Mindfuck Tag

Listener — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 17:38:22 -0800

Mindfuck is a tag that has been used only once on askmefi. I'm truly amazed. More people should be using this in the human relations section, I think. I'm sure it would suit many other categories as well. If people were more attuned to what a mindfuck is . . . then they wouldn't be posting a lot of those human relationship questions, I guess.

How does the question tagged have anything to do with mindfuck at all? Unless my definition of mindfuck is totally screwed.

I think that you may have mistaken MeTa for your personal blog. It's a common mistake; no worries. Try not to do it again.

SeizeTheDay — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 17:49:33 -0800

BTW, I think there should be a posting limit to MeTa. Once every six months should do. And there should be a six month wait before new people can post here. That might cut down on the "Oooh, I had a passing thought, but I can't make it past the ChatFilter requirement in AskMeFi and I don't have anything to link to for a MeFi post" posts here in MeTa.

Also this is Listener's first MeTa post. So your solution would accomplish nothing in this case.

Keep reading delmoi, though I do admit to being overly quick to criticize. But even MeTa posts have been scrolling off the front page a lot lately (of course, that stems from Matt's ancient decree to limit MeTa to 10 posts, which was around the time that Miguel was posting to MeTa once a day).

I must not care.
Care is the mind-fucker.
Care is the belittling breath that brings unwanted obligation.
I will face my cares.
I will tell them to fuck off and ignore them.
And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path.
Where the cares have gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Oh, sorry if I misunderstood the guidelines. I thought it was any chat about anything on this site. Sure looks like it. With all the dumb, insulting posts that crop up, I didn't think an extremely mildly amusing one about tags was out of line. No, I haven't mistaken it for my personal blog. My personal blog was full of vituperative, misanthropic diatribes.

Yes, the post about photography has nothing to do with mindfuck that I know of. Just seemed very odd, but a good tag.

Very little to work with there, sadly.

Though mefi, specifically, will both take care of and collapse onto itself, assuming metafilter can ever resolve itself, at least.

I feel the same way about the hurfdurfgasolineeater tag. I'd like people to be more conscious of the needs of end users, vis-a-vis the ease of finding nitro-burning funnycar action.

You know, I just noticed that (in the plaintext theme at least), the 'Metatalk Mission Statement' -- you know, the old blurb about what Metatalk is supposed to be for -- isn't there anymore on the front page of the grey. Wha happen? That's a bit unhelpful to ~~noobs~~ good citizens like Listener, who might quite reasonably assume that it's just a subsite for random chat.

Well, hell, now that you've backed off so gracefully, I don't have the heart to mock you. So instead I'll thank blenderfish for the introduction to Brainfuck, and respond to:

You want creepy, wait till I start doing biographies.

by pointing out that you'll have to work pretty hard to top tamim.

hfyU (hosted from), that is the perfect comment. I think that is exactly where extreme subwoofers belong so that the aficionados can get the maximum thrill. And hopefully, it'll be a final one also. :)

About They're just fucking with ya. I kind of thought so, but ever since I saw the reaction I laughed at that guy in poetry class (I really felt he had written a great parody!), I decide it's often better to just hold back. I know how cheap apologies are, having received many. And the circle of mindfuck is complete, apparently.

Maybe you could explain what it means, because 1) one one person is using that tag, and 2) that person isn't even using it correctly.
