    @DanO you've been such a joy to have on the site, but I've just don't want to normalize people linking to a few of the sites you've linked, in particular one that promotes racism and neo-nazi ideals.

    The other websites you've linked as your primary sources also rank extremely low in reputation.   I thought about what to do, because I don't want to cut you out, but I don't think it's right to tolerate this level of misinformation without some sort of warning in case someone comes across one of your posts out of context.  There are and have been a lot of people one this site who have a few screws loose (and I'm sure there are a number that think I do too), so I guess we can't fault you for that.

    So anyway, some good news!  I thought of a way so I don't have to ban you.  I'm going to give you a special title.  It is not personal. If someone else does something similar they'll get the same.  The other alternative is if you can provide your qualifications that prove you are actually qualified to advise on whether people should get vaccines or not, then we can also remove your title.

    I realize you may think this proves I'm the 5th generational warfare human influence operator you think I am.  But understand that coming from you, I have to take that as a compliment. That means you really care about me.  And given your beliefs, I can't believe that you've got a lot of friends that you interact much with.  So I kinda feel sorry for you.  But I also think if a doctor tells you to take your meds, you should. And I'm not banning you.

    I'm probably going to go back and remove the neo-nazi website you linked to, and take steps so you can't link to it again.  If this offends you, I do not care.  Posting on a internet forum is not a constitutional right, no matter what you think.

  2. In all honesty, I know this isn't a funny answer, but it's an answer that I feel is close to the truth, people are getting soft. By which I mean, the necessity to challenge ones self is being eroded from society. Tools that we looked forward to in the past as a means to help achieve goals in the future, are gradually mutating into tools in the present to avoid goals all together. You can blame who you want, but the issue extends beyond politics, and beyond nationality, it is a societal ill that is attacking a weaknesses unique to the human experience: the need to be correct or to be re-assured. In short, the internet is turning into a huge global problem. As the internet has become more than an augmentation for real life, and as it becomes a part of real life itself, you no longer need to be outside of your comfort zone. You can always find like minded people. Or you can always find an answer. As easy as taking out your phone. You are no longer bound by time or space. With this power, humans are forming the bad habit of finding more people to agree with them rather than engage in intercourse. With everyone choosing who they talk to, no one is talking to who they don't want to, echo chambers are propagating like cancer. From the lowliest subreddit to the front page of major media outlets. Furthermore, with access to so much information all the time, people are experiencing things at a reduced rate and therefor are having less experiences to learn from. And learning things at an accelerated rate, or assimilating information without experience to compare it against. Basically the difference between using a calculator or learning to solve by hand. For example, rather than reading a contentious book, I can simply read the sparknotes and cherry pick some passages to bolster my opinion. Or, I could go one step further, and simply parrot a popular opinion from someone else. Now I can go forth in the world and weigh in on the book, while never actually having read a single page. All I know is how I'm "supposed" to feel about the book, or at least how the people with whom I want to associate feel about it, and what they say about it. I might even find myself in heated arguments with people, based on strong opinions of a book neither of us has ever actually read. Because we aren't even arguing about the book. We are simply pitting our egos against each other. We just want to be right. And even if I lose the argument, I can go online and get someone to upvote, or like, or retweet, or some other tallied, measurable pat on the back that tells me I'm ok just the way I am and that no frightening growth opportunities are necessary at this time. This is politics in a nutshell today. You don't hear about an issue and then think about it over night before discussing it. You can hop right online and find support for your first knee jerk reaction and run with it. TLDR: Getting answers has become very easy, and now easy answers are killing considered opinions. Also, people need to read more books.

  3. Great, I thought this forum was free from pro-vax propaganda but I guess fucking not. Can't we leave politics out of this? Stop spreading the pharmaceutical companies lies and myths. You're all idiots for upvoting this, fuck all of you. I am alone in a sea of idiots. As the great Shakespeare said, "Oh Lord, what fools these mortals be"

    Not my fault you're too stupid to understand me. Or perhaps I am too intelligent for you? I wouldn't be surprised either way. I have an extremely high intelligence quotient and yet I am still extremely muscular and handsome. I am also religious as well so I'm pretty much superior to you in every way shape and form.

  4. I wouldn't like to think of myself as a mad scientist, but if given the resources I think I would be capable of making very morally ambiguous decisions.

    Imagine the resources freed up by a lack of inhabitants, ugh I imagine the possibilities sometimes.

    Scientific centers, organizations like NASA recieve such miniscule funding because of the mountain of issues we face as a species, and the mountains of resources we allocate to help slow down the end results of those issues. Imagine starting from scratch population wise, but with all of the knowledge we've gained from 21st century scientific progress.

    Things like this well never happen though. Things like population control, and other rarely conversed subjects are too morally subjective no matter the results according to most.

    Mad scientists have a record of producing results though, and for the most part leave morality at the doorstep in the process. I think I could do that to a degree as well. I would rather set in motion a plan that reduces our population by a significant percent rather than let this world continue on its current path where at this rate in the coming centuries people will be slashing each others throats for fresh water and food.

    I don't even remember what this post is about at this point, I don't know if i'm posting this on the picture of that dog with the cone or what, I just started typing after a topic got my gears churning.

