  • My dreams exceed my real life
    The word nihilism, appropriately enough, does not mean anything.
  • I feel really ill.
  • I am continuing to watch agents of shield
  • everything is suddenly rather laggy on my computer and it's really stressing me out

    That's an interesting way to make potatoes. I should try it.

    Also, the way the guy says things like "good eatin'" and "that's gud" is rather charming.
    That looks really good. I'll have to try that too. Also, that video was super relaxing to me to watch for some reason. I'll have to remember that channel.

    https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1218267612 Math nerds are incapable of human empathy and should be killed.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Really though, no one would become a math nerd unless they had no ability to feel the higher emotions.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i can 100% picture myself arriving at an opinion like that, if i had a math and physics education and had not taken any classes on Freudian or poststructuralist theory

    i think that would very very likely be my opinion, i recognize the author's voice and it resonates with me

    Yes, what i just said was in fact my opinion of that review.

    Sorry.

    well maybe i just have shit empathy then

    I don't make excuses for people who want to kill you

    i don't feel empathized with.

    For goodness' sake Odradek.  You are obsessed with this math nerd thing and it doesn't make sense anymore.  Being confused when Lacan says the imaginary unit represents the erectile organ does not make one a covert nazi, or a nazi-in-the-making.

    For the record, Intellectual Impostures is a bad book written from a position of ignorance.

    Disagreeing with this point does not make one a bad human being.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    True but that's not where this ends
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    They're on a bad intellectual path, ok.
  • This shit is gonna be my fuckin' gotterdammerung.

    No Opera I did not mean to type Rotterdam, wrongheadedness, or microelectronics when I typed "gotterdammerung"
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Honestly wrt "people who want to kill you" i feel like what they're saying there is far more hostile towards critical/lit theory than it is to philosophy anyway

    Sokal was attacking a particular kind of French intellectual, not the entire span of Hume, Ryle, Voltaire, Kant, Austin, Strawson, etc. etc. through the centuries

    So if anything they want to kill me, though i didn't see a 'and these people must die for their wrongness' in that review
  • No Opera I did not mean to type Rotterdam, wrongheadedness, or microelectronics when I typed "gotterdammerung"
    this is an impressive rap lyric

    It does if you are consciously maintaining that ignorance because the alternative is admitting you're not a god-king.
  • Hudmo's Beats 1 mix was good.

    If iTunes didn't slow my computer to a crawl I might actually listen to these live.

    i don't actually think they're doing that

    i think that would imply a level of self-awareness that these people do not generally have

    No they want all challengers to their omnipotence to die a horrid death.

    you could like

    take it apart and make it rhyme

    "rotterdam", "wrongheadedness" and "gotterdammerung" all seem like rhythmically interesting words

    i think this is a bizarre generalization and i hope you are joking.
  • and why do raps have to rhyme anyways?
  • naney said:

    because it's part of the artform.

    People have done "free verse" rap before (including some very talented rhymers like Doseone and Black Thought) but it's not very interesting, at least I don't think it is.

    For me, playing within the craft's constraints is like 90% of the fun of rapping, anything else is incidental, which is why I don't find much value in artists like say, Drake.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I complain about people shitting on me, and you all tell me I deserve it, and then I complain about deserving it, and you all tell me it's not happening.

    I can't win.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    You don't *deserve* it.  It's not about you, it's about them.

    Man, fuck that shit
    I'll be out spending all this money
    While you're sitting round wondering
    Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
    Made it from the bottom
    Now when you see me I'm stunning,
    And all of my cars start with a push of a button
    Telling me the chances I blew up
    Or whatever you call it,
    Switch the number to my phone
    So you never could call it,
    Don't need my name on my shirt,
    You can tell it I'm ballin.
    Swish, what a shame could have got picked
    Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
    So you talk about who you see at the top
    Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.
    Phantom pulled up valet open doors
    Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
    Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
    That little piece of shit with you.

    that is what Eminem does and it is both his greatest strength as an MC and the reason that so much of his music is horrifically boring.

    If you were really good you could make them rhyme in an interesting way I'm sure but what I was getting at with that jab is that Eminem tends to inflect everything in the same nondescript shout. Sometimes it works (see his verse on "Speedom" by Tech N9ne) but usually it just ruins whatever beat he's on.

    was this intended as a counterexample or did you just really wanna post lyrics from "Payphone" (a song I have still never actually heard).
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    like fuckin

    this is frustrating because it's like

    i'm not saying what you think i'm saying
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I just wanted to post the lyrics from payphone, because not much of it rhymes.

    It's not a counterexample
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i think well placed internal rhymes & half-rhymes can work, personally

    btw
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Don't mind me, I'm just annoyed with my existence.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    but Odradek i think this is important and the crux of the issue to me

    some people have a very boring mechanistic way of thinking and are ignorant about shit that's meaningful to you and are convinced they know it all so they don't bother to expand their horizons

    they are not accustomed to thinking in metaphysical, epistemological or self-reflexive terms, or attempting to understand people with wildly different backgrounds

    they may have difficulties with their empathy in any case

    they might be very sad, very boring people, and with the wrong influences they could fall into prejudiced modes of thinking

    but they're not monsters
