I don't know about the sexual energy explanation

almost every mechanical action or average behaviour is very influenced from sexual energies in form of sexual intentions, desires, expectations or repressions. So sex uses to motivate or drive what we are doing in a default state of conciousness. The problem is we rarely are truly aware of it at the moments it happen, or how to stop an upcoming dumb action driven by this force. Every habit or thing that drives or control our weak will in an easy way, has sex as it root

 

 

So if I'm drunk and decide on a whim to urinate in the middle of a well lit city street it's the fault of my libido?  How did you come to this conclusion?

 

That situation is because of being very drunk, not much sex energy in that case, you are below average state of conciousnes just drunkness of a do not giving a fuck drunk. Sexual energy is the most high and it searchs pure unity of your stuff with something else. The most refined energy a orgaism could make out of digestions. Its potent energy tends to leak to the three main brains or centers, the moving, the emotional and the intelectual, and if not transmuted or being aware of it, it is like leaking kerosene in a diesel or gas engine depending of the center that steals its energy... resulting in imbalances in its functions, for example too much imagination, mental fantasies or morbid desires, strong egoic emotios, fears, masochism, dumb sexual intentions... all of them pretty dumb if analyzed

Yeah but some people get drunk and get into these epic, yet regrettable adventures that are just horrible. I used to work with a dude who had a family history of alcoholism and he fucked one of our co-workers who was just horrible. She was an unrealistic character from some nightmare sitcom. Like, he HAD to be a classic Irish American alcoholic to make that happen and I honestly feel bad for him to this day.

 

Another guy walked right into a fire station and stole one of their jackets, got caught on camera. I’ll just fall asleep/fade away and I’m totally fine with that.

I hardly ever pass out no matter how drunk I am and do I sometimes wish I had passed out.. I mean I'm not violent, destructive or anything like that, more like the opposite, I'm overtly friendly with everybody including the people who have tried to pick a fight with me. But some questionable decisions have been made..

too much internet, is how.

There should be a Joy Division cover band that puts happy spins on each song, and they should be called Joyless Multiplication.

these dickheads already tried that, with predictably awful results:

If they had gone with the name Joyless Multiplication I think it would have worked out better.  "The Wombats" is just ridiculous.

A new pointless observation:

WeTransfer.com rounds up to 100% before your transfer is 100% complete.

My preferred way to take a breathe is to start with the nostrils, and about midway exhale a bit through the mouth, then finish the inhale with a deep mouth breathe. Maximum O₂ euphoria achieved. You're welcome.

Also, when I'm at work, my mouth says "hello! :)" but my face says "fuck you."

What's the deal with people complaining about pagebreaks? First of all it depends on what postcount per threadpage user x has their personal preferences set to and second of it all you are on top of the page so clearly you're dominating the discussion. Are we all submissive and prefer a bottom position? What've everybody was on the bottom?

Also wouldn't it be great if there were some compulsory universal standard for record labels' a/b sides? Here/there or this/that/side or A/B? Rather than making people peer into the matrix only to find b-1 etched into both sides or some other cryptic nonsense.

Otoh who gives a fuck what side you're on as long as the jam's hot.

It would be neat if this post got the pagebreak spot after that post.

Edit: damn, no pagebreak :(

I agree that would've been rather good.

This is more of a question than a pointless observation/thought:

So, I've noticed, when a chick goes on to a predominantly male forum/virtual space, dudes FREAK OUT. Like, there is some thread on the Aphex reddit right now that has, like, 80 posts, and it's because some chick posted a picture of herself with an Aphex Twin shirt (yes, I know, clearly I clicked on it. whatever. This isn't about that). 

Or, like, back in the day used to play a ton of COD, to the point where I typically ranked top 3 in most matches. My wife (then girlfriend) would then get on the microphone and just, like, say random shit every few minutes. Dudes would flip the fuck out. "Yo, dude, is that a girl?!!!" It was hilarious. I also get it. The idea of some hot ass chick kicking your ass at a FPS is, like, the DREAM. That's not really what this is about either. 

My question is: Is there a place where this dynamic is reversed? Where, if a guy went on to a virtual space, chicks would totally whig out and be all fawning bordering on stalkery? Is that even possible, given our current social and gender dynamics? 

Artist releases great album, so I'm looking forward to their next one -> It drops and it's underwhelming -> ffw a few months they drop another one and I dislike it even more, so I appreciate the previous one more now

the cycle above has happened to me with a few artists lately

Something that's been working for me lately in keeping music fresh and trying to sensibly navigate a reasonable portion of what's out there is very loosely adhering to a selection scheme where there's a bunch of spotify/stuff on phone/playlists that's used for on the road/workhours/etc listening and then there's the home listening section which consists of records.

If I stumble upon something that I like I'll try to buy the vinyl but this means this album/ep will basically disappear from the casual listening section and is now reserved for home listening.

Of course in the end you play whatever you feel like at the moment but this works for me as a way to take the time to appreciate albums and not suffer from the tyranny of choice when I'm at home and seek out fresh things when I'm out to keep the dreaded fear of missing out at bay.

This is a pointless thoughts thread, Zephyr. Not a rock f#$%ing solid cover band ideas thread. For that reason, I'm stealing this idea.

If I went to a hot yoga class it would be full of hot chicks who think I’m a weirdo for being there I think. I’ve never done a hot yoga class but people just recommended it to me.

k - yeah, so, IRL, I actually think this holds up. My wife is a yoga instructor, and we sometimes talk about how strange it is more dudes don't go to yoga classes for this very reason. I.e., being an anomaly in a female dominated area, thus being a point of interest. Plus, you know, lots of hot chicks working out around you/doing down dog? seems like a no-brainer. 

Other IRL places: ballroom dancing - took a few classes in college. The model holds up. Also, social work program, but that takes a lot more commitment. 

I guess I was thinking about online places/where you have a mediated personality. Maybe yoga forums? Oh, also, don't do hot yoga unless you really want to fuck up your body.

Interesting observations about the yoga thing.

@Candiru: although not a broadly shared view, I'm guessing, but women can be equally creepy. It just shows differently. Just imagine Brad Pitt walking into a room full of women. They'd freak out even more. Admittedly, it'd take a Brad Pitt. But the impact would be even bigger as well, I'd argue. What might look like guys freaking out, might suddenly look pretty normal compared to women responding to mr Pitt.

In normal cases though, I'd argue women are just as creepy as guys can be. It just shows differently. I mean, a guy going to a yoga class will likely be judged by all women present. You can bet he will be the target of loads of gossip and all that. Especially when he's of interest to them.

That's women being creepy, btw. Being gossipy behind each others back and getting all competitive and bitchy and all that. And the guy might not even notice it.

I often get weird looks when I take my toddler to kiddie activity groups at the local library. I'm almost always the only bloke there, and none of the mums have ever shown the slightest interest in acknowledging me although they're pretty chatty with eachother.

It's like a complete inverse of the weird stalking that women get from gamers. Blanking as opposed to creepy obsession

A substantial amount of people I message with use multiple K's to signify okay.  So "Kk" or "Kkk" as opposed to "OK" or just "k".  It's weird.

I say kk. it's just a goofy way of saying ok.

maybe they mean ku klux klan

As long as they don't say heil hitler

There was an old lady driving behind me on the way home who was moving her lips a lot. I don't know if she was talking on bluetooth or to herself, but she looked like Jim Varney who starred in the Ernest films from the early '90s but with a wig and glasses.
