Makes me miss sparring. It was nice to hit someone without consequences.

Why talk to a therapist when you could talk to your imaginary friend, live in a dilapidated house, and start a terrorist-like cult?

I just saw the words “fight club” come up in a video by Texas Paul about a Russian spy in a white supremacist group suspected of shooting out the substations in Washington state.

Great, pin that one on me, too.

Guess that makes me Hitler-adjacent.

I think you should be flattered. The words “fight club“ have become somewhat common in our national conversation. You’ve made history!

I gave you all the info to get to it! If you can’t find it after all that, I don’t know what to tell you. Ha!

You may have in a totally different comment. Who pissed in your Cheerios?

You have read too much into it. I wasn’t annoyed at first. I thought you were being just ballsy and then you put the little ha! in there to show you were playing around. But now I’m annoyed.  I’m not your on- demand secretary. I have other things to do and all you have to do is read the description of the episode in the YouTube channel.  Let me remind you of something. You do not know me. But it won’t get you very far in life if you always think the worst of people.

I'm still being lighthearted, that's just how I speak. I ask that question quite a bit it wasn't intended to be insulting. Clearly we do not share a similar sense of humor. If you understood that I was joking with my first comment what's with the tone of your reply? (Hence my follow up question.) I'm genuinely sorry you're having such a bad day Kimberly. To be clear I was completely joking about needing a link, I saw where you actually mentioned specific details that were searchable in a different area of this thread but only after I expressed my excitement about your find in a way that was meant to be amusing, not make you actually think I was tasking you with providing further information. In the future I'll refrain from letting you know I was interested in what you had to say in any manner since it was clearly upsetting for you. I do hope you have a better day.

Maybe you should check with the author... oh... ha... nevermind. I'm waiting for myself in the alley. Carry on.

I just saw the words “fight club” come up in a video by Texas Paul, about a Russian spy in a white supremacist group suspected of shooting out electric substations in Washington state.  It was on the Meidas Touch YouTube channel.

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but it has helped my mental wellness. I guess I am a statistical anomaly.

So you're telling me it isn't about blowing up credit card buildings? Shame 😢 cause I swear that's what hooked me at first. I was young, very young, and thirsty for the world to burn for no reason. The masculine urge to blow shit up is real but, learning to chill... is better.

Now, currently rereading it, I think it's about not going to war with yourself. And be whatever you body tells you to be. So, yes I agree, it is about mental wellness.

Fight Club Philosophy is modern Anti-Pschiatry.

R.D. Laing would have very much agreed with you.

I've had some weird conversations about Fight Club. The conversation ending with me saying some version of: "Actually, I think the author meant the exact opposite. The ending is pretty specific about that."
