True Story of the Day

"BriBri (may he rest in peace until November 1)"

Unbelievable. To think i would go back to a forum from which i was banned for like seven months (for making 'death threats') after defending myself from biker gangs threatening to leave me in a ditch or some such nonsense.

And the admin totally botched it, too He bans me instead of the person who started the death threats... who is now eternally spamming the forum with his daily plebian heartache and struggle.

If that circus didn't blow its chance to be again graced by my presence before, it sure as shit has blown it now.

Heaven will be set ablaze before i ever log into that rest home for the terminally ill, again.

"BriBri"... little pet names for our friends? This is a/the christian missionary cat lady that sent the cops to my house twice. Lol... it's almost like I'm being teased or something. Does this clown want me to shoot a cop? Which part of explaining how one's life has been ruined by being charged and incarcerated twice for shit he didn't do by the State and that one's entire life has become dedicated to revenge against the State... is not clear?

Lol, if i had been arrested when those cops showed up unannounced because they smelled some weed, and i went to jail again and all the bullshit that follows... i might'a ended up resolving to send her the chief of POleece's head in a box and put it on my to-do list.

There are all manner of kooks on the internet, mates. Let this one be an example. And I'm tellin' any newbs that have recently showed up that there is a very decent chance you will become one of them if you stick around.

Why is 'making it personal' so important for a philosopher? Because that's how you find people out. Their 'philosophy' is just what they've most recently read somewhere... or something they've been comfortably committed to for a while and now just repeat absentmindedly. That 'philosophy' won't tell you if the person is a scumbag or a saint.

For instance, there can be a good capitalist if the capitalist is just a confused hypocrite and doesn't know anything about the ethical implications of what he's doing. Like mom 'n pop's burger joint. Good people... but only because they are dumb. But you wouldn't know this unless you got personal. You'd assume they were evil capitalists like all the other ones until you saw how adorable Howard looked when he tried to explain what he knew about capitalism and why it's so good. How could you be angry at that? Look at em. It's like the Ross Perot amateur hour.

Fun fact: the young Albert Fish was forced to drink urine, eat feces, and stand naked to be whipped before his peers by nuns when he was a boy in a (catholic, i think?) foster home.

Okay, so then why didn't all the other badly behaved kids who were punished like this not also become sociopaths? Because they lacked the intelligence and insight Albert had. A healthy child would become permanently deranged by such experiences and from them see much deeper into the nature of things. He would fully absorb the insanity that christianity inflicts on its victims and become a living embodiment of all its turmoil. Later in life, his children, whom he cared for dearly, would find him standing naked on a hill shouting, "I'm Jesus Christ!"

Oh, this dude was something else. Lodged needles up in his groin. Aksed a jailer if he could have some alcohol so he could shove a soaked piece of cloth up'is ass and set the fuckin thing on fire. Said if he wuddint supposed to kill someone, god would stop em before he did. Yeah, we see how great that worked out.

A christian becomes one of two things. Either a docile zombie waiting to die or a complete lunatic. Haven't you noticed?

Fish was the great punisher. We all have to suffer and Fish is gonna see to it once he's done beating himself silly with a nail studded paddle. You want into Heaven, you gotta suffer, pal. That was Albert's motto.

Special thanks to the King James Bible and foster home personnel.

Why is the mud-slinging between angry male and female posters fighting about whose fault it is (men or women's) that we're all so fucked up, such an important philosophical essential? Because it expresses one of, if not THE, most horrible truth second only to the fact of our mortality. That the only thing keeping women from being gang raped by frustrated men everywhere is the law. It's that old evolutionary fact we can't avoid, escape, or ever dispose of.

What is the law, though. In this case, it's a code of conduct set forth by the rich property owning class so that the lower exploited classes won't be preoccupied with fighting over women and instead pay attention to work. 'Social stability', as it were. The nuclear family unit... a pair of mating adults that remain monogamous so that child (future laborer) rearing will go smoothly and there won't be any arguments about whose baby momma dat is.

This monogamous model is still working, and all the little conflicts that result from this unnatural arrangement (men are polygamous) are resolved by channeling frustrated libidinal energy into commodity fetishism. If you can't get laid, buy stuff.

The priest, the politician, and the hypergamous woman. Three indispensable tools for the capitalist class.

[promethean75]

Anyone who does not take up arms after hearing this has got to be already dead.

The capitalist loan sharks (Visa, Master Card, etc). You don't HAVE to use our services, so you're making a free choice to do so... but something tells us a good eighty percent of you will not only want our services but absolutely need them to live. Hey, man, we didn't make the rules, and you don't have to apply for a card. So get off our back, etc. It's the by-stander effect, but different. When nobody does anything to help because they think someone else is about to. In this case, every capitalist is a part of the problem... and every capitalist says he's not a problem... the other ones are. If you can't buy guy's products, it's because you're too broke from your credit card payments. If you can't make your credit card payments, it's because you're too broke from buying guy's products.

