are yall talking about kinnies?

what are those?

I mean I have occasional delusions of grandeur, but that's a case of ambition to actually be a rock musician. Not... yknow, saying I'm literally Alexander The Great

otherkin, fictkin, factkin etc

these ones were called soulbonders specifically

I'm interested to hear your opinion, Shin, you seem to have a unique perspective

Specifically otherkin that saw themselves as manifestations of fictional characters.

What do you think about it all?

Im talking existing ones in games or movies.

Like soul reapers?

never heard of soulbonders :(
but yeah, there were several fictkin that went off the rails
started harassing people for being "doubles" etc
most of them have grown up and calmed down by now tho

did you see the saga of carrionkin?

maybe fictkin is what they call them?

👀

Dunno let me find the vid

Carrionkin?

https://youtu.be/lFRjrLmc_4c

carrionflowerkin* sorry

a glorious troll blog

said they identified as a carrion flower and ate dirt and communicated with plants

Its one of the more notorious ones, mainly cause its scale was... lets say larger than just one or two

and that having houseplants is slavery

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5953012/ @Jasse just skimmed this because I'm on my way to work at the moment but it appears to touch on some of what's been said.
It's not 100% across the board, but there is data that suggests that GD may be caused by discrepancies in development during birth

This has gone so weird.

And they did also cover stuff like people who didnt just identify but also wholly believed themselves to be fictional characters.

This vid is talking about a cult that specifically went for FFVII characters

Always wanted to be one punch.

Cause I am bald

as a kid i was interested in vampires, which lead me to otherkin which lead me to kinnies
and then gamergate happened and i got into politics

You know what you have to do

TO be honest I knew of otherkin but I thought they were just.. you know.. rp

The only issue is that since you're already bald you won't know when to stop training

Like i had friends who did forum RP. I thought otherkin just... roleplayed things

it started off as roleplay, or just a way of saying "i sympathise a lot with these characters"

but then it turned into... "i literally am this character, fuck you if you don't acknowledge it"

I do tons of roleplay, I play tons of D&D, but I can differentiate from myself and my self-insert characters

and from there, they started attacking doubles

Anyway check out that vid

It was interesting enough for an hour.

It is great to go outside and hike and find out how cool the world is.

not everyone got the liberty for that

Id reccomend a nice trip to the park

My dog loves it.

I think people should get out more over all. Working out makes people happy. But then again doughnuts do that too.

Actually no, I think anything involving your hands nad producing something is enough

Im talking small crafts. Or even just cooking. I also preserve veggies as a side income thing

Thats if, you cant work out for some reason

Creating something is great. Goes to having pride in yourself but not being proud.

Why is the fed raising rates without signs of inflation?

its FED.
they can do what ever they want.

they are not accountable to anyone.

So correct and yet so wrong.

#shouldhaverefinanced

FED is missing one trilion dollars and nobody knows where it went.

accounting errors 😏

Last year due to inflation 6 trillion dollars of us debt disappeared.

Was that the one ben carson audited?

Hi ho.

I think the Fed is still trying to operate under a pre-Trump model of natural unemployment.

i think FED is still exploiting and enslaving US as it have done all of its history.

What was the name of that news website that rates 4 news articles a day? Tim and Luke meet them at Anarcapoko last year.

Knife media. I think

if knife, they dead

The concept of a social construct is a social construct. All language is. That's why Progressive Intersectional Feminist Social Democrats attack our understanding of words.

Can you educate me on what you mean good sir?

https://www.facebook.com/BigThinkdotcom/videos/10155789287013527/

@Stratowolf Are you asking Untamed?

Yes

I think I get what he's putting down: The entirety of language developed from the social nature of humanity, therefore it is, in fact, a social construct.

Say the word "chair". That sound doesn't actually mean anything to anything except a Human who speaks English.

(or maybe other languages, but it may mean something different)

So, the concept behind Language is that it can be fluid. A word only has the meaning it's given by it's listener.

We can also, beautifully, state that offense is a social construct by that same logic.

Hmm, thinking in these terms is giving me a bit more insight, too.

So, really, Culture would be a sum of social constructs. Using the Social Construct argument to dismiss something is an argument to dismiss culture.

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

So, there's also a pipeline. Human Behavior > Human Interaction > Social Construct > Agreed Upon Norms > Culture.

All of this comes from natural human interaction.

Sorry if I seem like I'm computing a little more than the question called for.

I'm exploring the idea a bit 'out loud'.

Sandwiches are the most customizable food without changing what it is. Also what do you think about the death people.

Hm..

..mH

Is a hotdog a sandwitch?

