And honestly, with your little outbursts—or those weird rants from that Saturday Night Live guy up there where his post makes zero sense and he’s just trying to act smart while totally misinterpreting everything he quotes, which ends up looking ridiculous (since I clearly pointed out that suicide and sacrificing your life for a noble cause aren't the same thing, so I don't know what he's seeing or what he's on to be hallucinating like that)—or when someone quotes you for the first time asking "Do you know how big the universe is?" and you immediately start begging them not to mess with you, calling them rude and threatening to take the conversation elsewhere... like, what kind of reaction are you actually expecting here? A round of applause? A standing ovation? What exactly?

And how would we talk "differently"? Like, do you even get my answer to your request? Is everything clear and following the rules? You could have just ignored me if you didn't like it and that's that...
If you think something is rude or breaks the site rules, just hit the report button, it's that simple. Then you can see if the mods agree with you. You can't really demand that people stop quoting your posts just because you feel like it, especially when you call them rude for explaining basic forum etiquette. Honestly, it makes no sense to expect people on a public American forum not to quote you in a thread. If you don't want that, then just don't post, problem solved... it should be obvious, and we wouldn't even need to be having this whole conversation.

Elvis Presley 🤣 Okay... you didn't get what I was getting at at all when I asked if you knew how big the universe was. Whatever, doesn't matter anymore.

What exactly am I "not getting"? Seriously, look at how this conversation actually went down.

Everyone getting all worked up over this topic... 🤣

From what I can see tonight, you've managed to pick a fight with everyone in this subforum, at least over the last few days.
I'd appreciate it if you directed any complaints toward me directly, rather than wrapping them up in replies to other members. Especially given how much you clearly distrust my ability to read or understand anything.
To repeat myself:
Anyone who can't distinguish between sacrificing oneself for another—or a higher cause—and simply ending their own pathetic life doesn't deserve to be posting on this forum, let alone living...
I know I've said it before, but that's how I feel. And since you seem incapable of writing, understanding, or applying anything to real life, I'll say it again.

Go with Bogo, (read: get lost)

neonmarlin39 said:Getting a little heavy today, huh? Do you even know what humor is, let alone how to spot it—especially when it involves 😁 at the end?

Hallucinating after they're gone? Or are you talking about someone taking a lethal dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms to end it all? 😁

Btw, I'm actually curious if there's ever been a single case where someone committed suicide just out of pure curiosity. Usually, Suicide prevention awareness tells us it's an act done while someone is in a really bad headspace. Like, if you jump in front of a bullet to save a loved one, that's not suicide in that sense, that's just being a hero. Maybe this author's curiosity is just a cover for some kind of negative mental state?

Honestly, reading stuff like this makes me want to end it all.
So suicide is a sacrifice if it isn't suicide?
And a "bad headspace" is just sacrificing yourself for someone you love?

Sweetie, did you write this in kindergarten?

Do you ever actually think about what you're typing?
Do you ever bother to read what you wrote?

P(aket).S(atirov).:
I'll email you a care package of razor blades... maybe shave your veins instead of mine.

I know it’s probably too much for you to wrap your head around the idea of stepping in front of a bullet. If you can't tell the difference between suicide and self-sacrifice, you probably can't tell a bullet from a pebble or a gun barrel.
Anyone who can't distinguish between dying for a cause and taking their own life should just get it over with. I promise to send a decent wreath to the funeral...

slyviper47 said:Which one of these two is actually right... 😉

Probably the "maybe" option.
Ever heard of Satire boy?
I could probably pull off a lava cake impression. If I tried...

Anyway, you down for some pancakes?

slyviper47 said:🙂 😘
what was the word for those pancakes? 😉

Yeah, you're good with dates...
With castles!
Whatever.
😘

Anyway, last time I was at Stubak, which was three times (the first, the last, and never again), and that was ages ago, I was more interested in stuff from the Vienna Forest School than any pancakes...
If they don't have them there, let me know and I'll email you a recipe.

