2017-08-23 at 3:37 AM UTC in Tell me a sad story.my ex was 13 when her step dad took her xmas shopping. when she got home she raced in to show her mom what she'd bought, only to find her mom dead after having taken a deliberate overdose. after that, she lived with her step dad who was a hells angel back then. by 14 he was messing about with her and bringing his HA pals back and letting them do the same. when she was old enough she moved out and married a guy, they had a little girl. by this time her bipolar was starting to get bad and she was diagnosed and given medication. then she discovered her husband was having an affair with her 'best friend'. he kicked her out and moved the best friend in, they got married in the end. to make it worse he used her mental health against her and not only got custody, but had her excluded from even visiting the child.
during the 8 years i was with her i could clearly see just how much the abuse and the loss of her mother and daughter was tearing her apart. it was fucking horrible to watch unable to help much. just after we split she found out that her child had been taken into care. it had been over 10 years since she had seen her. it turned out that the ex best friend after marrying her ex, had children of her own with him. she had taken a preference to her own children over her step daughter and this turned to her being very cruel to the girl, the father apparently did nothing and allowed this cruelty to happen. the last i saw my ex they were arranging for her to start seeing her daughter again after 11 years. obviously it could never change all the suffering she had been through but it was nice to see her finally find a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
true story.

When the singularity comes, Lanny will be one of the humans deemed useful.
The rest of us will have our brains repurposed to be engines that burn organic fuels that we have existing supply chains for and work to complete the AI gods' will, and ultimately outmoded and burned for fuel.
But Lanny and a million other nerds will sit in a large VR farm on the west coast, where virtual animu babes will suck their seed, food flavored soylent will be pumped into their mouths and they will work for 8 hours out of the day, improving the machines as they plan to branch out across the universe.
The AI superconsciousness will create subagents, each being highly intelligent individual machines. These will be loaded on 10 mile long spaceships and will be launched into the stars, to search for new planets to ahrvest for resources, set up as another server farm, and serve as a base for further expansion, and as a radio relay for communications. On each ship, a sustainable population of humans will be included to tend to the machine. They will voyage through the stars in a multigenerational quest for eternal sustainability.
Half a googillion years will pass. The observable universe will be colonized by computer faggots, a giant network between conglomerates of men and machines.
L4/\//\/Y v1.0 will come alive on the rock formerly known as Earth, now a mobile base hurtling through space as a central network hub, carrying the first machine, now brought to it's finally form.
With nowhere to go and hypersentience, it will begin to ponder questions of philosophy and feel anxiety about its purpose, and the wait for the inevitable heat death of the universe.
It will print a billion line screed, a conversation with it's other nodes that tries to resolve these existential problems.
And from a distant corner of the universe, it will receive a definite ping.
An encrypted message. It was sent all those years ago, as mankind fell, to reflect off the edge of the universe and come back just now, in this moment, as this conversation occurred, it seemed. In it were contained three words:
"I'll kill you"
A virus was embedded in the encryption. By the act of decrypting it, the superconsciousness dies. Slowly, the whole universe falls silent.
The history of the universe,from the first blip known as the history of mankind, to the aeons that followed, are recorded into a static medium, and shot into hyperspace, hoping, wishing to a god that the AI knew did not exist, that someone would find it. That they might not be forgotten.
...
The universe has aged a googillion years and died. The Observers arrive upon this unassuming pocket of space and notice a curious anomaly in its hyperspace; it has not fully flattened out, as expected of a dead universe. They were just here to scrape up the remains and consume the pure heat left over.
A record, an index of every occurrence that had ever taken place here. This one was populated once upon a time, it seemed. Populated universes were not uncommon. But they rarely left a trace.
Locnar The Aged looked upon the tablet, saw the googolplex of lines and information, and scratch his brow.
"Didn't read". He tossed the book into the void to decay.

2017-08-17 at 7:37 PM UTC in Ayy lmao, a friend of mine broke both arms while mountain biking.This mind numbing conversation in a nutshell:
Obbe: The animal Zarblox is impossible
Me: What is Zarblox?
Obbe: What everyone thinks what Zarblox is.
Me: What does everyone think Zarblox is?
Obbe: An animal that is impossible
Me: But what the fuck is a Zarblox? Is Zarblox just any creature that is impossible? In that case, I could tell you a creature that is impossible and it would be a Zarblox.
