For weight training he could carry sacks of spuds I think he is definitely sending the right message for health and the environment, |

Runner bean man, im kicking myself for not thinking of that |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
awesome! |

it's to distract people from him whithering away. "oh, you know, it's not old age, he just went vegan..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i am not a vegan. i am also not a bodybuilder. i have cereal for breakfast and then i eat a lot of chicken in a bag (tm). it is essentially grilled chicken; body builders eat that six times a day just like me and skip the lucky charms. they probably also don't drown it in teriyaki sass. anyways, i like tofu well enough, but the idea that millions of chickens have gone into my biceps is rather satisfying. need more souls |

i genuinely appreciate the attempt to relate to my reality, but i happened to be quoting soul calibur II on gamecube. i will slice you up with link |
||||||||

|
|
remember the first one soul blade on playstation, i played alot of that and soul calibur |
||||||||
|
|

i didn't have a playstation. once i almost mod chipped one for a friend though |

my brother mod chipped mine, it was the best thing ever, my parents didnt want me to buy one but i went out with my birthday money and got one, it was only worth doing because of the mod chip. it was that era when everyone suddenly had a cd burner and a stack of a 100 blanks early ones had dye rot |
||||||||
|

|
|
loool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's curious to see which CD-R brands have lasted and which has gone flakey. a lot of my compUSA era discs are totally fucked at this point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was the ubiquitous Chinese blanks, with sort of bronze/gold tops i think everyone of those i have the organic dye layer is unreadable, you can see physically holes in them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all CDs have a hole in them m8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more interesting (and also an xltronic thread, i think) is that some audiophile greybeards swear by origianl PS1 as their CD player A to D of choice. apparently it sounds best once it's warm and you're supposed to leave it on all the time |
||||||||

i wondered what they were for |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you'll never guess how they make the holes in donuts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fire rifle bullets through them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the immigrant lady working at the donut shop gets up at 4am and puts the holes in the donuts with her penis. |

dont tell me how they do the icing i dont want to know you know us europeans scoff at american overindulgent culture, but secretly we love it |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
they make the icing with butter and sugar. and chemtrails |

i know this is tangential but i was thinking about donald trump. How he is like an actual manifestation of the american subconscious, he is like a demon that has been summoned, i keep saying is this guy for real is he for real, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's as real as the emulsifiers that have a mcmuffin through your bowels faster than you can say johnny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in a way you cant get more american than him he is the pinnacle |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
this is democracy in action. the people have their say, morons that they are |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it actually scary and entertaining at the same time, he is like the abstract embodiment of it all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is the tail of the stupidity balrog whipping up from the depths as the beast's last hurrah. america will fight with its conscience in the depths for a decade and eventually pull its head out of its nazi-bestabben ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then again Hilary Clinton is like a creepy android, she cant even seem to make proper human facial expressions, she seems devoid of empathy, i can imagine trump crying sometimes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the stupidity balrog, the self flagellation instinct, i think alot of americans are subconsciously sadists because they are religious they seem to want to punish themselves |
||||||||

no, they're with it enough to realize they've been screwed out of something but too dumb to figure out what and how. fox news gets the lowest tier and alex jones gets the next up and so on. once you dig enough it turns into carl jung's red book. latent homosexual feelings in happily married men -- like, really actually happily married. and jesus said this is wrong. so why do i have these thoughts? it must be chemtrails and milk hormones in the water table! there are a lot of inherent conflicts in american doctrine and all the religious patriotic crap. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to find a few flagrant conflicts (our children matter, children at a bomb site in iraq don't) but then you're neck-deep in ugly realities that are a nasty counterpoint to the shining vision of america beaten into us all as children. at that point, some people turn right around; go ostrich. block it out and pretend it isn't there. the next tier assumes that america is as they imagine it, but under attack from... corporations. chemtrails. holiday christmas specials. the war on christmas. this is where most of america is currently stuck. after that is a pit of depression and a lot of soul-searching. as a democracy, we are all individually responsible, and fuck donald trump. when i talk with dug-in sorts i dig hard for things we can agree on: this place has its problems but i still don't want to live anywhere else. |

