing Teemo related hate crimes
Probably those damn animal SJWs with their 'ethics', and 'preservation' stopping us. :P
