Howdy.

There was a slight defect in your evocation,...seconds?

Yeah, we frakked up. Ha! http://videosift.com/talk/How-does-one-fix-an-accidental-dupeof-to-the-wrong-video to see if there is a way for us to fix it or if the administrators have to fix it.

Ant, Please, I wish to explain about the dupeof fail.

I found the mis-evocation and sought to address it directly with Geo. I failed to referenced the video title and the profile reply function did not/does not evidently do so either. Geo, very concerned, profile replied to me asking for clarification as he was not wanting to screw anyone whatsoever. By the time I received the message, someone, uncharacteristically, efficiently acted upon the dupe with the faulty evocation. Geo discovered his error and was persecuting himself for it before the dupe processed. I am certain he feels even worse now.

I compounded his error with incomplete and confusing information and no doubt delayed any cogent preemption thereby.

I am sorry.

I lack the acumen to remedy.

Absolutely,...another unfortunate demonstration that the world is insanely malformed.

What little truth contained is grotesquely distorted and morphed into atrocities guised as reasoned conclusions supported by jingoistic evocations.

Insane, in that both sides of this and all such disagreements exhibit this fallacious bent, the extant jingoism notwithstanding.

lemme go ahead and call this mans argument what it actually is: sophistry.

So every time this guy carves a watermelon, they are exact replications?
You make it sound like artists making fine art do not exactly reproduce the same piece of art, but ignore that they are still using the skills that they have done "hundreds of times and has become really skilled at it."
So if this guy carves a different flower in a veggie? That wouldn't be exactly the same, but using the same skills. Would that address the point in your response?
EDIT: I reread my comment. It really comes off dickish... To be honest, I'm tired and am going to go to bed instead of trying to figure out how to make my point while being less of a dick. Please understand that was not the intended tone.

It's alright. And I didn't mean to imply that they're exactly the same every time. If they were exactly the same every time, they wouldn't be improving. Compare a carpenter to a sculptor. The carpenter works off a pattern, usually one that's been refined very slowly over hundreds of repetitions, with a very specific result in mind. The skill with which he does his work can create an object of great beauty. But he doesn't have the same goal as a sculptor who is trying specifically to create something unique and evocative for the first time, often not knowing how it will turn out. I'm not even saying that fine art is "better" than fine craftsmanship, only that there is a distinction.

You're also right that artists have skills that they have practiced the hell out of, maybe brushwork, perspective, shading. In that way they have a lot in common with craftsmen. Again, the difference is in the goal.

Movie was great, I need to check out the book. It's a crime that it took 2 months more to come out in Australia than it did in the US, I caved and ended up grabbing a copy of the screener.

Probably the best dystopia film since Children of Men. Not quite as good as that though because it was much more limited in scope, but still very involving and bleakly evocative and great for what it tries to be.

Oh and also the soundtrack is excellent, it's memorable enough than you can pretty much pinpoint every song to the scene.

I tend to subscribe more to the Hobbesian mindset. I mean it goes without saying that countries with a functioning government, civil institutions and municipalities are far more peaceful and stable that those that are lacking. If a disaster were to come along that wiped out all plant life, and presumably a good chunk of the population, then that would throw this a spanner in the works and all into disarray. Without a unifying element, with crippled communications, we would likely divulge back into small tribes for survival.

Without plant life, the majority of livestock would only last so long, especially in suburbia. I think it's only inevitable that some would turn to cannibalism and would begin to dominate others. After all, social norms have changed drastically over human civilization. I think it's only inevitable that if people were to become desperate enough for food their carnal desires would regress their norms and human nature.

The album itself is very evocative of imagery like that. This song comes in the second half, but the entire album very much inspires the kind of images you would expect from the title. Contrasting the bright atmospherics, the lyrical material is your typical breakup album, which fascinates me. It's always hard to know just where you are emotionally as you listen.

Some very evocative things he's done here. The chimps in the houses of parliament, imo, says a million things that i couldn't hope to produce so eloquently from my mouth.

Embarrassed I even replied to this post.

Mink, You're obviously unhappy here so why don't you just go back to the site you said you were leaving to go to last time?

"We" don't turn off servers and "we" don't run out of money because "we" don't own this site.
I thought you and someone else were creating a better website. How's that going?

You're not trying to just be evocative .. you're downright hateful and enjoy rubbing salt in the wounds and I'm sick of it. Offer something helpful or shut the fuck up.

2008 will be hailed as a great year in western world history; the year nut stank, funk, and dick dough were abolished forever by Alexyss and octagon(?) soap. 2008 indeed. Evocative of glorious years past. Years replete with liberating thought and progress: Luther's Reformation (1517), Hobbes Leviathan (1651), the French Revolution (1789), Darwin's Origin of Species (1859), and the collapse of communism (1989), to name a few.

I have played many games, and I have died many times in those games, but this is the first time ever I thought, "wow holy crap, I died..." it was a real touching evocative moment where I really connected with the Assault rifle and target reticule that we call a character.

Poor NEST team didn't stand a chance.

Funny how songs are so evocative.. this reminds me of listening to the cool Boston station WXPN staying in my grandfather's basement..

complete with evocative disrobing, cooperative lotioning between young females and 70s porn music...

wow. really evocative.

"One may notice a vibe rather than a linear evocation, and the nature of the last group of posts related to the subject of a possibility that folks don't, and may never, know what happened on that day, should show the message of meaning, that is to keep this subject alive, until it either drifts out of the collective consciousness entirely, or folks decide to call thing unknown and demand further information, and investigation. We call this, an open investigation, with an orgy of evidence to the contrary of an official explanation.......I say the Nation got fucked that day, by a group of diseased minds, with no respect for life, but for mammon, and the patsy, that position was assumed by hundreds of thousands of people...all over the world. Osama, yer mama, never told you about these people......

Not everything moves in a straight line- "

And you continue to put forth writing in a style, and of content, that is a horendous waste of anyone's time to read.

Why can't you simply state 'It would seem that perhaps something odd happened to flight 93 due to the lack of wreckage visible afterwards' or similar... but nooo, you have to warble on about linear and non-linear thought patterns etc.. geeze.
