Your pointless thoughts & observations

Oh a Senior Officer bought a prisoner down to my dept (a no prisoner allowed area) where we store not for issue property belonging to prisoners. He was after some legal paper work because his appeal was starting. I wasn't even working there at the time, just skiving, but I was the only person there and I'm one of the daddies of that place so I helped out the Officer.

Prisoner then starts grousing about wanting all his other shit he can't have, stereo etc. Which isn't gonna happen and I explained to him why, he's clearly not happy, slightly tense atmosphere. Officer also asks about a property sticker for another prisoner and I sort him out with one, this involves cutting it out from a sheet with a pair of scissors.

After they left I checked out who that prisoner was, turns out it's this guy.

Needless to say I wasn't best pleased and ended up reporting the SO for bringing him down there.

Jesus, that's a fucked up guy there.

shit man that's crazy

that's ridiculous.

Usagi isn't even unagi. That's just pathetic

Getting a thorn stuck in your finger vs Muammar al-Gaddafi’s death. Pointy ends of the spectrum.

It's better to make new friends and then get drunk, not the other way around

Drinking is a dangerous game. You are playing poker with fate and the devil. Tequila 4 life

I've never tried breaking into anyone's house but I've definitely been up to stuff that is equally stab worthy ... seems so random but so final . Colleagues kids are gonna be some nihilist motherfuckers

having some idiot run you over on the sidewalk or having a streetlamp fall on you is random and tragic. Getting stabbed while trying to break into someone's house while a girl's in agony begging for an ambulance is being a moron

no one saying it's random - pointless was the comment. Also , in my area , most break ins don't end in fatalities so there is a disconnect between the act and the consequence. Comparing it to a completely random act like you've described seems somewhat irrelevant - but agreed that it is moronic

sorry, I inferred the randomness part from your comment on the kids' nihilism, which I assumed you meant stems from the randomness of the death but I might have been wrong. Anyway no need to pile on the dead, that was in bad taste

A big part of me will always think synaesthetes are just making all that shit up.

No wonder you don't get elseq

lol maybe u rite tho

Let's suppose you had to select from two different lifestyles with the same average amount of happiness/misery (zero sum):

1) Life in which you are either mildly happy or content about half of the time and mildly sad the other half on varying days.

2) Life in which you are miserable most of the time but then experience brief moments of almost ecstasy like happiness.

Which one would you choose?

I think I have a tendency to choose number two when given the chance, but sometimes a need for comfort pushes me towards number one. This is maybe a personality trait?

If it's permanent and applied to the rest of my life I'd rather go for 1)

Definitely option 1.

Option 3: irrationally angry half the time, zen-like tranquility the other half.

I think I used to be 1, but something went wrong with ma brainthingy in the past 15 years or so.

For example now I'm in Southern Africa, several thousand kilometers outside my comfort zone. Most of the time I'm on the edge and not really comfortable. Sometimes I'm outright scared. But when it's good it's oh so good and I feel very happy, like full body happiness.

Option 2 is just manic depression.

I have a gut feeling that shit will get worse for this planet in the coming decades, regardless of political climate.

pointless thought: In 100-200 years, people will be able to just press a button and an artificial intelligence will make 100x better music than anyone alive today. I wonder if that will make music like beathoven/aphex/oneohtrix point never and so on and so forth obsolete, since music will basically be 'solved'.  WIll musicians basically die out?

Instead we'll get people posting curated music to 2150's youtube from AI they 'made' by pressing 'create album'.

Or would 'AI' music be looked down upon and not considered music? If that's so, then you'll have these music scandals involved with musicians who claim to make original music but just generate music via AI.

Then as the AI becomes better and better, you'll get these esoteric new genres all about subverting the limits of what AI can create.

It would also be interesting to see what kind of music AI's would make for each other, assuming they are programmed to like music.
