00:01 BingoBoingo Not too bad
00:01 BingoBoingo WHo is your daddy and what does he do?
00:02 ppsk is there any reality where you can read that line and not automatically imagine it in an austrian accent
00:06 ppsk are there any other blogs worth reading, similar but not necessarily the same as Mircea's?

00:08 BingoBoingo That doesn't look like an answer to zee question
00:09 ppsk my daddy is dead
00:09 ppsk so he does nothing. Nothing at all, would be my guess.
00:11 BingoBoingo Acceptance is the answer. You don't *have* to be such a downer about things.

00:23 BingoBoingo Have you tried getting news from Qntra?
00:24 ppsk coincidentally, i just found qntra yesterday
00:25 ppsk Its strange, you all seem to be involved in rather significant events in the world, but you wouldn't know it from interacting with any easily accessible source of information, and certainly not from interacting with the redditard crowd
