Nobody used to sit near me in classes, but I've been trying to get a little closer to the people in my cohort. I don't hang out with any of them outside of class, though. They're all close friends with each other. They don't make me feel like an outcast, though.
I just focus on my work or just stay to myself. >>187210 I'm glad your able to get people to be with during class!
I'm the complete opposite, I feel really uncomfortable if I have to work with people or people are near me while I'm focusing. I had to work with group in college a long time ago, I had to do so much work and then people decided they wanted to do something different.
Normies are really hard to be around sometimes. Like when you're doing something in class and obviously focusing, they try to start a conversation with you and think it's not a bother just because you had a conversation with them earlier. I'm busy, now! You're interrupting my work! They really don't get it.
I can't stand normies who start rumours, talking behind people's backs, complaining about work they aren't doing and going drinking. I really don't get those that go drinking every friday and look at me like I'm weird for not getting pissed and fucked up on alcohol on friday night.
No I like my money, I don't want to waste it drinking. Also shittalking about people is just annoying, how can people be so comfortable being two faced, they can be friendly with someone but behind their backs they shittalk.
I don't think anyone starts rumors about me, but I found out from a friend that people used to ask her if I was a creepy person, haha. That was during my first semester, though, and I'm kind of distant in class and keep to myself, and I don't talk a lot until I'm comfortable with a group, when I'm in group settings. But she told them that I'm not and that I just am kind of distant. I think people generally like me, but I also think they all think I'm super weird! But I don't mind since I'm different from them, so I am weird.
I hate that everyone wants to do stuff on Friday. Always Friday! It does give me a good excuse to not get involved, since it's Shabbos, though.
There are a bunch of two-faced people in my program, too. Apparently upper year students bet on which incoming student will drop out first. There's also this one dude that everyone mocks behind his back, but that guy is like, schizophrenic or something and doesn't belong in the program, so idk if it's super wrong to talk about him.
It's good that people don't talk shit about me behind my back because I'm kind of sensitive to it. If they did, I'd probably do something to make sure they can't do it anymore, like get them removed from the program, and I really don't want to be like that.
I am fine about people being shitty to me but if they are shitty to others it pisses me off. I've told off a lot of people for being assholes to others.
These girls hid another girls bags and things around a room in college and when she came in looking for her stuff, I just went around the room and picked it all up from the hiding place without saying anything. I was super passive aggressive at that point.
That's so petty. I have heard some stories about the undergrad dorms at my uni, but just from acquaintances. They would do stuff like hide dildos in people's stuff apparently. Or at least, one person did that. She's hypersexual and pretty masculine, though.
>>187223 Yeah, what pisses me off most is it is so sterotypical for bullying. Like how can you not know you are a shitty person when you do that sort of thing.
I definately saw how ashamed they were and the other people in the room who did nothing were when I picked up that girl's things.
Maria
>>187225 There's lots of ways to justify it to yourself. Particularly the fact that it was a group of girls reinforces it. "oh everyone else is doing it, it's gotta be okay, it's accepted"
>>187227 It'd probably amuse me any day, unless it were used. If it were used, I'd be disgusted and maybe call the police or threaten to sue on sexual harassment unless they left the program.
I've defended someone from a group of bullies who were pressing a lighter against their cheek trying to scare them. I got into a fight with female gorillas and the person who I defended, later befriended them and tried to bully me.
I don't really think it was heroic or anything like that. I think it was actually me seeing the world how I usually expect it to be and I was disappointed. I think it just angers me when I see people like that. They feel so fake.
I have never been able to not help someone, I feel super bad if I don't help someone up or help them pick up stuff or whatever. I see people walking past all the time and I can't do that, It is one thing to feel like everyone else is terrible or untrustworthy but I don't like the idea I am aswell.
I feel sort of self-concious now. But I don't like the idea that it was heroic or good because I think I do these things for myself. I can't stand the idea that I let someone suffer, it'd stick in my mind.
I think heroes still do things for themselves. There's no such thing as a truly selfless act.
But I think that not being able to stand the negative emotions that go along with seeing someone suffering and not stopping it are part of what makes something heroic.
Heroes are heroes because they don't like injustices. They don't like it because it makes them feel bad. So they stop injustices.
Maria
>>187240 Mutually beneficial heorism is still heroic
It is hard to describe it is like other people react to cringe with slight reactions but I run out of the room screaming. It is intense sense of desperation to get out.
And in a same way the feeling of having to do something is intense and more a need for me to not "walk by", I think I don't really know. I'm not heroic. I'm fairly big scardy cat.
Maria
>>187244 Just because it's not technically altruistic doesn't mean the positive consequences of your actions aren't real
Well, heroes aren't really supposed to feel heroic.
Your personal feelings of being a hero or not don't really matter because the status of hero is assigned to people socially, by other people.
A person who feels they're evil might be considered to be a hero by others, for example. Even if they say they're not a hero and they're a villain, people will still see them as a hero.
Thinking about it seriously I think the real reason I don't like being though of as a hero is the expectation to live up to the title. I'm far for *from a good person, I actually don't trust people very much at all.
I don't want to be associated with being a hero since I'm not going to perform... eh, I don't really know how to put it. I feels like a burden.*it
Maria
Heroes aren't flawless. Being a hero isn't a title to live up to. You just get assigned it for heroic actions.
Isn't it scary how people change. I don't want people to have a connection to me in sense of being a hero or good etc. They'll just flip it a their convience.
It'll go from someone I might have felt good about to something that eat away at me.
Maria
Can a villain be a hero? Do you dislike having people having expectations?
>>187253 The way I see it is that Kannagi is Kannagi. Sometimes Kannagi does good things, sometimes she does bad things. In the end, Kannagi is Kannagi.
That's generally how I see everyone. I only expect that people act in character.
Thats not how normal people work though. They will say "oh that kid was always suspiciously silent and had an sinister air around him" Like quiet people are suddenly suspicious for being possible hidden gunmen in waiting.
On one hand I don't care what other people think and on the other I do. I care that they make out that I care and that I conciously did things to be good or evil etc.
Forming relationships with people is a pain.
>>187258 I think you are really rare, at the very least I feel like people on moe are some of my best friends.
>>187261 I think I'm kind of rare. My mindset and view of other people is, at least. I haven't ever met anyone that feels how I do about other people or views them like I do.
But everyone is different and everyone has a different mindset, and mine could be wrong. I try to keep that in mind.
>>187276 I think that if you can overcome your fear of death to save other people, it's probably selfless.
Being dead is clearly a worse outcome than being upset to most people, probably. Dying for someone else is probably the most selfless thing a person can do.

