Rapturous applause

332 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 16:54

Thank you! Thank you! You've been a wonderful audience!

333 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 16:55

"Encore! Encore!"

334 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 16:57

Oh my, I couldn't possibly...

335 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 16:58

But, why, we're so close to the half way point;

336 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 16:59

I can't just stop posting now, can I?

337 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:00

Actually, I can.

338 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:01

In fact I sort of have to.

339 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:02

I shall leave the >>350 GET to somebody else.

340 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:03

Farewell!

341 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:56

Amazing

342 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:58

If this is a dream, I...

343 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 17:59

A wise tree in a mountain full of mirrors

344 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:02

What do I feel

345 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:03

How can I rescue that cat

346 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:05

I want to, but at the same time, I don't...

347 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:06

There must be an easy way to do it, I'm sure

348 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:08

Ha, that'll work.

349 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:09

Eye I'm a genius

350 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:11

As to what'll I do with it afterwards...

351 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:11

I'll think of something.

352 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:14

Never mind Big Brother

353 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:16

You don't need cameras everywhere if you have a horde of retards with they're cameras

354 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:17

Ah, pero esto no se queda asi

355 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 18:22

So anyway, this tree..

Yoshimitsu is so fun to play as in Soul Calibur IV.

364 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 21:48

i have to do something else right now but when i finish i'll post more

365 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 22:12

So close and yet so far.

366 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 22:27

dubs

367 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:16

I'm just going to start rapid-fire typing and posting as I think. Maybe that would be more interesting than just spamming single words or whatever (probably not).

368 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:18

I guess what's bothering me most about the Bhagavadgita is that its three main prongs are 'act correctly to uphold the crazy regressive feudal social order,' 'Krishna is your personal lord and saviour,' and 'the cycle of rebirth is a clusterfuck of incomprehensible rules, good luck!' all of which are pretty unappealing.
The vocabulary is easy though, so there's that.

369 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:20

Almost done with a textbook on Old Irish. I get how the grammar works mostly, but my memory/intuitive sense of the conjugation and declension endings is really bad.

370 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:22

Last time there was a hurricane (Irene I think?) a stray dog wandered on to our porch. Parents left some food and water out there but didn't let her in and she wandered off afterwards. I really hope she found her way back home.

371 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:25

It's funny how the coming hurricane is being treated so breathlessly. Probably will be a fair bit of storm surge and random deaths from trees falling down and such, but not like a national catastrophe or whatever, just a handful of personal ones. Also like 30 people died in the Caribbean but they're foreigners so oh well.

372 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:28

Actually that's funny in general, major hurricanes can kill upwards of a thousand people in the Caribbean and Latin America and they hardly get any mention, but upwards of a hundred Americans and it's 24 hours for the next six weeks and a dozen documentaries get made out of it.
Not trying to be one of those social justicy types, don't have any strong feelings about it, just seems risible.

373 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:31

Breed differentiation in dogs is really remarkable. Would be neat if we could do the same with other domesticated animals. Obviously we do to an extent, but size isn't as variant.

374 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:33

Maybe that's just perception though, I'm familiar with dogs and cats so differences are more readily apparent. There are plenty of different bovine breeds but I can't notice the distinctions. Even size, some cows are incredibly bulky, some aren't.

375 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:38

It's pretty frustrating that consumers won the fight for DRM-free music but are totally indifferent to other media. Particularly since Blu-ray has probably the most cumbersome DRM in history, excluding maybe those old PC games that had dongles. Shit, I'm not even a pirate, I want to buy things, I just don't want to have to buy some shovelware Blu-ray playback software and constantly have to update.
eBooks also suck, but at least they're cracked easily. Finally got around to doing that after reading about lady whose Kindle got remotely wiped.

376 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:38

Patience and Perseverance

377 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:40

It's also frustrating since I don't want to buy any DRM-laden ebooks anymore but I also dislike having physical possessions. University library was great, but local small town libraries are pretty middling.

378 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:42

It's kind of weird to think that behind most small image and textboards are a group of people on IRC. Especially when you see personal references. It's like looking at shadows on the wall.

379 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:45

Wonder what the ratio of IRCers to strays is. And which ratio tends best to cultivating a good community.

