The inherent perfection of the immutable present, LSP. That which cannot be else but what it is is flawless, in its own sort of way.

E: Perhaps not pretty, but there is a gross difference between perfect and good.

you better not visit china then

Yeah. I don't wear clothes. Rock out with my sprawling single-man wall of wang out.

that was a reference to something else but okay

...that's just mental gymnastics

if something can't correct its flaws, we don't say it doesn't have flaws. it's almost like i have to dig up the transhumanist thread.

[Frumple]

More like it depends if you consider perfection to be immutability or infinite virtue. I personally tend to say they're different sorts, which is why I said a "sort" of flawless. Once a thing cannot be changed, it holds no flaws because it has nothing that can be improved -- it only has degrees of virtue, but that virtue is naught but what it is and in that sense, as great a virtue as it can be. I AM the I AM, as it were. So upon the arrival of the present comes the perfection of immutability -- it has achieved maximal virtue, so to speak.

That thing in the future, of course, can be changed and is flawed. Different sort of (lack of) perfection -- it lacks infinite virtue. A broken thing may be made whole (or many wholes, as it may be) by the present, but it is still broken in the future.

This is the sort of conception that enables a person to stare at a wall for several hours and see beauty. Which I've done a few times. Yes, it's mental gymnastics, but it's mental gymnastics that for a time allows one to glimpse an approximation of the platonic form of brute existence, in all its glory. The flesh of humankind is perfect in the same sense a wall is. It is that it is.

No comment.

Well, that descanlated quickly.

So, I decided to watch the original Spy Kids for the nostalgia, and then I got to Floop's song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMphtvvSo5w

Now that I'm older, this song is a lot of WTF. Though I suppose it fits him, as it shows us how childlike he is.

There is almost nothing on this week's to-do list. This is disturbing.

Do a Drunk Fortress turn!
You know you want to!

Been for almost a week with an internet speed of below 0.1mb/s. Kept calling the company so they can send a guy to swap the cable that another one of their staff determined to be completely fucked up. Up until this point, there has been no contact from this person who is supposed to do the job (who, per proper procedures) needs to call me to confirm the repair, and yet the connection is back to normal speed.

I think I have a case of psychic repairman here.

I always did wonder how drunk fortress works. Is there an required amount of alcohol you have to imbibe? What kind of alcohol does it have to be?

Nope. You just have to get drunk and record your alcoholic intake. Also, no backspace.

[Darvi]

Enough to be at least noticeable tipsy, iirc.

[majikero]

Can you even record your alcohol intake when you're drunk? Catch 22.
