I'm like level 200 already

actual suggestion:


Dan Deacon


his music is a wonderland of awesomeness

I know, what a spag.

other than having read an essay or two
and watching that guy from Waking Life talk about the New Evolution
I haven't had much run-in with trans-humanists. Or is that post-humanists?

what's their deal, exactly?

hell yeah! When will we see some of the other kooky PD characters?



I also think you should draw lmno upside down.

Because I'm lazy and stupid on the subject yet interested:

If you're interested in that, go to the Koala Wallop forums, and go to the "The Octagon" subforum.

can you give us a summary? or the gist of it?

Thurnez Isa, Keeper of the Flail of The Maple Leaf

that's much better

We all consider him IRL dead though.

makes me wish Payne hadn't died. 15 seconds after you posted this, he would have WOMPed these together into some sort of comic strip. It's really too bad he's dead.

exactly!

In a paralell universe, principiadiscordia.com is host to a forum for hardcore neopagans and RPG enthusiasts. Post what your username might be in that universe.

ETA: obviously this is an excuse to post the worst usernames you can think of.

The GASM Mission Feed picks up stuff on flickr as long as there's already a delicious category for it.

For example--

if there's a picture on flickr tagged "orgasm" it won't get picked up by the mission feed
--unless someone tagged something on del.icio.us with the tags "orgasm", and "gasm"

very interesting read, esp the Virginia Tech article linked at the end. He makes some really good points, especially about how the media's mishandling of this epidemic is really making it worse. He mentions a newspaper article about online communities who venerate Eric and Dylan - the Columbine shooters. The article cites one girl who belongs to 20 (twenty!) of these groups and regards the killers as gods.

Ames writes, "The point of the article is that the Internet shows just how sick our kids are. It does not consider the possibility that maybe the kids aren't simply evil but have valid reasons for making Klebold and Harris into heroes. Perhaps they are considered heroes for valid reasons, and the Net allows us easier access into the unofficial truth."

great point. He then goes on to say:

It isn't the schoolyard shooters who need to be profiled -- they can't be. It is the schools that need to be profiled.

A list should be drawn up of the characteristics and warning signs of a school ripe for massacre:

• complaints about bullying go unpunished by an administration that supports the cruel social structure;


• antiseptic corridors and overhead fluorescent lights reminiscent of mid-sized city airport;


• rampant moral hypocrisy that promotes the most two-faced, mean, and shallow students to the top of the pecking order; and


• maximally stressed parents who push their kids to achieve higher and higher scores.

I was in high school during Columbine. In fact, I had to end an Assasination game I was running at the school because we were all gonna get expelled if they found out we were brining water pistols to school and hosing each other. THAT'S NOT A GAME IT'S A CRIME. But valid, at the time. I had friends who wore trenchcoats every day, and got SO MUCH MORE harassment after Columbine.

Justified, that is, if you look at these crimes from a future historian's point of view. Imagine a historian 100 years from now, with no emotional investment in our contemporary culture, looking back on how we live today, and thinking to himself, "My god, how could those poor wretches cope with such hell?" It doesn't take a time machine to think this way. Unofficially, today a lot of people look at these murders as justified, as some kind of vindication. Sympathy is all over the Web. It's revealed in black humor, in "wage slave" T-shirts and in the success of movies like "Office Space" and "Fight Club." It's revealed anywhere it can safely be expressed.

It's an older brother and his friends provoking a little brother, who is addicted to myspace and freaking out hardcore. It's pretty impressive.
