I'm a chronic pain sufferer so I've made some...not too great decisions when my care was being inadequately handled

That being said, Atkins I am sorta trying to go back and get a feel for what the discussion is about

I have a pet theory that people with different modes of consciousness than the one I experience are more susceptible to post-modernism.

The concept of "social construction" is a very, very real thing to them.

That's interesting to me because I mainly focus on the construction of my own behavior

They operate as if reality is arrived at by consensus and altering the consensus alters reality.

Yes, it can relate to others in real time, but that doesn't mean it's composed of others

That seems like confirmation bias or availability heuristics to me

the thing is it is real. but its a matter of how you work with that information.

"This is what I see, hear, and say, and so it must be"

I agree, but I tend to view things as more of...say...individual consciousnesses interacting in a realtime stage as opposed to the conglomeration of all those being the truth

the environment and our own personal reactions to it are still entirely valid regardless of the hivemind

its a symbiotic relationship

that's a good way to put it

There's a lot to be learned from others as well as introspection

as elon pointed out on rogan, you NEED other people to retain sanity.

if you go live alone in the woods for 1 year. you will lose your mind

Or you will revert to bicameralism.

Concerning Tim's video on Nike, he uses L2 as a source. I watched Galloways video last week on Nike and I didn't agree with his arguments then either. Like Tim said, reputation is more important than fleeting sales (in the long run). The loss of value to your company due to loss of reputation is incalculable

I haven't ever spent an entire year in isolation, but after my injury I had to move into my mom and brother's place and spent close to 9 months only interacting with ppl via the internet as I was unable to walk or travel. It's incredibly taxing on the mind.

You will argue with yourself aloud.

oh my god, yes @Atkins

And then, out loud, I scold myself

Nike should just lease Chinese slaves

I always argue with myself, but not aloud cuz i'm a mute 😛

That may have been the typical mode of consciousness as recent as a thousand years ago.

It is very uncommon to find ancient text of any culture or language written in first person.

I believe people are questioning me

I typically speak to myself in thought

interesting point @Atkins

until like 5 years ago

it was uncommon for people t take pictures of their own face everywhere 😛

So people either think I’m psycho, weird, or I’m just too smart

No it was

That's fascinating about the ancient texts

chances are they are just basic bitches and you go over their head

Ever since portable cameras were made and sold cheap people have photographed their faces

yes, but not 20-30 of the exact same place

I used to take pics of myself with a film camera when I was a small child, I had my own polaroid too

Yes well that’s a problem

i mean lets be honest

how would you feel if you opened someone photo album in their home

I’ve never touched a Polaroid camera

and its just filled with pictures of their own face 😛

close up

lol

for 40 pages long

I’ve done Fuji pictures, and I realize how much I hate them

It's not something I do for fun lol

10 bucks for 10 photos

i have so few pictures of myself i "collect"

It was more of a "i'm 6 years old and this is super cool i'm gonna shake this and make a funny face" type thing

Otherwise you can take a bunch with digitals

i have one photo album from a disposable camera i took at coachella in 2006

xD thats literally it i think

Literally anything is better than an instant camera

agreed

but it was just for kicks

and way before i had a cellphone

exactly, just a novelty

i think?

lol

yea 2006 was early.

things like that make me feel olde

holy shit i cant believe how long ago that was

Makes me realize I lived without the internet for years

But in 3rd and 4th grade everyone wants to stop playing on the jungle gym

you control how much you let the internet meld with your life tho

That explains my weight to an extent

i take alot more 3+ hour walks these days

I don’t think it was that

to disconnect and allow my mind to reflect

Well I mean when I was younger I didn’t really like sports, so I never played with any kids frequently for that

I just liked tag

ah i gotcha, me too tbh, i spent my time obsessing over music thankfully

i dont watch tv or movies and never watched sports

i pretty much stopped watching popular media like 16 years ago

Friends want me to join the football crowd

im so clueless when people talk about movies and actors

i just played video games 😛

I could, but I don’t have the time

i played obscure sadistic korean mmorpgs most of my youth

lol

ew'

I honestly have no clue if football has any specific guidelines

😮

umm wot

of course it does

So American football

its a game. with a rule set just like any other

American Football is just rugby

I’ve taken it as throw ball/kick ball someone catches it and has to get all the way

It’s rugby without the gay shit

have you never herd the , war strat analogy for football?

Well I understand there’s strategies and that’s in all sports

so what you are saying is i need to start watching rugby?

come to think of it, ive seen pics of hot as fuck rugby players

*googles rugby players*

why not watch soccer? 😛

that shit is gay

Ye go for it I like the physical teamwork

Oh now sports are gay

naw just soccer mostly

😃

all sports are

im joking lol

timd def wanted to say that " jack dorsey is a lying sack of shit "

>calls Bootball sucer

im not 😛 all sports are gay

yea pretty much

waste of capitalism 😛

the way i see it, its a (usually) healthy form of tribalistic expression

so is politics 😛

I think you could do some Roman formations in football

no, politics is not a healthy form of it

lol

If anything the turtle

yes it is

politics is the trenches version

its the necessary version.

