post it here. this is a topic where you can say almost nothing. post in irc, yeah, the topic title was BS, but if you want to say a little thing post it here. the general thread isn't clear enough - so, there is literally nothing too small for this thread. here's my initial example:
i was at a good party last night but i think the girlfriend of the guy who i am pals with doesn't like me and i get why and i don't really like her. it is a weird thing to not like people.
let's do it!
-
shit!! so it has come to this!!!!!!!!!! im gonna take a shit here.... FIRST POST Lol \m/ >:^B
-
oh, also - i mean this to be a personal thing, not comments on media or whatever,
-
shit!! so it has come to this!!!!!!!!!! im gonna take a shit here.... FIRST POST Lol \m/ >:^B
yes facker. gotta do it man.
-
any double/triple posting etiquette is suspended for this topic. this topic is pure chaos, GET IT?
-
it'sa good idea tho!!! i liked earls post a lot and he's like "oh jeez, maybe i should just idk, destroy my account for that post..." and i was like "hell eyah!!! humanism/good life qualities!!!" also nat im just spotin shit atm, no big thoughts/events apart from what i said a little time ago on whats on your mind but I'll Be Back - Beatles.
-
just a more nonsense version of general thread, but with hopefully - HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS - little quality control, just talk. i want 10 pages in a week.
some girl just stuck her head in my zone to ask me to turn my earphones down. she's right. i'm too loud. i'm in the uni library. i'm a 23 year old university student right now, later i won't be. i think i fancy about 4 different women or so. hi.
-
I still don't understand what this topic is about
-
some people don't go on irc, sometimes you can't go on irc. actually most of the good ones still left don't. if you don't like it, merge it, but i'd say wait it out first. general thread isn't a good name anyway, and this isn't about having something to say it is about saying something.
-
oh okay.
it's fine, I don't care but I just thought it was kinda vague from the title and initial explanation.

it's like irc is mandatory to being a real sw member ergo i'm not a real member

well, the IRC could potentially be built into a little chat box on the site right? Or would that be too much work? :P

WINE POND OF ROBOTNIK
I THINK YOU KNOW ME... I'M SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. YEP, THAT SONIC.
ROBOTNIK TRAPPED ME AND ON MY ONE VACATION, TOO. ONLY YOU CAN HELP ME NOW.
SMELLS FRUITY AND MY MIND'S REELING. ONLY ROBOTNIK WOULD BE SO EVIL AS TO DRINK.
STUCK IN THIS WINE POND... THERE SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER WORLD IN HERE.
I CAN'T SWIM BUT IT'S OKAY, THERE'S LAND DOWN HERE. THERE'S AIR.
YOU GOTTA HELP ME. I DON'T CARE ABOUT RINGS. I'M TRAPPED HERE.
I HAVE TO GET OUT. YOU GOTTA HELP ME. I DON'T CARE ABOUT EMERALDS.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT RINGS. YOU GOTTA HELP ME GET OUT.
I'M TRAPPED. WINE POND OF ROBOTNIK.

it sounds halfway between silly early disney cartoon song and something that you would hear in a fancy elevator

yeah, there's been some stuff that I didn't post in the general thread because it seemed too dumb and personal, I guess just because everyone stopped using it for that.
it's like irc is mandatory to being a real sw member ergo i'm not a real member
there was a period where I guess this was supposed to be the case, but it doesn't seem like it's true anymore. I dunno, I'm one of the people who don't use irc. there are apparently a lot of irc users who never post or look at the forums, too. they're like separate connected communities

I hear all to cool kids talk in here.
-
I don't know if I just go on irc at the wrong times, but over the last few years or so I haven't really had the time to get on irc, and whenever I do, there is never anyone talking anyways, or they don't want to talk about anything other than animes or dumb k-pop
-
I am the type who is always logged on IRC, but never have anything to talk about. Sure I will talk at times, but I can never start a conversation that lasts more than two to three lines. I can only assume that the large majority of people who CAN talk on IRC have that very same problem.
Either that, or you know, bad timing. The impression I get is that a lot of IRC logs can simply boil down to:
Some User: Hey, "Specified User". Are you there?
*Specified user is logged on, but is afk and never responds*
SOME TIME LATER
Specified User: Hey, was here someone asking for me?
*Person asking is no longer there*
And to answer Oblivion's very important question: it is simply far too difficult to choose just one. Until they break down and finally make an anime adaptation of Firefly, I will never have a truly concrete answer to that question.

