[OOC] Myriad Reality

Part of it was self inflicted, unfortunately. I don't really like the class/professor, so even though the instructions were to write "a short (few paragraphs and figures) report," I wrote 2,000 words. But since I put so much time and effort into the project itself, that professor is going to take that journey with me and he's going to understand every bit of pain and blood that went into it.

When I was writing that response, one of the sentences I decided to cut was actually about how I don't know whether I'd consider it spike. I actually did just legitimately have 2,000 words worth of stuff to day.

@Legend

If you had to ask, there's only one real answer, General Spite. /s

I would never do that much extra work for most anything.

@GalaxyRaider

I wanted to go a little bit above and beyond because I kind of have a little game thing going with a lot of my professors (long story), but I wish I could have capped it closer to 1000 than 2000, since that's a little excessive. But I did put a plot twist at the end, so that was cool.

"Little game."
It's what your professors want you to think. They're manipulating you into working more.

Nahhh.

Also there's the spite aspect to it.

Because it's not a direct meme. It's a reference. Only meme newbies with uncultured palates require direct callbacks to memes instead of light references with hints of other underlying memetic structures. It's like a well seasoned and tender steak versus one just thrown on the grill quickly. Sure, it'll still probably be good, but it has a long way to go.

@Legend

That's literally the opposite of what memes are supposed to be. That's why they're called "memes." They're a very specific "cultural" identifier that causes certain reactions. Every "meme" is a reference, to reference a reference requires skill that you clearly didn't put into it. No steak can come out well when you grill it on the wood of a firepit.

@DarkwolfX37

Yeah, that's because what I gave wasn't a meme. It was a reference. It was memetic genesis.

I went to Sheetz to grab some dinner and some guy just collapsed out of his seat and had a seizure about ten feet from me.

I don't know where that is.

Hope the guy's okay.

@Legend

It's a restaurant and gas station whose thing is that they are never closed.

He is. I was a split second from calling 911 when the guy's friend told me that he was alright, it has happened before and that the guy would come to very soon. He did, as soon as he was done talking. Started telling me tgat he was fine and that it was just a reaction to whenever he gets dizzy, which I thought was strange, but whatever. We got him some napkins for his bloody nose, and other than that it was all fine. The thing that baffled me most was why no one but his friend and I stopped what they were doing to help him.

That's a thing? I thought just about all places did hat these days.

Oh man, if you haven't seen it, you'll love this:



This is a huge deal in psychology—people just don't care about others for the most part. If they do, it's probably because other people do and they're taking social cues.
