The random conversation thread

I already went there a couple of times.

Don't really like going there for such trivial reasons. I feel like I'm wasting their time.

This doesn't really affect with my training, after all.

...Because it's tie-d in with the culture?

So, my father was an electrical engineer during the 80s, became a neo-Luddite in the 90s, and has just recently decided that "holy fuck, the internet is awesome!"

This is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

I like how he misspelled "faggot".

Mdickie is to G.K. Chesterton as Icycalm is to Nietzsche.

Wait a minute, this is mdickie's site?

Also, HOLY HELL THAT IS A LONG ARTICLE.

No, this is Mdickie's site. The guy I linked to with the art games rant is called Icycalm.

Oh, okay.

Dude, how long did it take him to write that aimless P.O.S.?

Icycalm does not write. He hates, and articles spontaneously appear. He also fails to understand the distinction between "Games as art" and "Games made for artistic reasons".

He lost me when he attacked William S Burroughs's cred as an artist.

Dude, say whatever you want about his character, but that man was a genius.

Icycalm vs an actual philosophy professor.

Like fish in a barrel.

Right then.

Well, I should read Philosophical Investigations at some point, at least.

The problem with Icycalm is that even if he makes a good point, he's so much of am insufferable, ego-centric wretch of a human being that it's near-impossible to listen to him.

As is in the comments.

Yup, took that from there. Provided a right summation, that guy did.

My brother-in-law beatboxes (actual beatboxing in this case, not mistaken for rap).

Though he's half-Palestinian, half-Greek. So still has brown skin.

Kraken: I think you should go see the doctor. You know, just to make sure everything's ok with you. If your situation made you wonder in the first place if you should go see a doctor, it might be a good idead to do so.

Afterall, he IS paid to make sure you are healthy, right? I dunno, asking the Doc for a medical checkup doesn't seem like wasting his time to me.

I saw the most nauseating haircut today x_x

How does a haircut induce Nausea Fuel?

This girl was kinda bald-ish, with her hair forming a net over her scalp. And this was shortly after grabbing a bagel.

Ahhhhh.

You know what's a weird experience? Seeing your shadow after you've just had a major haircut, because the shadow of your head is a different shape.

I last had a haircut in January. For weeks, I missed shaking my head and feeling the hair on the back of my head ruffling around.
