mis-placed parachutes slightly, and now my craft is descending upside-down
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
brb rocket-tower embedded perfectly vertically into the earth like a nail
<whitequark>
alexgordon: well at least the comments are *sane*
<whitequark>
not caustic as I half-expected it to be
<alexgordon>
also what's wrong with vaginas?
<whitequark>
not everyone finds irregular weirdly looking lumps of flesh inherently attractive, I guess
<whitequark>
plus also, there's fucking stereotypes
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol I jsut got 57 science (a lot, for my current place in the game) for a failed launch
<purr>
lol
<alexgordon>
some vaginas are not nice. some are nice. ...
<glowcoil>
hi alexgordon
<whitequark>
which are so bad right now that people are seriously doing vaginoplasty or w/e, basically an operation to make them less gross
<glowcoil>
hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<whitequark>
which is
<whitequark>
insane
<alexgordon>
glowcoil: current topic: vaginas
<whitequark>
seriously cosmetic plastic surgery should die
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
'cuz I just happened to land on the *runway* biome, completely intact. And used all my science gear on the runway, at ground-level.
<whitequark>
waste of money, time and talent
<alexgordon>
whitequark: oh yeah vaginoplasty is weird
<alexgordon>
it's like boob jobs, arguably makes it look worse
<whitequark>
it's not weird, it's borderline abusive
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
even
<whitequark>
or not borderline. when society makes you feel that horrible about your body that you voluntarily go and cut it up
<whitequark>
what the fuck is up
<alexgordon>
whitequark: could say the same about tattoos
<whitequark>
alexgordon: not sure I follow?
<alexgordon>
you can't, that's the point :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
er, society making you feel bad about your body also makes people go fucking *run*, non-stop, dying and gasping for breath and in immense pain, for *hours*. For dozens of miles.
<whitequark>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I heard running is quite enjoyable
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I think cosmetic surgery is a lot more sane than the year of self-abuse necessary to do that.
<alexgordon>
whitequark: girls shouldn't mutilate themselves, and people shouldn't get cheap tattoos. Neither one is abusive IMO, just misguided
<whitequark>
ELLIOTTCABLE: besides, what surgery do you mean here?
<whitequark>
if you meant like, liposuction, it doesn't work that way. only way to get less fat is to eat less. Δfat = intake - spending. *shrug*
<purr>
¯\(º_o)/¯
<whitequark>
alexgordon: why do people get cheap tattoos?
<alexgordon>
whitequark: beats me
<alexgordon>
impulsiveness
<alexgordon>
lack of taste
<whitequark>
it's also like. plastic surgery is motivated negatively ("I wanna look less gross"), tattoos are additive ("I wanna look more cool")
<whitequark>
I think that's important
<whitequark>
but may also be complete bullshit
<joelteon>
i love reddit
<joelteon>
guess not everyone finds irregular weirdly shaped chunks of meat agreeable
<joelteon>
well no i don't
<alexgordon>
whitequark: wanting to look less gross is a better reason than wanting to look more cool
<whitequark>
alexgordon: I dunno, "less gross" usually means "more like arbitrary standard dictated by whatever's fashionable"
Sgeo has joined #elliottcable
<whitequark>
which should just go and die
<whitequark>
"more cool" at least implies some shred of self-determination
<alexgordon>
cosmetic surgery was developed for fixing up injured soliders -- who presumably wanted to look less gross, before they realised they could make a crapton of money selling it to insecure people
<whitequark>
or well, that's what I mean by it
<whitequark>
alexgordon: injured people are another thing. when you cannot perform basic tasks without pain or not at all, that's a fucking good reason for surgery
<whitequark>
but don't fix what ain't broken
<alexgordon>
whitequark: I don't mean for injury, just for people missing ears or whatever
<whitequark>
people missing ears definitely had some sort of injury
<whitequark>
I mean, unless you know something about people that I don't
<alexgordon>
hahaha right but the procedure isn't functional
<devyn>
whitequark: and yeah, I saw that /r/askmen thread
<devyn>
I can relate to it :/
<devyn>
but things are getting better
<devyn>
I'm realizing things
<joelteon>
me too
<devyn>
> It's a crap shoot trying to find someone you're compatible with. 7 billion people on this planet to wade through, most of whom you'll never meet so if you're holding out for that 1 perfect person, you're SOL. Especially if you don't take a good hard look at why you think you deserve the high caliber person you feel you need in your life. What do you bring to the table?
