News:

Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

That's what I get for feeling optimistic for just one second

Optimism is a disease.

Unfortunately, so is dread

That's just the back of your mind updating the front of your mind.

I'm always running the latest version, and it updates daily. Never any cool new features, just dread, horror, and ads.

That means we all start over like the past 8-10 years hasn't happened. I think it's a time travel thing but idk for sure.

long story short:


  • those of us who used to hang out in #discord, our community IRC channel, were increasingly frustrated at IRCs lack of tools to keep out dedicated trolls and assholes
  • Meanwhile, facebook is getting worse and worse, it's actually making us all stupider, so I made a personal pledge to spend less time there.
  • So I started a Discordian Discord server which functions as a cabal. The intent is not to become big or popular, but to have a cool nucleus of people who enjoy sharing cyberspace together.
  • As a Discordian cabal, we welcome people to share their wacky niche interests. It's kind of a sharing/learning vibe where we are interested to hear about the cool things you're reading about / doing
  • We used to have a bunch of crazy subcabals with their own meeting schedules. Like, at one point we had a Gurdjieff book club, a movie watching club, a meditation group, a deleuze focused philosophy chat circle, and an occult workgroup. And I'm forgetting a few!
  • other information should be discovered in-game

Do you think it's worth it for someone who can't video chat? Kinda limited to keyboard communication at the moment.

Link to the Aftermathematics Research Cabal discord server available on PM request.

Our weekly video meetings have also tapered off a bit, would be nice to get some new blood over there.

I've been a little bit of an absentee landlord since I had the baby, but I go back to work next week so I'll be there a bunch more.

If you've been an absentee landlord, I've been an absentee tenant. Is there a link to info regarding the Aftermathematics Research Cabal? I don't know what that is and I'm interested to see if I'm interested to see it.

I picked a really shitty time to return. So damn busy... Should have some time this weekend, maybe I'll fill y'all in with the weird twist my life has taken. Maybe I'll leave it to your imagination. Either way, Hi! And I WIN!

Also, you're not voting for Biden, you're voting THROUGH Biden.

IE, whomever he picks as his VP, because he isn't going to last long himself.

I like that spin on it. Will definitely be a more or less powerful take depending on who he picks. Hopefully the DNC can Neo out of the way of the next few shots they take at their own foot.

I'm down.

And TWJ is fine.  He just had a rocky start.

Cool.

I think the best start is to try different approaches on how to get people to do something that they would otherwise think is too unwholesome and report back here with what works and what doesn't. The more memetic of us (looks at Cram) could possibly come up with posters etc for us to circulate. Personally, I think it's the type of thing that is easier with a one on one convo, but anything that can be distributed en masse would, of course, be helpful.

Reminder to everyone, we do not have to be truthful, we do not have to be logical (unless that is what works in a given case). The only thing we gotta do is get Ferret Head the fuck out.

It's tough and a lot of what needs to be done just sucks. I had a convo the other day with a buddy that started with "You realize we have to vote for Biden, right?" and it felt so gross to say, I'm not a huge fan of "lesser of two evils" rhetoric, but luckily in this case, I was able to present the idea successfully.

So you might understand that it's slightly difficult to smile through the rage.

Dok,
Will get over this soon enough, but not right now.

Further, I didn't realize any of that was happening. Maybe even my own fault I didn't realize. Even further, had I realized, in all honesty, I don't know if I would have stepped in because 4+ years ago a LOT of PDers, including you, dogpiled on me about shit that I never said/did while I was dealing with extreme poverty and depression. No one cared to help in any way except Charley and Alty. They were literally the only ones. Thing is, I don't and will never hold a grudge against you or anyone else here on PD (except Nigel). Fuck the past, it's stupid anyway. I'd much prefer to spend my time taking down Orange Hitler and his fucking retarded cronies.

Point.  It's Nigel I hate, not you.

My apologies.

Cool beans.

Back on topic, I cannot stand emboldened racists and bigots, let's take this fucker down. Love or hate, we have a lot of smart people here, let's do what we do best and convince people to do things they normally wouldn't  :lulz:

ya know... in a strange way Trailer Park Hitler and the Low-rent Reich are true uniters in that I would Happily stand shoulder to shoulder with otherwise intolerable folks if we were all focused on fucking their shit up for good and all. that's really saying something.

Same. I didn't like you too much when you first signed up, but if Roger et al have come to tolerate you, then I'll happily leave all former notions I had of you in the past. We may have an opportunity here for one of the best GASMs ever.
