Idk, moral philosophy is a sticky subject when you dive into it, especially when getting into the nihilistic aspects. I'd recommend checking out some of Nietzsche's writings on herd morality if you want some good insight into Ted's criticism of leftism.
Should also say that it's tough to blame Ted for lashing out when you look at what various organizations did to him during his life. His story is definitely a tragic one.
BTW probably wouldn't recommend Cliff Stoll's work on social commentary, but The Cuckoo's Egg is a fascinating read. It's about his uncovering and tracking of an international espionage which he stumbled on shortly after becoming a sys-admin at Berkeley in the 1980's.
god that book fucking sucked. whenever he isn't bitching on and on about women, he's handing out the most watered down, braindead version of Nietzsche I've ever read.
like there is seriously something to be said about the multi-dimensional affront that technology is afflicting onto our existence, but Ted's political takes were so shallow and lame and mired in his own neurotic bullshit that I couldn't possibly read another page further.
I recently picked up a book on cyber-espionage by Cliff Stoll, and I noticed that he actually turned out to be majorly critical of the internet as a whole during its infancy. He mentions a very interesting critique of the information age that I've never heard before, and that's how he believes it to be hostile to human curiosity. Cliff argues that the constant availability of answers to our questions will placate the individuals curiosity, and eventually atrophy their skills of reasoning and problem-solving.
Hey I used to listen to that Dir en Grey Obscure song in high school! I remember that music video being sick as fuck and really unique for the time.
Anyways I haven't heard anything you listed, but I should say that Maximum The Hormone is probably my favorite band of all time. They're kind of Nu-metal, but I think avant-garde metal is a much better descriptor since their sound travels ridiculously far and wide even within the confines of one song. They've also been killing it the last 5 years or so, you should check out |their| |last| |four| |singles| if you haven't heard them yet.
I'll check out your list here as soon as I get the chance
Never heard of this before. Apparently there's only a few active ones in the world, but none of them harvest the fuel which is generated by the process.
Midas, after hunting, asked his captive Silenus somewhat urgently, what was the most desirable thing among humankind. At first he could offer no response, and was obstinately silent. At length, when Midas would not stop plaguing him, he erupted with these words, though very unwillingly: 'you, seed of an evil genius and precarious offspring of hard fortune, whose life is but for a day, why do you compel me to tell you those things of which it is better you should remain ignorant? For he lives with the least worry who knows not his misfortune; but for humans, the best for them is not to be born at all, not to partake of nature's excellence; not to be is best, for both sexes. This should be our choice, if choice we have; and the next to this is, when we are born, to die as soon as we can.'
my biggest fear was 9/11
Have you ever tried just being really tense?
Nice!
Is there any way to make it so videos don't autoplay? There's many times I'd much rather look at comments beforehand or instead.
Yes, it's me. I'm very heavily invested in mainchan's development
the formatting seems off now, I have to zoom out on mobile to be able to see the whole frame of the video

paddles on the back are nice for kick and lunge attacks since the button+stick combos can be hard to hit 100% of the time
it was surprisingly a lot of fun, looking forward to the sequel
yeah, looking forward to it! fingers crossed about it generating a good influx of users

the systematic dismantlement of everything enjoyable in life
I check it once a month or so, always seems to be about the same.

I did one of these
I can kind of see the resemblance.
My hairdresser won't stop cancelling on me, and this woman at the bar just told me last night that I look like wolverine, so I guess that's a thing.
