sanity chicken would be a good band name

[parodeity]

all right fuck it
i was trying to avoid being That Crazy Person
but clearly everyone else is doing really well at sanity chicken
all edging around the topic or not bringing it up
or possibly it not being an issue for the majority though i am PRETTY fucking sure i can confirm it happening for at least like
nearly ten people maybe i dont know
so im just going to commit to my role as the crazy conspiracy theory guy
get me a whiteboard and some string you all
im ready to mark it up
wave goodbye sadly to my good name and all that
watch it circle the drain as i dump it in the toilet and watch it flush away
so anyway here we go

raise your fucking hand if youve had a very vivid hallucination of some sort
that felt super real
since you got this app
about a thing you definitely never remember yourself doing
also if youre going to go dave you sound like youve lost it
at least link me something entertaining off the internet to add some spice to what is sure to be a pretty common response
it isnt like yo remember when horses were a thing makes any of us sound any less ridiculous
so
admittedly i guess i could sound crazier
theres like a scale here
shit i should make a scale ill do that later
anyway

raise your hands or dont
go

[ ooc: i literally never care about theadjacking so feel free if you want ]

theres not really another way to find out though
if anyone on the thing has done the thing
like
im pretty fucking sure it actually doesnt matter what we say on here
solely because they clearly already HAVE all our info
so we may as well ignore that and use it to organize
i mean everyone can kind of do what they feel is safest but
personally id rather stop just pretending weird stuff isnt occurring

im ok
you?

[rhapsodeity]

im fairly positive that everyone on the thing will do the thing at some point in time
or possibly even done it by now
do you think whoever is doing this knows when we have these snapshotty thingies?
and of course crazy things are happening but you read the message they posted when the application launched, right?

im fine
but i was asking because you mentioned pain in one of your responses???

[parodeity]

i read it yeah
im not sure if they know when we have the shit
but considering how weird their building is
and how they literally are connected to at least the weirdass beads
and very probably the horse thing
id say theyre pretty fucking knee deep in shit babe
however i also believe they can access everything else we do probably
not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but
it seems likely?
so

oh yeah that
it wasnt anything i couldnt handle
just irritating tbh

[rhapsodeity]

i
agree with you, actually :\
its creepy but
"You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms."
what they said was remarkably creepy and pretty alarming
but i would like to think they dont have access to what we're.....
jeez, i do not even know!
recalling, perhaps
its a little nostalgic and very real feeling
too much so...

well, irritating is not good either!
although
do you not want me to keep pressing?

[ not that jade understands why he might feel that way or anything? lmao? ]

[parodeity]

[ look...look. there is a very real chance he can trigger someone else into remembering dying if he says anything about it and that is one thing he does not want to do.

alternately the more real concern is you know the part where she remembers killing him that would be a pretty crappy vday gift. ]

honestly the entire system is pretty alarming
and always has been
ill take what we can get for an organizational tool though
at the very least it gives us a cheatsheet on who the fuck knows shits going down
and a way to talk to those people
we might need to find a way to organize otherwise but like
shrugs
my plan is to not fuck around worrying about shit i cant do anything about
and do shit about the stuff i can
which currently is polling the populace to make sure were not the only insane people around
and trying to locate a pattern

its chill
i mean it wasnt precisely comfortable sitting in boiling water i just didnt you know
find that detail particularly pleasant to spread around
partly because i would have to admit to the entire soup story to start with
and that makes me sound lame
and also weird
im starting to think we should be careful about what we all say to one another
but like
how do you even predict random shit like this you know?

[rhapsodeity]

[ oh so NOW youre a man of action??? ]

well, arent you cool!!!!!
hmm, be careful, the guy who posted the internet safety guide might see this :o
although........ its weird that its only people in recolle on this app
and it IS a social media app, isnt it?
you could be playing right into their hands with this
is mister big shot action hero still ready to leap into action??? :p

well, it depends on what kind of randomness we're discussing
sporks or physics????
the concept of true randomness versus psudeorandomness, that is to say
do you believe that these flashes are entirely random?

[ don't worry she'll bust out the numbers soon???? ??? statistics??? ]

[parodeity]

[ well yes this isn't about Feelings ]

lmao yeah some of the adults on here are kind of after school special
re: recolle i noticed that a bit back
or rather
it was pointed out by a few people
no one outside the city seems to have it
like
that we know of?
and honestly i think at this point if we just stop using the damn thing
were playing into the hands of like
being stupid fucking idiots?
we cant just bury our heads in the sand and hope it stops
i tried that route and it wasnt working
which isnt to say other people cant keep doing that
but im going to try the new angle for a bit and see what happens ig
at the very least i feel less insane
so that goes in the pros list for doing this

no
i dont believe theyre entirely random
but i dont believe we understand the framework which makes them not random

[rhapsodeity]

well, i think their hearts are in the right place!
although their advice is preeeeeeeeetty outdated lol
you seem pretty determined about this
or maybe comfortable in your insanity, i suppose
either way
you will not be doing this on your own, ill be with you
babe!!!!!!!!! <3
dont fight me on this, by the way, if youre going to be putting yourself in potential danger, i want to help you
i am good at helping!

