People don't care by and large. If you're like me, you keep on forgetting this crucial fact, and keep getting burnt by rude, cold people who simply can't be bothered to give a fuck about anything but themselves

[atsonicpark]

Yes, Alan, you've got it... A lot of people I've dealt with are really spacey, rude people, who ignore others, or who are just out for themselves. Locally, for example, I've genuinely tried to support all my friends, and their projects, I've built webpages for my friends's bands, set up shows for them, always been cool about paying them if I make money from the shows, etc., etc., etc. I don't expect anything in return, except just for people not to be a dick to me... but I think one person has ever thanked me, and the minute I stopped doing these things, people began talking shit about me or just stopped caring. People will usually be nice to you, so long as they can use you; so long as you can give them something. There's very few genuinely nice people out there. There's even less supportive people... And as a person who tries hard to be nice AND supportive, it's easy to be brought down by people who are dicks to you in return.... you always will think that it's something you did, but it's not. People will hate you just by the way you look, or just by what're interested in, it may not have a single thing to do with who you actually are. Y'know, just the fact that I make experimental films or drone music might make me "pretentious" or something, to someone who doesn't actually know me. But I also don't think that a person who has a problem with you today, will in 5 years from now either. People change all the time, hopefully for the better. And I'm not perfect -- but even this random sweaty nasty dude who was bear hugging me last night and breathing his mayonnaise breath on me at this Lightning Bolt show.. I still couldn't be a dick to him.. I dunno... Nice guys finish last, but I'd rather finish last than fuck someone over to get to first.

No, both were in their 40's. One was the type you find sitting at a bus stop all day, the other was maybe a doctor or a lawyer. Or if not, at least a member of that section of society.

I love you and all but you're complaining about rude people to a message board full of rude people...

[atsonicpark]

You're missing my point.

Did you plant a house when you meant to build a tree?

Speaking of hipsters...

from http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mis/1836717611.html
You god awful closed minded whores:
what did you expect, prince-hipster-charming to come waltzing into your midst? Nonsense. I’m a kind, caring guy with a huge heart and no friends within hundreds of miles and night after night when I say “hello” or “hi, how are you tonight?” or “have you ever inhaled a firefly while riding your bike and wondered if it illuminated the contents of your stomach?” you impolitely turn away and indicate that you are unable to make small talk with a person with such low micro-regional-social rank and that you prefer to choke down your shitty cocktail and home rolled cigarette in solace rather than socialize with the likes of me. Hear me now, sweet hipster honey: You aren’t so special either. You’re a human being just like I am. You are probably of average or slightly above average intelligence, you might even enjoy thought provoking films, and long walks on the beach as much as anyone else, though you hate to admit it. Get over yourself. And the next time some well meaning person says hello to you and he seems all alone and far away from his near and dear shoot this theoretical person a greeting back. It couldn’t hurt. Don’t worry. I won’t damage your “cool”. I am probably too un-cool to possess that power to begin with. With love....

Your hypothetical friend,
-Ambiguous dorky guy who's just looking for a few menial fragments of humanizing conversation

p.s.: I very well might be cooler than you are anyway. Don’t be afraid. Embrace it. Combined we could create a Super-Nova halo of rad-ness and encompass the city with untouchable nebulous fire-light. Just be kind and say hello. Engage. And sorry for calling you whores, it was for CL sensationalism more than anything and wasn't meant to be descriptive. In fact most of you are probably pretty nice to members of your own clique. The rest of us, though, get the down-town-run-around.

[DeadDiscoDildo]

Hipsters are hipsters who call hipsters hipsters. Duh.

[viewtiful alan redux]

Triple d spekas truth. Let the debate end with his words

A message to you, Rudy.

Koreans aren't rude when they cut in front of you in line or come within an inch of hitting you with their car, it's just the Confucianisn... so saws the head foreign teacher. He may be a racist.

I hear ya there!!!! I have minimal friends outside of my family. Going to school made me a bit antisocial after being tortured daily for either being too fat, too poor or too wierd. I had NO TRUST in anyone and still don't. People will ALEAYS let you down.

Florida does suck in that aspect. People in this area cling to thier old southern views of who should belong in what group and I belong to none of them and am happy for it. You are DEFINITLY judged soley on appearance here.

I can see how those Columbine kids turned in that direction, though i do not think it was the right way to go. I can recall many times sitting on the bus and fantasizing about destroying all those who had wronged me. I realized though that God would not like that much so I obvipisly did'nt.

My point: this is what happens when social groups make teenagers feel isolated worthless and all alone.

Looking back on my old high school notebooks (1987-1991) I am very glad to see that I was insane before the Columbine thing happened. My notebooks and books are filled with screeds and rants and pictures and drawings of killin and explosions and songs about throwing grenades into the teachers lounge and beheading teachers and such

it was all just teen aggression and pent up rage and shit, and I would never have done anything, but in this day and age I would have been locked up.

Oops I didn't mean to neg rep you! I did it from my phone, which lags.
I meant to give you positive rep.
