Oh no I'm kinda crossfaded and this rules.

Listening to Anthem For No State while considering my nightly sublinguals and remembering a time when I had tolerated my dad and stepmom for a while and had a long talk with dad about my hormones and then she stopped me on my way out and was asking me to come visit him on a certain date and I was exhausted and, as if I was lighting a cigarette (something I've literally never done), I pulled out my special 3-chambered circular case, looks like a makeup kit, I bought it with her on a day trip to the beach, I flip that open and I take out a tiny teal pill and I "subtly" place it under my tongue behind my hand, she can't see if it's behind my hand, but also I've told her everything anyway.  Did she notice?  I mean, she must have.  But she didn't react.  Good.  Good? Certainly tolerable.

I accessed the Conv buffer and answered the question which I'd had an answer to from her 3rd syllable.  "Yeah sure, I can come by!"

It'd been a long fucking day and I needed to remind me of me.  I didn't want to rub it in her face I just wanted to assert myself [when I didn't feel myself.  being with them makes me feel like nothing.  the way I used to feel]

That's an... an old memory from Halloween [oh, because I brought up some pics lately and I actually liked my ambushed smile. my face].
Don't get crossfaded, or at least don't post this way.
unless it's funny

sometimes you tryina do something and it's givin you trouble and you be like

c'mon now, help a brother out

and it's like

then you go

so i guess i gots to cut a bitch huh

and you do

[Egan_BW]

"Oh you're gonna be like that, huh. Well, good think I have scissors!"

Can hardly imagine how frustrated I'd be if I were on the road or something and couldn't open something because no scissors and the friggin notch is cut above where the bag is sealed for some reason.

If you have a fair 6-sided die and are trying to roll a 1, if you roll the die 10 times there’s basically a 1 in 6 chance you will have seen no ones.

I love the somewhat unintuitive nature of probability!

[dragdeler]

Ah the most useless branch of mathematics, accept this 10/6 before I slap you.

[Rolan7]

I don't understand biology outside of certain very specific aspects, and even then as a layperson.  However:
What algorithm thought nasal congestion was a good idea?  "Oh no, we're inhaling irritants!  Time to stop breathing through the filtered intake, let's only breathe through the unfiltered uncomfortable intake!"

Throat: "Don't worry, we're working on a more permanent solution"

[Frumple]

It makes sense if you believe in both intelligent design and that the creator god(s) were malicious hatebeings that want things to suffer, hah.

... without that, you just have to occasionally remind yourself evolution doesn't believe in "good ideas", just whatever ideas keep you(r species) breeding without killing you (all) in sufficient numbers. It's entirely possible some significant amount of congestion is actively maladaptive, just not maladaptive enough to get selected against.

[Rolan7]

In a discussion about perception and transness and consciousness, Myst came up:

it "birthed" such an old idea.  The concept that a world exists because we write it down.

Edit: Did it exist before we wrote it?  Maybe/yes.  Does that say things about our own reality?  Potentially.

[McTraveller]

Getting precariously close to “what does it mean for a wavefunction to collapse” territory there.

What “turns a possibility, into reality?”

[Rolan7]

Indeed!

And I say it exists.  But it doesn't exist because we wrote it down.
It always existed.  It doesn't matter that we conceived it.

Though, also, the fact that we conceived it is of utmost importance to us.  Now we know it.

Edit: To conceive is "to give birth". But I think it's more literally "to create something together".  Con (together) ceive (manifest, sorta kinda)

[scriver]

Maybe oral historising counts as writing it down? And cave paintings too?

[dragdeler]

conceive comes from concevoir comes from con capere.... it gets so roots it's hard make sense of but I think it's whatever gave birth to "capici?!" with an intensifier because de-per-con-ex can also simply serve to intensify a verb

[dragdeler]

this is sparta

It's dreadurday my dudes, and today I propose to you a new programming standard:

Horse code:

When compiling your code into binaries, an additional encoding and decoding process is necessary to transform it into 'horse code.' In horse code, characters and strings are stored as Morse code, where 0 represents a short beep and 1 represents a long beep. While the binaries still include standard instructions and functionality, any text data within the code is encoded using Morse code.