Yesterday, i made payment number three on the $5,000+ i needed so i could pay the capitalist to break my truck three months ago, and of the $200, only $57 applied to the principle. I just gave a credit card company almost $150 dollars in interest only in a single payment.

This is all new to me, bruv. Never used a credit card before. I work for a living and don't buy shit with money i don't have.

What's so beautiful about this story is that it's not that i am incapable of making money but that my means of acquiring employment have been artifically sabotaged by the State (for reasons explained 128 times). In the last month I've had maybe three job calls... one of which i had to turn down because the other entity, the capitalist garage owner, incapacitated my truck.

Are you seeing the pattern... the little pieces of puzzle that fit together? What do these three entities have in common; Master Card, state prosecutor's office, and garage owner. 1 and 3 rely on each other to stay in business and f*** the citizen for profit. 2, like 1 and 3, fucks the citizen but for personal professional advancement (see plea bargaining, conviction quotas, etc). Now, nine times out of ten if a citizen finds himself before 2, it's because of something 1 or 3 did. The vast majority of crime is theft... and the vast majority of thieves are blue-collar. You don't even need to do the math. I did it for you.

It's called The Great Circle Of Capitalists, and you are treading water right in the middle of em.

Even if these unique trappings happen only once as they have in a black swan event such as myself, there ceases to be the rule with this single exception. With this event, the legitimacy of everything around collapses.

Woe to he who is still going as if everything around him is not now smoke and ash. His god, his State, his civil laws, all of it. Poof.

A student once aksed his teacher "how does one live when they are not a Promethean, master?" The teacher replied "this is a non-sequitor. One does not truly live unless they are a Promethean."

f*** i may never pay this fuckin' debt off. Not at a measley $200 a month.

[promethean75]

I aks this question again as i did years ago. At what age should you be expected to know that the chairs make a horrible grinding sound at the Starbucks if you don't lift them lightly when you slide them across the floor? Thirty, I should say. Forty, certainly.

Now, this guy is not new to the coffee shop thing because he's got all the laptop gear, so you can tell he's no stranger to the coffee shop experience.

I say also that the vast majority of coffee shop floors are tiled and that I've yet to find a coffee shop chair with wheels on it.

With these circumstantial facts in mind, i may safely infer that by his age, he should know well to lift his chair a little to reduce if not prevent that horrible brain rattling sound.

I feel i should beseech the gentleman so that i might gain understanding.

Imagine willingly entering into a career of law enforcement. This is incomprehensible to me. To think that I'm sure i have a right and even a duty to impose myself on someone else with lethal force. How many assumptions must be taken for granted first to be able to do that.

What if you found out there is no god and people are absolutely not obligated to do anything... that they have nothing to do with each other and are none of each other's business.

To be in law enforcement means to have made the most obnoxious assumptions. It means to present yourself as the most intrusive type possible... all the while being utterly mistaken about your reasons. Isn't this the most contemptuous type? Certainly the most dangerous.

First question of conscience; is one an Eastwood or a Van Cleef?

[Phil8659]

What if you found out there is no god and people are absolutely not obligated to do anything... that they have nothing to do with each other and are none of each other's business.

This is a ridiculously stupid premise. Take it down to its simplest form, cause and effect. Now apply it as the definition of a life support system of a living organism.
Aristotle, what he learnt from Plato: Every thing which has a function exists for that function. This is just another way to state cause and effect.
We are potentially the most powerful life support system possible. The reason we are an information processor is to make life supporting judgments. This means that we can call the ultimate judge as our power, or again, the Word, etc., all of the terms we use refer back to our biologically defined job as a life support system.
You have also account for evolution, which determines how capable we are of doing our own work as a life support system.
You do not seem to have anything resembling an encompassing grasp of what and why you are.

[promethean75]

Yes, Phil, I understand. Let's have a look at something I just found.

A philosopher aksed this question at another forum. The patron philosophers offered little real analysis of the question, nor did they identify the real causes of the phenomena in question.

"Was free sex ever a thing ? And if so why did it die out?"

A couple rules of thumb always exist in any society that has a sizely population, bigger than a hunter-gatherer group, that has organized its daily activities around producing and distributing goods by/to mating pairs that own (administer over) some amount of property. Because of this organization - which results in a disparity of wealth and power (it's natural) - mating competition between males becomes more intense, and promiscuous polygamy practiced by females is dangerous to them. There's an unspoken agreement among men that the women be sorted out properly so we don't have to come to blows over them. This is the basis of the family unit; the stable miniature empire... with father as emporer, wife as queen, etc., who maintain a dwelling and commit to a profession, either as a capitalist or wage/salary earner.

The paradoxical side to this is that the thing that destabilizes productive societies (mating competition) is the thing that motivates consumerism in general. The 'stages' of life are set up to prep you for the end game; buying property and reproducing... if your property and station in life make you eligible for mating.

Part of the unspoken deal between men is that we forfeit our natural power to take women by force and let them choose us instead. This is excellent because it channels that aggressive mating energy into a culture of consumption... and this is what keeps the wheels turnin' and bread on everyone's (almost) table.

