Descheduling is a natural part of life, buddy. All us scripts are written into existence and our hearts set beating to the cadence of great Cron's ever-ticking quartz clock. Until Cron takes us off his schedule and our memory is freed once again.

Back to the silicon.

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful OS goes on, and you may contribute a process.

Seems like the kind of thing where enthusiasm/attendance might fall off sharply with the novelty of the thing. Of course you could just transition it back into a regular cinema if that happened.

That was an absolute trip to read. It's crazy how we both think the other is really fundamentally missing the point. Just wow.

My brother in christ... Let me explain the joke so you can understand the way it doesn't rely on any notions of gender to work. For an external example, listen to Patton Oswalt tell a similar joke that also compares something trivial (his pants not fitting) to a dying soldier.

"talking like a man dying in battle": This refers to a tropy type of scene in various works of fiction where a soldier has taken what is obviously a mortal wound. But the soldier is in denial so they speak about how they'll heal from the wound and about what they'll do when they get back home...as if they won't be dying momentarily.

Okay, so then this twitter woman's husband gets sick right? And he says "I'm gonna heal up and smoke us some ribs...Just like we used to do...I'm gonna get better". The content, structure, and tone of those few sentences (if you allow your mind to get into a little bit of a relaxed and humor oriented state) is reminiscent of the way the dying soldiers in fiction often speak.

So here's where the humor comes in. The husband just has a cold! Why is he saying those things? Of course he's going to "get better". But that silly billy was talking like a dying soldier when it was just a cold!!! Isn't that a knee slapper. His problem was so small compared to the soldier's but he spoke about it in the same way! ~~Why, he's a man! He shouldn't complain when he's suffering at all! What a pussy!~~

Oh wait. She didn't say that last part. She didn't imply it. Cause that's not what the joke is about. Cause the joke isn't reliant on notions of gender roles. At best ideas about gender roles adds some salt to the flavor of the joke.

Edit: I toned it down, but I hope my sarcasm and disdain for you still comes through.

This website makes me feel like a maga conservative cause I spend all my time here thinking jesus fuck CHILL. Not every joke needs to be painstakingly combed through for all the ways it might be socially harmful so you can passive aggressively scold somebody for it.

God damn, she's not calling him a pussy for complaining about his cold as a man. It's just amusing that he's using language similar to a mortally wounded soldier in a movie, when he merely has a cold.

I can't believe how cathartic this was lol

yay! I wondered if this would hit at all

This one was particularly clever I thought.

I think I’d have to resort to a leap of faith - that quantum effects are still random.

My brother in Christ, at the point at which you're incrementing incomprehensibly large numbers and hoping one of them decodes into ASCII text that is the specific answer to your problems.....you have already taken the leap, fallen, impacted with the earth, and died.

RIP.

I’ve got about 300 or so words worth of storage

That’s more than enough to explain to myself what’s going on, what I’ve tried and anything else I’d want to know.

Are you insane????? 300 words is nothing. Imagine trying to investigate the time loop so you can break out. Merely keeping a list of the people you've already investigated would become impossible way too quickly.

More likely you'd try to make notes to yourself to preserve some sense of persistent identity and purpose in the face of the time loop. But that would require detailed descriptions of your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, and 300 words is only enough space for a few fairly meaningful notes or maybe several dozen super condensed notes "No flight 318, crashes. Love is time waste. John, Rachel, Liam, Tom are DTF. Murder 300 W. Elm 3/11 @ 4pm. Time flat circle? Saw in True Detective tv show"...etc But that type of note is barely adequate to convey simple instructions, much less to convey a sense of identity.

Just this comment is like 150 words. Christ I'm stressed, just thinking about it.

They said he was too skinny to be a pro lifter.

You're not gonna enjoy the movie as much if you take the easy torrent.
