can i bribe you somehow?

then again, you could channel your suicidal impulses into a cult of the apocalypse, which is still harmful but not so terribly gory.

I knew a guy in Ohio that completely cut himself off from electronics. The only thing he has is an alarm clock/radio/cd player. No bike, no computer, no microwave, just his stereo. And he didn't do it for any religious/spiritual reasons. He just got tired of the over-convenience.

that's fucked up. who wants to listen to the radio these days? that shit's nasty.

but

no bike = no electronics?

wow. life has changed since i bought mine.

pbradley 07.09.2007 07:59 PM

Wow, did I say no bike? Fuck, I meant no car. He takes his bike everywhere.

And I think he just uses the radio for the news.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 07.09.2007 08:02 PM

that's not legit

!@#$%! 07.09.2007 08:07 PM

BRIBE YOU SO YOU DON'T KILL YOURSELF

i pay with hard currency.

Now that you mention it, it seems so sickening how we're so digitally driven. Social networking has pretty much become a cultural standard to participate (off the top of my head, I can think of only 2 people my age that don't have a facebook). Me, I work in the industry so it's impossible to cut myself off or limit myself without throwing away my current studies and freelancing.

No need to worry. Voice recognition will soon see the end of the mouse and keyboard and RSI will be a thing of the past.
Hi Nefeli. :)

Your office computer will be programmed to ONLY recognise your voice amongst all the others.
Isn't technology wonderful?

Savage Clone 07.10.2007 08:38 AM

I don't want to talk to my computer. It's bad enough talking to computers when I pay bills over the phone. Sometimes you don't feel like using your voice.

sarramkrop 07.10.2007 08:41 AM

It'd be great to be a robot, but not so great when you have been forced to be one.

when in doubt, I usually delete. myspace especially is very delete friendly.

I love the rush of sending something to it's doom (please, please, never elect me to be president. I will push the button to see what it's like).

but seriously burbuny, without your computer how would you continue knittinhg a net onn the internet ?


and who needs real people to talk to???? not me!

There's another way of looking at it: If you deposit all the garbage that has accumulated inside your brain on a bunch of strangers, those 'real' people will pick up all the benefits.

no 'real' person could handle the amount of garbage I can produce***. as soon as I get rid of it, more piles up.

'real' people are overrated.






***my minion is the exception. she handles my day-long tirades of faux rudeness like a champ. sadly, I'm losing my minion to higher learning in about month and not even a robot could replace her.
