I Respect Your... (1/19/2024)
my responses (1/21/2024)
AlphaCentauriOrBust (1/20/2024)
basics aspire to be what they're not:
immortal, God, superhuman,
at any cost,
never mind the truth
TheRealKW (1/20/2024)
it takes one to know one, after all, everybody knows I'm the @sshole
DeSomSerPa (1/20/2024)
&teamnevergiveup, nevergivein, neversurrender
IamNoOnesBasic12 (1/20/2024) 'Words for your thoughts.'
apex predators eat prey 'when they find them' and prey are eaten 'when they are found' and...
this primer as to 'how the food web works' is for... '[my] thoughts'?
thank your elementary school teachers for your rudimentary grasp of 'nature'
and for peaking at elementary school, shame on your post-secondary teachers for a waste of a good education
ThornsWithoutPricks (1/20/2024)
there is the half of the formula that is 'listlessness' and
there is the half of the formula that is:
'reasons' that fuel the rise of dominators,
that fail to subject said dominators to proportionate consequences,
that instead, support said dominators
with everything to burn everything to the ground
for 'reasons' are as spiritless as 'listlessness'
SifIsLovingNorway (1/20/2024) 'God does not live in you'
as if lying, defrauding, and deceiving
to manifest riches, power, and influence
is
God living through basics who @sshole

sooo... you and God... spill the T...?
TheRealTommieH (1/20/2024) 'a place at the table'
it's a short drop, fall, and slope
from no-seat-at-the-table-for-you to autocrat-much?
Sneaker (1/20/2024) 'the one... we feed'
I appreciate this way of painting 'what is happening?!'
thank you
BenLewis (1/20/2024) 'Watch for'
might as well say ' watch for the being human'
HeraldOutOfUs (1/20/2024)
but 'the devil we know' is not quite 'what is happening', is it?
rather,
a terror of imagined evil is as driving a force as a commonplace fear of commonplace criminality,
such that the latter no more induces '[listlessness]' than the former
instead, both terror and fear drive action
in tandem with cultivated disaffection and disillusion, the former 'becomes' violently motivated
while the latter 'comes to believe' that inaction is a real answer to disengagement and nihilism
which is to say, in the end,
dumpster fires 'use' both action and inaction to architect 'what is happening'
SofiaTheFirst (1/20/2024)
'now choices' indeed
&hugs

PaulOnRye56 (1/20/2024)
imagine
not being a link in a chain that shackles
December 20th, 1860 to January 6th, 2021
imagine
not being an extremist
because one denounces one insurrection once
my, what imagination!
IsraelNoMoreNoLess (1/20/2024)
that you have chosen 'a sharp axe'
as your instrument for felling 'lies and deceit'
speaks to your embrace of justification
case in point:
is 'a sharp axe' swung against your 'lies and deceit'
courage before fear? or justification?
FrederickTheGreat (1/20/2024) 'the bill of regret'
'regret'? hah, an @sshole that feels repentant is a fiction
ACaptain (1/21/2024)
basic is as basic does is not 'ironic'
WatcherInTheWoods96 (1/21/2024) 'I dreamt last night and woke up crying.'
aw, you seem right beat up 'bout a figment
cain't say I'm surprised, tho
no sooner whiskey nightcaps n' perverse fixations
transform witchin' hours into hillbilly reveries than
six white horses'll be comin' for ya', praise hosanna
EdwardsJohnThirdFour (1/21/2024)
basic is as basic does is not 'curious'
LuthMyMart (1/21/2024)
sooo... blatherers are responsible for blathering and...
'[democracy flourishes and survives]' because... 'a universal truth' of blathering...?
or &pompousprattlers, &knownothings, and &wannabes are exceptions?
HanzelWithoutGretal (1/22/2024)
the arrogance of 'truth-believers' is believing
that being inoculated from lies, frauds, and deceits is believing:
'I believe, therefore it is so; it is so, therefore I believe'
as if God living through basics who @sshole is the truth
but the truth living through me, for example, is 'pure evil'
:smh: :wtf:
Everquest2394 (1/22/2024) 'miserable villagers'

FredIsGoingtoDoug (1/22/2024) 'if I dare forget'
never forgetting is also justification

IOnceWasMontyFromParis (1/22/2024)

