Say hi to my nigga harambe if you do
Well, Loretta, won't you say to me, "Darlin', put your guitar on! Have a little shot of booze and sing a blue and wailin' song."?
>>695668764
I disagree. Maybe the waves will take me down to see Kathleen.
>>695668828
I don't know what that means.
>>695668764
they aren't a figment of the imagination. They were agreed upon, therefor they exist.
>>695669002
Can you point to them physically? Is there a physical embodiment of the rules? No, because they exist solely in the mind.
>>695668682
Sauce on artist?
Well won't you lend your lungs to me, mine are collapsin'.
>>695669129
Sorry, can't help you.
>>695669108
I can point at them actually. Just read the rules on this site. I can literally point at the words.
>>695669411
But what are words if not arbitrary sounds correlating to ideas?
>>695669211
Dax Riggs does a really good cover of this classic Townes tune...
>>695669568
There are no good covers of Townes. There are only good covers by Townes.
>>695669214
Unf. I want that inside me.
>>695669568
>Dax Riggs
Mah nigga. Acid Bath is the shit. I'm surprised to see him mentioned here.
>>695669558
Words are not arbitrary. They are agreed upon. We have chosen that some collections of sounds and/or writing meaning.
>>695669890
They are entirely arbitrary, hence why there are so many different languages.
>>695669890
have meaning*. My bad, a little drunk.
>>695670028
How little? We talkin' like a midget, or just a tiny man?
>>695669874
Would you be my slave if I let my dog fuck you?
>>695669991
arbitrary: based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
Language is based on some sort of reason, and most definitely a system.
>>695669874
I've known him personally for ten years now. He's a rare human being.
>>695670148
He'd be your slave even without that. He's pretty grody.
>>695670225
Not at all. What is the reason we call a tree a tree? You can have a system and have that system be entirely arbitrary.
>>695670102
That was pretty funny. I actually chuckled. Well done.
>>695670148
Are you a girl?
>>695670280
No shit? That's fucking awesome dude. I didn't start listening to Acid Bath until a couple months ago (although I knew of them a few years ago) and those two albums are some of favorite ever, especially amongst sludge metal. That's badass that you know him.
>>695670347
You are a liar.
>>695670364
Never laugh at fool's jokes. It only encourages him. And we wouldn't want that!
>>695670347
system: a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method
>>695670535
Fuck no.
>>695670549
Whatever, I still thought it was a little humorous.
>>695670754
Well that's a shame. I'm afraid I'll have to decline.
>>695670347
The key word is organized.
>>695670830
So Youu take a dogs dick over a humans.
You got some problems.
>>695670535
I'm a fool. I can only speak truth.
>>695670593
That doesn't exclude it at all from arbitrariness.
>>695670793
Well I find this humerus.
>
>>695670925
The key word is arbitrary. I am organized in my approach but am entirely arbitrary.
>>695670148
I see what you did there
>>695671388
No, I'm just not going to be someone's slave unless they're a girl. I like submissive femboys, I'd like to be the slaver, not the slave.
>>695670535
You should check out his other work, more recent stuff. deadboy and the Elephantmen, Agents of Oblivion, and his solo work...
In a weird twist, he's best friends with Townes's son, J.T. It's a small world.
>>695671388
I told you he's Adrian Grody.
>>695671651
Will do, broseph. Thanks.
>>695671657
You don't know me.
>>695671657
No idea who that is.
>>695671581
Why do you want to be enslaved by a weaker sex? Let a man be your Master.
What you say counts!

>>695671825
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
>>695671955
I have a thing for femdom. And I'm not submissive unless it's for an amazon girl.
>>695671981
Well okay, I can't really argue with that.
>>695671448
Once again for the language portion;
arbitrary: based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system
language: the system of communication used by a particular community or country.
>>695671209
I enjoy that get-up.
>>695672078
You like one titted ladies?
Fuck you're weird.
Hey fags!
>>695672175
Me too. And I'm a big fan of Accelo's art (and his character) as well.
>>695672256
No. Tall, muscular chicks. And in terms of furry art, they're even better with dicks.
>>695672327
What's up?

>>695672078
I wanna ask you, do you ever sit and wonder it's so strange that we can be together for so long and never know never care what goes on in the other one's head?
>>695672113
You keep saying that language isn't arbitrary because it has logic behind it ergo a system. So tell me, what is the logic in having more than one language? What is the logic in calling a tree a tree instead of something like bear? Arbitrariness and Logic are not mutually exclusive.
>>695672419
Who have I slighted in being funny?
hi butt tiger
>>695672610
Sometimes. It is quite interesting to think what the internet has been able to accomplish.
>>695672397
You're 70℅ the way there. Just go full fag and be a slave to meb
>>695672397
Rest day today.
what about you?
>>695672469
ok
>>695672699
Hello demos?
>>695672867
Nope. I'll only be a slave to tall, muscular herm furries, and they don't exist.
>>695672956
Nothing at all.
>>695672956
Don't even play like you don't know why I'm mad.
