The flying guy in the picture is St Joseph of Copertino, patron saint of aviation.

According to his hagiography, he wished to be a Franciscan but was rejected several times for lack of intelligence or educational attainment. Eventually, he was admitted anyway and became a priest. He reportedly levitated while saying mass.

The Spanish name for "Copertino" is Cupertino. Some in California established a parish dedicated to this priest in the disocese of San Jose - St Joseph. There are many Catholic churches in the area named after the parton of he diocese. St Josphes of Mountain View, St Josephs of San Jose (I know), St Joseph of Los Altos. And also the parish St Joseph of Cupertino. So when the area got more populous and needed a post office and city governance and all that, well, if they've got a church St Joseph of Cupertino, that must be the town name, right?

Anyway, then 50 years later Apple moved in and now the extremely dull suburb is famous.

Also, the church says it's Thursday office hours are 1-4, but nobody is answering the phone.

@stavvers Other way around: Adjectives describe things that differ from the default. A genetic object tastes bad, has no sound or smell, but looks and feels good.

@stavvers

Kinda touchy, aren't we...

No, I'm not feeling it.

@dashdsrdash @stavvers
I am touched by your contribution to this otherwise unsightly post.

@stavvers

Diogenes on the Internet: "Touching story, bro. I bet you're a real looker."

@stavvers @cstross I think that it also has to do with the likelihood of involuntarily hearing or smelling something unpleasant being far higher than that of tasting it. The default object probably tastes awful, though most people avoid ever putting it in their mouths (probably because of how bad it also smells and/or sounds)

@stavvers

And yet, we do use "unsightly" for a negative adjective, so perhaps "sightly" is just out of fashion.

The image mentions "intangible" again in the negative. We do still say "tangible" for "solid to the touch".

English is always a tricky thing.

@cstross

@stavvers Have they never heard of pigs?
@stavvers but is the most ordinary object a real looker?
@stavvers The restless ghost of a durian.

@stavvers

I'd argue that 'handsome' satisfies the touch case

@stavvers Well there’s “touchy,” which means irritable. And “looky looky” is an exclamation indicating intrigue or attraction.

So the default is also for things to be grumpy but alluring.

@stavvers see, I disagree.

We do say that something is "a sight" meaning it looks impressive, and we do say something is "touchy" meaning they're ill-tempered.

The conclusion is that the default object is impressive to look at, ill-tempered, produces a cacophony, smells bad and tastes delicious, which is to say, it's an apex predator, which all tracks.

@stavvers

We have "sighted," but that would mean the object can see you. And we have "touched," which means the object is...well, not quite right.

So the default object is loud, stinky, delicious, slightly insane, _and it can see you_

@stavvers My brain has gone directly to: this will make an excellent euphemism for cunnilingus

@stavvers does it involve erectile dysfunction too?
@ami_angelwings omg someone who is not me watched Estab-life!
@waitworry i tweeted a live watch of Estab-Life a while ago

@ami_angelwings oh I think I wasn't really active here for that

anyway it's such an underappreciated show

@ami_angelwings i posted about it a lot on the OTHER site but no one was that interested there
@waitworry other sites are bad, actually
@ami_angelwings I really hope the movie and the other tie in stuff sees the light of day but I'm not getting my hopes up since as I said it seems like hardly anyone watched it at all
@waitworry i think the show is gonna be a one-off that was just that particular production team going above and beyond the call of duty

Attached: 4 images Kizuna no Allele would be the 2nd anime I've seen in the last year meant to sell a product that actually tried to do more than that, featured a trans character and snuck the trans flag into their coming out episode, Estab-Life did it too (and had the trans girl return to save them in the penultimate episode which also had a lesbian confession)

URUSAI! Social
@stavvers I don't think anybody can understand it without experiencing it. I never met anyone who could.
Staring at the dishes at the table and being unable to just get them into the dishwasher. It is horrible and humiliating. Blaming yourself for hours because you don't understand it yourself.
It destroys you. Nothing to laugh about.

@stavvers I've been imagining it as a Tom Clancy thriller except the cool secret agent protagonist has ADHD.

THIS SUMMER: Chris Pine in EXECUTIVE FUNCTION

@stavvers That's what it feels like, yeah.
