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

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

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

A factor might be that no one likes to be remembered theyre soon to die..

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.

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...

Clearly visible he was exquisitely good of a boy. May his goodness subsist in his pack.

You are now our linguistic vanguard.

Just gonna use this to not offtopic everyone: How come I can sometimes not see up/downvotes but only that global score in the upper right corner?
