A whole bunch of life-changing stuff happened to me over the course of a couple of years that forced me to reevaluate my viewpoint
Then Trump got elected, which I was totally convinced was not going to happen and I really realized consciously, once I got over the shock, that I didn't understand what was actually going on.
That I'd been in a bubble and needed to find a broader perspective. Which I've been working on since.
well you are a rare bird for self analyzing and reflecting
I try, I guess
I think it's possible for more people to do it, they just need a particular set of circumstances
from each according to his circumstances
I was born with an analytical mind and a high IQ, I don't feel I deserve any credit for that.
Well like, this ties into my issue with twitter
Back in the day, when I "redpilled" myself, information was gathered and distributed across a sort of forum archipelago
I miss forum culture so bad.
You would hop between communities without being visible to the community you used to exist in
Social media is like the forum's retarded stepchild
So I went onto a freethinker, primarily ancap/minarchist forum, and all of my arguments got strengthened or (more often) destroyed
So I rebuilt from scratch
i assume Discord is half forum and half social media
Have you ever heard of this source?
Lazard for energy cost comparisons?
They pretty much report that solar and wind (utility scale) are basically cheaper than everything but gas.
Discord is like the old forum system, but it's too centralized re: hosting
*new construction
Discord also doesn't let users start threads or order threads by most recent reply. It's really very different.
@Salacious Swanky Cat no I haven't seen that one. I'll look it over, thanks.
VBulliten forums, miss those days
Pbnation.com <3
Yeah. It’s interesting to look at. It isn’t a perfect comparison though. @uncephalized
yeah very different from a forum
forums are great for archiving information as well as real-time discussion
I can barely follow forums because the response format is weird to me.
how so?
Some of them don’t have the indentations.
So it gets weird to me.
It’s mostly from unfamiliarity
There is a pretty broad variety of forum builds, some of them are more readable than others.
I’ve only joined one forum ever and that was recently for electric cars
my favorite forum is social.technet.com
NOT
Don’t know what that is
Lol