Women on average are basically as smart as men. The significant difference is distribution. There is more genetic diversity in each generation of men than women. Both geniuses and retards are more likely to be men. Women make babies, and it is extremely important for the survival of the group that they do not fuck that process up. A single man can breed with 100 women simultaneously, but 100 men can't breed with a single woman simultaneously. It is better for women to not change too much between generations, to maximize the quantity of fertile wombs. It is better for men to change a lot between generations, to maximize the quality of men. Polygamy has a high evolutionary fitness, but incels have a negative impact on the evolutionary fitness of a group. Homosexuality tried to solve this problem, but traps are doing a better job. Traps are gay, but the survival of the human race depends on them. Inshallah.

I don't know if a hotdog is a sandwich

A hot dog is a sausage sandwich.

I would say yes

Is it an open-faced sandwich since the bread is linked?

Hmm the sandwiche debate deepens

Yes

Sub sandwiches aren't considered open-faced.

Does a gyro count as a sub sandwich with one pita but a proper sandwich if you have two pita?

all hand-held, bread-encased foods can be called sandwiches, but might not be, due to the specific date of the Earl of Sandwich's invention. the pre-Earl foods must then be regarded as retrosandwiches.

Traps = Trans

Trans = Banned from US army

Gay = Not banned from US Army

Therefore Traps = Not gay

>Traps = Trans
Jessie Cox?

there are no girls with dicks, only guys with tits.

Aren't girls with penises just men?

**"No you don't understand!"**

There is overlap between 'trap' and 'trans' but just being trap doesn't make you trans

Traps = Femboys

Femboys are not all trans.

Well, theres different ways to describe sex. Like how one presents oneself in the world, vs one's sex chromosomes vs one's external genitilia. I think these interpretations often get conflated.

For the vast majority of people, these all line up to 1 of 2 sexes. There's a spectrum but it's extremely bimodal.

@cub i believe I'll go with protosandwich

traps are guys who pass as female

they can just be crossdressers or guys with awful taste in fashion

a pair of skinny jeans, Long hair, and a alot of chocolate that goes straight to ass fat, and from the back they can be considered a trap, breifly

but they do need to pass

not all trans can be traps

but trans can be a trap

and non-trans can be a trap

trap is a difficult thing to define

it is a scenario, a slur, a description and an identity

trapness is in the eye of the beholder

pretty much

if me and you walk into a bar

and you saw a trap

but I saw that as a girl

to me, that would be a trap because I fell for it

huh I idk

to the guy who saw him as a guy, it's defiantly not a trap

to him it's a sissy/tranny/fag/transexual female

to you its a trap as you considered it passable

to me it's a real trap because I fell for the trap

MINE CRAFT MUSIC IS BETTER THEN 80% OF MODERN MUSIC THIS YEAR

I thought debates were supposed to be controversial.

*than 😉

lol

Why americans dont use "than"🤔

We say "then" in both cases.

It's a phonetics thing.

I find it so annoying. Because "then" and "than" have completly different meaning

So do Affect and Effect.

Most people don't know the difference though.

lol Jasse a grammar nazi

I really do think it's because we're talking in our heads and hear "Then" in both cases though.

Yeah. Im not native english speaker.
So for me they are two different words.

They are two different words.

But They're, Their, and There, as well as Then, and Than both cause a lot of confusion at times.

Not as bad as Affect and Effect, but still.

Effect and affect are bit more confusing
But easy to remember.
Affect = cause
Effect = causation

@Oktin I think "trap" as an identity or even a valid description does not truly exist

actually being feminine enough to be completely mistaken for a female is impossible without some form of hormone therapy, therefore disqualifying the "trap" description on account of being transgender.

people can at most identify as trap whilst being transgender, or by not opening their mouth and wearing sufficient clothing

...or being young. too young.
being asian also helps

And using so much make up their face looks like paint ad.

don't know what traps/trannies you're looking at but you must not know where to look

you don't realise that the way you see people and what fools you is not the same for everyone

and how guys these days wear skinny jeans and drink soy

@Aktriaz You would be suprised.

_prove it_

o yeah you would be surprised my dude

you just didn't meet the right people, look in the right places

Find me a dude that looks and sounds like a chick without hormone treatment and I'll eat my words

Sneaky from C9

all you need for that is lil bit of good genes and voice training

aight

can't post a picture

post it in shitposting

Sneaky sounds like a dude

<#398973785426100234>

so much filter

still you can't tell

can't tell whether they've hit puberty <:sweatraka:430185885997203466>

lol they are 24

🍓

argument remains

can't tell if they've hit puberty

arugment proven wrong

i know somone with very similar features but brown hair, no therapy either around 20

@Aktriaz of not Trap, could one identify as an ambush?

fucking hell

@Senny man what the fuck

I give everything I could and give mostly a possive outlook for this cunt

but he cant grasp at that

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that's Scrib for you

honestly he sounds like me

but when I was young

Yup

The dank memes only chat is not dank enough

we need to have a word with QC department

Quality control is an illusion.

