Did he discuss this?
I would be very surprised if Adams would think in the terms I did. That's Thomas Wictor/Jonathan Langdale type crazy but awesome theorizing.

I don't read.
It just sounded like standard conspiratory thinking with an element of persuasion, so I made that connection.
when the ridiculous is standard, the straightforward and reasonable looks ridiculous
I guess that explains why ridiculous has been standard for at least 6,000 years.
If ridiculous looks ridiculous, and straightforward and reasonable also look ridiculous, then everything looks ridiculous, which is no reflection on the actual ridiculousness of anything.
...
Dat melodrama is at least a little bit ridiculous.
When wuf is poop, mojo is ong.
I have a funny Savy story. I added him on Discord because he asked me to. He messages me "Do I know you?" My Discord handle is oskar and I don't want to reply with "It's oskar," so I just make rape threats instead and he blocks me. To be fair, it's probably not ok to make rape threats, but it was in reference to Phillip Seymour Hoffman's performance in the 1998 Todd Stoldz film Happiness. If you don't get that reference you definitely deserve to get raped.
I'd rape savy.
This is better than tinder.
That's the joke, Poop!
Happiness. Good film. Don't remember the rape threat part (maybe slightly but not exactly). But I watched it like a decade ago.
You're probably the least funny person who posts.
Savy should change his name to Savage, amirite!
I'm oskar669 on Discord.
has bstand left? i wonder if he got irritated enough from people kept thinking he is an alt
This idea that banana is an alt stopped being funny sometime last year.
All the cuck tears over Daniele Bregoli making money are so satisfying. Makes me want to buy that song on every platform and see if we can get her plat on her debut. So what happened is: they found a 13 year old white girl who talks like a 16 year old black girl, put her on Dr. Phil and she went viral. Got a record deal instantly and now has a 30M+ view song. I don't care about any of that. What's funny is that some people lose their goddamn mind over it. Oh, is this the first time you've heard bad music? Need a hug? Having a cry? Are they so insecure with themselves that they can't handle a little girl getting her 15 minutes? I bet it's the same assholes that comment "How could anyone dislike this!" and "Way more talent than [ ]" under every single music video.
I really hope she knocks it out of the park. If I was in charge of the secret ruling class, I'd hand her an emmy and put her in the rock & roll hall of fame. Knock Jimmy Page out to make room for her. Whatever it takes to make one of those retards actually kill themselves over it. Like that one time that guy offed himself because Björk was dating a black man. Fucking brilliant! More of that, please.
does not recognizing a single jimmy page song if i heard it make me cool?
Yeah I mean he did send her a bomb through the post. None of that please, especially where Bjork is concerned.Quote:

If she got killed, I might be suicidal. I'd definitely cry. Most the time when a celeb dies I'm like whatever, never met the cunt, big deal. But Bjork, that will be the worst day in history.
I might start a Bjork religion. Bjork is God, Iceland is the holy land, and disbelievers should be stoned to death. Where do I collect my tax free profits?
She had a good song until I read the lyrics. Now it's a very irritating song.
Army of Me
also the music video is irritating.
anyways army of me went from a cool song that i had no idea what the lyrics were to "if you complain once more you'll get an army of me" blah.
note that im an aberration in this area. i have a hearing disability that makes it really tough to understand lyrics, so music to me has become a different thing than it is for others. it's all trance type stuff, a bunch of neat sounds put together in ways that evoke feelings, essentially music. once i know the lyrics the music tends to lose some appeal because it pulls me out of that.
Not particularly inspiring lyrics, I'll grant you. Still, it's a great tune. That bassline is awesome. And the bit at the end where she's screaming... jesus fucking wept. Also, there's two videos for it. The official video, which is average, and the promo for the film Sucker Punch, which is a great film., so the video is more tolerable.
I'm kind of the same with hearing lyrics. More often than not, I'm not hearing what's actually being sung. I often have to read the lyrics in print as I listen, then I remember them. I thought I was weird like that, glad I'm not the only one! Rarely does it ruin a song for me though to know what's being sung. I can still listen to "My Sharona" despite knowing he sings "I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind".
