I'll be damned if this river flows unopposed
  • There is a norwegian study that found that isolated beaver babies start piling up sticks and stuff at some point but do not build dams. They concluded (the scientists) that piling up stuff is genetic and building dams is cultural (has to be learned). I have no link but the study was made in Bø

  • Dying man tells police he was on Japan’s most wanted list for 50 years
  • Whoa what a reaction. I wasn't going for validating what they did by criticizing the replacement of information about their political ideas and actions with the word "extremism". But that seems exactly how people understand the term. As if there was a righteous or acceptable "middle" the degree of deviance signified how good or what smth is... The political compass needs to know what things are about, not how "x-treme" they are.

    Or we need to use that term on any bombing of people, like for example "the extremism of [any us president]". Step 2 would be picturing what benefit that would add to the conversation

  • How often do y'all visit 4chan?
  • I think this is it more or less.

    It felt like fun freedom to have a communicative realm with no rules, guidelines, morals at all. But in hindsight I guess it was fine for me because I had a moral compass and intellect so mad-max-land allowed me to re-explore my limits and opinions on my own, like from point zero, without preexisting structure (wich is always present if there is any decency).

    For some, apparently, that was not fine. Like they didn't catch themselves in the freefall of morals and epistemology that comes with the 4chan credo of "everything here fake and foolish...". Or maybe it's that some don't have a corrective social realm outside 4chan, able to get them back to the ground. And those ones overtook. (Maybe cause the other ones are done playing edge walk after a while).

    Tl;dr: had fun, learned some, feel a bit bad now

  • Welche "unnötigen" Käufe haben sich bei euch als doch deutlich nützlicher als erwartet herausgestellt?
  • Hehe. Ja also eigentlich darfst du grundsätzlich installieren was du willst. Auch Löcher bohren darfst du beliebig. Ich meine sogar, du bist nichtmal mehr verpflichtet die am Ende zu stopfen. (Was aber sonst auch sehr einfach und billig ist) Das Ding kommt an dieselben Anschlüsse wie eine normale Glühbirne. Neuere Häuser haben da wohl noch Erdung, bei mir gabs das nicht. Da musste ich dann Kurzschließen, aber das is ziemlich egal, weil nur die Gefahr besteht, dass im Falle eines Gerätdefektes das Gehäuse unter Strom stünde. Und das ist ja bekanntlich an der Decke verschraubt aka außer Reichweite.

  • Welche "unnötigen" Käufe haben sich bei euch als doch deutlich nützlicher als erwartet herausgestellt?
  • Ein Deckenventilator. Monatelang hin und herüberlegt. Am ende 140 ausgegeben für einen hübschen und großen mit Leuchte und "extraleise". Im Winter geil weil lüften schneller geht. (Rauche im Zimmer und merke direkt wenn die Luft nicht hanz ausgetauscht is) Im Sommer geil weil geil.

  • It is deeply inspiring what this oevre tells us about the dialectics of meaning developing between a post and it's audience. Even with no inherent meaning the picture unfurls the deepest human desire to connect and to form communities, especially in disconnecting times and virtual places of refuge from it.

    No I'm not going back to reddit. I will stand with you, withstanding the most selfreferential, the most empty, in hope of a we to fill that void.

  • That's not fair at all.

    Capitalism sucks. The humans have a bountiful potential for they create meaning via emergence of consciousness in an organism wired to desire/avoid. Only this brings so the categories good/bad into existence.

    Don't blame humans because some historic proceedings did not yet suffice.

    We are our victims, too.

  • Ist es erlaubt in Fitnessstudio in Deutschland Gewichten zu heben, wenn man Socken traegt?
  • Ich glaube nicht, dass das gesetzlich geregelt ist. Vielleicht steht etwas dazu im Vertrag mit deinem Fitti. Aber manche trainieren in Badelatschen und mamche ziehen an den Geräten die Schuhe aus, also denke ich es ist okay. Einfach machen, würde ich sagen. Wenn sich jemand beschwert, kannst du ja sagen "achso wusste ich nicht". Ich trainier in 15 jahre alten Laufschuhen wo die Sohle halb abfällt...

  • So... it's been a while now since the great exodus. How are you all doing my fellow refugees?
  • There is so much less pretentious misleading alienated crap here. Love that. I'd like some more non-repost interesting videos, that's something I miss... But totally worth the tradeoff of not getting pissed at how dumb of shit you can post and still get positive mass response. Plus the feed here has an end. No more oops I spent an hour looking at shit

  • This may be a little too generous to 2013, but it's not that far off.
  • Interesting approach, gonna think about it. So far I didn't take disinformation as a result of news companies going broke.

    Why would people forget that the BBC is more trustworthy then someones uncle, just because his opinion is for free? The distrust in "old authorities" like big newspaper or governments is, in my opinion, a long-term result of the broken promisses of the hegemony they are, or seem to be, part of.

    The concept "people have to have to pay for quality information" doesn't sit right with me. Relevant info should be available for everyone! And trustworthy news orgs should be funded pubicly.
