no really, look! so many colours.

why are all the macaroons on google image search coloured in gay colours? i've never seen rainbow macaroons before but this is making me think that it's a Thing.

i thought he used the word "dangerously" as a code word to imply danger

what loser's sophistry is this? there was no 'just' about it!

also this was my 10,000th post.

your distinction is awful

because winning the war was hard -- nobody 'just' won it. it was v. difficult work. you're a loser because by your own admission you are on the loser's side. that makes you a loser. i made no claim that you made the claim *because* you're a loser, just that a loser was making it -- i.e. that it was ...

[you can sound very pompous in english with minimal use of greco-latinate words and using good germanic words in their stead, to wit: heretofores, henceforths, outwiths, notwithstandings, wherebyes, theretos, hereins, whithers, hithers, whences, thences, thuses, formers, latters and oftentimes whils...

v. revealing, thank you

uh i think it's like besame el culo

did anybody ever tell you you're a very fashionable person?

no, i *don't* have any idea what 'freedom from mind' might mean, i can infer no such thing, argument-via-pun is the worst argument, death is not a right, it is certain, here's a cock: 8====D

okay, so you're scared, but not blubbering about it, which is fine.

ean is the one who is saying that he's not scared, why, are you scared? what's to be scared about, civilisation is shit anyway everything is shit abloobloo i don't want to grow up

Yes, the freedom, freedom from a mind. You're right it's beyond exhausting; it's beyond everything. What freedom? The only place freedom exists is in minds -- rocks are not free! Tell me one thing which is free that is not a mind! And leave out the shit about the wonder of going beyond everything. ...

I'm not scared of "resting" forever (i.e. not existing anymore), because I won't be around to experience it. you mean you *won't* be scared of being dead because you won't be around to experience it -- you can still be afraid of annihilation right now, and precisely because you *are* around to cont...

so then you have nothing to disagree with me about, gr8 gr8

i *like* activity and labour. and if it's the freedom part you like, then dead people have none of that either. death is beyond exhausting -- it is what happens when you stop getting exhausted, everything you lived to build up gets burnt away and exhaust*ed* because the force working against the fir...

I see death as a rest mainly. Rest is good. If you're like one of my friends who abhors nothingness, then let that haunt you and don't get comfy believing it's a universal like ' but everybody likes sex '. you could see it as an afternoon cream tea with earl grey and mozart string quartets -- it do...

How so? Humans fear many things which aren't a problem, for instance my aunt was scared of my hamster. they also fear things which are problems. you're not a fucking buddha, you don't have to front. "don't fear death" is religious advice like "floss every day" and "be nice to horrible people" -- ad...
