Just heard the owner of the Italian restaurant on the opposite side of my street hanged himself. Not so sure about this I have seen some people lately there that walked out of their sportscars, with very wrong coats and hats, patting him on the cheek, the 'my boy' kind. Pure Sicilia at your door. Can't have been hs revenues, it's a pretty good restaurant that is almost always full
I have no idea. I haven't went to the doctor for it. It is just beating really weird and I am really short on breath.Quote:

Could use a new boat. I am a persona non grata at all harbours here I can't even enter them, ffs what good is having a boat if you are not going to have fun with it, but it isn't apreciated by the babyboomers who rule the place. They had their party and now want strict law&order for everyone. I really miss my boat. I had to sell it. Assholes.
In Wisconsin, there are tons of public lakes you can put a boat out on. Or are you talking a yacht?
Yeah but I had to sell it, I am literally not allowed to enter any harbour in Amersfoort. Something I can be secretly kinda proud off, at least I have something to boast with hehQuote:

One of the benefits of living in the country is that society has not deteriorated half as badly.

Not sure if anyone here enjoys reading comic books, but I just got the first 3 volumes of Alan Moore's "The Saga of Swamp Thing". USPS was nice enough to fold it in half and cram it into my mailbox though. Maybe in a week after it's had about 25 lbs on top of it I'll be able to dive in. More of a random rant than a random thought.
New Zealand accents are very sexy on women. Just saying.
The current state of entertainment is so bad that it is motivating me to invent a time machine so I can go back to a time when people could sing, make movies, and make video games. The crap that is excused as entertainment today makes me want to puke.
I disagree, all blockbusters are really entertaining, Hollywood has perfected it's formula, but arthouse-movies are thriving. With games you can't go wrong with the big titles, but there is an absolute wealth of indie-goodness and a dedicated modding community, gaming has never been better. Music, same. You can buy what the music industry wants you to buy, but thanks to the internet niche bands got a much bigger reach. We can watch, play and listen to what we like, creativity has been reclaimed, it's has never been better than right now.
Great. Got me an awesome waxcoat. In two days I scored three remarks of how awesome I look from Maroccan and afro streetkids, 100% gangster aparantly, or looking like the real thing. I am used to people thinking I am dangerous but geez
That's just the problem though Frags, they are following a formula. We are talking about art, not fast food. When you take a fast food approach to art, you get the crap Hollywood is turning out nowadays.Quote:

As far as music goes, I don't know what music you listen to, but when I turn on a Country music station I feel like smashing out my eardrums with an ice-pick. What the heck happened to the country music of the 90's and early 2000's? Now they think they just need to mention apple pie, drinking, trucks, or honkytonking to have their song counted as country music. There is no soul in modern music.
As far as video games go, look at Thief 4 and Deus Ex 3 and compare them to Deus Ex 1 and Thief I and II. There is no comparison. 90% of modern video games with the notable exception of simulators have been total garbage. The best game to come out in the last 3 years (DLC Quest) is a parody of how ridiculous modern video games are.
Quantity is not quality. And sorry, but I don't think there is plenty of gold. If you search really, really hard and endure all kinds of disappointment you will stumble across the odd good movie, song, or video game, but nothing amazing like in the 1920's-early 2000's. Entertainment has stopped being art that makes a profit and has turned completely into a scientific, cold, calculated money milking system. Art has gone to hell.Quote:

When it comes to games, be a good Vuk and go play Dishonored and Dark Souls, you will beat Dishonored pretty fast, but you will probably play it multiple times, and Dark Souls is going to make you cry (prepare to wut, prepare to be absolutily terrified) both no brainers for Thief fans, atmosphere-whores as we are.
Fact is, we are all in love with Tessa, really cute 21 year old girl that makes you bleed pure testosteron, we all want her. I am doing pretty good so far, I scored a 'untill next time', yes that is all, for now, but that is what has been given. Still behind the prick who already had her once, but I will better the instructions.
The 90's were the high point of human history. Gazza, McCoist, Laudrup, Albertz all at Rangers under Smith, strolling to 9 in a row. Scotland in the World Cup, taking on Brazil! Fifa Soccer Manager 97 was out, the best video game of all time. When you bought a video game, you got a full video game, and not just the parts of it they weren't planning on selling later. Bob the Builder was top of the charts. No mobile phones, no facebook, none of that junk. Strolling round all day in a shell suit...
What has happened to the world?!
It stopped being Scotland I guess
Almost all movies and theater pieces,... had (a) formula for ages. Up to the basic of the 3 act structure of almost any narrative.
I love Netflix but why does their Xbox app have to be so terrible?
Xbox in general is. Long live Play Station. Also I don't get why anyone uses game stations for tv purposes when there are smart tv's and computers?Quote:

In the 90's normal temporarily stopped being an offensive concept and people began to normalize themselves and their lives a lot more. The fashions, literature, entertainment, etc, etc, began to drift a lot more toward our contemporary culture's concept of 'normal'.

ummm...what is your point?
Since we are posting random wiki articles, look! It is a kitten!
:rolleyes:
Ha busted. I am not that easy to fool. Just willing
lol, it is a concept there is not a word for (or at least not one I know of), so I had to make one up for it.
That what you "websterized" was actually a real term and you just used the wrong form of it is all.Quote:

Yes in a historical context you are right that's what he meant. But it has now taken on a more broad meaning to cover what you mean. Just goggle "return to normalcy"

That's just the first page and only those with "Return to Normalcy" in the headline of the article and not just as a phrase in there somewhere.
Or are all of these historical references to a pre 1920s world?
Is the opposite of "impossible" "possible", or "necessary"?
How does my brother get more ripped just from doing crunches and pushups than I do with my weights? He probably does it every day.

I think it's not impossible, because impossible means that it's not possible for it to happen; but that's not really opposite to necessary, as necessary doesn't say something about the probability of something to happen, but more about how likely you want it to happen.
Necessary is more a subjective word.

Logical truths (including tautologies) are truths which are considered to be necessarily true. This is to say that they are considered to be such that they could not be untrue and no situation could arise which would cause us to reject a logical truth. However, it is not universally agreed that there are any statements which are necessarily true.
Something can also be certainly impossibleQuote:

I'm not sure how popular this chain is, but if one is nearby I'd highly recommend it.
I also got caught up on the Justice League comics. Honestly, I wasn't that thrilled with the Trinity War. What comes next is more interesting than the actual "war"
Hmmm. My mom has 5 poisened blowgun darts, the ones they use in the amazone. I want them. Futile to ask if I can have them probably but it would be cool to just have them. And yes I know my mom isn't your typical mom, she is now looking for a cannon for the garden (there allready is one in the house, really small one that was used on small boats) I am still waiting for the halberd she promised me 3 years ago. She may be a bit strange but how awesome is it to have a mom that wants a cannon in the garden and wants to buy me a halberd.
You would laugh your :daisy: off if you saw her arsenal. I can't post pictures sadly, I am not even allowed to enter the place, but there is an absolute wealth of awesome stuff she has. Including a few versions of the guns Docter Schultz from Django Unchained has. WANT. Can't have sadly.Quote:

They did their best but kid died. Breaks your heart.
Instant Shakespear-syndrome, seeing a friend in the line in the supermarket, tapping him on the shoulder, 'The villainy you teached me I will EXECUTE'. Two seconds before bursting into laughter, leaving everyone amazed.
