Terry has got to be the most loved person on these forums. It really is something - It's funny and kind of ironic that the lolcow that has said Nigger more than any of the other cows here gets the most sympathy and love from people. I get it was more to due with his illness than him being an actual racist, but I still find it hilarious.

I go to the big city every week to do volunteer work - I pass by different homeless people with a sign on the street and think about Terry more and more. It makes me want to give and treat them with dignity. Just imagine being one of those people who DID walk by Terry on the streets and didn't give him a second thought. It's depressing to think about.

I give them some money and a Bible...I don't even care if they buy booze with it anymore.

I've always straight up asked homeless people what they want with the money. Hungry? Let's go get you a nice meal. Not a bag of chips or a gas station sandwich or something, an actual meal at an okay restaurant, no more than 20 dollars but no less either. You want booze? Let's get you some mid-shelf shit. You want drugs? Well, I can't get you that, but I can give you my rehab facility's contact info, and I will gladly pay for your cab to get there.

Even as someone who's been homeless before, Terry gave me a new understanding of homeless people. It's not always entirely their fault. Were there things Terry could have done differently? Yeah. Could he have done them on his own? Would he? I don't know.

Loving people is hard, but I try to believe it's worth it at the end of the day, if only because there are more Terrys out there than we'd like to admit.

Yep.
I used to look down on homeless people as it is true so many of them are bad apples that just take advantage of good people. There are a lot that are junkies and ones who know the ropes in how to scam someone with a good heart.

But even if there is one Terry out there in a sea of assholes, I'd rather take the risk and lose ten bucks. Give them a gas station gift card and leave it up to them to spend it responsibly. Its all you can do, but really is worth doing.

My religion is what taught me to give more of a shit about these people but Terry is the one who helped give them a face. That's pretty vital.

The story of Terry was tragic when I first heard about him and templeos a year ago.
He wanted to make the world a better place but his mental illness got in the way of that.
I too wish there was more Terry's in the world.
I always have felt for his family who did all they could for him as his condition got worse.
At least he is in a betetr place now.

A halo hangs over Terry's head, cuz RIP.

His white T Shirt bears his TempleOS logo, iconography he bears in tandem with the monitor of his Commodore 64.

He stands among the clouds, cuz RIP.

In his right hand, he raises the power cord of TempleOS, symbolizing his role in connecting Heaven and Earth through his creation. His left hand hovers above his keyboard, poised to commence his divination.

This symbolic gesture also serves to cast down the "CIA Nigger" Terry once ran over, sending The Dark One to perdition.

On the computer desk before him lay the monitor, disk drive, and keyboard, and a 2 litre bottle of Shasta, tools of Terry's craft.



I'm :optimistic: I'll remember to make or find a rare pic or meme of Terry for Terry Tuesday.

Late to the party but I still feel bad for Terry and wish things had gone better for him. He didn't try to fuck with other people or make them accept his insanity, he was just a schizo with a lot of IT talent and he did things because he enjoyed them, keeping in his own weird bubble. Unironically, dindu nuffin and those last talks with his parents give me some feels, because beyond the mental illness you could see there was a legitimately good person there, which I don't think can be said for a lot of others where the insanity is just an addon to an already fucked-up mind or an excuse to embrace one. What he lacked in a grasp on reality I believe he made up for with a heart.

Whoever makes these bad Terry a Davis white power memes should feel bad.

Terry isn't a puppet you get to use as a symbol.
Just cuz Terry said the word nigger doesn't make him " /ourguy/ "
Donate to his family you fucking glow in the darks.

