patrick casey is an alleged NPC

reliable sources are reporting

I have heard him repeat certain tropes before in firesides... 🤔

@Salo Saloson Yes, I've been in graphic design for 35 years. I worked for newspapers for most of that time. They sent me out into the howling wilderness in 2014. Imagine my relief. So I'm retired and doing freelance. Living way, way out in the country.

I usually have one going on, ruminating away

I only touch art because I figure us filthy right wingers need it

my head never shuts up

and because the avant garde is how I got into art

@Koba EXCUSE ME

@Nemets I have a very, very strong internal monologue. It's one of my favorite things. It is supplemented by my almost obsessive reading. I've recently discovered Counter Currents. That is a beautiful place.

don't need a coordinator if there's nothing to coordinate yet

hey tide

👋

@Nemets honestly it's like another person in your head is talking to you, but it's you, holding a conversation, with yourself. uhm

lol

@Salo Saloson In 1987 I took Amtrak to Philadelphia to participate in the 100th birthday celebration of that arch conman Marcel Duchamp. I enjoyed myself immensely. I had an elderly uncle living there, and I took him along one day to see the Duchamp exhibit. He looked at it thoughtfully, and asked (like you would ask a question of a moron), "Do you have any friends who share your interest in this bullshit?" I agreed with him then, and I agree with him now. But it was a LOT of fun.

@Nemets well, it's not like I'm saying, "hey how are you?" I'm just talking about things... and there's usually another part of my brain controlling the music in the background

@Nemets Everybody has an internal monologue. Some people don't see it that way, but all it is is a debate with yourself about what is right and what is wrong. No one can escape that resposibility.

do you hear a voice when you read?

And I must admit that a lot of my internal monologue is about how I would do things different. I have many, many regrets. My brother has told me he feels the same way. Sometimes we sit around talking about all the shitty things we did. It's funny, but we seriously regret many things.

Assuming @Nemets is anything other than a hyper advanced AI capable of fooling even the most thorough of Turing tests.

if so we should be fearful

both

@Deleted User When I read I hear the voices of the characters and/or the narrator. It's a little jarring when the movie version comes out and it's different.

if I feel somethings off, It doesn't need to manifest in words really.

its like an overlay to general feeling?

I guess

I imagine it must be hard to grasp

@Deleted User Something in our lives is always "off" I think. Of course the present situation in the West is so "off" that only a complete idiot is unaffected.

7 hour >nap

gg

@OMGDwayne I think ones ability to recognise the offness is directly correlated with their happiness

>tfw voice chat is comfy but you have nothing to add

or maybe I have it wrong... It's kind of like the thing where the more intelligent people are the more likely to be depressed?

Come on fellas. Surely when you wander through life you have thoughts crowding in that must be categorized, judged, and either acted on or not. And there are those thoughts that are simply entertainment. I sometimes try to imagine what my illustrious ancestor, Archibald Burden, must have experienced when he came down the Great Wagon Road from Virginia to Georgia in 1787. With his wife and six children. And then in Georgia they had three more children in the howling wilderness. Were they happy? Were they proud of themselves. It's hard to glean from the old letters and occasional newspaper articles. They were super determined though, and they had plenty of work to keep them busy.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN lol

funny how people were just listening

Oh yeah my mind runs 100miles an hour. I am incapable of meditation. Modes are "frantic autism" and "sleep"

I learn alot with open ears😉
