The vixnix no holds barred thread

[Trotskilicious]

positive thinking is depression shaming.

[vixnix]

I'm interested in why you keep shaming people who shame people with mental illness, Trots.

Looks like you're gonna chicken out of answering that

[MyOneAndOnly]

Two girls one cup. Good fun or potential addictive material for toilet masturbation?

[duovamp]

Now there's a good post/av.

[duovamp]

Sorry for bad post/av shaming all of you other people with bad post/avs. You know who you are though.

[Trotskilicious]

youre so right

[D.]

Someone once size-shamed my av.

but that stuff is essentially true

your pigheadedness and confirmation bias will never allow you to accept it. but it's true.

I know far more interesting lawyers than you. My first cousin for instance went to Harvard for her LLM. She's like you...has never been good at anything at, ever...except diligently completing her homework and handing it in on time.

What exactly are you trying to do here

[Eulogy]

whag are you good at, vixnix

[vixnix]

I've been good at everything I've ever tried, except being a slim white girl with size 8 shoes. Basic compensation, really.

[Eulogy]

So like... What

[Eulogy]

And define "good" if you could

This is something to think about. Taken into consideration.

I still remember we were missing one piece on our soccer team and this kid was moving from Wisconsin and he told everone he was really good.

He was a disaster and never played. Sometimes we aren't the best judges of our own abilities is what I'm saying here.

[vixnix]

Being good at something is having attained mastery through practice I guess. Partly innate...and partly due to an interest in improvement, which drives practice.

I dunno...piano, tennis, singing, drama, horse riding, essay writing, formal logic, learning foreign languages, teaching.

How old were you when you last played soccer, Eulogy?

[Eulogy]

Competitively? 18. I'm almost at the age where I could join a casual over 30 league though *shudder*

[Eulogy]

I bet I would kick your ass in tennis vixnix

[Eulogy]

You wanna go or what

[Eulogy]

And I think "good" is inherently relative for most things so your definition doesn't really get at what I'm asking.

[vixnix]

club soccer or high school? what position? which grade? which division?

Yeah good is relative.

I mean I'm open minded so of course there's a possibility you'd beat me if we played tennis but I doubt it. Did you play competitively? Did you get a lot of coaching? Do you even have a spin serve?

Both. Sweeper in high school, moved around in the back in club. Grade? Like in school? All of them? Division? I dunno? Our club was at the most competitive level in the state I think? Schools were divided into two classes based on size and we were in the small one.

As for tennis it wasn't a focus of mine and I switched to track after one year of school (looking back, maybe a mistake). I won some points against some people ranked in the top ten in the state though. Which I looked at as an accomplishment lol. There is not much spin on my serve, no. But when I get in a groove its fast. Haven't played in a while though.

Are you suggesting that your formal logic has become good in the time since it was revealed that you lacked a basic understanding of argumentum ad hominem, among other common logical fallacies, and appeared to have never even heard of ad hominem tu quoque nor see where you were falling foul of it? I ask this in the nicest way possible, without meaning to merely rile you up.

Also, what other languages do you speak?

You'll have to provide specific examples - there would be an explanation. Most probably, it is "when in Rome...". Or you can take it up with my teachers down at Otago Uni, who invited me to be an honours student in analytical philosophy and awarded me a prize for the quality of my essays, all of which utilised the formal logic skills I supposedly lack a basic understanding of. They seemed to think I had an ok hold on logic though I dunno. Then there's the matter of my grades in the actual logic classes which would be difficult to explain, if we were going to ******* a premise like "vixnix lacks a basic understanding of argumentum ad hominem & other common logical fallacies".

I guess I hadn't heard of the tu quoque because it is so seldomly used outside of internet message boards.

I never stuck with languages long enough to speak them. Actually my accent is not bad as reported by native speakers. But I didn't have the necessarily resolve for the rote learning of vocab and was never immersed.

But I learned French, Latin & German at high school, and Latin (again) and Ancient Hebrew at uni.

[buzzard]

If Mr. Corgan hadn't shut his forums down, we'd still have access to so many concrete examples of your failings in formal logic that kind references to university days gone by wouldn't be particularly compelling. We're bordering upon irony in even mentioning marks you once received when considering those counterexample demonstrations, really. It's fortunate that our access to them has been removed.

Not to harp on about the negatives, but shouldn't a person that is good at learning languages have succeeded in becoming able to speak at least one of those that were pursued?

Oh I dunno, they're broken up here like Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, and then divisions within those - A1, A2, A3....B1, B2, B3 etc. In NZ because it was smaller, I think we just had 1st & 2nd div. - women's soccer wasn't so big, there. Basically for tomboys and lesbians - girls with manners play netball. I played club till high school, and then played for school. We had two teams and I spent my first year in the second XI waiting for a space in the first, which came the next year at 14.

I stopped playing at 15 because they deliberately scheduled choir rehearsal and soccer training on the same day and shifted divisions to the school girl league (so, played during the week), and told us we had to choose - up until then a handful of us were trying to do both. I had caught the singing bug that year so I quit soccer. In the end I sang in our high school competition choir, the city's youth choir, and the city's cathedral choir that year. And had a lead in the high school musical production. I attended an average of 23 hours of rehearsals and services as a singer, per week, on top of preparing to sit Grade 7 piano that year, and prepare for my first external nationwide exams at school (NZers may remember the dreaded school certificate). I still played club tennis over the summer though.

I was actually supposed to sit Grade 7 at 13, after passing Grade 6 at 12. But those were a rough couple of years - the unhappiness at home was catching up with me so we postponed. 14 was the year my group of friends began hanging out with some bad kids, including boys, the sexual abuse began. I guess looking back I was trying to forget everything around me by throwing myself into singing and piano, at 15. My parents were busy because the brother who was destined to become a drug addict, had been diagnosed with dyslexia and my academic snob parents were finding it hard to accommodate an under achiever, in the family.

Pfft I doubt it

Your sentences make very little sense.

Most language learners concede that classroom learning is not sufficient to develop conversational language skills, which is why so many native English speaking graduates with no teaching experience, have been paid to teach conversational English in countries all over the world (but I suppose, in the main...countries in Asia with an economic interest in learning English). I'm surprised you don't know that.

tomboys and lesbians play football, PROPER ladies play netball

[slunken]

lol tomboys
