Baddogma's Other Meta Cafe- Polite Discussions About Scientific Mysticism and General Weirdness

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

No of course no puppy farm. Private people, I don't need a breeder. And I don't want to get ahead of things, still waiting for answers. But oh my a puppy!
Aaaaaaah! I would love it so much!

a reply to: Reverbs

I failed you.

I couldn't fight the urge any longer and have embroiled myself in the Flat Earth conspiracy. And, MAKE NO MISTAKE, it is indeed a conspiracy of the highest order. Perpetrated by the Roundies to discredit the honorable, Truth seeking Flatties.

Its the most important topic of our time, and judging by how seriously the people involved take themselves, they are thankfully approaching the topic with the gravity it deserves!

*ahem*

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I was under the impression that the venerable Dwarves greatest fear is to be buried alive. Makes sense for a race that lives their whole lives surrounded by rock and dirt.

Committing such an atrocity, against the aristocracy no less, is sure to incite reaction.

Have you thought this through?

a reply to: Serdgiam

Apparently not. I just had a nightmare where the dwarves made my personal demons (my mother & my sister) coming after me...
Seriously wtf? WTF? Just what the #?
What's going on here?

My understanding is that they enjoy shiny armor, axes, and hammers.

Perhaps such a gift is in order? You may need to level up your crafting skillz, and grow arms the size of tree trunks..

Hell, add in a beard and at that point they may find you so sexy that they completely forget about your transgressions.

a reply to: Serdgiam

ahh ole Serdgiam in good spirits I see. Ill admit when I first saw flat earth getting popular I had to look into it out of some morbid curiosity. How in the freaking hell did it even get a foothold? I give it a 9.5/10 doom porn level.. Because.. Imagine how BIG that conspiracy is?! It would almost be more people in on it than not in on it and it almost begs to introduce god and the devil, and its not god deceiving the entire planet is it?? gotta escape the devils fake habitat..

but yea where its fun in fantasy land its not at all interesting when you actually THINK about it.


so Now I do the orders and Inventory we changed the hot wings and without the chef there multiple tables said it was the best food they've ever had eating at this restaurant. chef reverbs and friend strike again! best buffalo wings Ive ever tasted for damn sure.

the business end is interesting as well, now that Im being taught the entire way we calculate money and all of that.. Showed off my insane mental math skills.

that was another long day, gave myself one day off, and it cant come soon enough. Tuesday will be interesting Im basically lead breakfast and I guess I know the menu now? lol. my memory is pretty damn good. I could see the entire walk in cooler when going over with the gm in the office why I didnt order certain items. I got called a savant lol, but no Ive done this game many moons ago I ran an entire department at foodlion..

anyway its looking like ive finally found my new work home.

I guess you can tell since I keep talking about it eh?

our numbers are getting a lot closer to where we need to be. Its a really good feeling knowing Im a large part of that from recipes to pleasing guests to ordering to pricing to inventory to labor cost..


Beer!

Hello!

It's been some time since I've been here.

It seems like it's been years.. I think it has.. and here I am STILL waffling
about "going all in".

Oh.. I've let my hairy behind hang out mostly naked on the Aliens and UFOs forums...
saying things that have probably permanently revoked my guest pass to the "old boys
club of occult scientists".

I think that I've helped breath a little life into that forum.. Universe knows that I've
tried to be as generous as I can afford to be.

But I'm holding out.

I've been loving my new wife of 2 years, (she's purely wonderful) and her 3 dogs,
(one is a new puppy) and they are wonderful.. I've never been happier.. I'm in
fact "healed" in a manner of speaking..

and now that I'm healed.. you know *what* has come back to insist that I get back to
work.

The only decision that I've made is that I've had this monkey on my back for far too long..
(as said in another thread), and this monkey has come to believe that I'm his personal
rickshaw. He's got bucket seats and roll bars installed up there....and a small flat screen
TV and he eats sunflower seeds up there... disgusting habit.

Like in Dantes inferno, the only way "up" is down and out. Out the anus actually... that's
where all this is leading it looks like (not kidding).

Anyway.. to better focus, I might leave ATS. I might start a chat thread in general chat
and just confine myself to there.. let the true believers gulp up SWR & Roswell & RFI
to their hearts content.. it's not skin off my big nose. whatever makes them happy..

I got a (famous) guy who wants me to help him refound a podcast type thing... I"m
fairly dubious about that... as the USA has completely sold out to the current psyop
de jure of the month/(the same old one from 1947 in slightly different clothes).

I'm finding I want to discuss a few points with a few very intelligent people.. start
the process of ending my "spiritual constipation"... but I don't know who those
people would be.


At first I just assumed that eventually the "Invisible College" would give me a membershp
card, but they aren't going to do that. In fact, some of the founding members of that old
boys club aren't even members anymore... so scratch that idea.

I don't tend to like religious or spiritual or scientist type people.. or people who aren't
one of the above.. (LOL!) .. when someone gets a primary label of one of the above,
I tend to stop liking them.

I've liked Vallee for a long time, as he's an "occult scientist" so that breaks boundaries..
but i'm not liking much of his current work these days..

Also to quote (I believe) Groucho Marks, "I wouldn't join any club that would have me
as a member". That is sort of how i feel.. and that includes my own club.. I don't
want to have my own club.

Really... I think my bar tab is way extended.. and I just don't want to pay the tab.

I need to pay the tab, so I can keep getting drunk on a new tab.

Well... just stopping by... it's kinda like the book series "The Wheel of Time"..
here we are again.. in a new age that is the same old crap as the former age.

a reply to: Reverbs

I honestly don't know how it got a foothold. Part of it is good though, and that is the ability to question something that we can't personally verify with our own eyes or experience.

