Who Googles names these days?  That was so last year.  One needs to use a Tor browser and sink into the deep web where Google can't survive.  That's where the good sh*t is and the secrets are kept.  The vault of Atlantis.

Considering that you've put 15 years of ritual work into that, I actually feel really bad that I'm not more impressed.

[Pixie Dust]

I actually have never downloaded the Tor browser. I don't think it took me 15 years of computer stuff to find stuff. It was less than that and the means only arose due to need.

People are super nice to crying girls telling a sob story. Like, ridiculously nice.

[Le_Regard]

You go to torbrowser.org and you download it, and then you click on it.

Then you go to check.torbrowser.org to make sure it's working.  You're welcome.

But I don't need it... what use would it be to me?

I already haz my chest of treasurers.

Thanks anyway?

It's useful, because the next time your **** breaks you won't need to go find a man to fix it for you.

[Pixie Dust]

Please, everyone knows I don't ever do the work. I've never recapped anything, I have a huge ego, I'm so petty that I'm worse off than billy. It's more than clear I'm not ready to do my own work. And you expect me to be independent when I can just wave my vagina around like a magic wand to fix all my problems?

Fat chance.

[Le_Regard]

I once heard a mechanic tell another mechanic, "These days women want half the jobs and half the money.  What the hell for?  They already have all the ****."

[Le_Regard]

I mean...  it's cool with me if you feed on male attention, but finding replacements can't be easy and it has to be more efficient to keep some on staff for a while.  In HR you call that "retention".

[Pixie Dust]

Hahaha you think there's an HR! If I get by with my vagina, you ought to consider a sex change.  Obviously credentials aren't important.

[Le_Regard]

It is actually fairly obvious that the office is empty.  But I really must insist that "human resources" is an appropriate concept.

[Pixie Dust]

You're right, I agree. HR should be a thing.

I've really missed you

that is depressing.

[Pixie Dust]

It's actually super depressing. Like how I feel after my burger has the tomato slip out. It's just such a burden to undress the sandwich and put it back on.

This ordinary is


Rover.

[Pixie Dust]

Rofl. But wait, wait, tell me more. Tell me about blood, love, or pyramids again. You have such a capacity for story telling that you hypnotize me. Don't stop.

[Le_Regard]

These things are hard to get into out of context, and the market for visionary art is very broad and I'm probably not your target demographic anyway.

If there is a complex backstory involving blood, love, and pyramids, I would like to hear it. BUT I have to tell you, mirror-like honesty, what I mostly get out of this is unpleasant visions of conquistadors ransacking temples.

[Le_Regard]

Also for what it's the worth the fact that ANYTHING has been happening in roughly the same place for 15+ years is impressive enough I'm willing to overlook the finer details.

It's an exaggeration, but not by much, that there is a lineage here going back more or less to the birth of the internet. If it goes back further... well... hard to say. Forest/trees you know.

It's also probably worth mentioning that now if anyone replies to this, I have the APP set up in such a way that my TELEPHONE will vibrate in my pocket. If that's not amazing I'm not sure what is anymore.

[Le_Regard]

What would really be amazing is if the app didn't make me click every post individually to remove the "new post" notification flag even though the more intuitive method is to just click the first one and scroll down to read all the rest.

So no, we do not live in a perfect world, but the really core functions of a message board appear to be platform independent.

Perhaps amazing if the pocket is close enough to your crotch.  Good that it excites you.

Now do something for me

I'm sorry, you'll just have to buy your own vibrating telephone.

I'm surprised you don't have one already because it's 2018 and even third world countries are screaming on the twitter now, but ok.

It's still a luxury to have the latest iphone or whatever, but you can even get cheaper ones now for FREE when you sign a 2 year contract.

I think you still pay taxes on it but... ugh, taxes.  These are just facts about cellphones.  I could go on about how the towers work and how weird it is when satellites have to get involved but let's just leave it at they're affordable and they vibrate.

I used to live in this town back in 2003 . The mummy of Hor is an underworld in itself.

I find it a lot easier to believe in when you confine it to space and time like that.  You remind me of this guy, actually: http://www.crossroads.wild.net.au/bio.htm

I don't know if you're shopping for artistic role models at the present time but that guy seems to know his craft.  We exchanged some emails... a lot of years ago... and he's not a friend of mine or anything but I'll vouch for him.

Oh, hey!  It looks like I somehow own "dysfunctional relationships?" too.  I wasn't expecting that.
That is true for the section called new seers (not outside of it).

In general, we try to respect the intent of the thread wherever it is. And if nothing else we try to stay on topic .

I can respect that, but with the general caveat that sometimes the topic at hand is actual PEOPLE, not just a label on a filing cabinet, and sometimes talking to them AT ALL requires extraordinary measures, and also I see a "Forums" tab AND a "Discussions" tab on my screen for probably a good reason.  It's not a museum, you know?  You can't curate sorcery, it's too...  INTERSUBJECTIVE. 

Although I have actually met sorcerers whose day job was being a librarian before, and I know that's definitely a thing, so please trust me, because I don't usually go flying around knocking over bookshelves just for fun.
