it is slightly more credible because you get your money back if a project can't even reach it's already too low of a standard.

I am wondering the sheer influence of this forum. After typing the word "some" in statpedia, I stumbled across an interesting wikipedia article about SA.

My absolute favorite line was, "Since then, the website has helped to perpetuate various Internet phenomena,[1][2][3] and has been cited as an influence on Internet culture.[4]"

Me going on this forum... I feel it. Whatever that quote means, I feel it.

SHAME ON THIS FORUM! All the power in the world, yet it does not give more to perpetual betterment of society. So without further adieu... I present my scenario for a utopian society which I wrote several years ago: https://www.facebook.com/notes/divine-pharaoh/a-scenario-for-a-utopian-society/939453186184

I encourage feedback as always no matter how harsh of course!

i am worried that if i get hit by disintebeam, i will die. is this true?

absolutely not. in the battlegrounds of the main cyberterminal, when you're dazed, being hit by the disintebeam or hurtmore beam will only defeat you. there's no death in cyberspace. i will not allow it.

i am afraid that the cybermatrix might keep users in cyberspace if the console turns off or something bad happens. is this true?

no. when the console turns off, it only enters standby mode to prevent this from happening.

I don't understand what is so bad about manic... it seems like something that is nice to be in the moment, and then when I look at the qualities of what it takes to be a CEO in this world I honestly wonder what the symptoms actually mean...

If one could be manic all the time is it a disorder????

ian, buddy. it makes you positive and productive, but it prevents you from getting feedback from your mind when you're about to do something poo poo-stupid. people who aren't manic all the time maybe start to talk about how they've Crossed The Abyss and reached the point where the false duality of High and Low collapse into the Unity of Being and then go "wait, no, that sounds completely insane to normal people, i'd better not talk about the emanations of IAO, the archon set over this universe in the absence of our nameless creator-god, someone might think i'm crazy."

you lose perspective because you can't see your baseline anymore and everything seems like a good idea. sometimes this is advantageous, but by and large it isn't--sometimes you need to be a little nutty in order to make a cognitive leap other people can't, but once you've made that leap you have to do the work, which is not easy when everything sounds good. (unless you're important enough that you can offload the actual work on a sycophant, but)

you have to realize that the good feelings it provides are maybe an illusion. some people never even reach that point and just stay there, woefully unaware of their self-destructive love affair with the spinning lights and the colors and the lovely music. who knows, maybe it's legit for you. who knows, maybe it's legit for everybody and the people who try to treat it are the ones stuck in the illusion. nothing is true and everything is permitted. but you'll never know either way until you honestly try to examine it.

not that i mean to doom your exuberance, or anything.
it is kind of fun to watch.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
