If you guys want to watch instead of read, http://academicearth.org/. I recommend the Psych lectures with Paul Bloom.

Hey there.  

Nice intro.

I guess it's too late to warn you, but now that you registered, you will never leave.  Ever.  They all come back, eventually.

Not to derail from the video conversation... ;D

But I'm finding this to be quite true!

Oh, also, hello H-Town! I'm sure you'll come to hate yourself for joining us.

I am not a science person, no matter how much I fancy myself to appreciate science. It's because of its entanglement with math, because I honestly find science itself to be beautiful.

But this shit makes me frown SO HARD.

I get the double slit experiment and I get that it's sort of like Schrodinger's cat, but my mind does not understand.

Is all Quantum stuff batshit like this? You'll have to excuse me asking this before Googling, I have to go to bed and have nightmares about particles knowing I'm watching them alsjdhflaskjf

ITT give me nightmares about quantum weirdness.

(I hope I'm right in putting this here instead of AT)

Good luck Nigel! I'll send anything as it comes to me.

Holy fuck, I'm halfway through it and it's GREAT! It's really exciting to see materials I haven't read, submitted by people I don't know! Its really inspiring me to put out a call for submissions for my Discordian Parenting book, and have it be a group effort rather than trying to do it on my own.

In my opinion, Discordianism is half about thinking for yourself in a large group. You really should consider making it a group effort. I know I'd be willing to help (though I'm not a parent, but I was my sister's primary guardian).

As for the new issue: 

This'll be exciting to hear about from everywhere for the next 4 weeks.
Is she taking them to internet court?

Also, this fanfic is the definition of horrormirth for me, especially the videos, during the sex scenes.

I'm up for helping at any point.

I don't even know how to accurately explain how much Principiadiscordia.com sucks. It is truly  the worst forum on the web. If  Principiadiscordia.com were a country, I would hope Barack Obama would bomb the shit out of it. I don't know why other people don't know that it is  the worst forum on the net.

Now we just need to get the whole of the Westboro Baptist Church in jail.

I sure hope so. Quick, someone with a semi serious blog, make a post cataloging the worst forums on the internet and make PD number one!

This forum is medically proven to be the worst forum on the net. This may in fact be the worst forum to have ever existed, and thus the worst forum in the world. It is my firm believe that this is the worst forum ever.

I mourn for Netochka Nezvanova.

met her at the eu-gene generative art mailinglist.

what a bitch.

... for an art project

or something.

brilliant troll though

For an art history class, I focused on net.art and I'm really upset I never got to work with her software or talk to her. Er, them. They'd send out different female models for when they did conferences, to pretend to be Netochka.

If you pissed them off, "she" would revoke your license to their software.  So yeah, pretty bitchy, great troll.

I love old sites, I wish they wayback machine stored things from geocities. We'll have the cache for a while on google, though.

Sites should never be taken down. I will never see so much net.art because of sites being destroyed.

I mourn for Netochka Nezvanova.

[my coworker last week:]

I like Photoshop, but it's expensive. Never tried Flash, I oughta dig around for a torrent...>.>

I have never in my life met anyone who has paid for their Photoshop.

my coworker last week: "so I just bought photoshop."
me: Do you mean you pirated photoshop?
Him: No I paid $70 for it
Me: <pointing and laughing>
Him: <visibly pissed off> You mean I could have downloaded it from the internet for free??
Me: <falls out of his chair laughing>

Aw! Depending on whether or not the people you work with are jackasses, you should enlighten the poor bastard.
