I know most of the Aliens, so that's what I picked. You can salvage their technology and build yourself a transdimensional spinship. Also I'm on a Fallout New Vegas kick right now. Heavily modded. I want to find me my very own Willow and go gallavanting around the wastes, looting abandoned building wrecks for ammo left in lockers and fully cooked turkey dinners left in garbage cans. I know that's not in the Fallout games but that still perturbs me.

Is it healthy to know things? ...yes?

Eh, there are already more cracks in the fabric of reality than we'd think. Just go with the flow, and you'll turn out alright.

Yay squirrel! I loathe and detest weather-related heat, so I am overjoyed when it starts to get cold again. You can always put on a layer, but you can't take off your skin! I am naked under my skin. Yeah I said that. No significant season-related accomplishments in store! Continue to work, thrive, learn, understand, forgive, and be awesome.

Spicy pickled vegetables. I love how all three of those words, when taken individually, are not everyones' cup of tea, but when combined, they form some form of trifecta that just drives people away. I love you. No real reason. Just all of the above. :-3 So many people where I work don't like sushi or at least can't eat it, but the stuff is heaven on earth when made right.

^ Really loving this post. I had been thinking (and wanting to say) something like that for a while now; at least the first half of the post. I do believe that this level of reality is more symbolic than not, so things take a while to achieve, rather than the base soul level which works a lot faster, so the spiritual mind has to cooperate with the physical brain to achieve what it wants. I highly doubt that a sentient Tulpa would be possible if this were not the case. I can get behind phantom wings and tails and such being a product of some massive craziness in the brain, though I'm dubious it's strictly brain related because obviously we do not have wings or tails to have phantom sensations from them, but something that's sentient would require a hell of a lot more structure than random firings in the brain that persistently make more sense than static.

Download and run RKill, then Some Rootkit Busters, and then AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool, and then do stuff with RogueKiller and then run ComboFix. Then when it's all done, run Malware Bytes and SuperantiSpyware, then your Antivirus, which I recommend Avast for. Results may vary. Be sure you don't have any Norton product installed before using RogueKiller though. I've seen Norton freak out and block access to the internet after running RogueKiller.

Towels aren't thick enough. Whenever we dry our hands, there's always moisture remaining. Then someone goes and does the unthinkable and shakes your hand, and you have to make up some stupid excuse as if it wasn't extremely obvious that you had washed your hands, but you just have to make sure they know you washed your hands. Whenever I place a towel on that clothespin-hook, I double it up on the hook. It's so much more efficient.

I like how this topic makes it clear that absolutely nobody is perfect, and the only people we have to idolize are ourselves in honor of our own potential and the discipline that propels it forever onward. That is excellent. My most striking disability is indeed a rather disabling speech impediment. There are times when I text faster than I can speak. I am dreadfully fearful of phones, though not so much for me, but for making people wait, which I am absolutely loathe to do. I view this as the ability to impart the gift of tolerance-practice upon others though, so I'm okay with this. I have a fog of the mind. I have absolutely no idea what it is. I've had it since 2010. I feel dizzy but without actually feeling dizzy, which shouldn't make any sense to read whatsoever, and I wouldn't blame you one bit for it. If anyone here knows of the Let's Player Raocow, I speak in a manner reminiscent of him. Mexico. It amuses countless people, but disables my ability to be "on the same page" with everyone else. Instead of seeing one person's innate objective, I see the vast array of possibilities that may arise with any particular action. I would get yelled at for not doing the most obvious next steo in an operation, and I would look on with bewilderment why they aren't focusing on a step that would save them thirteen steps later. It's a very strange fog indeed. Also I am naked under my clothes. ... *checks* ... yes. Yes I am. How horrible that must be for all of you. Or half of you who aren't straight. I don't care.

I was just watching this interesting program on television about how you can't truly trust your brain, and you can trust other people only slightly more. They had this little game where they had a bucket of money on the table and two people sitting there. Each person could choose to split or steal, and their answer is revealed at the same time. If both people choose split, they both get half the money! If one person chooses split and the other person chooses steal, then the person who chose steal gets all of the money. If both people choose steal, then nobody gets any money. Again, they only get to see what the other person decided at the same time after both people have chosen. So this is where you have to make a choice. Do you believe the other person will be trusting and trust you? Then you could both pick Split, and get some money. Or, if you think they'll trust you, you could be a total jerk and steal all the money. But if you think the other person looks untrustworthy, they probably won't pick split at all, and you won't end up with any money regardless! So your best bet to get any money at all is to choose split. Unless you're the jerk in the relationship. So what do you do? You have two out of four possible combinations of results to win money; one wins more, the other wins less. The other two choices win you no money, but the other person either all the money or none of the money.

I'm waiting for a few sticks of RAM to arrive so I can install them in the desktop PC of an old family friend. Literally, an old man. I'm also waiting until dawn so I can get up early, charge my ancient iPod Mini, and de-weed the driveway so I can apply some filler.

I don't have the time to be superstitious. I just walked underneath twelve ladders while carrying four black cats under my arms and on my head, all while stepping on cracks, while knocking down mirrors that were laying on top of the ladders. I have a lot of work to do to undo all that superstitious nonsense. I don't know what this post is trying to do. But it was fun to write. ;-3

I apologize if I was unclear; I had meant to imply that my favorite sport is Unreal Tournament on the PC, which has a tendency to involve wall jumping, ridiculously huge combatants fighting to the death, the need to frag each other, and pegging each other from clear across the map. My relationship to most modern sports is as follows.

Most of the sports I tend to root for involve wall jumping, ridiculously huge combatants fighting to the death, the need to frag each other, and pegging each other from clear across the map. So yes, for all of those reasons, I am very much excited about this football season.