ThunderFromTheAbove (1/22/2024)
really? 'The Oracle' said: 'I believe'?
everybody knows 'the wise' don't 'believe'; they know
not that I would know, right? :eyeroll:
reply to aboveby HoffelMuffel (1/22/2024)
'it's time' - ? it's '[all fantasy]' - ?
geez... how long have we been riding the hyperbole train,
because debarking is literally fine
TheCastle (1/22/2024)
thank you
honesty and sincerity are always welcome here
NoNiedforNameCalling (1/22/2024)
what the what?
'if you stare' - 'it will stare' - ?
reality isn't a penny dreadful and in the real world, 'the abyss' neither '[stares]' nor '[enthralls]'
MagicMountain (1/22/2024)
oh my sweet sanity, somebody else is seeing wtf I'm seeing:
what. is. seriously. wrong. with. people.

hard pass: using a chatbot to populate a comment to elicit my response
Stand in My Way (2/1/2024)
my responses (2/13/2024)
HeimdallAvatar (2/13/2024) 'in this moment forever... I stand'
in this moment forever,
we stand
I love you dear, I love you there, I love you here, I love you where
love blooms in song
reply to above by TheRealKW (2/13/2024) 'We all hate... you.'
this... is a compliment...?
AlphaCentauriOrBust (2/13/2024) 'I know, you know, we know'
indeed, narrators of fake reality are neither champions nor saviors
ACaptain (2/13/2024) 'lines... are... dust'
it is easy to say what one does not really live
case in point: evangelism
it is hard to believe what is true
case in point: the truth living through me
AltVikingen (2/13/2024) 'havets og jordens sang'
such song fra nu til for evigt is beautiful
Sneaker (2/13/2024) 'using stupid lines to justify your lack of passion for anything that is not you'
stupid lines have become justification
for an unbelievable sum of actions and inactions
ThornsWithoutPricks (2/13/2024) 'so you can stick your head in [the lines in sand] and pretend'
indeed, there is a distinction between
(a) action that creates action and (b) action that is reacted to
such that too often, (b) is confused with (a)
case in point: a speech and a rally that insurrects is (a) and
justice for engaging and aiding and comforting such insurrection is (b)
NewestAgeProphet10 (2/13/2024) 'stuck with... reality'
zealous 'line erasers' are also zealous 'line drawers'
for such zealots, there is no reality that '[one finds oneself stuck with]'
reality is the story one tells oneself
TimelessEverClear (2/13/2024)
:sigh: yes
I see what you did there for fond you are of
not budging a single toe
LaraForNumberTwoinFourTwenty (2/13/2024) 'Isn't the real problem here'
excuse you?
I be done seen about everything
but a scarecrow be perspicacious
see "When I See an Elephant Fly" (Dumbo (Disney))
reply to above by BenLewis (2/13/2024) 'you are way the !@#$ off'
alas, it is not a tragedy to be way the !@#$ off
it is a tragedy to believe a scarecrow with bran for brains
HopelessEternityForAll (2/13/2024) 'help us make [cultures positive ones]'
such ask is a hard pass
for humans who aspire to self-serve for coin
such ask is a no-brainer
for humans who aspire to more than basic
SofiaTheFirst (2/13/2024)
the joys and the sorrows are fleeting ephemera;
hope and love are eternal flames
reply to above by TheRealKW (2/13/2024)
as if tubthumping isn't a pastime of yours
pissing away infinitudes

my responses (2/17/2024)
BenLewis (2/17/2024)
in the land of 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander' -
the streets are two-way streets
in the land of 'the naked emperor' -
the streets and their ways are subject to the grip of 'the naked emperor'
UnpopularOpinionsIsMyJam (2/17/2024)
sure, notwithstanding,
the unbearable lightness of the weight of words uttered sans substance,
no?
AntAteManManAteAnt (2/17/2024)
if only pacific agreements of mutual coexistence were possible between kinds in conflict

SifIsLovingNorway (2/17/2024)
when lines in the sand and hills to die on are what's 'real' and what's 'true',
when contempt of truth is more 'decent' than honesty and humility,
who's left holding the bag?
NewYearBaby12 (2/17/2024)

Deny Me My Story (tvfs, unpublished)
PoorThings (2/17/2024)
there are 'truths'
that are 'manipulatives' in the hands of manipulators and there are 'truths'
that are not,
:shrug:

