I will never use maths in real life, for I do not count things, check the time, cook, buy things, or read maps.

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 00:33:22

i think it's just a smartass way of saying 'this scoring system is less straightforward than i was expecting'

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 00:34:12

although that is not a very complicated scoring system

tennis has a much weirder one

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 00:35:07

Glad to see Dusty's home and safe, Vriska.

Vriska · 2015-09-19 00:43:18

Thank you. So am I.

I'll feel even better once her recovery period is over and she's able to get back to normal completely again.

Calica · 2015-09-19 00:45:21

how's the cone of shame treating her

Vriska · 2015-09-19 00:55:51

She is not happy with it, and keeps trying to wiggle out of it.

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 00:57:12

aww. i am not surprised, though!

how long does she need to keep it on for?

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:05:36

Let's disrupt education by bringing dark sarcasm IN the classroom.

Vriska · 2015-09-19 01:07:16

She's supposed to wear it for ten days.

we don't need that

Obā-san · 2015-09-19 01:09:23

dark sarcasm is better than new textbooks that cost a hundred bucks a pop and have no new information in them

Fossilmaiden · 2015-09-19 01:10:14

Darkasm?

The judge wrote on and then he folded the ledger shut and laid it to one side and

pressed his hands together and passed them down over his nose and mouth and placed

them palm down on his knees.

Whatever exists, he said. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists

without my consent.

He looked about at the dark forest in which they were bivouacked. He nodded toward

the specimens he'd collected. These anonymous creatures, he said, may seem little or

nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath

yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the

existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he

be properly suzerain of the earth.

What's a suzerain?

A keeper. A keeper or overlord.

Why not say keeper then?

Because he is a special kind of keeper. A suzerain rules even where there are other

rulers. His authority countermands local judgements.

Toadvine spat.

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:12:06

The judge placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his inquisitor. This is my

claim, he said. And yet everywhere upon it are pockets of autonomous life. Autonomous.

In order for it to be mine nothing must be permitted to occur upon it save by my

dispensation.

Toadvine sat with his boots crossed before the fire. No man can acquaint himself with

everthing on this earth, he said.

The judge tilted his great head. The man who believes that the secrets of the world are

forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will

erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the

thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the

world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms

of his own fate.

I dont see what that has to do with catchin birds.

The freedom of birds is an insult to me. I'd have them all in zoos.

That would be a hell of a zoo.

The judge smiled. Yes, he said. Even so.

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-09-19 01:17:19

Quoting Blood Meridian and everything. Who's the tool that's got your jimmies rustled, Odradek?

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-09-19 01:19:45

*looks up Peter Thiel*

Yeah, he sounds like an asshole.

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:20:04

Peter Thiel, founder of Pay Pal and noted libertarian would-be godking.

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:20:18

He gives a lot of money to Eliezer Yudkowsky.

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:20:34

And seasteading.

Lots of seasteading money.

Odradek · 2015-09-19 01:24:40

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-09-19 01:28:10

Well, yeah, I looked him up. He sounds like a pretentious dickweed.

Now, have you vented your spleen sufficiently? I get that this dude is more worthy of rage than a lot of better known people, but let's not turn the page into your private rantspace.

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 01:28:26

Good.

I like the proposal that article is making.

Vriska · 2015-09-19 01:41:56

I want to pull the cats out of the screen and snuggle them.

Dusty has been given snuggles the best she could with the cone of shame and everything. She purred at me. Then she decided to go under the bed again. Hopefully she will come out on her own.

Gonna head off for the night, not sure how much sleep I will get though since I'll be wondering about Dusty.

Princess Alice · 2015-09-19 02:03:08

I'll probably watch this week's Steven Universe when I get home

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-09-19 02:05:56

Good to hear that your cat's okay, Ozzy.

Toolsie · 2015-09-19 02:23:17

I feel like shit.

Not sure what is worse: the lack of sleep or the shitty diet.

Possibly both.

Toolsie · 2015-09-19 02:23:35

God, I am burning up.

Imipolex G · 2015-09-19 02:26:07

sleep more and eat better?

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 02:26:22

You're running a temperature?

Toolsie · 2015-09-19 02:32:52

I've got a bit of a fever, but I've just been feeling so mentally shit over the last few weeks that its all caught up to me.

Guess because I often lay awake wondering what's the point.

Zeether · 2015-09-19 02:37:56

YOU ASK IF I CARE FAM

Toolsie · 2015-09-19 02:43:43

*hugs*

Going to spend the weekend looking after myself and making sure that I do fix my sleeping pattern and do feel good about myself.

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 02:46:33

That's a good plan. i wish you the best of luck.

Any grammar nerds around?

I have a professor who likes to remind us that certain assignments are to be done "in pen"

And...that phrasing seems odd to me?

Surely it'd be more natural to say "in ink"...

I used to get told I couldn't do assignments in pen when I was little...they insisted you use #2 pencils for everything.

Tachyon · 2015-09-19 02:52:39

when i was a young particle my schoolteachers sometimes got annoyed with me for writing in pencil when the work was supposed to be in pen

i was just scared of making a mistake, you couldn't erase biro (i didn't have tip-ex handy)
