2016-11-24 at 6:27 AM UTC in Switching to 100% Soylent dietI like soylent. I have it for breakfast most days and then make dinner. I think I'd get sick of it if it was literally the only thing I consumed every day.
Not crazy about coffiest, it's not bad but I prefer the taste of regular soylent. I'd rather just drink coffee or pop a caffeine pill than have it premixed into breakfast. -

2016-11-24 at 6:14 AM UTC in What happenedCan you find any posts you made? vB stored usernames with special chars as html entities which ISS doesn't (because it's a dumb idea) so some people's usernames "changed" in terms of how you type them.

2016-11-24 at 6:09 AM UTC in Critical thinking is a rare skill
Originally posted by greenplastic So you're problem with what I was saying was that it was too vague? I should have given more concrete examples, and then my point would have been valid, and not just an exercise in jerking myself off?
No, telling me about specific examples of people having poor critical thinking skills from fucking facebook of all places is exactly what you shouldn't do if you're trying to convince someone that "most people have poor critical thinking skills". I guess if that's really the thing you want to establish as a point of fact you should start with some criteria for having "good critical thinking skills" which as it stands means basically nothing and then go about showing how half of living humans don't possess this quality, probably with a large representative sample, which facebook is not.
The former task seems more difficult than the latter if you can barf some keywords into JSTOR and skim some abstracts.
If you wanted to say something like "reposting buzzfeed content does not constitute good critical thinking" I wouldn't have any problem with that, it seems like a pretty solid position although it does seem sorta trivial.It doesn't take a genius to realize that a good size of the population are morons who can't think for themselves.
"it doesn't take a genius to realize <thing I believe is correct>". Are you fucking kidding me man? I thought you said you were going to "raise some good points" or something.Then you try to bait me into doing the very thing that you accuse me of, in order to verify your claim after the fact. Tell me, how could I possibly answer that question now? If I say they are good, you're going to say you were vindicated, and if I say they're not so good, you're going to say that I'm an idiot for making the thread.
Well to be honest it seems obvious what your self appraisal is from your OP. The fact that you said people here (which you are) have better than typical critical thinking skills points to this. Also generally if you're going to say "Personal quality X is rare" is usually implies you know what possess X. Like if I say "most people have a poor understanding of the halting problem" this would generally be taken to mean I don't. If this assumption doesn't hold and you don't think you have the critical thinking skills most people lack then let me know. -

I realize this but throwing gold dust at people as a distraction is probably cost prohibitive for most. -

2016-11-23 at 6:01 PM UTC in Hey Lanny, I really like this new forum software. I appreciate you! Also, did you listen to American Football's LP2?Thanks mang, I have a lot of quality of life stuff I want to add into it (the mobile situation isn't great at the moment, realized this on the train this morning and like half the buttons were all wonky) but I'm glad people seem generally positive about the condition of things so far. There are a lot of use cases that I just don't exercise in normal posting so if anything's broken for you let me know.
I have NOT listened to LP2, I'm so far behind on new releases it's not even funny and now that what.cd is dead I don't even remeber how I used to source music. Have it going in another tab now, two tracks in, I get what you mean about the vocals. But yeah, I loved their first album but the production and just general musicality of it has really moved forwards, although I guess you would expect that with like 15 years between releases.
