Noble Dust

You seem to have some deep seated grudge towards Catholics or Catholicism.

So you're old and still mobile. Impressive. This feels like a BC bit. I in some ways envy this, but I also am able to grab my iPhone and do the same i...

Oh yeah, I'm done here. Forgot to mention that.

It is true I don't have a kindle or some such and only read paper books. Do with that information what you will.

Tis a joke. I realize the "Come on brah" vs. "com'n brah" or some such can be confusing. I feel the need to break the 4th wall here and clarify. Typic...

I only read books made out of paper, which is what I mean by "real". I know you know this, and I know you know that I know that you know this. Come on...

Ironically, I only read real books. You're more modern than me here. Funny. And sad on my part, perhaps. Or not. I'm not sure.

Realized that I forgot to give a big thumbs up to this. *Clarky thumb emoji*

I like the sound of that. Nothing about that is off-putting to me, unless dense means constant use of obscure words to which no one knows the meanings...

This is what turned me off of Last Days of New Paris. I felt like I was reading someone's flowery summary of a novel they had read. The City and the C...

Btw I’m reading Now Wait For Last Year by… drum roll… PKD. I promise the UBIK thread is coming. This one is fascinating. It’s early period, so the wri...

@"Jamal" @"Manuel" I enjoyed The City and the City so much that I feel I owe it to myself to give him at least one more shot after failing with Last D...

Truenorth is quite good, although it's kind of 3 songs in one. I love the last section.

I cancelled Bud Lite out of my life all the way back in college. Normal Budweiser, however, is my go-to shitty beer.

You're so helpful.

Breakfast: a pumpernickel bagel from my freezer stash of bagels I get for free from the place next to my job. Toasted with cream cheese, of course. I ...

Thundercat himself is the bass player, so yes the bass is good. The sheer amount of chord changes on the C section is absurd. Fun music.

Anyone agree????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHTufn3VWq0

As a non-philsopher these days, this thread has been way more informative than I had anticipated. I went in with zero expectations and left with a lot...

Unpasturized piss is illegal in the US. I know, I know, we’re paranoid; guns and all that shit too.

Cool. Wood or gas? Someday when I have outdoor space and money I’d love to get one. What type of tomatoes do you use? Do you add anything else to them...

Do you have one of those fancy new at-home pizza ovens?

Nice.

Nice.

It's not a batting contest. Thanks.

I'm back to watch baseball highlights.

I thought a penny farthering just meant a nothing; A promise unfulfilled, I guess. Now I know something new...? It's a bike?

I did that but now I can't get back in. Now I can only access The Shoutbox through ubuntu with Tor on my Acer that has a VPN set to Uzbekistan, or whe...

Sorry, what'd you say? I feel like it was something significant, but I can't remember.

Things are rather gra(e)y in general. Maybe it's a manifestation of the state of my inner world. Maybe since you're a mod you can write some code to f...

This is a very minor thing, but do any mods know why the shoutbox is suddenly always grayed out for me? Now I don't know if there are new posts. And s...

Unfortunately the Amtrak train is not something I would describe as awesome or sharp, although the views along the Hudson once you're out of the city ...

If I see you, that means you're in New York City, which means you've wandered too far south. It's a common mistake, considering it's hard to tell when...

I'm not sure how happy these juvenile sparrows were to be raised by ginormous humans, but one time we lost one of them in the woods in our backyard, a...

I've been meaning to take a weekend in Beacon for a long time (not the mountains, but). Maybe this weekend. I don't have a car, so limited to train an...

At the time, excitement, affection towards the birds, and fascination with animals and the natural world, which led to heartbreak. Mine died on July 3...

My brother and I found two abandoned House Sparrows when we were kids. Our mother for some reason let us keep them in the garage. We spent a summer ra...

Why not, eh?

I do.

I'm always here. Which made me think of this film, but I couldn't find a clip, so you'll have to make do with the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Out of left field, but...obviously Barolo is the king. It is true that good Barbaresco (don't sleep on the Proditurri) rivals Barolo. It depends on th...

I trust a @"Baden" comic will be made in my memory.

I'm already too deep, Jammy Boi. I'm composing my will as we speak.

They do exist, although I haven't found any. This is indeed a dangerous rabbit hole.

:chin:

I'm not entirely convinced the band I'm listening to right now is actually a weather channel and isn't actually an MI6 channel.

Tonight has been spent capturing short wave radio clips. It's a magical world. So many sounds ripe for use as loops or samples in songs.

If you really want to know, I was dealing with a mac problem related to the WindowServer app(?) using way too much CPU for no reason. I still don't kn...

Maladroit. What a great word. Thanks. Bye.