<devyn>
been thinking about that sort of thing
<devyn>
I definitely don't think I want someone very different from me
<devyn>
which is why as I've said before my bar is pretty high
<devyn>
I need things I can relate with
<devyn>
lots of things
<devyn>
but another good thing that came out of that thread
<devyn>
that I've also been thinking about
<devyn>
is just how damaging the idea that you need a relationship is
<devyn>
because it leads to thinking that the only reason you're unhappy is because you don't have one
<devyn>
so all in all I don't think that thread was really all that depressing for me
<joelteon>
do I have someone ignored?
<joelteon>
hmmm
<joelteon>
ok no i don't
<devyn>
hmm?
<devyn>
is my soliloquy confusing you
<joelteon>
yes
<devyn>
:p
<joelteon>
it was
<joelteon>
no longer
<devyn>
I tend to write a lot
<devyn>
sorry
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<joelteon>
just wasn't sure if you were talking to someone or not
<joelteon>
no need to apologize
<devyn>
well
<devyn>
sorry, I'm Canadian
<joelteon>
yeah i know
<devyn>
I really honestly don't know whether that was actually odd for you
<devyn>
was it?
<devyn>
because here
<devyn>
it makes sense to apologize for things like that
<joelteon>
no it wasn't odd
<devyn>
lol okay
<joelteon>
people apologize for stuff like that all the time
<devyn>
good
<devyn>
making sure.
<joelteon>
i don't, which confuses some people
<joelteon>
my social skills
<joelteon>
are not great
<devyn>
well
<devyn>
I don't really have a lot of trouble with people I know
<devyn>
but when I meet someone new
<devyn>
I'm either way too fucking psyched to meet them or really awkward
<devyn>
sometimes both
<devyn>
lol
<joelteon>
when i meet new people i'm usually not awkward at all
<joelteon>
makes me think of the neuroscientist who found out he was a psychopath
<joelteon>
and i'm sure 98% of the males on reddit who read that were like
<joelteon>
"oh, i'm probably a psychopath"
<joelteon>
afterwards
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<joelteon>
incredibly depressing
<devyn>
honestly if I didn't have such great friends who are happy to argue with my emotions
<devyn>
and tell me what's wrong about what I'm doing
<devyn>
or thinking
<devyn>
I'd probably consider therapy
<joelteon>
i can't believe i just dug straight down in minecraft
<devyn>
you're a dum dum

I just realized I have to do dumb MS office hw
<joelteon>
rats
<devyn>
brb like maybe 20 minutes
<joelteon>
the company i work for has an official partnership with office 365 :/
<devyn>
what is that
<joelteon>
it's like the new office suite
<joelteon>
plus some "online tools"
<devyn>
btw I hate the ribbon UI
<devyn>
did MS fix that in 2013
<devyn>
I forget
<devyn>
doesn't seem like it
<devyn>
sigh
<joelteon>
the biggest problem i have with working w/ godaddy is the fact that we market specifically to the kind of people that buy godaddy products
<joelteon>
no
<joelteon>
they did not
<devyn>
there are parts I like about it but the categorization is mostly too generic to be useful
<devyn>
it's not quite so bad, but sometimes it feels like they would be more aptly named Tab1, Tab2 etc.
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<devyn>
it's also inconsistent
<devyn>
horribly so
<devyn>
I'd much rather just do a lot of things from a context menu
<devyn>
but noooo

aaaaaand found my final ender eye