  5. This is an information platform that serves people all over the world.

    Not taking things seriously is why things are going to hell in a hand basket. The folks out there that just bury their heads in the sand and rely on their elected officials to run the country are a major part of the problem.

    Just because the US "is the greatest democracy in the world" doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing your duty to regulate this democracy. People who disregard information that shows their leaders committing war crimes and violating international laws because "it makes them feel uncomfortable" are just as culpable as those who perpetrate those crimes.

    You are the regulator and final oversight to your government. This is what democracy is established upon.

    Cascadeclimbers.com is a tool. You can either post memes all day and discuss Kim Kardashians latest plastic surgery or you can use it to disseminate or collect information that is critical to keeping your democracy alive.

    When all the media has been turned into a propaganda machine designed to polarize and divide the masses a tool that gives direct access to the populace of your democracy becomes very serious.

    Don't be like the lazy fat ass Romans who stood by and watched their empire burn.

  6. I don't even know, can't count that high.  It doesn't matter though.  Just know what if there is a simple and reasonable explanation for things, that isn't it chief.  Just as the universe is decaying into chaos, so are the conspiracies multiplying.  Even us dark elite have those that work to subvert within our cadre, such as myself, a double-quadruple secret agent, moving in the dark passages, my hand on the controls that change the stock market and the earths CO2 levels and the outcome of elections and so much more.  Things are so crazy, you just wouldn't believe it.  I mean seriously. You wouldn't believe it. Sometimes I don't either.  Sometimes in the supermarket, or just walking down the street I have an argument with myself (very loudly) as to whether the voices are real.

  7. You know what? I'm not even going to hide it anymore. For every smartass like you there are 100 sheeple. Yes I am a paid shill, and I make more in one year than you will ever see in your pathetic lifetime. I made 50k yesterday attending a Clinton Foundation dinner which went towards my 6th Ferrari. I'd send you a picture of my team of butlers, but it won't matter after the TPP passes and I fire them all for cheap overseas labor!

    They were right, you know, about the nanomachines in the public water. How does it feel, knowing that I could wipe out you and your loser family with a single press of a button? Or maybe I'll just call in to your local FEMA headquarters and have you shipped off to a death camp?

    Or maybe I won't, it's so much fun watching loudmouths like you desperately run around like headless chickens while the sheeple ignore you. I bet your head would spin if you knew how much money I got for every word I say denouncing Bernie or Trump. It's a shame my contract with CTR and the Fed prevent me from telling you, so just imagine me driving off into the sunset in my Bugatti while you slave away at one of the corporations I have a controlling interest in.

  8. The anonymous will never manipulate you they're fighting for a truth because they had hardship and not only that they grow up to be extremely powerful that they actually even the Illuminati sees them as a threat yes these group of hikers are that powerful they can hack super military computers and get all the classified information out gotta look outside the box know that you're the media does not tell the truth the newer kids nowadays and 9:11 are brainwashed Iraq had nothing to do with that war it was the scandal up more money from Congress and their tanks and their bombs if they do not be sent out they lose money so they create an incident to make an excuse to blame another country to go to war I saw everything on 911 remember the fact they made a mistake that they blamed Israel for that problem and really quick to change their minds oh and let's not forget Building 7 was collapsing although it didn't collapse 15 minutes later behind the news reporter oh wait you didn't see that part of course not they cut it off so you may no longer view it of course the government's innocent don't be so naive but you know what the anonymous has always told you the truth the hole time

  9. Hi it is me sorry I have not posted sooner I have been very busy since I came home but I finally had time to eat my placenta today. When I researched it said it is best to eat it raw because cooking can make it lose some of the nutrients so first I cut the bigger veiny pieces off because it said you should not eat those and then I cut a little regular part off and tasted it like that but it tasted kind of strange it is hard to explain how it tastes it is a little like brain but not exactly it is more like liver that is the closest I can think to compare it and it is sort of salty and chewy. I did not want to cook it and lose the nutrients so I had some and then I made smoothies with strawberries and bananas and honey and that tasted much better and I read something that said you can make tacos with it so I saved a little for that because then I can put other stuff in it so it makes it taste a little better and I still have 1 smoothie left that I am going to save until later so I will have it with dinner tonight. I do not feel any different yet but it was the same when I ate the brain I did not feel different right away but then I felt like my body was stronger the next day and I think it will be the same with this so I will finish the placenta today and see how I feel tomorrow. Yesterday I had a treat and I pumped first so I had a glass of wine and smoked a cigar and my friend bought me shrimp tempura!!!!!!! It was SOOO GOOD!!!!!!! I have been wanting shrimp tempura for so long but I did not want to eat it when I was pregnant because they say shellfish is not good for the baby and I missed having a drink and smoking a cigar so I did it all yesterday and I pumped first to have food for the baby and then pumped more in the day to get all the bad stuff out of me my doctor said it is okay to drink a little sometimes but I should not breast feed for 24 hours after I do so I did it early yesterday so I would be fine by today I have not drank in so long I got drunk off 1 drink ha ha. I am still sore and tired because I have not been sleeping much since I came home but I am starting to feel better and it feels good to not have all that extra weight and I have to lose some but my doctor said to wait a few weeks and then when I feel all better I am going to start my dancing again and I hope it will help me lose weight but I know it will take time my friend said when she had her baby it took her like a year to lose the weight so I will try to be patient

  10. I know it's hard to believe someone when they say they're extremely super-intelligent and highly moral, but I am, and I gotta say, you'd be really surprised by what a long time of the wrong environment can do to someone, no matter how strong they are. It seems like this version of Batman has been at it for a couple decades, and has been withdrawn from social life basically the whole time. Even a moral genius like the Batman we know and love can end up with a fucked-up psychological complex if they're living like that.

