Discussions on immortality fictional and irl always brings out some interesting/funny/bizzare opinions
The people who say they would choose to be immortal despite/because no one else getting to be are so strange. Ignoring the weirdness of being completely cool with always outliving everyone you ever loved no matter what, you are only going to enjoy a few tens or hundreds of millennia of being a super genius immortal scholar amoungst mortal men, but then spend billions of years living like Gollum in a cave.
a cosplay photo so old it was taken on actual film (which explains the streaks from my scanner) and the con we were at doesnโt even exist anymore. it was around 13 years ago actually now that I think about it.
i have been looking for this picture for YEARS and itโs finally back on my dashโฆ.wow
saw this post and couldnt like it cus i guess im blocked by them but honestly this is a hilarious way to find out
Fantastical beings.
My brother had lost the right to mock my deeply unwise vending machine purchase because he's spending his weekend driving to Iowa to buy a 1954 Cadillac limousine.
He doesn't have an explanation for this other than the fact that it's cool. And honestly, that's a pretty compelling argument
Oh good, he's named it.
He got her and she's gargantuan
THE BIG is home!!
Update: brother says: tell your internet people- Iโve been making the car shiny and it is COOL.
He's correct. This is excellent.
The new air ride tank has shown up for THE BIG, and as is tradition it has been labelled appropriately
And a foggy morning in the garage has resulted in some textures!
the student said, "i'm reading a zen buddhist cookbook. with no recipes." and the teacher replied, "ah, dogen's instructions for the cook, written in 1237?" "yeah," said the student, "it's saying not to let rats fall into the rice pot"
letting rats fall into the rice pot violates the buddhist concept of nonviolence, ahimsa. and this is one of the more dauntingly advanced cookbooks i've ever seen
ingredients: 1 grain of dust.
step 1 turn the Wheel of Reality within the grain of dust
Oh I see what you mean!
I felt like I was keeping up here:
A rich buttery soup is not better as such than a broth of wild herbs. In handling and preparing wild herbs, do so as you would the ingredients for a rich feast, wholeheartedly, sincerely, clearly.
But then I realise the very next sentence that Iโm not even remotely on their level:
When you serve the monastic assembly, they and you should taste only the flavour of the Ocean of Reality , the Ocean of unobscured Awake Awareness, not whether or not the soup is creamy or made only of wild herbs.
Thereโs a lot I donโt know about soup.
WAIT
I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"
I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA
It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.
Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.
Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like
I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully
puffin season is upon us very soon!
