Then I realised that through text over the internet he's going to be functionally the same to deal with.
TESTEMONAIL: Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

The dude called himself The Dread Pirate Roberts.
He may as well have called himself Lupine McLoneWolfmaster, his chances of not being a self-aggrandizing dickbag were so perishingly low.

I'm with Paes and would like to add you're a dick and fuck you.
QuoteA New York man was robbed at gunpoint of $1,110 worth of Bitcoin.
According to CNBC, on the morning of May 27, the 28 year-old man was lured into a car in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn to sell Bitcoin to a buyer he met on Craigslist.
Once inside the car with the two robbers, the man was reportedly forced at gunpoint to transfer $1,100 in Bitcoin (around 4.9 Bitcoins, based on current prices) from his account to another account controlled by the robbers.
The man, who was not named, then had his phone stolen and was told to exit the car before the two robbers drove away.
This is not the first Bitcoin robbery to be reported in New York. In February, a New York City man reportedly was robbed at gunpoint after meeting up with a buyer for his Bitcoin, and there's no telling however many other cases might have gone unreported.
It goes without saying that you should always be wary when making arrangements online to buy or sell goods, and getting into a stranger's car is never a good idea. Police in some cities have offered to let people carry out their Craigslist deals outside of police stations to help discourage robberies.
This latest crime, meanwhile, is only the latest in Bitcoin's long, shadowy history. Criminals have demanded to be paid in the digital currency in ransomware attacks, for example. And convicted Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht amassed a small fortune in Bitcoin from his online drug sales operation and had an estimated $33.6m worth of the digital currency confiscated by police at the time of his arrest.

The sillyness explodes and launches you back to the surface.
HAHAHAHA EVERYBODY'S LIVED EXPERIENCE IS UNDERSTOOD AND DEFINED VIA CONCEPTS AND WORDS AND SOUNDS THEY MAKE WITH THEIR FACES THAT DON'T, REMOVED FROM THEIR SOCIAL CONTEXT, ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING.
IT'S ALL JUST WORDS, YOU DELUDED FOOLS. HAHAHAHA.
Commonly known as appeal to absurdity when done to another, I'm not sure what it is called when I do it to myself.

It's just a control mechanism that her parents are using on her. If she listened to everything I said, the problem would be fixed in a week. But she doesn't have enough self-control to react with reason. She's so emotional and vulnerable to manipulation.

she's too stupid to use that to her advantage. And she won't take any of my advice.

Yes I see you are throwing the barstool, much as predicted.Quote from: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on April 10, 2015, 12:11:04 AM
Oh. You're not here to communicate. Why didn't you say so in the first place?
You assert I am not here to communicate, and then ask why I did not communicate that at the start.
These assertions might be missing the point, the barstool might be thrown but it does not mean it is on target. So far the assertions as to who I am or am not, what my motivations are have all been spoken by you, and as such I am learning, true not so much about myself, but we are starting to put together a picture of how you react, and that I find informative. I am enjoying this performance you are quite a master of your technique.
Now tell me why do you feel the need to impose your values on others, what benefit do you derive from this desire for control, and is this a constant urge or does it modulate with time?
