We've got artists, scientists, scholars, pranksters, publishers, songwriters, and political activists.  We've subjected Discordia to scrutiny, torn it apart, and put it back together. We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

It's back  :argh!:

Still fucked here

Yeah I'm having problems accessing my profile and groups. Was about to go fishing for submissions to Holy Nonsense. Apparently we've gotten some submissions back already but according to Q.G. they're not... They're not great.

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 believe their official word on that is that LRH was working undercover for the US Navy, and had to blend in.

Facebook is still a no-go for me. I can see things and my profile, and the profiles of others, but I can't post or even like things. This is kind of getting on my nerves because I have some fishing and questions to ask for Holy Nonsense.

Grrrr :argh!:

I thought I had the worst job in the world, only it's the second-worst job in the world.  I know this because I was just offered a job that makes my current job look morally okay.

But you're not a lawyer?

"Industrial intelligence analyst."

Close enough.  Doing a discovery is just legal spying.

Most of it's not even that cool, really.  It's mostly watching markets and seeing what goes plonk and why.

Speaking of which...guess what our company's long term strategy is intended to be?

I'm not sure if they have realised that providing market intelligence of areas of interest to law firms means having accurate market intelligence on everything that makes money.

The tail is going to end up wagging the dog.

Well, it's good to be the one holding the leash then, I guess?
