I'm working on my "Why I'm A Feminist" photograph in preparation.

Anyone that thinks that people who mutilate their genitals to fill the void in between their narcissism and self hatred are misguided, I'm calling for your blood. Fatwa, Jihad, all that poo poo.

Although the old news reel gbs was boring it kept me more up to date on current events than I had ever been. I vote functionality over form.

In your post there, Franco's quote (I haven't looked at thread where he posted it) doesn't say which year. Are
you sure he was being serious when he said it, or perhaps setting up a dupe?

Don't forget a full date wasn't given during that whole "LF is returning on Tuesday" debacle.

we really do need a new forum just for current events, called 'current events'. the d&d middle east thread when it was in old gbs was fantastic and now, its pretty gay.

I'm so glad I can smugly lord my intelligence over you fuckers who don't realize the significance of that day and take me completely serious.

Under NO circumstances should the MENSA Troll respond to anybody's criticisms of him; he should instead continue to criticize everybody else and avoid engaging in a two-way conversation.

that would involve demeaning myself enough to talk to the people without $90 and proud parents

Spanish Manlove's private memoirs posted:

Judging by the databases and agencies Cowens has queried over the past months, her private research involves bio-engineered microorganisms to become a real life anime, inertial containment for practical fusion, and subliminal dissemination of information through crew threads of various structures. She plans to save the forums, to protect it from itself. And her opinion of me is therefore unfavorable.

I've shown no interest in the affairs of the external world, and made no investigations for aiding the normals. Neither of us will be able to convert the other. I view the world as incidental to my aims, while she cannot allow someone with enhanced intelligence to work purely in self-interest. My plans for mind-computer links will have enormous repercussions for the world, provoking government or popular reactions that would interfere with her plans. As I am proverbially not part of the solution, I am part of the problem.

If we were members of a society of enhanced minds, the nature of human interaction would be of a different order. But in this society, we have unavoidably become juggernauts, by whose measure the actions of normals are inconsequential. Even if we were twelve thousand miles apart we couldn't ignore each other. A resolution is necessary.

Both of us have dispensed with several rounds of games. There are a thousand ways we could have attempted to kill the other, from painting neurotoxin laced-DMSO on a doorknob to ordering a surgical strike from a US Navy orbital laser platform. We both could have swept the physical area and darknet for each of the myriad possibilities beforehand, and set more traps for each other's sweeps. But neither of us has done any of that, has felt a need to check for those things. A simple infinite regression of second-guessing and double-thinking has dismissed those. What will be decisive are those preparations that we could not predict.

The taxi stops; I pay the driver and walk up to the apartment building. The electric lock on the door opens for me. I take off my coat and climb four flights...
