Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It's not trolling, it's just satire.

Any other links to this? I knew foldit had potential when I first heard about it, and that results were starting to trickle out of it but this is fantastic.

I adore the concept of using the combined resources of human brains as a sort of superorganism.

Foldit is a perfect example of distributed problem solving by amateurs. I've been waiting for this to happen since it was first launched.

I didn't even know this was going on until I read it on Yahoo this morning.  That's what I call teamwork!
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I saw "crack" "AIDS" and "Dungeons and Dragons", and immediately assumed I was reading an article about epidemics of the 1980's.
Formerly something else...

I'm glad to see video games being used for something other than helping people wait patiently for death.
