It's the principal of the thing though.

That's why I say the only move Jesus can possibly make is turning north american into wine. That, or he settles on ressurection. He gets one miracle per life, so technically, he can keep ressurecting himself.

Turning the leader into wine seems a bit violent.

Not really. It's like *pop* no more leader. There's no pain or suffering involved, no torture or anything.

I want to see the farthest world we can go to in our solar system. I don't know what that is, but I think Bungie stopped somewhere on a moon at Saturn.

God dammit I want some gas giant levels. Suspended work stations on Jupiter or Uranus. Gimme something on Pluto too.

You don't win this thread.

Actually, turning all of North America into wine is the lazy move on his part. All he has to do is reach out to their leader and turn him into wine, but as you stated, if he won't even turn an object into something at a distance without moving in the first place, then that's lazy as shit.

Fine... but will he ramp up to that level over chimps?

They have guns, and they're going to kill him or beat his ass. Jesus is so lazy that he's immobile, as we talked about a few minutes ago. He is also so lazy that his only effective power is turning things into wine on contact, but he's so lazy that he won't move.

So, yes, he would, because that's the only move jesus can make.

I'm just saying he's more likely to do something lazy and non-lethal.

Turning the continent into wine is non-lethal.

Yeah but Jesus is lazy

I don't know how Jesus functions then. Because if he's so lazy to even lift up a hand and think about a shotgun becoming a T-Rex, I don't know how he could being any lazier.

But if we're going for solely wine based miracles at this point, and Jesus is too lazy to change the atomic structure of something at will from a distance, than that leaves only one choice.

Jesus turns the continent he's sitting on into wine. He's already made contact with the ground, so if he turned it into something, the entire continent he was sitting on would change.

So, Jesus turns North America into wine.

Well, turning water into wine is still altering the atomic structure of something, so that means his one miracle is capable of quite a bit.

You know what apes hate? T-Fucking Rex's. All jesus has to do is point at that shotgun and turn it into a T-Rex, and he wins the game.

I remember I was just standing there thinking what the fuck all these people were doing holed up with so many weapons, why the fuck was I here, and the knock on that big steel plated door made everybody shut their traps up right quick. In fact everybody started trying to minimize their sound after that.

Too bad I woke up not long after.

Long time ago, I vaguely remember something. There was a whole bunch of people in a crowd, and we were all giving out the names we took on the forums. And then somebody started passing out shotguns, and then, there was a knock on the door.

And these fucking assholes would be the anarchists. The shits they don't give as they fly around, land on you or anything else and promptly stick to it like glue.

And then there's the fact that every one of them is an asshole capable of ripping chunks out of your skin and making you bleed when you try to remove them from yourself.

The Flood / Re: Funny nicknames
« on: August 14, 2014, 01:10:06 PM »
Well, I've got some nicknames. We often see a lot of traffic with people through my place, and I often come up with various names for certain people who's actual names I have trouble remembering. So let's see if I can remember all the miscellaneous folks that pass on through.

The Durs- A rather large family of hilbilies.

Black Hat Walter- If we were in the 1800s, this guy would be a cowboy. Never goes anywhere without his signature hat.

Tall Swedish Anna- A BIG fucking woman built like a mountain. I'm not talking fat, I'm talking bench pressing cars for fun.

Smoker Vince- A normal guy, except that it sounds like he's been smoking for 80+ years and slid sandpaper down his throat.

Jabba the Hut- A really, really big fucking dude. If you painted him green he'd easily pass for Jabba. He's even got the chins.

Mr. and Mrs. Phlem- Only one of these people sounds bad, and that would be Mr Phlem. Sounds like his throats eternally clogged in mucas and he makes some damn awful sounds with it most of the time.

The Keystoners- A group of kids, early to mid teens, that only ever show up when they're stoned as shit. They always buy out our goodies and ask for a lot of fucking ice cream.

Slow Walter- A dude who's gotten incredibly slow with age. Can't travel very far very fast without his mobility scooter.

The Bible Thumpers- Every so often, a van packed with these folks rolls into town.

Demon Kids- Every so often, three of these little bastards show up, make a mess, make lots of noise, and generally be annoying little bastards. These are the kind of people who will get their shit smacked up when they're older.

Dur Nephew- A distant relative to the Durs.

Retarded Nephew- Another distant relative to the Durs, but manages to go even farther below the line of intelligence then the main family.

Construction dude- Some old guy who comes in at noon like clockwork to order something from us, always wears an orange vest and other construction site gear.

Carrot Cake guy- This is the only thing I've ever seen him eat.

The Northwest  Territories people- People that only show up once or twice in the year that come down from the NWT and proceed to order fucktons of our pies.

Harper Don- A dude who does a lot of paperwork for our current prime minister. I don't know how high up he is on the chain of things, but he does do a lot of government business.



And, for the time being, those are all the folks I can remember. But there's more out there.

