Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.
Oh well in these terms, I actually think there could be a good river metaphor, or rather a good river delta metaphor, for how one handles multiple independent datastreams, or how one processes their world and breaks it up into different compartmentalized areas or disciplines of their world, partitioning out information flows, through a sort of interoception delta, into their respective life domains.At least you tried.
Luke has abandoned me because he is scared I will surpass his symbolic talents
Clinamenic isn't answering because he didn't realize that datastream is also an admissible topic
Mr Tea just hates me
Please don't let me stop you, I only tag people I feel comfortable nagging and annoying, I have too much respect for you GovHad you tagged me, I would have discharged 1 million cubic metres of polished riparian oddities and recollections per second. I've been thinking about this thread all morning.
its easy once you know how.OK Luka is still a better more developed symbologist than me, I retract my earlier insinuation, altho I do not regret it, since it was effective provocation
Thank you Luke for your great efforts and insights I will draw a medal with your name on it into the dedicatory preface of the most important book ever written
can probably do some other stuff with underground rivers
You ignoramus I've written tens of thousands of words already these themes. not only do I know about naiads I know about oceanides and potamoi. not only do I know about the accumulatino of sediment but I also know about the processes of erosion, attrition, and abrasion, and how differences in fluid speed acceleration and the surface area to mass ratio of the particulate alters how and whether these processes take place. ive catalogued the typical composition of silt, researched the most common organic and inorganic particulates (quartz, feldspar) and learned about the sorting process of granules of sands on a beach in the tides. ive read twains accounts of the mississippi and dickens' description of riverboats as wedding cakes. i know the ratio of cords of wood burned by a riverboat per day to the number of cords used to heat an average new england home in winter. i can describe the composition of coquina depositions and compare and contrast the almond shape of braid bars with the crescent shapes of point bars to the deardrop shape of deltaic mouth bars. i know the primary ways to prevent erosion and its primary accelerators. i can list the ten greatest discoveries of the mudlarks on the thames and how the white sands of hawaiian beaches are the skeletons of coral digested by parrotfish.Americans are so idle
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
And ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
just met the first boss and that's too hard for me can't be fucked with it
The New Mexico of the Olde WorldWales is landlocked right? like new mexico or something
that's right. it has to import all it's water from overseas.
