Changes in v11.0:
In fact, enjoy your silly fetishes. I'm quitting DQN right now.
don't go...
Why bother, that other dokyun talks to himself in the other thread like I only wish I could!
Err, ehm, I mean I'm bad at making a meaning conversation with myself.
Shhh!..
Please post in this thread, whilst I'm giving up on everything?

Ten minutes to stumble upon a post and write a short essay? No way, Jose-y.
Espeon, your "post your thoughts" thread is so shitty that while I was reading it it made me spill my coffee on my pants. It's 8 am and I can't change them because I'm at work now. I blame you personally for this.
The subjectifying power of language is what gives us the mental impression that for every observable ‘effect’, there is a ‘causal agent’ responsible for it.
I'm just going to leave this here http://goodshare.org/wp/accepting-responsibility-for-our-own-actions-is-the-problem/
It isn't even shitty actually. Well, if you ignore a few parts. It's even better than the other one.
>>161 I don't care; I need someone to blame for spilling my coffee on my pants, and I won't blame myself.
>>158
You should sue your employer for negligence. After all they let you drink coffee at a workstation that has an unrestricted access to the WWW. They should be held responsible for your ruined pants, burned thighs and ensuing stress.
>>165
/pol/ go away, no one want's your brain washed antics here. Climate change is real, and more than 97% of scientists in the field say that the climate is changing because of human interaction with it at a greater rate than ever before.
Sometimes it amazes me that many people trying to stop global warming want to use communism to do it. It didn't save Chernobyl from environmental disaster!
"Overthinking" it, >>166 might result in internet restrictions across the country or a large warning sticker on your display that "consumption of hot drinks while operating computing machinery might lead to stained clothing and physical injuries".
I suppose this is one of those times when we have to enjoy what we have.
>>168
What baffles me is that many people trying to stop global warming scream that it is unavoidable (and that we are probably going to die).
What a hilarious paradox! What a waste of time and resources! Isn't it logical to prepare for consequences instead?
>>167
‘climate’ is a seven-letter word. It has no basis in physical phenomena. It is a linguistic idealization that we constructed using language to adapt our thoughts to the facts of our experience/observations.
‘climate change’ is ‘circular reasoning’ of the ‘lightning flashes’ variety. the millions of times that ‘lightning flashes’ and/or ‘climate changes’ has been spoke, does not establish its meaningfulness.
'human interaction with it'... hahahaha, I'm afraid your the 'brain-washed' one here.
Climate has changed in disastrous ways ever since there was an Earth and something resembling people on it. But even if every instance of climate change until now has been natural, it doesn't follow that man-made climate change is impossible and that the current instance is natural. That logic is fucked up and doesn't work.
Yeah, stupid ass hippies talk about "saving the Earth", which is a lot of horseshit. The Earth will be fine. The Earth will recover, shake itself off like it always does. No, those hippies should talk about saving ourselves, because dramatic climate change is always a threat to living things on the Earth's surface, not to the Earth as a whole.
Personally, I think we should just revitalize our space program and get the fuck off the planet and try to colonize Mars or some other place that's not here. That's my solution. Fuck the Earth.
>>173
You mean you didn't already get an invite to the space colonization escape program?
>>173
Your plan makes humanity sound like a virus or an interplanetary swarm of locusts.
>>173
But it's boring and lawless out there. If I was one of the first colonists, I would probably become the first mass murderer in the Outer Space History of Mankind.
I agree about "fuck the Earth" though. Let's burn every possible thing, launch nukes and have one final giant orgy.
Do you think it's possible to tie global warming with Middle East crisis? Imagine how offensive that might be for some politically-affected person
>>179
I have the solution to kill off the humans that will harm no other living creatures. Smallpox, the Russians have it weaponized and it cannot hurt anything else.
>>179
It's survival of the fittest, boy. Our species (not race!) didn't fuck up. In fact, our genus of the great apes is the strongest on the entire planet. The inbred fuck ups like cheetahs or those unfortunate to have valuable body parts (e.g. elephants and whales) deserve to perish at our hand.
If this rock is to be devoid of life, it must be due to humans―not some fungi, viruses, bacteria or lumps of stone and ice from outer space!
>>182
I... w... are you joking?
Legitimate question. I honestly can't tell. It's like being on world4ch again.
HI, I'm new here :), is this a nice internet place to talk about anime I like like gaia is?
>Just because your race
>your race
Are you not a human? Are you a horse or a cat or something? Where did you learn human language?
>>185
The race you are ≠ not the race I am