yes i liked america alot when i went there, the people were very friendly to me, what struck me was the strident nationalism, the massive flags literally everywhere it was a bit like triumph of the will, i was in florida so i cant assume everywhere is like that. Is it insecurity or do they honestly believe flag waving does some good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the people who blast flags around are universally blue-collar sorts. not necessarily broke; union guys do pretty well here. just uneducated, lower or middle-class, and insecure. all those flags are a psychic levee and those dudes are weathering hurricane katrina. their dads didn't have to face the existential questions they have to face and they don't have the right tools for the job, so they get drunk in a bar, beat up a fag, then cry as they jerk it to huge cocks on the internet. the internet is worse than chemtrails |
||||||||

flags are actually complicated. businesses are a special case. i'd never put a flag on my antenna (never mind patriotism; that's just tacky!) but if i ran a gas station or a car dealship you better believe i'd go gangbusters on the stars and stripes. flags everywhere. it's just good business. people who think a bit understand it's good business and ignore it; people who don't think just like the flags. |
||||||||

|
|
yeah before the internet if you look at the footage from 40s and 50s with all the new technology like fridges and stuff you can understand the nascent optimism. amazing stuff, i suppose its a bit of an identity crisis, i think Vietnam had alot to do with it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the largest flag i ever saw was on some car dealership it was on a flag pole about 200 foot high and it was the size of a football pitch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought about this in the shower and i thought hyperflake would have at least two replies by the time i got back to my laptop. at least some things can still be relied upon |

it is about denial, to a clinical level. to a schizophrenic level. imagine: you have this vision of america presented by grandma and fox news and it sounds pretty nice. it's also what you grew up with and why change now? especially given that reality is brutal and ugly and you have only yourself to blame. flags are like those fucking "emotive" advertisements you see nowadays: coca-cola ads that have nothing to do with coca-cola; just some warm 'n' fuzzy norman rockwell shit with 3D polar bears hugging. supposed to make you go "da'aw" and then you feel all warm and cuddly when you see coca-cola once you've been sufficiently conditioned. when i see people with flags everywhere, it feels like they're desperately trying to drown out external reality with patriotism. it makes them feel safe and secure and comfortable with their place in the world. but it's a vision of the 1950s and it's increasingly out of sync with reality... and typically, when introduced to reality, these sorts react with anger, fear, and range. like when mum told them they could go to plastic fun land but then aunt bettie died and not today dear... boom, tempter tantrum. except in an adult with a license to carry. |

i want to take a moment to express my contempt for the late thomas kinkade. he was called "the painter of light" but his real business was selling prescription downers to christian housewives. cloying, sacchrine style that waterboards the viewer in christmas cheer and wholesome vibes. "originals" painted by his "assisstants" commanded damien hirst tier sums even before he overdosed on painkillers and vodka. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes thats something that really shocked me was the amount of prescription drugs being advertised on tv, that was more fucked up than having guns |

this makes a nice counterpoint to all the jaded liberal biles i've been spilling here: pharma ads amuse the shit out of me. the ad will air and it's like: is your hypertensive ldl medium to moderately severe? then ask your doctor about lykaprexia. if you experience kidney failure, bloody stool, loss of vision, strange new body hair, or flanging, stop taking lykaprexia immediately and call an ambulance. certain people are allergic to lykaprexia; if you are, call an ambulance. lykaprexia is not for those with a receding hairline, a lazy eye, or diminished testicular fortitude. extended use of lykaprexia may result in liver failure; after six months on this dire shit your doctor may try to talk you down to something more sensible... five minutes later, a different ad airs. it is a template ad licensed by law firms around the country. HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE EXPERIENCED LIVER FAILURE OR OTHERWISE HARSH MELLOW ON LYKAPREXIA? YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A CASH SETTLEMENT. i don't think there's a person on earth who runs out to ask their doctor about lykaprexia, unless they're after that cash settlement. it baffles me that the accountants even sign off on them. it's patently absurd and it makes me giggle every time |

i think i could get my finances sorted off this. first, research. which major organs can i theoretically do without, and which heavily-promoted rXs nuke those organs? how do i fake the symtoms required to get the doctor to give me the drug? phase two, secure the stuff; down the whole bottle. phase three, call the TV lawyers. phase four, call the company that guarantees cash NOW if you have a cash settlement still tangled up in the courts. they say, even if you lose your suit, you don't have to pay back the money. phase five, open a gas station with lots of flags. some guy just bought it on tesla's autopilot; dinosaur juice is good business forever. right? right. |

Sorry I fell asleep, i'll read what you wrote then reply |

its quite absurd, they tell you to go out and pester your doctor, hey doc i think i need some pseudo-morphine or whatever, how did it get like this, when was the point it turned like this im pretty sure it wasnt always like this |
