Total Madness

[Fujikoma]

I keep hearing that. I'm not completely stupid, my replies aren't near as bad as I make them out to be... More of a self-deprecating sense of humor, here...

I'm not advising any supplements of any kind, I refuse to. If it works for me, great, for someone else, it could cause a mother-fucking catastrophe. Of this, I am aware. I simply try to point out things that they may not have considered, which may help them, somewhat indirectly, with their issues, and advise them to seek help, whether from family, or from a cognitive therapist, or psychiatrist, if it sounds serious. I'm not mentioning sunshine and rainbows or anything, simply things that have helped me with my darker thoughts and notions, considerations it took me many years to learn to take into account... In all my blind bumbling, the only advice I ever got from anyone is "Get over it. Stop whining.", which, of course, just pissed me off and made things worse.

But if you're warning me about something specific, please, let me know, you're all starting to worry me with your concern.

EDIT: Well, there WAS one good source of advice... A cognitive therapist I saw when I was younger helped me out a great deal... Introduced me to Zen Buddhism, though it would be almost a decade later until I started to actually read about it, and only small amounts at that... But it helped a little, got my mind off of things... I will say that reading a few books on Buddhism helped me a great deal, and, it turned out "Get over it.", while poorly worded, and practically uninformative without throwing in a lot more stuff, was kind of the advice I needed, not necessarily advice that would be helpful to others.

The point at which my life really began to change was when I got my hands on a copy of the Illuminatus Trilogy (not that I'm advising anyone on Y/A read it)... Read it once, tossed it down, and moved right on to the blue cliff record, but it had me think about a few things and stop beating myself up over so much crap.

EDIT EDIT: And keep in mind, I'm not in this forum to advise anyone on anything, you guys seem pretty capable of handling problems yourselves. Simply here for the entertaining conversation, as well as input and criticism... Were anyone to ask, I'd be happy to try to help, but I highly doubt that will be an issue, much less that anyone here would want my help... I don't want this turned around against me, I've tried to word it the best I can.

When I first went in there I decided to give legit answers and only legit answers, even if the question was utterly ridiculous.

That lasted about a week.  Maybe you'll fare better. Either way anyone in the Cats section is bound to be bored/obsessed/ready to jump down your throat.

The best way to Troll the Healthcare section, is to begin your answer with "I'm not a Doctor or anything, but". That pretty much covers everything. Unless it's "Pregnancy", in which case, steer clear of any question that isn't about names.

I got about 30 thumbs down one time for suggesting 'Vaginika' for a girl.
So that's the name I always suggest now. Then, if it gets reported, the appeal is always upheld.
If you are that interested in Y/A, I have a complete breakdown study taken over 2 years, of their dumbass automated moderation engine. How it makes it's decisions, etc.
It's not a *magic missile* or anything, but it's often more interesting than the rest of the site  is.
I'm presuming you have a bunch of back up accounts? And a couple of sacrificials?

Their profanity bots will let you say Cuntybollocks, fucked, fucker, fuckered, shite, (but not shit), unless it's 'dogshit' or 'horseshit' (not bullshit though) You can say Cunting,  Pissflaps, or Squishy,  but a friend of mine was suspended for saying 'Vagina' . 
You can't go into the Pets section, and refer to your female Dog as a bitch. Or your male chicken as a Cock. You can get away with as many titties as you like, but you can't say tit. Penis is frowned on too, so say 'beanus' instead. Or use the plural,  'Peni'.

I've been trying to avoid profanity, though, thank you for your input, Beast. I would indeed appreciate a link to the information you mentioned. It's not a magic missile, but it'll do in a pinch.

Think you'd get in trouble for suggesting odd names for kids like "Afro Samurai" or "Mister poopypants"? I don't know, just saying the word "afro" may be a hate crime these days.

Yes, Twiddleton, I have been lurking the cat forum over the past ten minutes, and while I have noticed that cat people seem to be much like the supervillains they're frequently portrayed as in movies, I'm strongly resisting the urge to ask a stupid question like "At what point does a cat undergo apotheosis?"... Think I can get away with just one without getting banned?

Give it a shot if you like.

BB- I got a couple of VNs for the same thing

Cross your fingers, this could get ugly.

I doubt they'd know what it means... Or could be bothered to look it up... They might be afraid to answer it.

BadBeast- LMFAO!!!!

[BadBeast]

I just answered it. But the other answerers are much more deranged than me, and they are really believing that shit too!  9 lives!  And Cat's don't die from natural causes? They're all emotionally dead psychopaths, like thier cats.
And not half an hour ago, I was swearing I'd never go back in that place.  Oh well, I'm nothing if not fickle flexible.

And reckless now.

LOL, are you  referring to the post about the 23 cats gathered in a circle, and the cat, at the end of it's ninth life, joining the Justified Ancients of Bast? Please tell me you caught that all, and are just being silly (likely, but I never can tell these things)... That had to have been someone from here... Plus, I've seen that name before, on the Spag question...

Thanks for the answer.

[BadBeast]

Yeah, don't turn your back on that one. But as far as nastiness goes, Slitherin, and Cafe Mocha are the ones who need to have their tails tied together, and hung over a washing line. And mocked. Then it's sack and brick time.

If you look closely, that's a clearly a Discordian.

[Fujikoma]

I know. The number 23 along with the Justified Ancients of "insert something here" tipped me off, as well as the "fnord" in an answer to a previous question of mine.

Yeah,  I think Actual Answer is one of the good guys. I've had a few of his contacts in my contacts box, over the years,  he's more Kitteh than Cat. The Yahoo Kitteh contintingent are nothing like the Cat people.

[BadBeast]

And Iason Oubache is in his contacts box. (Dead giveaway, that is)

I commented on one of that person's questions about Dominionism.
