Willing to be a guinea pig

[IgetwhatIwant]

If anyone is doing or plans on doing any experiments or anything and needs volunteers/partners/subjects, I would be a willing guinea pig.


However, I reserve the right to refuse if your experiments seem too dangerous or weird.

That's an interesting handle you have there. I'm just wondering if there is a story behind that name.

Or maybe a story from your past about someone claiming to be a time traveler?

 

[IgetwhatIwant]

aww. I saw I had a reply to this post and thought someone was going to say they had an experiment going.


No big story. Just an inside joke I have with a friend.

And sadly, no, to the second question.

 

[Syzygy]

Greetings to both of you.

IgetwhatIwant, is that a time machine in your avatar?

"Sadly," you have no story to share from your past? Or,
do you more regret lacking time travelers within your
acquaintance than their failure to be more forthcoming
with details of their journeys?

Were it either of the last two instances, I might soon find
time whereby to humor your handle. Then, should the
former cause you lamentation, you might anticipate a time
slip a chronoclasm, and evade a time loop altogether...
hmm,
it is for one time loop's being culturally confusing, even to
me, that I am reluctant to attempt an account of anything so
ambiguously enthralling.

Oh, we just plan to send you through a wormhole at the center of a black hole so that we can discover if time travel is possible. Nothing too dangerous. Disclosure: We have no idea what a worm hole actually is, where it leads to and whether or not you can survive the forces present.

Ready up?

 

[John Thomas]

You know what is there? Death. You're sucked in and every atom of your body is added to the solid marble that we mistakenly call a black hole.

Hi, Darby and John.
Your claims evoke an image of questionable aim,

which, symbolically,

Thence, though the second example contains elements of syzygy,
I rejected it as a replacement of my initial avatar.

All, despite Darby’s being self-described as an “evil debunker,”
I can but pray “May the force be with you.” Why?
Because the greatest of forces is often subtle and sometimes,
for various reasons, even imperceptible. And that is also why
I ask you to speak for yourselves--

Darby, while I’ve yet to discover how it is possible,
I have experienced time travel.
In fact, a skeptic once time slipped with me.

Later, I'll post my recollections of that occurrence.

 

[John Thomas]

Whatever you do, don't take me on one of your time slips. I'm tired of playing this level over and over again.

 

[Syzygy]

Take you on a time slip?
I was in the passenger seat.
That tale was awaiting the return
of the host/ess of this thread.
Do you expect IgetwhatIwant
taking great care in for what s/he wishes?

New here, I require a crash course--
figuratively,
in what you deem redundant.
What is "this level"?
How do you hope to progress?

 

[Darby]

Darby’s being self-described as an “evil debunker,”

Actually, I borrowed the tag line from someone's post describing me as an evil debunker. It's been up for a few years so maybe it's time for me to get a new one.

 

[Syzygy]

Resist letting others define you. "[A] few years" of that is too many.
Granted playing the devil's advocate isn't without merit, doing so can
take its toll.

Give some thought to how you would like to be known, and we'll look
forward to meeting the authentic you.

p.s. since your being a member of TTI that long suggests you've more than
a casual interest in time travel, what drew and continues to draw you here?

No. You don't always get what you want. But if you try some time. You might find.. You get what you need.

I'm using a video game reference here. I'm hoping to finish this game with an outcome that I can live with.

In one game, I end up saving the town of idiots and their children.
In another game, I let the idiots and their innocent children all die but the smart people emerge with their children.
I don't know if I can live with the idiots.
I don't know if I can live with letting some innocent children die.

I'll take idiots over Machiavellians any day​

on behalf of children, ​

whom can learn cooperation as means to everyone's winning. ​

What is an idiot? ​

Shall we represent morons as cats​

while you argue, "Dogs are smarter"? Go ahead, ​

and I'll maintain "Each is better at different things..."​

A venomous snake will come along, ​

and a cat will prove himself valiant--​

slap the thing a half of a dozen times upside the head​

and, also, between strikes, easily jump beyond reach...​

and all to forewarn and protect me did my tom,​

whensoever the serpent dared crossed my path.​

How about my vicious watch dog?

Twice bit by copperheads,​

she barks for someone to chop a snake's head off.​

What a coincidence, I just watched episode 10 of "The Borgias" with Machiavelli.

Yes, of course. You are correct. I should do my best to save innocent children by all means.

John,
If you've been playing war games your whole life,
you need be saved first. Quit trying to carry the
weight of the world on your shoulders. Trust in a
benevolent power greater than yourself, greater than
any of us. After all, while it is only for Divine Mercy
that any good ever comes of bad, the best we can do
is ask forgiveness, try to make amends and accept
healing.

Peace be with you.

All,
Is it not evident that children, at so-called play stations,
are being programmed by the very eugenisists whom,
when standing armies are no longer necessary, would
have all of us dead?

So, while I'm not ordinarily so given to preaching,
I don't care who objects to my contending:
Ultimately, good will prevail for,
when it's darkest, in steps God.

Syzygry, are you a prophet?
If so, then you know that I have been playing war games my whole life.
I was a military brat and in the military myself.
I have done and seen terrible things.
Witnessed a sea of pink that was once sentient life.
Heard men quote Numbers 31:7.
The Israelites killed all the Midianite men, women and boys and saved the young girls for their slave wives.
1 Corinthians 14:34 slaves and wives are to be silent.

This is the world we will all live in shortly.

 

[Syzygy]

No prophet,
I'm unable to make sense of mayhem.
I wish there were no such nonsense.
I can only pray,
"Have mercy on us and on the whole world."

No offense, Troy, but sensitive