>>695672956
Snuffles
Okay, so, lets say that you're in Portugal and you don't speak Portuguese, would you be able to determine what someone was saying listening to just the sounds they were making? No, you wouldn't, unless you already knew how to speak that language. Again, the sounds and correlating meaning are entirely arbitrary, at the very basic level the two are randomly put together. Where the system comes in is when you start getting into sentence structure, grammar rules, and etc.
>>695672956
THAT'S SNUGGLES, DAMMIT!
>>695672783
Things are felt, but are never said. You said things that I never said, so I'll say something that I should have said long ago. You don't know me (You don't know me) At all.
>>695673078
Well drat.
>>695673093
>anon is mad at me
why do i care?
>>695673121
Oh hi man, your trip dosen't say snuffles.
How you been?
Snuggles, you never said what you thought of my new paintings.
>>695672610
This wasn't an argument about logic, nor did I mention it. I was only relaying that we organized our languages in a way that we can mutually agree on what certain things mean. Just because languages are different from one another doesn't mean they don't have the same principle behind them.
>>695673254
HIS NAME IS SNUGGLES!
>>695673254
Oh so now I'm just "an anon" huh? Fine, be like that. See if I care.
>>695672610
Not so funny. You played on my words last time. Not this time.
>>695673254
Indeed I'm kind of an enigma around here. I'm well actually thank you, good porn too.
>>695673282
eh, it's not catching me, but I'm not one to be caught right now either.
>>695673326
Please stop
I'm trying to make new friends for once

Hey buff tigerbro

see >>695673313
>>695673313
They don't, they are arbitrary. There is a system, and logic to that system, but at the core of it all lies a huge mess or arbitrary linking. If it weren't if it were a universal principle, like mathematics, then every country would speak it.
>>695673436
>sight meaning small
>slight also meaning insult
I believed I played with your words, not on them.
>>695673467
These are the most important things I have ever done.
>>695673507
That doesn't have anything to do with me, Snuggles. I'm telling him what your name is, and it's Snuggles.
>>695673539
That doesn't at all refute what I have said.
>>695673168
>>695673326
woah clam down there. have 5 cigs or somthing.
>>695673356
Well you are anon right now.
tell me who you are then.
>>695673467
I seen your trip around for sometime, but never got a mane to go with it. But now i have that. :)
>>695673507
Do you post lots of badgers as well?
>>695673512
Hey Spoon, you do your exercises today?
I don't know what is happening anymore.
Love u Mark. Rip
>>695673707
Smoking isn't helping. I need something stronger. I need drugs.
>>695673707
I save whatever I find sexy
and that gets pretty weird a lot of times
>>695673781
There's a heaven and there's a star for you.
>>695673790
Maybe smoking is the problem?
>>695673834
Yeah same as I, it just tends to be tigers :)
>>695673707
Not today, that is tomorrow.
But I do have a little story to tell.
I had to bring some packages inside today, I didn't read the weights as I took them.
The first one felt weightless, and it was only 19 lbs.
The other one felt like it was 15 lbs and I'd have to set it down after about 10 minutes. That one was actually 45 lbs.
I feel so strong~
>>695673974
No, it's not my body that is the problem. It is my mind. It's feverish and excited.
>>695668465
Why do you post pictures of Sparklehorse with lyrics of Van Zandt?
>>695673657
Every country can speak other languages, they choose not to. Also, math is a system, much the same way language is. Just because something isn't universally agreed upon doesn't make it arbitrary. It's still an agreed upon system. Whether it is agreed upon by a small amount or a large amount.
>>695674117
Because I don't have lyrics to Sparklehorse with pictures of Van Zandt.
>>695674184
Just because something is agreed upon doesn't make it any less arbitrary. Consensus isn't synonymous with Logic.
>>695673974
Some of yours I save, others not so much, but I appreciate it either way
>>695673657
How does it not refute that comment?
Do you save my pictures, Snuggles?
>>695674384
Because I'm stating that it is arbitrary at its core and you're saying only that it's a system and systems can't be arbitrary, which is entirely false.
>>695674494
no
I have your one picture that means something to me, and I try to be your muse for other pieces, but I'm not in a place for that right now
Why the shit is NS so hard to find for some reason?
>>695674644
You try to be my muse? This is news to me.
>>695674665
Because you aren't looking?
>>695674077
Take LSD and see what you create.
>>695674363
So what do you do Snuffles?
>>695674792
Oh well.
I found it eventually.
Sup with you, James?
>>695674792
whatever you would call me
I can't do it now, I've got a dying man in my house and I'm too busy trying not to care to get a boner
>>695674494
It may have started out that way, but once it is agreed upon it becomes something else. It's not arbitrary at its core. It may have been upon its inception, but the second it becomes an agreed system it is no longer arbitrary.
>>695674877
I don't have any LSD. And no, I want something that will just numb my mind, heroin seems like a good idea.
>>695674909
Nothing is up with me. I am going mad, carving sculptures of heads and painting my big things. I got a vinegaroon too. It's adorable.
>>695674940
A dying man? Dying how? Who?
>>695675043
Again, consensus doesn't refute arbitrariness.
>>695675209
Vinegaroon?
Shut it down. SHUT IT DOWN!
>>695675283
A whip scorpion.
