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.

Just seen a sign near an Ikea outlet:

"DIVORCE FROM £399"

I can't tell if this is the best or worst marketing decision ever made.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

You'll only get one video today, since the wireless phone knocks my internet connection out, and I was 94% complete on the upload.  Thanks, wireless phone makers and Youtube's stupid upload system.  Oh no, a BitTorrent style upload is too good for the Masters Of The Internet at Google.  No, we'll make everyone do it the old fashioned way, a direct upload that, if the connection fails for even a quarter of a second, wastes the entire effort.

BitTorrent is for terrorists to pirate movies and tv shows; what legitimate need could any person have for such technology?

Will a vote be required for every video, or are choices to be made after a certain number of uploads?

Only when there are choices to be made.  I think if I bugged everyone every episode, you'd tire of it, and there isn't really a game-changing choice every half hour.  More like every 5 hours or so.

It may be just me, but the contrast is really dark in a lot of these playthroughs.

Youtube reminds me of yahoo. It doesn't function, and then there's the comments.
I tried to upload something or other to youtube a couple of months ago and they said it was too long and I didn't have a premium account or whatever the fuck they require.
That's why you see movies there split up into parts.

What's always surprised me is how quickly it happens. From the experiences I've seen here and what I've been told by friends, the conversations seems to be "Hi I'm X, I like Y and here's my dick"

I could start to understand this more if the conversation from the female/other side was " Hi, I'm X, I like Y and want to see your dick/here's my vagina" I'm told that this is not usual.

Which makes it rather tragic. There's countless men that can only offer the world a name, interest and evidence of a Y chromosome.

Yep.

I have never, EVER asked for a dick pic, but I have received literally hundreds. Possibly thousands.

Yeah, it is on my screen as well.  Ferelden is meant to be a dark and muddy land, smelling of dog hair and unwashed peasants.  Also, doom.  And Dunwall is a slowly decaying, industrial shithole of oppression, plague, rats and dark magic.

Oh shit, people from a "legitimate" news agency want to ask me "questions" about my recently published article.  Urgently, apparently.

I'm not sure what just happened.

Either this is your big chance, or we'll never hear from you again.
