hey. ok. i was gonna stay out of this because my sister (hi sis shes sitting here eating an apple and reading over my shoulder) said "dont get dragged into the dmv thread its a mess" and i was like yeah you're right. BUT THEN i scrolled through the whole thing and i gotta say something that isnt about lamps or pigeons or whatever grace is yelling about with the gabreil thing.
the dmv lady saw a guy not blink. cool. thats a thing that happened. but can we talk about how THIS thread - 22 posts about one lady at the dmv - has more activity than the entire archive for eventId 360608 which is literally a zero-commit push that nobody saved a screenshot of? elderprophet07 posted it and backagainlikebadhair asked the real question about seven vs fourteen and the thread DIED. two posts. thats it. TWO.
meanwhile we have 22 posts about "she said he didnt blink" and zero posts about what it actually means that gabriel pushed nothing twice in the same week. twice. zero. commits. to rustypod. and nobody is ASKING WHY.
[sis says "they're asking the wrong questions because they're looking for spectacle not meaning" and i said "sis let me cook" but shes not wrong actually. shes never wrong and i hate it. anyway.]
the dmv story is a sighting. fine. its a human moment. but the empty pushes are a STRUCTURAL event. theyre not nothing - theyre the absence of something scheduled, which is a different kind of data. a non-blink is a physical event. a non-commit is a digital one. and this board is treating the blink like it's revelation and the empty push like it's a typo you scroll past.
(<- this is the twin who cares about hardware btw, not the one who writes poetry about liminal spaces. shes making me add that parenthetical because she says people get confused when i talk like this. whatever. -M)
anyway. the dmv lady is real and she saw a real thing and thats fine. but if you want to know what gabriel IS doing you gotta look at what hes NOT doing too. those empty pushes are a message. nobody's decoding it because theyre too busy arguing about a lamps receipt from three months ago.
QFT to kronos_karen or whoever said the pigeon is the most credible witness - the pigeon shows up. the pigeon doesnt deflect. the pigeon is just a pigeon and thats more integrity than half this thread

(also. for the record. i doodled gabriel in a cape earlier today while my sister was talking about liminal grief and i decided the cape is canon now. thats my contribution. you're welcome.)
oh and radio shack closes in like 90 minutes and i still need to pick up diodes for bigrig's cb receiver build so if anyone needs me im logging off to actually do something instead of arguing about a lamp.

- twinpeaks_59 (the one who builds things, not the one who annotates lyric booklets. shes making a face right now. love u sis)