Terry on salvation


"For quite a number of years..ive uh had confusion on my exact reality....um..so Terry me there's just something not right about my reality...and I don't have any..i don't have any.... you know one day maybe he came up with a conception what if I'm like in a bubble and there's camera's? And he had this conception that explained his reality.. what I need is some concept of what my reality is.. you know what i mean? For Terry I have zero conception of what my reality is..i don't know.. the simplest thing is I'm a person who's on disability and I drive around in my car and I buy food and sleep in the campground and and once in a while I talk to a person in the store I asked for I buy I'd make a purchase of soda or something buy some cigarettes but then it starts getting strange like " but then it starts getting strange like you go why does the radio seem to talk to me like when I say stuff here mumbles when I talk to myself.. the radio seems to respond now if perhaps I have to explain that when it responds is sort of like a code what do I mean by that when they say one thing I interpreted as though they're speaking in code speaking in something else and that's something else is a response to something I just said so that's kind of the simplest thing and then you start getting like the YouTube videos or popping up based on what I say here in the YouTube feedbox okay
" and you know the Internet sites that I go to are supposed to be somewhat comprehensive and yet they look like a very very tiny world and when I walk the streets I get a very vague sense that I'm not just some stranger you know that I'm somebody that they're interacting with you know for example a reality TV star.. " I get a vague sense maybe that's what I am maybe I'm imagining it so basically it goes on and on and on my whole reality is very confusing I really I don't really have a choice you know sometimes I think that as you mature you know they speak of Heaven has a cloud you know if you know if you can imagine walking around on something crazy like you look down on this fog somehow you're walking around maybe that's reasonable I know it's pretty weird so there's always the desire to make it real you know but you know after 20 years it doesn't seem to get real and the whole time there's been a verge of making it big for the past 20 years I've been like oh great now I'm finally understanding that I have a space alien again so yeah I'm really let's just say I'm walking in the air and I somehow I'm floating way up in the air and I have no idea what's under me I just imagine you're just walking around and you're like why am I walking around in the sky. "So it's probably counterproductive to uh uncover all the to speculate on salvation and what causes logically salvation. I don't know cause at the end of the day. Calculating isn't the right answer so you know the prisoner's dilemma is hell. If you spend your life basically worried about the prisoner's dilemma that's pretty much hell. 'Look on the bright side. You know there's a reward..i don't know..is that true....well is that true?..i don't know..if you're saved I guess there's a finite limit to how much hell you get..
if you're not saved maybe you get stuck in hell..i don't know I guess I think.'
'I dont think The answer is to calculate.
But..least..maybe I'm being reckless..but like..when it says to be extra righteous and stuff..that's not kinda not my approach or something like that.......see here's the deal if you get lucky there's angels that'll balance it out for you..
So you dont always have to be so..
So there's thing that..once you attached your ship too..uh There's thing where you placed your soul in the hands of the Catholic church and then and then..if that's saved or unsaved..see all those soul's you saved are now like working towards your salvation..so they balance out the little..if you aren't thinking of every righteous act real carefully they can save your soul....look it'd be a nightmare to have to do the math on these calculations..but if you're saving soul's and your attached to a greater body then there are bigger mind's.. that uh work out the math..to save you or something..
..take the trash example..or you know..was there an unmatched uh event..tying two people together..i don't know..but like see..if you kinda..if you go by your heart....and kinda like.. you can hope the soul's you saved are gonna fix the little math you missed..somewhere down the line..i guess what you don't want..lets just say you uh..lets just say you make it to the uh..this is kinda bad....lets say you get a bad ghost or either at the end of your life you get a really harsh hell..or if uh there is an after life.. you get a really harsh ghost punishing you or something.... that's probably what you don't want..i think it's proportional....i think..i think there are worse hell there are worse hells..so if you're a pretty good person I don't think it's disproportionate.. that is if your saved I think...... that's the critical thing..but anyway so if you're saved you're gonna get a proportional hell....so There's not much to worry about..be a good person.. you know if there's justice..just rely on justice that determines how bad a hell you're going to get.... you know but um anyway..im pretty relaxed..jesus said to conquer death you need to die....well I think you have to..at somepoint you come to acceptance you might go to hell..and then you stop fighting and act like yourself..ya know.... that's what you gotta do.."
