Chalk it up to laziness. Chalk it up to just a lack of something better to say. Chalk it up to whatever you’d like to - the end result will be the same.

Writing is a passion - to be a good writer, one must have something to draw inspiration from. When that well runs dry, the writer often finds him or herself in a predicament: what shall I write about?

Sometimes the answers come and sometimes they don’t. To skip to the middle and spoil the ending, this isn’t one of the former.

But fear not - for the well is without end and as deep as the deepest cracks of the ocean floor.

In an age of over-saturation and invasive advertising and pop culture references, we have come to the point where the phrases we use to express ourselves have become nothing more than pointless letters, seemingly randomly thrown together to appear like we are putting some real thought into just what it is, exactly, that we want to convey message-wise.

One phrase, in particular, comes to mind. “CMN”, or “Cry more, noob”. It’s been used so many times out of the originally intended context that I’m starting to think that the people using it don’t even know what they are talking about.

Proper usage: Person A uses an item that he got fairly, and that is available to everyone in the game. Person B says “Using that (item) isn’t fair!” Person A then says “CMN”.

It’s a proper usage because this item can be gotten by anyone, and it would seem that Person B is just too lazy to get it himself, therefore he thinks it is an unfair advantage, when in reality, it isn’t.

Improper usage: Person A uses an exploit to gain an unfair advantage over Person B. Person B says “Using that (exploit) isn’t really fair!” Person A then says “CMN”.

This is an improper usage because Person A is exploiting a vulnerability in the game to take up an unfair advantage over Person B.

It’s becoming more clear that the general usage of this term is nothing more than an inability to express oneself in a manner that is either understood or meaningful in any way. It has also become the trademark classic 14-year-old comeback that does nothing more than prove just how much attention they aren’t getting at home. In short, it’s just pathetic.

Congratulations! You’ve just won the Internet! You’ve figured out that slandering people anonymously is not only the preferred method of doing so, but that since you are anonymous, you will never reap the real life benefits of any real repercussions since, well, you’re anonymous!

You’ve figured out that what can not be said face to face with somebody is better left to the Internet, where not only can you slander whomever you want with no real consequence, other people (like yourself) can do the same thing all while taking said topic completely out of context and probably getting it wrong in the process.

But wait, there’s more! Not only have you figured this out, you’ve figured out how to use things like message boards and IRC to further your own agenda with other people like yourself to put down those who cannot (or will not) defend themselves because they will not sink to the current level that you find yourself at.

And you’ve done all of this while completely missing the fact that you’ve not only become nothing more than a sad pathetic parody of what used to be a good inside joke, you’ve become a parody of yourself. But really, if you think about it, I guess the latter and the former are one in the same.

So what will you do with this new found title? This new found reward? You will probably continue to lash out at those who are using what you yourself are using simply for the fact that they are using it and nothing more. You will continue to lash out at those who enjoy the same freedoms you enjoy, and then you will hide behind these freedoms and declare that it was because they deserved it and should DIAF.

All while remaining Anonymous, that is.

So congratulations and good luck - you’re going to need it when the veil of Anonymity comes off of you and you are exposed for the useless waste of flesh you truly are. (Oh, and may the rain of endless beating come down upon you like so many Internet Fappers placed into overdrive.)

If you ever watch a movie where a person time travels in the movie, you’ll notice that as they do so, they don’t age. They don’t age, and everything on their person does not age.

The image above illustrates what I’m talking about. On Line-A, we see a normal timeline. Birth to middle age to old age. On Line-B, we have a timeline that starts when the person is middle-aged and we see how old he would look (and be) if he traveled back to the point he was a newborn and traveled forward to the point that he became old.

And C is an illustration of what would appear to be some sort of enclosure around him made up of Time Particles, which would keep all time relative to the point that he left and remain with him to the point that he arrived, with no apparent decay.

The same example could be used to say that I place an apple on a counter in front of me and place a second apple in my hand. Assuming that the I am in a controlled environment and that nothing will physically happen to the apple from any outside influences, I go forward in time 2 weeks.

Based on the Time Particle theory, the apple on the counter would have aged naturally and probably not be very appealing to the stomach. The apple in my hand, however, would still be the same as it was when I jumped forward, and would still be good to eat since it did not age naturally. In fact, it would have only aged however long it took us to make the jump in the first place (anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes to whatever.)

“…time cannot be separated from the three dimensions of space because the rate at which time passes depends on an object’s velocity relative to the speed of light, and also the strength of intense gravitational fields which can slow the passage of time…” (Wikipedia “Spacetime”

In order for the Time Particle theory to actually work, we would first need to prove that time, is in fact, something that can be physically measured and viewed under a microscope. (Or at least seen by some means other than the natural effects of aging.) It would have to have physical properties of some kind, and it would have to manipulatable within the contexts that we need it to be.

According to Gravitational Time Dilation (Wiki) time travels at slower rates at lower gravitational fields. The difference is only in nanoseconds, almost insignificant in the bigger scheme of things, but the main thing is that it does pass slower.

However - Gravitational Time Dilation is copresent with an accelerated reference frame. Basically, any force within this reference frame would be manifested while from outside, the force would not.

Take two balls and bounce them simultaneously alongside each other (in and out of the Low Gravity Zone) and one will fall faster than the other. That’s basic physics, simply due to the fact that the environments in which both balls are balancing are not the same. Visually, time would appear to be moving slower.

If we were to take an environment with no gravity, and overlay it with our own natural environment (where gravity occurs naturally) we would see movement AND be able to feel the gravity that isn’t in our own current environment.

Since we are moving faster than the speed of light going forward, images would appear to slow down. This can be observed in traffic as you speed up to pass a car. When your the speeds of both cards equalize, the car that you are trying to pass appears to be going nowhere (relative to yourself). As you speed up, the car appears to go slower until, at the right speed, you are able to pass it. Going faster will only make it appear even slower as it starts to fade into the distance.

However, for both cars, the speed of light is still the same - it is only the velocity of your car in comparison with the other car, that is changing. However, if you were to go faster than the speed of light, the rate of change would diminish in comparison to your own.

Time, however, would still remain the same elsewhere as the light of speed in other locales would differ along with results from any nearby low or high gravitational fields.

But, if you were able to travel faster than the speed of light without moving at all, we would see the same effect, the only difference being that everything around you would continue to progress as it would normally, only slower. Since you are stationary, anybody outside of your view would be able to not only see you, but interact with you as well.

Coming out of this Faster than Light state, if you were to say, grab their arm, it would be instantaneous, as opposed to a motion that would normally be seen if you were to do the same thing outside of that state.

Since both of you were in the same locale, the speed of light would equalize and once again be the same for both of you as you slowed down.

It was the act of slowing down that equalized time between yourself and the other person. So in order for the Time Particle Theory to be conceivable, the person would have to remain in a constant state of moving faster than the speed of light, time itself would need to be manipulatable, otherwise they would equalize with relative time in their surroundings.