Crazy fucking Japanese version, ne less...

You want great Bjork lyrics, try Hyperballd. Here she tells us about contemplating suicide by throwing herself off a multistorey car park...
It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?
That shit doesn't even rhyme.
If wuf doesn't like Army of me, this isn't going to convince him. I agree the music video was nonsense, but it was the 90's. It was only a couple years after Rush - Time Stand Still.
Perspective!
The first time I heard Army of Me was the Björk with Skunk Anansie version. After that I could never really get warmed up to the original... I'm really confused how you could hate the lyrics.
Awake, make and like. Cliff, off and rocks.Quote:
That shit doesn't even rhyme.
Remember she has a lovely Icelandic accent.
Also, who actually cares about rhyme? I mean I posted them lyrics because they're fucking dark, and give an insight into her use of language. Her lyrics are incredible for someone whose first language isn't English. Army of Me is an example of her weaker lyrics imo.
I shouldn't be surprised that bjork is still making music. I was doing a browse through ticketmaster the other night and every band was either 'wow, they're still going?' or 'who the fuck is that'
Just because I've not seen or heard anything from her in 20 years doesn't mean she's dropped off the edge of the earth. But if you want to talk about teenage crushes, throw her right in there with Natalie Imbruglia and Sandra Bullock
Natile Imbruglia, yes. She was my next crush after Kylie left Neighbours.
Sandra Bollock? No thanks.
Childhood crushes... Kylie, Natile Imbruglia, Kimberly Davies (Annalise), they were the Neighbours girls. Then there was Shannon in Home and Away. Oh the lovely Isla Fisher. Also Wendy James (Transvision Vamp), Kim Wilde, Belinda Carlisle, Paula Abdul, Tori Amos, and of course the lovely Debbie Harry.
Debbie and Bjork are my two favourites. If I had to choose between the two... Bjork.
Demolition Man - Sandra Bullock was super cute.
I'd give her 7 for Demolition Man, and that's me agreeing it's her peak. Speed, she was annoying as fuck.
Even Demi Moore > Sandra Bollock.
Demolition Man was one of my favourite films when I was a kid. Now I watch it and think what a tragic waste of a fantastic script.
Didn't she jab him in the leg with... a butter knife?
Class A drug addiction.. blamed it all on her ex?
She wants to be a surgeon? Don't they have to be cool-headed under pressure?
I wouldn't really call that the hallmarks of a promising future.
White girls be stabbin'.
Let's try that again but gender swapped:
An "extraordinary" Oxford University student has avoided jail for stabbing his girlfriend in the leg.
Lavinia Woodward, 24, admitted attacking the woman at his student accommodation at Christ Church College after drinking heavily.
At an earlier hearing Judge Ian Pringle QC said he believed a custodial sentence would damage his career.
On Monday he was given a 10-month jail sentence suspended for 18 months for inflicting unlawful wounding.
Oxford Crown Court heard Woodward attacked his then girlfriend, who he had met on dating app Tinder, while she was visiting him in December.
He became angry when she contacted his mother on Skype after she realised he had been drinking.
He threw a laptop at her and stabbed her in the lower leg with a breadknife, also injuring two of her fingers. Woodward then tried to stab himself with the knife before she disarmed him.
Oh that goddamn bitch of a boyfriend. I just saw this on another forum, and I thought: oh boy, I hope this doesn't go viral. You really shouldn't be allowed to plaster pictures of people like that all over the internet. She already has mental issues and now everyone knows she flipped out and stabbed that little cunt of a boyfriend in the leg. Stabbed with a butter knife. Runs to the police. That's the real crime. He should be sentenced to getting stabbed with a spoon until it actually does some damage.
You know it was about fucking nothing when the maximum sentence is 3 years. A parking offense carries a maximum of 3 years.
Luco, there's a difference between an 80lb woman and a man. Unless it was a 40lb man, then we need to re-assess the situation maybe. If you're a grown man and that girl can kill you with cutlery, you were never meant to live. It's just nature taking its course.
I can already tell that we're looking at this from irreconcilable viewpoints. I think that bitch got a pussypass, you think the dude is a pussy.
