Naturally Roger is on that short list. Though I didn't think you'd literally be here, hovering. It's impressive.

Hey!

Well, I certainly didn't expect this.

Welcome back. Here's what you missed:

1. n00b joins forum.
 
2. n00b decides Roger is a big old meanie and that the world would be such a better place if someone would only:
a) teach him a lesson
b) change his mind about some topic that he's not interested in, especially if it's a topic that he will mock. (cf: magic, libertarianism or frolicking in an imaginary, historically inaccurate, Native American fantasy.)
c) stop him from controlling the board.

3. n00b fails to realize that:

a) members post according to their free will
b) posters find Roger intelligent, funny & interesting
c) because Roger isn't perceived as 'board tyrant' therefore, no one needs 'rescuing' from his influence.

4. n00b makes increasingly futile attempts to 'dethrone' Roger and either:

a) apologizes
b) leaves
c) explodes in a blaze of self-immolating trollish glory (this will often include attacks on other members and generally reveals some sort of personal failing though typically it's mysogny and racism.)
d) weird combination of a, b & c

We are currently in the midst of stage 4. Final outcome TBD.

Yep.  But the biggest news is that a full half of all PD users have become slaves to Zuckerberg.  Iason, Cram, Cainad, Squiddy, and a whole bunch of other people have decided they prefer LIKING things, and having really small max character limits.

I once watched a guy become so addicted to stumbleupon that he turned into a weird stain on his computer chair.  That's what Facebook is like.  It is useful only for mutual appreciation societies, and pissing people off when the boards are dead.

I was told by one of them that "Facebook is friendlier".  This puzzled me to no end, because FB is the classic example of anonymous asshole.  I think what the person really wanted to say was that FB is more comfortable, because there's zero chance of your beliefs being questioned in a manner that can't be dealt with by the block button, and zero chance that someone will have the space in which to type a convincing argument that your beliefs are in fact wrong.

My new policy, effective today, is that if I haven't seen you on PD for 90 days, but see you on Facebook once a day or once a week, I stop thinking of you as a fellow Discordian, and instead think of you as "that guy/gal I used to know".  Because if we're not good enough for you, then go to hell for all I care.

Post by: Mangrove on September 26, 2012, 08:01:55 PM
At risk of sounding like a sanctimonious asshole, I don't have a Facebook account or Twitter or Stumbleupon or Pinterest etc. I cannot for the life of me think of a reason as to why I would want one of these things. [Similarly, I do not own or have ever owned a cell phone.]

Mrs Mang signed up for FB as a convenient medium to share pics with her daughter, especially because she likes getting update on our grandson. But her typical experience goes like this:

Mrs Mang: Hmm...oh...they've changed the format. What's this? No, I WILL NOT click a like button for MITT FUCKING ROMNEY. Arghh.....[clicks wildly]....[stabs at keyboard in frustration]...oh god...Janice is online. I hate FBB!!!! [logs out]

Every so often she makes a valiant attempt to give a crap about FB but it usually lasts only 10 minutes and then she does something more productive. Naturally, this only further entrenches my belief that I have missed nothing of import by not being there.

I've seen some epically retarded drama erupt over people and their FB accounts and watched it impact IRL lives in all sorts of stupid ways, so I don't buy into the notion that it would be friendlier than this board. I've been here 8 years, not entirely sure why but I've stuck around even though I'm only a casual poster  now. I still like to poke my polystyrene nose in from time to time.

In the interests of making things more uncomfortable:

I know you hate jazz.

a) I like jazz. I have lots of jazz on CD and vinyl.I have extra douchey hipster vintage, 1950/60s vinyl. So there!

Hey!

Well, I certainly didn't expect this.

Welcome back. Here's what you missed:

1. n00b joins forum.
 
2. n00b decides Roger is a big old meanie and that the world would be such a better place if someone would only:
a) teach him a lesson
b) change his mind about some topic that he's not interested in, especially if it's a topic that he will mock. (cf: magic, libertarianism or frolicking in an imaginary, historically inaccurate, Native American fantasy.)
c) stop him from controlling the board.

3. n00b fails to realize that:

a) members post according to their free will
b) posters find Roger intelligent, funny & interesting
c) because Roger isn't perceived as 'board tyrant' therefore, no one needs 'rescuing' from his influence.

4. n00b makes increasingly futile attempts to 'dethrone' Roger and either:

a) apologizes
b) leaves
c) explodes in a blaze of self-immolating trollish glory (this will often include attacks on other members and generally reveals some sort of personal failing though typically it's mysogny and racism.)
d) weird combination of a, b & c

We are currently in the midst of stage 4. Final outcome TBD.

Yep.  But the biggest news is that a full half of all PD users have become slaves to Zuckerberg.  Iason, Cram, Cainad, Squiddy, and a whole bunch of other people have decided they prefer LIKING things, and having really small max character limits.

I once watched a guy become so addicted to stumbleupon that he turned into a weird stain on his computer chair.  That's what Facebook is like.  It is useful only for mutual appreciation societies, and pissing people off when the boards are dead.

I was told by one of them that "Facebook is friendlier".  This puzzled me to no end, because FB is the classic example of anonymous asshole.  I think what the person really wanted to say was that FB is more comfortable, because there's zero chance of your beliefs being questioned in a manner that can't be dealt with by the block button, and zero chance that someone will have the space in which to type a convincing argument that your beliefs are in fact wrong.

My new policy, effective today, is that if I haven't seen you on PD for 90 days, but see you on Facebook once a day or once a week, I stop thinking of you as a fellow Discordian, and instead think of you as "that guy/gal I used to know".  Because if we're not good enough for you, then go to hell for all I care.

facebook = virtual crack.

I guess if I wanted to troll thousands of total strangers, then yes, I can totally see value in Facebook...lol...

