I Might Get An Aquarium

Aquariums are nice, but I prefer more privacy.

 

Yeah I still remember the sound. *shudder*

 

@wooleeheron

You’d sit maybe 4 in my big tank.
6 if you like a squeeze!

That’s pretty much a party!

 

It’s quick. Well done for that, providing it happens in one take!

Obliterate the brain as quick as possible.

(Which is why off with the head seemed unreasonable) and it’s messy!
Way more so than the tissue, but even then it’s blood and guts......

 

I can't stand to see a creature in pain, so I made sure it was over fast.

 

You have my respect for that.
(At first I thought you might be trying to provoke)

But I do see your logic.
Just not with vinyl!

 

That's what I'm afraid of, sorry, but most people bore me to tears. I became a linguist and studied for roughly 30 years, precisely because nobody was talking any sense. I even studied with a few Taoist masters, and they were always as thick as brick too and had little or no clue how to use language or how to make more sense out of life, other than contemplating their navels and attempting to become a better person. Eventually, my words started telling me what to write and, now, mother nature won't let me talk to anyone she doesn't approve of. She crashed six computers in a row on me once, just to prove a point.

The only reason I even bother to talk to people online is we are all part of the collective unconscious, and say things that have meanings we are not consciously aware of. You could say the collective unconscious uses our own words to communicate in ways the conscious mind cannot fathom.

 

I though it was a joke!
You know, clear glass and all.....
I’m sorry I misinterpreted you!

It’ll seat one quite comfortably, it is outside in a custom made fish house, you’d have a snake and some other fishes.....no human contact at all really.
There is a freezer if you like whiskey and ice cream.... running water, a heater....
I think you’d be fine.
I’ll feed you everyday!

 

It was a joke. My speciality is linguistic analysis of the Tao Te Ching, where everything can be considered simultaneously a meaningless joke, and profoundly moving. I come here to discover just such jokes.

 

What an awesome thread this has turned into.

 

30 years study is a serious commitment my friend. You’ve educated me in a small way too.
I had no idea what you studied even existed until moments ago! Or the concept of it.

Sort of like serious sarcasm.
(Bear in mind I am a layperson!)

I must edit this in.....
Your description of the Taoist contemplation is very funny but it took me a few moments.
Sometimes I am slow.

 

I disagree!

 

When I was five years old mother nature offered me enlightenment, I had no clue what that was at the time or who she was, and turned her down, insisting that I needed the words. Running around insisting love is all you need, is obviously not working people, and even at five years old it was obvious to me that language holds the key to creating a better world. It required a lifetime of studying physics, neurology, sociology, linguistics, and the Tao Te Ching just to name a few things, but I eventually started seriously assembling the puzzle, by merely searching for what's missing from this picture.

To tell the truth, I never expected to get anywhere, and had always hoped someone else would write the book, which is why mother nature insisted I write it. Its just a giant puzzle, and the computers are about to spit it all out in elaborate detail. I'd estimate over 10,000 pages worth of detail, and at least a thousand just to get a good idea of what it talks about. Thankfully, it can be translated into an interactive VR platform to make it easier to digest.

Even with all my studying and knowledge, there is no fucking way I could write this book without mother nature's help. Be careful what you ask for.

 

@wooleeheron

That’s pretty epic, a mighty tome indeed!
Even 1000 pages is a serious read.
Hopefully you get to choose the edit and not the publisher due to a cost/return business bull.
(A series on reef fish was stopped for this very reason, and like you, was the life work of an individual, nobody knows if it will reach completion 5 of 9 books only. Also another series that will not be published in anything other than German again for costing, which for me is no good, I can barely deal with English!)

@neonspectraltoast

With what do you disagree?

 

That this has turned into a really good thread.

 

The computers are spitting it out, its all mathematical, and the computers can translate the mathematics into any language you prefer. It so mathematical the US government has classified a few of our jokes as "Vital to the National Defense", while the Taoist masters have had to contend with the NSA and everyone putting spyware on the computers. Mother nature decides when anyone gets to appreciate her work, and this knowledge is only coming out now because it is time for the meek to inherit the earth. What Rainbow Warriors call Childhood's End.

 

Yeah maybe our conversation was a bit gruesome! I’d agree to that. Definitely not a great part at all. Death and killing, and all the regurgitated thoughts on the horrific ways you find out how not to kill a creature! Which you modify.....and still it is wrong.
Not nice memories.

But the point of view of the poster who does like it, may be elation due to the fact they did not kill, or are reasonably removed from the blame of the death of a pet fish.

 

I like everything about it, except woo spewing the same rhetoric he spews every day, every hour on the hour here. I've never witnessed someone more annoying or someone who likes to toot their own horn quite so much.

 

It's like he's trying to brainwash people through repetition.

 

i like woo's posts.
more than the description of fish killing.
that made me feel a bit sick, and i'm about to eat breakfast.