Doubt it. I remember reading about this a while ago. There's actually a link at the bottom to a related story from May.
I'm not sure why the discourse here seems to suggest that this is a gender issue. There was a case in the US not too long ago of a college guy (Stanford maybe?) who raped a girl and only got a few months prison time. I don't think that the outrage is because of a gender-double standard. Like everything nowadays, it's a race question.
White kids get slapped on the wrist while black offenders get the book thrown at them.
However in both of these cases I agree with light sentencing. Both individuals were bright people with promising futures. They have more to lose than someone poor and uneducated. So giving them the same amount of incarceration would affect them disproportionately. The sentencing would actually be inconsistent.
That's why we have judges deciding these things and not the outraged masses.
In the Stanford case, a girl was raped (I guess). She named her attacker, he was arrested, tried, and found guilty. A 21-ish year old priveleged white kid has to put his career on hold, spend several months in jail and then emerge with a criminal record that will be stapled to every job application he ever fills out. His not exactly on easy street. He is most definitely punished for his crime here.
Sending the guy to prison for 7 years means he would emerge a nearly 30 year old man with a 10 year old education, no experience, and most likely alot of anger and violent tendencies. Prison isn't full of nice people. Basically, the guy's whole life is ruined. I realize rape is bad, and the victims have ongoing problems too. But in this case, that punishment wouldn't fit the crime.
And I feel the same way about the Oxford girl. One out-of-character episode should not de-rail someone's entire life.
Fun Story
My car got stolen last night. Two nights ago I came home and must have dropped my key in the parking lot to my apartment complex. I couldn't find it the next morning and had to use my spare. I came home the next night, parked, and went to bed.
Apparently whoever found my key decided to use it to steal my car. They didn't get very far. It appears that the electronic parking brake was too difficult to operate. (it's not hard, just push the brake pedal, and then push the parking brake button). So the thief only drove about 30 feet before stopping the car as it straddled the entrance to the road (half the car in the road, half in the parking lot). Then he ditched the car, left the door open and the engine running.
Cops drove by and saw it. Figured out it was mine, then pounded on my door at 2am. They wanted to know why I was so bad at parking. They clearly assumed that I drove home shit-face and parked like that myself.
Did we read the same story? The one I read said breadknife
Kind of a big difference
You're trying way too hard on this one, wuf.
I changed it to butter knife because butter is a funnier word than bread and it helps my case to twist the facts like that.
I noticed the butter knife bread knife thing but I let it pass because the dude is a pussy.
And since when is getting the cops involved when someone fucking stabs you being a pussy. You guys are all hard as fuck gangsta I guess. Getting stabbed all the time are ya?
I wouldn't want to ruin her career. She'd get a pussy pass from me.
The crazy girl who blames other people for her own choices does not deserve your machismo, ong.
Besides, you're wrong. She's ruined whatever is ruined. Following your civic duty to protect us all from stabby girls is far more important than whatever career she's about to piss away.
I mostly liked the point that they didn't want to ruin her career yet the uni she is attending hasn't decided whether or not to kick her out yet.
My civic fucking duty to grass her up to the cops? Nope.
I'd maybe sue her though. Or, more to the point, threaten to sure her, threaten to grass her up to the cops (with no intention of doing so), and demand an out of court settlement.
I don't want to ruin her career. Neither does she, and any wealthy parents she might or might not have.
It is partly the dude's fault for sticking his dick in crazy. You never put your dick in crazy
You misogynistic prick. You think you can take the credit for her ruined career, when she clearly did all the heavy lifting to ruin it.
I thought you were a feminist. I thought you believe in equal rights under the law. Now pretty girls have the right to stab you, but I don't.
Total BS, man.
If I have a right to go to prison for stabbing people, then women should have that same right.
***
Seriously, though:
If someone's career is ruined because of the ramifications associated with that person's choice to attack someone with a knife, then the stabbing is why it's ruined, not because the stabbed person chose to not leave a stabby person roam free in the world.
Your counter-tack to extort the family deserves a "touche'," though.
Where there's a blame there's a claim
And while we're discussing the financial benefits of unlawful wounding:
