And, of course, I'm "adding you to my foes list", as the system now describes the action of putting somebody on ignore. I know as many narcissists as I care to.

But, on the other hand, given certain circumstances mentioned elsewhere and your attitudes about them, I suddenly find that I don't give a rat's ass about your problems, any more.

TPBM is finally pulling out of the funk that they've been feeling lately No, no funk. Nothing of significance has happened, lately, so I've had no reason to feel better or worse, though the yearly event does remind me of how trapped I am by my current circumstances. I am, however, not depressed by ...

In case you guys were wondering, that must be a ceremonial sacrifice of some sort. Food is not always mass produced. You've heard of blood sausage? (biroldo, boudin noir, blutwurst, morcilla, black pudding ...) Slide piggy through a trough as you behead him, and I would think that waste material fr...

I haven't heard from her in a long while. I text her and call her but she won't answer me back. Uh, oh. Bad sign. I love my friend and I miss her a lot. There's nothing I can do. Maybe there is. Have any common friends? A visit in person, if practical, might help, especially if you bring the friend...

TPBM knows how to love deeply, give unconditionally and forgive while being thankful for the lesson. No. I doubt that there ever really was such a thing as love, and have long since learned the foolishness of giving to those who've shown no appreciation, even if I am supposed to pretend to believe ...

She has these major upswings and down swings. I've known her for some times now and I know she's BiPolar. She has all the characteristics. She's suicidal at times, and it scare me to death It should. Somebody said that far more people threaten suicide than actually go through with it. Globally true...

An old thread, yes, but I was surprised that nobody had posted that.

http://i51.tinypic.com/xdef0n.jpg Time to shrug and move on. As, indeed, it was. I've since closed down the Flickr Users group on Burning Man Chicago. The group still exists, and can be reactivated if anybody ever expresses a serious interest, but I seriously doubt that anybody ever will. In anothe...

I just read the article. Was it written by that minister who predicted the end of the world? I don't know. My knowledge of such things is quite limited, perhaps because when fundamentalists come to talk to me about whatever it is that those guys talk about, my eyes will glaze over, rolling upward a...

I would have, even without the smiley, though that was a nice touch. No, I wouldn't shred something that friendly, though I am a little confused by the thought of somebody being confused by directness and honesty.

You don't know what you're talking about.

With all the ticket madness, I keep forgetting it's troll season. And I keep forgetting that ePlayans consider any disagreement with the herd or those who lead the herd to be trolling. An interesting stance for those who attend a festival supposedly devoted to "radical self-expression" to be taking...

Additionally, the government is issuing permits for the event, and if it were that dangerous, I wouldn't think they would issue an event permit for 60,000 people. It could open them up to a huge lawsuit, I would think. JK Nope. Sovereign immunity. Suing the federal government and collecting damages...

http://i51.tinypic.com/xdef0n.jpg Well that sucks. Whom can I write an angry email to in order to point out that sillyness? Post-burn, of course.

And I'm out of here, at least as far as this conversation goes. When I find myself fighting an uphill battle just to get adults to act and think like ... people who aren't toddlers any more (note earlier comments about parallel play) ... where does this discussion have to go? But let me leave you wi...

Hopefully we can come up with some ways to tighten up the new user signup process so fewer bots can get through, and then sort out some ways to attack those that do at the account level.

Regardless of how hard or easy it is to do something, this is a do-acracy. In other words, your view is that the facts are beside the point. Do it yourself, or join the Borg and convince them to do it from the inside out. Case in point, and by the way, they hate being called "the Borg", I'm told. G...

accidental duplication of post

I disagree, I don't think you've addressed that point fairly. And what does that autobiographical detail have to do with anything else? You've said that someone else has resourced they could use to put your idea into reality, but it's also been mentioned in this very thread that the current existin...

How about instead of sitting in your chair, posting about what other people should do and organize, you go do and organize something yourself? Ooooh. Knee jerk reactions. I love those ever so much. They add so much to the conversation, especially when they're about points that have already been add...

If I were the LLC, I wouldn't (personally) be interested in splitting my efforts--and your idea about the BLM (if it's true) would only reinforce my disinterest. The BLM is not being unreasonable. 50,000 people is the population of a fair sized city. Doubling that would start to get one into major ...

Of course, there always is another alternative. Wasn't there somebody over on Tribe, talking about having people gather outside of Burning Man, out on the open Playa beyond the trash fence, just a few years ago? Then somebody else talking about having a "run for the border" (ie. people barging into ...

Yeah. I really get tired of all of that fucking profanity.

Thank you, Savannah.
