Also, this is 2014, why do people still see adverts? That's what adblock is for.

Cynicism does not, in my opinion, equate to the absence of naivete, which invariably stems from false advertising.

Television.

Also, they induce cynicism because you learn that they keep spouting out bullshit (for example, haircare products. 'It has dipeptides in it!' 'Right, so what do they do?' 'Uhh uhh' 'Thought so'

Eh. At least it's not outright manipulation. I harbor a particular dislike towards one of the bigger networks here for first fucking over my dad, then, a couple of years later, fucking over my hometown, via Michael Moore School of Editing techniques.

Reminds me of Idiocracy.

Thanks to feeding plants electrolytes, they have successfully salted their crops, screwing over their agriculture, like the "geniuses" they are.

Unrelated to adverts, but I very often find people's "cynicism" to be a kind of naivete. You know, especially when espoused by young, pseudo-spoiled people trying to sound worldly and experienced, yet haven't actually experienced particularly much at all, and often nothing to do with the topic they're cynicising over. It's the expectation that things are bad, not because of experience or knowledge, but because you want to project a blasé image. Cynaivism?

Oh yes, I've encountered this as well. People who are both cynical and hilariously wrong due to that.

Someone told me to come back to bay12 and post. There's still a lot of names that I remember fondly.

All my luffles, friends, even though I mostly just idle on steam and teamspeak nowadays when I have free time.

[Furtuka]

OMIGOSH ITS KAEL

Good to see you back.

[miauw62]

Hey Kael! I somewhat remember you (vaguely) :v

[Urist Imiknorris]

How's it going?

[Haspen]

Oh gaawd!

Hi Kael, welcome back! :3

[KaelGotDwarves]

Busy. I'm continuing my studies with International Business Management and trying to not have my girlfriend's strict Thai parents murder me when we end up getting more serious.

I posted some pictures in the picture thread

It's good to see all the familiar faces still around :3