i just got back from visiting Texas. will spare details also grand conclusions about that distant yet beautiful country since i mostly don't have any. i was too bowled over by the sense of an extremely vast, assured, self-contained, very physical-seeming culture beavering away in ways which were partly alien to me (city layouts etc) and partly unnervingly familiar (bright suburbs from blue velvet intro!) and felt like a blurry ghost wandering around this enormous construction kit world. it seemed like a place where it would be more than usually difficult to get some general picture of what was going on, like this huge sprawl of little microworlds just smeared across a chunk of land (hearing about places like Israel, TX (http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hri05) aided this impression). i enjoyed it a lot and would like to go back there again or visit america in general.

has anyone seen that episode of law and order svu where they chase some pedo who specifically puts honey on his dick to molest 6 year old girls.
just goes to show what my pappy used to say
ain't nothin in this world worse than a honeydicker...
-
they walked into his house and he had a bookshelf with nothin but jars of honey in it and he had a boat that said "honey do" on the side I swear to god

half the class skipped the day-long field trip and my professor looked really disappointed and sad. he also lagged behind a lot and used his umbrella as a cane and almost fell once and didn't finish his dinner and we ended up eating somewhere else because his favorite pub he always went to was gone and everyone flocked to a much younger and more hip professor. I never really liked him and I didn't try very hard in his class, but I kinda saw a different side of him today, I mean, besides the part where I was pitying him, which only started to happen towards the end because we're dumb self-centered college kids who are always trying to weasel out of doing anything we don't feel like doing. this is like gilmore girls chicken soup for the soul post I guess, but if I can stop thinking about baby's first diaper mess for a moment: I don't want to do any of that anymore, being too good for class assignments and disliking people for no good reason. I really thought I put all of that stuff far behind me, but I guess not! that shit's so immature, I can't believe I fell into it again. we should probably do something for him, not sure what? a thank-you card from the class?? it can't be too mushy, he's gruff and likes to bust peoples chops. I dunno, that's probably what I'll do.
-
i got as far as baby's first diaper mess and got grossed out. couldn't continue. what happened to that prof...damnit
-
btw people don't really talk alot on the forum anymore either, least it don't look like it.
-
I dunno man it shows character even noticing that shit. Most people go their whole lives without giving a flipping fuck. I'd just talk to the man honestly, act interested or just tell him what you think. I already feel like that sometimes, shits moving too fast and I can't keep up. I ain't got no cane though. I fear growing old like the devil because I see that shit happenin. Being really fucking bitter and just AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDAMN KIDS and down alot because society is slowly dissolving into a gigantic mess of static and self-gratifying bullshit.
Thats why I like what I do because I can be all like; HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fuck yall I'm gone and its just the waves and steel and the dumb babbies are at a calculable figure and not an unimaginable scale of disgusting horseshit.
Go clubbin one good time and watch a bunch of young women ruining themselves with vanity and insecure promiscuity with all the shitheaded little men doing it to them with their chests out all the while deux are suckin down gin and tonic like a last breath of fresh air and spewin all kinds of dumb shit and see if that don't get you bangin yer head against a bathroom stall.

washington is a cool place especially the seattle area. I def wish I could smoke I'd move there.
They came and got me as soon as I woke up because two dudes quit because between our new chief mate (s) and captain those idiots are constantly doing or having us do stupid shit and they got tired of it. The cap almost sunk this ship as soon as it came out of drydock. We've been reassembling parts of a helodeck and now I got it passed onto me and I'm doing it at night and I can't see a goddamn thing. THey're kinda in a hurry to do it because they want to land a chopper on it which is dumb as hell cus I'm pretty sure someone has to inspect it and if I end up not bolting something down right and it goes into the intake or rotor of the chopper it can pretty much destroy the damn thing but whatevuh.
Also its incredibly windy and I can't see shit.

sad story about prof
barret that's pretty depressing. who skips a day-long field trip? that's the type of stuff i spend like the entire class looking forward to! it's good you feel a little guilty though -- i think that's productive. i'm not making any judgments or anything but i'm a student too and i'm constantly surrounded by other students who are checked the fuck out by semester #2 and it kind of gets under my skin i guess. college is ludicrously expensive and probably the one time in your life you'll have access to billions of dollars in resources and countless people who've devoted their entire lives to what they study; it frustrates me a little when i see bros in yolo shirts dragging a dolly of natty lite crates and being seemingly oblivious to how many people dream of the opportunities they have but never end up getting them. sometimes when i'm feeling like a lazy bum i think about this and instead of phoning it in on an assignment i think is Missing The Point or skulking out of class as soon as it's over i'll ask the prof a question about their research and they seem to like that and usually i learn something at least interesting, if not useful.
i empathize with on you the regression tho. nobody tells you you can have grand revelations about your life and behavior and then kinda forget them and go back to being an idiot after a few months.

