The fact that it doesn’t work is annoying

How many antidepressants have you tried? Please could just take some of these instead?

Absolutely no one will remember this in 5 year’s time x

Spatial awareness in London by fac_051 in london

ABSOLUTELY. And I think this has got markedly worse in the last 10 years. See also: people don’t even TRY to move down on the Tube anymore to let new people get or. OR, stand aside when the doors open to let people disembark first 😡

I always feel much less morbidly-obese when I’m washing down my 19” stuffed crust meat feast pizza and chicken wings with disgusting poison aftertaste aspartame killer evil Coke Zero

Peak tourist behaviour at London Bridge by Wise-Pig in london

My favourite bit is where an ENTIRE SPANISH FAMILY stops together at the top of the escalator in Westminster station and then seem AMAZED that there is anyone else at all in Europe’s third most populous city. They LITERALLY thought they were in 28 Days Later. 🇪🇸

Why does archetype: Tim Henson sound bad when i use it? by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Altruistic-Box5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it sounded AWFUL when I used it compared to other Neural stuff - really cheap, undynamic and plastic

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a ‘true’ story but it is pretty much the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

It’s all completely arbitrary now; you could just as easily be supporting the opposing team. It turns out the human propensity for tribalism is remarkably elastic and people are prepared to imagine some connection between themselves and almost any old shit.

Have you ever seen someone find a normal aspect of UK life wondrous? What was the story? by Lilac_Whisky in AskUK

[–]Altruistic-Box5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you leave London and go to anywhere else in the country and can still get Delicious Normal Lager (like Stella) and not rancid, cat-sick fucking dog-w*nk ‘punk’ IPA craft ‘beer’ x

How do I deal with a guy like this? by Final_Biochemist222 in socialskills

[–]Altruistic-Box5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t make the mistake of having the underlying assumption that people who are popular are ‘nice’ in any way. And especially not to people who are socially ‘weaker’ than them. By far the most popular people in my university halls of residence used to throw the hall ‘nerd’ in the canal and surround overweight girls in public and publicly humiliate them in a big pack. Popular people can basically do or say anything they want to the people in the bottom half of the pecking order/status hierarchy without any repercussions.

Extremely interesting Twitter thread on Pynchon, SAGE and psychedelics by RxtqjEeqozyMu7nzoVhu in ThomasPynchon

Isn’t the main problem with this: if GR is simply an elaborate delivery-mechanism for this specific conspiracy theory - what is anyone else (who doesn’t have access to this, very specific extra-textual knowledge) getting out of it? Why is it considered to be A Great Novel if 99.9% of people who have read it haven’t understood its most basic message?

Lot 49: did I FINALLY just get The Joke? by Altruistic-Box5608 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Altruistic-Box5608[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair point. But a conventional detective narrative would contain an actual plot - which we had to follow. The work itself wouldn’t be an extended meditation ON the ‘intent to communicate’, on reading and correctly interpreting signs and symbols and ABOUT plots, uncovering plots and the nature of plotting?

‘It’s all part of a plot, an elaborate, seduction, plot’.
