rindolf | Prestige: it's funny - back in the 8th grade, my classmates and i took parts reading a Hebrew translation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misanthrope and at one point I was assigned to recite the role of the protagonist, and I purposely made him sound more dramatic and phony cuz it was more fun, I had nothing to lose (no one cares about your 8th grade "literature" class grades in .il). and my classmates and the teacher loved me! |
Prestige | Should've gone into drama in high school :P |
rindolf | Prestige: i think that was the tactic of Mel Brooks' films and Arnie and later Emma Watson |
rindolf | don't act naturally and convincingly - act to captivate the crowds |
rindolf | Prestige: heh, I became a blogger instead ;P |
rindolf | Prestige: web 1.0/early web 2.0 was dominated by writers and web comicsers |
Prestige | Speaking of that, I need to make another youtube video |
Prestige | I might go offtopic and talk about peanut butter |
rindolf | Prestige: do you mean "need" as in want? or "must" by decree of the gods/rules/guidelines? |
Prestige | as in want |
rindolf | Prestige: ah, then go for it |
* rindolf | is Prestige 's biggest cheerleader |
rindolf | maybe your video will get 10**9 views |
rindolf | probably not , but you should still try |
rindolf | i was happy with 1e5 views |
Prestige | I think my most viewed is like 3000, not sure |
Prestige | but I don’t make many |
rindolf | Prestige: i think the best strategy for winning is saying "sure, i'd like to win. i'll do my best to win wo spending too much time on that. and i'm not going to be an 'asshole' and hinder the other players, and certainly won't try to damage my or their physical health or lives. 2nd, 4th or last place is fine." |
rindolf | Prestige: oh - and i'll do it in my unique and quirky way |
rindolf | Prestige: i disabled youtube ads on most of my uploads due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule |
rindolf | Prestige: i think amateur vs. professional is a subcase of doing what you feel is best vs. what your 'authorities' tell you to |
rindolf | Prestige: i love the https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ceiling-cat meme because it made many church/etc. preachers rethink their strategy |
rindolf | Prestige: a fellow writer on https://web.mit.edu/mbarker/www/writers.html told me that 'linking is not writing' and that she doesn't have to learn sw dev (xhtml5/etc.). i didn't believe her. |
Prestige | linking is not writing? |
rindolf | Prestige: hyperlinking - <a href=... etc |
rindolf | Prestige: or even hello fluttershy ( https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Fluttershy )! |
rindolf | Prestige: i think https://slashdot.org/ are much less obsessed against "self-promotion" than redditors and they also are infatuated with star wars ep. I-III and Natalie Portman. this may all work to my advantage with https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Queen-Padme-Tales/teaser/ |
rindolf | CppCon: i'm a spammer king... ahm hacker king |
rindolf | i think "to know" in Hebrew meant something close to many of the modern meanings of "to hack" |
rindolf | e.g: to conceive something w joy, including a perl/python script |
rindolf | one of my pupils who was a female religious Jew said writing a perl script felt close to giving birth |
pulse_ | we have room temperature, but do we have rune temperature |
MrFlibble | if god exists then god is Odin. |
pulse_ | i thought we settled on Thor being the cooler one |
MrFlibble | Odin is the main one. |
pulse_ | what about Zeus |
MrFlibble | does Greek Mythology predate Norse? |
pulse_ | I don't know |
pulse_ | i think Shiva would beat both their asses though |
MrFlibble | I suppose Ra predates them both |

MrFlibble | rindolf is a MOSSAD spy. |
rindolf | MrFlibble: I iz! Mossad agent no. 2.1beta |

Hail_Santa | Israelis are so weird |
rindolf | meanwhile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_facts is the number 1 CIA assassin. he kills people using his mind |

rindolf | Hail_Santa: hard working / non-introspecting / conformists / sadists are useless as they are to the top commando units. They'd much rather hire a girl who spent her entire adolscentehood writing mlp/spongebob/sesame street/celeb gossip/star wars/etc. crossovers |
rindolf | Note that even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger is now an "amateur"/geek - he played in films in an overemotional way on purpose to draw the crowds (and anger the "professional" film critics - fuck them!) |
rindolf | his daughters are not bodybuilders... ;) |
