So did people notice people went kind of nutty last Monday?

A strange question I know; however, last Monday and even to Tuesday, people seemed to act a little crazy.

People going beserk over the strangest things. People at work who were always in a good mood just got exceptionally bitchy at things they never complained about before.

I thought it was just me but friends and family remarked on the same thing.

Earth's magnetic field was temporarily stronger on Monday. It was the strongest recorded magnetic wave since we started taking measurements. Some people seemed to have been affected by the stronger field, but no one is sure why.

It's the beginning of the end of the denial phase. Really.

I am so sorry. I'm not being sarcastic, but the entire way of life we are used to is coming to an end, some people are starting to deal with this, and they are angry.

It's gone, and it isn't coming back.

The main thing is to keep a cooler head about the whole thing. Not to shove out platitudes, we've been through tough times before &c. and will again.

But yah, I see the incipient behavioral changes.

also, I think it was a phi-mate turn date and an armstrong turn also this week,

that and the equinox turn.

if you subscribe to such rubbish it would explain it all.

Isn't that the basic premise of Condemned: Criminal Origins?

Heh.

I don't know about that. But there is a nugget of truth in the equinox turn. Credit spreads always improve in the spring in the US (usually!) b/c of taxes.

So people, and markets, behave against the primary trend.

Also, I think spring makes people want to fuck more.

No, but they've been rather nutty over the past couple of days. The homosexuality threads (and the resulting fallout) alone seems to have generated as much talk on the moderation board in the past couple days as all of NSG usually does in a week.

Well, the series finale of Battlestar Galactica was on Friday. People's PTSD from the ending of Sopranos was obviously being triggered.

No, not really. The world's already teetering on the brink of insanity, and Monday showed no difference.

Look in the sky you will see an increase in Chem Trails. The NWO is using HAARP to make people who have undergone the MK-Ultra experiments go crazy so the government can issue martial law. Notice the increase in shootings throughout the world. When the government issues martial law you will all be rounded up and sent to FEMA camps where you will be slaughtered like cows. You monkeys are no longer needed the elites will now use robots instead of you eating, shitting and stinking cows who do nothing but pollute the environment and reproduce like a virus. You sub-human monkeys are not fully alive anyways so its time for you to die and give way to the new man. You all are not worthy of the singularity.

I didn't notice anything, but I had Issues of my own that day, so I wouldn't have noticed anything.

Well, I knew some people who were having a bad day, but I was okay.

It was the end of the quarter, as far as I could tell, things were naturally nutty, as all of the wee students were either drunk and awake, studying and awake or both at the same time.

True but not on the scale I saw and for the stupidest things. For example, one guy went apeshit because a printout was handed over at 5:01 instead of 5:00.

It was strange and like I said other people remarked on the same thing.....

I know nothing of this. I've been hard at work on a laser that would destroy all the hats in the world except my own personal collection, of which I would wear two every day. Body temperatures would drop by half a degree or so in the winter. It'll be sheer inconvenience!

the world, or at least the 'western/northern' world has BEEN insane. what its teetering on the brink of, is its actual eventual recovery, though this is not an instantaneous process.

but no, wherever it was this magnetic or whatever anomaly is supposed to have occurred, either it didn't (or was weaker) where i was, or i just didn't notice because i wasn't around anyone at all on that day.

i AM looking forward to some interesting things, when people begin to realize they can't keep destroying the means of their own existence and expect to keep existing.
