The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
last night Pinecone came home from seeing some friends, in the following state:
disheveled, smelling of cigarettes, pot and alcohol, carrying a hookah (we do not own a hookah) and a strange print of what looks like an old miniature painting of a little boy and girl in victorian clothing, the boy looking up the girl's skirt while she does laundry
so far I have received no explanation of any of these things and also I only got 5hrs of sleep because we were talking about trust as a concept til really late
that's a very..specific image (the painting I mean).

You know, when doing database work, it helps to extract your data in the correct format.
Jeez, I am so not focused today.

To be fair, I'm also waiting for the change review board to approve a bulk data update I need to do to make sure the faculty and staff's titles, departments, and managers are all correct in AD/LDAP ahead of the school year.

Invisibles. Allegedly an author of a sci-fi novel sued them for stealing the concept, as well. The Matrix has a fascinating history behind the scenes.
Didn't that author also sue Terminator and some other franchise, saying they were all part of the same idea?

Very little of The Matrix is original but it is the first exposure to many of those concepts to the wide mainstream, and it presented them with a slick-as-fuck look and feel that was the best of the late 90s.

I wish I wasn't a disturbing gross pile of flesh so I too could have one of these sex lives
First off, you aren't a gross pile of flesh - at least, not more than any of the rest of us are.
Second - trust me when I say there are people into everything out there. And I do mean EVERYTHING. *shudders* the things I've seen.
Yeah I know that second bit
As to the first
Well,
Warning: self-loathing
A lifetime of therapy has only been somewhat effective in convincing me otherwise and I'm pretty consistently reminded by things like mirrors and my own senses and just general... stuff
Dysphoria and dysmorphia and generalized depression are fucking awful.
And of course since I feel like my body is worthless and gross I have great difficulty motivating myself to take care of it and that is just a vicious cycle
Right now I'm stuck in a limbo (due to social, economic, and health issues) where I can't do what I need to do to physically turn into the me that I need to be to feel like myself and it is slowly, quietly killing me

... sounds like a strange game of Texas Hold 'Em and someone could call the hand so they put up a hooka and a vintage painting.
So I guess you all own a Hookah now. Congrats.

Whelp was posting on the crazy counties of Denver metro, might as well finish.
First a county map of the Denver Metro area.
Denver actually owns most of the water rights on this map and also a few places like Winter Park fall under Denver as well because of historical reasons. Mostly Denver bought shit up in the early 1900s.
This is a neat map of just the neighborhoods in Denver County.
You can see holes in the county where other counties sneak in.
Also Union Station should be called Lower Downtown/LoDo. Who calls it Union Station?
County lines across the US should probably be re-drawn, because these days they make zero sense and populations have certainly shifted.
There are too many counties, period. They were drawn in the days when transportation was done by horse buggy and people didn't want to live more than a day's ride by horse buggy away from the county seat to vote. Why does Iowa need 99 counties now? It doesn't. Most of them can't properly maintain county duties because the population bases are too small. Blocks of 'em should be combined, but whenever you find podunk tiny places, you find fiefdoms of petty local lords whose families basically own political positions forever (the county commissioner or sheriff or county seat mayor or whatever getting passed down the generations, with each one holding the position for decades until they drop dead or let their kid take over) and they mouth-foam and scream and cuss if their tiny pathetic power could be taken from them.
Urinal at my work bathroom smells overpoweringly of jizz. I'm sure it's just whatever cleaning product they last used, but it is still super gross.
Ew.
Yeah there have been times where I know for a fact I've smelled jizz in the work restroom, but never have the courage to begin to wonder who busted a wank at work.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
My only caffeine is a cup of tea a day and the occasional coke. I've never had coffee.
Any particular reason why you haven't ever had coffee (have you ever tried it?)
I love the smell of breweing coffee, but hate the taste. Growing up, my dad and sister were all about coffee (espressos mostly) but I never really got into it. Don't really need it to get going in the morning so never felt the need to try and like it.
Growing up the best part of having to sit through boring ass church was the coffee and donuts afterwards. I started drinking coffee when I was 10 if not earlier.

I'm jealous, we both work too early to snuggle in the morning, and get home too late to feel like that or sex, it's sad.

Massachusetts peeps is John Harvards a good place for lunch
You gotta understand that there's a western half of Massachusetts that has no idea what the hell that is. It's an uncharted territory that Boston is too scared and superstitious to explore.

I mean I have so much gay stuff to do you're really going to have to see to this before you can get to your own.

This was the location of the sysadmin orgy last night. The cleaning product will never get the smell out. This is your life now.
but they're listening to every word I say
i know a guy who was in great physical shape, breakdancer etc., who drank three rockstars a day, and he had a fkin heart attack
now there's no direct evidence those are related, but he's a postdoc medical researcher and he decided to stop drinking them whatsoever
so

I'm sort of skeptical about any claims like this
The Matrix had a ton of very obvious influences and it seems suspect to claim that it was copying any one source in particular
a solid tyrannus post

Not sure if this is because 'doing too many drugs' or 'doing too few drugs'

Whichever is the one that's keeping you from being your best self. Namaste.

I am fairly certain I could bullshit a reason involving filtering processes, if you'd like.
But I'd be making it all up.
Some things can't be explained by science.
Somehow it's both
What is the term for when you realize something you thought was just an act was less of an act than you thought?
You are riding high on probably a shit load of dopamine and other chemical cocktails from physical contact/sex/cuddles/bonding behaviors.
1) great perspective practice
2) open a gateway to a hell dimension of work and pain
Poe's Inversion?
I'm fairly certain that the documentary "Planet of the Apes" explains this.
Hi I'm Bowen, I make jokes a lot.
