I notice that Major Briggs appears to be in attendance.

there's a guy at mine who is bad about this, he also stomps the shit out of the treadmill during his warmup.

the other day was using the lat pulldown machine with only like 30 pounds, and just hammering it. like pulling down so fast that the weights almost got hang time or hit the top.

this is worse than the panopticon because there'd be a machine mind fixed on every cell instead of just the possiblity of being observed.

 

I created an account and am signed in on element, what's a good way to get the feel for things?

Any room recommendations?

hey so let's say I was good a calculus but never branched out into proofs or the more heady math (number theory, abstract, topology, etc.). any books you'd recommend?

in my experience this is the standard reaction from anyone older than me in response to a requested change in behaviour.

 

What I mean by favorite here is

"what I often find myself greatly admiring when I notice it's done really well"

gonna go with Director of Photography (cinematographer). with emphasis on the photography.

Some things I've watched recently that illustrate this role.

  • Saltburn, great use of vertical space with the 4:3 aspect ratio, lots of color and natural light. Summer is captured well.
  • Crash (1996), Lots of night scenes (always tough to get right), the setting looks appropriately dark, grimy, and mechanical.
  • Fight Club, also a (literally) dark film and looks great.
 

I noticed a trend in some online interview show recently where hosts ask guests to bark like a dog. I really bristle at that, it would be tough to convince me you don't want to just laugh at me.

I went to Ren Faire for the first time recently, and had a hard time picking an outift to wear because I didn't want to stand out as no-fun, or as being enthusiastic but failing in execution. once I was there of course it was easy to see what an appropriate outfit is.

anyone had similar experiences/thoughts? I realized that I'm averse to being intentionally silly.

it feels like I've had to work hard in my life to not be unintentionally silly or weird (masking), so situations that ask "hey, be weird" leave me very guarded at first.

 

And it's never expanded on. 1 block over there are just parking lots, strip malls, single family homes. So silly. It'll be packed on nice weekends but it's iLlEgAl To bUiLd anything else like it in town. Maybe the (likely powerful) chamber of commerce sees expansion as a threat to their wallets.

 

watching this movie from 1995 right now, it's pretty good. Iconic, even. CW: everything.

 

Note: I haven't watched this yet.

 

It's got a great soundtrack and pretty pleasant vibes. Probably be a mage or spellsword.

 

I just watched it and I gotta say it was pretty ok, maybe even good.

It's pacing is far more "TV" than Season 1 which feels like an 8 part film, and I was definitely bored through the middle 4 episodes, but overall I think it did have something to say that was well communicated.

Definitely pretty bleak though.

 

Does anyone know the one that goes:

no money for saving people we used it all for killing people

Thanks in advance

 

It's looking like my friend can only go through with a long term (at least 6 months) move overseas they've been working on if I take care of their cat.

I haven't offered this and am not particularly fond of this cat. I don't want to integrate another animal into my home.

Here's the kicker: the friend is a roommate so the cat already lives here (in their room).

Not sure what to do. Like I want my friend to get to go, but at what cost? I'm sure they'll resent it if I don't help, and I am ready for them to move out makima-think

But again I really don't like this cat very much, she's really unfriendly with our cat and dog.

I feel like it's unreasonable to not offer to help.
