... ah, there it is.
E: Also, damn, my memory some days. Why do I recall offhand things from over two years ago?

Though it did take a minute or two of going, "What?" to figure it out. Kinda' stopped considering the day significant, like. The year after.

Ah, this thing. Young, but... it has promise, and updating alright. Also a thing of cheer, so far.

« on: September 10, 2013, 04:10:40 pm »The idea that through mild disapproval you can turn someone into a psychological wreck? The idea that the strength of the mind is paradoxical at best?Again, that's... not even remotely odd. Stress is bad for you. Even light degrees of it, especially if it's consistent over a long period of time. It'll bugger a person up. Cause of the stress is fairly irrelevant, so far as I'm aware, so long as it's occuring. S'one of the reasons stress is so bad for you, since it (on the basic physical side of things) is a fairly regular (set of) reaction(s) to a potentially very wide array of stimulants (many/most of which stress reactions are frankly detrimental for dealing with). Keep flooding the body with stuff that basically causes it to break and, well. It breaks.
I'd say there is an oddness about it.

... you... you don't actually know much about how the practice of science works, do you MSH? Because what people think and what tradition says is true has (and has had) a hell of a lot of influence on the actual practice of scientific research, and apparently claiming that it doesn't just... flies in the face of basically everything.
Does tend to do pretty well over the long term for correcting that sort of thing, yes, but the short to mid term (you know, a generation, a lifetime, little things like that) have been kind of fraught -- and continue to be fraught -- with institutional inertia and its varying accouterments getting in all sorts of the way. Especially in the field of psychology and psychiatry. Which. Yeah. That is why you don't defer exclusively to medical science. How, when, and where it fucks up and has consistently fucked up is a known factor we haven't fully been able to correct for, yet. Scientific research has its fairly consistent methodological errors, y'dig?

Also:
And while we all have different experiences, the physical differences between the brains of individuals are low enough that what can be empirically determined is what can and must form the basis.We're not actually at the point we can tell, physically, exactly what and how crap is buggering up in quite a few bloody cases. So that sort of thing isn't always an option, yeah.

« on: September 09, 2013, 08:48:10 pm »Why would I not want to be where I'm going as soon as possible?Haha! Marginal utility, my dear Aqizzar! Effort expenditure for marginal gain -- gain on the next unit of effort. Especially with vehicles, it's thoroughly diminishing, requiring greater and greater effort for smaller and smaller returns. "Soon as possible" is nice, but when you can get nearly that with a fraction of the effort...
'Course, with vehicles in particular I've found it (hurrying) just doesn't really pay off. Between the whole diminishing returns thing and traffic, it's been bloody close to 50/50 odds that my speed-limit going, sticking to turn lane (usually right, because I've purposefully chosen the route that does that) arse gets where going either before the speeding, lane-swapping folks (and let me tell you, getting passed like five or six times on the same stretch of road by the same person is grade A Sisyphean comedy) or barely minutes after. 5-10 miles over the limit just doesn't really make a difference in the short run, y'know? Minutes at most, and sometimes not even that. And a lot of times, I've found it doesn't really help that much in the long run, either. There's probably some kind of word for it used by those folks that design roads and whatnot, ha. Imagine it factors into long distance freight, too...

« on: September 09, 2013, 08:19:00 pm »The right question is, why are you not in a hurry?... because hurrying is generally just kinda' annoying. Much more pleasurable not having to, and not. So I make sure I don't have to, and don't
M'gonna' be where I want to be, when I want to be, and I'm going to get there at the pace I want to go -- the rest of the world can generally be damned. So long as th'law's not being broken, anyway.Hurry is a sign of failure, for me. It means I've failed to allocate my time correctly, and now have to move faster than a normal, relaxed, pace in order to do what needs be done. It means my movements are dictated by someone or something else's whims. Means I'm not where I wanted to be at the time I wanted to be there, so now I can no longer decide the pace. So I do my darnedest not to do it, yes.

Note to self: If food, horrible deformities may put off being eaten.
Though that does kinda' make me wonder... with aquarium food, do they cook the ones that die of old age?