spoken like a real live scientist :)
theres a theory that says nothing in the world is entirely random in a deterministic universe because everything since the big bang has been decided
i suppose it is a supporter of "fate" in a way!
i think that retrospec and whoever is behind this is operating similarly to a deterministic universe
in the end, perhaps it was inevitable that we would use the app for this
you could probably think of the launch of the application as a big bang, too
i think that it being exclusive to people in town likely was intentional, at the absolute least

[parodeity]

jade when have i ever made you not join me on a thing ever
you can always help
not sure i know what the plan is beyond gather intel but
obviously whatever plan there is you can join up

whats the name of the theory
also
to parse that into casual teenspeak
youre saying this is all fate and were following some set guideline of what was always gonna happen because it was already like
decided it was gonna happen
because science

[parodeity]

[ oh wait. ]

<3

[rhapsodeity]

this is different from our usual thing, though
its hurting you
even if its.... not in this physical realm????
im trying to word this in "casual teenspeak"!

determinism!
which i suppose is more of a school of thought than anything, like many philosophical questions
if youre looking into it then i think youre more likely to get something easier to digest by looking into cause-and-effect, since that is the core of determinism...in a manner of speaking
at least, i know some people believe cause-and-effect to be a form of casual determinism, but i'm not sure i can agree with that considering determinisms state
cause-and-effect can be proven whereas i believe determinism may always be something philosophical in nature
the subject itself is incredibly interesting because there are several debates regarding it, however
there are discussions on whether or not there is a single determinate universe or many others, referred to as a multiverse
i find those in particular pretty interesting
the philosophy of science is pretty cool, huh??? :D

[parodeity]

its chill
like we should try to minimize the damage we do to people mentally here
but i dont think we can avoid random attacks
so we just have to be careful

im not sure how i feel about everything we do being predetermined
weird?
neutral maybe
i suppose i fall on the side of like
"this has very little to do with me"
is there a philosophical school of thought for that side of the debate
like the school of "whatever happens ig"
maybe i can get like a badge

[rhapsodeity]

yeah!
although careful may not be something you can easily say after a post like this, chumpass :p
i think for sure there is a pattern...
there is a cause
but i dont think we can avoid the cause
if we assume hot drinks caused us to hallucinate things related to heat, then even something as simple as eating dinner might cause it

lol
well, the opposite of determinism is indeterminism
speaking in terms of casual teenspeak i believe thats most easily said as "free will"
which i guess is kind of what youre asking for?

this is incredibly off topic!!!!
wow
philosophy isnt even what i am studying, oops
and to be honest, determinism is pretty easily demonstrated, but i guess the conversation was a lot more abstract than chess!
that said, i think that in many cases, the world is a combination of them
sort of like a balance
this isnt even relevant at this point, jeez, sorry

whatever!!!!
im in
im always in <3

[ jade? has a bias? obviously. ...also she's the one with the gun, so ]

[parodeity]

its less careful to pussyfoot around not figuring anything out because we dont take any risks at all
this was a calculated risk
the only downfall was people thinking i was insane
which i decided was worth it honestly
i dont think it was the drinks having read what a bunch of people on here said about their own first flashbacks or whatever the fuck these are

no i want a philosophy that is no philosophy
whats that

[parodeity]

[ WAIT, HE FORGOT AGAIN ]

<3

[rhapsodeity]

[ oh my god, the fact he keeps trying to match her heart for heart is adorable ]

no one actually thinks youre insane, you know
we may joke about it but i think we are all kind of scared about the prospect of being crazy ourselves
but i dont think this is a situation in which people may or may not be crazy, we are not living one flew over the cuckoos nest, i believe
what do you think caused it, then?

it is a philosophy
what makes it not a philosophy to you??

lol
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[parodeity]

i think that a lot of people got one unrelated whatever that day
i myself can pinpoint the origin of everything except the first stupid flashback

what
i want a non philosophy as one

<3

[ nailed it ]

[rhapsodeity]

i seeeeeeee....
sign
well, in that case, its possible we cant avoid some of them
it is already determined that we have to see these things
but i also know what you mean by pinpointing the origin of them, too

you want a non philosophy for a philosophy
that makes it a philosophy

[ she was going to continue with the hearts thing but she'll let him Rest for now ]

[parodeity]

no see
i eschew all philosophies including the non philosophy
i just do my own thing
free from all creedos
except maybe shit my ma says

[rhapsodeity]

thats called nihilism

[parodeity]

i reject nihilism

[rhapsodeity]

isnt that the core of nihilism?

[parodeity]

no because im rejecting it therefore i cant be doing it as i reject it

[rhapsodeity]

but maybe the true form of nihilism is to reject nihilism???
since nihilism is about reject all philosophies and ways of life....
why are we even talking about how much of a nihilist you are?????
youre a mamas boy who would probably sell me out for her chili

[ SHES TEASING ]

not really here

[voideity]

[ if daves at home roxy just poked her head into whatever room he is with a :D smile

GOOD JOB DAVE, YOU HEART THAT WOLF ]
