QuoteI work with this Silent Monkey Majority, they are my students and my classmates. I think it's just willful ignorance. They know something Awful is going on, somewhere over their heads, but they think that ignoring it is the best choice. They tell me it's just not relevant to their lives, you see. Not relevant to putting food on the table, getting the kids to school, or paying rent and bills. Even though that Awful pulls the strings they have to dance on everyday.
They don't know what to do with people like us. Usually, they just stare like befuddled cattle and write you off with a dumb smile. They know you're smart and they don't really understand anything you say. So it's easier to nod and smile and ignore you.
QuoteThat's just "Bob" borrowing "processor time". This also explains spontaneous combustion.

Under a bridge.
Look, the world is nut-to-butt with people that let the pot or the beer do the thinking for them. At that point, they're no longer "potential", they're "useless". And for every genius you hear about, there's 50 whose different wiring led them to melt into a pile of human goo.
What do you suggest we do about it? Me, I'm just trying to get by, and maybe catch me a little SlackTM. Saving the world is a thankless task...No, more than thankless, because they'll KILL you for waking them up.
QuoteYou really want to know?
Okay.
You're a fucking freak. You, me, and everyone like us. These monkeys shamble through life, obsessed with beer and mating and Nascar, in no particular order...And if they had their way, they'd kill us all just for being different. Not because they're cruel and callous (they are), and not just because they're ignorant and brainwashed, but because we have "Bob" and they don't. They can sense that they're missing something we have, and they'd happily brain us with the jawbone of an ass to get it.
There's nothing to explain about them. They are what they are, miserable, unhappy primates plodding their way through the life that has been arranged for them. What needs explaining is us. Why can't we just shut up and let things go, like everyone else? Why must we ask "why" and "how" and "why did they haul off that nice old man that used to live down the street?".
Maybe we were brought up wrong, or have bad chromosomes, or perhaps we were dropped as babies.
That happens, you know. Maternity nurses don't like to talk about it, but it does.
QuoteAgree w/ EoC. That one really inspires some existential Horrormirth.
What the fuck does it mean when The Future comes back for a visit and says, "Just kidding!"?

I. Fucking. Love that album.
The very subtle use of Fiona Apple's back up in Bridge Over Troubled Waters gives me chills every single time.
QuoteYou know what else doesn't have any nipples?

Whatever do you mean?
QuoteYeah, I don't know why everyone's so keen to jump on this Abstain guy. We barely have any evidence against him!
