I wonder the entomology of gay since it supposedly meant happy

Was it itself slang?

I wonder how Paris president is doing...

I mean France's president.... is he still vacationing?

hanging by a tree would be most amusing

or on a tree, hmm, well hanging...

What is the deal with France? I've been partying all week and need an update

Imagine Macron gets guillotined but we never found out because of a media blackout

ya, sad and joyous events, good question

It's business as usual, the media is still torn on whether they should call the yellow vests a far right riot or a righteous lefty protest

Eh

Unless you're anywhere in the EU, in which case you'll never hear anything about the situation whatsoever

are there even far right french people?

Seems like the French figured it out

Good for them

not counting the muslims, ofc

I'd imagine France's "far right" is so far left that we wouldn't recognize them as such

@Paradox of course

those are not "french people"

Depends what issue

Far right tends to be seen as bloated free market capitalism with strict rules for people

Far left is bloated government with no rules except they restrict free speech

Sweden's "far right" are social democrats

Am I wrong

I think the distinction is regional and completely subjective, especially if you account for media bias

@Copernicus I agree

"Far right" just means "bad guys", and you only have to disagree with one or two progressive orthodoxies to fall into that category

I suppose I am coming from an American subjective view

I will kermit sewer slide now

>brass ring
and you dare call us peasants?

That's why. Good ol relevant gifs

>not a ring made out of nutter butters

Fucking plebian

@Copernicus. You have a point

I already know the plot of the new Dragon Ball movie but I still wanna see it

I'm such a weeb

idk, do you suck dick for anime?

No

not weeb enough then

I'm jk i only like maybe 5 anime shows

why does that brand sound pornographic? Nutter Butters seems like it should be the tittle of a porn

Because

Swap the first letters of those two words

butt nutters is

Butter nutters

Hahah

Golly I feel awfully degenerate saying that

or ass blasters. which is synonym

Slang synonym at best

That slimy feeling is degeneracy leaving the body

what's degeneracy?

So that's why I feel better and also gross while shitting

Degeneracy means anything that I don't like

I thought I was ordering another plate of degeneracy

ah, so something i don't care about, ty.

Degeneracy is that which is against wholesome behavior

Amirite

same thing applies.

Wholesome means anything that I like

I suppose it can mean that

Copernicus where have you been

Is my memory fucked or did you just show up

he was fishing

I joined this server maybe three days ago

Ah I was on a bender

That makes sense

I'm not sticking around for long tho

What, you're too good for us?

2019 resolution is to abandon social media entirely

Oh lordy

This doesn't count

is this social media ?

what's anti-social media?

I quit Facebook and twitter. I keep YouTube and discord

This is also my only channel on discord

You're welcome tim

It's just chan culture but with usernames, so that's social media

Nah

Even 4chan is social media

This place is not 4chan believe it or not

Try a soc 4chan discord. It's hell

The incentive structure is always the same no matter what you're doing on the internet as long as you're interacting with people

you just try to get replies; whether or not you have a username only matters if you're trying to get a reputation

What else am I gonna do while I'm drinking at a park

I need discord

wait, are you trying to convince me that you guys are people and not just NPCs?

<:NPC:500042527231967262>

no because I'm not sure I'm not an NPC

We found a solipsist

then your previous line is odd.

Solipsism is interesting but I feel that Descartes disproved it a long time ago

How do you know I'm not just the quest-giver

That's up to you

My "I'm quitting social media and becoming a digital hermit" line might just be the trigger for a quest the protagonist can choose to take

The end result is that if we are AI and we feel real and free thinking then it doesn't matter anyway

Right and I chose the Philosophy skill check

Mixed with my low charisma skill

But my higher level logic skill

Versus your appreciation of it

i mean if you have level 0 logic, then you cant even evaluate your logic ability

and thats the relatively common condition

so i think logically

you should assume you have no logic ability

That screaming kid at the vape shop who attacked trump supporter and refused to server him.

Well he was fired!

Logic, like most things, is more of shades of gray

eh i guess

@Dusty Morgan thank you dusty, you are an hero

theres right, theres wrong, and theres frantic attempts to deduce right from very very limited information

"Logic" is what you use to justify decisions you made illogically, so it's worthless. I feel stupid having dumped a lot of skill points into it

@QuakeIV subjective to some, but I believe in objective universal morality

oh, a religious zealot here

yes

y'all need jesus

@Copernicus no, that is the mysterious "lie to yourself" action which uses logic as a base stat

I agree that there's an objective universal morality, but there's no way that any human could attain complete knowledge of it with limited information, so it's a worthless concept for all practical purposes

what's my neighbor got to do with this?

