<alkino> ggVGd: do you know you can short your name?
<alkino> ggdG
<ggVGd> yes
<ggVGd> but I have had this discussion before
<ggVGd> there is a philosophical difference
<ggVGd> it is about feedback of destruction
<alkino> uh?
<alkino> can't see difference
<ggVGd> it's a metaphor
<romainl> alkino: With visual mode you have a chance to get a last glimpse at
          what you are about to destroy
<romainl> alkino: you see a before and after at the same time
<ggVGd> romainl: that's not the most important point
<romainl> I'm all ears
<ggVGd> the important point is that the subject becomes aware of its imminent
        destruction
[…]
<romainl> alkino: the content of the page is put in a stressfull state when
	  you select it: at that point, it doesn't know what will happen next.
	  deletion? formatting? yanking? its existance is on the edge
<romainl> only you know what to do
<romainl> but at least it is made aware, of you, of itself, of its future, of
          potentiality!
[…]
<ggVGd> haha, yes, romainl gets it :)

2014-04-12 09:21:51 <vimgor> Rumor has it ggVGd is a philosophical statement,
                             see tinyurl.com/NickAnswer, ggVGd
2014-04-12 09:21:54 <ggVGd> zhmylove: ^
2014-04-12 09:23:03 <bairui> heh, you're even getting /msg about it now, eh?
                             regretting your nick choice yet, gg?
2014-04-12 09:23:30 <ggVGd> bairui: I will fight until the end of irc
2014-04-12 09:23:52 <bairui> only fair, and befitting your philosophy, if i
                             understand it correctly
2014-04-12 09:26:25 <ggVGd> oh, damnit
2014-04-12 09:27:30 <ggVGd> I just had an epiphany
2014-04-12 09:27:37 <ggVGd> namely..
2014-04-12 09:27:42 -!- ggVGd is now known as ggVGc
2014-04-12 09:30:52 <bairui> you're not worried about the ggcG sayers?
2014-04-12 09:31:01 <ggVGc> we shall see
2014-04-12 09:31:08 <bairui> fair
2014-04-12 09:31:54 <ggVGc> I just realised. What is the point of destruction
                            with prior notification without a new start
2014-04-12 09:31:54 <bairui> fwiw, in my weechat colors, you're now Worn Green
                             instead of your Dirt Brown of old
2014-04-12 09:32:01 <ggVGc> oh yeah
2014-04-12 09:32:05 <ggVGc> sweet
2014-04-12 09:32:22 <ggVGc> the nick is actually greener on the other side
2014-04-12 09:32:36 <ggVGc> makes sense
2014-04-12 09:32:43 <ggVGc> brown destruction, green resurrection
2014-04-12 09:37:07 <bairui> more of a shiva stance then, than kali?
2014-04-12 09:40:53 <ggVGc> yeah, I guess
2014-04-12 09:41:04 <ggVGc> bairui: I feel the c is a lot more mature than d
2014-04-12 09:41:23 <ggVGc> destroying everything for the sake of it is very
                            juvenile
2014-04-12 09:43:20 <bairui> d is final; absolute; an action unto itself and
			     therefore without hesitation or consideration. c
			     is destruction, too, but open to new beginnings;
			     it offers hope where d shows none.
2014-04-12 09:44:49 <ggVGc> bairui: I think destruction is a juvenile act,
			    because noting is final. It just means you are not
			    taking any responsibility for what happens after
			    the destruction. If your main goal is change, and
			    a prerequisite for that is complete destruction,
			    that is very  different
2014-04-12 09:47:46 <bairui> the reckless hood that raises structures and
			     maniacally laughs at the empty gesture only to
			     march on towards the next soulless construct is
			     psychologically underdeveloped in comparison to
			     the youth who sees better potential in something
			     and knows that it must first be demolished in
			     order to birth its better form.
2014-04-12 09:49:05 <ggVGc> yeah, pretty much :)
2014-04-12 09:49:22 <bairui> :)
2014-04-12 09:49:34 <bairui> welcome to your adolescent years then ;)
2014-04-12 09:51:52 <ggVGc> thank you, I will do my best
2014-04-12 09:52:21 <ggVGc> it's funny everyone proposed removing the V, but
                            never suggesting the c
2014-04-12 09:52:27 <ggVGc> too much vim golf
2014-04-12 09:52:31 <ggVGc> not enough life
2014-04-12 09:53:24 <bairui> the V now is the final glimpse at what was there;
                             the verge between was and will be
