The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVII

I once accidentally banned myself testing a banning plugin on my site (I copied my IP instead of the 'bad' one -- which was a proxy I was using to test it) but I was able to fix it by turning the modem off and then back on which presumably changed the IP. But this may not work with all ISPs. I dont know.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to wake up and accept reality. So.....

How do I force myself to accept a mediocre, meaningless, and most likely crappy, life?

Find a way to make it less mediocre, meaningless, and most likely crappy.
Or embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Seemed to work for Dahmer in prison.

Laugh at it's meaninglessness.

It isn't meaningless.
God created Arrakis Earth to train the faithful.

Camus told me to laugh at all the stuff that's messed up.

 

[Ajidica]

It isn't messed up, rather it is simple, concise, and orderly. Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife. It is complete because it ended here.
I mean, how is this LSD fueled nightmare from David Lynch's interesting take of Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece messed up?

(Please tell me that you have read Dune.)

 

[madviking]

Um, I read Doon, if that counts.

 

[Ajidica]

No, it doesn't count at all.
Read Dune and make the Spice flow.

EDIT: I just noticed how surreal my posts are getting. Note to self: Make sure to re-read my essay before handing it tomorrow morning.

 

[madviking]

jk I read the original.

But does no one realize that LMFAO are a parody group?

What if the whole royal family of a country is murdered?
There are no known descendants left.
Or if the family "extincts"?
Is then the monarchy abolished?

They find a very distant descendant. This happened to some extent after Queen Anne died, when the best candidate they could find was the Elector of Hanover in Germany. Apparently there's somebody in Belgium who's the heir of the Bourbon monarchy, but for obvious reasons doesn't make too much of a show about it.

Has anyone had any experience with cortisone shots for arthritis, especially in a knee (WHICH I DID NOT GET AN ARROW IN, AND IF YOU USE THAT MEME YOU WILL GET REPORTED)?

 

[Quackers]

Did you get a knee to your arrow? =O

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

No. I posted about my bad knee in rants and everyone started going on about this meme that comes from a game or something. Being an adventurer until getting an arrow in the knee.

Did an arrow to the knee cause this?

Besides that, what type of experience are you looking for? They can hurt a little bit and you can sometimes have a flare afterwards which increases the pain significantly which is resolved by icing the area.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well my arthritic knee is been really bad lately. Do they help?

 

[Synobun]

Well my arthritic knee is been really bad lately. Do they help?

It depends. Bad as in pain or bad as in swollen? The cortisone will help with the swelling, which may in turn help with the pain, but it isn't a direct reliever of pain. It takes a couple days to come into effect and it lasts for a few weeks before wearing out.
