@Thaminga I've seen what is effectively Hangul _fanfic_ on Omniglot, ffs. Yeah, I'm a big fan. It kinda DESERVES to be the only writing system with a holiday, yanno?

I started teaching myself the Thai alphabet (technically an abugida but w/ev). It is a beautiful writing system, with many distinct and practical glyphs such as: "snake", "other snake", "snake with hat", "wiggly snake with crinkled hat," "less wiggly snake with slightly more crinkled hat," "bird," "bird with tumor", "bird with fatal tumor", "goiter bird," "bird-snake," "crinkly bird snake," and "bird snake with wheels."

(deep down i know this is basically my own ignorant-ass american fault and it's not like english is a paragon of efficiency and sense either-- there might be some element of self-satire here...)

@anthracite Dammit, this panel is giving me MASSIVE deja vu, why is it giving me deja vu...

This Reddit post about what it's been like waiting for Trump's shit to hit the fan is AGONIZINGLY accurate.

i have never wished harder that i could code

@Phorm No, that's perfect! Chalk this one up as a granted wish on your daily performance charts. <3

(Given the lyrics of the Libythth cover are fucking indecipherable, this was like finding the goddamn Rosetta Stone for me. @Momentrabbit can vouch how much I can obsess over obscure lyric transcription. ^__^; )

TIL one of my favorite electronic songs is a classic hiphop cover and I just feel so... white right now. n.n;;

@kaputotter Yeah, exactly! We can puzzle out plenty of things it's useful for, but there are so many of them, and they have so little to do with each other on the surface.

It's just so damn _versatile_ compared to other emotions. It's even a good irony detector, and I can see how it would have been useful for early hominids to have an more advanced "whoa this does NOT make sense, WTF" instinct than less adaptable mammals...

OK, say I have a mid-2014 MacBook with High Sierra 10.13.6, and I want to play Jagged Alliance 2.

What would be the most efficient, direct, and low-tech-skill way I could go about this?

Yes, as a matter of fact I _am_ too lazy to Google it myself. :) I have a history of not being able to make heads or tails of the answers to similar questions anyhow... =n.n;=

@Austin_Dern I would DEFINITELY play the finance minister game. I've been very hungry for personnel management games that DON'T have any combat lately...

@kaputotter Come to think of it... humor is just a bizarre emotion to start with, innit. I'm grateful for it, it's a gift from the gods, but... speaking in pure ruthless evolutionary terms, WHAT THE HELL DOES IT ACTUALLY DO?! :)

@kaputotter Let's face it... mammal brains are just ludicrously easy to trick that way. :>

@Austin_Dern Relevant media?

@Austin_Dern That sounds incredibly dry and boring.

(inevitable comedic pause)

I'd play the shit out of it.

@anthracite Note again that Bywater is supposed to be wall-to-wall art galleries... <3
