I have no clue, so I am assuming no until I get further information. They are desperate to pretend they can, though, which is impressive. I mean, someone being so desperate to believe a fictional character exists that they pretend that they believe it exists to other people. Are they just hoping that wishing will make it so? do they want other people to think they did it and be jealous or something? The mind boggles. At any rate, I should shut up about this tulpa nonsense and let it go back to facebook retards.

Tulpae are actually a fairly old concept with roots in Tibetan Buddhism. I've heard that the intended use of one is to create a "physical" representation of your subconscious in order to improve yourself, meaning a tulpa often manifests with all the bad that entails.* However, bronies ignored that part and went straight to "WOW I CAN PRETEND TO gently caress APPLEBLOOM."

*Note that this is literally just poo poo I heard somewhere, and attempts to find a source for this have been met with page upon page of brony forums

"Tulpa" is a Tibetan word. The plural is not "tulpae". Tibetan doesn't have plural forms of nouns---you either know from context, from the sentence having no definite article, or you include a plural demonstrative marker. (The latter being like the difference between "I bought a sheep" and "I bought these sheep" in English.)

He means that the joke is red meat shortens the lives of cows because we kill them and eat their meat. Which is red. So they arent alive any more and didnt live as long as they otherwise might have, because of eating red meat.

So if the bottom commenter hadnt missed the point he wouldnt be saying "Carnivores cant eat vegetables!", but something like "Salad shortens lives of lettuce".

One of my friends posted this wall of mental text:

Someone on Facebook posted:

Dear Mr. Cameron,

Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK 's economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis fixed

4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university -
Crime rate fixed

5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....
And there's your money back in duty/tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

Also.....
Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.

This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.

They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

Think about this (more points of contention):

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria?

And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

I think it's an awkward rewrite of an American version with some bonus racism tacked onto the end. Usually she just posts "Urgent!!!" notices about missing pets and horoscopes that are "so true."

Of course it does, you get it back from in tax from the newly acquired two-pack-a-day smoking habit that the nation's elderly now have mandated for them by the government. Obviously we don't care about the cost to their health or the NHS but then we're conjuring up 125,000 surplus cows from somewhere and "fixing" the housing crisis by telling 10 million people to all buy a house at the same time.

My favourite part is where it claims that being "left all alone and unsupervised" would be as detrimental to the well being of criminals as it would be to elderly people in care homes. Although I suppose it won't matter because there won't be criminals any more now that retired people will be sending their children to school.
