    I'm not normally one for conspiracies, but what if Marcus Aurelius was just a huge dickhead, but since he was emperer he forbid anyone from saying anything bad about him, and just had someone ghost write Meditations to make him look good? And the reason he made his son emperor was because he was the only one he could trust to make sure no one wrote about what a shithead he was after he died...

  • The onset of catastrophe is not signaled by the sense of everything falling through the dark and ending in accidental death: everything, including a catastrophe, has a moment-by-moment structure, a structure that is beyond measurement or comprehension, that is maddeningly complex or must be conceived in quite another manner, one in which the degree of complexity can be articulated only in terms of images that seem impossible to conjure since time has slowed down to the point that the world has become indifferent to circumstances and various terrible preconditions have arrived at a perfect universal conclusion, that being because they are composed of intentions, because the moment is the result of unconscious choices, because a key doesn’t immediately fit into the ignition, because we do not start in third gear then move down to second but because we start in second and move into third as we move down the hill then turn onto a highway above the village, because the distance before us is like looking down a tunnel, because the greenery on the boughs still smells of morning dew, because of the death of a dog and someone’s badly executed maneuver when turning left, that is to say because of one missed choice or another, of more missed choices and still more missed choices ad infinitum, all those maddening had-we-but-known choices impossible to conceptualize because the situation we find ourselves in is complicated, determined by something that is in the nature of neither God nor the devil, whose ways are impenetrable to us and are doomed to remain so because choice is not simply a matter of choosing, but the result of that which might have happened anyway.

  • Problem with Monty Python jokes is that they're...sometimes, basically just contextless.

    Now, now that they've been made and are famous, people use them as cultural touchstones upon which to build other jokes.  Which do have context.

    But the original just doesn't feel very funny as is.
  • Monty python is funny you just have to watch the jokes which havent been rammed into the ground by every1
  • Monty Python's Flying Circus is probably my favorite live action television show.

    Which isn't saying much since I watch very few of them, but it's so.

    In any case, the jokes not having context is the joke a lot of the time. When Python wasn't doing satire, it was doing surrealism.
  • i recommend "Confuse A Cat" and "Silly Job Interview" as some good-ass python sketches

    Anyways, apparently Steven Universe is the, well, it's up there with Adventure Time and Regular SHow, and is probably the completing angle of that triangle.

    Either that, or it's the completing angle of the adventure-time and Gravity falls triangle.
    Seriously, I saw an episode of Steven Universe and loved it.  WHy is it not popular?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    Why?

    We like Gravity Falls and Adventure Time, and we like Regular Show.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Asking why is fruitless. It just is.

    Although for serious I love Steven Universe so much.

    what if

    1. you don't plan on having children?
    2. you simply refuse when the time comes?

    I feel like playing [Spec Ops: The Line] would murder my sanity, so I'm leaving it unredeemed even though I have a Steam key for it


    I'll probably burn it off in a giveaway or a sale or something
    I keep on hearing that it's basically like a deconstruction of the military FPS or something

    not sure if i should play it since i actually haven't played other military FPSes
    As someone who hasn't played military FPSes, it also works as a critique of the glorification of militarism and the way heroism is portrayed in media. Also has some hella effective psychological horror. And as long as you get the general idea of military shooters (US as the hero more or less, black and white morality dressed up in superficial trappings of ambiguity, etc.) the critique of that genre in particular will still make sense anyway.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I thought the white phosphourus sscene works better if you've played an FPS and know how certain segments work, but sure.
  • Worked absolutely fine for me just because of how much I did not want to do it. I was hoping for it to be a cutscene, but nope, I have to participate in a damn minigame to do this horrible thing. I have to get good at it.

    The difference between Modern Warfare and The Line is that The Line doesn't let you skip the scary part.

    Yep. It's been used pretty extensively in various modern wars/conflicts.
