> [@Broomstick](#): > > Right - because women are sexual vending machines. You follow the steps and they dispense sex. No, no, no. The male follows the steps and the female then allows the male to dispense sex to the female. It’s a kind of inverse-vending machine. ---

Again, “Purpose to represent for life…”, that’s just gibberish. Straight up, even you can’t parse it. (And it’s quoted exactly.) Maybe head back into that portal and fetch your gibberish to English dictionary. Or maybe just come back when you have more than a silly word salad to offer. You’re embarrassing yourself. We’re embarrassed for you. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Can you tell us more about this journey? Was it in a phone booth that looked smaller from outside it? Did you meet anyone in hell? If so, who did you meet? What did they say? How did you respond? Did you high-five Satan? Did you kick Hitler in the balls? Did they have pie? I will explain this to you only once. Hell is defined as the place or condition you do not want to be at. Imagine taking the greatest geniuses of the horror genre, mixing it with the most twisted minds in human history… all into one being; then multiply that times a trillion. That’s hell. I can actually add, I estimate, about 300,000 new words to the english language to describe hell, but even well defined, it would be like explaining the color red to a blind person by reading the dictionary to them. Some things I can analogize, but most of it - none of you know, it’s a whole world you can’t even fathom to comprehend. I’m just old now, mostly all I know is hell. There is no such thing as a badass in hell; such a creature doesn’t exist in the entire cosmos. Was there a meaning to it. Didn’t seem like it. But, that’s my life, for whatever that’s worth to you. ---

I don’t know where I picked this up, but maybe someone else has a cite: The likelihood that you will learn anything useful from a stranger who interrupts your day with the phrase “I’m going to educate you folks,” is inversely proportional to how long they proceed to chatter." I think it may be a corollary to the concept “If someone tries to sell you on a concept, by insisting on redefining existing basic terms that already have very strong meanings which are unrelated to what the said someone wants them to mean instead, it means they are either a shyster, or are delusional.” I got as far in the opening monologue, as where the OP proclaims that attracting women is all about destroying wealth, and gave up. Defining “wealth” as something to do with suicide was certainly a hint that what was to follow would be, to say the least, unusual, but I was willing to accept for the moment, a redefinition of at least ONE basic term, in order to give the overall concept as fair a hearing as I could. ---

Anyway, at this point I’m going to follow my own rule (developed with respect to a certain poster whose username started with L) and drop out of this thread. The rest of you might consider whether it would be kinder for you to do so also. ---

That’s the end of the thread for me. I won’t be back to look at replies. Translation seems to be an issue. I’ll just keep working at what I’m working at, then, if you want to understand me, you’ll have those tools. I have no more to do on message boards online… there’s no point.

> [@Forest\_Green](#): > > I can’t tell you that. I can only tell you that they exist. Don’t believe me. I’m trying to use them appropriately; they can be abused, severely abused. I went to hell for 400 billion years in a time dilated portal messing with this stuff; now I’m back. Almost anything you can possibly imagine, is the way existence works. I’ll tell you that much.