Mm-hmm.
Beautiful.
Lovely.
The lady wants some special attention...
Give me a break.
She’s trying to pass a typing certification for an administrative role on her sixth attempt, after failing every single time she tried before.
And she’s lying about her age, too.
Pathetic.
As if you weren't already typing with just one finger.
As if you haven't been tripping over your words for years.
Of course you have heartburn when you drink tea with honey.
Drink tea with rum.
Tea without rum is just depressing.
If you don't have rum, throw some bourbon in there.
Or at least some whiskey.
You could skip the tea entirely.
It's safer that way.
Who knows what kind of herbs they're mixing into tea these days.
You'll probably trip over your tongue even more, but at least you'll feel like you're typing with two fingers.
Besides, it's not your fault you have such a long tongue and plenty of teeth left.
My own tongue is getting harder to control... mostly because the muscle is thinning out.
Anyway, you're doing fine with that one finger.
You're actually writing more now than when you used two.
Mm-hmm.
You're even swearing.
That's how it should be.
Just more proof that every cloud has a silver lining.
Another sign that every living thing needs intense supervision.
Should start from a young age.
Should last a lifetime.
Instead of sending people to the beach, we should send them all to JLL (lazybones lying around).
Look, take this perfect opportunity—enroll in an accelerated medical program.
With Scott Allen10 as your mentor, you won't be able to fake it.
Even medical skeptics like me might actually learn something from this.
Along the way, if you're interested, I'll introduce you to my old boss. I used to say he swallowed a medical encyclopedia whole. That realization is actually why I can't stand bosses anymore. And I haven't liked medicine since the day I was born.

P(usa).S(atirova).:
Mm-hmm.
Fine.
I'll be merciful.
But just this once.
I won't strangle you immediately.
Actually, let me rephrase that—I won't bother you anymore.
I'll wait until those meds I recommended actually kick in.
And then...

...until then...

...anyway, just like you always do...

...hang in there.

P(oanta).P(oslije).S(vega).:
Be happy.
At least now you have proof you possess a brain.

John Walker74 said:I think there’s such a thing as too many thoughts... just like there's such a thing as too many cookies.
I’d much rather have two sunny-side-up eggs, a strip of bacon, and a side of cucumber... than deal with some "Choco-Nut Bar" where all those ingredients are just mashed together into one mess.
...
Keep things simple. That way, you don't have to worry about getting the ratios wrong...
They’re just what they are... mysterious.
No recipe...

The procedure...

Two sunny-side up eggs...
That’s a bit thin...
My hair density usually sits around a 4 or 5...
Like scrambled eggs...
Nah, I'd take two over none any day...
So, we're going to need more bacon...

Look, even the simplest things—even a basic conversation like the one we just had—require some careful preparation. Not all ingredients are created equal. Some eggs aren't as fresh as others, bacon varies in quality, and you can't always rely on the heat being consistent. Plus, you have to cook everything on both sides. And most importantly (which you conveniently skipped by pretending this was easy)... you don't just throw everything into the pan at once. You heat the fat first, wait for the bacon to sizzle and brown, and then you add the eggs. Even making sunny-side up eggs takes a bit of skill. You can't just crack them perfectly every single time. Honestly, how many times have I tried to make sunny-side up eggs only to end up with scrambled...
I have to admit, I’ve been craving scrambled eggs way too much lately. May God forgive me and my egg obsession, but I just didn't know any better... And honestly, if I had been paying as much attention as you, I bet no two batches would ever turn out the same. You aren't actually telling me your sunny-side ups always look identical every single time? Maybe they just look that way from a distance...
It would be pretty tragic if every meal turned out exactly the same regardless of who was cooking. Even at mass-production plants, they can't quite nail that level of consistency... even the folks running the sugar refineries struggle with it...
Besides, experience shows there's no theory out there that can prove you can even compare an apple to a pear. They both have their own distinct character. On their own, they’re fine, but if you slice them up and toss them together in a bowl... you get much better results. Especially if you add a bit of sugar and a generous splash of rum...
I'm not going to get into the whole process of how we pick and sort the apples... It would take way too long. And honestly, it'd just be a lot of unnecessary detail...
Look, if you think this whole thing is easy, try throwing a potato in the oven. Nothing beats that simplicity... it's my favorite. But even then, don't get careless...
Whether you burn yourself pulling potatoes out of the oven depends on everything—the heat, how long they baked, the size and quality of the spuds, even how you grab them and how sensitive your fingers are... You have to be just as careful when you actually eat them, too. Your level of hunger, how much you’re craving it, how much time you have to sit down, the temperature of the room, even the heat of the bowl you served them in. Then there's the way you eat. Believe it or not, some people actually sit there using a knife and fork for roasted potatoes! Not to mention how long you chew, how fast you swallow, what your tongue is doing, or if you had an appetizer first...
It’s all about the variables... not whether you’re going to get burned, because you definitely will. It's really about how much hunger you actually satisfy, how badly you burn yourself, and how much nutrition you actually get out of those roasted potatoes...