people sometimes put on personas on when interacting with someone they don't know that well. they don't wanna let their full weird hang out before gauging who they're talking to
barret that's pretty depressing. who skips a day-long field trip? that's the type of stuff i spend like the entire class looking forward to! it's good you feel a little guilty though -- i think that's productive. i'm not making any judgments or anything but i'm a student too and i'm constantly surrounded by other students who are checked the fuck out by semester #2 and it kind of gets under my skin i guess. college is ludicrously expensive and probably the one time in your life you'll have access to billions of dollars in resources and countless people who've devoted their entire lives to what they study; it frustrates me a little when i see bros in yolo shirts dragging a dolly of natty lite crates and being seemingly oblivious to how many people dream of the opportunities they have but never end up getting them. sometimes when i'm feeling like a lazy bum i think about this and instead of phoning it in on an assignment i think is Missing The Point or skulking out of class as soon as it's over i'll ask the prof a question about their research and they seem to like that and usually i learn something at least interesting, if not useful.
i empathize with on you the regression tho. nobody tells you you can have grand revelations about your life and behavior and then kinda forget them and go back to being an idiot after a few months.
that was a little judgmental, though! I guess to their credit, traveling there was kinda rough and expensive, and it's really crunch time with final thesis projects in a major that's already extra time-consuming as it is. still, tho. and I don't think I went "back to being an idiot", I mean, I've gone to every class and I've done all the assignments well, im a TOP STUDENT, it's just in my head I've been thinking "this class is kinda junk, and I don't like this guy". I felt more irritated with myself than guilty, but really the main focus is the dude who got let down
-
I bet he had one of those nostalgia moments where he wanted to show a bunch of young people something he really liked when he was younger or maybe is interested in and got kinda jaded because they're dumb kids. Dude I love talking to old people about shit they know usually as long as it isn't inane or somethin.
-
yeah i guess it did sound judgmental. i'm sorry. i really didn't mean it like that tho! i think it has less bearing on you and more on the ~college lifestyle~ that you sort of seemed to hint at. i've spent a lot of time with people who genuinely couldn't seem to find a Way Out; this has probably left me more cynical than i'd like to be.
i'm not saying you're an idiot or anything, but from your post it kinda seemed like you felt more negatively about your own attitude/performance/regression in addition to the sad old professor part. maybe i read too much into it. in any event i just identified with finding yourself doing things you thought you'd moved beyond. sometimes there'll be points where i make a big step forward only to look up a year later and notice backslide and kinda marvel at the fact that i could lose touch with insight a lot more easily than i could gain it
p.s. final thesis projects wow. what do you study? in my major theses are optional and mostly only advised if you want to demonstrate interest/commitment to grad schools you're applying to. sometimes in the spring i'll walk past the architecture building and i see a bunch of people with their huge models of buildings or whatever they're showing off and wonder what their classes are like. all i get to do is read
-
no, you're right to pick up on that, I guess I thought it read as catharsis. it's probably just derivative of a jamie post tho. and it didn't matter to me that it sounded judgemental, it's just something to look out for I guess
I study landscape architecture, had previously majored in biology but switched majors. it's a 5-year program, so the first half of the 5th year has a thesis prep class for research, and the second half is an actual project based upon your research. the scope of what you can do is really broad and analysis-driven. I researched a certain social aspect of urban environments, and how spatial and environmental cues can help or hinder certain people. I know that's ultra obtuse, I just don't want this post linked to my stuff!!
on rare occasions thesis projects like these get attention from professionals and kind of spearhead or reinforce a new direction in the field, and that gets me really anxious. if that's a potential goal that's just sitting out there, yikes.
I bet he had one of those nostalgia moments where he wanted to show a bunch of young people something he really liked when he was younger or maybe is interested in and got kinda jaded because they're dumb kids. Dude I love talking to old people about shit they know usually as long as it isn't inane or somethin.
yeah, he got to do that at least once, actually - he took us to literally a hidden grotto in the middle of the city that few people know about. it was really cool. I know last time I was there I walked right by it. it just looks like a hedge.
-
yeah pretty much almost all of my practical work is just ingenuity and figuring shit out and I've learned so much from the old sea dogs I work with. Learned alot about the different places we go to and the cultures, history of the work and sort of shit that some people have been through. The only thing is with foreign nationals as a young buck I gotta show an inquisitive and openminded nature right off the bat (I do it anyways) because they're kinda wary of american youth from stereotypes or pretty much genuinely how they are most of the time.
-
Also whoa gods17 you are just entering college? You sound so much smart-education-older in good way!
oh well shucks!!! i'll try my best to improve more.

