me: "Does it bother you at all that after 11am comes 12pm and after 11pm comes 12am? I have always thought this was retarded." that is a question on the funbag
me: i can't decide if i absolutely disagree with the person asking the question, or if i just disagree with them
Jason Quist: its weird, yes
Jason Quist: but its so ingrained in me that i dont find it that odd anymore
me: well, in my mind how i have always understood it, 12:01 PM is after noon, or post meridian, so why would you call it ante meridian? i realize that my fealty to latin makes me a crazy person that believes words should have meaning and we should stick to them, but come on, we can't go around just flaggarantly breaking all the rules
Jason Quist: well saying anything is before or after something on a circle is just patently ridiculous
me: not when we all agree to believe there are breaks, we have a finite cycle
me: whether or not that takes place inside a longer cycle is moot at that point
Jason Quist: i mean, yes and we did that we just chose weird breaks
me: but we did choose, all that english and language in general is a man made supposition onto an inherently indescribable world
me: the word apple and an apple are completely different things, apples are all different and in a constant state of decay, they are not all the same and even one thing is not the same as it ever was in the past
me: and i realize that i just got super aesthetic philosophy on an idea that one person on the internet disagrees with even though everyone else already does it the way that i think they should
me: but i am trying to exercise control over a world that i can feel myself losing grasp on as i flounder in a sea of uncertainty regarding my own personal situation
me: and i attempt to cling to and reinforce ideals that i need to be in place because while i do not know which tentpoles are still holding this world up i feel as if i must protect them all
me: and if that wasn't the greatest tenuously constructed diatribe in this history of gchat, i will quit right now
Jason Quist: it was. quite good