I don't need a cell phone 99% of the time. I am self employed and my office is within easy walking distance. If people want to find me, they can call the house phone or they can call my office. If I'm not in one location I'm in the other. Both phones have voice mail. It's like I'm still living in 1994.

Of course, there's days where I wonder if something really terrible will happen to be and the police will say "ahh...poor Mang...if he only had a cell phone - we could have found him/saved him" etc.

Now, more importantly.....I demand to know why you do not like jazz! I take deep personal exception to the fact that our record collections are not the same! This is very distressing as I am unwilling to accept that other people, especially you, will not listen to Bebop. In fact, I am very sure you are responsible for making other people not like jazz.

I hope so.  With only a few exceptions (Ella Fitzgerald, etc), Jazz consists of 4 different guys playing 4 different songs in the same room at the same time.  No, wait.  4 different guys tuning up their instruments in the same room at the same time.  It isn't music, and can best be compared to That Guy at a party, who gets ahold of an accoustic guitar and "plays" it (fucking with one bad chord and commenting about how badly tuned it is) until TGRR and Knuckles drag him out back and kick his ass.

Jazz musicians should be beaten mercilessly and then be sold to medical research.  Or a pet food factory.

It's all part of the plan. You see, for a n00b to 'depose TGRR', it's important for him/her to find some point of agreement. By making an exception for Ella Fitzgerald, it's only a matter of 50+ pages before you are inducted into a Wiccan Coven by a 15 year old 'high priestess' using 'Atlas Shrugged' as a book of shadows. Slippery slope and all that.

Without this sort of idealism, how will Holist (or his next incarnation) sustain multiple threads across the board, all the same essential premise - to make you less 'you' and more like [insert whatever quality/trait the n00b believes is desireable].

Ok, now listen.  I also enjoy jazz, and have a large amount of vinyl.  But Bebop?  That's just going too far.  As much as I respect Coltrane, I think Giant Steps was one of the worst things to happen to the genre.  I'm a big fan of swing, the kind of luxurious melodies you listen to is a smoky bar, or the big jump sound that gets you on the floor and moving.  But then things started getting faster, and wankier, and worst of all most people who tried to do it sucked at it.  So I veered straight into Free Jazz, where you knew it was supposed to be one huge cacophony.

I shit you not.

They keep making these features that, when you use them exactly as they were intended to be used, people get epically mad. They get genuinely really, really upset, and sometimes they unfriend you, or unfriend your friend, depending. Best of all, these features are extremely easy to use and require minimal time or effort.

And then when I go to listen to jazz, it just sounds...well, like people who don't actually know how to play their instruments well. Like they're just horsing around, not trying to actually synthesize something worth listening. I don't even mean that improvisation is bad; Di Meola, DeLucia and Mclaughlin did all kinds of improv in their trios, but it always came out sounding like music.

Mrs Mang signed up for FB as a convenient medium to share pics with her daughter, especially because she likes getting update on our grandson. But her typical experience goes like this:

Mrs Mang: Hmm...oh...they've changed the format. What's this? No, I WILL NOT click a like button for MITT FUCKING ROMNEY. Arghh.....[clicks wildly]....[stabs at keyboard in frustration]...oh god...Janice is online. I hate FBB!!!! [logs out]

Every so often she makes a valiant attempt to give a crap about FB but it usually lasts only 10 minutes and then she does something more productive. Naturally, this only further entrenches my belief that I have missed nothing of import by not being there.

I've seen some epically retarded drama erupt over people and their FB accounts and watched it impact IRL lives in all sorts of stupid ways, so I don't buy into the notion that it would be friendlier than this board. I've been here 8 years, not entirely sure why but I've stuck around even though I'm only a casual poster  now. I still like to poke my polystyrene nose in from time to time.

In the interests of making things more uncomfortable:

I know you hate jazz.

a) I like jazz. I have lots of jazz on CD and vinyl.I have extra douchey hipster vintage, 1950/60s vinyl. So there!
b) I like jazz enough to want to play it myself...on not one but two different instruments.
c) I've got tickets to see Branford Marsalis in February and, good sir, there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Fire away!  :lulz:


If Skinny Vinny ever plays in your neck of the woods you need to check them out.  They're out of Beanttown, I think, and play some nasty, freak-out, free jazz. 


Also, Spyro Gyra RULES!!!

There're quite a few singers who seem to transcend both genres.  You can easily find Bessie Smith in either Jazz or Blues... and I think the same can be said for Billie Holiday?

Cher Lloyd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdbyG2MrBHk) transcends no less than seventeen genres*.






















*said genres, in order:  Shit.  ShitShitActually kinda catchy shit.  Shit!  Shit?  Aw shit.  Fuck.  Fuck this shit.  No, really, fuck.  Fuck me.  Shitshitshitmakeitstopmakeitstop.  There is no God. Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!  There are four lights! ..... and bleh.



That was low.

Ahh...it's days like today that remind me why I still hang out at here.

So, Tyler S Durden comes back from the dead. I give a pithy summary of recent noobishness and examines the odd compulsion of some new posters to 'take Roger down'. For added satirical value, I thought it'd be fun to mimic the typical noob by provoking Roger into a discussion about jazz. In the bizarre, fucked up and twisted manner that is PD.com, the thread actually turned into a legitimate discussion of jazz.

And you'd think that would be enough....but no. There always has to be someone who takes a joke too far and people get hurt. By someone, I mean Cain and by people getting hurt, I mean MY POOR FUCKING EYES/EARS!

You will pay for your Swagger Jagger!  :box:

Here's my two cents for the jazz conversation: FUCK Ella Fitzgerald. Roughly. In the ear.

I am gifting this to an audience of unsuspecting fools the next time I run tech at the local comedy club.