>>695675209
A friend of David's
It's a little baby still, isn't it just cute as a damn button?
>>695675404
What is he dying of? Is it imminent or prolonged?
>>695675440
Awwww, it's adorable.
I saw a wild one once when I was down south.
It was crazy cool.
I feel that I shouldn't ask these questions, but I cannot help myself.
>>695675550
It is adorable and I love it. It's a voracious little eater though, ate five pinhead crickets in less than a day. They are hella cool and totally harmless to humans.
>>695675504
Prolonged. Lung cancer I'm afraid but he won't go to the doctor about it. He's pretty much just ready to off himself but too scared to do it. It's pretty awful a situation right now.
>>695675645
So many crickets to be sacrificed.
How is Eric?
>>695675209
I think we are thinking about this in two different ways. I think you're looking at it from the point of view of how it started. I'm thinking about how it is today. Language, in my opinion is fundamentally different, yet has the same purpose. That means, in my opinion, that multiple cultures and areas of people developed a system in order to communicate. Yes, originally someone just said that is a tree. Once it became agreed upon it became an organized system.
>>695675667
There is nothing wrong with being afraid of death, though personally I don't get it. Why won't he go to the doctor?
>>695675736
Eric is still my big handsome boy. He just hangs out in his hide all day except when he wants to eat. He ate two full grown crickets, I don't know if the little spiderling got any of its crickets yet, though I can't imagine it hasn't. The millipedes and roaches are still just hanging out in their respective tanks.
I will have to water them all tonight before bed.
>>695675870
I'm looking at it from how it is. So tell me, what is it about consensus that frees language from its arbitrariness?
>>695675870
ya'll need krishnamurti. UG not Jiddu.
>>695676068
because he wants to die
>>695676068
Thank goodness. I really like Eric and was hoping he's well while I was away.
>>695676229
The fact he is too afraid to commit suicide shows me that he doesn't.
>>695676317
Of course he is. You think I'd let anything happen to my babies?
>>695675209
>heroine
Stop talking to this guy he's a multidimensional troll
>>695676228
Damn, there's some esoteric name dropping on this thread. I dig it. Most people have never heard of U.G. and that's the way he would have liked it.
>>695676500
Good point.
>>695676596
stop being sexist
>>695676596
I don't want heroine, I don't need some lady to come and save me. I'm a proud independent Asian man and I don't need no woman telling me what to do.
>>695676622
A friend of mine who teaches kindergarten wants me to bring in one of my babies to show to her class. I'll have to clean their tank to make sure they're nice and presentable on the day. It won't be until November or so.
>>695677014
I thought you hated kids.
>>695668465
who are you?
>>695676068
The fact that it is consensus. It is agreed upon (I'm using that word a lot). Different words came from all over. Different sounds made more sense in different climates and terrain. If you live in a heavily forested area people are less likely to use consonants. That is because its easier to hear and understand vowels in those environments. hard sounds like consonants come from more clear areas because, once again, they are easier to hear and understand. It became a system once people agreed on what was easier to understand for their location and culture.
>>695676228
Neat person, with interesting views.
>>695677086
I do, but I think it's good to educate people on things like spiders and roaches and all those so they stop being afraid of them and stop killing them.
>>695677144
I'm no one.
>>695677149
So what if it's consensus. If we all suddenly conceded that Jews were okay would that suddenly mean it was fine?
>>695677429
That's a good point. Hopefully it goes well.
>>695677573
I do too.
>>695677429
I don't know about the Jew thing, but if it is consensus for a certain area, then it is ok for that area. It doesn't make it right or fine. It just makes it generally agreed upon by the majority.
>>695677704
>doesn't make it right or fine
So it can still remain entirely arbitrary.
>>695677822
I typed that to point out that things may be different around the world and that there are different systems for different areas, but just because it is a different system doesn't mean it's agreed upon by other systems.
>>695678559
Just because a system is agreed upon doesn't make it any less arbitrary.
>>695678654
My entire point is that once something becomes a system or becomes organized and agreed upon by a general populous it is no longer arbitrary.
>>695678849
And my entire point is that it can still remain entirely arbitrary.
>>695675374
that's where he died
I'm sad now
>>695678947
It is, yes. I have been sad.
>>695678921
Only when a new word or meaning of a word is created. Once everyone says "ok, that is that and that's what it means" it's not arbitrary anymore. It has become organized. It has been added to the system. It is no longer arbitrary.
>>695679221
But that's wrong. Just because everyone agrees on something doesn't make it right. Consensus isn't synonymous with correctness.
>>695679307
I already stated something along those lines here>>695678559
What is correct or right is based on the system you live in.
>>695679446
That is still incorrect. A sound has nothing to do with its meaning. You can't figure out what a word is just by hearing it.
>>695679584
I never argued that point. I said that people agreed on certain sounds to mean different things. Just because one group doesn't agree with another on the way something is done doesn't mean that each group didn't agree on something different separate. That means that each thing, although done differently, was accepted by two different groups. Each became part of a different system.
>>695679584
>>695680105
is this a joke? autism? seriously?
>>695668465
Holy shit, image limit reached. This is one hell of a fucking weird thread.