Look, everything—and I mean everything—in this world comes down to the recipe, the quality of the ingredients, and most importantly, the skill of the chef...
Every cooked or baked thought, even if it’s completely wrong, serves a purpose...
After all, just like any other living thing...
If nothing else, just so they can serve as a bad example...
Just because you don't see a specific recipe or a set procedure in your spiritual cooking doesn't mean they aren't there.
You just don't think about them in those terms.
If you weren't applying them—even subconsciously—you wouldn't be able to whip up a simple bowl of chili.
Speaking of chili...

Uh, uh, uh...

Chili is basically a symbol of spiritual growth to me!
Not that magic stuff Gaudrath advertises, but the kind you make in your own kitchen. The way you prep it doesn't even matter, nor does the type of bean.
Since it's Friday, if I'm not mistaken. And for me, Friday isn't for shooting blanks, it's for chili. I'm not doing this to cheat some religion with my dried ribs, sausage, bacon, or maybe some pork in the mix; I'm doing it for hygiene, ecology, culture, and spiritual needs. Basically, I have two free days ahead of me, usually spent flushing out all the weekly work-life-existential nonsense and filling back up with what some call chemistry and others call spirituality. If the pressure gets too high, I can just lock myself in my room, attend to my spiritual-windy-gas needs, and ensure nobody else has to suffer for it.
It’s an old truth that nobody thinks their own crap smells bad.
Especially when it's spiritual.

P(repare).S(aturday).:
Between the powdered milk and the beans in the chili, I'm getting hungry just typing this. I'm heading out now to grab my exit pass and get home to that chili.
The spiritual emptying continues on Monday. If there's enough chili left—I mean, enough spiritual recharging this weekend.

Essence said:Rice again.
Nothing does more for the human mind than honest, hard work... just getting your hands dirty.
If someone had told me that sooner, I’d probably have my vineyard all weeded out by now.
With grapes to show for it, too.

Brown rice is the healthy way to go.
But your recipe sounds like you're just stripping the rice right out of the rice.
It helps, sure, but it isn't enough.
That's just a recipe for dough.

As anabelli mentioned, Gaudrath put it well, though no thought is ever wasted...
Real cookies aren't made from a single ingredient.
The ratio is what matters most, and that should depend entirely on whoever is eating them.
Actually, it's best if the person eating the cookie is the one mixing and baking it...

Jack Harris3 said:That’s what it’s for... to serve fools. 😂

Aha. So even fools have intelligence?
Where would they get it from...
What kind of intelligence serves a fool?
Are fools somehow smarter than the smart ones, since they know how to use it?
There are plenty more questions...

Jack Harris3!

That was a pathetic attempt at an insult. Honestly, you really let me down there.
You can't even land a hit on a toddler anymore!

Go eat some carrots.
Actually, carrots aren't for losers!
Carrots are for donkeys.
Losers get feed.

Anyway, what’s the point of having brains if not to act superior?
Given the market rate for intelligence these days, it’s hardly worth the investment...

Alexander Parker69 said:Since when did everyone start meddling in a two-way fight?🙂

Ref, this calls for penalties, fines, disqualifications... even...😠

My bad.
I was told to stay quiet about posting...

Besides, these rookies acting all spiritually superior... they needed a reality check.

Anyway, Alexander Parker69, hold your horses. Once these qualifiers wrap up, the two of us might be fighting for third place.

Jack Harris3:
Can I pay my fine in carrots and beer?

Ryan Wilson2 said:He equated spiritualists with donkeys—which automatically includes himself since that’s his definition—and then compared spirituality itself to a carrot. Honestly, you might be complimenting me by equating me directly with the very concept of "Spirituality."

