Comrade [livejournal.com profile] peristaltor responded to the theme of toyvarisch [livejournal.com profile] a_new_machine in a manner, that bears all signs of scientific approach:
i) it has many letters
ii) it is absolutely true and
iii) it's absolutely useless. (Well, not quite so)

Well, I didn't get my PhD, I'm just a raw product of my middle-of-low-class block...
Not to disagree completely with what he says at http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1574340.html in para 3.,and just to build upon what he says in para. 2 -

The said comrade, digging deeper, so to say, into the shit creek subject, described the process right. Pity he didn't address to the cycle procedure. He just missed the feature I would call 'safety pressure gauge'.

Let me explain what happened with subprimes, derivatives, 'value creation' and all that jazz the following way:

You're trying to pull a brick behind you with a rubber cord. You make one step ahead, and it's OK. You make another, and the cord pulls tighter. You make the third one - and, as nothing happens, you're writing down a book on pulling cords and launch a training course for dummies. You make another step, promoting and proclaiming yourself again, then yet another one - and the cord decides 'enough is enough' and you get the brick at the back of your head.

That's because one important detail was missing in the self-repeating process of 'banks creating money'...

Speaking the programming language, you closed the no-exit recursive loop.

Just about that.

Now, may I have the Noebel prize both in economy and literature?
Please.

Probably not, but you could've won the Wooden Metaphor Prize if you had put just a little more effort. ;)

This community generally only allows nonsense posts on Fridays.

That means a number of peeps would only be heard from on one day of the week. :))

And since Tuesday seems to be Mental Health day here anyway, I guess this post qualifies.

Mental health and/or Caesar day.

Is there a Caesar's Mental Health tag yet?

That would've been an oxymoronic tautology.

Just an unwritten rule actually. I assume that it's meant to prevent the place from devolving into an "All-time nonsense dump" sort of place. Would you have loved a place where everyone just talked nonsense?

Good at least that for each nonsensical post, there are two that make some sense, and one that's near awesome.

Man, that icon. I read a story where that girl found out about it. Pretty terrible.

I'm sure someone will find a way to boil this down to ableism or something.

Would you ever be able to write something that's worth a serious discussion? Try it some time, I dare you.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
