What does discordia mean to you

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Think of it as a Segway with bad gyros.  On my left shoulder, I have TGG, Enabler, Maria, Nigel, and Knuckles, all bouncing up and down and going WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

There's nobody on the right shoulder...My son found his own desert to live in, some buggered off in a cloud of butthurt, some moved away, etc.  So off we go, into oncoming traffic.

There's too many snowbirds, man.  They're total pests.

Fuckin' A right they are.

Hey, and if they listen to me, it's their own damn fault.

What has Discordia done to me?

First, Discordia was a label I could wear when I wasn't Pastafarian or Atheist.
This was my "WOOHOO I FOUND A NEW JOKE RELIGION, LIKE PASTAFARIANISM" phase

Then, it gave me an excuse to be silly, put up silly posters, do silly things.
This was my "ERISFNORDHALFMANHALFBISCUITPINEALISMISSOFUN2351lol" phase

Then, it became a tool to help me "open my mind", locate my biases, challenge my own assumptions, and recognize that I'm mostly wrong about mostly everything. It gave me a platform to form my own and try out different views of how the universe is put together.
This is my current phase, which I'll probably stay in for a while.

So, what is Discordia REALLY?
To me, Discordia is the lab coat I wear when I perform my experiments on reality. Discordia are the weird-ass goggles with which I view the world.  Discordia are the gloves I wear to avoid the bullshit and butthurt stains. Discordia is the compass I use to navigate the world, the needle constantly pointing towards my head (think for yourself, schmuck!) . Discordia is laughing at the unlaughable and being serious about the ridiculous. Discordia is spewing out shit on some internet forum to get the approval of people I don't really know who are*. Discordia is an unmatched left parenthesis. Discordia is a good Norwegian meal of lapskaus, you're never really sure what's in the stew.

*For all I know they might be snuff porn fans or something
