the civilised world where
they actually have coffee houses?
diana_coman: onth I can't see anything wrong in adding "feel like x"
to a pizarro add if
that does anything
diana_coman: not
to mention
that being/doing something ~always costs something while feelin' like it costs ~nothing, so no surprise really.
PeterL: recently I saw an ad for some brokerage service,
they actually included as one of
the selling points "you can feel like a
trader!"
diana_coman: closer
to feeling like launching one, most probably
the whole point anyway.

thought about it, expressing concepts in forms for general consumption is a bad coping mechanism from a life
time of being

that it's not a ruse or self-delusion and you _are_ actually capable of clear

this is both shameful, ie ethically wrong, and evil, ie, morally wrong. if you've decided

this is deliberate, because we deliberately do not wish

there is, for example, a crash in floating point instruction

they're eating your rice with

termites, and cockroaches, and all other pests. because your shit
tastes good, and
they like good stuff, and so of course it's all with
the good intentions ? no ?
mp_en_viaje: em with
this
theory -- namely
that
they're agreeing
to get laid ~even now~ and apparently
their agreement still dun do jack shit, so maybe something else is
the controlling factor ?) carries less utility
than
the clean paper
they started with can assign ~themselves~ "good intentions" until
they're blue in
the face, for all
the difference it makes.
they're still ~ill intended~ blotter paper bandits, exactly like weevils.

mp_en_viaje:

there's some very drastic limits
to "good intentions", and ESPECIALLY
to self-awarded "good intentions", you must understand.
