You think you can get away?

They will always find you, they know and control everything. Your network history, your pornographic preferences, your location, your eyesight, your thoughts, and hell, even when you take a shit! There is no escape, we are in it for the long run. This society of data collection is insane, there is complete control even if you are not aware of it. We are only led to think that we are free but we are secretly being influenced and watched 24/7. They are trying to assert their absolute power over you.

Why even bother going on? There's nothing you can do. We are powerless. To think otherwise is foolish.

You can play your stupid little Touhou games and watch your little anime shows and mess around with programming languages to try and distract yourself from the truth, but the reality of the matter is that your thoughts are known and you are being watched and judged every second of the day and everything is being recorded. You are being controlled and monitored like a lab rat. Do you want to continue this useless existence? I know I don't.

The walls have ears, and the walls have eyes. There is no escape, you will soon realize.

Phew, that's a relief! You had me worried there for a moment.

Neither of you replied seriously, but this is a very serious matter.

Do you just accept your fate? Or are you in denial about what's really going on?

Who are "they"? I do not know. But they are in charge, whoever they are. They are elusive. They may or may not be related to the current puppet-governments. Perhaps they are not of this world.

They are even monitoring me writing these posts, and will most likely attempt to kill me soon... but they will probably do it in a very subtle fashion. Perhaps they will come into my home at night and shrink my heart valves, increasing the risk of a heart attack. Maybe they will irradiate my brain, eventually giving me cancer. I try to be alert as much as possible, but I can't be conscious 24/7. They are well aware of that. Perhaps this was a mistake, but maybe not. If I can spread my newfound information about the absolute control, then maybe we can band together and break free.

But in the meantime, worrying about what they'll do is making me go crazy.

Are you the MI5 guy^[1] from the uk.* newsgroups?

When you're at the beach and see a seagull, do you think of a bird? No, I think it's an advanced robot with camera eyes, recording your every move, transmitting information to those in control.

Cameras can be so tiny these days, you can never tell where they might be because it's so easy to hide them. They are everywhere.

All your network traffic is deeply analyzed using advanced deep packet inspection methods. Even your encrypted traffic is seen. Their advanced methods make AES256 look like cleartext.

I will not tell you who I am, but I do not know who that is, and that is not me. I also don't post on Usenet.

Why? Do you somehow find it amusing? It's no laughing matter.

I think I'm going insane. I need help, and maybe a friend, but I can't trust anyone. And I probably never will.

I don't know what to do.

Perhaps I should get back into programming to consume my time. What's a good high level language these days? I'm just a casual so I don't want to get into low level stuff. I heard Python's pretty good and easy to get into (even though many of you Haskell/Lisp elitists regard it as a joke or toy language).

Perl

Why are you asking us? Maybe we're part of the system...

>>11
I'll check it out.

Now you're just fucking with me. I don't appreciate that.

Lisp. Joke about parentheses and GC all you want, all decent high-level languages are Lisps.

It's nothing you aren't already doing to yourself. Go outside more, see a psychiatrist, and read SICP.

Let them watch. I like audience. And I love to surprise it.

I am already seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist. The psychiatrist put currently has me on addictive medications (which help slightly, but not much... and I don't like the fact that I have a dependency for them), and at one point he had me try a certain medication which made me feel so frightened and crazy that I wanted to die. It was very traumatic. I don't really trust the judgment of my psychiatrist.

I don't really feel comfortable talking to my therapist about this shit because I think it's kind of embarrassing. Most people in real life would probably laugh at my temporary delusions (keyword: temporary, I'm not crazy all the time) and psychotic episodes and short mental breakdowns (my previous posts in this thread were an example of those... they happen often but don't tend to last very long). So that's why I come to the internet... it doesn't matter if you laugh at me, you don't know who I am. And you never will.

I think I'll try out Perl, I'm not so sure about Lisp.

I'm not so sure about Lisp.
I'm pretty sure you catch The Gay®© when you use Lisp.

I'm not so sure about Lisp.
Quite understandable, but you really should give a modern Common Lisp or Scheme a chance.  Things have changed a lot since you invented Emacs Lisp.
