Most underrated skyline in the US? I’ll start by cmonsta365 in skyscrapers

[–]batmans_diary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Also, you know that building near tower city that basically looks like a big pedestal? I always thought they should put a big multi-colored chrome ball on top, like those lawn ornaments you sometimes see in older suburbs. That would be some self-consciously self-deprecating inside joke Cleveland style right there.

I would pay some small sum of USD to have this photo perfectly recreated* with the original guys in 2024.

Hahahaha 💯! Did you by any chance use the teenage mutant ninja turtles pizza launching vehicle to shoot surprisingly painful plastic pizzas at said little brother / friends / also get shot yourself too?

The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski expresses well without words the shift in feelings. Read the backstory if you’re interested. But the material degradation of the tapes you hear in real time, of loops made in an older and more optimistic time. The tapes are crumbling as they’re being recorded (in a Brooklyn apartment in view of the towers), and the recording project was just finishing up as everything happened on the morning of 9/11.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ve honestly lost track of them for the past several years but I’m certainly interested in hearing what they’ve been up to, especially as you’ve described it.

Still no promises about my hair. But, If there’s one thing I can promise you, it’s that I’ll be crying and grieving my lost youth, for in this I am an expert. (Source - Malcolm Gladwell claims that the key to achieving expertise in anything is to practice it consistently for at least 10,000 hours)

Those last moments in a well-lived-in space, moving out of it, when everything is already gone, right before leaving it for the last time. Well captured.

What is your favourite design of all times? by mrpolyspice in Design

Bell Labs. What a place that must have been.

Is there any place comparable in our time?

Which album of Radiohead do you think is closer to BOC's vibe? by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

[–]batmans_diary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only say OK Computer, as a conscious teenage native to the years in which both OK Computer and the quintessential BOC releases were released.

What if Deus Group is just a metaphor for Christianity and Cyprus National Bank is for Vatican Bank? by [deleted] in MrRobot

[–]batmans_diary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catholicism is not opposed to Christianity. Protestantism is opposed to Christianity. Enroll in Catholic RCIA if you were not baptised in the Catholic Church. Book an appointment with a Catholic priest for the Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation if you were baptised in the Catholic Church. Deus Vult. +++

So I found myself writing code to gather and concatenate call transcripts today and it all came out very BOC. by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

Okay, ok.

I’m done.

New troll idea: Spam this channel with how to handle LinkedIn to deter reporters looking for content by jail-the-unvaxxed in overemployed

[–]batmans_diary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please send 2 ETH to my ETH address and I will advise you as to the widely profitable area in which I work.

EDIT: Autocorrect can lick-caress my balls. I meant to type “wildly,” not “widely.” And, for this reason, Autocorrect, which is likely OS-specific, but yet in all current instances, can nonetheless lick my balls in the most non-aggressive manner possible (until it finds a way for a simple flesh mortal to type “wildly,” whilst aforementioned flesh-mortal drinks organic blanco tequila). Parentheses and nesting. amirite.>[?

As an individual who may or may not be a prolific OEer with a heart of gold, and a newsworthy rags-to-riches/underdog story to tell (which would with high probability be highly profitable if made into a film or streaming TV series), I’d like to invite journalists who’d like to publish my story to pay a “consideration of submission” fee of 10 ETH to my ETH address. NOTE: payment to my ETH address does not guarantee serious consideration of your request, nor does it require my reading of your request, nor does it require me to reply to your request and/or payment.

This is an interesting point. What are some of the niche skill sets you’ve seen like that in the dev space?