MediumofTheGypsy (2/17/2024)
the distinctions between the truth and facts are too often employed as
bludgeons to silence disobedience as
heresy
that's not how I roll
Manungal (2/17/2024) 'sa han ikke: "Dette er håpløst... jeg skal få mitt."'
real people turn away those who need as
those who grift
and embrace those who grift as
those who need
because the Bifrost is not a 'must guard' for real people;
that is theirs
reply to above by TheRealKW (2/17/2024)
are you telling yourself... a myth of the all-father... made miserable... ?
what is it about those of wealth and power who tell themselves... stories
that self-serve and self-indulge in... victimhood fantasies
reply to above by OneHandisBetterThanNone (2/18/2024)
never tiring of the stories they tell themselves... myths
keep warm at night
the powerful and the powerless
What It All Means (2/18/2024)
my responses (2/28/2024)
ACaptain (2/25/2024) 'reconnect with an inner integrity'
being isn't 'a thing' that people can 'see'
no more than it can be 'seen through', as you assert
nevertheless,
it is not surprising that a person whose 'trade' is pretending 'to believably be'
believes being can be 'seen through'
after all, being is transactional for all who are 'merely actors'
BoomTheTurtle (2/25/2024)
or a prison of one's choosing is one's free will manifested
per so many people for whom figurative prisons promise 'life to the fullest'
FrederickTheGreat(2/25/2024) 'you can come back from that'
true
SumSumEqualNone (2/25/2024) 'How'
people who die on hills
confuse conviction that fuels stories they tell themselves
with standing for what's worth saving
'this place and time' wasn't 'come to'
it's been here as long as lines in the sand have been drawn
SofiaTheFirst (2/25/2024)
it's not up to me how my stories and ideas and words, live :sigh:

TrippingTheStars (3/2/2024)
somewhere,
you pitched logic off the life raft like rational reasoning was poisoned fruit instead of
that which structured life rafts to life save
nevertheless:
'a society' that is ostensibly 'all evil' does not exist
except as a fearsome fable of justification
to name good evil and evil good
reply to above TheRealKW (3/2/2024) 'if... it pays off'
don't all who name good evil and evil good
do it to float on unearned currency?
TheFlood32971 (3/2/2024) 'flush the bad... out to... nothingness'
'society [is] flooded with bad ideas and people'? yikes
from your and their place to stand, you and each who oppose you,
would move the world with the same lever
BenLewis (3/2/2024) 'to elect a [parrot-clown]'
not a 'parrot-clown', a mercenary,
an instrument of unearned currency

Dear Reader, A Word (4/20/2024)
my responses (4/21/2024)
Sneaker (4/21/2024) 'this is such a small start, an easy, low stake start'
the easiest, lowest stake start is simply: to not believe
unreliable narrators
who would every believer believe dishonesty calling itself 'honesty'
BenLewis (4/21/2024)

ThornsWithoutPricks (4/21/2024) 'a real contest'

no human life would survive... 'a real contest'?
and if I understand your (history) lesson,
for every human life... spared - a bull is... sacrificed?

IPonderYouRespond (4/21/2024)
I imagine you believe oneself-superiority is totally reasonable
because oneself-delusion is 'obviously' not a cognitive impairment like 'mental illness'
AlphaCentauriOrBust (4/21/2024) 'these people you falsely worship and wish to be'
false idol worshippers don't care that false idol worship harms;
no more than 'the hungry' who feast on sacrifices care
AGirlFromTheWoodsOfAlps (4/21/2024)
seriously? - enjoy your laurels - spectacles, after all, are work
and it is not surprising in the least
when private paradises are 'chosen' by 'the grand' and 'the valuable'

I suspect, having lived as he has lived, he knows
people follow the devil
wearing no guise but dishonesty calling itself 'honesty'
FrederichTheGreat (4/21/2024) 'Tell your boy to keep chugging, he deserves more'
of course 'chugging' is how little engines become main characters
if you're a self-righteous try-hard who decides
the plot for main characters
but that's an undeserved... promotion for a prick, isn't it?

On Immunity and Pardons
The way immunity works is this:
everyone is subject to the law but the immune; the immune are above the law.
The way pardons work is this:
everyone is subject to the law but the pardoned; the pardoned are above the law.
*
In other words, there's the real world where real people live and there's the make believe world where @ssholes play at being God. Such make believe world is where you and I are supposed to do and think and say and believe not according to our... everything but according to trust, that is, according to faith without qualification, that
@ssholes are saviors who are due immunity and pardons for being @ssholes.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding as comments and responses are posted to this blog and this page.
