The Flood / Re: A hypothetical for you
« on: October 27, 2021, 05:36:05 PM »
are you somewhat happy I came up with this

idk I want to expand what I post about here and even if my hypothetical wasnt compelling at least it led to some activity/discussion here right

I mean I know you still despise me but if you want to see me make more threads in this vein please let me know with a little bit of positive reinforcement if that's not an overstep to ask

I think I'll have to make the updated hypothetical tomorrow guys. Sam and I went over to our friend Camille's house, who I recently got into Twin Peaks. She was on the penultimate episode ("Miss Twin Peaks"), which precedes the legend of a finale ("Beyond Life and Death"). I told her there was no way that she watches those last two episodes without me there with her lol. So we ordered some pizzas and had some mixed drinks (I also did 200mg of DXM covertly - a very low dose) and watched the best hour and a half of television that anyone has ever come up with, ever. Such a cozy night.

Anyway I definitely want to expand on this hypothetical. Give me a day or two and I'll use Verb's wisdom to make a truly compelling one.

Going to make an updated thread using Verbatim's advice when I get home. I made this on the fly last night - expect a much cooler thread with better formatting / pictures.

Good stuff, thank you. I'll work on this hypothetical for sure. You're the best Verb! <3

If it's a perfect world, I wouldn't get bored and would be content with my 'modest' trillion years. In this perfect world I get to die in my sleep painlessly one day and that would be pretty neat too.

Seems a bit pointless to torture someone if it's a perfect world. It's a *perfect world*, so the defined time period is already built in to be perfect too.
Don't get too hung up on the "perfect" part. I'll just go ahead and remove it.

Are you able to take anything seriously? Your forced, childish demeanor will only hurt you in this world. Please read everything in the OP once again, and tell me what choice you'd genuinely make if you were the one randomly selected.

The Flood / A hypothetical for you
« on: October 26, 2021, 12:36:53 AM »
There exists a hypothetical Earth. On this Earth is a secluded island. 100 random people from this hypothetical Earth are brought to the island and granted a trillion years of existence - and can end their existence if they wish. In addition, these people never feel pain or suffering.

Unfortunately, this comes with a cost. Every 100 years, a random person from that group is given a choice. The details of that decision are below:

Spoiler
The first choice: You will be given
a permanent existence (that can end at any time you wish), but all of those 99 people are tormented and tortured for that permanency as well.

The second choice: You decline, and will not be given permanent existence right there and then. No one will be tortured. But every 100 years, a random person from that society will be given this choice, until the trillion years are up.



This takes place on a fictionalized Earth. A person who made the first choice also gains the ability to leave this island of tortured souls and sail away to any other country filled with normal humans - they wouldn't have an eternity of being alone. But those remaining in the society would still be there, on the island, unable to be rescued - forever.

Which option would you take? Essentially this is the prisoner's dillemma taken to the extreme. I got inspiration from this hypothetical from Berserk.


Also,
this isn't a monkey's paw, genie, BS situation. The terms are absolutely clear. If you choose the first option, you're guaranteed to be free from an existence of constant, excruciating pain/torture.

All of those "be careful what you wish for!!" tropes are really just there because people get uncomfortable with these kinds of questions. Self-punishing and fearful as we are, we're afraid to look these hypotheticals in the eye, and it's easier to change the premise of the question than to simply answer it.

Absolutely the only way I buy this stupid cash grab game is if they make Azula a playable character.

How do you know if someone is a vegetarian?
Don't worry, they will tell you.
Eh, for me it's something I'm in no rush to reveal to friends and the general public alike unless the conversation leads to it or I'm offered a meat based food.

Also in no way am I trying to convert people like those "vegenazi's".
Exactly. Wish everyone would just chill out. I lost a member of my new polycule early this morning (1:00ish probably) because she couldn't handle me being a vegetarian. She thinks I'm insulting her or God or something. I care about her a lot, but she won't make me eat meat. This is just a test.

102
I see nothing wrong with taking care of a cow and keeping her safe and loving her, and in return she provides you with her milk.
is that how you get your milk
No, but the core moral concept of milk-drinking isn't inherently blackened and corrupted like meat-eating is.

