I know I should just fuck off and go somewhere else, I want to.
Which is why I can't. Fightin' the power an so on.
You guys don't care if I do or not. Understandably so.
I do.
I don't need to wow you by stating the obvious or win your respect and admiration.
I'm not going to get it anyway.
Mostly because I don't actually get it.
But I'll get it one of these days.
Or maybe I'll just die trying.
Or maybe there's really nothing to get.
But if there is really nothing to get, then I've wasted an awful lot of time trying.
And that's incredibly depressing.
That guy is literally trying to kill me.

Just so we have this straight:  You live out in the middle of a fucking desert (I can sympathize with that to a degree), and your reaction to being incredibly isolated is to come here at Muenster's request and antagonize everyone until they won't speak to you?

That, sir, is fucking genius.  It's like someone put Tebow's brain in Stephen Hawking's body and then had him wrassle bears.

I didn't mean to imply that was a direct causal relationship. There are several relevant factors, that's just a preview of circumstances.

I don't know who he is. No one requested me to come here. I'm claiming responsibility for this mess.
Quoteantagonize everyone until they won't speak to you?
Someone had me called out pretty good already. I spent way too much time on 4chan, and on the absolute worst of all possible boards there, /pol/.
Sometimes the political commentary there is more entertaining than what can be found in the media, and there are plenty of schizos with good conspiracy theories.
It's a complete shithole full of people considered too over the top for Stormfront, but it's the shithole I call "home".
It's easy to be a dipshit behind anonymity. It's much more difficult to be accountable to your identity. I lost sight of that. My bad.

An anonymous user told me as we were discussing Discordianism on another forum that around here, people take themselves too seriously, pat each other on the back for agreeing with one another, ignore people who disagree with them, and genuinely believe in some greater, left-wing altruistic purpose for getting a kick out of hot dog bun jokes.

I interpreted this as a challenge.

Heh.
Right before I hit "Post", there was an inner voice inside of me telling me, "Don't do this. Please stop doing this."
My inner child, who was sitting in the driver's seat said, "Why not?"
He was completely oblivious to the brick wall he was speeding towards.
The inner voice pondered for a minute, and then said, "You know what? You're right."
And then, like magic, the brick wall disappeared.

So, maybe some backstory is in order... Please note that I *am* aware I'm not telling you anything you're not aware of.

A pretty long while ago, I said something or other on /pol/.
Someone accused me of ripping off the PD, in a similar vein to the way I was recently accused of ripping off Douglas Adams about talking to myself.
I said it completely independently and knew nothing of the PD at the time, but that doesn't matter, you can't win in the face of overwhelming evidence, good thing we have copyright laws.
So I owned up to stealing the joke, and then read the PD to find more jokes to steal.
I was pleasantly surprised, out here in the desert, that there are people like me.
I seen the link to the forum here, but didn't click it.

Skip forward to about 9 months ago.

An anonymous user told me as we were discussing Discordianism on another forum that around here, people take themselves too seriously, pat each other on the back for agreeing with one another, ignore people who disagree with them, and genuinely believe in some greater, left-wing altruistic purpose for getting a kick out of hot dog bun jokes.
He also expressed his distaste for the BIP and the direction in which this place was going, which I hadn't read myself yet, but upon reading it, could sympathize with, but for different reasons.
I saw that the PD was right. A Discordian is prohibited of believing what he reads. So I jumped on the Anti-Discordianism bandwagon and joined in on the manufactured controversy.
You're not supposed to take that book and hand it to people like Jehovah's Witnesses. You're supposed to take it out into the middle of town square, shout loudly about how Satanic it is, and burn it.
When I realized that people can breed faster than the PD/BIP can spread, I felt a great sense of disappointment that the world was never going to end and it's pointless to keep trying.
It was a sign from God that things are never going to get worse. "True Discordians" are those who have never heard of Discordianism.
Everyone laughs at people practicing witchcraft as if focusing all of your mental energy into symbols and then casting them out into the world in the hopes that it will accomplish something is ridiculous, and then turn around and do the same thing...
Christianity was absolutely right. We are terrible people, and Jesus loves us for it.
So when I remembered about this forum, I was like, "this has to be bait..." So I made an account, not because I was trying to shit up your forum and get banned, but because it cannot get any shittier and it's a great place to learn how to be a tripfag.

So, "Fuck me? No. More like fuck you. Set an example, douchefuck. Kill yourself. You're living in a fucking dream world, Neo," and so on.

1.  That may have been true in 2004. 

2.  You should learn to look for yourself.

3.  You should have said you were a teabagger.  It would have made all of this so much easier.  And shorter.

That may have been when he formed the opinion. I didn't even necessarily believe it. It didn't matter. The very existence of a forum where people sit and distill their thoughts on Discordianism together until they agree is pretty Anti-Discordian. It's a pretty good joke, indeed. Like a fly trap. I can imagine the site admin's reaction upon hearing requests for a forum and wondering how serious they were. All it needs now is an FAQ and a list of rules.

2.  You should learn to look for yourself.
You're talking to a guy who will go out and buy wood and screws and build my own computer desk with very little woodworking experience and leave it raw and unsanded, just to accommodate the room that it's sitting in, the chair that is sitting in front of it, and the surround sound system that is mounted to it.
I'm a simple man who values utility over aesthetics. You don't really learn much living your life by the instruction manual. Everything will turn out alright in the long run, and if it doesn't, consider that a lesson learned.

Life is the universe's latest innovation in entropic technology. We're here to help the universe commit suicide. Everything that happens was never going to happen any other way. The only way we will fail is to destroy ourselves. Politics is like a really intense, endless game of Dungeons and Dragons, and it's a pretty amusing analogy when identifying creatures and items. I identify as a Chaotic Neutral Cleric, with no weapons... I'll make sure to include that in my manifesto.

I didn't actually accuse you of ripping off Douglas Adams. Just pointing out your thoughts may not be as unique as you presumed.

It's not so much that people actually *do* agree...
It's that people are *trying*...
Socializing? Internet etiquette? Making friends? Looking forward to each other's company? Connecting to people on a genuine level?

What's the worst that could happen?
I'm 30 years old...

I have a ton of excuses, but you know what they say about those.
Here's one:
I was raised in, and remain in, a very small town in rural Nevada, 200 miles away from the nearest Wal-Mart.
Do I really need to explain just how fucking bad it is that I actually get excited when someone brings up the possibility of a Wal-Mart being built here?
It's not so much that I'm not somewhat self aware, it's that the only portion of my mind that is, is literally conspiring to kill me. That guy has to go into solitary confinement.

You think that's bad? We had a guy from Alaska.

I don't think you did.
When I told you that guy was literally conspiring to kill me, I wasn't lying.
I have to rationalize my shit in hindsight, or he would have won a long time ago.
So, yes. I did.

So you're posting on an internet forum because you're vaguely suicidal?

I'm not judging. It's not a bad reason.
