We’re all in this for the long haul-and Joyce knows that. All she has to do is make sure we’re strapped in and not going anywhere else before the ride starts.

Well said, @mumumusings. And isn’t it fascinating that the appearance of The Resistance, and the BOS reach-out, also have the side-effect of serving that very same goal?

It’s enough to mak…[Read more]

@wanda102 They’re certainly not making it difficult for her, are they?

The most dangerous mistake one can make is assuming that those you’re opposed to share your world view and goals.

@joycecarlberg shaking in her boots? If she sees The Resistance as the substantive threat it wants to be, then sure, I suppose that read holds. But on the other hand, if she’s just trying to do her job – keeping people engaged with…[Read more]

TROLOLOLOLOL.

Hook.

Line.

Sinker.

Well played as always, @joycecarlberg.

“I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made.”

Agreed on the shadow @shankfx22 – he’s the WORST. 🙂

I completely get where you’re coming from with your read on the situation, and respect it totally. You’re following your gut (or heart or head; you know what I mean) which is the most important thing any of us can do, imo. Be present, listen to our internal compass, and follow where it leads.…[Read more]

@shankfx22

So @bryan would you say you indentify with the third group you propose?

I can’t speak for my shadow, @bryan — dude is going to be the death of me, probably literally — but as for me: yes, The Third Way it is. Given the interaction that spawned it, I consider it The @JoyceCarlberg Way.

Questionable practices that involve harm and p…[Read more]

@bruinbown @shankfx22 I do think there’s an argument to be made that a third way already exists.

It’s a path where the OSDM is neither celebrated nor vilified: just acknowledged as the entity behind an experiment that, despite ulterior motives or intent, is appealing to many of us for a host of reasons.

Granted, there’s little external…[Read more]

Good points, @shankfx22 and @thegilded. And there’s also the OSDM’s more basic goal: collecting emotional data on us.

They just collected a ton on @kasch and everybody else invested in The Resistance.

Seems like there’s an opportunity here to figure out where Jenna is staying, no? The British woman (which doesn’t quite sound like the Joyce I met, oddly enough) says that there’s a building in the town she’s in called the Pinewood (might be mishearing that) that’s 15 stories tall. Find the town, track down the only building in that town that has…[Read more]

In fact, I believe you will soon understand that finding just the right thing can take a little time.

Nothing like a sinister @joycecarlberg-ism to spice up a night!

I’m sorry if my posts offended you, @blondie. The reality is all any of us have right now are opinions of our own, because there are no absolute truths — and we’re all passionate. I hope we all feel free to express our strong opinions loudly, as long as we don’t personally attack others.

The point I was trying to get at was simple. If we ac…[Read more]

Really need to echo @wanda102 here and ask: Why are we acting like we hate the OSDM, or that it’s some nefarious demonic chef?

The postcard that announced this experience to the world said “OSDM presents The Lust Experience.” And what did we do? We came running. So let’s stop pretending that we hate what the OSDM does, or we have issues with the…[Read more]

“Very soon, you will experience first hand the reach that my people have.”

Sounds like The Resistance is running the OSDM playbook here, doesn’t it?

Be careful @kasch.

So let me get this straight: A group that claims to be all about exposing “truth” leaks some emails that cover a conflict we already knew existed, offer no transparency as to who their leader is, spirits away community members, and actually seem to be stringing things along to get people more invested – rather than taking any “bad guys” down.…[Read more]
