2016-09-17 at 2:16 AM UTC in Communication: how to win verbal fights and get what you're owedSo I just googled Mike Cernovich. Is this a joke? Holy shit, just reading some of the pages on this dude's site I'm honestly unsure if he's a parody of shitty self-help bullshit or not. It hits every major point I can think of.
Shitty poorly understood and decontextualized philosophy quote? Check.
It's a Nietzsche quote? Check.
Endless rambling about strength training? Check.
Overly reductive poor understanding of evolutionary theory? Check.
Uses the term "beta male" unironically? Check.
Fox news appearance? Hey, that's just above and beyond the call of cringe-lordery
This guy is actually like a notch above retardation and I don't understand why seemingly smart people would like him beyond his comedic value -

2016-09-13 at 3:49 AM UTC in Funny article for programmers.
Of course he's a liberal. Lanny is a professional programmer he's more socialist than Bernie Sanders. Still funny though.
Programmers are usually some ill conceived form of libertarian. Leftists are uncommon and authoritarian socialists are downright rare, represented usually among that hated caste known as architects. Combine somewhat smarter-than-average people with a lifetime of semi-conceited praise for fixing computers and a culture that valued a narrow technical kind of freedom which has since transformed into a shibboleth and as such is generally taken wholly out of context and you get the modern programmer: convinced markets are infallible and sometimes smart enough to pull up some self-serving paper that doesn't really say that but looks sorta close if you squint at the abstract the right way.
Interesting the influx of SJW has not significantly reversed this trend. It's as common to hear perceived bigotry described in terms of some kind of bizarre subsidy-by-patriarchy that's getting in the way of glorious markets which are totally-fair-and-never-ever-short-change-people-due-to-factors-they-have-no-control-over as it is to hear the typical leftist response which would be "regulate that which is evil". -

I guess it makes sense, he himself admits to his freudian foundation and fecal/urethral concerns abound there.
Doesn't seem like such a bad idea though, in heavier trips I've had moments where I wanted a glass of water or to go to the bathroom but the level of motor control and the span of subjective time that took were nearly inconceivable. -
2016-09-12 at 8:31 AM UTC in A trianglism math question for those who are worthy.Kek, I was going to come into this thread to explain how participation in mathematics is contingent upon, if not reducible to, the fairly constrained social elements of the practicing community (a narrow set of notations, common language, standards of rigor to say nothing of american pragmatist views of the field) but then I saw advertising to random masturbating adolescents on omegle and decided that was sufficient to redeem any prior transgressions against mathematics.

She was perfectly friendly but pretty passive aggressive, I never saw her get into an actual confrontation with a poster and I don't know why that bugs me but it does, not just talking shit but like I don't think I ever saw her even tell someone they were wrong or disagre directly. Maybe I'm just biased because she banned me, but it's hard for me to trust anyone who hasn't flung shit in a pigsty

uh oh someone sounds triggered! you're fairly predictable , before even clicking on the thread I knew your comment was directed towards me. Step up yo game bitchboi number 2!
Every post you make is like a grade schooler's shitty collage of buzzwords and canned insults. For someone who does nothing but talk shit constantly you sure are bad at it. -
2016-09-12 at 6:24 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionHey, it's 9/11. Malice, do you remember that post you made about becoming the superhero "drug man"? Like going around and administering psychoactive drugs to people when they were in need?
For whatever reason that post stuck with me, like sometimes I'll be in a boring ass meeting and I want to die or someone else is spazzing out over something stupid and I'll be like "this looks like a case for DRUG MAN", imagine you busting through the glass door in a cape with a fanny pack on, pulling out some pills, and handing a different one to each person. Gets a chuckle out of me. -

2016-09-08 at 11:51 PM UTC in I'm slowly turning into obbe
I'd tell her to pick up a book on biology and research the definition of a cat.
There's nothing in the "definition of cat" (itself biologically somewhat ambiguous) that you'll find in a biology textbook that precludes a cat from being a person. Not that I think cats are people, but I'm not sure why personhood would even be a prerequisite for inclusion in a family anyway or why non-personhood would mean you have total inalienable property rights over a thing.As long as it's not a continuation of my consciousness as i experience it, it is not me.
What does it mean to be a "continuation of your consciousness"? Presumably a sufficiently complex simulation could execute all your same mental activities in the same sequence as you today, we could even imagine it doing this in parallel in advance of the physical "you". I actually agree that such a simulation would be a different thing, have a different although isomorphic consciousness, but I'll argue that precludes physicalism. If subjective experience is reducible to physical states (the physicalist premise) then identical physical systems should have identical consciousness properties. Like if we say acceleration is reducible to mass and net force of a system then two physical systems with same net force and mass must experience the same acceleration, and yet you seem to admit here that two systems with the same physical properties (a perfect clone or a perfect simulation and yourself) would have different consciousness. So something has to be wrong, maybe the idea that you wouldn't share an internal experience with a clone or simulation is the mistake but that seems even more out there than the idea that consciousness is nonphysical. -

Generally at that point diagnosis is most costly than replacement. There's a good chance the hard drive is intact so save that but most laptops aren't built to be modular, unit failure means replacing the system unless it's some specific line someone cares about LTS for

2016-09-04 at 5:14 PM UTC in Lanny, why did you pretend to be a girl for so long?
Lanny will not answer these types of questions.
Sure I will, and have multiple times in the past. The reason I pretended to be a girl on zoklet is that it started out as a joke but went on long enough that I couldn't back out of it without it. I was (still am but not as bad) an awkward fucker and there were times in my life when I talked to people from zoklet more than in real life, people got to know me as a girl and it was just easier the keep that up than go through the process of being like "lol/jk". That's pretty much all there was to it, if I got some kind of sexual kick out of it I'd say that but I didn't. It does get you more attention, can't deny that, but that wasn't the motivation.
I've pretended to be a girl outside of zoklet but it was mostly just to troll. Also I usually gen female characters in games because there's frequently some gameplay difference which is interesting, also I tend to like the female models/armor designs better on a purely aesthetic level. -
