Sure signs that you're going batshit insane

[Slaver123]

Oh women are FAR FROM BEING the life givers of the world. Seriously, we've just endured centuries of persecution by you men while continuing to spout out your heirs and future legacies AND have cleaned up every god damned mess you men have made in the world while enduring being raped, pillaged, dehumanized, demoralized, slaughtered, burned, stabbed, imprisoned, or otherwise treated like property for generations and denied the right to exert even a basic amount of control over what we want in our lives....but we're far from being the life blood this planet...(snort)...:rolleyes

Nearly every word of that is true, except you HAVEN'T cleaned up our mess yet.....

Men play our part too. We don't give birth (like male Seahorses) but we do our part to nurture life- and I'm not getting touchy-feely here.

Caveman Trog clubs a gazelle to death and drags the carcass home for kids to eat so they'll grow up to be strong Gazelle-clubbers or baby-makers someday. He teaches them to make fire and sharpen rocks into spearheads... etc etc etc And all that IS nurturing, life-giving

Real men don't rape, pillage, dehumanize, or blindly dominate their loved ones (OK, maybe we pillage here and there) A real man defends the cave, but doesn't beat the crap out of wife and kids (and he encourages her cave-painting hobby too!!!)

You know what drives me batshit insane? I pay for fucking cable television, and all the channels I like play the same shit over and over.

And here's another thing that's driven me batshit insane. I love Comedy Central. BUT. They played up this assinine roast of Joan Rivers (wasn't she famous for a few minutes about 70 years ago?) for two damn weeks, then when it finally came on and was over, I tuned in for my nightly does of Futurama, and they played it again, right after it was over!!! And they're gonna play it again tonight!

Insanity!!!!!

not having read this entire thread, but reading the chat going back and forth between nerrad and Hawk....how did it get on that subject to begin with???

 

[juggernaut]

It was between Purple and Hawk, not me.

It began with me seeing fundamental errors in the ideas of multiple dimensions and god existing. Sorry, but the universe is flat and finite. There is nothing observed in our universe that requires extra n-dimensional spaces or supernatural miracles. X Y Z space-time works just dandy. 🙂

With that said, I am fully willing to believe there is something beyond the standard model. I'm willing to accept supersymmetry (with reasonable proof, gauge coupling unification does not imply grand unification! Please, for the love of your god, don't make me dive into that :lol ), but not presented with string theory. What does that mean for people who don't give a shit? Well, absolutely nothing. You'd need to know what dark matter is. Dark matter is the hypothetical matter (called dark because there is no detectable radiation) that binds galaxies together. In a nutshell, our math on it's own didn't match up with the way galaxies move, rotate, and hold themselves together. Supersymmetry sums up dark matter nicely. Dark energy (hypothetical energy that explains the accelerated expansion of the universe) is still unexplained however.

This is driving me batshit insane....

My dog is scratching himself like crazy and I can't figure out why. He doesn't have fleas that I can see, and on a breed with no undercoat they're easy to see. The breed does have some skin issues from time to time, those "hot spots" some dogs get, but it doesn't seem to be that, either. I have medicine for him for that when it creeps up, but I don't see any hot spots.

Just gave him a bath, used the same anti-flea/tick stuff I've always used that has always worked. And he's still sitting there scratching. I'm gonna give another day or two, then take him to the vet and have them give him a once-over if he's still doing it.

I don't like dog behaviors I can't explain, it drives me nuts.

Random, low attention span-induced brain droppings are comedy to you? Interesting. :lol

I suppose the philosophical/scientific conversation was "off-topic", but nobody actually complained except QBBM. However, feel free to openly contend with any of my "viewpoints", I'm sure some of them would quality to you as "insane"..... :lol

 

[Dave2112]

Actually, if I remember correctly, the whole "debate" part of the thread started with someone mentioning that being "pre-aware" was kinda insane, then I mentioned my theories on time...then it took off. In a way, the whole thing was more or less on-topic as we discussed things that often do drive folks insane just thinking about them.

