[QUOTE="Wayside, post: 950644, member: 8394"] Arravis, I knew this was coming when I woke up this morning. 72 sleepless hours apparently left me feeling a bit Homeric, as I can see I did a little cataloguing. You're tripping over the spaces while you walk around the points though. I know most of those. With the exception of Agent Orange and Tosca (when in the right mood), I don't like them. Here's a little moral story: I actually came across Tosca in the first place beacuse my ex-girlfriend, [I]who was not a gamer[/I], was first generation American-Polish. Her grandparents had a cat named Taska (or some other way of spelling it). I picked up Opera just because I thought it had the same name as the cat. If I wanted to be obscure I would mention bands you shouldn't have heard of, like vxtwitch, Shaolin Punk or The StillLife Projector. I was mentioning pack-leaders though, the obvious ones, the ones that sell out every show. The point applies to the shows too though: if I want a girlfriend I don't go to a Thursday show to find one because I want to make sure my girlfriend has the same taste in music as me. Is that obvious and unelitist enough for you? My point isn't that I'm cool because of the music, or that I choose friends based on their musical tastes (because I don't do that either; I end up getting my friends into this stuff long after we've become friends); it's that having an rpg in common [I]doesn't mean anything[/I] when it comes to dynamics between people. As evidenced by this conversation. [/B][/QUOTE] Those would be not the two biggest ones. You could probably add Fat Wrech Chords as the third. That's right. I'm holding interviews for slots on my friends list. Sorry you aren't qualified, based on a [I]resume[/I], a list of skills and experiences that have nothing to do with you as a person. But I wouldn't put any of those preconditions on any kind relationship. Kant yes. Goethe's poetry and drama, yes. However you're quite correct: I don't do philosophy of science. I wonder though if it is popular to misrepresent it in weak attempts at humor and Starbucks elitism, as is done to Freud and Nietzsche? Well talking to someone over a messageboard, missing their entire point and then judging them by your mistake will have that effect, won't it? You started off an aggressor, which puts me on the defensive; the dynamics of the conversation are not going to change. I don't mind letting your remarks go and not trying to justify myself to a random person on the internet anyway, so I think we can leave it at that. We could argue over what makes someone unique, but I will continually forget to care what you think, so let's not. [/QUOTE]