Next !
What a wonderful spectacle was brought by that thunderstorm!
My captcha, lobotion, made me think about lobotomy.
darwinism is based on the over-simplified logic of ‘things-in-themselves’. in the non-dualist view, it is the relational-spatial plenum in its entirety that is evolving, and the dynamic forms we see ‘evolving’ are relational features in the evolving relational spatial plenum.
stupid nerds...
It will be my goal to attack and obliterate such fort by any means necessary.
Very Impotent Post
>>186
Please, you know what I mean. Saying "your" instead of "our" clearly implies that you are not a part of the category you're talking about. I'm a fucking English teacher, so I know what I'm talking about.
It's nice to see so many programmers, mathematicians, artists and English teacher on DQN!
Also, 196GET!!
I meant "teachers". That stupid dislynxia is happening again.
>>195
I'm an English native and I know what I'm talking about when I manipulate the syntax and semantics of the words I produce in order to piss pedants like you off.
>>198
Did you know that Russian would allow even more flexibility for your dark deeds?
If I were you I'd hug an espeon and never let go. I'm giving you all a chance here, you know!
Gates and doors are utterly useless and evil. They are the reason our society is so split and unfair. They are the reason for envy and crime.
The good thing about being lonely is that you have only one idiot to deal with. Whom you understand perfectly.
One of the problems with popular understanding of Global Warming is that many people learned about different layers of the Earth's atmosphere from a chart, on which the planet was represented by a small circle in the middle with concentric circles of layers stretching outwards for what could be seen as thousands of kilometres. However, actual atmosphere is so thin that a trip to visit your close relatives might take a longer distance than to reach the edge of space (i.e. the hypothetical Karman line).
I was going to surprise everyone by serving an ice-cream. What a surprise it was when I opened the freezer and discovered that it was already half-eaten.
Global warming doesn't exist! The atmosphere isn't real!
All that ruckus about air is a pseudo-scientific nonsense designed to leech more money from governments and organizations. I don't see air, it doesn't exist. Electricity doesn't exist too.
So, imagine a noble person telling you that he "likes tits" and then learning that he is not a member of RSPB.
I should make a plan for tomorrow.
Oh, wait. Sun is up already. Whelp, "plans for today" it is.
>>211
Not to mention Biomes and Food chains, all malarky, but God, god is real because I have FAITH in him.
Women are sluts.
I hate most men.
What could I possibly draw on the pure white, infinite canvas of tomorrow? After so many failed attempts, I may just be afraid to try it at all. Being mildly psychotic because of sleep deprivation isn't helping my mood, either.
please don't generalize
>>222
Just like me and a promised picture of DQN lobby... We should try surrealism both literally and figuratively.
>>219,221
Men are arseholes, women are cunts. Stuff them all with giant dildos.
Please generalize more!
no don't

Oh gods I need a painkiller. Or maybe not. Maybe i can just wait this out. More fruit would probably be a good idea either way.

My display is too bright. I turned it down to 42 and it's still too bright. Just a couple of hours ago it felt too dim.
>>233
More fruit as in any. Being sick usually means vou need more vitamins and minerals than usual. In other news, that chicken soup was delicious.
>>226
Did you know that only human brain is capable of thinking in categories?
A rare specimen of the rest of Great Apes is capable of categorizing things in one "level" (e.g. banana, apple → food). Humans are capable of having multiple level categories with ease, e.g. banana, apple → fruits → food. Of course, you might even add a few more categories like "vegeterian" or "natural" in this chain.
This might seem really obvious to us, but it is an impossible task for any other animals.
Goddammit, headshot upon a headshot, I didn't think I had mad skillz in me!
>>229
Why does rap lyrics has to rape English? We have centuries of poetry and songs preceding rap, pure English worked flawlessly there.
>>238
it didn't work flawlessly
in fact we had a bajillion guys making up their own words and shit for what they wrote, sometimes solely to make it fit to their meter and rhythm or to make a play sound a little bit more normal by avoiding long statements to put across a single thought
rap still does rape english though
>>240
Poe and Shakespeare were really big offenders in that regard, much of what Poe used was slang that he butchered, neither canon nor proper slang.
Such a peaceful day was today. That thunderstorm brought some cool air.
I'm hanging out with cool air tonight.
'the brain thinks' is linguistic idealization
didn't you get the mii
that reminds mii, formal petition to change the thread title! abolish the [Brains]
was that a formal petition, or just a petition... id have to fill some form at some ministry or other for it to be formal...
where's the minister of threads naming? this thread is pretty popular thought, maybe it has its own minister...
>>246
Thinking (conscious, "talking to self") and feeling (i.e. intuition) is done by the very same circuits that allow us to make those "word categories" about which >>235 wrote.
However, our consciousness―the "I" that senses, thinks, talks (to itself), feels sad, insecure and lonely, thinks―does not, in fact, exist. There is no "centre of consciousness" in the brain. The closest thing to it―our "I"―are those spots of activity that you might have seen on those fancy MRI pictures that constantly shift all over the place. It is strange, considering that we don't feel any interruptions while we are awake, isn't it?
