Principia Discussion / Re: An amusing bit against the...

Define 2.5 as an integer.  Then it could be divisible by 5.
Dude, awesome! <(￣︶￣)↗[GO!]

I don't pay anything for this forum to still exist. I'm not an administrator, or a moderator. And, I'm not even close to being one of the very few active members who have been here the longest.

But, you are playing the "Discordian game," you've now introduced yourself, and there's even a possibility that you may decide to hang out here for a while. So, I'll give you two (2), personal, not-really-worth-a-damn, opinions about why your first post here was ignored.

First, you chose your first post to be on a topic that was dead for over ten (10) years.

Second, that dead topic was started by a member who hasn't posted here themselves in over five (5) years.

There are more reasons, of course. But, if you hang around here for a while, you'll figure those out for yourself. I'm tempted to welcome you to the forum, but that's "the kiss of death" around here.

Now : Jiang Ziya fishes with a straight hook — only those who are willing will take the bait.

That's an interesting reference.

Now, most new forum members never post at all. And, a very few new members post a little, don't get the attention they seek, and are never heard from again.

But, who knows, you're an interesting character, and you just might last around here for a while.

I stood in line for quite a while this morning to vote in this off-year election. As I had gone to vote after the people who vote before they to go to work, and well before lunch, I did not expect to find myself standing in line at all. And, that's the first time that's ever happened to me during off-peak hours for an off-year election. A poll worker told me he has been doing this for twelve years, and has never seen this kind of voter turn out for an off-year election.

This bodes well for next year's mid-term elections. Vive la résistance!

I can use Eris to make my future boss misjudge that I possess Qualities 2 and 3. 
 

If I'm preparing to spread Discordianism in a Chinese-speaking region, what do I need to pay attention to?

Why would you want to spread Discordianism? 

For example, I need to make the authorities think I'm genuinely an idiot

Just act normally, they'll get the idea.

Otherwise, I might be secretly executed by agents.

Doesn't sound like it's worth it.  Not a lot of ROI in getting secretly executed, you can't even cash in your own life insurance policy.

Thanks, my thoughts are much clearer now.
Since my goal is to use this as a stepping stone to join just any secret society. (Essentially, fishing)
I should proselytize verbally,
doing nothing except pretending to be a Discordian and shouting slogans.
I'm just using Eris to endorse some of my actions; I'm not actually going to do anything serious. 

I could start phishing on the forum for 3 months first... If I were to carry out this operation, the earliest it could be is next year... which gives me plenty of time to carefully plan this conspiracy in detail.

If I were really a member of the Disco Society,
why would I expose my connection to Eris?
I should be lurking, secret...

Fortunately... I am just seeking power.

  Why? This question is so hard.
  This might be considered a minor internship before formally joining the secret society.
  Master: I am a qualified applicant!!!

  1.intelligent
  2.resilient
  3.loyal
  I can use Eris to make my future boss misjudge that I possess Qualities 2 and 3. 
  Because I am willing to sacrifice myself for my boss, my boss will not sacrifice me—someone he considers one of his own—until the very last moment. He will inevitably prioritize sacrificing those so-called 'smart people' instead.
  It's so damn ironic.
 
  No landlord (actual regional controller) or compradore (actual industry controller) can refuse to have a subordinate/henchman who possesses all three of these qualities working for them. 
  This is one of my crucial performances for securing wealth and status. 

  But the biggest problem now is that I must draw an absolutely safe line to ensure that this action is interpreted correctly and not misunderstood.
  Which is to say, I am responsible to Eris, but not to his Agents.
  I am entirely beneficial, and not at all harmful, to the CCP.
  I am different from those young people who cause trouble/stir things up every day."

Elmo the Oligarch has a gift for understatement. Who knew?

Musk Tells Joe Rogan Why Trump Is 'Not Perfect'

As per this article:

""Some people still think, you know, Trump is like the devil, basically," said Musk. "And, I mean, I think, I think Trump actually is not perfect, but, but he's not evil. Trump is not evil. I spent a lot of time with, with him, and he's, I mean, he's a product of his time, but he is not, he's not evil.""

Being a famous, wealthy sociopath himself, Elmo the Oligarch and the POSOTUS do have a lot in common. So, perhaps, some sociopaths do occasionally empathize with other sociopaths. But, I suspect this is more a case of Elmo trying to get back in the good graces of the POSOTUS. After all, inflation being what it is, it's obvious that $300M no longer buys what it once could. And, I'm sure NASA is still on the market for the right price, and, of course, other considerations.

Hilarious!

Especially the "coming soon" part, and how there were no comics.
