Ontop of this, what would the ideologies be? What are your ideas for them? It is a world in which websites are countries, so i am sure some omega autist can help a small autist out

So uh, i guess i would need some ideas for leaders for rdrama, and some alternative roads for the focus tree.

The plan right now is to also make around 30/40 "significant nations" with national ideas and so on, then fill it up with small irrelevant countries and so on.. Then make a custom map and put everything together and boom cool alpha of mod.

She's still trying to recover from a bad breakup so I'm trying to be patient with her. She definitely has autism but clearly it's not the cool high-speed/low-drag type like I have.

This is just awful. We live in a 5 story bldg in Manhattan being swallowed by high rises and are currently in an impossible battle to stop the “tallest hospital in the world” from being built outside our windows.

Close and lock the door. Then move and change your name.

My thoughts

auger

My plumber got so pissed off he kept having to come back and unclog my potty that he bought me an auger. LOL, and he was charging $100+ for each visit hahahah.

Bro at that point I would just burn the house down honestly.

Like even if you get the potty unclogged you gonna have to bleach the whole bathroom and the potty seat gonna have be tossed unless you really about that life ahahaha

!poopers

I can answer in a single sentence, based on observing my coworkers talking about it.

"Everything is more expensive since Biden became President."

That's it. That's why everyone's gonna frick this up.

You should be grateful your groceries cost double, chuds!

People are still stupid

With democracy itself on the line, the 2024 election will almost certainly be the nation's most consequential since 1860.

The most important election in history!

Vote Blue

... no matter who!

Rest of the world is watching america like it's the wierd uncle at the family barbecue about to dip his peepee in hot sauce - again - despite being hospitalised for doing exactly the same thing before

I thought the rest of the world was too busy importing migrants and wondering why their own populations continue to chud out.

Because illiterate rednecks feel stupid around anyone with half an education and want to be in power. They however are just tools for a wannabe dictator.

Dear subhuman filth

Because he's not in jail for treason yet.

Any day now!

Racism. Christian Nationalism. Uneducated. Wealthy people

He said the buzzwords!

Because having a black man as president 15 years ago broke something in millions of people. A lot of things simmered for a long time, but that was it.

This is why those same people have adopted a 100% or nothing approach to politics and their view of a conservative way of life: any shift, be it minor, is blown to epic proportion and fought against vehemently.

Teaching acceptance of others? It's indoctrination.

Just let the child cut off his peepee, chud.

A modicum of regulations for guns in the form of a background check or waiting period? Coming to take all guns .

lol We already do background checks.

immigration reform? Open borders

That's what we have now.

police reform? Defund the police.

This is literally what Progressives said and if you asked for clarification they were happy to confirm that's exactly what they meant.

marijuana and drug reform? Drug dealers and junkies will be on your porch.

He needs to read @911roofer posts.

fair taxes/tax reform? The U.S. hates job creators.

Define fair.

You get the point.

Any attempt at creating equity is seen as tipping the scales against them, and from that aspect, they are correct to an extent. The scales have been so lopsided for so long that it probably does feel that way.

Equity!

TLDR: When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression.

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in an academic journal. I'd much rather scientists spend their time making eli5 videos.

-

Just curious, why do you write like that? Reminds when I was 11 and wanted to sound smarter on the internet.

-

My reply is an attempt to address the original comment with precision. To diagram its intended meaning:

alternative theories of consciousness

"Any body of academic thought" [I accede the scientific legitimacy of the domain of discourse, rather than dismissing it.]

know where to go to find well-argued positions on the topic.

"whose paradigmatic communication medium" [This is the beginning of my challenge to the Original Commenter, by granting the information provided authoritative status, which they perhaps cannot fully defend.]

On YouTube you can find plenty of discussions

"is video rather than text"

it's particularly important to explore these discussions as dispassionately as possible if you regard materialism as the only theory of mind that has any scientific credibility or validity.

"is prima facie suspect" [The Original Commenter has asserted that discourse and engagement are important, yet provided only time consuming, low signal-to-noise sources of information.]

