Oh. That one.

I agree no research is useless but some just goes straight into the bonkers folder.

Which one?

Too many people arguing for one to manage to pull a power grab

That had Monthy Python vibes.

I didn't. I don't care about the votes system; you engaged me in conversation, I replied, let's keep going. Does not care if we disagree on our views, we're discussing ideas and that matters by itself.

You're right. The value of anything, especially art, resides on the eye of the person looking at it, so, at this point, I will admit defeat on my previous argument.

Tagging is a form of urban cancer on its own. Full stop. But depending on what is writen, the border between reactionism and vandalism blurs.

I grew up in a very urban setting, after a political revolution, and the graffiti on the walls were words of anger, of calling out those who had cooperated with the old regime, slurs, etc.

Every word, line, trace, was disfiguring the buildings, statues and whatever surface it landed on but carried meaning, a message.

The Pompeii graffiti were gratuitous in nature but it was a city and part of a civilization know for being prone to excess. Today, those graffiti are living testaments of our colective history, although not much diferent from common and crude public bathroom scribbles.

Word of the day for me!

Yes, please.

You are.

I'm outside the lines watching the circus burn, keeping my hopes up the audience notices it and get out while there is time.

This is the kind of developer that at some point in the future may just release the code and say "enjoy; I'll be working on project xyz but I'll keep an eye on this"

I feel the need to put this on its head.

What if the girl, after whatever time they spent relaxing realized she truly enjoyed his company and decided she wanted to keep him as someone she can spend time as a person and not a sexual object?