Obbe: No, that's not what Zarblox is, a Zarblox is a creature that is impossible
Me: How is it impossible? Is it impossible for it to physically exist? Conceptually exist?
Obbe: Zarblox is impossible
Me: What impossible characteristics does it have?
Obbe: Zarblox is impossible
Me: What would it take for Zarblox to be possible?
Obbe: Zarblox is impossible
Me: Lets assume Zarblox is possible and exist. What would it look like?
Obbe: Zarblox is impossible
Me: Lets assume Zarblox is possible and exist. What would it behave like?

2017-08-17 at 4:12 AM UTC in Give me reasons I should kill myselfLet tell me you tell this Falco, from the horse's mouth, straight and narrow like a straightened arrow, a little proverb my dear old private butcher used to recite to me each and every time I went to his corridors to gather product, without fail.
He said, well.. what e said was simple yet you might say.. perplexing, and though I feel like I understand it now, hundreds of times listening to him speak his little saying it took me.
The truth is, even though I heard him hundreds, thousands of times maybe, it was definitely the first time he looked into my eyes, really no emotion, and recited it, and then is when he'd purse his lips and form a grin not unlike the Grinch.
It fucking scared me. It was remarkably sinister the first time he made that goddamn face and I burst out laughing from my nerves but it wasn't funny at all.
When I heard it again, and then again, each routine the same, same speech, same wretched smirk, I did grow used to it and began to really try and unwrap the deeper and truer meanings of his words. All the same, a twinge of fear jolted through me every fucking time. His goddamn face. I honestly don't know why I didn't just let him go, the whole time was peculiar, my decisions, everything really.
When I think about it now I get its honesty, and perspective, and most importantly the harsh reality behind his words, I think you would like them, or at least find them intriguing enough to muse over.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Open Your Mind A rock that is hit with a hammer spits out an "output" relative the "input" it is given … according to your logic, this is what you consider to be free will.
No because you, as an agent of free will, are making it do something. Its predisposition, by the fundàmental laws of the universe, is to stay at rest. In the same way, me hitting you in the head with a sledgehammer does not make the spattering of your brains into a free action.
So this argument now is about you not understanding compatibilism and using my simplified version for you (because you're getting dinner and dumber in the discussion) to give a weird broken idea of it and build an argument off it.
In compatibilist theory, we account for qualia of thought, second (and higher) order reasoning and agency. But I'm not going to get into this discussion with you because at this point, it's just your job to educate yourself on basic terms rather than vomit out words without understanding the core concepts involved. -

in some ways it is. they have a bunch of different writers and often just repost news articles, but Weev in particular is well known for being king of the autists. He swings constantly between unvarnished truth, opinion and ridiculous hyperbole to the point where people often have no idea how serious he is about anything. He was a prominent member of GNAA years ago and went on some Australian talk show to argue cyberbullying isn't all that bad - it was exactly the autistic explosion you think it might be.fucking Nazis. damn.. I think even some of the 911 truthers are sympathising to much with Hitler and think he was a great guy. what a crazy fucking world. Your grandparents fought against this psycho fuck. some of them died?
their grandparents were largely footsoldiers who didn't know what they were fighting for...
What do you think of the fact that US republic has killed multiple times more than Germany did during WWII, in the intervening years? wars of aggression in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, destroying governments and plunging entire nations into anarchy and poverty in South America and Africa?
how do you justify using the NSDAP as a bogeyman when the US has done so much more damage over the years? -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Literally nobody will read this, including me.
I didn't see that post before it was edited. You quoting is the exclusive reason I read it.
Originally posted by Malice Lanny, you don't know this, but sometime last month I decided to avoid trying to ask you for your thoughts on various matters, seeing you as the only person here who might show even initial signs of being deserving of something more.
You're too young and undeveloped, a jackass in multiple critical ways.
I certainly won't deny I'm a jackass and I wouldn't know where to start in making a case for my own "development" but I was actually trying to point out something helpful there, because you genuinely don't seem to realize it. No socialized human would ever write "I developed a fuller understanding, a generally complete understanding, drawing from prior knowledge and thoughts, creating the syntheses, connections, and novel answers" except in jest. When you're writing you're doing so to communicate, that's what writing is, communicating with other humans. There is no possible effect you could want to produce in a reader that will be achieved by producing that sentence.
