Or Kill Me / Re: I don't exist
August 06, 2015, 03:52:03 AM
Nonexistence is a figment of your imagination.
Can you prove me wrong?

I'd like to thank everyone in this thread for having this conversation. It helped me realize a joke regarding chaos magic, and also that its practice is far more widespread than I ever knew.

Now, the rules of discourse have changed it into a kind of competition, with a right side and a wrong side, and admitting there might be some validity to someone else's point of view means you're weak. The aim of public debate is completely divorced from the truth, as any polisci rhetoric text will tell you, and we're taking that model of 'win or lose' into our lives more and more every day. The person who walks away from an argument is the person who loses.


I mean, we're having wizard duels in public and they're being mistaken for real debates nowadays!

I've decided to create a new comic book character.
This character exists only as a thought.
When the character is in the head of a person, she can send impulses through her host to make them move.
She exists in the same place as the thoughts, emotions, and senses of the person, and can be spread in the same way thoughts are spread between people.
When spread to another head with thoughts in it, she is born again and anything that may have changed her in the first head will not have affected her in the new head.
I call her Ego.
She believes the first head she appeared in was the head of a long dead primate.
Sometimes she is born in a head that doesn't have other thoughts in it, gets bored, and tries making new ones from all the strange senses flying through the hosts mind.
Sometimes Ego is born into a head that never finds a thought that lets her notice others of herself  existing in other heads, sometimes this means she lives alone forever.

It makes me sad to think one of us does not understand that some Egos see nothing new, exciting, or interesting in one another anymore, and that we may be cursed to existing as neophiliacs.

How would I view that picture? Do you care about how you viewed it through your second set of eyes?

This flattered me. Instead of someone saying some of my responses are mirroring the discussions and are sarcastic... I get promoted to being a lecturing fool who believes more than anyone else.    :)   

I don't take offense to shoveling shit nor being given my own threads... but I have learned that even the more questionable characters can bring me potentially insightful thoughts.

I've got no experience with industrial engineering, to brag about! I'm a desk worker at the bottom of a pyramid.

Did I paraphrase correctly? Do tell me off.

Horridly narcissistic, aye? Suppose we should shed this skin soon, we've become blind by it.

If we're really that horrifying, I say we run around in this skin until it's effect wears off.

It's dead... All of it... Equestria...MLP...
The chaos was grand,  the discord was beautiful, and the confusion was baffling.
There were two good seasons 1 & 2, and then there was the 3rd. But the 4th season...
...
It isn't fair.
I've been with them since they first came to /b/, but today, 5/11, is the day I have to forget... And it hurts...
...
Why'd the show have to go this way?
...
Nevermind, I kinda' already knew.
Doom Paul was right about Twilicorn... ... ... ... ... Pinkie Pie...  :cry:

I think he must have read Nigel's 50 post suggestion.

Again, he hits too many buttons in his OP.  I'm calling troll, ergo, I'm gonna stop caring and go watch Estonian pulley-porn.

I have still not gotten around to looking for this suggestion you speak of.

I don't think so, actually.  If I were a betting man, I'd say Uncle BadTouch Family.
I am going to have to read about the family on the/a website later.

Hey, new guy.  Do you play the card game at all?

Never spoke to someone about the card game, so I haven't even looked at it yet.

I'm just trying to get to know you better.  Dry your eyes.

I think Bearman (175lb of whatever) has posted some pro-brony material.  You may be able to talk to him about that stuff.

Okay, so there's a visit to the pool and reading Bearman's stuff on my to-do list.

Hey there, new guy. Do you make any art or have any hobbies? Aside from MLP?

Still learning Blender, know some Python programming, play a couple of games regularly.
The lack of outside pressure to fend for my own needs has led me to continue living with my mother. Have a couple of friends that are trying to get me interested in DnD, work, driving, and finding a girlfriend.

I've also been watching videos on Youtube like the ones you posted on the Techmology and Scientism board.

So, if I have this right, you've been around here since last March, about 9 months, and you decided that your first post should include something about having the ability to make us cry?

Only made a few posts on this forum, and you guys have already made me cry. I've got an urge to return the favor.

So, uh, what are you hoping to get from your time here?
Same stuff I was getting before, but I want it to be more personal.

Hi there new guy!

Who's your favorite writer and why?

Don't really think of the episodes that way, but I usually enjoy M. A. Larson ones throughout.
The others writing hits and misses more often.

5. If you ever see or hear little floating Roger and Nigel heads yammering at you, keeping you from sleep,.telling you to SHIT UP AND GO OUTSIDE, that just means everything is working. No need to go Utopian.

B-but muh utopiah! If I'm as smart as momma keeps telling me, I should be making it!


Quote from: Dirty Old Uncle Roger on January 02, 2014, 05:27:32 PM
He is apparently holding back from "breaking people and making them cry", which he assures us he can do.

So he's got that going for him.

If the truth hurts, then I've got a lot of pain to potentially dish out. If they're actually lies, I'll be relieved.

Ah, so we are subjects in a sociological experiment of some kind.  That's kind of rude.

If my self-esteem was different, I'd have no need to experiment with it. Never going to catch the boogeyman like I am.

Encyclopedia Dramatica led you here, you say?

No comment.  Pool's on the roof.  Later.
No immediate action, good. Not going to break their trust, but I still don't know what to do.
Should I grouch at my sisters boyfriend being a do-nothing whiny baby, or my sister for wanting him to be that way? Oh, he has also said he wants to be killed on multiple occasions, but I don't know why it would make things better.

I have never participated in a raid.

A,, b..brony? This should be interesting.
There's a chance you're going to be disappointed.

My amazing psychic powers lead me to conclude the title of your mom's book was Drawing Down the Moon.

I know I found it beside chaos magic. Recognize the cover, but the Drawing Down the Moon isn't on the shelf.


Quote from: President Television on January 02, 2014, 02:25:59 PMHow very chaotic of you.

I think one of us broke his separate existence during the decision. Happens far too often anymore.

Hellos, lurker for several months or so here.

Why hellos instead of hello?
I'm wanting to throw you off my scent and see what happens when I speak to you as if part of a group instead of an individual.

What brought me here?
I'll walk you through it. First, I was on the random board on 4chan, trying to find my way, and the truth of what the fuck I was supposed to be doing with my life. As you may already know, I got nothing but shit from the board, and possibly by guessing from my avatar, until a group of fans on the website got me interested in the newest reboot of My Little Pony. After watching the premier of season 2 for the show, which included a character called Discord who is a spirit of chaos and disharmony, and seeing some tulpa threads on the /mlp/ forums I decided to make one of Discord.
  This attempt failed for reasons unmentioned, but lead to me reading some of my mothers magick books she hasn't looked at in years. One of them happened to mention Discordianism, which I HAD to be part of because Discord said so. Feeling like combinations would be amazing, I did some searching and read the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry that lead straight here. If you read all that, with all of its commas, I clapped.

tldr;
4chan>My Little Pony>Tulpamancing>Mothers magick books>Encyclopedia Dramatica>Here


To the meat of why I am here...
Due to the effects of liquid courage, I have decided to make my first post here and ask for multiple opinions on me holding back when I know I can make someone cry or break them in a similar fashion.