@Paradox no I am not religious I just believe logic and compassion are interwoven

i think thats a perverse statement

logic can serve many goals

@Copernicus right, it is shades of it. We aren't omniscient

@QuakeIV perverse lol I like it

I took the postmodernist pill so don't bother trying to save me, btw

Yes it does have many uses

Logic is a tool to be more complex based on what you want to do, and what you want is based more so on your desired which is likely your subconscious

Be it astrology oriented or animalistic

Personality versus needs of the bodg

Body*

sounds religious

I disagree to me but to you I see how

lot of "believing" almost got cher stuck in my head...

Oh dear I'm sorry. Idk how it sounds but it seems you don't like that song

I don't think it's easy to separate knowledge from belief

I agree @Copernicus

We memorize things but we believe it to be true more because we trust others

Testing it for yourself is better

Right, and at some point you have to trust what information you are given by others because you don't have the time to deduce everything yourself

Or you are just illogical and think rank means higher intelligence

Either way

do you though, have to trust others?

I'll delegate a lot of thinking to others because it's just easier that way

No @Paradox

The only time it's in your interest to not trust someone is if they encourage you to act in a way that you already understand to be wrong

I don't trust anyone but I do have to act like it to accomplish tasks. If they are wrong and I fail due to their false info, I merely blame them or myself depending on the scenario but..

This is basic

Not really @Copernicus

Hence, you don't want to be completely ignorant, because people will take advantage of you. But in order to gain knowledge and decrease your own ignorance quickly, you have to rely on others to fill you in on what you don't know and hope that they aren't deceiving you

People are tricked when the person they trust actually acts very trustworthy first.

Hey, none of us are immune to a good con artist's tricks. If you think you are, you aren't.

You can't fully trust anyone since there is a potential for a genius trickster who does everything in a trustworthy manner until it's too late

That's my point @Copernicus

this man speaks truth

But more like if you think you can trust someone, you're at a disadvantage

However

I'm not a paranoid wreck

I do let my guard down

I'm not sure what constitutes a good con artist.

I have to think I can trust at least a subset of people, otherwise life is just too hard

Hard

I find it fun that way

yeah, but the base operation should be distrust until proven otherwise.

It makes sense from what I've seen

Imagine being so distrusting that you started to doubt the calorie count on a nutrition label

That's no way to live

@!dammnation3(Liberalist) even then, proven otherwise doesn't mean they will always be trustworthy

sure.

@Copernicus but that happens

Actually maybe it is the only way to live

but what's it matter?

but if the suddenly make a left turn from your previous interactions, not much you can do.

just cut ties with that person

fool me once shame on you.

and usually the calorie counts are wrong, btw. As they are just averages.

fool me twice, shame on me.

@!dammnation3(Liberalist) but if they are brilliant, you don't have time to cut ties. They get close to you in order to stab you

If they're just averages, that's fine; I'm gonna eat a large sample of whatever it is I'm buying

This conversation is on par with world leaders being paranoid about their highest retainers

humans are social creature.

then you aren't worried too much about accuracy

so, again, what's it matter?

I'm willing to take the risk sometimes, to potentially get burnt

Of course

whether you believe in a thing or not, if it doesn't impact you, what's it matter?

I know I am logical in saying I can't trust anyone truly to no end. But I actually am very generous in allowing people to prove to me if they are good or not.

But that is in normal social interaction

yeah, that's a great way to operate.

Of course

It matters that the people I trust to provide me with information are correct enough of the time. I don't require the people I trust to be correct 100% of the time

Why does people get so worked up over someone wearing trump shirt or trump hat.

@Dusty Morgan echo chamber

well would you trust them if they weren't?

It could be a gift from his daughter. He is wearing it to appreciate his daughter's gift, but he actually voted for hillary.

There's a bunch of shit that's irrelevant; I don't really care if scientists are correct about the expanding universe or anthropogenic climate change; I'll be dead before any of that matters.

The left doesn't think before they attack, they automatically attack.

@Dusty Morgan the problem is that many believe Trump to be racist because they believe and repeat what they hear from their most vocal and zealous friends

@Dusty Morgan Leftists get mad at Trump apparel for the same reason I feel disgusted by dyed hair. They're signals that you're from the enemy tribe

some people are easily offended by the color of a persons skin. For example, orange.

@Copernicus I do care about scientific bullshit because it is basically religious now with people being so in favor of appeal to authority as a logical fallacy

I'd rather people test something themselves before they believe it

i'd rather people not believe they are right.

As Tesla said, and I paraphrase, "scientists of today go through theory after theory after theory which they cannot prove. And so they create a tower of speculative nonsense"

@Gilgamesh Why does it matter to you that others commit logical fallacies? Whether they're right or not about whatever they're talking about has no impact on you aside from a personal grudge
