    Going to College as an Adult

    I'm liberal. I have no idea who these people are, other than "profoundly mistaken." Part of what these halfwits have participated in, is the devolution of the term "liberal." We live in a liberal democracy. Free market capitalism is a liberal economic model. The bill of rights is hardcore...

    Going to College as an Adult

    Every time you guys mention retarded professors it kills my mellow. Not because you are wrong, oh no, not at all. It is because you are right. I know you are right. I am not even sure you guys realize the extent to which you are right. And when you bring it up, a flood of specific fucking idiots...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    I just have to say what any old eq'er knows. fucking with people in RL is a very, very bright line. I does not make me confident that this individual was CBS. So he sneaks around, too. I'll let the older members of the community make the call and trust their judgment. But really. This is so...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I'm an amateur astronomer, sadly not currently in a Real Dark area (8 inch dobsonian, televue optics), but this does, ya know, piss me off. I keep it to myself because I don;t want to be a weirdo, but if you have ever had a really lucky night stargazing, and seen some stuff you never thought...

    Jeopardy!

    That can work. I can see that. But man, I would hate to be Ken Jennings. So, it sounds corny, but what would Trebek want? Then it's easier. I am positive he would want the show to go on, but properly. Jennings would totally understand that crucial point. But jeez. "Irreplaceable" rarely...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Isn't this kind of similar to (potential) antibiotic resistance? We discovered the idea, used it, developed it, but then (allegedly) we will exhaust that line of drugs, and bacteria will eventually develop immunity to all of them. That is a different "wall" tho. But one could put it into the...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    History. It turns every fact in the present day into a 3 dimensional object. That was part of what I meant by "literacy." It is very valuable. Without a grasp of history, the present becomes two dimensional: there is now, and then there is what will happen because of now. (present and future)...

    A lot of this music is still disturbing. That's good. A strange genre! There was a hella lot of drugs in the wax trax scene.

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    I would want to stipulate that until technological limitations can be conquered -- maybe a century, maybe 500 years, maybe 1000 -- you are correct, which why we should not fool ourselves, or else the "cybernative blunder" will be our great filter lol! This is where I end up. The expanse of...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    That's a very concise throwdown. But it is maybe too concise. A bit of a dry hump against an old log kind of feel. I can luxuriate it for you. The degree to which everyone who grasps the whole 1) sees the 10,000 ways we rise and fall, and collapse in folly, and make tragic mistakes, and waste...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    slave revolts of values, Nietzsche called them. But they happen. They suck, but they can't be stopped. Nietzsche thought he figured out how to stop the constant cycle of this rise and fall -- of the rise of "great types" that then get inverted by a slave revolt as they call who they are "good"...

    The Fifth Element (1997)

    There are a few eye-rolling moments. But you said it. It's a straight up excellent film. That era Milla Jovavich is second only to Linda Evangelista for me, re: the late great age of Supermodels. It's ez to be pretty. It's actually pretty hard to be able to use it effectively to either act or...

    Cottagecore, etc.

    That "hobophobic" thing is the give away, ain't it? And I am not saying hobophobia is "cool." Cottagecore is about home. It is about a tidy pile of wood for the stove. It is about being crafty, well-organized. With that in mind, I just want to make CLEAR: That's prisoncore. I think the...

    Oh, and that not the term. "Hobo" is considered a hobophobic slur.

    Cottagecore, etc.

    Cottage requires some concept of stability beyond just a tarp or a loyal dog. The tunnel people don't get that idea. That doesn't make them bad, it just means, no, it's different. But that's why I don't want to talk about alt-cottage too much. It leads to arguments.

    Cottagecore, etc.

    It not good! It's more like people who insist on saying they are homecore, but they basically are all about not being homecore. It's like the tunnel people. That's not cottagecore. Crafting, making do with what you have, and feeling gratitude are three basics of cottagecore. The tunnel scene...

    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    BB khakis were solid. I never felt inclined to get much more there. I think I bought a Dunhill ascot in the late 90's at one. (I will post a pic of it, it's very important to have an ascot.) T-Shirts. I have been wearing calvin klein black t's most days a week since.... They are still nicely...
