Hi, guys! I'd introduce myself, but I don't think you'd give a dang... I suppose one might want to know if I was a Discordian... I am, in fact, an Agnostic, but I really dig what ya'll might be trying to do. I read this book a while back, was written, I don't know, in the 70's or something, anyway, it was really awesome, and I read it because of some things I'd read on wikipedia, during one of my late-night research-junkie keyboard-gnawing fits... I had stumbled across something about the KLF, and I followed the link maze from there, I promptly went out and bought the book "The Illuminatus Trilogy", and it was good... Anyway, as you can see, my info is rather dated, or comes from wikipedia (not to mention, while I've only read small portions of the other texts, and the entirety of the Schrodinger's Cat book (and I really didn't like that one as much) I have spent a bit of time reading up on Zen Buddhism), but still... This was years ago... I must say, as disturbing as it may sound, Eris actually answered a lot more of my prayers than Yahweh... Still, once an agnostic, there's no turning back, from my experience, but perhaps someone with more experience would say something different.
I'd like to assume that we can all agree that shit is getting way too serious, if you don't like swear words, go fuck a goat or something, freak... But that is only an assumption, colored quite heavily by my own preconceived notions, which are bad things, but hey, we can't all be perfect. Anyway, whether you're socialist, libertarian, anarchist, somewhere in between any of those, it is possibly getting more and more difficult to shake the idea that the 2 party system merely exists to fuck with us while the globalists enact their agenda, if you believe in that hogwash... Maybe people thought Obama would get us out of the war... Personally, I think as soon as the guy won the election, he became a hostage of sorts... Think about it, if some black ops team killed him and his family, and blamed it on enraged hillbillies with shotguns (no offense, enraged hillbillies, I feel your pain), a lot of people would buy it and support some kind of crackdown... Wait, screw all this political nonsense, I think there's another forum for that... Why'd you have to go and make everything so confusing?
Anyway, I've found a few pockets of seriousness... The only resistance to said seriousnesses are Pastafarians, that I can see, and while they're doing an ok job, strength of numbers would seriously help... On Yahoo answers, in the religion and spirituality section, there is some kind of Christian vs. Atheist vs. Agnostic crap going on, complete with trolls from all sides, and I just think it would be funny were someone to dispose of it in an unexpected manner, like an unexpected flood of Erisians (I'd never claim credit for it, I'd be hunted down and brutally murdered)... That'd knock their socks off... I'm trying to get them all to shush and be more polite, but, you know how that goes, some asshole is all butthurt because a bunch of people died a couple hundred years ago, and they just can't let go, and that's about half the people posting there, contributing to the cycle of viciousness... I understand, I was once one of those people, but what seems to be developing is a pocket of negative energy, and it would be nice to pop the bubble.
I'm not angry or vengeful... I seriously want these people to understand that their whole lives don't need to be devoted to hate...
And it's a possible first post, because I already had a profile, and probably posted here once or twice while drunk out of my mind.
hey Fujikoma. welcome aboard!
You can be an agnostic and still be a Discordian. Hell, you can be a Christian and still be a Discordian. We even let Europeans in (granted, they have their own bathrooms and drinking fountains, but I still think we're being very progressive, all things considered). Except those fucking Belgians. They can just run around out in the cold in their wooden shoes, the cunts.
Also, don't pray to Eris if you know what's good for you. Ask LMNO about that. He STILL has a bad case of the jimjams from the infamous "30 days" incident.
Also, Pastafarians - in my experience - are a pack of humorless churls, who should be used as floats to contain the oil spill. Bastards, every one of 'em.
I suspect that has something to do with their asshole founder, Bobby Henderson. Birds of a feather and all that.
Anyway, welcome. :)

Who, the Pastafarians? Meh. I went over to Venganza.org, and ranted a bit. I was told they had no time for silliness.
Yeah, the Pastafarians. Bobby was rarely there, but he's a humorless churl all right.

As far as I could tell, they were all zealous atheists, which - as it turns out - are every bit as annoying as militant Christians. I really can't see the difference between Pat Robertson and Richard Dawkins, other than the tone of the gibberish spilling out of their mouths.
Most of them are. There's a few UU and Christians floating around, or there were when I was at Venganza back in 2006. Capallini's reign as Bobby's chosen one might have changed things a lot. When were you there, Dok?