Of course people at the top are pulling the strings. And they're at the top for a reason. Because they worked within the confines of the system. They provided society with what it needed, each in their own way. And contrary to your contention, society did give back. That's the whole purpose of currency, of promotions. You may say that titles and money are worthless, and I would be inclined to agree, if not for the one thing they both garner: power. I've already said that human nature is greed and ambition, and there's a reason for that: no matter how much people love denying it, power is every human's greatest desire. And power is exactly what playing the system, bringing something to society's table, earns you.

I agree that it's often the outcasts of society who make the biggest philosophical or technological breakthrough, but like you said, "long after they were gone, suddenly, they were right." If they weren't right until they were dead, that means that their life was a failure. Legacy means nothing. When you're dead, you won't know you're being honored. All that matters is power and respect while you're alive. In business, in life, and even in love, all that's important is what you're bringing. People only care who you are in relation to how it affects them. And that's how it should be.

Then in that case, we're still primitive as fucking rocks. Call me after around 10,000 years of evolution or so.

This isn't about money. It's about the fact that your only measure of worth to society is what you bring to it. You could be the richest fucker on the planet, but if you're not bringing anything to the table, you're worth nothing to society.

And here's the cherry on top. Society means nothing. What am I bringing to society? Nothing. Because society doesn't care. Society is simply the product of numbers. Society was Humans banding together to do what they couldn't do alone. Essentially, the weak using their numbers to become strong. And it shows. Scientifically proven that the larger our numbers become in an area, the lower the intelligence of the entire group becomes.

And this is why we have wars, and religion, and a capitalistic society. Because at the top of the board, are people pulling the strings. And they can lead everybody around as they please. They could run everyone to their deaths and the crowd wouldn't even see it.

You know who really got things done? The thinkers. The outcasts. The people alone in their intelligence who were shunned in their age,  scoffed at and mocked. And, years later, long after they were gone, suddenly, they were right. The crowds finally caught up, like that one fat kid in gym class.

Society does not care about what you can bring to the table, and it never did, and it never will. Society, as a whole, will never return what you give. All it ever accomplished was two things.

1. It allowed those who couldn't do things on their own to flourish, contributing to the great effect that we know as mob mentality, dulling and diluting the intelligence of people so much that today, there's almost a line, a barrier, a class. Those at the bottom who turn the gears williingly, and those at the top who give the orders and control everything.

2. Make a bigger target for trouble. The bigger the footprint, the easier you are to spot. Every great empire we've ever made fell for one sole reason. It was too big in someone's eyes. What's the first thing any of our nukes target if they're launched? Population centers.

Society has little to give in return but in favor asks for your life and more. No sir, you've always been worth little to society, because society was founded off the numbers of people who couldn't do anything.

Na. While money can bring you a lot of material things, there's a cost. There's always a cost. In order to climb so far up the ladder, your life has to be devoted to it. Your time, your mind, everything, must live and breath money. How much are you making? How much will you lose to gain more? How much will you gamble on things?

And when you're a crumbling old man, your life will suddenly revisit you. The years spent as your kids slipped by. Divorces with people who never really loved you. The strain of all those years, fighting day in and day out to stay at the top. And then, you realize it. You're going to die. You're going to die, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. No money in the world will allow you to cheat fate.

And suddenly, you begin to wonder, what if? What if you had gone out and done that one thing you always wanted to learn? What if you paid attention to your kids so they weren't spoiled brats that couldn't give a fuck about you because you were never there? What if, you had taken a simpler way instead?

I've seen it happen. I see it on their faces, on their bodies. They grow old, and miserable. They twist themselves out of shape and let their bodies go to ruin. Their family is practically non existent. But hey, at least they have money right?

No.

From the day we created it, money has been a cancer. The lives wasted in pursuit of a meaningless number, something that never did, and never will hold any true value. Give me a hundred thousand dollars and drop me off in the middle of the woods, in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't even start a fire with it because it's not even fucking paper anymore.

Take the land I grew up on. It's still in my family. But I, nor would anybody else ever sell it, for any price. The memories made there, are priceless, both good and bad. We buried our dead there. The work, the achievements, the simple act of shaping the land to be what we wanted it to be outweighs anything any of the billionaires ever made for themselves.

Money, is a necessity in today's world. But it's not the answer. Nor is it a solution to all your problems, only those that require money. And even then, what you can achieve with money, you can achieve with your own two hands by yourself.

Money, while it can be fun to spend, the sole purpose it was made for, comes with a cost. And the cost is your life. Your time and effort, the years spent in the state required to spend, grow, and consume, more and more until you reach the top.

To me, that's worthless. I would rather spend 10 years crafting a boat by hand, by myself, then working 10 years in that trap, and buying a multi million dollar boat with the snap of a finger. Because what I would gain and experience in those 10 years of working and shaping my own boat, my own dream, will always be infinitely better than what that money could ever provide.
