Pedro's Corner

[Pedro I Rengel]

They both have a need for carefreeness. The difference is in the goals.

[Pedro I Rengel]

I sometimes think that science is an evolution of playing games. When playing games reveals a different power, consequences that transcend the game, that extend to the realm that is ostensibly ruled by those who frown on games. One reason it is so exciting. They only think the world belongs to them.

[Pedro I Rengel]

All those who play games are my soldiers.

[Pedro I Rengel]

All those who are boring are my enemy.

[Pedro I Rengel]

This war is eternal.

[Pedro I Rengel]

Even if we could destroy them we never would.

Because it makes it a lot more fun.

Sorry guys... Lol.

That seems accurate to me.
Play is certainly a prerequisite for science. Endless immersion in just trying out different ways the thing can go.

When playing games reveals a different power, consequences that transcend the game, that extend to the realm that is ostensibly ruled by those who frown on games.

Clergymen.
When they get sick of the dust (skin-slivers) that accumulate around them, the games they reach for won't lead to science though.

Wow I cannot think of a thing more wasting of my time.

[Pedro I Rengel]

I tried.

It's like what you were actually replying to is this:

its a dude talking about how you dont wanna get rid of all the people that you disagree with because thats just bad for the world to not have disagreement

[Pedro I Rengel]

Listen, I can't help you.

[Jakob]

Yeah once you sell your soul its like, gone.

We tried to help you Smears. We tried to warn you. No we did warn you.

[Jakob]

I didnt mean that.

Mercy

Mercy is a feature of the strong. The strong are insulted at the idea of spending destructive energy on lesser beings.

[Pedro I Rengel]

This, more than anything, manipulating this instinct, is how the socialists have made inroads into the strong, enough to tip the balance.

The gat, the trigger, still has to be a weakness in the infected. But those who would otherwise resist infection are very often taken thus.

[Pedro I Rengel]

Or, as John Wayne put it,

"I'd hate to look down the barrel of my gun at a coward."

[Pedro I Rengel]

"The Alamo" is probably one of the greatest studies of honor in modern times.

[Mr Reasonable]

I didnt mean that.

its fine

[Mr Reasonable]

"The Alamo" is probably one of the greatest studies of honor in modern times.

i went there when i was coming through El Paso a couple weeks ago, and when i got to it it was like a massive tourist trap across the street from a ripley's believe it or not. parking looked like hell so i didn't even get out of the car i just went on my way and got lunch a few stops down the highway.

[Pedro I Rengel]

Maybe you should read the history.

Or did you simply ask where the nearest Mexican command was to surrender to?

I mean the land was stolen from the Mexicans, no? Or did the Mexicans steal it from the Indians? Or are the Mexicans mostly Indian?

Damn, where is the self righteous answer here...

[Pedro I Rengel]

[Pedro I Rengel]

But you wouldn't know about that, you have no honor.

You may think I'm joking, but only a worthless piece of shit celebrates a man's death.
