Acosmicist UNLIMITED fightin' the power thread

[Acosmicist]

Discordian texts are everywhere.

There are a good deal of them that would appeal to the regulars on this board, particularly the unironically liberal, altruistic sorts who still haven't figured out that evil doesn't exist.

If, ever, you stumble upon an idea which may or may not be true, regardless of whether it actually is or not, if you wouldn't be surprised if people believe it, ALWAYS CLAIM IT IS TRUE WITH CONFIDENCE, because that's what you usually do anyway.

JonB, your art is nice and you could probably get more appreciation for it if you simply presented it as your art rather than shoehorning it into threads willy-nilly.

Also, regardless of what you may have read about Discordians on Facebook, we actually aren't all that impressed by word salad or self-conscious, forced "zaniness". A lot of concepts and methods of self-expression that were once transgressive and avant-garde are now... well, recognizable and not only passe but actively boredom-inducing. We no longer live in the suited, strictured fifties, we live in an era where this guy

is fucking impossible to get away from. There is a gay couple who dress as Camo Chewbacca and stroll by my house every Saturday evening holding hands. So the fuck what, nobody cares.

We're in the post-transgression era. Try being authentic, vulnerable, and honest, that might shock a few people, or at least gain their respect.

We're all telling the same old boring ass jokes.
You're telling this one.

It's not all that impressive either.

I'm not growing up. You can't make me.

Now you know the real reason why they tell kids that Santa puts presents under their tree if they are good, and then they graduate to "Jesus died for your sins".

It's not what you know, it's who you know, right?

So make sure to go around patronizing everyone as if fairies are actually having tea parties in the garden, because otherwise you'll end up a poor, miserable low-life like me.

Except, of course, for the fact that Libertarianism is not in the slightest self-interest of Libertarians.

That depends on which Libertarian you're asking.

Would you care to elaborate upon how Libertarianism was in Loughner's self interest, or are you still playing a game where you try to make people cringe because you think being unoffendable is a laudable trait?

I'm still playing a game where I try to make people cringe.
But it's not because I am unoffendable.
It's your cringing that offends me.

No, no.  You see... that's the joke.

It's as if someone told you what we were all about, and you simply swallowed it without asking what flavor it was.

No. Really. I get it. I got it before I ever made an account here.
There is nothing wrong with loving the smell of your own shit if your shit really does smell like roses.
So I'm giving you the opportunity to shit all over the place and admire your work.
You should say thank you.

I achieved Hall of Shame status in just a handful of hours posting?

This has to be a record.

Actually, no.  Not even close.

It might surprise you how many bags of douche there are exactly like you out there. It won't surprise anyone here, of course.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. I see them all the time.

I think you're unaware just how many fartsmellers there are just like you all over the place with your meta-meta-meta...humor and your counter-counter-counter...culture.

Honestly, just join the fucking Catholic clergy.

I was briefly worried that the new guy had been banned when his UNLIMITED thread popped up and he wasn't posting anywhere.

And then he started posting again.
