POST OF THE DAY

I got linked this:

Didn't know anything about the guy but it's one of the most whiny, self absorbed 'Fuck The System MAAAAN' drug trips as he screws anyone who was interested in his creative work.  It's kinda something else, so had to share for o_O.

So what I'm getting from this is that he (or she?) doesn't believe in valuing money, and since money shouldn't be valued, he's not going to pay money like for rent or for refunding purchases.

All right: I want direct funding for my living necessities.

...But people who have money should give it to him, because let's not value money!

If you have been skimming this to get the "gist" of it, it is not going to work in my opinion. If you are reading this to summarize it for someone else, please fuck yourself instead if possible.

Well, okay then.

Ok, it took me a while to read through all of that rambling, partially incoherent rant against...against something. >_<

This part here stood out in particular to me:

"If you have negative feelings about the actions I am taking, that is part of what I am protesting against. I am protesting the values you use to determine how you feel about and interact with the world."

What. The. Fuck.

That is some of the most twisted logic I've ever seen. I'm right because I'm right and you're wrong because you're wrong? That's...there's just no way to argue against that. Just walk away. Walk away quickly.

Well, remember, he swindled 50,000 dollars out of over a thousand of his fans first.

And then lost it all to the publishers most likely because he did almost no math on what these things cost to do :P

Also, money is worthless and there's no value in the dead money thing that rich people have to even offer to help out struggling non rich people.

Also people that want things should just get them and it's a terrible society that frowns on behavior of just taking what you want, and that people struggle with the results of buying tons of shit you don't need is moooonsterous.

So messed up.

[KLSymph]

It certainly is convenient how he come to not value money after receiving some but before repaying it.  He couldn't have that epiphany before the Kickstarter, or heaven forbid, be the rich guy who gives to the unfortunate.  And of course, he wants to be taken care of before spreading the donations to others, and not other people first.

I wonder if this isn't intentionally trying to portray the kind of welfare moocher that talking points are made about, but that's edging into politics so I'll not delve there.

This is pretty darn funny.

Enjoyable. Makes me wish the series would actually get animated (and have this amusingly misleading opening).

Wh-what have you done? I can't stop listening to them now. o_o

This is pretty f'n amazing: http://www.spritzinc.com/

On the top phone section, the far right drop down will let you change speeds.

I tried it on 650 and I could keep up, but it took an uncomfortable amount of focus for my eyes.

Warning, the following video contains footage from dashboard cams in Russia. Definitely not for the faint of heart. The number of near misses and crashes that people actually walk away from in this had me on the edge of my seat. Plus the music was pretty good too.

What if zombies took over the world...and two of them were intelligent enough to talk about it?