2006/2007, IIRC.
It was a bunch of pompous stuffed shirts, really. "We can't be bothered to talk to you until you've mastered all of Dawkin's material". Sounded just like the fucking Wiccan frauds.
I get what your saying, Dok. Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome! I'm always expecting to get "STFU, noob, GTFO" or something along those lines...
About the Pastafarians, yeah, I can see how most of them would be militant atheists... I don't get militant atheists most places I go, really, but they don't start too much trouble with me, usually. Sometimes they do, but mostly they seem to just keep their distance and keep things friendly, they don't want me to unload on them for some reason.
Screw Dawkins, I refuse to read that garbage (wow, ignorant much, Fujikoma?), from what I've read from some of his followers posts on message boards, their a bunch of soulless, hate-speech addicted fucktards, and what can I say, a person has a right to be such. I'll take any chance I can get to gently guide hateful bastards away from their cycle of viciousness, I'll even pretend to be one of them to gain their trust, act like a total troll, then turn around and slip in a seed of suggestion... It works. It opens people up, infiltrate their monkeysphere and anything is possible. Even more fun, perhaps, is converting Christians to Satanism, but I don't do that kind of thing anymore...
Praying to Eris? Bad? I'll say so, most of the answers I got were dizzy spells, forgetfulness and, erm, I forgot... But, sometimes there is a lesson to be learned. Too bad I forgot them all. 30 days incident? I'll have to look into that. I think the forgetfulness and dizzy spells were simply a subtle way of teaching me to alter my perspective, and to take nothing for granted.

Good. Satanism is fucking
tedious.
Glad to see that I have stumbled upon such an entertaining and informative group. I can only hope my own posts will be as useful to the community, as opposed to being tedious bullshit, which, it looks like they are fast approaching.

With the exception of the standard "ME SO CRAZY" claim, you seem to be doing fine so far.
Ah, well, just getting you all prepared for the day I eventually flip out (it WILL happen, unfortunately) and say some REALLY wild shit... Better you see it coming. I'll try to keep that sort of talk to a minimum.
And thank you for your compliment, Dok... I wasn't expecting that.

I don't know why. I am a fairly predictable guy. Push button A, get result B. Problem is, some people have trouble with the concept that pushing button C doesn't get the same result as button A, if you catch my drift. Every human being is a creature of habit to some degree. The important part is observing those habits.
1Thing here is: We have a few people with (or who have had) genuine mental illnesses, myself included (nasty brain virus a little while ago, made me paranoid and delusional). These mental illnesses make them quite miserable, and bragging about being a (presumably self-diagnosed) "psychotic" is kind of like telling a guy in a wheelchair "Wow! I wish I was a paraplegic! I'd never have to look for a chair!".
1 Just kidding. I'm actually a total bastard.
I see. I'm not bragging, though.
Anyway, I am sorry if that kind of thing is offensive, and kind of pointless of me to even bring it up... I get your point, and this hopefully won't be an issue in the future. Thank you for taking the time to correct me.

It's all good. If Pix had seen it though, there'd be nothing but blood on the walls and horrible streamers of flesh suspended from the blades of her ceiling fan, in what we call a "Southampton Maypole".
She's a brutal little thug, and she does love her malky.
In an effort to keep the situation from worsening, I have located words that some might find offensive and eliminated them. I hope that helps.

Wise move. Pixie sees all.
I'm also not self-diagnosed, I was found playing matador with traffic on the interstate one day by a bunch of cops, with no memory of how I got there (though, I'm not certain what that has to do with anything, I was under a lot of stress, looking for a job on foot, sat down for a minute, and then *poof*, there I was in the road). I was diagnosed bipolar. I am currently self-medicated, as, well, they cost money, MHMR will no longer treat me due to a substance abuse problem and only one doctor there was qualified to deal with that stuff, as well, the meds caused me other problems that I didn't find acceptable (though I have seen them work very well for others).
I am sorry to hear about such misfortune. I've been seeing doctors my whole life because of behavioral issues, and it was always something different, but wrong... First it was a social anxiety disorder, then it was a cognitive disorder (which got me kicked out of the Army), then I just stopped looking for answers. I've spent my whole life wondering why people seem to have such an easy time with things which cause me great difficulty, I've lost friends, relatives stopped talking to me, I've only been able to develop working coping strategies recently. It's been trial and error up to this point, now, I'm a bit better off, but, I still have my moments.

