Pointing this out cause I say it mentioned.
Tofu will not make you more feminine. That's a myth. The estrogens in tofu are not actually estrogens, they are phytoestrogens that only act as a estrogen stabilizer, in other words, they will only increase your estrogen levels if your body says your natural levels are too low.
The myth gets around because people like to depict vegetarians as weak.

ProTip:  Equating "feminine" and "weak" around here WILL get you a boot up your arse.

It's not MY equation. I'm a feminist.

I'd like to know if this site has ever played Mafia. If not, I'd be happy to organize it.
Also, if this is the wrong category to put it in, please correct me.

I hope I don't offend anyone but I'm about half way through and I've found it to be pretty boring and lacking in substance.

Thanks guyz. You don't know how much I appreciate all this.

Go to a doctor, they say. lol

I didn't see any threads like this. What are some good vegan/vegetarian recipes? I'm not sure how exactly you would make a recipe a Discordian one...I suppose you would just call it so and it would be.

Not listed.

I could explain beliefs to you but then you would only end up understanding less.

Have you been to a doctor?

No, not for this. I got a brain-scan not long ago to look for a tumor because my sense of smell is mysteriously gone. They still don't know why.

I have recently come to grips with the fact that I have Schizophrenia. This is my first time publicly announcing this but I have had several mental break-downs, experienced derealization and depersonalization, I find it difficult to sustain sensical thoughts. I'm not stressed about it at all though, at most times you could say I am in ataraxia. I consider it a blessing from the Goddess. I do sometimes worry that I will be taken away and put in an institution. I do not feel that I am a threat to anyone, I am in-fact a pacifist.

Is there a way I should handle this?

Alright, I'm going to approach this from an organizational perspective and leave the philosophy to LMNO and LHX as they are much more adept at describing those things than I am.

The Black Iron Prison was/is an effort to revisit Discordia in written form.  The general consensus, if it can be called that, was that while the original Principia Discordia holds important messages and philosophies, we wondered if some of the humor and language might be dated and lost on a younger generation of Discordians.  Also, we are all egotistical blowhards who like to see our thoughts in print.   :-D

So, we discussed ideas, memes, philosophies, etc., then we all started writing.  The first result was The Black Iron Prison: Discordia Revisited.  Click here to download it and read it if you haven't already.  Plans were made while this first pamphlet was being put together to produce more pamphlets, we even had titles like "Lollercaust" which would have been a more "humorous" effort with more modern humor infused into the writings.  Of course, we all have lives, jobs, etc. so things did stall a bit.  And then came the pd.com crash...

...so during the downtime a new message board was created where we could continue to discuss more ideas, philosophies, memes, definitions, deconstructions, so on and so forth.  When pd.com came back up for good, and was under new management, the effort was moved back here.  (of course the Black Iron Prison Forum crash kind of turned that into a necessity).

And so that is where we are today.  That is the logistics of it.  Again, LMNO and LHX can fill in the philosophical details and other things I'm sure I missed.  Hope this is of some benefit.  I encourage n00bs, lurkers, etc. to download the pamphlet and read it.  Share it with their friends and family.  And then, join the fray!

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but your download is 404.

That's what she said. 

Did you know that this is one of the few standard jokes variations of which occur in cultures all over the world and in history?

It's such a basic joke, they could even write an AI to make them:

http://idle.slashdot.org/story/11/04/29/1536237/Using-AI-To-Identify-Innuendo

"Turning seemingly normal comments into sexual innuendo by adding the words 'That's what she said' is a cultural phenomenon. This has led some to wonder whether it is possible to determine when it is appropriate to add those magic four words to a sentence. As it turns out, identifying humor through software is hard. Two researchers at the University of Washington, however, were willing to give it their best shot. In a recently released paper entitled 'That's What She Said: Double Entendre Identification,' the researchers describe what they've found and introduce their new approach to the problem: 'Double Entendre via Noun Transfer' or DEviaNT for short."

It's good to know that someone is trying to make sure the human race gets a sufficiently lewd AI one day.

So, finally, our computers can do something intelligent that Star Trek's computers can't:

Cpt. Jean-Luc Skywalker: "Computer! Earl Grey, hot."

Computer: "That's what SHE said!"

That is the funniest thing I've read all day.

Holy shit all I can think of when I think about politics is I FUCKING HOPE TO FUCK THAT WE ARE STILL EVOLVING AS A SPECIES.

I lol'd.

Ya'll don't feel like some good ol'fashioned trollin?

Most of these guys have trolled so hard now the hapless masses come to them to be pwned. They no longer have to seek out lulz. The lulz come to them.

You, for instance.

Yes, like me. You see--a story so is sad, really-- no matter where I go, not a soul may trollith me. So I come here.

I don't believe in politics. Just Santa Claus and unicorns. It's better for my blood pressure.

What do you think of Santa Claus' domination of the elvin people?
