2015-08-14 at 8:35 PM UTCyeah i forgot to time correct the click track, got lazy
-

Lol malice is a virgin. How old are you anyway?
​
25. I've never so much as held hands, nor have I wanted to. I've systematized and deconstructed reality into oblivion and have effectively crippled myself. I'm half-way to being bed ridden.Oculus fucked up with the mediocre resolution, makes solid simulation of computer screens basically impossible which would be an amazing application. Imagine a desktop with some shitty $20 CRT you use for booting and as soon as you got it running you could fire up a simulation of like a 6 array of virtual desktops or something. You could be in some shitty cubicle or something but enjoy working and web browsing or whatever in a fancy italian villa or at the top of a newyork high rise or something.
That isn't realistic yet anyway.
It has to do with hardware requirements. Without foveated rendering they're just unrealistic to achieve mass appeal, which would cause VR to flounder for a while, or at least achieve much slower growth than it could have. Regardless, resolution is only part of the picture, there are multiple aspects that can increase visual quality and immersion without it.
There's a problem with reading fine text in VR right now, so it would really be a terrible idea, for now. -

at least buy yourself a blowjob for your birthday or something
I am sure you have lots of decent looking prostitutes in san fran
make sure you check below the belt first, though. -
2015-08-15 at 1:25 AM UTCI don't want that. I hate when people think it's going to change everything, make a world of difference, that it's even something I'm fixated on. What am I, an animal? Is there nothing better in life, no realms far higher than thrusting in and out of cavity? It's merely a symptom of far more deeply rooted profoundly severe problems.
I didn't choose to be born this way, I would be normal if I could. Oh god, why did this have to happen to me? Why was I born this way? Why can't I be reborn? I'd start over from nothing if I could, abandon everything, every memory from this life, that's how bad it is. -
2015-08-15 at 1:38 AM UTCI never said it was going to change everything, I just figured it would make for a kickass birthday

Contempt false smile? That's cruel.
Indeed. I couldn't resist pushing that button. Also, your autism is showing, you know why? Because i know for a fact you looked at the image name to learn the actual meaning of that expression, instead of instinctively knowing what it means.

The meaning of life, pretty much, is to continue the germ line. that's it. feel better now?

or, you could be sitting in a fancy italian villa and enjoy the illusion of working in a shithole cubicle
Lol, I wouldn't rule it out. I mean it's trivial to think of examples of people longing for what is objectively a lower quality of life. We've romanticised the agrarian lifestyle to the point that the idea of owning a small ranch or farm and living off that actually seems desirable despite the fact it has effectively 0 chance of making people happier and has historically always been a relatively hellish existence when compared to the luxury of the life of a modern professional.https://lockedinprism.bandcamp.com/a...n-not-delusion

Nice mang, you definitely are improving. I liked some of your earlier stuff in a sorta ironic way but this album actually has some nice riffs/fuzz in it that I'd be like "yeah, that's cool" if I just stumbled on it. What's your split in terms of time spent on recording vs. mixing? What do you use to stitch the tracks together?That isn't realistic yet anyway.