Taking another look... I guess I'll take the point. After all, we're talking about spiritual arrogance here. 😁

Is it really a compliment if I say you're equal to the concept of "Spirituality" in the eyes of a... donkey?

Ryan Wilson2 said:I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that the fight is over...
🙂

Ryan Wilson2, I’m not exactly sold that this is over...

Since you’re the one being challenged here, and the guy doing the challenging already called himself a donkey... I guess that makes you the carrot...

Well, now...
I guess I’d rather be a donkey than a carrot. Probably because a goat has more in common with a donkey anyway...
By the way, it's more spiritual to move toward something than to just run away from something...
No matter how much you try to play the spiritual type, if you spend your life running from a donkey, you’re just going to end up in a pot... maybe at a local diner like Denny's...
Well, fine. At least that’s something out of it...
I'm not saying the challenger is up by one...
I have a different take on this...

Real spirituality isn't just some carrot dangled in front of people to lead them along... nor is it meant to end up sitting in someone else's vault...
Carrots are healthy, and they’re a vital part of the biological fabric. Now, the role of the donkey might be—just maybe—up in question thanks to all this tech progress. I’d say only "maybe," though... there have always been donkeys, and there always will be...
Pair a donkey with a carrot, and you aren't just looking at any old donkey. Now he’s got vision...
If carrots always managed to outrun the donkeys, the world would be run by nothing but ordinary donkeys...
Yeah, exactly...
Sure thing.
My point is simple: this world is being run by a bunch of absolute idiots...

Rules of conduct...
Spot the carrot...
Catch her while the gardener's asleep...
Grab her...
Rip them right out of the ground...
Give it a good scrub to get all that grime off...
Eating it fresh... just six bites...

Guidelines. Rules. Procedures...

Not all carrots are created equal. Some are better than others, honestly. These modern hybrids you see everywhere? They’re just bloated... mostly water and hype. It feels like the bigger the carrot, the more ridiculous the gardener becomes chasing it. You have to actually look at what you're buying. Don't just check the size or how old they are; consider the soil quality and the actual skill of the grower. Besides, you can always pick up more than one. Just make sure the garden doesn't end up picking you...
I can't believe people are actually buying this... It’s a joke. Total waste of money.
Gardeners are pretty ruthless. They love putting a price tag on every bit of sweat they pour into the dirt. Every season, they feel this need to grind away at something new, usually scribbling their little formulas down in notebooks. It’s mostly for themselves—to make sure they don't forget—but also just to show off their wits to the local idiots... When they finally pull a perfect carrot out of the ground, they just sit back and drift off into a satisfied daze...
I don't know... maybe just wait and see how it plays out first. No need to rush into anything...
It’s an easy way to hit your target. Of course, you could always take the hard road—trying to grow your own carrots from scratch. But not every season yields a harvest. And if you actually manage to become a master gardener, there’s a real risk you'll just end up becoming a carrot salesman...
I can't believe we're already at ad four...
If you can't even manage to grab a carrot on your own, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with instructions on how to grab one... so I'm not wasting my breath on that.
Trying to justify or explain why you pulled the carrots out of the ground is a waste of breath. Not worth it for anyone, let alone a gardener... The reason is pretty obvious to everyone.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around this... Just doesn't add up.
There are certain types of carrots that aren't grown in pure, untouched soil. You have to wash away the impurities—the ideological and religious layers—otherwise, you risk getting poisoned by them. Once upon a time, back when things were actually decent, you could snack on a carrot with the dirt still clinging to it. But as the world got more foolish and usable land started shrinking, we were forced to industrialize how we grow everything...
ad 6
There are plenty of ways to eat carrots, but you get the most nutrition if you just snack on them raw. You can make juices, concentrates, or even carrot cake, but all that processing strips away most of what makes them good. Those things are really just tools for marketing. Plenty of idiots have broken their necks chasing after carrot cake, never realizing they’d be just as well served by potato cake—they were just convinced the carrot was the goal. It's amazing what a good ad can do... I won't even get into the fate of those fools who ended up slaughtering one another, swearing to their very last breath that the cake they were running for was better than the one someone else was chasing.

***

At this point, there isn't much left to say... so I'm heading out to find a new carrot to chase.
Just my luck, I guess.

Honestly, it would be standard procedure to report your post for using ad hominem attacks.

