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

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.

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.

Infinite layers of complexity

So you've just replaced the word "dimension" with "layer of complexity", it does nothing to make the situation clearer. What is an layer of complexity? Why do we have reason to believe any number of them exist? What would count as evidence of an infinite quantity of them existing?

Infinite axes and infinite configurations of "existence".

What does it mean for an axis to exist? We commonly model dimensionality of a space with vectors, lengths of a vector in a space are equal to the dimensionality of the space, we can consider and express vectors of infinite lengths and spaces with an infinite number of dimensions but is that a sufficient condition of existence? It devolves into ontology I guess, I'd say no, just because we can model a thing doesn't give us a reason it "exists" for any normal meaning of existence.

I suspect the most natural reading of OP would be "does an accurate model of physical space have an infinite number of dimensions" and the maps has been mistaken for the territory. In that case we can at least say the question seems coherent but I don't see what could possibly count as evidence for or against the proposition. Occams razor would seem to recommend we take the answer to be "no", in absence of a reason to believe there are infinite physical dimensions we'll have a simpler world view in accepting there are exactly 4.

Also I realized the universality of vocal timbre the other day. Like if you listen to children speaking languages you don't understand you can immediately figure out they're children. Sex and emotive delivery are the same. That's kinda weird right? Like if you asked me why the person speaking in OP sounds like a young girl there's the obvious point of pitch, but there are obviously other cues as well, the kinda halting quality, certain sounds deviating slightly from the typical adult enunciation. It's the same across languages through, I guess it's physiological? Kinda interesting, you could make a research paper out of it. Algorithmic identification of speaker demographic. Not sure what the practical application would be but still, could be fun.

Nice, I remember that story but actually thought someone else posted it. Probably pretty drunk at the time.

um no….? I listen to all different kinds of music. I just happen to like rock the most.

You just implied you don't listen to dubstep or trap or that listening to those genres is in bad taste.

Though lately I've been listening to a lot of very early experimental music like edgar varese. he was one of the earliest "electronic" artist
