it's september just yet but

He might require a dose of the PD-style Discordia, but he's good people so please give it to him slowly

Ruins the effect.  It's like being run over by a steamroller.  Slowly is WORSE.

What I think is interesting, is the fact that OBE's can be triggered as easily as that. Which would go a long way in actually debunking the tripping hippies that try to argue that their consciousness actually WAS outside of their body (ok it would go a short way, because hippies. but still).

Another thing I think is interesting is because you can measure heart rate with mobile phone apps (something about the camera being able to pick up blood flow in certain circumstances--easiest way is bright LED+finger+camera, in that order behind eachother), so you could bring this to people.

Also helping people with anorexia or other types of body dysmorphia sounds like an AWESOME progression, I've known some peeps that used to suffer from anorexia (fortunately they are okay now), and it is terrible.

FWIW, I can totally see how link + no commentary + "astral" in the title gets PDs neck hairs to rise. Hell, what Roger said, it *does* have all the qualities of a trolling thread. And we do actually get trolls here that would do that shit. In this case, however, I can tell you, Ixxie's no troll. A weirdo, sure. But a fucking cool weirdo, I met him IRL (as did Cram, Regret and El Sjaako). also he ate Regret's face, what is not to like?

check out Groklaw's post itself, just READ it

http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130818120421175

just READ it, really, this, RIGHT HERE, this fucking shit is really really really making me so. fucking. anrgy.

it's all going to SHIT.

I know many of you have been saying this for years, and I've been hearing it, but now I FEEL it. burning right there somewhere. which probably says more about me than about the world, since there's been enough atrocities before.

I said a few pages back, like punch in the gut. It's exactly like the Groklaw article says, the whole Internet, all phones, everything, fucking tapped, you can't go anywhere! you can't do anything, you can't subvert anything, because if you could, that's just proof it was something meaningless anyway. It's all gone to SHIT.





(AND IM EVEN MORE LATE FOR WORK TODAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY)

 

also very interesting is the article that goes with this pic:

http://www.strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/


and that putin-snowden-bathtub picture really just made me lose it, hahahaha, good thing I wasn't just taking a sip of coffee (I learned to not do that while checking the pics thread)

Hey, while everyone was getting forced handjobs¹ from RWHN, the British government ran into the Guardian's offices about 4 hours ago and smashed the computers containing the Snowden stuff.

(See prism thread).

Nothing important.  Carry on.

The actual smashing occured 2 months ago, they decided to break the story last night/this morning/just then.

It's still very jaw-meet-floor, regardless.

To be fair, I may be able to legally acquire it. If I had my previous position, I might be able to acquire it right now

Careful now, that sort of thinking got Aaron Swartz dead.

tiny correction to my code comment

// i tested these with
// equals(intersection(union(p,q), p), q)
// seems legit.

that should of course be equals(intersection(union(p,q), p), p), which always evaluates to true whereas the above will always evaluate to false (unless p exactly equals q).

(I am halfway reading Ix's braindump, very interesting indeed)

I had a quick look at Dutch news sites, it's front-page on each of the newspapers' sites,.  either the Miranda or the data-destruction story, or both. It was a main headline on one of them (though while typing this something else replaced it, but nu.nl does that throughout the day), and a smaller front page item on the others.  the Dutch TV news doesn't seem to mention it (it's there but not on the front page)

I'm not really sure how to interpret this though, I don't usually use news websites that way.

Just watched the 12 o'clock news, and they didn't mention the destruction thing. They did have something about Manning's trial, and  a few seconds on photo of the child.

Miranda's detainment, if they covered it, would've been yesterday's news? I dunno I gotta ask some friends who actually expose themselves to mainstream news how much it was covered.

So, now, journalists, all over the world, are never going to let this fucking go. Right?

please tell me that was not the only copy of the data. surely, surely someone saw this coming and made about 10 million backup files to be released on usenet or bittorrent in the event that this very predictable thing happened.

In his very first interview, Snowden made it pretty clear that this is in fact the case.

if this was the only copy of the data, someone just greenlit an assassination.

I'm not sure if I follow? Assassination of who?

I just checked and it seems that Soundcloud has managed to unbork itself. So ... CLICKYSHINYLINKY!

So I have a Soundcloud stream. Check it:
https://soundcloud.com/tripzilch

In particular check my latest tune:
https://soundcloud.com/tripzilch/approved-c

the new tune is based on the fact that you can have a kitten walk across your keyboard and as long as all notes are in the blues scale, it will SOUND AWESOME

the blues scale is ridiculous.

6 notes, any order, instant cool. music has never been so easy.

(as I said, I've been trying to learn about music theory. it's interesting. but it's also stupid (staff notation!! ). but if it helps me make more cool musical shit, in the styles of musical shit that needs to be made more of, so be it!) (these musical styles are in particular a couple of very specific chemical beats styles, and I'm nowhere near that yet, because currently I'm learning about notes and chords and scales and keys, while I should be learning about drums and breakbeats and tension, very much tension. but I'll get there)

Listen, before anyone else gets the idea of posting seriously in this thread, please go to page 1 and start at the beginning.

This will trap them in an infinite loop! Clever!

It isn't a real phone # 

Everyone, please take a note of that for our future projects.

You know, I seem to be immune to my own puns.
I didn't even notice I punned until Pixie pointed it out.
This is excellent news for me and horrible news for the rest of the world!

WE WILL BE PUNSTOPPABLE!!!
