Ugh, guess what saltworldf, im back for a while until my next breakdown.
sucks to be you.

ahaha are there any pages ABOUT tvtropes.com (.org?) because I love how addictive it is I want to show my brother the site because he understands stuff like getting stuck on Wikipedia for a half-hour somehow for no reason. But tvtropes is like a million times worse like they might have an article DOUBLE-CROSS but then they have triple-cross quadruple-cross if there's so many examples of each maybe it's not a cliche haha it's definitely like some kind of argument about how it gets harder to tell complexity from random noise etc. etc.
 
I've been pretty depressed like not even about war recession etc. that stuff ends eventually but I was worried like we'd run out of FUTURE like our generation got the Internet and that would be the last big thing and now we'd all just watch TV and eat at McDonald's until we die, but now we have like middle eastern revolutions out of nowhere black president like freaking cyber-terrorists/vigilantes stealing government secrets and cyberwar attacking bank websites hahaha if you imagine it more cyberpunk than it really played out it's basically the plot to SHADOWRUN or something
 
I really hate how people quantify the future through FLYING CARS even radical vegan communists who want to destroy technology are looking forward to the flying cars
 
Edit: Just film stuff that's going on right now with 80's cameras + John Carpenter soundtrack, and narrate it while changing/omitting specific names/places and you're in the future. And whenever the internet is mentioned just bring up Twitter etc. in one of those DOS web browsers
 
I'm also not trying to be stupidly optimistic about the internet but I'm trying to not marginalize it either. Like that episode of the Simpsons where it was like 'don't worry when Homer has a big idea like this usually he just finds something on TV and forgets about it a half-hour later' not that I'm worried about like propaganda/etc. on TV but I worry maybe we inadvertently slow down to its pace/destroys not even imagination but just initiative. I really like you guys you're always reading about like the 12th to the 15th century unabridged in your spare time and sometimes I feel like hipster doofus for caring so much about reading up on things, like even for knowing all different language/terms to do with music production (you run through a phaser/flanger and encode to 24-bit audio omg slow down what are you even talking about??) we're all that one brainiac character from a sitcom and whatever I lost my train of thought. But yeah I don't even think about it that way it's like internet it's there you've got to do something with it/how can you not absorb some information. Like feeling ashamed for not having heard about a certain country/90's version you mistake whole continents for countries and I dunno they all pray to giant birds over there

o why o why must my cash cab be smeared with a vag. she has that has the same looking face as ben but 10X more annoying.

Cash cab Chicago need a new host

ahaha

ahahahaa wow

gah do all adults think FREQUENCY is the best movie ever or what?? is it.... is it Snowboard Kids 2 for our parents' generation. It's just so unremarkable a movie other than riding redemption/whatever plotline really hard. Maybe there is a better word than REDEMPTION since he is like a fetus when his dad dies in the movie

sometimes I get pissed at you guys for liking ridiculous high-concept movies PRIMER etc. but if you guys weren't willing to explore possibilities of movies you'd probably all settle on a movie like Frequency

my brother thought Butterfly Effect was like absolute best movie of all time is our generation so steeped in/used to movie plotlines (tvtropes) that like really that's the first time my brother had ever heard of that concept lolol people who made the movie totally came up with the idea first in fact Ashton Kutcher thought of it. I mean even Simpsons had an episode with that plotline just kind of matter-of-factly

then again he heard of HARMONY KORINE I don't get my brother's movie/musical taste trajectory at all

is there are ranking system for obscurity like Lady Gaga would be 1 while like PITCHFORK READER/RADIOHEAD is 4 or 5 and like some random Youtube people are 8's or 9's (haha I don't know how someone can be that into RANDOM DRUM AND BASS MUSIC but the collections some people have on youtube are amazing)

more people should just make up random music/bands that they heard just to fuck with people/make them uncomfortable with the sense that they're missing out on something hey guys have you heard my secret aliases Crayon Canyon and Pepsi Yellow

Food prices hit "dangerous levels": World Bank chief

I'm a horrible person but I thought it said "world bank chef"

Celebrity Updates - 2011 Rankings so far

Kristen Bell - similar in a lot of ways to Emma (modest up top, great ass) but I had to go with Emma's youth and sexy accent.

