2016-05-31 at 11:09 PM UTC in Question for the Eurofags
I'm so fucking furious.
Why do you avoid telling us where you are from?
Because it makes you so furious.
Give you a hint: it's another country where the natives were all but eradicated by foreign invaders, and it isn't the USA. -

eggzactly. the native eurofags need to grow some balls or they can say hi to the dodo bird and dinosaurs when they meet.
Maybe the natives will be given reservations (ghettos) to live in. -

2016-05-31 at 2 PM UTC in I got fired from my jobYou probably shouldn't waste money on stupid things like cats and haircuts, just shave yourself dress respectably and apply for a new job. You probably should apply for EI just in case you don't find work right away.

2016-05-30 at 8:57 PM UTC in Question for the EurofagsNo worries, this is very interesting to me. Obviously we all change as we get older and circumstances change. In what ways do I seem more emotional or childish? What traits would you say appear to be more diluted now?

2016-05-30 at 5:55 PM UTC in Question for the EurofagsWhen you said "the difference is obbe is actually smart" I couldn't tell if you were trying to make an objective observation or just insulting me for some reason. If you were just making an insult, why? If you actually think I'm "not as smart as obbe," what is that based on? In all honesty I really am Obbe, and I know I'm not the smartest person, but I want to know whether you think there is a real difference between my behavior on this site compared to previous sites or not.

2016-05-30 at 4:50 PM UTC in Why does anything exist? Why not instead of all this why not just nothing?I don't know, but I feel like it doesn't really matter. Maybe something and nothing are sort of like the opposite ends of a stick; when you pick up one end of the stick the other comes with it.

2016-05-29 at 9:39 PM UTC in anybody here believe in aliens?
This reminds me of the metamorphosis of prime intellect.
I was copy-pasting that story to a thread here but I never finished. I did read it though and while I think it was a little lacking as a story (I think he wrote it sporadically while in college) I really enjoy some of the themes and of course the whole idea of "prime intellect". A part of me feels like either we are heading towards something like that, or already are a part of something like that in a VALIS sort of way. -
2016-05-29 at 6:39 PM UTC in anybody here believe in aliens?I think extraterrestrial life is not only possible, but likely inevitable. Lifeforms with a human-like mind or "intelligence" is probably less likely but still possible.
I also think there could be being/entities that are able to travel across dimensions or exist as a part of "higher" dimensions, pan dimensional beings or intelligent hyperspacial structures.
Have you ever heard about VALIS (Vast Active Living Intelligence System)?Dick claimed that VALIS used "disinhibiting stimuli" to communicate, using symbols to trigger recollection of intrinsic knowledge through the loss of amnesia, achieving gnosis. Drawing directly from Platonism and Gnosticism, Dick wrote in his Exegesis: "We appear to be memory coils (DNA carriers capable of experience) in a computer-like thinking system which, although we have correctly recorded and stored thousands of years of experiential information, and each of us possesses somewhat different deposits from all the other life forms, there is a malfunction—a failure—of memory retrieval."
At one point, Dick claimed to be in a state of enthousiasmos with VALIS, where he was informed his infant son was in danger of perishing from an unnamed malady. Routine checkups on the child had shown no trouble or illness; however, Dick insisted that thorough tests be run to ensure his son's health. The doctor eventually complied, despite the fact that there were no apparent symptoms. During the examination doctors discovered an inguinal hernia, which would have killed the child if an operation was not quickly performed. His son survived thanks to the operation, which Dick attributed to the "intervention" of VALIS.
Another event was an episode of supposed xenoglossia. Supposedly, Dick's wife transcribed the sounds she heard him speak, and discovered that he was speaking Koine Greek—the common Greek dialect during the Hellenistic years (3rd century BC–4th century AD) and direct "father" of today's modern Greek language—which he had never studied. As Dick was to later discover, Koine Greek was originally used to write the New Testament and the Septuagint. However, this was not the first time Dick had claimed xenoglossia: a decade earlier, Dick insisted he was able to think, speak, and read fluent Koine Greek under the influence of Sandoz LSD-25. -

2016-05-29 at 5:16 PM UTC in When people say "on my day off"^ LOL that makes a lot of sense actually. I remember in a recent thread someone posted about how humans are a disease and Lan appeared to take that statement literally instead of metaphorically.

2016-05-29 at 4:42 AM UTC in When people say "on my day off"In my country some people work for weeks at a time. A buddy of mine works for 14 days at a time, I think 10 or 12 hours a day, then takes 7 days off before his next shift.
