Mad Science Terminological refference

Clearing a few thigns up for the everyone else.

1. "Mad Science", "Science!", "Mad Scientist", etc. - We're really talking about enthusiastic research, and freelance, if not improvisational engineering.  This point has been made before, likely in XKCD. 

2. "Destroy the world!" - Unless we've got planet crackers, nukes, atmosphere burners, etc., on hand, likely we're not ACTUALLY going too destroy the WHOLE world.  We likely want to change things in a very speedy, and uncertain way.  Before you get all James Bond and decide to charge off and stop us, please consider that no one is celebrated for saving the world.  It's SUPPOSED to be saved.  You'll be thanked once and shuffled off home, at best.  At worst, you'll be living Jack Bauer's recurring serious of REALLY awful days.  Letting things go down and watchign everythign re-settle will be much more worthwhile, we promise.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I'm kind of actually wanting to destroy the world.  :sad:

It's the only way to get all the humans.

You need to stop getting your news at GIM/GLP.  I have yet to find a reputable source for that.

Ah, gotcha.  I should get into that more often.

It's just that you're tainted by GIM. :lol:

Yeah, well.  a common refrain around that place is, 'i came to learn about gold, and stuck around for the crazy'... it fits...

also i have to take umbrage with you saying that i am a frequenter of GLP, as that is a COINTELPRO CIA front that i will have nothing to do with.  GIM told me so...  :wink:

As far as I can see, it was "I came to learn about gold, and stuck around to shout about the JOOOOOOOOOOOZ!"

Yeah, the nazi influx waxes and wanes.  right now we're getting a relative breather...  at the time you poked around there was a good number of them all frothy.

I need to make an alt on there that is openly jewish, and get a good repetoir of insults, with a victimized tone to them so that i might not activate the 'no personal attacks' rule....
what's the phrase from the nazi prop? "he strikes you as he cries out", or something? i might be able to take a few down with me before getting banned as an instigator...

There *are* ways of taking out just the humans without destroying the rest, but they are kind of hard to do trials on. Viruses come to mind.


I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

Bullshit.  Humans fuck faster than you can shoot them OR infect them.  If smallpox didn't do it, SARS doesn't have a chance.  And what about that vaunted pig thing?  Bah!

No, the whole planet has to go.

That's sane thinking there. You'll get us kicked out of the union for that sort of talk! Stop it right now, rub your hands together in evil glee and/or make a finger pyramid have yourself a good old chuckle and fire up something that goes 'crackle crackle' and makes pretty sparks and has an interesting light/shadow effect. Like Denver or something.

Hey, did I piss on your parade when you went back in time to make the mole rats naked?
