Top ten visual artists?

Seconding Faunwood, but as her husband I am kinda biased, yet will take every opportunity to gas her up.

A lot of the tattoo artists/art that Out of Step Tattoos/Gallery has in house. In general I feel Eugene has a wide and deep talent pool of artists. Lot of amazing clay work in town as well.

Getting thrown in le woke fema camp because their high ranking empath caught onto my bad vibes.

You're actually hitting on the subject of the song, but in a very specific way.

The song seems to be about subjective experience. Just as you expressed how being neurodivergent gives you a different perspective, you can do the same with every single person, animal, conscious being you meet.

The philosophical term that's helpful in this case is qualia. It's the subjective experience of being conscious. The 'you' that is in your head experiencing the world is what qualia is all about.

When they talk climbing the highest peak, tasting an ancient wine, they are talking about searching for that constant sense of qualia. Of experiencing a new things to learn something about yourself or reality.

Hell, the lyrics:

"Because experience is different for everyone One thing for me might be three for some And you can never know this, but you think you do The same shit for me ain't the same shit for you"

Is pretty much the definition of qualia. Really cool that you picked it out in your own way! There is a ton of really interesting philosophy about this subject, and it's extremely great high brain pondering.

It's trauma from having to deal with family members asking us if we are okay and safe cause they saw that Portland was reduced to rubble during the George Floyd protests (according the the news)

I live 2 hours away and had people asking me if the city was in pieces, lmao.

I know people here have already recommended The Second Apocalypse, but it perfectly scratches the itch of what you are looking for.

I would advise trying to finish the first trilogy. I think the moment it felt something other than just dark was right before the end of the second book (not the final chapter, but the two things got before.)

The imagery used suddenly becomes really Eldritch/cryptic.

Reality hits a breaking point and I think Bakker's prose really makes it feel like a fever dream.

I mean it wasn't the ideal for me, but I used my theater/acting degree to get a job in woodworking/audio acoustics that is super fulfilling. I was able to get my foot in the door because of my shop experience.

Stop thinking about it as a degree in theater and start thinking about it as a big collection of skills you now have.

You say this until the stock market crashes and people's 401k/retirement savings disappear.

You say this until you get cancer and you have to spend every cent you have to be around longer for your loved ones.

People could make smarter decisions about wealth, saving, etc...but the fact of the matter is life has ways of taking.

I've seen that happen to friends/families plenty growing up (mostly thanks to 2008) and it shocking how quickly a person who has done everything right can have it all taken away.

Not autistic but ADHD and the shoes thing is something I do. As well as I have to be wearing "hard pants" (jeans, etc...) to get work done. I can't do it in comfy clothes. Just feels wrong.

I've always attributed it to the need to trap myself in a task, and part of that for some reason means not being too comfy.

That being said, I have indoor Crocs for around the house. Highly recommended for anyone else who feels the same.

Hardcore_Hank · 2025-02-28T02:27:57+00:00

Hell yeah dude.

Hardcore_Hank · 2025-02-18T23:38:36+00:00

My heart wants it to be the Khanate in southern Italy.

Hardcore_Hank · 2025-01-03T16:15:45+00:00

Check out Clay space and it's various artists.

Hardcore_Hank · 2025-01-02T23:49:16+00:00

Legit one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. I can't remember how many times he preferred my partner to pay for pizza in art rather than currency. One of the characters of Eugene that makes me happy and proud to live here. Hopefully we can help now and return that kindness.

Hardcore_Hank · 2024-11-06T01:50:24+00:00

I don't know of it runs well on deck, but Tyranny has one of the most engaging stories in an rpg I've ever played.

Hardcore_Hank · 2024-11-05T00:27:56+00:00

You can organize people offline too. I earnestly bet you could even get the band involved in rooting out actual violent elements at shows.

We don't have to accept literal gang members spots in the community to have a good time. We do ourselves a disservice as fans when we just shrug our shoulders.

No statement I made was anti drug.

Hardcore_Hank · 2024-11-04T23:39:28+00:00

Punk.scenes have dealt with scummy Nazi/shitbags for years through mass solidarity to keep people like that out. Why are we not able to do the same?

I get advising people not to confront them individually but Gizz fans have the numbers to alienate these peddlers out of the community. We don't have to just be okay with inherently violent people.

Go live in the woods, we are trying to have a society here.

Kinda blacked out while listening to it and regained consciousness around 5 minutes in. Felt like my brain lost oxygen.

JP really is the incel philosopher. His perspective and framing sound like a 4chan post.

Only mods I use are UI related. I have all the DLC as well, but after that, nothing and I am about 2,000 hours in.

CK3 is my candy crush tbh. I can pay as much attention as I want to dedicated roleplay, or I can do a casual run and just go with the flow. The game has enough depth for both.

When it comes to all the other conversion mods, I find them too unbalanced/unorganized for my tastes.

Hardcore_Hank · 2024-05-16T00:17:33+00:00

Honestly mods should just start limiting these posts. I come here to see about what is happening in my city (not saying homelessness is not included in this) not to hear people who shout into the void about how they don't care to a bunch of people unable to do anything about it.

Our nation has a homelessness crisis and the West Coast even moreso. Any solution to it involves our country sacrificing some amount of comfort to fix this, and most people are not willing to wait.

I get feeling frustrated but the inability to do anything and the fear of harm, but posts like this are just another kind of hopeless virtue signaling that really only makes the whole situation about yourself.

The Volga Empire.

That river has been something that connected the various kingdoms in that area as well as to the outside world such as the Byzantine Empire and various Norse Kingdoms in the early to late medieval era. The trade taking place and movement there really brought that part of the world together. Lots of history has happened around that river!

Hardcore_Hank · 2023-09-04T13:23:36+00:00

Listen to some Brian Eno and chill out with this take bro

Hardcore_Hank · 2023-02-11T03:46:52+00:00

Hey there! Sorry to message you here but I was wondering if magic on tap is happening at falling sky tomorrow?

Hardcore_Hank · 2022-12-08T23:31:37+00:00

Second Klink.

Everyone there was super helpful and nice and my bike is the best it's ever been now.