Not really. QC definitely reduces the risk of loss

When you have awesome manufacturing, you don't need no QC 😉

Stefan Payne DESTROYS liberals using FACTS and LOGIC

I'm used to discussion and using Facts and when I was young I was right in the middle of a Flame War...

But its really annoying to argue against noobs who don't care about facts...

like: Here is a pic of PSU with blown caps, worked fine a week befure, thus it might not be a bad idea to not reuse your 10 year old PSU with modern shit.

Orthodox are the real Jews

Jews are the real Muslims

Muslims are the real Catholics

Catholics are the real Protestants

Protestants are the real Atheists

Atheists are the real Orthodox

So Atheists are Jews?

they're all zoroastrians in denial

And all Agnostics are ignorant Gnostics.

And Gnostics are the real Christians.

If your guides tell you, “Look, the kingdom is in heaven,”
Then the birds will fly there first.
If they say to you, “It’s in the sea,”
Then the fish will swim there first.
But the kingdom is inside you and it surrounds you.
When you know yourselves then you will be known,
You will know that you are children of the Living Father.
But if you do not know yourselves,
Then you dwell in poverty,
And you are that poverty.

Tim should use illegal immigrant instead of undocumented immigrant

Pretty sure he was just quoting the article.

Ooof

Tump should build sky and ocean wall for maximum security

Soo... he should build a dome?

Yeah that works.

i support the building of the americadome

You ever hear someone say some shit to make someone else sound stupid but then it backfires?

This that shit

Like "Yo, what you watchin some dude suck a dick for? You gay as shit" -- And the other dude turns and says, "Bruh, this is you suckin my dick."

Kinda the same thing as talkin about an 'ocean wall and sky wall' get your shit together

Since it came up in a Black Pigeon Speaks video and nobody seems to be paying attention, I'm going to say this. People can challenge me if they want on it.

That whole Sinclair Broadcasting thing, where they had presenters across the nation affiliated with Sinclair read a statement talking about partisan news is not a bad thing, and people who think it is are <:NPC:500042527231967262>

It wasn't just that they were talking about partisan news, they were pushing a self aggrandising narrative about Facebook being a bad source and how you should trust the news, viewers in [insert location]

It was a script that played at false sincerity and camaraderie, and attempted to stop the flood of people going to alt media sources

That's not the takeway I got from the entire thing.

First off, self-aggrandizing is marketing 101 to begin with.

Second off, that's not the extent of what they were doing.

The videos highlighting the 'uniform delivery' of the message don't seem to point out that the purpose was to get people to send feedback to their local stations if they feel they're reporting fake news.

You'll also note that, despite it being in the actual segments, nobody is actually TALKING about that in the messages. You'll also notice it's being reported on by mainstream sources in a negative light. There's more at play with it than it would seem.

@Beemann It was actually kind of difficult for me to actually find a full version of the spot. https://youtu.be/eFB_Rw9dVEg?t=48

Basically, the people who were covering this (Keep in mind, it started with Brian Stelter at CNN's coverage) conveniently left out the call to action in the statement. The whole thing was telling people to hold their local stations accountable for their reporting instead of just abandoning them.

Final note - If someone wants to report on something like this, but only wants to give you snippets, and no source material, I.E. This memo, or the Google 'Anti-Diversity Screed', get skeptical. Constant awareness of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is the best antidote to it.

https://m.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/KOMO-fake-news-Sinclair-promos-12792032.php has the full written memo

The anchors themselves didn't like it, because it reeks of propaganda more than anything else. Has there been a decline in fake news from Sinclair Media Outlets after this incident?

Is that why? Or is it because the message goes against partisanship?

Keep in mind, that's a report from a Seattle Station. One of the lines in the memo was directly referring to this moment. https://youtu.be/OJ9ce-yMEfc?t=18

The article that was linked was actually based in Seattle, an extremely liberal city.

"This is an attack on our democracy" is not anti-partisan speech, it's alarmist and propagandistic

Yes, and conservatives were also upset about Sinclair

'This is an attack on our democracy' is not in the script.

There was bipartisan concern

It was a patch update for NPCs on both sides. :/

Specifically designed that way.

Sorry. "This is extremely dangerous to our democracy"
When you have a uniform message downplaying alt media

They were downplaying MSNBC pundits

as a company that owns NBC affiliates.

Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people think'...This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.

They were downplaying sharing of information on social media, then extended it to traditional media and said "but we can fix it"

'He can control exactly what people think, and that's our job' - Mika

Has the rate of fake news on Sinclair stations slowed?

Have you SEEN social media? they're not wrong.

Give me just a second here I'll show you.

This friend of mine posts a LOT of shit, I'm trying to find a few of the posts I've had to call him out on...

I'm not that active in social media primarily due to the fact of how accurate the line in question is:
``But we're concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media.``

I mean hell, an easy go-to is Occupy Democrats.
