Ha! I knew you would ask, and would have to respond: England! Catching up with some family and introducing my wife. We'll be seeing my dad who has (kindly) planned the five days, and has made reading about it already extremely tiring. Siblings will be seen, hotels, car rides, late nights, early mornings. Problems have already risen, as usual, regarding the dogs and who will look after them, last minute cancelations etc. Nightmare. |

You're an AMPI MAX worshipping traitor from w M w arseworld. You're hurting the world with your hacking and lack of decision making. I think you're great though, and kind, if not slightly intrusive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hacking? i dont know how to hack honestly, i used to do a bit of programming if thats what you mean and i probably could hack if i wanted sorry, i didnt mean to be intrusive just wanted to start conversation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Honestly Hypers, the lack of aural tone with text means I probably often come across as a cunt, when really I'm actually a nice, sensitive person. I do my best too, and I appreciate you start conversations. |

work as for what work as a joke. for a joke to work, it can't be composed entirely of references that no one gets. then you have to explain your references, and by the time you do, it's no longer funny. heck, i linked a youtube video, and it was still confusing... then i had to explain my explanation. that's starting to get towards funny, but it has nothing to do with my dismal failure of a joke. is there another person on the planet who knows what kanish is and can immediately recall the relevant don vito rant (viva la bam 4x03)? i may be alone. only ampi understands me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, there. i've explained my explanation of my explanation. now everyone can laugh at the joke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the joke is squarepusher. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what books do you like mo? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing at the moment really. i have been fascinated by all kind of books in the past, the last wave i had i think was at the beginning of 2010s, with spiritualism and the likes, but its chinese philosophy that put my reading will to sleep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes what is the sound of one handed hermit clapping in a forest with one tree sort of thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you read about the uselessness of what you're doing while you read it basically |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looool yes my mate was reading the same sort of thing, and i was being very dismissive of it, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been reading flatland |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it any goood? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's fantastic. it's also rather 1800s-grade sexist, but in the edition i have, the author addresses this in a foreward; more or less stating "that's just how it is down there." sad but true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, whereof women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides" ooh he wouldnt get away with that nowadays! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. he didn't even get away with it back then, hence the foreward... it's written "in character" like the rest of the book, but it essentially says, "this is a parable; please just let go of the hangup on sexism for the sake of hearing out my full argument." if you can manage this, the book goes superbly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sounds good to me, i doubt i would be offended if i was a woman anyway but i cant say that for sure, |
||||||||
|

there's a lot of deep wisdom about the whole structure of human society in there. it's also human society as seen from 200 years ago, so you'd think it'd feel stale... instead, it just feels stunningly prescient. there's a point where he's using his weird parable of polygons to essentially say, "inbreeding within the noble class will rapidly make them more noble, but they will produce fewer and fewer viable children unless they occasionally marry a woman of lower class because she has big tits. without this, the nobility would die off" given that this was before genetics, that's pretty impressive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i think there is a word for this where the occasionally have to breed outside there social circle, to refresh the diminishing gene pool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fancy a bit of rough or something like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the royal family have some really weird selective hereditary diseases like porphyria because they have multiple copies of the same gene, like pedigree dogs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they were big into animal husbandry back then. make of that statement what you will i figure observation of livestock and human reproduction over the years led to conclusions that were correct (dangers of inbreeding) but no one understood why. i suspect the author himself didn't realize how spot-on he was with his choice of metaphor |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
without knowledge of dna you can sort of understand how they believed stuff like physical appearance reflected a persons demeanor, i think there is alot of madness in the royal families of europe |

||||||||

|

|

i'm a cunt? Elagabalus (c. 203–222, ruled 218–222) catapulted venomous snakes at the people of Rome, invited guests to dinner only to give them inedible bread and leave lions in their bedrooms, used children's entrails for Divination, held lotteries for which the prizes consisted of wooden boxes containing bees, dead dogs and flies. now that guy was a cunt. i'm merely annoying |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
piers morgan is the de facto cunt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you are annoying and the effort you do to not reply to someone calling you a cunt can be read between the lines. |
