from each according to his circumstances

2019-08-22 17:00:16 UTC  

I was born with an analytical mind and a high IQ, I don't feel I deserve any credit for that.

2019-08-22 17:01:28 UTC  

Well like, this ties into my issue with twitter

2019-08-22 17:01:58 UTC  

Back in the day, when I "redpilled" myself, information was gathered and distributed across a sort of forum archipelago

2019-08-22 17:02:13 UTC  

I miss forum culture so bad.

2019-08-22 17:02:20 UTC  

You would hop between communities without being visible to the community you used to exist in

2019-08-22 17:02:29 UTC  

Social media is like the forum's retarded stepchild

2019-08-22 17:03:00 UTC  

So I went onto a freethinker, primarily ancap/minarchist forum, and all of my arguments got strengthened or (more often) destroyed

2019-08-22 17:03:07 UTC  

So I rebuilt from scratch

2019-08-22 17:03:12 UTC  

i assume Discord is half forum and half social media

2019-08-22 17:03:35 UTC  
2019-08-22 17:03:46 UTC  

Have you ever heard of this source?

2019-08-22 17:03:57 UTC  

Lazard for energy cost comparisons?

2019-08-22 17:04:29 UTC  

They pretty much report that solar and wind (utility scale) are basically cheaper than everything but gas.

2019-08-22 17:04:30 UTC  

Discord is like the old forum system, but it's too centralized re: hosting

2019-08-22 17:05:11 UTC  

*new construction

2019-08-22 17:06:27 UTC  

Discord also doesn't let users start threads or order threads by most recent reply. It's really very different.

2019-08-22 17:06:58 UTC  

@Salacious Swanky Cat no I haven't seen that one. I'll look it over, thanks.

2019-08-22 17:07:20 UTC  

VBulliten forums, miss those days

2019-08-22 17:07:26 UTC  
2019-08-22 17:07:34 UTC  

Yeah. It’s interesting to look at. It isn’t a perfect comparison though. @uncephalized

2019-08-22 17:08:12 UTC  

yeah very different from a forum

2019-08-22 17:08:21 UTC  

forums are great for archiving information as well as real-time discussion

2019-08-22 17:08:34 UTC  

I can barely follow forums because the response format is weird to me.

2019-08-22 17:08:42 UTC  

how so?

2019-08-22 17:09:37 UTC  

Some of them don’t have the indentations.

2019-08-22 17:09:45 UTC  

So it gets weird to me.

2019-08-22 17:09:56 UTC  

It’s mostly from unfamiliarity

2019-08-22 17:10:58 UTC  

There is a pretty broad variety of forum builds, some of them are more readable than others.

2019-08-22 17:11:02 UTC  

I’ve only joined one forum ever and that was recently for electric cars

2019-08-22 17:11:18 UTC  

my favorite forum is social.technet.com

2019-08-22 17:11:21 UTC  

NOT

2019-08-22 17:12:47 UTC  

Don’t know what that is

2019-08-22 17:12:50 UTC  

Lol

2019-08-22 17:13:09 UTC  

I’m a super boomer. Forums are weird to me.

2019-08-22 17:17:16 UTC  

microsoft's forum for support

2019-08-22 17:17:24 UTC  

it's atrocious

2019-08-22 17:17:58 UTC  

As much as I like running Windows as my primary OS I can concur that Microsoft's Forums tend to be ass.

2019-08-22 17:20:47 UTC  

Hehe FondestAlloy is hanging out in voice chat waiting for someone to debate...

2019-08-22 17:21:14 UTC  

He's been there all day
