Express your mood with a landscape

What everyone else said. Also I like to use imgur for images. It can be used to edit, and typically works with most sites. It also removes metadata, so unless you say post the same pic elsewhere under the same link...it won't likely be traced. Ezgif.com is a good one for gifs (imgur sometimes makes gifs a bit too pixely if you resize on imgur.) I can't post this pic due to illegibility if I make the pixel count smaller, so I'll link it.

Clearly. Yes.


Saved it all to be applied if and after I survive the exams.
(I remember disagreeing with your rougher approach on trolling while ago. Guess the joke's on me)

Just bear in mind that all of this exists within a system of logical rules, it might be complicated but there is no magic going on here.

You mean to say hackers don't rely on their intuition and divergent thinking? Your habit of demystifying everything is threatening to colour-blind us all, Quoth.
Just kidding.

ps. lighter shades in your mood board, am glad

Just realized what this is referring to. I never broke into my ex's (facebook) account in the full sense of the word, I merely had an access that I on one occasion exploited to prove my suspicions (insultingly poor attempts of triangulation). I was right to be suspicious, I'd lie to say I regret it.

And one random for the theme little fishies.

It’s curious that you guys always seem to perceive me as this hardline realist. Most of the RL descriptions of me, including my performance reviews, typically have a semi-religious quality. When i told my girlfriend that I was spending this time on a psychology site, she said ‘I can see how that’d appeal to your philosophical bent’. Yet here....anyway

What I’m saying is that when someone is trying to sell you magic beans, it pays to remember that jack and the beanstalk is just a fairy tale. This kind of manipulation relies on appealing to your idealised conception of something (often related to how it’s represented in the zeitgeist) over your own knowledge of that thing usually assisted by your own desire or anxiety that the idealised form is true.

As to whether ‘hackers’ make great use of intuition, I would not like to say. I certainly have in my time in both the physical and life sciences, however I always fall hard to the theoretical side of the theorist/experimentalist divide. I suspect that the pot boilers would have less use for intuitive leaps but in either case no amount of intuition is going to be worth a damn if it isn’t coupled to a deep and highly nuanced understanding of the system under investigation.

There is plenty of room for the profound in my world view. In fact I would probably argue that the profound cannot exist without realism, just as love without honesty is just infatuation based on idealisation.

Connecting intuition to hacking was meant as a joke at my own expense. I'm pretty sure hackers have got it covered without usage of intuition. I really just wanted to say your "this exists within a system of logical rules, it might be complicated but there is no magic going on here" statement had almost cat-like calming effect due to my mental state yesterday, but seem to have written something almost contradictory to my actual thought. Given the situation I found myself in due to delusions I was buying into for too long, the joke this time was masochistically on me and my rose-coloured glasses. I seem to suck at communication.

I don't see you as 'hardline realist'. Not even close.

On-topic:

I just want to jump in there.
