Bizzin' Up

Bizup Hi and welcome! It’s nice to meet you!

Thanks! Give this place time and it will be bustling as much as before.

It's a hamster wheel so that they can keep millin' it, churning out the same hype reworded with new angles and new conjecture, but, if you don't hold on they can't waste your time.

And your money on their little trinkets, I do still want that ancient alien plane pin....But that's how they get ya.

Welcome. What do you consider postwhores? And so I was wondering where all the traffic to this site was coming from, so it's Reddit, is it?

That's how they make their money.

Mindless poster here, glad they let me join this site.

chat rooms are the only place I can be mindless, the real world needs constant thinking to allow you to survive on Social security and stay debt free.  I can't even be mindless on Facebook, my kids are always watching everything I say.  If I make one messup on a text, they make sure I am informed, yet I can't even understand their incomplete entries.....Do they think everyone can read their minds so they can just post pictures of things with no explanation of what it is?  They say that is the way most people do things now, no explanation of what is going on...maybe they are practicing mind reading at a distance?

I should start an account named mindless poster.  Or maybe put a little phrase under my avatar saying mindless poster. 

Less context creates more posts because the goal is to increase the traffic of posts, so, why not grab all that is random and send it around on the messages? They might call it "Pictionary at a distance".

I don't have the time to wait for a response and clarify it.  I tend to try to explain it thoroughly and put examples to show how I apply it.  But occasionally I get off topic...but actually if you analyze the off topic part, it is related to the thread...often a sort of example to prove or disprove something.  I do summarize it in a short sentence, but sometimes I just say I am going way off topic because I prefer others to analyze what I said and try to properly apply it. 

I look between the lines of what most people say...or choose not to say....to try to figure out if there is a hidden message they inject subconsciously.  Sorry guys, I analyze everyone's post, and often go investigate if there is validity to their post or if it is just based on their personal beliefs.  I have learned way more doing this than just posting and not investigating what is said.  It seems that I am still learning lots from these kind of conversations, I usually am partly right, but not wholy right when digging deeper into the subject.  It stimulates my curiousity to learn more.  Without this stimulation I would be bored, and I rarely discount all of what people say.  There is always a little truth in everything, a little truth can make something seem legit when it is not actually even pertinent.  A little truth makes people believe a misconception or something that is parroted that is not real.  The trigger to the belief is if something you think you know is part of what is said.  It is an Ad Hominum technique that many people use, inject a little true thing into an opinion to make it believable.

There I go...off topic again.  Now remember what I said when I say that. 

I learned long ago not to outright say things, you put information that stimulates people to think about something and analyze if their opinion of what they are thinking is properly put together.  I am seventy, and have used this technique to try to persuade people to look at both sides of issues since I was in my mid twenties.  I even used it to get doctors to look in the right direction when I needed to go to the doctor for something.  I would let them make the diagnosis...although the doctors I used to go to knew I was in pre-med to become a doctor and I always researched medical stuff.  But I let them find the answer, I lived in this body all my life, I have known since I was a teenager how to analyze my own symptoms because I paid attention to the doctors and learned from them a lot.  The fact that I usually always turned down prescription pain meds because they made me constipated helped, they knew I was not in there to get drugs.  They also knew if I asked for something for pain, I really needed it,  I have had problems with constipation all my life, and fiber just gives me Bazoars which makes things worse.  A hand full of cashews works better than any laxative they make for my constipation...peanut butter cups work pretty good too.

Maybe what I said in my example will help someone if they read it....but still off topic.

Well then, maybe the contextless messaging suits you fine as a time passer.  Personally I like to stay focused and with all of the distractions of modern technology sometimes that can be a task.  If I were inundated with media with no real purpose or explanation I'd turn it off and do something else.  At 70 you'd probably rather let the media guide you along anyways so that's understandable.

Hi Bizup!   Sorry for the late welcome.

Glad you're here, and you can be sure the members here understand fully what it means to have a long past with ATS... I had been proud to be allowed to help out.  Alas... time changes everything, including things that we build, nurture, enjoy.

I found Reddit to be shockingly poor at actually implementing "human" moderation.

But younger minds seek and embrace "zero-contact" reality as a default.  And they seem to expect the 'auto' filtration of their world to be instantaneously resolved.

"No time"
Must respond now.

Almost all posting misfires happen because someone wanted to hit that button "right now."

This board seems largely dead and lacking of the people that drove ATS in the golden years.  I was searching for that late-night high that can only be found on Art Bell's show or in a David Lynch movie.  At least it isn't a mysterious open-ended question anymore "what happened to that site?", it's closed, forever.  Here's the sequel.  Maybe someday it can grow into something as fantastic.

I think that about ends this discussion. Thank you for all of your replies and welcomes! If this thread could be locked that would be nice, thanks.