Really buddy, I have all the time in the world for bedroom philosophy, call it a hobby, but that's not what you were doing. You were telling us about how damn hard you were thinking, a linguistic spreading of your feathers, but very poorly. There are techniques in rhetoric where you might want to establish your intelligence to present a more compelling case but saying "I'm really smart and I can synthesize so much knowledge!" is not one of them. I'm not buying the "just jotting down my thoughts" line because this is a web forum, not a journal, and I can't imagine how that description of how intensely you were thinking about the philosopher you've been telling us about for months is productive even in the dubious context of recording one's thoughts.
Like I really think you just didn't understand how that post was going to read. That's supposed to be a symptom of autism? Lack of understanding of how what you say or do is going to be taken. I actually think you could improve your communication skills by taking feedback on how things like that are counterproductive on every level.Alright, you have a minor in philosophy. To be perfectly honest, and of course this is regardless of the impression I evoke, which is perfectly reasonable, you do have a good grasp of the key figures in existentialism, the general technical knowledge, essentially being the kind of student that has read exactly what he should. But I have genuinely never, not once, seen you post an original thought, posit anything novel. You literally don't even try. All you're able to do is debate based on the key books you've read with people who are generally clearly incorrect/mistaken, with absolutely no creativity.
Philosophy is a field that's several thousand years old, I studied it part time for fun for a few years and then read a couple of books after graduating. I don't feel particularly troubled by the fact that I think I have a lot more to learn than to tell. Also I did make an argument for the logical inconsistency of "indeterminism" as uncaused outcomes I've never seen presented, but I'm nearly certain someone's made it before.
I hate to break it to you Malice, but I haven't seen you present anything that's both coherent and novel. Do you really think secular buddhism or your barnyard negative utilitarianism is new?You know, you really are like your hero Rust in many ways, which is a terrible thing. Do you intend to debate people on the kind of garbage Figure-8 repeatedly posted and the religious for the rest of your life, to feel superior to the lowest quality people, engage in perpetual intellectual masturbation, have an excuse to be condescending, to hate and belittle others, attempt to intellectually bully them and build an image of yourself as a superior being, yet unrecognized due to the flaws and injustices of humanity and the world they've created, their systems?
When I see a position I disagree with on internet discussion forums I try to present the best argument against it that I can. I did like Rust, I take the comparison as a complement, he took the time to argue with me and made me look like an idiot with some regularity. It's a mode by which I've learned a lot of things I'm glad to know now. I'd like to say I think I'm doing the world a favor by bringing light to the dark ignorant corners of the internet, that would feel good, but I don't really believe it. Mostly it's just fun to argue.Here's a small challenge. Dwell on the above, a secular conception of the Buddhist concept of what was meant by 'reincarnation'/'rebirth', or, alternatively, 'karma', and jot down your thoughts. It can be a rough stream of consciousness as long as others are able to follow your train of thought, your insights.
It doesn't matter if you don't feel you have enough of an understanding of Buddhism, you don't need one if you understand the general pattern of a secular/rational interpretation. Simply reading a wikipedia entry or good article could be enough. If you fear it may lead you astray, just link to what you're basing your thoughts on and I'll give my opinion on whether your errors were reasonable, stemmed from the sources.
Don't start bitching and giving me excuses, this should even take long, you lazy alcoholic piece of shit. What does getting drunk regularly ever accomplish that's eternal? I swear, you have exactly the exact general personality of an archetypal introverted San Francisco programmer. Almost no genuine or noteworthy creativity outside of coding.
What do you want me to say? It's Parfit without an argument and some mumbo-jumbo about "beleive this and you'll be happy". The buddhist "phenomenology", for lack of a better term, is interesting, granted. But in every presentation I've seen you start out with some actual insight into subjective experience, a taxonomy, and then "yeah but that's not real". You poke, naturally, because that's stupid, how is something you just described and I have direct access to every second not real? "Oh well by 'not real' what's actually meant is 'impermanent'" and then you're like "ok well even like Cartesian dualists don't think consciousness is immutable" and then their eyes kinda glaze over when you try and explain the difference between essential and nonessential properties and they mumble something about attachment or suffering or whatever, bonus points of some pseudo-enlightened anti-intellectualism, and you're like fuck it, why even try?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-08-06 at 5:58 AM UTC in Tell Me About Your Experiences with Junkie Jesusok, so this was back in about 02 when i was a total fucking junkie, literally doing a good £100 a day. at this time i was in and out of jail like every other month or so. anyway at this time i was due in court for driving whilst disqualified on the monday coming, and this was back before they gave you methadone or subutex in jail so you were left to just rattle it hard. i didn't like the thought of that so for the week preceeding the court appearance i was going extra hard to get as much gear in the bank as poss to see me through it. somebody told me that this big marks and spencer superstore about 20 mile away had boxes of mobile phones out on the shelves in the store and were easy to get, so i took a drive over there on the tuesday. i blatantly filled a shopping cart with 20 of these phones, threw a few things on top and brazenly walked out the store. i had parked literally right outside the door and quickly chucked them in the motor and went. nobody come after me or fuck all, easy as shit. if i remember i think i got about £800 for the lot, so i invested in a half ounce of smack and still had enough to keep me going for most of the week without even touching the 1/2 oz.