I'm afraid of people unknowingly contradicting themselves in a short period of time. Like someone who commands you to sit down, then yells at you for sitting down and shouting that they didn't tell you to sit down. It's your word against theirs, and if somehow you can prove them wrong via film or audio recordings or something, they get mad at you for being audacious enough to bring proof of their mental clumsiness. No really this is a real fear. It's happened to me quite a few times in life. It destroys any sense of consistency that you may have. When life is just chaos, Discord wins. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think this is an irrational fear. It's actually quite a rational fear to be curious about things.

Oh good gravy this is going to be a vicious topic I'll bet. I'll just get to the point of what everyone will probably thing. Yes, doing bad things in order to do good things is probably wrong, but I'm still of the thought that if nobody loses at all, then the violation is of personal freedoms. For example, if someone ever has a chance to say "Well thanks a lot Bob for breaking into my house without causing damage to my door to water all of my houseplants to lovingly keep them alive while I was on vacation," then the only thing that broke was the guy's sense of security and trust, though I feel like the feeling of trust has just been altered. As in, now you can't trust Bob not to break into your house, but you know he's capable of diligence and benevolence. Then again, anyone could break into your house. You just don't know whether or not they're going to water your plants while stealing your stuff. Isn't that always true? Just because you don't actually see a person breaking the rules, doesn't mean they don't break the rules. I remember this phrase pertaining to a guy who knows he's being cheated by his mechanic in regards to car reparation costs. "I'd rather be cheated by someone I know rather than someone I don't know." What a silly phrase. ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- My own example is a precarious but useful one for the sake of this topic. I belong to a fangame community elsewhere, and someone's fan game from 2003 was a SPECTACULAR example of the engine's finest. It was a legendary piece of work. Completely amazing. But it was buggier than an Elbonian outhouse, and the years did not treat it well, especially considering a spotty lack of backwards-compatibility. So I hacked into it in 2011 and started to fix up all the worst of the bugs, and released it back into the public. But people were still finding bugs left and right, so I kept at it. Over two years of dramatic and vast improvements later, the improvements are still going strong, and the game is shaping up to be something formidable. The original author found out and witnessed the innumerable bug-fixes and gave his approval. I was so happy. The community really deserves to see this game reach its modern potential, and no bugs should ever stop it from working.

We're in pain from various things all the time. A tiny itch that becomes a tiny scratch that becomes a larger scratch that becomes a gaping sore. So what's one needle? A needle is at least a real tangible source of pain. Tiny pains that just erupt on the body for no conceivable reason don't have much of a source. If someone isn't afraid of those, then why would a theoretically beneficial needle be of much concern? I'm not too concerned with needles. Have you ever been stabbed by a sparrow? As in they just fly right up to you and don't make any attempt at stopping. A sparrow can embed itself right into you without warning. It's how I got my first pet sparrow. Maybe I'm kidding, maybe I'm not.

What's the stance on kilts, anyway? Is it a manly skirt? Do women wear kilts and get told off for cross-dressing? If you paint a kilt a feminine color, does it make a difference? It's questions like these that make me want to act 15% more random, because the concept of a kilt just nestles into one of those hidden crevices in a subject like this and just messes it all up. It's great. EDIT: I keep forgetting words. Important words.

Eh, it's not that bad. If there's an accidental revealing, somehow, it can be rectified by an explanation as to its benefits within the context of an exhibition of sanity. If the person doesn't know what sanity is, they have a lot of soul-searching to do.

I feel like most peoples' responses so far defy the nature of the poll. Perhaps I'm overthinking this. Ironically, I might also be underthinking this, much to my own chagrin. At some level, I keep thinking that there will be no pragmatic difference between gender equality and gender anonymity. I also keep wanting to swap out the word "gender" for "sex" because physiologically speaking, men are slightly stronger than women and better with spacial reasoning, and women are slightly better with linguistic skills and pain endurance than men. At least that's what I've always heard. Gender has nothing to do with any of that. It's not something that can effectively be ignored or equalized. I wouldn't want to engage a man in a battle of wits, because I might win through attrition, and I might not urge a female coworker to lift that 100 pound back of concrete because they probably wouldn't be able to. If it were me, I would go the way of ignoring the various sexes and genders and just let everyone do whatever they want to do and understand that the individual people are the victims of their birth conditions. If someone is born weaker, let them not have to pick up as heavy of an object, and play to their strengths instead. Assuming the difference is even that great to acknowledge in that particular scenario, whatever it is. We're all the same kind of consciousness. That's the important part. I never met anyone who wasn't important. Or maybe I just don't get it. But that's okay. I love you all anyway.

Well, someone somewhere said this at some point, so... (Yes this entire post was oriented around the uncertainty of a quote. Oh boy.)

(Pretend I quoted your middle paragraph. It's huge. ) Case in point. I'm mainly linking to that because of the introductory paragraph, but I do believe it's possible. It's definitely raised my Smash Bros game to a higher level. Techoh, it's always a joy to read your posts. Thanks for enlightening this thread! Lighting it up, whatever.

ROCK. HARD. ABS. Nah I'm just kidding. I'm surprised nobody posted that yet. It's actually my legs. I have tree-trunk legs. I kick holes in things. Big ones. Big holes in big things. Yes I am proud of that.

Cruising down the roads blasting classical music at full volume while bouncing the car up and down. Thug life.

^ I do agree with this individual above me. Four years ago I involved myself with a bunch of Otherkin, and they turned my world upside down. I found myself repeatedly in situations where I could tell myself "I did not know that was possible." But it does lead somewhere really positive if you are curious enough to look into it. I'm really happy that I am where I am because of where it was able to lead me. Vague post is vague. Probably on purpose. Can o' worms here, is that this is.
