Discordian Recipes / Re: Wanted a chelada

« on: September 22, 2013, 04:52:09 am »

Eleven out of ten East Coast Discordians have determined that chelada is a crime against nature. Except for EoC, who is less "Discordian" and more "wrathful, maladjusted protoplasm" and gleefully distributes the stuff to unsuspecting chumps.

Normally, I would put this sort of thing down to being a matter of taste, but not this time. There comes a time in everyone's life where they have to throw reason, perspective, and fairness to the wind and say, "What am I willing to put up with today? NOT FUCKING THIS!"

This is that time.




actually I'm pretty sure we already had this discussion after the 2011 Memorial Day Meatup thread, and everyone walked away having the exact same opinions they started out with

Apple Talk / Deliberate Power Outages in Detroit

Story is over a week old, but other than the Fox Detroit site, the story doesn't seem to be on mainstream news at all.

Power was shut off to "send a strong message" to customers who weren't reducing their energy use fast enough. In 90-degree heat, without warning to anyone.

Hahahaha yeah! Is this the part where your troll really comes alive?

Cladistic analysis of neoreaction

"Cladistic analysis of neoreaction"

"Cladistic analysis of neoreaction"

Yeah.

You pretty much summed it up.

What does it even they don't know.

I bet this is what quantum physicists feel like all the time.

This makes me wonder if I subconsciously went into geology in order to save my blood pressure. When people get geology wrong, it's usually benign, not a total misappropriation of core theoretical principles. No one uses the language of Original Horizontality or the Law of Superposition to validate their pseudointellectual bullshit.

There's the whole matter of denying deep time and such, but that's just people being flat wrong, rather than abusing the language of science to build flimsy belief systems.

Found the fucking dead mouse

It had, of course, crawled into a nearly inaccessible spot in the underside of the refrigerator, right in front of the fan, and died. This, at least, explains why I had such a hard time pinpointing the smell.

I am attempting to devise effective ways to clean out the space, which is full of little machine-y parts that are all interconnected and has no room for hands.

That BN thinks fascism is simply a "nationalist form of socialism despised by most neoreactionaries" shows his own intellectual weakness in studying the history and alliances of fascism, and is part of a longstanding liberal conservative (ie mainstream right) project to conflate the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany in order to justify American action to contain the former.

How does it feel, being a dupe to Cold War propaganda memes? 

I always wondered about that. It results in such a bizarrely skewed impression of history, that I feel like I'm looking at a Cubist painting of historical events.


I enjoy the way BN does not actually structure any arguments, but rather comes up with, uh, "snappy" and "intellectual" retorts to being called a halfwit scum-sucking fucktard and then posts links to the Big Poppa Fucktard's ramblings.

In ascending order of "Why My Day Has Been Kinda Crap," from trivial whining to actual bad thing

I think you got that the wrong way around.  Coffee is always top of the list.

Normally I would agree, but I feel at least slightly responsible for letting my withdrawal symptoms get to this level. I should probably schedule a few days for detox, during which time my brain will shrink to about the size of a chicken egg.

Scrid! I need 100 beers please

In ascending order of "Why My Day Has Been Kinda Crap," from trivial whining to actual bad thing:

I have a crippling caffeine addiction, and I took too long to get to my first cup of coffee for the day. This means the whole day is plagued by an untreatable headache. I should probably do something about this problem of mine.

I think there's a dead mouse in the kitchen somewhere. I can't find it.

There was a large crash on a highway near me today. Schoolbus involved, looked like people had been injured.



So all I can say now is, these artichokes I'm cooking better turn out to be nice and tasty or Grumpy Cainad is gonna be REALLY grumpy.

Apple Talk / Re: Why Dirty Old Uncle Roger Opposes Drug Use and Shut Up.

« on: September 17, 2013, 12:58:38 pm »

Drinking makes everyone ELSE's jokes way more funny. I'm a very friendly, gregarious drunk when I keep it below the "totally shitfaced" threshold, at which point I fall asleep.

This makes me realize that alcohol is not the drug I am after when I drink socially. The drug I'm after is LAUGHING MY GODDAMN GUTS OUT, and a bit of booze helps that happen faster, and with people I wouldn't normally click with quite that well.

This is why I no longer use marijuana. It fucks me up in a way wherein I'm 100% aware of how slow and stupid it makes me, which makes me just want to hide in a comfortable hole for a bit until I get my brains back.

I think the French have it figured out (you can skip the verses in between the ~~~~, apparently they aren't sung as part of the anthem today):

Let's go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!


Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your batallions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!

~~~~

This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,
What do they want?
For whom these vile shackles,
These long-prepared irons? (repeat)
Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!
What emotions that must excite!
It is us that they dare to consider
Returning to ancient slavery!

What! These foreign troops
Would make laws in our home!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!
Vile despots would become
The masters of our fate!

Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,
The disgrace of all groups,
Tremble! Your parricidal plans
Will finally pay the price! (repeat)
Everyone is a soldier to fight you,
If they fall, our young heros,
France will make more,
Ready to battle you!

Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
Spare these sad victims,
Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
But not these accomplices of Bouillé,
All of these animals who, without pity,
Tear their mother's breast to pieces!

~~~~

Sacred love of France,
Lead, support our avenging arms!
Liberty, beloved Liberty,
Fight with your defenders! (repeat)
Under our flags, let victory
Hasten to your manly tones!
May your dying enemies
See your triumph and our glory!


We will enter the pit
When our elders are no longer there;
There, we will find their dust
And the traces of their virtues. (repeat)
Much less eager to outlive them
Than to share their casket,
We will have the sublime pride
Of avenging them or following them!

Apple Talk / Re: Are black names weird or are you just racist?

« on: September 17, 2013, 12:31:23 pm »

The weirdest name that I personally know of is attached to a white girl, who happens to be one of my best friends. If that wasn't the case, I'd probably fall into the mindset of "blacks sometimes name their kids weird things," because it isn't really something I think about. That's kind of the background assumption that I think a lot of middle class white Americans make.
