Why aren't religious people more interested in cosmology?

    Dude.

    I hope you were laughing as hard typing this as I was reading it. That's a line that would be best uttered by Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago.

    Oh, you're sure, so you don't even really fucking know, and felt qualified to come running in to save his bacon...

    It was done to Eccentric, Maud Dib blabbed that.

    Save his bacon?? From what??

    He said he knows what you look like...you posted pics here years ago...what possible reason is there to think it's a different picture? And if it was, it wasn't seen here and he isn't posting it here...so what exactly am I "saving" him from...besides your delusional paranoia?

    Eccentric was not hacked. He gave a link to an account with pictures to Meka. "Somehow" that got out...and when it did people were able to see the entire photo album because it wasn't private.

    That is not hacking or cybercrime. :jayzus:

    Funny, Maud Dib said his ISP e-mail was hacked.

    So, he lied? Or, he got the story wrong?
    No one corrected him.

    I haven't read the whole thing but Meka mentions on page 2 that Eccentric left the photos on an easily accessible server. :shrug:

    You know shit like this...lots of rumors fly around, I doubt Muad lied on purpose.

    Footnote: Ironically, the dude who outed Eccentric over there got outed himself later on...with a picture of himself in a fast food uniform IIRC.

    Yeah, without knowing, you asserted the theory as rock hard fact, and thus you gave him a bullshit story to hide behind.
    We'll never know now.

    A TK link?
    I'll pass.
    Whole board is a malware.

    Besides, they were probably stuffing the real Meka into a barrel of formaldehyde, and tossing it onto a swamp while that shit was being written.

    Wait, I've ignored this thread until tonight only to just now find out Dicky was in here posting delusions that one could end up "in the Federal pokey" for finding a way to see his photos?

    Hell, man, do you even WANT to get rid of that "never leave's mom's basement" meme?

    Really, what would one do with photos of Diacanu? Do they steal his soul? Am in I trouble if I have a sound file of him saying "BIG BUCKIN' CHICKEN!!!"? :unsure:

    Hmm...

    So because you posted the pics of your audition to be a Geico caveman, obviously, somebody (John, specifically) haxxord your computer.

    Leave it to you to take Occam's Razor and use it to shave Rube Goldberg.

    Guess you missed the part where I've never said anything resembling the opposite of John's second sentence, and that no one could find evidence otherwise.

    But hey, whatever makes ya happy, right?
    Feed your prejudices.
    That's the only purpose this place seemingly serves anymore.

    The meme/narrative contans no literal truth, no true assessment of what I know about myself as a person, and I've yet to see it passed along by anyone I consider to have any sort of class, courage, or imagination.

    So, on what level is is supposed to bother me, exactly?

    And in what way would it be of any concern to you?

    Dude, you're like 35 and you live at home. Unless you're there because your parents need you, you're doing something wrong.
