TET: Habemus Papam!

[The New California Republic]

Capulus vult! *Commences torture*

Eek!

I shall not surrender. For I keep my hope:


Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your coffee-free dreams be blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone --
The coffee will be gone!

Coffee seeks power entirely for its own sake. It is not interested in the good of others; it is interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. It is different from the drinks of the past in that it knows what it is doing. All the others, even those who resembled it, were cowards and hypocrites. Tea and soft drinks came very close to it in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free to drink as much as they liked. Coffee is not like that. It knows that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. Coffee does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; coffee makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand coffee.

And?

Well what do you mean? If it's a bad idea then you probably shouldn't do it, even if doing so is pleasurable to some extent.

Hope you don’t drive.
Or eat anything unhealthy ever.
Or go outside.

A few neurotransmitters, IIRC. But with that in mind, I still don't get why anyone would willingly choose to become intoxicated.

Doesn’t matter what they actually are. We perceive them as chemicals, and can do nothing to change that, nor to prove or disprove it. Yet such a thing is entirely useless, because they will remain the format through which we see the universe.
It’s like trying to prove empiricism. You can’t, but it’s entirely irrelevant.

[Samudera Darussalam]

Way to bring down a friend.

Huh? May you please explain what you mean by this?

You tried to drag him into an argument with NCR
Though knowing him, he may won't mind at all....

End of the day, life was a bad idea. We still do it.

Are you sure that you didn't mean to reply to Kowani, m8? He's the one who believes that intrinsic value doesn't exist, not me.

I just posted it because the convo reminded me a lot of that meme. It wasn't being used as an argument or anything.

Klaatu and his running mate Gort from the Day the Earth Stood Still. One has good polices, the other can fire lasers from their eye slot.

I hear he's very iron-willed.

There is a big boy out there which mainly is composed of iron. Get a mining operation going on that celestial body and we'll have more iron than we would know what to do with. It's a lot of iron, so to speak.

Although I do hear he has a rocky past.

That means nothing. These days you can get away with never having paid taxes, having fornicated with porn stars and trying to force foreign countries to investigate the children of your political rival, to name but a few shenanigans, and your loyal supporters will still eagerly state that you are the Second Coming.

There's that too. Maybe he's not as spaced out as I thought.

One of the mysteries of the Internet, because reality tends to be stranger than people actually want it to be.

My left ear is so congested I can at times hear my heart beating. Dafuq.

That sounds painful. I hope you feel better soon.

Equalize the pressure, put chewing gum in the right ear.

[Pax Nerdvana]

I think that would make for a sticky situation.

No, no, then your head will fall over. You need to shift pressure upwards. Stuff your left eye with cotton balls. Or ants.

Ever seen an ant trapped on a cotton ball? It's gruesome. Eventually all its limbs just fall off and it dies.