    Like I said, it wasn't really about the idea that Superman might stop being a terrific person someday; that was Batman's psychological justification to himself, and it does make some sense - it's like the argument that we need to get rid of all the nukes, because even though M.A.D. might be preventing a lot of bloodspill, it could end everything one day. But you're right, Batman should be smart enough to see that even though it's a reasonable idea, it's not quite right in this case. What blinds him to it is that he's trying not to deal with how he himself has become an unstoppable force and it's just as dangerous with him as with Superman.

    A huge part of the movie was showing parallels between Batman and Superman in terms of invincibility, showing how even though Batman is a mortal man with "no superpowers," he still has the power to do what-the-fuck-ever he wants, all he needs is prep time. Alfred's wisdom can't stop him; Superman can't stop him; the combined human race perhaps couldn't stop him if they tried, which they never would anyway.

    But a strong difference between these two virtually unstoppable forces is that, unlike Superman, it seems Bruce Wayne actually has started to become corrupted. For all we know - and it seems like a reasonable assumption to me - he was the Batman we know and love when he started. He refused to kill, he always listened to Alfred's wisdom, he was probably very kind to people in little everyday-life interactions. Then came two decades or so of trauma after trauma after trauma, and seriously, never underestimate the psychological power of trauma. At some point, he couldn't keep it up. He stopped thinking the respect for every human life is more important than the fight against evil. He and Alfred probably butted heads on that point, so he decided Alfred wasn't such a perfect guide after all. He probably stopped caring about people's little everyday-life struggles; giving someone a friend to talk to seemed inconsequential compared to being out there secretly saving their lives.

    And when you change your whole philosophy bit-by-bit, butt heads with someone who was once your greatest mentor, do things you once thought you should never do, it creates a deep form of insecurity. You have to be right. You cannot have ended human lives over an emotional breakdown. Yet, at the same time, you can kind of feel that you have. You can kind of feel that your old self was right. But, if you're Bruce Wayne, whose entire identity was born from trauma causing change in personality, you're used to feeling like nothing is right, and repressing that insecure side of yourself, so it's really fucking hard to admit to yourself what's going on. Especially when you're so brilliantly competent that it's really hard to give anyone the impression that you're fucking up, let alone yourself.

    This contrast between him and Batman was all a fantasy to protect himself from that insecurity. The brain will grasp at any rationalization it can for things like this. Somehow, the concept occurred to him of this contrast between an unstoppable force with nothing to worry about and a simply very-powerful man with internal conflicts and personality, kept in check by the rest of the world, part of the natural balance that keeps things safe. This made it easier not to worry about the idea that he was becoming corrupted - worst case was yes, he was, and the world would shut him down for it if it got out of hand, because unlike Superman, he couldn't just go on a rampage and destroy everything if he wanted. He was just a really smart billionaire, not a god.

    But to really make this concept work as a rationalization, Superman has to actually be dangerous. It doesn't really feel the same to compare yourself to some god-character with near-perfect wisdom and judgment and use that as an excuse for why you don't need near-perfect wisdom and judgment yourself. The god you're comparing yourself to needs to be corruptible too.

    You starting to see how this all got out of hand, even though Batman is a very smart and moral person? I guess you might think being susceptible to this psychological complex means Batman is clearly not so moral and heroic, but really man, there could never be a real person who's immune to trauma. Batman deals with very insane shit. He sees people live and die by his action and inaction. He's seen people die gruesome, horrible, unimaginable deaths because someone broke out of Arkham who he could have just killed to begin with. Sometimes, if you're a heroic type of person, a strong enough type of person, you can see these sorts of things and suck it up, stay strong, keep moving - know these horrible things are what you're fighting against, and you can't be perfect, but you did what you could. But not all the time. Sometimes, they get to you. Sometimes, they wrench your heart out, because there's something about them that just connects to you personally. Maybe you're really scared of drowning. 5 people are shot because of your mistakes, and it's horrible every time, but you survive. Then a 6th person drowns, and you see it happen, and you imagine it's you, and you just can't handle that. You start to wish you had simply killed the villain. Bruce Wayne has probably had his heart wrenched out of him a thousand times by the start of this movie, and I don't mean that like you're texting your girlfriend about how you saw a puppy get yelled at and you're like "it wrenched my heart out," I'm talking about outright mental breakdowns where you question everything you've ever known and your psyche falls apart.

    It was a lot more realistic than you think, man. We're all lucky we can't fully relate to it
