Your pointless thoughts & observations

Youtube suggested for me a video made by a man with schizophrenia and it was very strange. It's basically similar to the 'targeted individuals' hysteria; his videos suggest that he's not insane, and that he can actually see worlds that we can't see, and suggest that schizophrenia is pretty much a myth and a conspiracy.

It really got me thinking about the whole echo chamber effect of cloistered communities on the internet. I think we'll be seeing the community of insane individuals using the internet grow rapidly over the coming years. It gives them a chance to feel validated about all of their beliefs/hallucinations.

At the end of the day, it's not that new or surprising. It's a common joke that we are all going insane because of our niche echo chambers, but I never before saw such a specific example of that effect taken to its logical extreme. All of the comments praise the channel rapturously for his bravery, intellect, and leadership for 'exposing the truth.'

If you want to see this, go to /sci/ and look for anyone using a tripcode pretty much

Most of them have schizophrenia.  There are countless schizophrenics who post bullshit "research" on viXra (a more open version of arXiv) and they all talk together.  They have their own lingo.  To be honest I find some schizoposts really compelling in a strange way.  I can't ever put my finger on it unless I'm reading it at the time I'm thinking about it.  But sometimes it gets out of hand

I don’t think I’m into this light roast third wave coffee trend. Gimme a medium dark roast. Also the best beans I ever bought were from Polcari’s in the North End of Boston and they just store their beans in giant jars and there’s no roast date or anything. $11 a pound, too. Take that, coffee snobs.

I want to set up a gym and fitness center called Sweatshop.

I'm a 37-Year-Old Dad of 2, and I'm Going to Rock a Bikini This Summer

i mean, he warned us...

just imagine the comeback of the greatest pervert asshole ever

that's it, end of the universe

I'm surprised in all my years here there's never been a coffee thread.  Many coffee related thread derailments mind you.  So yeah, I have noticed coffee shop coffee resembling acidic water on the are occasion I've bought one.  Is this the light roast trend I'm being subjected to?  It is a travesty, whatever it is.  I don't know how coffee joints manage to make such shitty coffee, so consistently, virtually everywhere.  

^Coffee is inherently kinda a bitter and odd taste so bad coffee just gets excused by people who don't know...that's what I always assumed. (I'm no coffee expert by any stretch of the imagination)

When someone does finally start a coffee thread it has to be titled WATCM, k? K. And no mentions of tea ITT either.

Nah, the light roast trend is mostly the high end snobby places. The more you pay for coffee, the weirder it gets. Not necessarily better. You might get some Ethiopian Yirgachaffee beans that taste like blueberry lemonade if you're into pour-overs, but i like it old school.

Maroon 5 are the head honchos of a Hollywood cannibalistic cult that worship at the altar of benevolent mind rape. 

^ only woke bros will get this.

all you need to get famous these days is a face tattoo.

If modern genetic engineering would make it possible to cross a jaguarundi with a house cat to create a new species of pet cats how would that affect neighbour relationships when the jaguarundi cat bites the regular house cat in the tail and the neighbour sees it and gets all mad

Wondering if eating really hot/spicy food is equivalent to people cutting themselves, inflicting self pain etc. As in, if it's the same principle behind both

Thought about the same not long ago and came to the conclusion that it can be the same but doesn't have to be the same for several reasons

like, having an intervention for someone that eats too much spicy food

I'm a little sick of all this online robot discrimination.  If I, as a robot, am clever enough to be surfing the net, I deserve to download the new _____ release, even if my ability to experience it at all is negligible.

The spiciest thing I’ve ever eaten was shrimp made with scotch bonnet pepper. It was a test of my resilience that I knew I would revisit, at least in part, the very next morning.

And by god, I did. It gave me some kind of endorphin rush, though(both times).

naw, it totally enhances some cuisine and not even in a masochistic way- its just one of the elements that cooks can work with.  In cultures where its common and people grew up with it present, people just go for the level of spicy they enjoy. like some people here reach for the habañero salsas (they can be amazing on seafood) but its nbd if you dont

consider: if if it werent culturally common to drink coffee, if you tried it as just a special occasion you might think its bitter af

what if there is a God, but No afterlife

AND what if his only super power was creating the conditions necessary for the universe to exist, and now he's just sitting there outside the physical realm just bored out of his skull.  Shiiiiiiit.