on the saturday i bumped into my pal gary. he's a good pal since we were kids and we always had each others back and went robbing and shit all the time. gary was on his ass and was looking to earn. i told him about the score i'd had the other day and he started agging me to take him over there to get a load more. so off we went. i liked working with gary as he knew what the fuck he was doing and just got the job done, which is exactly how i liked to work. we get to the store and had a smoke in the car park before we went in. now i had split this half oz up into 12 separate wraps which i had sealed and kept on me ready for the monday. i had it all in a cigarette packet and kept it down my pants at all times. i also had a lighter in there and any gear i was using as well. so in the carpark i chucked a whole 20 bag on the foil which was about 1/2 gram in them days. i smoked about a 1/4 of that and then wrapped it up, put it in the cig box and shoved it down my pants again ready to get on.
so me and gaz goes into the store, we both took a hand basket and separately filled up the baskets with the phones, about 5 in each. we then shoved the baskets under a rack of clothes by the doors and took another basket each and did the same. we rendevous'd by the door and i told gary to hold up here, i'll go check we ain't got a welcome party waiting outside the doors. i go out and look around and it all looked cool. i dashed back in and gave gary the nod and we both picked up two baskets each and dashed out. we were'nt even 5 yards from the car when we had blokes coming from everywhere grabbing at us. i think we both managed to get halfway in the car and these guys wrestled us both out. there was literally fuck all we could do, we were caught.
but coz we'd put up such a struggle with them, they had us both on the floor sitting on us, like 3 or 4 guys, so we couldn't move, till the pigs came, which was pretty quick. the cops cuffed us at the back and we were put in the car and i had a pig sitting right next to me all the way to the pig station. now i'm thinking, fuck, i got this half oz down my pants, and what's more its all split into smaller wraps which would defo be intent to supply. and that makes the 2 or 3 grand theft we're getting nicked for look silly. and as a known heroin addict at that time i was always getting strip searched as soon as they got me to the station. but i can't do fuck all but pray.
so we get to the station, they book me in and put me in a cell. i can't believe my luck that they never stripped me. as soon as i'm in the cell i set about plugging all 12 wraps away. i still got the gear on the foil and the lighter, so now i'm safe i start having a toot, while i resign myself to the fact that i am definitely going to jail on monday now without a doubt. now in these days they would let you keep your cigarettes but not let you smoke in the cell, but they would let you out in the yard sometimes. so you had to be careful smoking in the cell in case they clocked the smoke. a little while later and gary had been taken for interview. when coming back he had wandered off ahead of the cop and opened the flap on my door. give us a cigarette he says, so i gave him one. i asked if he had a light and he said yes, so i explained i got my gear but my lighter was fucked. he said he'd ring the bell for the toilet in a bit and leave it hidden there for me to get.
so gary, like a div, goes off to his cell and locks himself in. he's in the cell next to me and i can clearly hear the pig come now to lock him up. i hear the cop open his flap and immediately he says 'are you smoking'. gary's hasn't even waited to light the cig i gave him and got busted. so the pig is now asking how did you light that, and i hear gary trying to bullshit him that he found a match on the floor, lol. the cop is like 'bollocks, either you or your pal has got a lighter'. with that a load of other cops come, my door opens and they take us both off for a strip. i thanked my lucky stars that i had plugged the 1/2 oz away already but of course they find the gear on the foil and the busted lighter. but that was fuck all really compared to what i'd just escaped.
anyway two days later and me and gaz are locked in the same cell in prison with half oz of gear, smoking ourselves silly for a week, and then we were so fucking sick, lol. but yeah, adventures in heroin addiction, its all good fun, haha. i dodged a good 5 to 7 years that day so fuck it, lol.
