I just started project "Hold Gilda". I think I spent more time applying peroxide afterward than I did holding her.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I would like to share something with you all.
When there is an external disturbance, the subject succeeds in compensating for this by an activity. The maximum equilibriation is thus the maximum of the activity, and not a state of rest. It is a mobile equilibriation, and not an immobile one. So equilibriation is defined as compensation; compensation is the anulling of a transformation by an inverse transformation. The compensation which intervenes in equilibriation implies the fundamental idea of reversibility, and this reversibility is precisely what characterizes the operations of the intelligence. An operation is an internalized action, but it is also a reversible action. But an operation is never isolated; it is always subordinated to other operations; it is part of a more inclusive structure. Consequently, we define intelligence in terms of operations, coordination of operations.
Can anyone figure out what the hell is being talked about there? At least before the last sentence? The fuck?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Sure. Translation: "I will never have a paying job."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I couldn't tell you what it means even after the last sentence. But by the sounds of things, the author thinks weebls are geniuses.

Well, weebls are reversible, so there might be an argument.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My name is Operations, Coordination of Operations...

It helps if you imagine it in Charlie Brown's teacher's voice.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
wrong thread, but it made as much sense as any other translation of that paragraph.

C'mon! I want to get into a smack-down-drag-out over whether weebls are reversible or not.
I'll be in the County lock-up, hanging my weary head, and the other perps will be all "What are you in for?" and I'll be be all "WEEBLS!"
You got a problem with that!?"

Make it Cook County lock-up. You can leave whenever you want.

Weebles equilibrate, but they don't fall down.
Also, is there such a word as "equilibriation," or do they just keep spelling "equilibration" wrong?
