"There's been a fire and explosion at Fukishima reactor #4" or "Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant may be overheating right now" would have been better.

But, uh, media.  Complaining about the media being childish, shallow and divorced from the issues is like complaining at the sun for shining.  And all of you here should know that by now.

We do. I didn't think about it as complaining so much as thinking about it. It's good to remind oneself from time to time.

I think I begin to understand why the classic Evil Badass Overlord types tend to punish failure with death.  At the end of the day the difference between malice and incompetence is difficult to distinguish.  We live in a social structure that has prettymuch always been built on the idea that at least MOST people can't read minds and so a person may pass off criminality as ignorance, folly, or chance.  I'm not saying this is what's happening, but you can never know if Mr. Weiner dropped the ball or "took one for the team" and dropped his privacy(or had it done for/to him).  The end result has been a lot of pointless and banal attention grabbing by a media that I imagine has folks that know full well what plutonium poisoning does to people.  It is much easier (if you're just a killa like that) to punish treason and incompetence equally with death ancient Bushido style. But then there are people that (allegedly) operate this way now and I'm sure they know how to arrange for a media distraction, but you never do know.

Well you could start start playing roleplaying games.  Maybe work up to a full scale live action group.  Then you may put together a small caravan of gypsy wagons to sell various Renaissance-fair like trinkets in the local city square just to support your gaming habit and buy snacks.  Perhaps you could dress like Amish people and pass out nicely made fliers that make the lifestyle look posh compared to the apocalyptic death sure to befall them if they keep "Livin' English."  Could go to a Unitarian church that's having a "Bakesale for Haiti" day and offer a 50 dollar bill wrapped up in crazy dada in exchange for the leftovers that don't sell.  Find out how many folks are still suckers for snake oil, then sell them bottom dollar snake oil cut with whatever oil is cheapest at the local grocery store.  Run out of steam, literally.

 


Just trying to see what this looks like on pixels.


Excellent

Alright, I think I get it.  Took a moment to realize that the man had been posting here himself and now has a handle of "Love" on his account.  Then I looked at his post history..  Never fear!  When I post on these forums it's to share art and ideas because I like Discordianism a bit and Eris a lot.

He seems to be attempting to sell himself on just about every post and mostly caught up in characterizing himself.  I will from time to time portray characterizations But they are mostly fiction and I know it.  It seems that he's trying to "wear himself" in his posts, but is a poor tailor and a worse tale teller.  That said he seems to be of high intelligence, knowledge, and motivation, but seeks influence and has only the tools of techno-marketing to work with.  It comes off as a very optimistic form of the Borg that just wants everyone to have clean water and buy other crap.  Leadership incorporates more than that and my experience is that it gains much of it's power from personal sacrifice and the ability to not just flashpan inspire people but also actually help them.  Not that I'm an expert or anything.

Thank you.. and now to power read for a bit.

Ok, running a search...

No matches here.  Maybe just a hint of what you mean?  I liked the videos so far.

Anyone see where this is going?

Clearly they do know, imagine the short term funding such a move would free up in local and state gov systems. If they anticipate an emergency this could be a sudden(but planned) influx of working cash.  Also could just wind up in the hands of private "Educational contractors" similar to privatized prisons.  Or not.

Upon only light research I'll consider further comparisons to this Ben Mack a very flattering compliment.

Neat interview I found: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6757990819784402795#

Don't know who this Ben Mack fella is, but Google is teaching me as I type!  After a public rant performance someone told me I sounded like Bill Hicks.  Didn't know who he was at the time either.  I sure do now though.  Thank Whomever for the transistor and it's ability to make forgotten events kept in dusty storage rooms on tape potentially viral again.

I need to get back on these.

They're nuts! Excellent, I encourage you to not only get back on them, but to polish, expand, and expose them to the public! 

Also what is NSFW?
         

Not Suitable For Work.

A lot of us surf this forum from work.  If it's likely to get us in the shit with our bosses, label it.

Will do! Mostly going to post Audio here.  It won't likely be very vulgar(not a strong part of my nature), but you may wish to keep certain folks out of the loop. Also I make & post the files myself so they should be clean as loaded from the links I put from here to my site.

No actually the audio you hear will not be terribly sexual for the most part.  I've got a plan to make the industry more entertaining, but would rather expand the market than fight for everyone else's share.  that means breaking into middle-america.  The overtly graphic stuff just doesn't sell.  But this is my personal creative art, so I'm keeping it PG-13, but if there was an ontological rating system I'm hoping they would rate me like   OP: Ontological Prick: This material deemed unsuitable for conscious beings everywhere. It contains speculation, graphic philosophical violence, and nonsensical interludes. May not be suitable for children or livestock.

Also what is NSFW?

I'm guessing at this point that everything you post will be "erotica" in some way or another?

If you must, remember to label links NSFW, if that's what they are.

I'm not really pretending Eris is anything but the worst thing that never happened to me.  I'm also immovable on the prettiness thing.

Who cares?  It is what it is.  I mean, if you're into geriatric psycho porn, more power to you.

Actually the age joke is one of my favorites.  You see for the biz I'm setting up I'm going to build a mythology into my marketing.  A tale that I'm not gonna spill all at once here, but essentially a mishmash if various theistic and non theistic mythoi.  I'm going to paint a world not just darker but less meaningful and then make it funny.  I'm going to use alot of thematic elements from Discordianism, Gamer culture, Classical Greece & Rome, Monotheism, Polytheism, Paulytheism, Fraternal Orders, or whatever else and paint it against a background of normalcy and despair.  Give it a little time and I'll show you, cause it's not like it's the end of the world or anything

How'd that work out for you, old boy?

It's fun so far.  Gotta say that post scared the giblets out of my pet chicken, all of it true.  I guess you guys get enough fresh new Eris lovers in here full of this Principia Discordia thing and with a fresh copy of the Illuminatus! trilogy.  I'll bet some of them were super normalized before exposure.  I think it's like when a hardcore and talented sinner converts to Islam or Christianity (few convert to Judaism but I know @least 1).  Even other people in their faith can find them too much.  The big difference is that you guys seem to have no real inhibitions about bursting (through prick or over-inflation) their balloon.  Please bear for a moment that I'm not one of those types.  I like to use nonsense as somthing of a seasoning or surreptitious poison.
