Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions. If one has a mind which inclines to magic rather than science, one will prefer to speak of these equations as spells or incantations; it sounds more arcane, mysterious, recondite.

Ezra Pound (via palingenesis144)

This reminds me a bit of Mezangelle, which I could never get into but always loved the aesthetic of. It’s easy to imagine a religious or magical permutation of Mezangelle.

Excellent, now I can tell people the reason I don’t like poetry is that it’s a branch of mathematics.

the assumption is that the tech giants’ battle for global supremacy will have positive externalities on net, but it’s difficult to compare with the counterfactual world in which they calm the heck down.

this makes it sound like they are giant cyborgs literally fighting

which sounds really cool

but it’s hard to imagine giant robot battles having positive externalities

We propose that the packaging of mandatory binding arbitration clauses as a condition of employment masks the true price of these agreements due to a mismatch in the available leverage of firms and employees in many markets.

To increase the efficiency of the market for the waiver of legal rights of redress to wrongdoing by private parties, we propose that mandatory binding arbitration clauses as a condition of employment shall be prohibited and struck out as null and void.  Binding arbitration agreements shall then be negotiated between employers and employees, offering material compensation, allowing them to float in price so that the market can work efficiently and determine the true price of cyberpunk dystopia.

there’s like anime and then there’s anime

the former is animated storytelling and the latter is weaponised nominally female hyperstimulus

I think I even say the two words slightly differently

mitigatedchaos

but what if one is a weaponized, nominally-female hyperstimulus, eh? eh?

you can’t deny their identity like that, Argumate!  people have a right to purchase bodies with enormous breasts, oversized eyes, tiny waists that would snap an ordinary human woman in half, and megathighs.  and how can anyone say that the moe-moe set of personality and quirk/behavior templates is invalid?  some people have that as their natural personality, or were raised in moe no otaku cultures like Neo-Kyoto.  what about their rights?  

and what about survivors of the Second Gate communities that are rebelling against the hard restrictions from there?

some people?? are anime girls?? to cope???

don’t be so insensitive
