2016-09-02 at 4:32 AM UTC in I'm slowly turning into obbeI knew it was happening the first time I tried psychedelics. I had this incredible revelatory experience that recast everything I knew in a different light. I said to myself "yeah, I had a cool subjective experience like how you can watch a cool sci-fi movie or read a fantasy book, but no material fact about the world has changed", I contented myself that rationality will always triumph. But I knew it then as I know it now, by the prickling yearning for a deeper spiritual life in my heart, something wicked this way comes. First I decided psychology wasn't as much of a pseudoscience as I had previously thought. I read James' Principles of Psychology with admiration. In my idle moments I'd start coming up with wierd analogies, mostly around how physical processes could be pure functions (but not like modeling, much more abstract, intuitive, kooky). I started taking up arguments against atheists, reductionists, and fat headed physicists. I thought I was just doing it because that's what I do, I argue shit on the internet because whatever, iron sharpens iron or something, but over time I came to actually believe it. I became a vegetarian out of empathy for animals (not like "I feel bad for them", rather I recognized (or claim to recognize) a shared property of consciousness and feel compelled to extend the same impartiality that defines intra-human ethics to them).
All of this I could put aside, I could rationalize. Ultimately my views had not changed all that dramatically, and one ought not police their inner experience too harshly. But just now I read a paper by David Chalmers and found myself nodding along here and there, I acknowledged panpsychism as at least a tentatively viable position. At this moment I realized it had gone too far, I'm seriously entertaining the notion that elementary particles might have some kind of subjectivity.
It's bad man, all that self confidence of reductive materialism has slowly evaporated. The absolute conviction of the atheistic position shook, cracked, and then crumbled under me and left me with a sort of begrudged skepticism. Pre-normative thought became moral righteousness, became shaky motivational arguments trapped between moral error theory and any really solid ethical framework. Slowly but surely the ideological ground I once stood on has eroded away and it's slowly turning me into a fucking neo-hippy. What the fuck have I done to myself? -

Not sure if you can pick up a handle of jameson for under $30 but if you're going to go for it go bushmills instead. Makes for a mighty fine emerald. Old crow is my go to rotgut bourbon at a flat $20 for 1.75L, taste actually isn't half bad for what it is and the price is hard to beat. It mixes well, nice in a sour or just with soda if you're really low-effort. Wild turkey is more expensive but the higher proof and the fact that it's actually the cheapest bourbon worth drinking for reasons other than getting fucked up justify the price tag. -
2016-09-01 at 5:50 AM UTC in Book about space emporer who inherits syncan planetThe first book is definitely the best. I had mixed feelings about the sequels. I enjoyed 2, loved 3 almost as much as the original, 4 and 5 were maybe "deeper" books but I thought the writing was markedly worse. I actually haven't managed to finish chapterhouse. I read two of the Brian Herbert prequels and they're both irredeemable shit. Reading the first book is really core, if you like it go on to 2 and 3. 4,5, and 6 are for hardcore fans IMO, I won't call them bad but you have to be pretty into the universe for them to be worth your while. No prequel is worth anyone's time.

2016-09-01 at 1:46 AM UTC in Book about space emporer who inherits syncan planetDune is one of my favorite books of all time. Melange makes you live longer and turns your eyes blue while syncans do pretty much the opposite of that. Both do enable space travel though, so there's that.

I'm so sick of you kids' modern weed. rolled a spliff the other day and was in orbit after two tokes.
Also found out I don't have a brain tumor, just some fucked up nerve shit in my spinal cord.
There anyone with us based syncan shipping these days? (pm me)
I know right. When I'm flipping through the multiple pages of strains in an overstuffed chair at my local dispensary I'm like "I want to try like 5 of these but they only sell them by the gram and there's no way I'll be able to smoke all this before it stops being fresh". And then there's the situation where some bitch goes and buys the top shelf stuff without telling anyone and you take a couple hits and you're stuck in your chair hoping to hell no one talks to you because if they do it will all go to spaghetti. Life's hard mang -

If the mother of the child is not giving him proper access, and he never gets to see the child, and he is being labelled a mere "sperm donor" by that very same mother, he has no obligation whatsoever to provide any financial support.
Why? Why does the fact that Bill Krozby's daughter's mom (allegedly) doesn't hold to a visitation agreement mean that Bill Krozby can now wash all his hands of responsibility for his child? Why should she have to live in poverty because her parents couldn't get their shit together?
Child support does is not rent you pay for your child's alternative weekends, if Bill Krozby actually wanted to see his daughter he would have paid a lawyer to enforce his rights (he could have recovered costs as well) but instead he engaged in the legal equivalent of leaving his child on someone's front porch.He's got a point here
I mean how many single parents actually spend child support money on their children?
Seeing as the woman in question works at staples and, unlike Bill Krozby, has not completely given up in taking care of her daughter I think it's reasonable to guess she's not blowing a ton of money on frivolous things. Shit though, she could be spending every weekend at ritzy spas and it would do more for Bill Krozby's kid than him buying booze/drugs or funneling it into the justice system as plaintiff in civil and defendant in criminal suits. -
2016-08-28 at 1:30 AM UTC in I spit in the face of god
Because she is a lying whorebag? I don't mean to be a dick, but if she lied about birfkontrol what makes you say she didn't lie about anything else? If you trust her and think it was an accident that's fine. But from an outsider's perspective it seems like she was lying.
I mean consider it from the opposite perspective. If anyone would believe you if you said you had a vasectomy in the middle of sex dudes would say that all the time. Generally speaking statements about non-verifiable birth control 30 minutes either side of sex are to be discarded but it's hard to blame a nigga for not taking that to heart. -

