i remember way back when there was zombie threads on here and I'd be like "oh guys i got plans and i know what i'd do if this happened"
it was all a bit of a fun game but sadly some people thought i was serious
in the true event of a zombie apocalypse that was worldwide and destroyed civilization my girlfriend and i would swallow bottles of pills and then lay down in bed holding each other and crying until we passed out
hooray isn't it fun
i have to admit, i've made up a lot of no-survival plans

Everyone likes to think that in moments of unimaginable horror, they'd be that guy who somehow manages to keep it all together and act like a complete badass.
What STALKER has taught me is that if I were ever in a situation like that in real life, I'd either be drunk 24/7 or I'd be eating the barrel of a gun fairly quickly.
Has anyone else read the book The World Without Us, by Alan Weisman? It's pretty interesting, and it's all about what would actually happen to the world if the human race just vanished off the face of the earth.
i own it, it's actually a great read and really inspired me with writing fiction and working on RPG stuff.
Yeah, I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the decay of a house or what would happen to New York. So cool.
There are people in this world who can not separate ideas and imagination from fact. Really, we all have this problem to some degree. A few of us are so afflicted that "truth" becomes a matter what they expect or want to be the case, and not what is actually likely.
It's a lot like being a child and imagining coming up with your own stories to explain why the moon follows you in the car at night, or how the people in the tv fit in there.

Wouldn't that make you vulnerable to turning into a zombie?

see, this is the thing: my dad's kind of insane.
he's not a 9/11 truther, he's like their flipside: the kind of guy who believes every world government is barely functionally retarded and is doomed to choke to death on its own stupid and that we best be prepared for when that happens.
i guess it's just like a more arrogant mutation version of a conspiracy theorist. instead of believing that the New World Order and globalism is trying to overtake society, he believes that most of the people in power are stupid and will just fuck it all up eventually.
so my brother and i were raised learning how to fend for ourselves, avoid conflict, etc. because he seriously believed that by the time we were adults, the world was going to start eating itself.
i have a lot of knowledge that, on rational adult reflection, is fucked up and i pity my dad's apocalyptic views.

Given the amount of canned food at the house, or at the ranch, and potential for more, I'd rather just dig in and wait it out.
Fuck it. Run out of food and can't get anymore? Well, I guess I got a few calibers that would be more than adequate for taking care of my palate and brain.

I find myself hoping for some apocalyptic catastrophe to befall human civilization (that I survive) so that I actually have a chance of making a difference or being important instead of being doomed to a life of unremarkable mediocrity with the knowledge that there are a thousand thousand other shmucks out there on the planet Earth exactly like me with only the most minor of variations in the most superficial of details

I just take comfort in the fact that I'm pretty awesome and it allows me to overcome feelings of mediocrity.
i mean, i think my dad is a good man and stuff, and i don't think my brother and i were harmed by how he raised us, but there's a lot of stuff he did (teaching me at 10 years old how to make explosives, pipe bombs especially) that i never questioned as a kid but as an adult i think on it and say whoa, wait a minute.
i mean, a lot of this stuff isn't knowledge that's particularly special or unique. how to make a pipe bomb is just an internet away for most people.
but this is your father showing you how to do these things and getting you to make them and toss em off in a field so he knows you are ready.
there is a big ass bus owned by my next door neighbors that's all painted up with a bunch of 9/11 truther slogans and a link to some website. this is in canada

it's pretty fucked
Did you run out of your house at an early age, carrying your infant brother, only to barely escape a raging inferno with your life?
I don't want to alarm you, but you might be Dean Winchester.
Has your father mentioned hunting demons at any point?

You see, I don't want this to be true, I really truely don't. I'd rather there be a bunch of guys running around in caves that were lucky enough to knock down some buildings. I'd be totally happier if that were the case because then the threat isn't as great. I wish I could unlearn the things I've learned and go back to being an ignorant fuckstick like the many fine people here.
But seeing as how I'm not a child, and am able to process information to synthesize reality, the "lucky guys in caves" thing isn't holding water.

Some people are just ahead of their time.
Fuck you.
My dad's got some god damn mental illness and he needs help.
Don't you try to praise that fact. At best you can acknowledge the upsides of it but still furrow your brow at the fucked up parts.
People like you only contribute to that sort of self-important insanity and for that you can go fuck yourself, you suburb-living pissant white boy who doesn't know the god damn world outside of blogs.

well i am dashingly handsome and flippant towards authority figures.
but no
no my dad's big fear during the late 80's was that Canada was becoming so socialist that the US would see us cozying up to the USSR and invade us "for our own good"
of course the USSR fell apart and that never happened.
but my father still sees the US government as this mouth-foaming angry dog that is going to eventually maul everyone close to it
my favourite thing is people who say "Don't be sheep and listen to what the media tells you! Believe in X conspiracy theory instead. We question ourselves and don't listen to what THE MAN wants us to be told."
way to go, fuckstick
you've decided to think for yourself by believing contrarily to the majority?

That's unfortunate. I have a couple of friends who are kind of on the edge of the whole 'the US is a dictatorship that will someday invade Canada' conspiracy, but nothing to that level.
However I've just been watching Season One of Supernatural so I had to make the post.

Have you seen Little Miss Sunshine?
It's really good.
He plays a gay, suicidal, scholar of Marcel Proust.
oh, that's right, that's actually one of my favourite movie characters
he's probably just typecast then
I really loved the movie, and Carrell's character.
yeah, it's one of my favourites
apart from relating really well to the main character, i enjoy how one of the main characters dies halfway through the movie, but they still keep going
to me, that's a pretty great summary of how weird and awesome and shitty life can be all at once
i also like the complete rejection of beauty pageants
Pony I really do think he has a mental illness
He's not just a smug idiot
He really can't understand that his delusions are not reality
well he's a smug idiot, that is for sure
but i do think he's got like borderline personality disorder or something similar, not just because of the crazy anarchist stuff but also other things.
i feel sorry for my dad and i hope one day he gets help that doesn't come from the bottom of a whiskey bottle
