nice!

Hey assholes! If you can't be bothered to read Vex's awesome work, here's the tldr version

NT?????

I am so wickedly jealous of your cameras




and skill

most excellent indeed

I really like the second one

like -"use it or lose it" -- or you're not supporting the troops

well crafted!

i was having a discussion about birth control with my wife.
she wants me to have a vasectomy.

"why should i have a surgery, albeit minor, when you can have an IUD just inserted?"

"But those are gross," she said.

"Maybe, but there's a vas differenze between the two."

"Yeah, you're right," she said.

:audible groan:

Yo, that is some killer photography!
Nice compositions - every one.

post moar!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Halliburton and Blackwater make a lot of money in this war? Classical win-win situation.

Blackwater should be the fuck out of iraq.  They get in the way of the Marine Corps and Army, cause to many problems, are overpaid and undertrained.

let's not forget that they answer to no one and there seems to be no one legally responsible for disciplining them if stuff gets out of hand.

They can't be privately sued because they're part of the "total force"
and they can't be tried by the military because they're private contractors.

Mercenary free-for-all!

Thought: the BIP is inherently a post-technology idea.

The concept that there is stuff outside our means of perception can only be verified if there is a way to prove there is stuff out outside our perception.

Sure, if you're talking about the BIP in terms of perception. But the metaphor is also about things like opinions. Escape your current opinions and conclusions and you'll have to replace them with new ones.

So it's only after developing technology that lets us perceive things our physical body can't, that the BIP can be thought about with any sort of "truth".

I think we've already discussed the trap of talking about the BIP as a metaphor for physical reality. Because although there are tons of things in my immediate physical reality I am not aware of (like the temperature of my shoes, some crap in my peripheral vision, infra-red light), most of them aren't that important.

So our current understanding of Discordia, or BIP, or whatever the hell you call it, couldn't possibly have existed 1000 years ago, because some might have talked about sights you can't see, or sounds you can't hear, but there was no way of proving it.

Mm, I don't think you need any technology to wonder about whether trees make noise when they fall and no one's around to hear it. I think the Black Iron Prison metaphor could still be made, but it would sound different.

So wait, are we trying to help you so you'll go away, or stick around?

*is confused*

Both.

He is currently Schroedinger's Scrote, if you will. The longer we can trap him in that bizarre state, the crazier he will slowly become, until he just explodes.

fixed to match what I thought it said at first

The irony wasn't lost.
BUT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

We're in the runup to the annual celebration of the birth of jehova's favourite bastard. Maybe a new ep will help dust off the nad cancer of creative block that's been afflicting me since I broke the habit of a lifetime and started actually earning my monthly wage.

yeah I recall the last episode fizzling 'cause you said you aimed too high. Said it would take a LOT of effort to produce. Maybe you should focus on something shorter and smaller?

I posted a lot of silly ideas at your board for you to film. GET ON IT!

This guy is turning into a tree.

This is some straaaange stuff

[used to be]

I was wondering where you'd went, p3nt.



Do something creative



you used to be* quite noted for that

and you miss that, huh?


dust off your camera
fire up photoshop
fire up Final Cut Pro (or whatever)
and DO something, damnit!

If you want to plug back in to the STFUPID cabal, the best medicine I can think of is to make something cool and to want to show it off.

Memory is short. There is no time to rest on the laurels of past accomplishments.








*emphasis added to rile you up

An Etch-A-Sketch was hanging out in a club.
A Lite-Brite and an Easy Bake oven come and sit next to him.
They lay out a few hits of Cocaine on the table.
The Etch-A-Sketch becomes visibly disturbed.