One can drink milk and eat eggs morally, and I strive to do better and better until I can achieve that - to keep myself and my family as healthy, cozy, and pampered as can be, while still being morally correct.

103
To be clear, I'm not a vegan. I see nothing wrong with taking care of a cow and keeping her safe and loving her, and in return she provides you with her milk.

I'll also be keeping and wearing my leather jacket. It feels more abhorrent to throw it away than to make use of it honestly.

Was watching this live fishtank for hours on Sunday after a particularly stressful weekend. This stingray looked so cool. Went to the wikipedia article for stingrays and pretty much fell apart after browsing different articles for a while.

I don't blame others who have the mental/emotional strength to do what needs to be done to get nutrients but I just can't anymore. It feels like a burden on my soul, and I've felt so much better and less stressed and frentic lately. It's like a load off my mind.

I made a calendar post to signify this. I have no doubts that I'll sustain this lifestyle from here on out. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.

I've been amazing. New opportunities everywhere. My girlfriend/fiancee put in her two weeks notice to her awful sister / HR rep, so I'll be the sole provider from here on out. Budget will be tight, but I'll have so much more control and she can do so many more things for me during the day. I'm also not eating meat anymore, since Sunday Oct 3rd. That will make things less expensive as well.

Still no gf
I decided to accept my fate and embraced the simp life years ago.

Have some dignity why don't you
At least pretend to find some nobility in being alone like Verb
Either three of you could easily just scoop up a cute trans girl; no excuses for being alone in this era

Any plans? I'm trying to stay on track with my job and get better at Adobe products. Would be awesome to use this new phone to take some sweet pictures/videos and maybe make some creative content.

What about you?

When I'm positive and trying to self-improve and feel good about myself, wrath. Have you ever listened to Other Friends on DXM? Nothing compares. Pride also goes hand-in-hand here, as you can't have a good bout of self-justified/self-righteous wrath without some amount of egoism involved.

On a normal day, sloth, gluttony, and greed. I try not to indulge in any of these at all, but sometimes it's hard not succumb at least a bit.

On bad days, envy. Never fun, but sometimes necessary to get through the bitterness and resentment.

I rarely feel lust.

The Flood / Re: Bungie sues Marty for $100,000
« on: September 19, 2021, 09:53:38 PM »
Just for uploading some songs and footage that he deleted in the end when they sent him a cease and desist?
Not exactly.

Here's what happened, more or less.
So, the songs leaked and Marty decided to upload them since they were already out and there's no official way to hear his music.
Bungie sends him a cease and desist, tells him they're going to release the songs themselves, and Marty does the right thing and decides to take them down.
Then, Bungie releases the songs as bonus content available exclusively with the Destiny vinyl soundtrack, which was available only in limited quantities.
Marty said fuck it and reuploaded the songs since obviously there's still no way to listen to them officially except on a fucking record.

I don't really care about the fact that bungie was legally in the right or that Marty knew this would end up happening. They fucked him coming and going and this is obviously about spite, not money.
Oh shit. So just Bungie being evil assholes, as usual. How shitty can one company get for real? Sad to think they wrote and made such a legendary game series.

did you break up that that
jewish bf or something
The jewish bf is now my jewish gf



I ever tell you how creepy you are? You're fucking creepy. The fact that you unveiled this with an air of smugness really seals it, like you intentionally orchestrated it or some shit. Its fucking weird.
It was her choice. She brought it up to me and I accepted her because I’d be a hypocrite to not after she accepted me.

Most chasers are repressed trans girls themselves, living vicariously through their girlfriends. Not hard stuff but I guess you're free to judge and cut down people on a whim

