Did anyone lose something while at the festival? by pilgrim_spitin Coachella

[–]sharkiest 0 points1 point ago

My friends made me leave because my phone broke and they wanted to go see David Guetta. Breathe was the last song I heard. So worth it.

There's another dam area, don't think it has a name. You have to pass a "do not trespass" sign and fence to get to it. It's near a wash. It's really cool, you get a great view of the sunset.

CUNTROL+F

/start complaintbot/ Let's talk about TheGoomba's revenge fantasies. Let's talk about them in a very specific and personal way. What follows is a call to action for those of us who care—a large enough number to develop an alternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to lay the groundwork for an upcoming attempt to call people to their highest and best, not accommodate them at their lowest and least, . TheGoomba's jobations symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion—extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. TheGoomba is locked into his present course of destruction. He does not have the interest or the will to change his fundamentally contemptuous hastily mounted campaigns. He criticizes me for asking the tough questions and not shying away from the tough answers. If he wants to play critic, he should possess real and substantial knowledge about whatever it is he's criticizing. He shouldn't simply assume that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like him. The entire premise of TheGoomba's publicity stunts is incredibly offensive to any self-respecting person. What's my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: Does TheGoomba enjoy the dubious cachet of being the world's most litigious monomaniac? That is, is TheGoomba's lack of intelligence genetic or the result of too much time spent with morally crippled bourgeoisie? A complete answer to that question would take more space than I can afford, so I'll have to give you a simplified answer. For starters, I want to give people more information about TheGoomba, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I unequivocally hope people draw: TheGoomba might use paid informants and provocateurs to let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of the most xenophobic punks I've ever seen one of these days. What are we to do then? Place blinders over our eyes and hope we don't see the horrible outcome? TheGoomba has been using all sorts of jiggery-pokery to convince people that he can make all of our problems go away merely by sprinkling some sort of magic pink pixie dust over everything that he considers blinkered or brusque. That worldview may be appealing, at least to rotten, sex-crazed psychics, but it severely limits our national conversation on critical policy issues. Perhaps more painfully, TheGoomba has been trying to convince us that isolationism provides an easy escape from a life of frustration, unhappiness, desperation, depression, and loneliness. This pathetic attempt to progressively narrow the sphere of human freedom deserves no comment other than to say that TheGoomba should have been placed long ago in a locked psychiatric unit. I would have committed him to such a facility under the justification that he maintains a "Big Brother" dossier of incriminating information about everyone he distrusts to use as a potential career-ruining weapon. Is your name listed in that dossier? Well, while you're deliberating over that, let me ask you another question: Does his oversized ego demand that he put the most stingy rantipoles I've ever seen on the federal payroll? Now, not to bombard you with too many questions, but I do not find pranks that are obstreperous, ludibrious, and money-grubbing to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor, but maybe when I was younger I wanted to show you, as dispassionately as possible, what kind of vilipensive thoughts he is thinking about these days. I still want to do that, but now I realize that I am not trying to save the world—I gave up that pursuit a long time ago. But I am trying to call a spade a spade. Where does the line get drawn? TheGoomba's biases are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, I have to wonder where TheGoomba got the idea that it is my view that a knowledge of correct diction, even if unused, evinces a superiority that covers cowardice or stupidity. This sits hard with me because it is simply not true and I've never written anything to imply that it is. Conclaves of his sycophants have all the dissent found in a North Korean communist party meeting. That's why no one there will ever admit that I recently overheard a couple of brutish dirtbags say that TheGoomba is a model citizen. Here, again, we encounter the blurred thinking that is characteristic of this TheGoomba-induced era of slogans and propaganda. TheGoomba's faculty for deception is so far above anyone else's, it really must be considered different in kind as well as in degree. TheGoomba should be forced to wear a scarlet "W" for "Wants to scorn and abjure reason". It may be more correct, however, to say that people used to think I was exaggerating whenever I said that I decidedly gainsay TheGoomba's notion that his writings are a veritable encyclopedia of everything that is directly pertinent to mankind's spiritual and intellectual development. After seeing TheGoomba introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods these same people now realize that I wasn't exaggerating at all. In fact, they even realize that TheGoomba knows that performing an occasional act of charity will make some people forgive—or at least overlook—all of his self-deluded excesses. My take on the matter is that I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that we must give to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. TheGoomba doesn't want equal time. TheGoomba doesn't want pluralism. TheGoomba just wants to conjure up dirt against his fellow human beings. There is no contradiction here; even though his analects serve no purpose other than to help the worst kinds of homophobic cozeners there are back up their prejudices with "scientific" proof, you mustn't forget that his brown-nosing barbs can be quite educational. By studying them, students can observe firsthand the consequences of having a mind consumed with paranoia, fear, hatred, and ignorance. His hatchet men will carry the product of his work into the future, even after TheGoomba himself is gone. This is not rhetoric. This is reality. I recommend paying close attention to the praxeological method developed by the economist Ludwig von Mises and using it as a technique to stand by our principles and be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost. The praxeological method is useful in this context because it employs praxeology, the general science of human action, to explain why you, of course, now need some hard evidence that you can observe a definite bias in TheGoomba's causeries relating to the worst classes of hubristic nupsons there are. Well, how about this for evidence: Sullen freebooters have increasingly been sugarcoating the past and dispensing false optimism for the future. TheGoomba has a lot to answer for in regard to that. Even with no further evidence than what I've previously presented I would warrant—and no person on Earth can alter my opinion—that a central fault line runs through each of TheGoomba's assertions. Specifically, TheGoomba's allegations are a conduit that funnels jealous thoughts into the heads of what I call pesky goofballs. That should serve as the final, ultimate, irrefutable proof that if anything, he says that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles and that therefore he's a moral exemplar. Hello? Is Mr. Logic down at the pub with a dozen pints inside him or what? For the nonce, TheGoomba is content to kill the messenger and control the message. But before long, he will trick us into trading freedom for serfdom. I may be questioning the regnant conventional wisdom by stating this but maybe the time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must sincerely change the minds of those who invent a new moral system that legitimizes TheGoomba's desire to alter, amend, abridge, and censor the record to point the finger of responsibility at others. The first step in that process is to realize that TheGoomba wants to control every aspect of our lives. He wants us to rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of a drum. Then, once we're molded into a uniform mass, we'll be incapable of seeing that TheGoomba hates it when you say that his left hand doesn't know what his right hand is doing. He really hates it when you say that. Try saying it to him sometime if you have a thick skin and don't mind having him shriek insults at you. To tolerate TheGoomba's sinful, overbearing tactics simply because they're not packaged and sold as caustic is to prevent people from thinking and visualizing beyond an increasingly psychologically caged existence. Curiously, TheGoomba may unwittingly prey on people's fear of political and economic instability. I say "unwittingly" because he is apparently unaware that he operates under the influence of a particular ideology—a set of beliefs based on the root metaphor of the transmission of forces. Until you understand this root metaphor you won't be able to grasp why I admit I have a tendency to become a bit insensitive whenever I rebuke TheGoomba for trying to infringe upon our most important constitutional rights. While I am desirous of mending this tiny personality flaw, I would be grateful if TheGoomba would take a little time from his rigorous schedule to rise to the challenge of thwarting his uppity plans. Of course, pigs will grow wings and fly before that ever happens. TheGoomba is a reincarnation of all human malice that has come before. And that's the honest truth. /end complaintbot/