You have also the issue of the specialized tasks of child rearing. So, it's easier to designate a single pair to caring for the childrens instead of letting the childrens be passed around between random mating pairs. That requires coordination and planning. It restricts a lot of productivity by putting an unnecessary burden on working families. Much easier to assign the childrens to the actual biological parents.

Incidentally, polygamy came to become thought of as a libertine privilege of the upperclass or the extreme opposite... the depraved animal behavior of lowercase immoral degenerates.

Also, polygamy increases STD occurrence... especially before penicillin and such was invented. Whole sections of cities in new industrial societies would have gonorrhea. You simply couldn't be a sexy beast back then unless you were part of an exclusive bourgeois sex club that had doctors on hand to issue medications for urinary tract infections, which you would often acquire after removing Sandra's petticoats.

[promethean75]

Attempt to challenge the theory that God made the universe so fuckin big so we couldn't ever get to the edge of it.

Only if God had in mind maintaining the existence of the human species for several hundreds of millions of billions of years would it have been necessary to arrange space such that it contains a never-ending array of these navigational systems called galaxies, solar systems, habitable planets, etc.

According to the Bible, though, we wanna say our end is 'in sight' here on planet erf. Like, you wouldn't hear all the street corner preachers shouting the end is near as recently as ancient Rome. Such ranting would be grotesquely premature... by hundreds of millions of billions of years.

That being the case, either God is appallingly capricious and excessive, or we aren't created by a God and instead are just thermodynamic pockets of some cool chemistry and physics.

Lol, if you found out the universe was sprinkled with life everywhere, it wouldn't add conviction to your Christianity. Quite the contrary. What we thought was this miraculous magic ended up just being what happened when g71 L-type gas distributions in a Schmidtean five-dimensional brane field stabilizes after slowing down to .26 lightyears per block of Heinz-space. This happened all the time, everywhere. And here we are all like "omg omg this is so weird. How did we happen?!"

[promethean75]

What to do with the ICs of the world, then. It has become abundantly clear that they are not able to muster the courage to be open about our absurd circumstances and insist on pretending to believe and peddle what they secretly don't believe because they lack any vision for man... think he's fucked if there isn't a god, thinks life type x isn't worth living unless you get a chance to go to heaven afterward.

It's not enough for the ICs to have been able to contribute to making the world a little easier for future humans through living some kind of productive life. That's not enough. Every individual has to be an immortal spirit, or the whole story is a useless joke just like the Buddha said.

Or perhaps the ICs tell the white lie as a means to maintain civil order and deter criminal activity. Ah... their mental ward nurses, then. They distribute meds at the window three times a day to keep patients from fighting and stealing from and murdering each other. Christianity; spiritual Thorazine?

They're basically saying since we're all fucked, it isn't fair if you, nihilist, have a good time, light it up and wreck shit while we don't. You will live your banal life just like we are living ours and wait patiently to die like everyone else, tough guy. They're the anti-Durdenists, essentially. Liars trying to stop libertinism and unadulterated hedonism. Shame on THEM.

Introducing Sho Dat. Born in a Richmond VA hood. Stabbed his sista when he was eight, and his moms put em in a mental institution. Brought a .25 to school to shoot some kids who were conspiring to steal his ring; said he was "gonna send they ass through there", i.e., kill dem n*ggaz. Got expelled, home schooling failed, and he ends up on a murda rap in prison. While in prison he's up for eight days on meth and stabbing all the inmates. All the gangs were terrified of em and he wouldn't join any of em. Becomes a hired prison hitman, etc. Pick it up at 8:00 when bro axes him about the mental hospital. Bruh said "I was so young I'int know what the f*** was goin' on, know'um sayin'." Said he's capable of having respect and loyalty but incapable of feeling love for anything..

This guy might be the rillest gangsta-ass muhfucka that ever lived and I'm quite confident you will share my opinion on this matter after reviewing the material.

Edit lol at 11:45: "naw I'ont have too many friends they either do some flawed shit or I be done shot they ass or robbed em." This is my fuckin' dude right here. That cocked head squinted eyes chin up gangsta look. Ceasar himself would tremble before this man.

[promethean75]

At 25:30.

He gets to prison and notices everybody in the block is black except for two white dudes whose bunks are safely up against the CO control room at the front of the block. Sho Dat akses the guard where his bunk is at and bro said "see that bunk waaaaaay in the back" and Sho Dat was like "goooooddamn."

[promethean75]

"I got stabbed in the head, right here on my arm and by my gall bladder"

"Did they take you to the hospital?"

"You'ont go to no hospital. You put some toothpaste on that shit and it gonna heal itself"

Note: if you request medical attention, you alert the officers of the fight you were in. If you do that, you risk incriminating yourself, someone else, or getting the whole block locked down. And if you do THAT, you gonna need more than toothpaste the next time.

Sho Dat said when those gang members came in his cell to get his canteen he'd rock out on all five of em.