so you're saying i should pay a mother a few bucks a month that i don't get to see?
Yes, when you are responsible for a human being existing I do think the least you can do is throw a few bucks a month at the person who's bearing the full burden of caring for and maintaining that person. Call me crazy.
Your child does not exist for your sake, you have a debt to her for inflicting this existence upon her. It may be unfair to you that you don't get to see your daughter, I'm fully willing to concede that, but "the chick I knocked up isn't being nice to me" is not an excuse to abdicate your duty as a parent. The human being you created doesn't give a fuck if her mom doesn't like you, she's still going to suffer or proser according to your willingness to participate positively in her life. And if that means throwing money at her without getting to see her that's still better, by miles, than what you're doing for her now. Let's be honest Bill Krozby, an alcoholic shit who can't hold down a job interacting with some kid every other weekend isn't going to be an amazing asset to a child. But not living in poverty, things like being able to afford the basic creature comforts of her peers, and even if child support and a steady income (which your "baby mammer" seems so much better able to provide than you) isn't able to measure up to that, whatever poor ass supplement that the state mandated you provide in your child's upbringing, that's still better than the absolute non-participation, passing the buck, and just generally being an irresponsible fuckwad, that you've managed to do so far.sorry Im not a cuck like you, and she lied about being on birth control.
I know you're a dumb fuck and totally incapable of basic cognitive functions like empathy but try to strain your tiny little mind for a moment and think about this situation from your daughter's perspective. Her mother, allegedly, lied about being on birth control. Because of this decision, one which was made before she could even be said to have existed, she's now condemned to being raised by one parent, working at or trivially above minimum wage, and all the shitty subpar and inhuman indignities that come with that, because what? Because you didn't get your ego stroked by having some token involvement in her life? You're shit Bill Krozby, you're going to die having done nothing good in this world, but at very least you could have tried to make the human life you created somewhat better. You're impotent in a lot of ways, you were born to poor dumb parents and you grew up as a delinquent, shit happened to you and in many ways you couldn't have helped turning out as a dumb piece of shit but even with all that at least this one tiny corner of the world you could have owned up to, you could have paid child support to make at least one of your fuckups a little better, but even here when you have as much freedom to be a good human being as you possibly could, you opted to be the shittiest excuse for a person, the most degenerate scum, you could possibly be. You have no redeeming qualities Bill Krozby, you don't make the best of a shitty situation, you were born into shit and all you do is make it worse and worse and perpetuate a horrifying cycle.
I want you to think about this Bill Krozby: one day your daughter is going to "lie about being on birth control" (according to some alcoholic drug addicted degenerate who works at a pizza place sometimes but is more often unemployed than not) and she's going to pop out some kid and the dad may stick around or he may not. But that kid is going to have the same existence you've had, shitty, poor, fucked and plagued by terrible decisions. I want you to think about all the bad things that happened to you in your life, the time you got bum-raped by some kid in the bathroom, the myriad times you took drugs and realized the depth of the emptiness of your existence, those times when you got fucked up and ended up in the hospital and the background terrible that permeates your existence and realize that you've inflicted that same experience, that same incomparable suffering on not one but a whole chain of human beings and that if there's any justice in the world you'll pay for each and every horrible decrepit human life you're not only responsible for creating but also destroying.And my daughter lives over an hour away. Just doesn't seem right to me
Oh yeah man, your daughter totally isn't worth two hours of your shitty life. I mean fuck her right? It'd take you one whole hour to get there, what's even the point in having a daughter if she can't gratify your ego in under an hour of drive time. I mean it's basically like she doesn't exist right?lanny you are intelligent to some extent, but you're also a huge functional retard to other extents… i bet you still live at home, and have never really worked a day in your life.
You're a fucking joke Bill Krozby. I don't live at home and I assure you the time I've spent writing this post about how much of a shit person you are has a higher market value than your average daily income but pointing this out is irrelevant. I'm not a good person because I make vastly more money than you, because I don't leech off my parents like you do, I'm a terrible person who participates in the background villainy of our society and it enrages me that every day I live with guilt and self loathing for such violations as passively enabling an unjust system or causing undue harm to other animals when you can fucking destroy a human being for absolutely no gain and think you somehow have the moral high ground. Your inability to sense your own worthlessness, how fucking pathetic and horrible you are, is revolting on so many levels, I don't even know how to begin to explain it to someone as cognitively impaired as you are. -

It was the best thing for my daughter to leave. For the longest time I didn't even know where she lived because her mother wouldn't tell me… because she was moving around and shacking up with various rednecks.. Hell I didn't even have my daughters moms phone number, and she wouldn't respond to emails. And she was in her legal right to do all of that stuff.
So you greatly improved her life by... cutting off what little support you provided her with in the first place. Yeah, really manned up on that bro.and at least I don't fuck kids.
No, you just create them from aether and set them up for an unceasing lifetime of poverty and suffering. No one in this thread fucks kids as far as I know, but you're the only one here who has a proper claim to being more morally deficient than child rapists. Good job Bill Krozby, good job. -
2016-08-27 at 4:36 PM UTC in ATTN: AldraIt's like you're not even trying any more speckles.
hydro would know a thing or two about being a piece of fat shit, she's pulled a gun on a couple of gay guys while shot out of her mind on heroin. (fact)
At most some mentally ill kid from illinois was traumatized by that incident, vis a vis you abandoning your daughter so you can spend more time and money on alcohol, drugs, and flagrant acts of totally unprovoked aggression -

2016-08-25 at 3:16 AM UTC in Nitrous oxideYeah, nitrous oxide and classical psychs are supposed to be a good combo. Would want to do it on its own first to at least have an idea of what I'm in for but comboing it with acid(or similar) is definitely something I want to try before I die. Kinda crazy that it's been so widely available and know to be intoxicating for so long without some kind of ban or regulation or whatever. Guess the whip cream lobby reallly has their shit together.