It’s slow

Statistically, due to the ratio of people partaking to injuries

Politics is safer than sports 😄

So slow

lol

thats a personal choice

so its definately healthier

😉

i mean socially healthy

Until someone picks up a rifle and goes to fight for his opinion

thats not politics

Thats aggressive negotiations

that is literally terrorism

tim's last video "my battery about to die " Dude wtf @Timcast you living with tesla batteries for electricity

the only difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary

Is that a revolutionary succeeded

I don’t see it

Revolutionary can fail

thats a revolution

a Revolutionary is the person

"the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political, religious, ideological or social objectives."

Yes yes

a revolutionary can be a terrorist, but they mean different things

a Terrorist used force to try and gain something but failed, and thus is a criminal
A revolutionary used force to try and gain something but succeeded, and thus is a hero 😛

they are not synonymous per se

im gonna repost in gsming

hahaha

my bad boia

bois

I've decided @Timcast has a bit more credibility with his biting coverage of 🍍 🍕.

I'm still judging him for calling them 'Jiffs'.

judeg him for sayin nigh k

err

nigh k

'Nyk'

there you go ^

I don’t favor the EU but I am a bit biased since my country would be a shithole without it

I won't judge him for saying 'nyk'.

Nike doesn't matter.

agree ^

+!

Gifs, however, are a way of life.

I wish I could stop buying from Nike. Too bad I don’t buy my own shoes

Ask for Sketchers.

Or New Balance.

New Balance is a good one.

i own a nike headband .... but that was a fucking while ago

No NOT SKETCHERS

and im not black wither

either

Why not Sketchers?

lol do only black people wear nike headbands or something?

Has a reputation where I am from

New Balance, then.

lmao

idk but i wear it sometimes and by wear it i mean like maybe 1 year ago ?

just look at tims vid black popularity against nike shrunk the least

I swear I am sick of the mainstream left. When I am of age I will organize a new left party and run for office

No one seems to be doing it here

Why do you need a 'new left'?

Wait, context

Cuz the current one is shit imo

what country are you in?

Ireland

OOOOOoooooooh.

oh.

I'm so sorry.

Did you think I meant USA alt left?

Like commies

meh.

Or anarchists

dave Cullens country

Not like you don't have the same.

computing forever

The fight is the same regardless of where you're at, really.

Laces are for fags

The enemies just use different labels.

Wear crocs

I actually do when I'm driving...

Crocs are surprisingly good driving shoes.

Only extreme-ish party I have here is the nationalist party. Probably not as bad as the media portrays them tho

You know just can’t trust the media nowadays

One good question, though...

Why do you need a new party focused on the left vs the right spectrum of things?

Well I always took Nationalism as the patriotism of your country and the distaste for other countries

Would it not serve much better to have a party with a different perspective?

Nationalism doesn't mean you hate other countries.

Left is pretty popular here

I'm a nationalist and not only do I love my country but it makes me sad when other countries don't love themselves.

What happens, though, if you break through the left/right spectrum, and advocate a party focused on individual rights first and foremost?

Yeah I get what you mean

Again i don’t think there is a clear definition for nationalist

If you played it carefully, you could probably draw from all but the most authoritarian of the group.

In Ireland people tend to vote for whoever will increase their wages

Emphasize exceptionalism.

So choosing left would not be necessary

A campaign could be based on appealing to them through less unemployment and better pay

An cutting ties with the EU

Though cutting ties with the EU is not very popular. Even though they take our fish

Cuz their trade laws help a lot when we trade with Britain

Only good thing Ireland might get from Brexit is the north. Because of the trade between the republic and the north.

Britain just needs to control something everyone needs

Then they can’t deny trade with the brits

huh when did season 2 of iron fist come on netflix... didnt get any notifications or anything.. wasnt even on the front screen

really? huh.

lol wonder if they half want it to fail...

First the quattering is living twitter and now tim is

Interesting

Was Iron Fist good? I've been watching the marvel shows, and I'm almost done with punisher

i thought it was alright... seemed to have mixed reviews

Worse or better than Luke Cage?

Is he officially leaving?

hmmm different.. not sure if better or worse tbh

Tim said he'll be posting less and less until he just stops using it

He's not even posting his videos there

Yeah, I saw that.

That wasn't a hard line stance or anything, though.

A whole thread saying twitter is garbage is a pretty hard stance

he is not wrong though 😄

I can say I don't like McDonalds, that McDonalds is trash, and people who eat there should do better

But if I finish that tirade, and go get a Big Mac

I've been twitter for over an year now, and I've come to this conclusion. The only people who think twitter is good are idiots, or people who barely use it.

You see what I'm saying?

Yea, yea

McDs fries are better than BKs

Fuck both.

He hasn't officially announces like the quartering guy that he's going to delete his twityer

BKs Milkshakes are better

yeah but the burgers in BK are better

that too

not that Ive had any in years