I go on IRC at weird hours, it's usually the UK/NZ/Aus members and maybe some US people too I dunno?
There's good chats sometimes, it's a good place to ramble endlessly (which I am good at).

I graduated, the speaker was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dpPRHYRnYc]Carson (http://[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dpPRHYRnYc%5DCarson) Kressley[/url] of queer eye for the straight guy fame. he's from around here.
I ended up having a pretty good time the past few semesters, and I think that's partially because I've been spending a lot less time trying to socialize on the internet and live in gameworlds, as obvious and trivial as that sounds. I remember when I started college I used to always hide away in a computer lab between classes, in order to comment on forums and avoid BROS or whatever bull. that was before smartphones and twitter were big. jesus christ I'd probably be dead
I approached this line of thought because a little while back I was walking around campus and enjoying a really nice spring day, but creeping up on me was a feeling that I spent too much of my time here alone and trying to inhabit an addictive garbage world that doesn't even exist. I justified my e-reclusion by attributing it first to different tastes and depression, then anxiety, people's preconceptions, and the feeling that I don't fit in with the college crowd. but by some coincidence kressley's speech hit upon this and I was filled with some kind of absurd feeling of coming full circle. I watched queer eye with my mom in hs. and isn't all of this from the beginning also a metaphor
-
hey earlchimp/gyro zeppeli, congrats for graduation and for/dats some good thoughts. full circle huh... here's a revenge to the tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjzsnNkL-7o (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjzsnNkL-7o).
you know this but there's a place for this kind of garbage world in growth/history (tho "in moderation". a diogenes or aristottle...) so i guess it can all come together if you work on it. tho dont take this chim(p)ing in for compulsory ego-def, i agree with you nat and think its sorta like jamie said, that there was no other way to find or connect with these people irl otherwise. different kind of mechanistic interaction tho... actually i might continue this in private, do you know the feeling that you're heading straight for the thoughts but on the way you notice that your strut might seem unexplainable to someone, better hone it etc?? it can happen even to pest people... also a corrective, i dont mean to kill public topics/dis forum with moving stuff always on private but cest la shieet, earl posts warrant a bounty- i mean a reaction from bonzi. it was fun stumbling thru this post!!
-
The Internet takes all the physicality out of socializing, which is comforting and deadening (in that respect). Coherent, meaningful extemporaneous communication with moving, feeling, breathing, stinking people is a lot more difficult/consequential/satisfying/potentially uncomfortable, in my experience. Sometimes I forget it's not quite the same, but eventually something happens to show just how much the two forms diverge. They're useful in different ways, though
there's some jumbled up stuff about the line between written conversation and writing in here, I guess, although it's mostly been excised
I am glad to hear that you sorted some of that out, hope your thesis ended well and not suddenly
I discovered George Plimpton's hippie brother, he seems pretty decent
-
natural plastic trashworld hybrid/dog-chimp mutant
I think there are multiple uses for a place like this, yeah. like you both said: how else would we have connected with such special people or discussed such an array of subjects on a meaningful level? but there's a lot that I find awful about internet socializing too, beyond essentially writing letters to people. it's absolutely addictive. it has also occurred to me that the internet has been by far the main source of negativity and apparent malice I've seen from other people, against each other or at me, and I find that unbearable.
esiann: I'm just starting the work portion of my thesis, actually. I finish it in august, then look for a job. feeling optimistic about the job, scared of thesis!!!

does anyone know anything about this weight loss bacteria stuff?
i'm reading a lot of articles which just refer vaguely to some bacteria that apparently changes how much you take in from the food you eat, explaining why some people can eat more than others and not put on as much weight. i'd be interested in rubbing some of this bacteria on me or whatever you do with Bugs but I can't find the specific name of the bacteria which might be because they are still testing it but it worked on mice and that's good enough for me.
-
weight loss biofilms http://www.cormon.com/products/other.aspx (http://www.cormon.com/products/other.aspx)
actually I did a search and found the scientific american article, which has a tiny picture that lists some general families of bacteria, but it sounds like it would be useless anyway because it's about mice and they apparently have totally different gut fauna and digestive systems. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=gut-microbe-swap-helps-weight-loss (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=gut-microbe-swap-helps-weight-loss) a lot of the articles seem to suggest a stool transplant from a healthy individual could do the trick, which might be easier and less expensive than finding the exact bacteria you want and buying it through http://www.atcc.org/ (http://www.atcc.org/) or a similar website. both of those options sound like really bad projects to pursue on your own imo.
maybe try eating a lot of fermented stuff in the meantime, supposed to be good for gut fauna and general health.

