Steven Squawking shared an album. 4/8 near Cabin 11

so, what's the weirdest thing YOU'VE received from these jerks? 'cause I'm pretty sure I win but hey, at least it's not alive like some of the other things I've heard about

the thing about people is that our kind are meant to adapt to everything
we're adapting and that's not a good sign. complacency? something like that. we're getting used to weird things happening because they're just that. weird. acceptable and weird and not a lot of people I know have had bad memories yet
...but you're right. everyone seems mostly stable. it makes me wonder what the snapping point's going to be

[notyourutopian]

Maybe that's a good thing though.
That we're adapting.
If things get worse we'll already be half-prepared for them?

[chiseler]

you think? I don't know. I don't know if I want to be comfortable enough with all of this
besides, what makes you think preparation will really help us?
not saying it won't, just curious

[notyourutopian]

Well, what's the alternative?
We can assume that things will keep getting worse and nothing we do will temper it.
Or we can think that what we do will matter, and try to prepare for it.

I'd rather do something and be positive about it than assume the worst as an excuse to do nothing.

[chiseler]

and while I'd normally agree with that, what if they really ARE watching us and they're anticipating us actually preparing for this kind of stuff and just make it worse? see, that's where I'm saying preparation might not help
we need to do something besides just preparing, I'm just stuck on "what."
the only idea I've had so far is planting cameras and stuff in their building to see what's really going on in there but that idea might not work
if you have any suggestions, be my guest.

[notyourutopian]

We can't start thinking like that, though, all it does is make paranoia even worse.
Do they know that we know that they know that we know that...
We'll drive ourselves mad.
Either we prepare, or we don't, for our own reasons, I think.

I don't know.
When I was there I couldn't get anywhere past the lobby.
I mean, cameras could be a good idea, unless they find them.
Or just change the feed somehow.

[chiseler]

we'll figure out something. paranoia does that to people, you know?
we'll prepare enough and we'll have to go from there. anything they throw at us probably won't kill us
they'd lose important test subjects
I don't know about changing the feed but it sounds like something they could probably get away with
who knows? maybe they'll take pity on us sooner or later. it's been months

[notyourutopian]

If they can install themselves on everything I own.
And make fruit dance and change all the horses.
Can we even speculate about what is beyond them?

Wouldn't that be nice?
I want to say I wish they'd give us a reprieve, but this month felt like that, almost.

We can't learn anything when they don't do anything.

[chiseler]

no. we can't. that's the worst part.
if this month was a reprieve you know that means next month is going to be when we see the real repercussions of whatever's going on. I'll try to be ready for that
make you a deal. whatever happens next month, we'll compare notes and go from there. deal?

[notyourutopian]

Yeah. I guess so.
Unless whatever is doing this already lost interest.

Deal.
I've actually been keeping a notebook.

[chiseler]

if only it were that easy, right?

a notebook's not bad though. 'beth and I have a conspiracy board in the bar.
I'll catch up with you later if I find anything else out

[notyourutopian]

Hopefully they can't change something if it's completely non-digital.

Yeah.
Good luck with your golf club.