Jessica Alba - Emma. Now if it was Emma vs. Jessica 5 years ago it's a different story, but in 2011 it's Emma.

Anne Hathaway - tough one. On the body alone I'd go with Anne, but I prefer Emma's face, and as a rule of thumb I will always side with the girl with the prettier face provided her body is at least solid. Have I mentioned Emma has a great ass?

Katy Perry - Katy has a great body, and on the one hand I do approve of her kissing other girls and liking it. On the other hand, her songs are still annoying as hell, particularly California Gurls which is a frakking abomination.

Hayden Panettiere - am I allowed to bring up Hayden's haircut and lack of huge breasts?  Not that there's anything wrong with Hayden mind you, I just prefer Emma.

Selena Gomez - a few months ago I'd have said Selena, but the stain of Bieber just kills her.

Emma Watson - is it just me, or does it seem that Emma was out to catch a porno show with her nip slip? In that chase, she should've had a smile on her, methinks.

videogames... videogames can save the education system
 
btw basically my opinion is the primary problem in society today usually relates to like... not recognizing/relating something people are supposed to know the definition of but actually don't... like free speech etc. this isn't exactly the perfect example I had in mind but I get worried that people learn something like 'free speech' enough to answer it on a multiple choice quiz but if they had to restate the actual concept in different terms they'd be like duhduh I dunno. There was some kind of study on this like people who learn something but remember the exact words very literally and people who can't remember the exact words but can state it a different way and the second is 'better' learning I guess?
 
but yeah I'm pretty horrible I'm just waiting for the next lol thing to happen on the internet, and whatever more and more each day I'm thinking it's more democratic/borderline anarchy than any physical country ever and sometimes it contrasts with the real world in ways that I find hilarious in a dark way. More in reference to Wikileaks-type stuff. But whatever just in general basically I believe now only 1 in 300 people are older than 12 emotionally

so i basically don't read and don't know if i even care.

so i basically don't read and don't know if i even care.

you mean my thing or in general

oh, i didn't read your post just then. i just breezed in, dropped that post and left.

gah commercials are really upsetting me recently those ones with the tube-less toilet paper where there's this whistling background music attempting this ridiculous metaphor like the toilet paper is TOM SAWYER etc. going on an epic adventure running away from home and they zoom in/out on the president of toilet paper company with this disorienting 3DO perspective holding the toilet paper ultra hyper-really in your face I think they're intentionally making commercials uncomfortable/queasy again now that we have the ability to make brilliant crystal-clear effects which was perfected in 2005 maybe and making senselessly pretty things didn't work out or something so they're trying to make commercials weird/uncomfortable again and maybe they're taking cues from Tim and Eric

I've been sober for 47 days straight now, and it's weird. This is the longest I've ever not drank.

Anyway, I'm not fixed. I don't really feel much different in terms of overall happiness, and I get into stupid and crazy moods all the time, still. The only difference is now there is no fantasy escape land and no sense of triumph on a weekly basis as I crawl out of my self-made pit and maintain the bare minimum of a life. Now it's just a constant...self-awareness. It's pretty exhausting, actually. At least there is less CRUSHING GUILT upon surfacing in the mornings, but I don't know - I'm not really any good at self-improvement. I can not-drink the hell outta ya if I have something that would make me a pure asshole for doing it in the way, but if it's just for the sake of my own quality of life - who the hell am I that I need 'quality of life'? What the heck?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

that's how it is for us sober folk jamie. if I find a way to fix it I'll let you know.

does anyone here golf? ugh I have to design a golf course but I feel like I'm asking does anyone here steal from orphans. apparently I've always had this feeling lodged somewhere in the back of my head that golfing is despicable in some way and I can rationalize it really easily but I guess it's not fair. you're from scotland jamie don't you golf?

I guess Libya is having protests now too

Libya will have revolution because that guy is basically Homer Simpson