380 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:48

I really like anonymous group communication. Not because I feel like I can get away with more, I have a pretty strong sense of internal guilt as opposed to external shame, but I really appreciate that things are judged discretely rather than bound up in social relations.

381 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:51

Or ideas of identity at all. I don't even like things like Omegle. I'd rather dissolve into an anonymous whole than be an individual thing.

382 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:54

When I have to I make up a new pseudonym on the spot. Don't feel any connections to any of them. I started corresponding with grey via e-mail recently and I realized I didn't even have a pseudonymous email.

383 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6998 23:59

IRC scares me. Anonymous message board users turn into annoying catchphrase spammers or uptight Nazis when they're given pseudonyms. See: 4chan.

384 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:00

Reading Euripides' and Seneca's Herculeses. The beginning is pretty brilliant, he's MIA in Hades and Lycus is going to execute his wife and kids because of some potential historical claim to the throne of Thebes or whatever, some you're holding your breath and waiting for him to show up and save the day. However, you also know that he's going to kill his kids later in the play.

385 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:02

I'm so uncreative with pseudonyms that one of the only pseudonyms I use is "pseudonymous".

386 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:03

>>383
I think 4chan has different problems than that--I would assume the mass base of posters are oblivious to IRC, except maybe on /jp/. On smaller sites the ratios are flipped.

387 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:07

Picking up a language after leaving it be for a long time is really frustrating. Constantly running into blocks and feeling like an idiot, but you can't ever get better without persevering.

388 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:08

Of all the comics that needed a gritty, Nolan-lite TV series...Green Arrow, really? It works a lot better when he's portrayed more "middle-aged", even when he's actually younger. The irony is that a show for adults comes off as a lot more dull and childish than the Y7 cartoons that actually handled him really well.

389 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:12

Being rich must be really weird. Lots of confusing decisions: is your job a valuable end in itself that you should continue in it? Once you're more or less sufficient is it really worthwhile to carefully manage your money to maximize it? Is that an end in itself? What's worth buying? What do you do with your estate after death? Do you/how do you fulfill your social obligations through charity?

390 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:14

The recent bout of media exploitation of comics IP is pretty fascinating. Wonder how long it will last? It's always been kind of an undercurrent, I guess.

391 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:16

The problem I would have with being rich is that I know my hedonic treadmill would turn up to 11, and I would end up more miserable than I am now. Well, after a month or two of happy spending.

392 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:19

I was looking at nice watches recently and they all seem hideous. Don't see the appeal of precious metals and jewels at all. I don't believe it's a matter of sour grapes. I really like complicated and ornate movements like in Patek Philippe's, but I'd like them in a simple pilot's watch.

393 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:24

Sometimes when I look at things I like to imagine how much energy went into their creation. Like a book was a tree that grew by photosynthesis with energy from the sun and matter extracted from the ground and then harvested by lumberjacks who needed food and equipment which was constructed by people in the past in a long recursive spiral to the beginning of civilization, ink was I guess a mineral or something that was extracted in the same way, factory same way, then you have an author who was supported by civilization in a similar manner. Obviously a lot of that is amortized over huge quantities of each object. Still nuts.

394 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:25

How the hell did baseball catch on in Japan and Cuba anyway?

395 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:26

Christianity in Korea too. Seems like a really odd outlier.

396 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:35

List of interesting historical thingies:

  • Conciliar movement that nearly turned the Papacy into a figurehead
  • That time when the Fatamids took over Sicily and southern Italy
  • When Kongo and Portugal were best friends
  • That time when Catalan mercenaries took over Athens
  • That war where like two thirds of the people in Paraguay died
  • When the Mongols invaded Indonesia
  • When the Ottomans took over Constantinople and the Sultan declared himself Kaisar-i-Rum, which means that Rome technically fell with the abolition of the Ottoman Empire in 1922
  • When the Khazars converted to Judaism
  • When everyone invaded Russia during the Civil War and that one group of Czechoslovaks made it clear across the country

397 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:36

Writing is pretty nuts when you think about it. You're receiving the thoughts of someone given physical form and transmitted across time and space.

398 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:37

Pass me another joint, dude.

399 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6999 00:38

400 GET next.