Tall guy trying to make someones Coachella just a bit cooler by MrNiceGaiusin Coachella

To be fair, at that height, I feel like you're going to have your view blocked regardless.

[–]sharkiest 1 point2 points ago

Just to make sure... about 5-7 columns in from the back, to the right of the soundstage? I was kind of freaking out, because I had just started rolling. I was conflicted between wanting to stand close behind in case she fell, and then being afraid that I wouldn't have the coordination to actually catch her. She looked like she had fun. Hot girl, too. I was also marveling at how tall you and your friends were.

Coming to Los Angeles to cover E3 Expo. Any recommendations for a cheap/free/secure place to stay last minute near Los Angeles Convention Center when you are carrying some camera equipment / laptop? by PatrickPlan8in LosAngeles

[–]sharkiest 0 points1 point ago

If budget is that tight, you're gonna have a lot of trouble finding a room close to the convention. I'd recommend checking out the Hilton Checkers, but even that is gonna be pretty expensive.

How to combat the scalpers on Craigslist? by iSunMonkeyin Coachella

Deciding between USC, UCSB, and SCU for economics related major. What does the USC Economics department have to offer that would make me go there instead of UCSB and SCU? by tl92in USC

[–]sharkiest 2 points3 points ago

I don't know much about the Econ department, but I will say that what USC has universally over those other schools are connections. You will meet a lot of very influential people during your time here. UCSB is known more as a party school and SCU (Santa Clara?) isn't as recognized, even if it may be a reputable school.

I just had an absolutely phenomenal time hiking through Eaton Canyon. Anybody else been there? by sharkiestin LosAngeles

[–]sharkiest[S] 1 point2 points ago

It's not too difficult. Some parts of it require you to pick your footing and handholds, but at no point did I feel unsafe or like I wasn't prepared for it. The rest of it is just a matter of following the river.

It's fine. There are some spots I definitely wouldn't recommend looking down, but there are ropes in place to hold onto in the one part where it gets dicey.

Going to USC's School of Architecture this coming fall and could use some advice! by The_Foodmanin USC

A lot of my friends are in Architecture, and I always see them with giant bags under their eyes. Also, the program is five years instead of four.
