wait, really? ohhh shit that's cool

fact: it's impossible to practice chopping firewood because at the end, you still have firewood.

is there a word for something like that? where there's no other way to practice something than by actually doing it?

[lazlo falconi]

I don't know man, even Doctors in the ER still call it practice.

Well obviously you practice chopping foam blocks first.

[Vicious Parker]

I can't help but think that the word your looking for is, in fact, just "practice." Which... I don't know.

Suddenly, lots of snow.

That aside, practice just means actually doing a thing (as opposed to talking or thinking about it), regardless of whether you know how to do it well.

[Donkeymog]

You too? What's it all aboot?

[Xteven Xavier]

none here, ha!

The snow I mentioned melted by the end of the day.
But then it snowed like mad overnight. Work is opening an hour late today.

[Hyperlisk]

It snowed here (Idaho) on Friday. Really random. Same thing though lots of snow but it didn't stick.

The heck are you doing in Idaho? How long has this been going on?

I was going to try to get in to using Vimeo more, since they seem to have some quality stuff, including this short movie, which I posted here a few weeks ago. But when I check the channels under "Science and Tech," nearly every channel listed was about politics or religion. By the time I realized that channel makers probably chose their own categories, and can probably choose several (like tags), I already had a bad taste in my mouth that I couldn't wash out. And that's not just because I blended some wine in to smoothie I just made.

So, I decided to go check youtube's recommendations. None of my subscriptions have updates, so I checked the main "What to watch on youtube" page. To no surprise, the headliner video at this moment is yet another black person on a news report describing something in the way that only poor black people can: hilariously! Well, unless the joke stopped being funny after all your people got snatched up.

I gave in and tried watching a Game Grumps video, where they played Goldeneye against each other, and as I suspected in another thread, it was stupid. I think I've just realized that these guys don't really have anything to be grumpy about. The whole video was just swearing and trying to make jokes about the 15 year old 3D graphics. Quality. Gaming. Content. I won't make that same mistake twice.

All of this, and other things, has made me just realize... I dunno. I think this video pretty much sums up how I feel about internets

That sucks man, when I look around at the content on the Internet my reaction is like this:

[Xteven Xavier]

Whenever I look around the Internet I feel like this.

[lazlo falconi]

Whenever I look around on youtube I find stuff like this

I met a girl from Utah while I was up in Alaska. And so here I am. We wanted somewhere in the middle of California and Utah, and there isn't really anything in Nevada, so... Idaho. I've been here for about four months now.

You people have such dissimilar lives.
