Harrison Bergeron was required reading when I was in school, and should be for everyone, especially these days.

Or they just read forums like this.

This shit needs to die.

Thumb ball master race chuckles with amusement as they look down upon this post from Olympus.

I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.

I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.

It’s some strange inner calling and mysterious curiosity that draws you into.

I've personally found them to be useful after I've already gained the knowledge to make a significant change, and the trip can help to actualize the understanding of how that knowledge fits into the greater world as a whole. They should definitely be paired with vigorous and passionate pursuit of real world knowledge during the rest of your life, for the best effect, in my opinion.

Yea, work in and of itself is great. You have to do SOMETHING with your time every day, and doing something productive is extremely satisfying. Filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours with a 2 hour commute then going home to eat instant ramen in a noisy shoebox is slightly less satisfying.

Night Elves in Warcraft 3: Murderous xenophobic amazons.

Night Elves in World of Warcraft: Bubbly hippie chicks.

Using old vodka bottles for water.

Because the advent of computers allows for all kinds of creative new ways to massage numbers to "prove" something to people, even when it flies in the face of what is obviously happening in the real world.

They just need to figure out how to turn it into a massive advertising campaign, lock everyone in their houses and give them an opportunity to shitpost about how horrible their ideological opponents are, and nobody will question anything they tell you to put in your body to solve depression.

Then some massive org like the NSA creates/captures 51% of the nodes and takes everyone's money overnight.

My own advice is always to make sure you do it in a controlled environment where you can adjust the level of stimulation (lights, music, etc) at will, and make sure you have an experienced friend to take care of you.

I think I've used Amazon a grand total of twice in my life. Got a cheap knockoff of what I actually ordered both times.

From what I understand, psychedelics facilitate the connection of different areas of the brain which don't ordinarily speak to each other. This can be a profoundly spiritual experience, as it tends to be for me, but it will more or less FORCE you to deal with any issues you might have, which can be a terrifying experience for some people.

Eh... piracy wasn't theft even before this, because you're not taking it away from someone else.

Should have just said that it already has female dwarfs and refused to elaborate.

if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way

Literally just learn more about the world, not because you hate it and want to escape, but because you love it and want to know more about it. The cool thing about the real world is that it has an infinite depth, so no matter how far you go you will always have more to explore. As beings which inhabit only a small segment of the totality of what exists, you're never going to be capable of "escaping" to the "real world" the way that people talk about it, but that hardly means that you have to stay somewhere that you feel trapped.

I'm not certain that I possess the linguistic ability to adequately express the full magnitude of my feelings on this matter. Sharing my entire life with this wonderful, magical, creature who loves me back, is exactly what pushes my buttons. Nobody has to enforce that upon me.
