Most of you probably use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit. What these three have in common is that an amount of points is displayed along with each post or comment.

Every other month or so, I like to roam the realms of PD to see how you heathens are doing. Today I had a fnordesque moment when scrolling through whatever thread. While reading a comment I caught myself red-handed looking for the amount of points it had. I must have subconsciously expected the forum to tell me how much I should agree to that specific comment. But it didn't. Even the users' post counts are not trustworthy on here.

Like some sort of animal, I had to think for myself. No wonder the user counts are declining.

They do it while we're distracted, so we won't complain that much. It's an old trick. Timing is key. Things that may make us feel uneasy are announced during major look-at-me-ings. Some will still notice and feel uneasy, some might even loudly oppose, but no critical mass will be reached. In 2009, I felt quite uneasy when Time Warner announced their takeover of DC Comics. I mean how could they, seriously. I felt sad that day.

Today I learned that AT&T is buying Time Warner. Of course this was announced in the middle of the U.S. Presidency Death Match Extravaganza, and of course it went under my radar until today. Look at the assets already owned by Time Warner, which will now be swallowed by AT&T.

I'm feeling quite uneasy right now.

Some people are not allowed to come to the place where I live. Others are not allowed to leave. It's illegal to kill yourself (some explain this by the fact that the destruction of government property is illegal). You're allowed to build a tower, as long as it doesn't worship the Wrong God (TM). If you're a supermarket you can get in trouble if you give away food you couldn't sell. You're not allowed to take most things thrown away by others. We still have some weird Feudal age being-more-equal-than-others shit going on, but we're not supposed to make a big deal out of it. There still are unjust laws based on gender. Oh, and our constitution starts with the invocation of God, which may be the most severe insult to Her.

Cool, you might just have recruited a new member. I specialize in funny memes too!

It only happens where you made line breaks instead of "real" paragraphs. You can see the difference in LibreOffice with this.

BTW: We have some German translation projects being stuck running at Aktion 23, if you wanna join?

It seems that unintelligible and punny forum categories are mandatory for these types of forums. That's nice and all but I honestly couldn't find the translation projects.

Thanks for the formatting help, though.

I corrected the mis-alignment but it seems I can't attach files here.

You could always upload it somewhere else (e.g. https://mega.nz/ ) and post the link.

Yeah, it happens in some paragraphs and I was too lazy to figure out how to change it. I used LibreOffice 5.

EDIT: I'm attaching a .docx version in case somebody wants to edit it. Needless to say: Do what you want with it. By the way, it would be nice if the forum upload allowed .odt files.

Hi, I made a German translation of the BIP. Have fun.

Cheers

I mostly avoid discordians in public. They're all about money and try to isolate you from your friends and family. And I've never really been able to grasp their concept of Lord Xenu..

This is hilarious. I'm considering joining the SONS OF ANAKIN.

I'm thinking the ability to dismiss the ridiculous is inversely proportional to the number of people who believe it?

Beautiful. I'm stealing this.

Not your posts.

Isn't a negation just the most primitive form of an opposite, amongst many others?

No.

Your answers are quite dry. Are you in California?

Or else you'll bore them to death?

Boredom comes from inside. They did this to themselves, officer, I swear.

It's not all solipsism.  You are objectively boring.

Then, perhaps, ye shall seek thy jester in an other castle, Sire.

See?

Any suggestions besides lurking moar?

Be better.

How do?

I suggest going back through all of your own posts, reading them thoroughly... then make like George Costanza, and do the opposite.

What would be the opposite of my posts?