As Christopher Hitchens reminds us in his legendary oration on John Stuart Mill and free speech [2]

"Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?" [The only written citations are 1) generic and 2) ancillary to the core topic. I invite the Original Commenter to further his argument more substantively, without demanding exhaustive citations.]

-

OK, let me rewrite it:

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

Academic content is usually in text, not video. Do you have links to written work from them?

Shorter and the exact same meaning. Also doesn't sound like you've been perusing your thesaurus all day.

-

No, the second approach's meaning is more obtuse. What does "usually" mean? Are there acceptable alternatives? If content is in an alternative mode of communication, is it acceptable?

These vagaries permitted in your revision are clear and inherent in the original commenter's motion. Therefore, I submit your adjudication of "shorter and the exact same meaning" is woefully superficial in it's drive for simplicity, to the point there is no thought left that is clear in the original garden. Further, exact and technical communication is what separates Hacker News commenting from the hordes of subreddits that thrive on imprecise babble.

-

At minimum, this does not capture that I _am_ challenging the Original Commenter ("prima facie suspect") to more rigorously defend his position, but doing so respectfully. "One salient" written source is a carefully chosen framing: the OC cannot meet it by replying with support peripheral or meta to the main argument, but neither can he dismiss my request as burdensome, demanding multiple links.

The proposed revision suffers from its terseness, losing both nuance and completeness.

-

Communication is about being understood. Not about crafting the perfect sentence. Even if you craft the perfect sentence, that will be the perfect sentence _for you_, and it might be completely lost on many people, some perhaps even more intelligent than you.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure, but the subtext of your comment is "I opened a thesaurus and tried to seem smart", which is why this conversation derailed here. You can't ignore the subtext to craft a mathematically perfect sentence..

-

Communication is about being understood.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure

Indeed, relying on the implicit when the explicit is sufficient [0] does a disservice to one's readers, in whose ability and charity to comprehend my surface text, without presuming confounding subtextual meaning, I have every confidence.

[0] It is not always; some things can only be gestured at, not grasped.

I hope some day you realize how cringe your comments are.

There's more in there... !clinklickers but I got sick of trying to copy the formatting right because the HNewses also love their >

Finished Takagi-san, I liked it a lot and it got a proper ending. Its a very chill show, the setting in the small town is also kinda relaxing, and it doesnt have any drama for the sake of drama. Also the side characters are good. I think there is a spinoff manga where they are adults, Id watch that too if they ever adapted it.

After that I didnt really know what to watch, I started rewatching 'The World God Only Knows' which I watched properly a few years back, but it didnt really fit the mood, I also started 'My Clueless First Friend', but I dont think Ill keep watching, seems a bit too childish.

Then I started 'Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai', I only watched the first episode and am not sure if Ill keep watching. The concept of the show is that the male lead is a 'background character' in life and mostly invisible to his peers, which doesnt sound too bad, but for some reason the show takes this literally at times, like the dude is literally invisible to people standing in front of him. I dont know if I can bear to watch the whole show if they keep that dumb shit up.

I honestly dont get why the japs are so in love with stupid gimmick shows in the last few years, it feels like every second romance/romcom show has a character with a stupid gimmick, and the gimmick is always tired out after three episodes but they keep going with it for the whole show.

Anyway, after that I decided to give 'Kaguya-sama: Love Is War' another try after not liking it back when the first season came out. I was surprised that I liked it. I dont even remember what exactly put me off the first time I tried it, but I think it was mostly the narrator dude being annoying. And he still is annoying, but not that bad. The show is pretty good, though it also has the aforementioned gimmick problem, albeit to a much lesser degree. It is also enhanced by its side characters, and has a satisfying ending, even though I think the movie was a bit overdramatic out of nowhere. I have seen people online talk about a potential fourth season, but I think it is fine how it ended. Maybe another season where it focuses more on current side characters (eg Ishigami) would be nice, where it would sideline Shinomiya and Shirogane a bit, but if nothing else comes it would be fine too.

Unfortunately, now that Ive finished kaguya, I have again reached a point where I dont really know what to watch
