Dabir posted:Tim Follin, composer of unnecessarily good chiptunes and writer/director of Contradiction: Spot the Liar What I love about Tim Follin is that he's unarguably the (or at least one of the) greatest chiptune composers, but this is only because he loving hated chiptunes and was desperately trying to push the sound hardware to sound far better than it should. Then when game hardware improved to the point that he could just do CD-quality music, it just sounded like everything else and no one really cared anymore. So he quit the industry, only returning in recent years to make FMV games.

MeinPanzer posted:A lot of people itt surprisingly don’t understand that your continued enjoyment of leisure is mostly dependent on doing some sort of purposeful work. And by definition people who have been successful enough in some profession to become rich find their work satisfying. I have never done purposeful work so I'd not know about that. Every job I have had is menial garbage that exists because capitalism cannot abide people doing "nothing" (where nothing is not merely nothing but is something that is not linked somehow to shareholder value). This is my own fault, if there was an Olympic medal for being unambitious I'd not win it because I wouldn't put the work in. I come home from doing nothing that matters and feel mentally drained, exhausted. Then you eat dinner, relax for a couple of hours before going to bed & starting the cycle all over again. And this is the point, most people do work that is some deeply unsatisfying service sector rubbish where at the end of the day you step back & look at what you've done & realised it's nothing. It makes no difference to the world & at the end of it you don't want to go to a protest or go to a political meeting because all you want to do is find a hole, jump in, pull the duvet over the top of it & fall into restful oblivion, hoping to wake up the next morning to find out that it's all been a horrifically banal nightmare. Now obviously part of that extreme reaction is my predilection for depression talking, but the point is that nothing has destroyed my desire to get involved like work.

Tim's debate style reminds me of that scene in the Scorcese film Silence when Andrew Garfield's Christian missionary tries to debate an Eastern philosopher using the same kind of commonly accepted true-isms and circular arguments and just gets totally annihilated

Only Kindness posted:Roll Up, Roll Up To See The Amazzing Two-Headded Catte Taxxe I need a kitty - post me one.  (Sadly, strictly verboten in our flats).Surgeons: I guess they would continue doing their job and 4-day week is potentially averaged over a period of say 3 months so you would maybe do 8 on and 2 off or some such. Friend used to work for BT as a maintenance chap ('engineer') years ago and they did a 9-day fortnight. I know the WTD regs for shift workers were averaged. Religion chat: Mum just came round and I said 'you've got a smear of black stuff on your forehead - have you converted to Islam?' No she said, it's Ash Wednesday. So I said devout muslims have a dark mark on their head from pressing their head on the carpet when they pray. They're just showing off and trying to pretend to be all holy - she said. So what's the difference - I say. I'm showing the world how strong my faith is and if anyone asks me about the mark on my forehead I can tell them what it's about - she says. :rollyeyes: Anyway, what about the pancakes? Where does it say you have to eat pancakes in the Bible? Oh do be quiet.

It doesn't, but being the day before the start of Lent Shrove Tuesday is when you'd eat up perishable stuff like eggs and milk that you wouldn't eat for the next 40 days so they wouldn't go to waste. One of the few cases of a religious festival being based on good sense, even if only because it comes immediately before another festival that doesn't.

And by definition people who have been successful enough in some profession to become rich find their work satisfying. Very much not the case for me, anything I do is purposeful and even if I were seeking some greater purpose it would not take the form of paid employment if I had the choice, there are far more worthwhile things I can do that aren't compensated. Some of the nicest moments I have are void of purpose, simply existing under the purposeless blue sky and sunshine. To experience without want or thought. Extremely fulfilling IME.

The lifts that operate in shabbat mode are funny too, or simply announcing to the world that you would like to go to a floor and if somebody decides to press the button for you that's up to them.

Religious technicalities always crack me up, like the guy the other day pretending that actually leviticus was written about the transes, so as long as we have gay sex standing up we've gotten round that loophole! (Yes I know that's likely not what the phrase 'lie with man' meant in the original sources.) The same people claiming that god is omniscient and knows what's in your heart, but can also be tricked by the kind of smooth-brained rules lawyering that a toddler would be able to see through.
