[Urist Imiknorris]

We're scissors. The Whos are rock.

[Darvi]

Sharp as ever Urist.

>_>

<_<

phew *shot*

[Urist Imiknorris]

...He shot himself?

[Darvi]

Sharp as ever Urist.

Incredibly lame pun.

[Jackrabbit]

Irregardless

[grammarnazi]Seriously? I would have figured "regardless" would be more common, both because it's right and because it's shorter.[/grammarnazi]

You know why I use that word? Because I'm not constrained by the Man, man. I'm a free spirit and my soul needs to sing.

Sing in a nonstandard way.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I think you should go lay down

[Jackrabbit]

La la la la la le lu lu la la.

[Tellemurius]

you sound like those hippies up in Boulder, GTFO you LOSERS.

[Vector]

This thread has been completely derailed, and the last page of it looks like utter nonsense.

Can we please quit doing that or something?

[Jackrabbit]

I really don't know what more there is to say. But hey, the requests of those who contribute take precedence, so if you want to continue the thread as it was intended, I shall respond helpfully.

[Vector]

Yeah, I sort of feel that there's nothing to say, but at some point we were trying to keep back on derails--especially derails that had absolutely no connection to whatever was at hand.


@OP: I have those moments occasionally, but I raise your nihilism one existentialism and move on with my day.

[nbonaparte]

The universe is huge. It's fucking enormous. And it doesn't care about us. But nihilism doesn't have to mean insignificance. We are intelligent, we are able to look back at the universe. It's our job to give meaning. To appreciate what's around us for what it really is.

ninja'd by vector. nihilism -> existentialism, exactly.

[Urist Imiknorris]

We are nothing compared to the entire universe. But who gives a shit about the entire universe? "Here" and "now" have enough problems as is.

[Kusgnos]

I've gotten that feeling before, when looking at the stars. For some reason, seeing them up in the night sky as tiny pinpricks, and knowing that each pinprick has taken countless years to centuries to reach my eyes...it's a strangely intimidating thought. It's even stranger to think that though there may very well be life out there in other stars and other galaxies, in all likelihood we'll never come into contact because of the wide expanse of space.

Is there a word for this kind of emotion? Even saudade seems to fall short.

[Vattic]

I get that feeling when outdoors in strong wind. It's a feeling I enjoy.
