2024-10-31 at 7:01 PM UTC in ZOKLET & NIS have been a huge part of my lifeI can't remember when it all began for me but probably 16-18 years idk...
A lot of people have come and gone but a lot have stayed too.
The forum is one thing that I always go back to and I enjoy it very much.
My only long break from this was during a few real bad years of drug addiction.
I'm grateful for this place and for all of you because it would be real hard ever exercising this side of my personality anywhere else in the real world.
Recently I have found myself quite concerned with our future as Lanny is clearly falling apart, losing grasp on what little he ever had and becoming more of a loose cannon that ever before.
I doubt little that one day soon he will get an offer that answers his problems at the cost of all our freedoms and privacy.
He already admitted to me that he willingly cooperates with any and all investigations by federal and state agencies whom request any logs and that paying him $20 to delete your account doesn't actually do anything except give you a false sense of security and him $20.
Between Kafka and Wozny alone the FBI has been contacted over 400 times just this year.
If cornered with no way out I don't think Lanny will end it all. -

So basically life is your big wheel of you just getting molested by different old men across multiple planes of space time. -

2024-10-19 at 5:48 AM UTC in A Short Analysis Of Social Cohesion In The USA"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." - Preamble to the USA Constitution
I'll get to the point. Societies across the globe are held together by a certain "glue" in order to keep subsects of said societies from breaking from the state and forming their own states. This "glue" is oftentimes predicated on ethnicity, religion, language, or culture. Some shining examples are France, China, and Italy.
The citizens of these states, are, by and large, of a single ethnicity or belong to a single ethnic group. In France, you are likely French, perhaps Occitanian. In Italy, you are "Italian" which may mean you are Milanian, Sicilian, Neapolitan, etc. But you still belong to the Italian ethnic group. You also speak Italian, write in Italian, eat Italian food, etc. Same for Chinese people, who are part of a vast nation that spans from Tibet and Xinjiang, to Beijing, from Manchuria to Guangdong.
However, the national identity of USA citizens is not predicated on any part of an individuals identity that is, by and large, static and consistent.
In China, people in Guangdong and in Beijing speak the same language, eat the same food, watch the same shows, read the same books, etc. They have an identity that is composed of various things that are shared by all people across the nation. These things also do not change, or if they do change, they change more or less uniformly throughout the state, and usually at a slow pace.
The USA's demographic profile is composed of many different ethnicities, cultures, languages, etc. This is not to say that USA citizens lack a uniform portion of their identity, however.
USA citizens all share (supposedly) the ideals that are expressed in the preamble above: The rights to life, liberty and happiness.
This fluid identity based on ideals and values allows people to assimilate to the US society and generally be accepted by other citizens. If you pay your taxes, are kind, and don't hurt other people, most people will at least tolerate you, no matter if you are Swahili, Vietnamese, Venezuelan, or German.
This lack of a cohesive, static identity is a double edged sword, though.
The USA is not a old country, but it is also not a new country. The ideals that are shared by it's constituents are, and have been, subject to change. We have seen this in party switches, for example. The Liberals of the 20's and 30's are not the same as the liberals of the 60's and 70's. The USA was founded under the pretense of being able to freely practice any religion, but people in the west are becoming less religious.
The constant development and change of this identity leaves US citizens divided, unable to relate to each other on the basis of heritage, cuisine choices, shared history, or other characteristics shared among ethnicities, such as in many European nation states.
Do you think that a fluid national identity based on ideals instead of shared characteristics is a good or a bad thing? Why or why not? -

Climbing trees at Clifton Country park to get the best conkers and then baked them slightly in the oven. Some kids would try to cheat by painting them with clear varnish.
Being at school with a 23er and all the kids gathering round ooohing and ahhing as you held the magnificent, almost holy conker up by it's string for them all to stare at in wonder and say things like "really??? It's a 23er?? wowwww"
These foreigners don't have a fucking clue. -

On 16 October 2024, Payne died after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in the Palermo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the age of 31.[162][163][164] Police were called to the hotel following an emergency call from the hotel manager, who reported "an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol".[162][165] The manager indicated in the call that "when he is conscious he is destroying the entire room and we need you to send someone", noting that the man's life was at risk due to the room having a balcony.[165][166] Payne fell from the balcony shortly after emergency services arrived.[167] His death was confirmed at 5:11 p.m. Argentina Time (UTC−03:00).[162][168] The emergency medical team that arrived at the hotel reported a "cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries" that led to Payne's immediate death.[164][169]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Payne#Death
Alberto Crescenti, director of Buenos Aires' public emergency medical service, announced Payne's death on the Argentine news channel TN, stating that the fall was from a height of approximately 13 to 14 metres (43 to 46 ft) and that Payne sustained "very serious injuries incompatible with life", leaving "no possibility of resuscitation".[162][166] Crescenti declined to comment on whether the death was a suicide or an accident.[166][170] Pablo Policicchio, communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, stated that Payne "had jumped from the balcony of his room". Authorities are investigating Payne's death, and a post-mortem is being conducted.[166] Police later said that several medications and energy supplements were found in his room, including clonazepam, and that a whiskey bottle was found in the courtyard where his body was recovered.[171] Initial post-mortem examination indicated that Payne died from internal and external haemorrhages and multiple traumatic injuries.[171][172] The forensic experts reported 25 injuries caused by the fall and stated that Payne's traumatic brain injuries were "enough to cause death", with the bleeding in his head and upper body also contributing to his death. The examination found no signs of a fight and noted that Payne was alone in the room at the time of his death.[173][174]
Getting fucked up on whiskey and klonopin, trashing your hotel room, then diving head first from the balcony at the age of 31 is a pretty cool way to go out, ngl. -