Regardless, resolution is only part of the picture, there are multiple aspects that can increase visual quality and immersion without it.
Why do you say that? I mean good hardware support would help make it feasible on lower end GPUs (I mean still kinda high end GPUs imaginably but it expands the market regardless) but if it's the visual effect you're after you can shim it in at the fragment shader if you really want.There's a problem with reading fine text in VR right now, so it would really be a terrible idea, for now.
I mean the obvious issue for oculus is the lack of resolution. Do you mean a more general issue with any VR setup? Because that would be interesting, and a link appreciated. But I tend to think that with a retina-level resolution at that viewing distance you could do screen-on-screen simulation without too much difficulty although I obviously haven't tried it. Like I'm sure there are a dozen clever hacks you could pull to improve the experience/performance, but even a naive approach should be sufficient at sufficient resolution.Life has no inherent meaning, I am unable to find satisfactory subjective value. Of course that doesn't make me feel better.
Have you ever seriously engaged with the works of any existentialist philosopher? If you don't mind something a little dry I'd suggest Sartre's Existentialism is a Humanism or Camus' The Stranger or The Myth of Sisyphus (the former is a novel, the latter an essay. The Stranger is probably more fun to read but more cryptic/open to interpretation than Sisyphus). You should also make an effort to avoid complecting politics in the equation (Sartre was largely a communist, Camus rejected communism and that came through in The Stranger and Heidegger (another famous existentialist) joined the nazi party during WWII so the mindset kind runs the gamut of political positions. I'm not saying it's going to change your life or whatever but I think the works from that movement are interesting, firstly, and secondly the classical existentialists do a really excellent job of, at least, cataloging and recognizing the anguish of an honest confrontation with modern society and it's issues but also giving us a way of thinking about our situation in honestly and without self delusion and still finding some solace or even happiness in it. -
2015-08-15 at 4:36 AM UTCNothing I've ever read has ever provided a satisfactory answer. These ideas seem so pitifully small now, I can't remember he last time I came across a concept that seemed truly novel and hard to grasp.
Have you ever considered that some level of profound self-delusion is the only way truly happy people can remain happy? You seem like the type to have considered it at least once. Humans evolved emotions for a reason. It reminds me of the concept of "depressive realism", supported by evidence, that well functioning people are the ones that have a somewhat unrealistic "drugged" view of the world. When you drive emotions down to zero and accept everything for what it really is, it's so profoundly small and empty.
You're using psychedelics, so one day you might have the "meat locker" experience McKenna once had later in life that made him afraid to take mushrooms again for some time. His brother stated that during that trip he repeated over and over again "A lack of all meaning." If you can relate to that phrase, you'll know you're there.
I wrote about my worst trip and later realized that we had shared the same basis of the experience, although feeling trapped in a biological vessel wasn't a major fixture of mine, fortunately. I've never felt such profound coldness and emptiness, it was incredible in a way. If you ever experience, imagine perpetually existing in a mild version of that state, right at the very edge of it, and imagine the hell it can become, like a lifelong sentence to purgatory/limbo. -

@golum
I've been looking for a sustainable sleep aid for like years, nothing you can reliably get works very well but by sticking a bunch of shit together you can make it work pretty well. Valerian is the best thing I've found for regular use and making you feel drowsy and able to sleep baring anything interfering but it isn't really strong enough to knock you the fuck out like you sometimes need. Melatonin is pretty dope in the sense that it make you feel pretty sleepy within an hour of taking it (good combo with valerian) and keeps you down for a while but the downsides are that if you have to wake up before 8-10 hours you feel groggy as a motherfucker and if you take it too regularly it makes some people depressed as all fucking hell (I've never in my life contemplated suicide so seriously as when I took melatonin every day for a week, I was in a blunted daze for like a week afterwards). I keep a benzo (etzi, but I'm sure other would work) on hard for when you really need to sleep but it's just not happening and a good indica ("good" being the important part here, bottom shelf shit doesn't do the trick, if you're paying less than $15 a gram (medical prices) you're probably not getting what you need), which is useful for when you're somewhere between the regular and "gotta fucking sleep or else, benzos take my soul" kind of nights.You can also pick up some zzzquil OTC, it's never done much for me but then some people are just non-responders, just beware you can't take it on any regular basis, gotta cycle it with other shit.
Have you tried phenibut before sleep? Many report that it gives them the best, most refreshing, sleep they've ever had. The pharmacology supports that. IIRC it even has an effect on growth hormone secretion. -
2015-08-15 at 8:43 AM UTCHaha, saw this linked from r/Anarcho_Capitalism: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/3h0et1/denmark_astonished_at_1000_muslim_somali_majority/

Somali immigrants are 10 times as likely to be sentenced for criminal violations as Danish citizens. Bring this up whenever leftists complain about the racism of the US and "capitalism", point out that Denmark is in the Nordic region and even more egalitarian than Sweden in terms of the Gini coefficient and government taxation and spending.
How do you respond to this, Lan Lan? Don't you realize how problematic trying to force equalist utilitarian principles onto the messy reality of unequal human beings is? And why should valuing human utility equally be accepted as the standard position over valuing it unequally? People like you commonly fail to realize that your core positions are just as deontological as those you criticize.
One day I want to knock you off the intellectual throne you've built for yourself and step on your back, drive you to the ground until you learn the joy of submission.
Rape them, then rape them again, then rape them one more time. Rape them until their nothing but a pile of meat. Rape them to death. Rape every human on Earth, Rape every man, woman, and child. Rape them until there's nothing left. -

2015-08-15 at 9:38 PM UTCat the risk of being ridiculed soundly, I am just going to admit that I am heartbroken today. my white boxer died last night, and I just finished putting him in the ground. threw out my back digging the grave, and now I can't sit down right. So, if my jokes are sub-par today, that is why.
