Do you ever wonder if your normal everyday ancient greek thought that Plato and Aristotle were big giant nerds, and took the piss out of them for thinking different, and that they're only revered because they wrote the books?
Or if the phenomenon of making fun of people smarter than you is just a modern day thing?

Weren't one of those guys put on trial and sentenced to death for their way of thinking?

People with new ideas are always made fun of. Just like kids these days don't know how good they have it, for the past 3000 years or so. There's some famous Roman quote to the effect of "kids these days".

There was a case in the cult of pythagoras that Hippasus dared to suggest that mathematics was not just confined to whole numbers. And there were such a thing as irrational numbers. Now some people say he was exiled from the cult but there's also evidence that they just straight up murdered him for even suggesting such a ridiculous theory.

I wonder what they would've done if he had suggested complex numbers

CosmicScientist wrote:Or dividing by zero. Or dividing in general I suppose as fractions tend to let you understand numbers that are not whole.

for divisions they probably would have just worked with remainders, instead of having say, 5/2 be 2.5 they'd say it's just 2 remainder 1.

accidentally dropped a pot-holder in the oven when putting dinner in. Went into the kitchen and smoke was billowing out of the closed oven, ended up seeing the flaming pot-holder and then tossed water on it until it went out

Dude I graduated high school with died suddenly for unknown reasons.
Apparently just like, dropped dead. Everyone is fucking stunned.

Service is on Wednesday.

Thinking about it all makes me feel kinda guilty. The guy was not insecure just kinda sheltered and awkward, but everyone kinda understood him and loved him. He was more popular than he was secure being, to put it one way. He grew out of it over the years and really put a 110% into life. He got a law degree and moved to another country to start med school. Was engaged to a lady. Never did hard drugs or drank too much from what I knew, stayed in shape. Was a decent human being.

Dropped dead just like that.

And somehow I'm still here not hardly doing any of that shit.

If you asked me a month ago if I would've traded places with him I would've said no, but I would've had to think about it for a moment. I would've doubted it. Now look at us.

If some part of him still lingers out there somewhere, how does he feel? Is he satisfied he got as much done as he did? Is he pissed off? Would he trade some of that away to still be here? How much?

It's weird. I've confronted death before. Not the first funeral I'll go to, definitely not the last. I've had friends go, some not-friends too. Maybe it's that there was always some kinda reason. Sometimes you see how someone dies and cruel as it is you figure that they had that coming. "Yeah, he drank way too much". "Hung out with the wrong people." "Acted like a piece of shit." "Bad genes." "Bad luck." This is the first time someone my age just died for no fucking reason. Just knocked off for no reason.

I knew a guy who died of an Aneurysm. A friend from elementary school died in 5th grade from Leukemia. I'm trying to find next-neighbors and logical equivalencies and for whatever reason none of them seem to fit. It's just weird. Just weird.

I think one of them got killed by the Spartans for killing them a bunch of boy molesting poofters.

So this is like blogpost central or just talk about stuff?
Well my parents want a new deck since the old one is giving out and rotting. My brother has fell through it once. We're only half way done tearing the old one down. And its only the second day working on it. Im sunburnt all over and its only getting hotter. Whooo

Here it is so far:

When I last tore down a deck we kinda just hacked it to pieces with hammers. It was good fun. Also gonna be 24 tomorrow, exciting stuff

Thatd make it so much easier. I got an uncle who does decking for a living. But hes got an empty head so no help from him. And my fathers stubborn so we have to pull plank by plank and denail every single nail by hand.

Sweet! What are you gonna do for your birthday?

Fuck that, get a circular saw.

Dad moans? You have a circular saw and easy access to a place to hide corpses.

I'd rather not have to murder my mother, brother, sister, and grandmother too.

Nothing wrong with doing it the careful way if you are planning on re-using the wood. The one we tore down was too old, so we got to just batter it to pieces.

Yeah, reusing wood. Hahaha, I'd go out and take a picture of the rotten half wood beams but Im too comfy right now. Like the beams are half air, half wood.

yeah man all you need is to pry up the floor boards under your living room, then to dump the bodies in there, throw a bunch of nutrients and water on them, then fill in the hole and replace the decking. The water and nutrients will ensure they rot faster.

Hah, only place i could hide bodies, or dispose of them would be a fireplace. or go out into my goats pen and put them under the shed where it smells like shit anyways.

Base is cutting power for ??? hours tomorrow

It's supposed to break 100 degrees

I really dislike this place

Does your car have AC? This sounds like a good time for a drive.

Hahaha I don't have a car

At the gym today I had an average heart rate of 141 bpm for the better part of 90 minutes. It peaked at 161. I'm amazed I didn't burst a blood vessel or something.

I'd probably go with holoparasite or trading my tc with an admin for blob or alien

I'd check if I couldn't trade them for a magic mirror.

No real life lizard Firen?

I was changing my shirt and my arms got stuck in the sleeves when I pulled it over my head. I screamed "HELP ME, I'M LARGE" to an empty room like a total goober.

I did it! I managed to survive 24 years without getting myself killed in some ridiculous fashion, and not for lack of trying either. HBD2ME. Time to get drunk

TEAR IT UP SON

I met someone who claims they remember being born and called it "the worst transition of my life".

I very quickly came to agree with them. Yes, I also regret that you were ever born you stupid piece of shit.

Did they say that over the brim of their CrapBook Air whilst slurping black coffee?

Congrats friendo. I thought you were older than me, but whatever I guess.

Another day of decking. Made some nice progress. Feet, and arms hurt.

That's some nice progress, I tell you what.

Thats like half of my mothers wind chimes. She gets like 3 every 2 years

Not a friend of mine, a friend of a friend.

They said this while we were congratulating our mutual friend on the birth of their new baby.
Like, this person basically said "Hey congrats on having a kid I remember being born I hated it worst thing to ever happen to me" like it was super insightful or something.

at least your mom hangs them up near the house, mine puts them out in the middle of the yard where we have an island of trees so you stare out the kitchen window at 2am and you can't see them but you hear them but you never really know if it's the wind or something else.

i have to record something but my niece is outside making a shitload of noise

Thats some spooky shit fam.

Oh God I started increasing my protein intake, including 90% pure whey protein isolate, yesterday, and hoo boy am I feeling the intestinal results today.

One thing I hate about job hunting is that most jobs never bother specifying what the hours of work, I'd like to know about whether its shift based or if its some soul destroying 50 hours a week bs.

Makes it hard to compare salaries too, can't work out a baseline hourly rate

Spent 11 hours yesterday helping my mum assemble 2 wardrobes, 2 chests of drawers and 2 bedside tables.
It was hell.

Finally Friday. How did a three-day week manage to drag on so long?

Because it was a four day week.

I took Tuesday off in addition to the Memorial Day holiday, so it was a three-day week for me. I guess my perception of time is determined to make me suffer the same amount regardless.

Oh man, Muhammad Ali passed away. RIP to The Greatest.

a question to the various youtube idiots
have you ever paid for adwords advertising? how long does it advertise for? i don't see any option to kill the ads after a certain date.

i also don't even know what to put in the descriptions of this shit aaaaaa this should not be nerve-wracking

Officially made PCR my bitch. I can whip out forty reactions in a half hour I don't give a fuuuuuck
