marvel's biggest bone-liner

[patriotclock]

i made these two threads in reception desk of stuff that used to be on the site but has been missing a few years. Maybe not my place to have done so but i hope im not stepping on toes having done it. Any chance on getting them pinned?

looking at that list of registry names I contend that P clocks are the best clocks ever. Pepsi, pineapple, pirate, patriot (), peyote, pop tart, phantom cat. what a squad tbh

you know who has two thumbs and hates programming in Haskell?



someone else, I lost my thumbs in a tragic shark farming accident

[Slurpee]

also, I appreciate your responses to my grousing about stocks, Grey and Ren, I hope my flippancy didn't suggest otherwise
always happy to be edified about things that make me feel stupid
except Haskell, screw you Haskell

there was a clock who like programmed an entire phone network for some company and spend 16 hours a day working on it then got fired for coming to work late even though he also stayed late, worked from home, and basically built the company's profit engine by himself




you should ask him for some valuable experience nuggets

Gorgeous pic, grey- did you take that?

[RobClock]

I opened the image and seen that it’s from wikipedia


Still nice

[GreyClock]

Yeah, no. I was looking up Chesapeake Bay on Wikipedia.

I think if I've said it before, but pictures like that (not specifically nice sunsets or whatever, just particular pictures of nature with some undefinable quality (like in this case it's the vague, forested headland on the horizon, in combination with the colors and shitty compression that make it look like a sea of boiling iron)) make me want to do something. I have no idea what. Shit my pants? Cry myself to death? Rip all my skin off? I dunno.

I couldn't remember the term I was looking for, in association with this painting:


It's the sublime.

Schopenhauer came up with the following categories:
    Feeling of Beauty â€" Light is reflected off a flower. (Pleasure from a mere perception of an object that cannot hurt observer).
    Weakest Feeling of Sublime â€" Light reflected off stones. (Pleasure from beholding objects that pose no threat, objects devoid of life).
    Weaker Feeling of Sublime â€" Endless desert with no movement. (Pleasure from seeing objects that could not sustain the life of the observer).
    Sublime â€" Turbulent Nature. (Pleasure from perceiving objects that threaten to hurt or destroy observer).
    Full Feeling of Sublime â€" Overpowering turbulent Nature. (Pleasure from beholding very violent, destructive objects).
    Fullest Feeling of Sublime â€" Immensity of Universe's extent or duration. (Pleasure from knowledge of observer's nothingness and oneness with Nature).

While it is overpowering, it's not exactly turbulent. It's quite serene even. Still, there's something pleasurable I guess, in a sadomasochistic sense. I don't really think the threat level of the objects come into play. Like one picture of a benign, empty field could invoke these feelings, while a second picture of a lava tornado (?) could not.

I don't 100% remember, just that it was someone active on the discord. I'm thinking one of those cool long-haired folk like Soup or Peach but that's just a feeling more than me actually remembering

[VCRClock]

I have yet to hear one, good, real reason why I can't call MY company "Sunc**t Farms."

Slurpee potpie. my four favorite things

[Slurpee]

it blows my mind how, after where the buffalo roam and fear and loathing in las vegas, neither bill murray nor johnny depp ever quite shook off hunter s thompson's mannerisms

like if it was just johnny depp it'd be like 🙄 sure, johnny...
but to this day they both (for instance) do that thing where sometimes you just mutter a string of meaningless syllables and it... may or may not be on the way to actually saying words
I think he really was just that indelible of a presence

I have no idea what made me think of this