I never really thought anyone was all that upset about the direction in general. We had some fun, shared some thoughts, etc. Yeah, things got a bit heated for a couple posts there, but they always do when discussing things like this. More or less, people stayed within the boundaries of decorum, even if it was intense. I think we can handle that sort of thing on TT, we're a pretty mature bunch of folks who can agree to disagree. What a boring world it would be if we all agreed on everything, eh?

Now...here's something that makes me think I might be batshit insane. I was out stargazing tonight with just some high-powered binoculars, nothing too big...and wound up having a conversation with no one about how fascinated I was at the shit I was seeing. (BTW, Jupiter is very visible in the early night sky in our area right now, and you can see the largest moons even with binoculars. Just look at the brightest thing in the sky that isn't the moon or an airplane and you should see them at 9 o'clock and about 2 o'clock to either side of Jupiter.)

 

[Slaver123]

How can you tell when you're bat****insane???

When you post a personal ad online as a Male and hope for any response at all... ever...

 

[Slaver123]

More ways you can tell you've gone bat****insane.......



When you try to cook nice meals for close friends but they all turn out to be fussy prima-donnas and won't eat a single bite no matter how much that insults you....

When you find out that "just be yourself" is a total lie, and always has been but you can't possibly do otherwise....

When you live in New Jersey and still hope to meet the "love of your life" someday in a state full of mannequins and hallucinations instead of real 3-dimensional human beings...

When you join a website specifically about tickling but no one there ever wants to do it for real...

When you live to see "Kolchak the Night Stalker" cancelled TWICE in a lifetime....

I guess we're both batshit insane, I do that regularly. :lol Here's a question, how powerful were those high-powered binoculars? Could you see the dark spot on jupiter? I really love looking up at the stars, but lugging my telescope around is a pain.

For anybody interested in seeing another beauty (with a telescope or maybe even binoculars), you can see Saturn in the winter and spring usually. Saturn was especially visible for me during the beginning of January. Seeing Saturn, and some of it's moons strikes me with awe every single time. 🙂

This is a sign that the WORLD is going insane. However, to be fair, the second series really didn't count...

oddly enough, I liked the second series. Nothing like the original, but I thought it was a better show than Supernatural at the time (which is one of my favorites ever)

How do I know I've gone insane? When I berate my "other self" for posting such negativity earlier...

Oh, the binocs are nothing to big. Just your average field glasses...7X50 with about a 375ft. viewfield at 1000 yards. I couldn't even come close to seeing any features on Jupiter...just a larger bright spot, but the moons were clearly visible. For viewing any features on Jupiter, you do have to "drag out the telescope". Around 400 power should give you a decent view of Jupiter.

But, even with the field glasses, you can see some relly good shit. Just scanning the Milky Way with them shows a far more tightly-packed grouping than you can even see by looking up.

Nice to know that stargazing fascinates others too. And yes...Saturn is magnificent if you can get into winter viewing.

A while back, I was on a not-quite-deserted country road photographing comet Hale-Bopp at about 10 at night (with a 35mm camera and normal lens - wanted to get the scenery in too) when most rational people were in bed.

I remember watching Hale-Bopp back in California at sunrise every day for a week. It was the most beautiful sky object I had ever seen.

 

[Dave2112]

I got some decent pictures of that myself. I'll have to see if I can get them scanned and upload them.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

What is this?!? You're discussing stargazing while the world's going to hell in a handbasket? You're all batshit insane, I tell you!*













*And I secretly love you all for it.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I pretty much stayed inside most of yesterday, and it was freaking GORGEOUS outside. Thus, my computer is driving me batshit insane. Or at least contributing...

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

and I secretly love you all for it.

and we love you Rick...and we love you. (pats on shoulder)

(whispers to others)...we're not supposed to tell him we all hate his guts right?

^_~

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I HEARD THAT!!! No worries, though. I hate my gut, too.

Am I insane in just not giving a royal shit about my job at all anymore? I mean, i show up, and do stuff now and then, but they've made it nigh impossible to care at all about the work.
