There are two different people named Alan Watts that I love very derply. Kind of random, honestly. This one is a groovy guru even though I don't really like gurus:

Odd Note:
"
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
’Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
’Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
"
― Ella Wheeler Wilcox

As far as that pole is concerned, there's really only one option anyone should be picking imo

Fawlty, we're all sick and tired of your armchair horseshit

 

[Mr. 4K]

Thread would've been five stars with my name suggestion and the poll being how many cabooses are too many?

 

[LMP]

Anyone else get three day weekends every week?

 

[Mr. 4K]

Anyone else get three day weekends every week?

I did for several months but I was also working 12 hour shifts. Meh.

The more cabooses the more lube, right?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Just a heads up I'm about to go on a bender

 

[Mr. 4K]

Nah. No need. She has the lube you need cause no one is pulling out.

 

[BarryDillon]

I've determined that free will is highly underutilized by most people.

The wheel is yours, sir

 

[BarryDillon]

Just a heads up I'm about to go on a bender

I expect posts updating your level of bent.

 

[Mr. 4K]

Just a heads up I'm about to get white girl wasted

Go stumble upon some worryingly young waifu on the dark web or whatever it is you do when you're not being a retard in here.

Already one step ahead bro

I think it's specifically a muslim thing with him

He seems to follow Sam Harris' lead on that issue but I don't think its the primary motivating factor. Like I said earlier I think he's being reflexively anti-SJW and accusations of racism are often seen as SJW talking points so he's going to resist them or try and play apologist for the other side anyway he can. And in his defense he wasn't saying that towelhead isn't bigoted, just that its not racist because its associated with religions(Islam, Sikhism) rather than a race. But at the same time I would counter by saying that those who use the term tend to imagine a certain race, either an Arab or a South Asian. So I think its both personally.

 

[Mr. 4K]

Currently watching Meth Storm. It's a HBO documentary. It's beautiful because I just learned that some meth heads get jacked up and go to church.

The more you know. It's a pretty good documentary.

 

[Mr. 4K]

This documentary is actually pretty fucked up and sad.