>>187266 offcolor socks at a service is always super stand out they looked black and now they shine in every light brown
>>187279 It is a meaningless distinction since the actions get judged but not the feelings behind them. But I feel like the idea that you are not thinking about yourself sort of false, you want to do something because you feel the need to to it *to do it and you act on your desire to fufil that need. >>187278 I don't think honestly anyone will care about your socks.
I won't judge you, but it's weird, and that would interest me.
I saw this girl yesterday wearing open-toe high heels, and the heels looked nice, but I noticed that her feet were like, super dirty. And that's interesting because why would you wear those shoes if your feet are dirty? Maybe her feet got dirty independently of the heels after she put them on? Maybe she just doesn't care.
It's out of the ordinary so it's kind of interesting.
I don't wear shoes that reveal skin. It makes me feel naked! I always wear long sleeves too or a coat!
Socks are just socks, I cover my feet and I'm fine with any pairing. some of them have holes in them and my toe pokes out but that is hidden by my shoe! >>187285 >revealing your legs for free.

>>187291 Things like how you sit, how you talk, are things that determine power differentials in relationships. People who stretch out when sitting without taking up too much space are viewed as more confident and being seen as confident causes most people to give you more of the power differential. Confidence is probably the most important factor.

Yeah there is a bit of a case there since the US literally violently tore itself apart from Britain, and you've got states toying with that idea today It's still pretty insane to have a founding document that can be interpreted to justify revolution in the country it was part of founding to begin with

>>187837 is not much different elsewhere. that with systems with more parties will defend their coalitions instead.
Party affiliation is big here, too, but people swap around all the time Labour obviously held power for a really long time, but they also had to work with other parties a lot to get anything done And mostly, "party affiliation" is just a general left or right thing, people will jump all the time unless they're directly in the party as like a carreer
Алице
>>187839 yeah that is what i was thinking. even if parties can change the feeling you have to defend the "right" or "left" even when they're wrong makes people end up hating politics all more.
The thing is, though, that it means a public change on even a single issue can end with that single issue being addressed Because there's shades of Gray Why on god's green earth did I capitalize Gray, but not god?
In the US, the left, as it were, has been trying to get gay marriage through, with HUGE support in the population, but it took the supreme fucking court LEGISLATING to actually make it happen because there's two parties, and unless there's a huge package of issues that need addressing, nothing will make them budge They have the people in a fucking vice grip anyway, what the hell do they care?
『sk』
That said, political discussion isn't that open here It's mostly just shown in polls and on internet forums or newspaper comment fields Very rarely will anyone above my age range even talk about politics in public And when they do, one party is usually just being neutral to avoid conflict, cause Norwegians are an insanely conflict-averse people
I figure this kind of conclusively puts them in the normie category

