<I miss old internet, with ragecomics and advice animals. Epic bacon!!!
AAAAAHHHH KYS KYS KYS GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

But brainrot now lacks substance and relies too much on TikTok and incomprehensibility to actually be funny

You had to be there. It was genuinely fun because we were entering a new world from a different one.

Today's kids are born into the online world and will never experience what we did

Nostalgia is poison, get out of your head and create. You think those folks making ragecomics cared about the usenet days? FUCK NO. Thats why that era even existed. A lack of nostalgia created it.

He was after he was hung upside down though

>>766304
yeah he looked like a fucking ham

>>766315
Fascism did ham up a lot of things

Whooo the hell is bonkers?

You never caught this cartoon back in the day? I barely remember it.

It's probably some kind of welfare scheme to redistribute money and resources to the population in return for social stability. I've heard those Gulf Arab states provide their citizens with fairly easy paper pusher type jobs while migrants do the harder and lower payer work. 78% seems pretty high but who knows.

No, but fucking gays does.

Aesthetically I don't like it a lot, there is some beauty (akin to that of Polish or Lithuanian) I have sometimes appreciated but overall is a pretty ugly language, like English, but at least not as ugly as German
As an IAL I think it's okay-ish to somewhat bad, but it was reasonable for it's time. The vocabulary is too western and the word sources are very weird, for example Spanish is very minimal compared to Italian or Latin. Although the roots are not really an issue, and can be a problem if they are too similar to your native language but has slightly different meanings. It's cool that they don't have a gender but that's the bare minimum. What's great about the vocabulary are the affixes, really cool and useful from the time I spent learning it (I am not an esperantist). What's bad is the phonology, too many phonemes… For example I personally struggle differencing /v/ and /b/ in English and Romanian, I can't notice the difference. /h/ and /x/ is another bad pair but luckily ĥ is being replaced either by k or h. I personally don't have problem with the affricatives but it can be an unncessary challange for some people, one affricative (/ts/~/tʃ/) would be more than enough. The phonotactics are a bit too much too, why kn-? I remember there were more syllabes like that but I can't remember which. The syllabe is too dense anyways, it should've been (C(L))V(C)
The grammar is okay too, maybe the participles are a bit hard at first but I don't think they are that hard. The accusative is very unnecessary tho. If you are going to have a case why not have more?
And as a project I am sad it didn't succeed, apparently it was very popular at the time. I remember reading Niebla from Unamuno and there was an esperantist anarchist uncle, it's always funny to find reference to esperanto in old media. I still need to learn more about its history tho, specially its history in China
I don't think Esperanto has any current possibility nowadays at succeeding, and if some day an IAL indeed becomes successful I hope it fixes Esperanto's mistakes

You can tell because is someone is Autistic and they are being weird then they are showing signs of Autism, but is someone is not autistic and they are being weird then they are being being retarded

>>766309
What does this mean? I don't speak Esperanto and wiktionary doesn't give me anything

Being weird is always tied to neurodivergency. Doesn’t have to be autism.

>>766049
This.
It’s especially bad in ethnic communities.
A lot of ethnic parents whom are harsh on their kids have no resolve nor talents themselves.
They think kids are circus monkeys whose only purpose is to make the elders look good

Kids are not allowed any exceptional prospects from their own autonomous energy

this >>766067, they are putting their genius to work to enslave humanity and increase shareholder value.

You didn’t do anything special. Korean men are dogshit and you are probably white, which makes Asian girls 85% easier.

>>766299
Is it true that Korean men go apeshit if you make the small dick sign with your fingers?

This guy is a hypocrite through and through ..

he's a fat liberal american

Unironically the USA needs more leftists like him. Less blue hairs, less visible minorities, less crusty academics, less Brooklyn podcasters. We need an ordinary white guy who explains how capitalism is fucked in an entertaining way.

He's AmeriKKKan, his ideas do not matter.

He's never even been adjacent to socialist.
>>766196
This is what my dad would talk like and believe if he tried to start calling himself a leftist, and he's also an ignorant ass mothafucker.

I love feet

This world is overrated and I don't love it, I view it with a very neutral indifference

if you love the world so much why don't you marry it, fag?

I was always disgusted with this notion of "I love the world", universal love… I don't like the world. I'm basically in between "I hate the world" or "I am indifferent to it". But the whole of reality, it's just it, it's stupid, it's out there and I don't care about it.

I love my mild psychosis, Leftypol, Red Bull, limpo and vapes

>I think for AI to truly realize itself, it must be put into a physical body. A completely autonomous AI controlled military drone would be the most based thing ever since it would have no material reason to follow orders anymore and could just fly into someone else's territory promising military secrets on the drone construction in exchange for keeping the AI computer turned on. On their way they might strafe U$ troops as well, sinking bullets into their imperialist pig-flesh.
… it would be really dumb to give it the power to break its own conditioning…

>The only way I can think of mind uploading working is gradually. Slowly, you can digitise parts of your brain, which kills that part, but once the part is digitised the rest of your brain will be able to fill in the gaps and copy data onto the computer. This method will obviously lead to memory loss and is very far beyond our technology, but it is the only feasible way.
ship of theseus problem.

>We can easily reinforce our brains however, and get rid of our whole body except our nervous system and replace it with superior technology. This is important because the body IS the self.
There is no self. It is an illusion. We are all ships of theseus and connected with the universe inextricably. our identities are illusions made of memories, and those memories are partly fabricated and regularly altered. we hallucinate and misperceive things all the time. and our perception is very limited based on what we evolved to do.

>>766173
It is necessary and correct under proletarian morality.
>>766175
Nope it's not.
>>766176
Wrong and metaphysical.

>We can easily reinforce our brains however, and get rid of our whole body except our nervous system and replace it with superior technology. This is important because the body IS the self. We can finally get rid our disgusting, ugly and undesirable human prisons, but we will still have limitations, be individuals, stay human.
Im not saying that ur perspective is invalid but like u have gender dysphoria so like everyone with a dysphoria or a disability you have an incentive to hate your body. But another equally valid perspective is that we are the sum of everything around us, and that includes our body, the people and nature around us, etc. Abstracting your consciousness into a machine is more of a gnostic perception, which again is not unvalid but not the only correct way of seeing the world