Maybe that's the thing.. maybe its a psyop to demonize folks who desire to personally verify things instead of simply accepting the "authorities" word at face value.

Oh, you don't believe "X?" You're just like those flat earthers! Seems to be a not too far-fetched explanation..

Congratulations on the job, by the way. Finding something like that is tough. My brother in law has gone through extensive training as a chef, and we had a full kitchen here until recently. Lots of drama there after my father died..

We couldn't convince anyone that using things like frozen pizza crusts was more expensive and tastes much worse than freshly made dough. Ah well..

I love cooking though. Can't do it as much anymore, but still enjoy it. Seems like you are moving from cook to chef. Some think that distinction is made by skill level, but its more that the chef is a logistics machine in everything from running the line to inventory.

Well.. ok.. we can still probably work with that.

If you can make a blacksmith hammer that is shiny AND glows, they'll be like putty in your hands.

It'll probably help to explain that a "dirt nap" is actually a good thing for dwarves. Helps the skin get a nice, earthy glow. Maybe it can even start a new trend among the upper class?

a reply to: KellyPrettyBear

Welcome back!

Or.. err.. not?

Maybe you could start a whole new secret society with awesome handshakes and hats?

a reply to: Serdgiam

Capes.

I like Capes.

But people look at you weirdly if you wear one.

The Phantom of the Opera got away with it.
Mageneto makes it look good.

But I don't think that it could work for us regular people.

I don't want to do a "secret society".

My "teacher" of 30 years ago recommended against it; and it's
good advice.

Bring this crap out of the dark and into the light..

not play dumb games and masturbate about supposed "secrets".

Prove them or LOSE THEM.

;-)

a reply to: KellyPrettyBear

Ooh, capes! I dig that. Didn't even think about that particular, spectacular accoutrements.

While the secret society thing was clearly a joke, I do think they can actually be used just as you said (to bring things to the light).

In fact, if done correctly with the right outlook, it minimizes the chances of said group being derailed in the typical manners (character assassinations, etc.), while maximizing the ability to get the actual "work" into the public eye. In a sense, it allows the work to speak for itself without muddying the waters with largely irrelevant factors.

Granted, I don't know of any groups that actually do this, but that novelty alone is appealing, to me at least. Then again, I have a thing for novelty. And whimsicality, naturally.

On a semi-related note, I wonder how the fields of sciences would change under the same concept. Meaning, if no names were ever applied to white papers, general research, etc.

I'll vote for you to be president, if you can make that happen.
It would really help the world.

Thats a nice escape/cycle as your avatar... from a "crop circle" yes? They do help and give us messages; even if "board/bored" made.


*For any Buddhists*

Studying the elements; is a good choice as then one can truly become the real "untouchable" that link of causation of "becoming" is a good start for those versed in breaking that chain with ease.

Then of course shrinking down/swelling as one with breath... the contemplation of holes/voids. With no stupid fingers involved by hand or mouth or all one does is learn to avoid. Instead become that black hole they point at or void with as a mouth and vortex them into their own pit to escape being their own god/devil/demon of death, birth, sickness.

Enjoy the liver!

a reply to: KellyPrettyBear

Hi that's nice you're stopping by.



I got a hangover from my rant yesterday and made a complete a$$ out of me and Reverbs I'm afraid.
...I seriously wrote Putin an Email?! And afterwards dreamed Nemzow congragulated me on that because "it's all very different than what it seems".

The strangest thing to happen to me in over 40 years happened to me today.
Now that's sayin' somethin'.

I was talking to a friend on the phone today, and he called me on the carpet
for some of my bad behavior. He was right, so I apologized. I always apologize.
I'm an expert at it. But I'm so good at apologizing, that I don't always LEARN
anything from my bad behavior and I keep justifying it.

Later today, I let myself show incredible pettiness and weakness to a friend on
ATS in an IM. I was complaining how I could have told so and so, about so and so
over 40 years ago... and saved them a lot of work.. but of course actually
contacting any of these fancy research institutes is basically impossible..
you can call.. you can write.. you can fax.. you can email.. it don't matter..
they can be 3x as "fringe as you are".. but if you re not their EXACT sort of
Fringe, and a dues paying member who acknowledges their dominance..
they won't talk to you.. unless they think you are rich and want to give them
money.. that always works.. so I made an ass out of myself.

Oh.. I've made an ass out of myself many times in life.. I seem to do it almost
daily.. at least once.. but I've been proud of it.. it's been my "edge".. my
armor... that protected me from death when I was deeply abused as a child..
and young adult.. and adult.

well anyway.. I'm not sure anyone cares that much about such a human post
from me.. but to cut to the quick.. something amazing happened!

I saw this little knot of frustration, pain and anger inside of me for a moment..
then I saw it melt away.

I'd been carrying that since I can remember.. I was quite aware of it..

So now I'm all goddam touchy feely and shid. I used to play this dumb little
video game sometimes.. well I don't want to. Virtual entities are needlessly
hurt in it.

i don't feel like arguing with anyone.

I don't feel like proving anything.

I don't particularly feel like researching anything.

That one little knot... so powerful... so empty and ridiculous..

I guess I'm glad that it dissolved...

Oh.. there might be more in there somewhere.. but I feel like a different person..

Well of course I am.. that's how it works for living things...

Anyway.

Neat.

I'll be someone different tomorrow.. I'll cross that bridge when I cross it.
Not worth thinking about. That's how it always was anyway.. but maybe
i'll be less of a childish but head.