PILLS HERE.
Hahaha!... Those durned automated "teammates" would run halfway across the map, like they had some kind of magic nose for pills... The music changes, incomming attack
Louis: PILLS HERE!

Bill: Oh god-fuck NO!
Yeah, I mostly stick to melatonin, DMAE, THC and alcohol these days, though the alcohol is a REALLY bad idea, it makes me feel better for a little while... Over the counter stuff, nothing too dangerous, except the melatonin might be dangerous, it helps with sleeping and keeps my mood a little more positive. DMAE is just a precursor for choline and acetyl-choline, and that seems to keep me rather stable for some reason I really can't figure out. THC keeps me mellow, and distracts me from negative emotions, but it's not like I use it all the time, only every once in a while, when I feel I REALLY need it.
I could go into more detail as far as things I've seen and done, but I think I've said enough for now... Some of it... Is really, really embarrassing, and I don't want to even think about it, much less talk about it.
Lorezapam, here, in ever-increasing doses. It's the only thing that lets me sleep without horrible fucking side effects, but I'm developing a tolerance to it at an astounding rate.
Sometimes I have to get shitfaced drunk just to go to sleep... Otherwise I'll stay up for days. Then, sometimes, getting drunk enough to sleep causes me to sleep for days. It's not like that all the time, though. Sorry to hear you're developing such a tolerance.

Well, if it does the trick, who gives a shit if I'm addicted? It's like being addicted to insulin. You gotta have it (I simply don't sleep at all without some form of valium/synthetic valium), you gotta have it.
Rispiredone here!
low dose, am starting to adjust pretty well to it...
Anyway, Fuji, your ok with me.
Thanks so much, Pixie. I was worried there for a bit... Usually, when I start posting somewhere I'm either the only person with a problem of some sort, or one of two or three. I can understand why people would be sensitive, but usually I'm the only one I have to worry about being sensitive, and I try to provide a positive example to spread the idea that people with a serious illness aren't bad people, and try to get them to understand.
I should have expected Principia Discordia to have likeminded people around, but I never expected it to be an issue.
I take it you guys have had trouble with this sort of thing in the past?
Well, it's sort of a glitch in the system.
Some people who first post here try their best to prove how "wacky" they are.
They try way too hard, and it's just kind of boring. But they won't shut up.
And then, a lot of them feel disenfranchised, and start glorifying insanity as a sort of divinely-inspired drug trip.
As you can see, those of us here who actually have experienced insanity don't take to kindly to such things.

Once a month, like fucking clockwork. Sometimes they come in hordes, like retarded Mongols.
Hmmm... I see.
Yes, I can see how that would be annoying. My personal view of it is that it can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Obviously, we wouldn't be how we are if our brain structure were just a tad bit different, there are advantages, and some extreme disadvantages, that go along with it. It can't be ascertained yet just what those are, only speculated upon, but people are learning more about it.
In the end, I'd rather be without it, but sadly, that's not an option. I'm sorry that I acted like one of those people... I'm actually still doing it, might be something I have to adjust over time, but, perhaps I will be a better person because of it.
There's nothing divine about it, but I feel that, as long as I'm stuck with it, I should try and enjoy the positives, and find ways to work around the negatives.
I'm so excited to be the sane one for once.
And Dok, I'm reading the "total madness" thread... I see what you mean... I think it's starting to dawn on me.
makes me want to smack some of em.

Closing it off may very well keep the mongols out... But it won't let new and interesting people in... Plus, I get the impression that ya'll enjoy stomping on them, but I could easily be wrong.

Survive the trolls, impress some people with your input, and you find your way out of the maze, over the wall, through the gateless barrier, whatever retarded metaphor you want to use. Fail, and you remain troll food until you either give up, or adapt... This way, retarded mongols will be kept somewhere where they cannot do much damage, could still auto-approve accounts, and people could troll noobs to their heart's content...
Though... I have no idea how difficult it would be to alter the forums in such a way, so I'm just talking out of my ass here... Might be stupid, I don't know... When you say a "great wall", I really have difficulty understanding what you mean, or how you intend to implement it. A multiple choice test of some sort, perhaps?
Nah, the easiest thing to do is cockslap them when they show up. Might be annoying sometimes, but it allows the most freedom of movement.