But who am I even supposed to report it to?

The moderator?
Anderlone?

Doesn't matter. I'll just file it away in my own memory...
an elephantine one.

Blue Eyes said:Just trying to give a rough definition of what's considered normal and healthy based on social standards and "values." Basically, being normal and healthy is the exact opposite of how Rachel Gonzalez7 operates...

Completely normal.

Thanks, philosophy.

Blue Eyes said:How can you claim to know how it all started, or even decide what counts as the beginning?

In the beginning, there was Anderlone.

And he said—that is, Anderlone said:

Let there be a forum!

And there was a forum.

To get straight to the point, plenty of people were acting like they knew everything. Anderlone wasn't a fan of that...

So, he said—Anderlone said:
Let there be a flood!!

And there was a flood.

First one.
Then another.
Then a third, the biggest one yet.

So, some people argued:
Just reset everything to the way we wanted it. We made too many mistakes.
But then Anderlone ends up looking like the bad guy just because things aren't working anymore.

Not everyone showed up yesterday or the day before, though.
Some weren't here at the very start, but they've been around for a long time.

So they said, let's write like we used to, but with our memories intact.
We might not know everything, but we know what we're doing.

Anyway, spare me if you actually know Ispodlončić...

If that isn't enough for you, you'll get more.
Just like he did, back when it happened.
That is, Anderlone.

Blue Eyes said:The concept isn't universal...

How can you say that?

There's such a thing as a universal idiot.

Though, why shouldn't I, just this once, be talking about myself?

It would probably make things easier for everyone...

krshcanin said:And just like that, we’re born into this mess—a world built on nonsense, prejudice, envy, hatred, greed, and everything else that just isn't right. 🙂
😎

Pretty standard, really.

Solaris said:You've said quite a bit there. 😁

What exactly was that initial state, and what makes this current one "abnormal"? 😕

Can I jump in for a second?

Sure, I can.

I agree with him on one point.

The very first step.

It’s only natural for the beginning to be normal.
Healthy.

Otherwise, you're just rushing toward the end...

What comes after can go either way.
Healthy or sick.

The end is perfectly normal, really. Expected.
So, healthy.

Just because a sickness seems to speed up the end doesn't mean it isn't healthy.
Illness can be a healthy thing.

Healthily sick... Lala knows that.

And people being afraid of change? That's not exactly healthy.
Being healthily sick is possible. It actually happens.

Change itself is healthy.
Everything else is just a swamp.

And even swamps change, don't they?

Potala said:Dealing with level 2 isn't easy. It really isn't.😁 😉

As a moderator under the supervision of Ispodlončić, you probably know that better than anyone...

Audra said:If you’re asking about the rules laid out in the Quran regarding how to live, they’re perfectly sound. They bring good to those who actually follow them.

Audra, the guidelines in the Holy Quran benefit people when they apply them to themselves.

Trying to force any rule onto someone else is just wrong.

So, I really hope you know the difference between the penal code and spiritual guidance.
You have to distinguish the Holy Quran from Sharia—not to mention some arbitrary local law.
They aren't the same thing.
Regardless of how you interpret them.
We aren't talking about different takes on the same idea; we're talking about entirely different things.
The Holy Quran was a message for humanity.
A long time ago.
For the mindset, knowledge, and behavior of people back then.
Just like the Bible.

Plenty of messages in the Holy Quran are still relevant today.

Which means it isn't time for a New Book yet.

But it will come.

Once people finally grasp the Previous Books.

Not just the ones religions kill each other over...

But all the ones people actually live by.

And if—or when—people truly understand the Previous Books, they won't need an alien to descend and reveal anything.
They'll write the New Book themselves.

But before that happens, they'll live it.

All the Previous Books described life as it was and gave instructions on how to survive it.
So that those who practiced law acceptance could endure.

The New Book will describe life as it ought to be lived, while it is being lived.
So that all creatures—not just humans or divine beings—can truly exist.
Not just survive, but thrive.

Because the death of one being isn't an end.
It's a continuation in another.

Oh, right.
That doesn't even have to be a human.
And why would it have to be?

The New Book is being created.

And right now, humans are the ones writing it.

Humans, for the time being.

Just like they did with the Previous ones.
