does anybody actually read this wall of text

The non-linearity of it kinda draws you in. Like maybe you read the first sentence or two expecting to stop there but then there's words that you're just like "why, why are those there? I have no idea what that means or where it came from" and suddenly you feel compelled to continue reading to try and glean their origin, to unravel the mystery of why the phrase "dog catching his hard dick on barbed wire fence" is on your screen. The payoff's about a one in five chance of ever happening I find but it's the thrill of the chase that makes it fun.

Lanny Bird of Courage

Do they? Are we projecting our own temporal aspect onto them?

They would seem to. Sure we can doubt just about any aspect of an external world as colored by perception but I seem to have more evidence for the idea that bananas ripen in a mind independent way than against it. Anyone can perceive their ripening and they appear as if they ripen even in the absence of someone to perceive them (I don't watch them all day but somehow they still get riper).

No, I fucking hate coast to coast and everything it stands for. I would ship niggers who listen to it off to camps where they would be literally forced to eat each other's shit until they died if I ever got the chance.

Ok so let's say you have a perception, or a thought, right. That's one frame. The 3-d world around you and within you is included in/constitutes the frame.

If you have consciousness, or a stream of thoughts, there are continuous 3-d frames, 3-d perception becomes consciousness when time is taken into account, or 4-d.

Sure, our consciousness does seem to be predicated on a progression of time. Time, however, is clearly not a sufficient condition for consciousness (the bunch of bananas sitting on my counter certainly have a temporal aspect, yet are not conscious) and I'm going to argue not a necessary condition (mathematical formalisms are, for the most part, time-independent. If you believe we can express consciousness in such formalisms which I think you think we can, and which I think we may be able to, then you would seem committed to the temporal independence of consciousness per se).

Lanny Bird of Courage

Dad's a bit on the dead side.

Just closed his bank accounts yesterday.

Banker was this asian dude who kept saying how sorry he was and apologizing for random things. Like he clicked a pen off as he handed it to me and was like "oh, I apologize".

Also the place was your typical ostentatious SF bank, big ass vaulted ceilings, one open space, marble floors and everyone was wearing stupidly expensive suits.

The ambience made me feel an odd mix of uneasy, self loathing, and salingeresque contempt for society, which then fed back into the self loathing part.

Also I had a really nice greek salad for lunch, it came with warm pita bread and balsamic dressing. I've give it an 8/10 but a bit on the pricy side. Such is life in the fidi tho.

That's how my day was, thanks for asking sploo, very considerate of you.

I start working out because I'm cute but that double chin is really gonna hurt my tinder game.

Then I kill myself because drugs ruined my ability to engage in activities that promise gratification in more than a few minutes/hours.

I do not know what you mean

2016-05-04 at 5:06 AM UTC in Are there infinite dimensions?

Lanny Bird of Courage

The thread would seem to be about the actual world (asking "are"/"is" something the case, on a natural reading, would seem to be asking if it's the case in actuality). Are there infinite dimensions in a world where the fourth dimension is somehow the same thing as consciousness? Fuck if I know, I don't really believe that sentence even has any meaning. But I do know it does nothing to address the question of the appropriate number of dimensions in a model of physical space nor, for that matter, to clarify anyone's opinions about anything.

Drove over got the IV catheter and stopped and got distilled water and threw some salt in, shook it up and IVed her fluids at my friends house.

Now I don't know what to do about this- it look nacrotic. Anyone got any advice on treating venomous shit like this? I thinks she's got over the first hurdle, now it's just figuring out how to go about treating this shit.

Just because I operate in a backyard doesn't mean I am untrained or ineducated,

There are the parts that would have me worried if I was your dog

If a 4th dimension could be equated to consciousness

How is "a 4th dimension" the same thing as consciousness?

Lanny Bird of Courage

Dph and nutmeg too and lots of weed don't flrfsr the weed and I'm drunk

I know you're not going to take the advice but I wouldn't operate that thing while tripping.

Well, new development. The dog who was sick and I IVed fluids to, she's still doing good, eating drinking, and pretty normal for being so sick just a few days ago, but around her neck swelled all the fuck up right before I left for work, get home and all the fur is missing in a big patch and there are 3 holes that go deep in her neck. I think she got bit by a rattlesnake and why she went down so hard and my action of giving her fluids most likely saved her life. Now I don't know what to do about this- it look nacrotic. Anyone got any advice on treating venomous shit like this? I thinks she's got over the first hurdle, now it's just figuring out how to go about treating this shit.

I not sure a dog-sized animal would still be alive 24 hours after a rattlesnake bite. In any case a vet is the obvious move. Do a kickstarter or something, IDK, just killing the poor animal would seem better than back alley untrained dog surgery

2016-05-03 at 6:09 AM UTC in Anyone here still play diablo 2 ?

Lanny Bird of Courage

D3 is shit. "oh hey, let's play whackamole on cooldowns" totally misses the appeal of the franchise. Not to mention that piece of shit sat in development for what? 6 years? Graphics were trash (not that that was ever really what the franchise was about).

Runescape has a place in my heart but it really is the epitome of shit-slog grind.

2016-05-03 at 6:04 AM UTC in Anyone here still play diablo 2 ?

Lanny Bird of Courage

I still boot up D2 from time to time and play through the first few chapters. Paladin or necromancer based on my mood, explode corpse is somehow, after all these years, still fun as shit even if I usually play summon.

Also super meat boy is a lot of fun. It kinda happened in an era of cringey "indie" games but I think it really managed to characterize "nintendo hard" in a way I haven't seen any other game do well. I think it's really well made and definitely worth a play.

2016-05-03 at 5:54 AM UTC in Anyone here like deerhunter?

Lanny Bird of Courage

I've listened to a lot of cuck step and trap at work and on tinychat and I just haven't heard anything that I would play on my own time.

Try Skream for UK dubstep and James Blake for "post-dubstep", I know what trap is but I don't listen to a lot of music in that genre but this dude makes some pretty great trap instrumentals. Sweet valley, likewise, is kinda pseudo-trap but really shows off the potential of that genre IMO.

You can tell they had an influence on com truise

yee blood, I could definitely see that influence

here's his newest ep that came out a month ago

Oh shit, new com truise? I'm behind the times, glad to know about it.

Shit nigga, why you gotta have good taste in music but such bad sense of everything else?

It really disgusts on a visceral level that there are people who can't perceive anything except through the lens of conspiracy theory. Like so broken are they that they see a trailer for an alien movie (a favorite hollywood theme literally since hollywood was a thing) and think it's a government conspiracy. It's like when you see a junkie blatantly lying, desperate, changing their story up continually but saying each lie so sincerely, hoping something strikes a cord and the sense of violation when now and then you fall for it or come close. That sense that another human being is so far removed from you that there exists in the whole field of human discourse no sequence of words that will shake their supreme confidence in such an obviously retarded conclusion.

I've realized why it evokes such a strong emotional response from me. It's not that someone has a wrong opinion, we all know that's commonplace and it's easy enough to come to terms with. It's that when confronted such staggering bias I recognize the fundamental depth of my subjectivity: that I exist on an island of perceptions removed from not just the conspiracy theorist but from every living thing, from the world, from everything I love in the world by an unclosable gap of flawed perception. When someone else can take the same sensory input as me and arrive at such profoundly divergent conclusions I have no choice to accept that the entire conscious experience northing more than a screen, a collection of signals I receive but which I have absolutely no reason to believe correspond to a consistent reality. I hate them because they break the happy illusion of a compelling external world and serve as harsh reminder of the fundamental futility of all my projects in life.