I'm proud of you brah, I think you'll feel alot better about yourself after coming out.

coming out of what dude
thanks though, farren.

I believe he means your depression/reclusiveness.
-
it was a bad joke because it took a speech from queer eye for the straight guy asshat monopolizing on his own alternative sexuality to get you to realize internet reclusiveness is a horrible thing.
I ain't any better though I go between hating the internet and television/games/movies and then turning to socializing and realizing most people are horrible and stupid and then going off to hangout on the beach or river or at sea away from concrete, billboards, and bullshit just to turn back to one or the other again.

cuz your a gaymer get it

I dunno what that means, but as I've said it's been a few semesters since I noticed. I sort of realized it on my own, after years of people saying essentially the same thing and me not buying it for reasons mentioned above

Doesn't look like he was kicked out at all

russell brand is offputting at first because he seems exactly like the obnoxious, opulent mainstream fashion scumbag that would attend an event such as that - and his shows and book etc, are all pretty shitty - but whenever i see him in interview he comes across really well. i mean he's the sort to go around dating katy perry or whatever but i appreciate that he roots his wacky persona in kindness. it's unexpected. too late for him to ditch all the shitty stuff he's done though i guess. i've never really watched his stand up, but it'd probably be the most tolerable way to take him other than late night interviews or whatever.

i'd say most of his stuff in front of any adoring audience is pretty intolerable, but when he's up against an indifferent or hostile one, he can be amazing. his old radio show where his co-host was a (non-famous) friend who knew him well, wasn't impressed by him and liked to call him out on his bullshit is still the best thing he's been involved with

Life summary 13/9:
<ol><li>Just finished my first academic paper. Not sure if I am proud of it or if I think it's a bag of shit. Either way I feel like a huge weight has just been lifted off my shoulders.</li>
<li>I am going home tonight to see my family for the first time after a year of seriously falling out with my mother and being banished from the North.</li>
<li>I am off work for 10 days. So is my lady.</li>
<li>The game jam appears to be turning out to be a good idea!? We can have more of these right?</li>
<li>I am gonna queue with all the awful "gamers" on Monday night to get my GTAV preorder. I don't care what anyone thinks. I am shamelessly excited.</li>
</ol>OKAY?

I pre-ordered it yesterday and the guy at the desk suggested I show up at nine and wait until midnight and I suggested he fuck off I'm not sitting with that many "hardcore gamers" my motherfucking head would explode.

I've been home on medical leave getting treated for my carprel tunnel because a doctor I had to go to for a physical in order to work in brazil suggested I do so before I can work. Anyways long story short I've been home for awhile and got those nerve tests done with the little prongs I forgot what they called it and wed the doc decided to try to give me cortezone shots in my wrists. I've done it one other time, it kind of worked for a couple months but this time it didn't take. He told me to let him know if he hit a nerve when he was doing it but I didn't feel that at all.
The shots worked for like three hours and then went away and my symptoms came back, I called the dr. office and let them know and the RN told me that sometimes the shots take one or two days to take. Its been two. Last night my fucking neck started killing me like someone was stabbing me in it with a pin needle and it still is. I couldn't move my head and was hunched over. Its slightly better now but I can still barely move my head.
Something they were worried about when I got my MRIs and those other tests was a small scar on or near my c3 spinal chord which both doctors said is usual and I shouldn't worry about. The first one gave me a couple different MRIs and when I asked about it said he was looking for Multiple Schlorosis.
Does anyone here know about MS? Does this sound like its related or that the doc might've hit a nerve? Or maybe its some dumb unrelated shit that'll go away? Its pretty damn persistant and I'll prolly bring it up when I call monday if it doesn't go away but I don't wanna spend even more time off of work at home doin even more tests if I just pulled my neck or something.

one of my closest friends comitted suicide the other day

the tragic thing about suicide is that it doesn't end the pain, it distributes it to other people
I'm really sorry for your loss

Here's a dumb little thing I made for a class project earlier this summer. Took me a couple of days in Processing (http://processing.org/), pretty much the only game design related crap I've done in practically a decade. The source code is terribly sloppy, I could do a lot better now after having more practice in Java and OOP best practices.

it's out! (thank the heavens)
