The Mandela Effect and Other Ludicrous Things

[psychic vampire.]

I just personally believe that even the people who believe in the possibility of scientific progress, when science is divorced from said corporate or political interests, are coming from an anthropocentric point if view. at the end of the day, i hold a personal position that technology and civilization - and all the components that prop them up - are worse for the planet and all animals, and that humanity should not hold dominion over the Earth or non human lives. I know it is a wing nutty belief, and i also have literally zero expectations that others will agree, it is just where i am coming from. I also know that this is a fight i have already lost, i know that some scientists actually agree with me, and i know that this belief is mutually exclusive with me using the internet to post on a message biard about electrical boxes. I live in a society that forces me to be a hypocrite every day.

Good to know.

The thing that I find funniest about the flat earth thing is that you don't even need the pictures in space to disprove it. Hell, the Greeks knew the earth was round thousands of years ago. Seafaring cultures figured it out, too. They could see that when a ship sailed away, its hull disappeared before its sails. And in reverse, when you're sailing away from land, the buildings disappeared, then the hills, then the mountains. They realized that the only way this makes sense is if they were looking at the horizon of a round surface.

Or if you don't live in a landlocked state.

Human progress doesn't necessarily mean we have to disregard life on the planet.
As I stated earlier there is a lot more development happening to make this equation sustainable.
If you want to blame something for the rape of the earth then point to idiocy and its children, overpopulation and false economy.

We need to make it off-world, so to speak. I'm a firm believer that will be the thing that pulls us through.

You guys don't wanna hear what I think about Apes on Shrooms.

So, I'm thinking about getting one of these. What do you guys think? What kind of effects would be best to use with it?

Or you could just not be an oppositional-defiant jack-ass.

I swear, if CNN ran a story about most humans having a nose on their face, half the country would cut theirs off to spite the "mainstream media."

That picture is so sad though

If they let go of each other's hands one of the guys is left with "You're not" and the other's just says "Alone"

Like, maybe they should have written the whole thing on both of their arms?

I'm just picturing a guy huddled in the dark corner of a room wondering how he got there, meditating on the words "You're not" as his only clue as to his prior existence

Reminds me of my wife... she made this motivational poster for her office with press-on letters, it said, "DO IT"

The next day, the T fell off, now it just says, "DO I," like a question, which we agreed was closer to reality