You are the most loathsome poster on the site I think. I pray for all of the minors being preyed upon in your groomer server on discord
not sure if you recall, but the server in question is the same one she got kicked out of permanently for (among several other reasons) impersonating me to evade a previous ban in some unhinged attempt at currying favor with the people she upset in order to allow herself back in, the outcome of which can be read here when one of the admins of that community saw what was happening and told me that she would never be on that server again

some time later, spagelo ends up DMing me on discord to invite me to this very server, and i'm like "sure why not" because they do movie nights—i love movies—and it seemed like a good excuse to meet some new people with similar interests, even if they were all associated with a crazy fuck that i hate

i stuck around for about a year. i wasn't the most active member on that server by any means, and i didn't get to know anyone TOO well, but i showed up to movie nights when i could, and most of the people there seemed pretty chill, and appreciated my thoughts when i did share them (except for at least one person who very obviously did not like me, which is fine, but i feel like she just had a stick up her ass constantly which soured the atmosphere at times)

i had to leave last month, though, and sever all connections, because spagelo decided to go back on her word and let secondclass back on this server. NO notice, NO prior discussion, NO explanation. NO real reasoning. the fucking lunatic is just back now. "fuck what i said before, fuck what you're comfortable with, fuck the emotional distress this person has put you through—if you're not willing to forgive her, then you're just being a petulant child. this is what we're doing."

it sucks, because it was a nice group of people who i was hoping to develop a stronger connection to, but if spagelo really is so fucking stupid that she doesn't understand how insulting (and scary) it is to allow someone who maliciously impersonated me to be back on that server, after specifically telling me that she would never do that, and didn't even have the fucking common courtesy to ASK us first, then i will not hesitate to burn the fuck out of that bridge, because she doesn't get to decide who i'm willing to forgive, or who i'm willing to associate with. what a fucking creep

just a little bit of drama there for you, i know it's been a drought lately
If it makes you feel any better Spagelo has since removed me from that server for a completely different reason.

I’m sorry for impersonating you. I genuinely feel bad about that. You can hate me for the rest of my life and I understand completely. I really don’t deserve anything more than that. I’m not a sobbing wreck or anything but I can own up to my actions and I’m willing to live my life with the consequences of them.

You should read the manga.

The creator, Kentaro Miura, passed away this year.  Assuming you watched the 1997 anime you should defs jump into the manga.
I didn't know that. Damn. My e girlfriend showed me Berserk in three "movies" where it was mixed scenes with the original anime and updated graphics new scenes. It was a little jarring at first, going from one aesthetic to another, but eventually it vibed with me. It's like in video games when the unimportant stuff is a text box the character is saying, but then when it goes to a cutscene you know it's about to be important

Anyway it didn't take me out of the show or anything. Made it better I think.

As far as the manga goes, I think I'd like that as well. Will just have to get used to the reading backwards thing, I like comics but have never read a manga before. I'd be very interested to read this story in a paper format though

I have a gf who I live with. We both share an e-gf, which makes this a 3 way relationship.

Anyway our e gf insisted on showing us this anime Berserk. Said it was really personal to her and we'd like it. It started off simple enough, just some medieval fantasy thing. But then it progressed. And I wish I was glued to the screen from the very beginning because holy shit the payoff was so good.

I got to the end of the "Golden Age" arc. And I really want to crawl inside somewhere and die. So many missed opportunities. So much fucking darkness. I've never seen a show like this before. I sincerely feel betrayed, for the first time in a long time. I am so lost and just really beside myself. This shouldn't have happened and please watch this show if you haven't yet.

The scary thing is that everything I hated about this show SO much also scares me about myself. I can't hate any characters when I would be so tempted to do just what they did. It just shines such a dark light onto relationships and misunderstandings and I seriously have never been so lost. Such a goddamn waste. If anyone wants to watch this with me from the beginning I'd be glad to either stream it, or sync-watch it with someone. I kinda just want a hug rn. This show is my new favorite and I really just want to watch it from the start.

I'm honestly seeing so much connection between what's happening now and the onset of WW2. Jihad rule is the next Nazi rule. Fascists are fascists, no matter how you dress it up. Godwin's Law or not,  we are on the brink of another crisis here. There's an Axis in the Middle East!!! Do people not see this?

If you still need credibility from me
I called the trump coup in November, months before the January insurrection happened. I also saw the warning signs as early as September. Take what I'm saying seriously please. This almost makes me want to write or get involved or something. I've been wasting time on media when serious shit is going down.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

How offended would you be if the you go to Afghanistan and they don't make you put on a Burka
I would consider myself lucky. I would hella boymode in that society are you crazy? They're literally living in backwards times there, under jihad rule. It's sick and I'm scared to even say these things because I don't want to be the target of some terrorist person who hates me for whatever.