It's a stupid piece of trivia anyway Anyone can go "hey I just defined this one word to mean several things, and literally nobody uses it as a verb outside this one phrase, but here goes 'Dank Dank Dank dank Dank dank dank" It's a phrase because I arbitrarily defined Dank to mean like 15 different things just now
FormerRei@mobile
>>187912 There's a similar thing in Chinese. It wasn't one guy who defined it though.
>>187915 It's not even trivial, it's just fucking dumb because NEVER IN ANYONE'S LIFE (currently drawing breath upon this earth anyway) has "buffalo" been used as a verb outside of or without reference to that one single fucking phrase
月
i think that describes something being trivial pretty well
『sk』
It's asinine Trivial is of low importance
『sk』
Which I mean, it is, but that's not what I was saying
>>187919 trivial to me means it has no purpose outside of novelty especially in reference to trivial solutions in math it just doesn't matter it's an empty datapoint that doesn't connect to anything and that's why i hate trivia and factoids too. i don't really care about some sensationalized fact that doesn't actually relate to anything
>>187924 i meant more like solutions that are homomorphisms of already established solutions. applying the transformation to make it into a known solution makes the solution itself trivial
Stuff like how they put a mechanism in the flag they planted on the moon to make it sway That's trivia, it's completely worthless information you'll never use for anything in your entire life other than going "look, flat earther this is why" But it's interesting

http://www.ioccc.org/1994/smr.hint It won best abuse of rules that year.
But really my main problem with the buffalo thing is that it's just fucking made up I refuse to believe anyone has actually used buffalo as an adjective Verb I can buy
Especially this contest. It is considered to be the highest honor to have rules made or changed because of you. Forgot the llink http://www.ioccc.org/1994/smr.c
For example, if you were tasked with making a program that can navigate a maze, and instead of making something that learns you just figured out what kind of maze is most likely to show up based on previous mazes, and programmed something to solve just that, or slight variations, I think that makes you like, not just the winner if you win, but also you should get a spot in the hall of fame

Carpet floors are extremely common in the US. The only places without it in my house are the kitchen and bathrooms.
FormerRei@mobile
Wall to wall carpeting is something I dislike. They're a pain to clean, get dirty really easily. And often have a faint smell that bothers me. I'm glad my current place doesn't have any. Although we shoukd probably put stuff on the bottom of some of our furnitute so we don't scratch the wood floors.
>>187994 Well we live in arctic our houses are built for the weather so... it does baffle us even when trvelling as near as "south coast of baltic sea" that houses are suddenly practically made of carton
>>188001 Yeah, but say my last place had inner walls made of solid bricks had fun trying to drill shit into that... this place has practically paper walls, though since it is early 00s mass-cheap building
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Drywall is used for the inside walls of most American houses Plaster is used for the inside walls of houses of well-off americans
Plaster is way better than drywall most of the time but it's very expensive

I wish my next place has proper walls sound proofing is a nice feature to have

What I really want is concrete walls. I designed a concrete (and other things) based modular construction platform like a ddecade ago. And I'll probably never get it made (might get it patented), but I still think about it a lot.
>>188013 Well the place had its faults, like drilling holes the brickwalls were covered with some weird coating material and then anyhow drilling holes in bricks is also a bad idea so... no attaching shit to walls nada none impossibiru
>>188023 No the brick was the type that would just brittle away and besides, you'd still have like 5cm hole in that coating material before you even hit the brick
Which is why I always had books lying around, since I couldn't attach my wall attachable bookshelves there >>188027 and then add to that the good idea of buying about 50 new books

Lots of dictators don't actually believe half of what they say, that's true But I don't think that's the case for Hitler because that motherfucker was consistent from start to the bitter end on a LOT of what he's know for

In fact, most dictators don't believe any or at least very little of what they say publicly Because most dictatorships just want more and more power for themselves and that's their motivation from the start Hitler didn't even lead the Nazi party until a fairly long time into his involvement, he didn't even go to the first meeting by his own choice, he was ASSIGNED to go there
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>188047 not at least by the time they have grasped power
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>188047 umm by 1923 he was the leader of the party
Wasn't there a long time of involvement where some other fuckers were running it and just royally fucking up the whole "gaining support" part? Maybe my history's shoddy here
Well he didn't really get to use his influence untill AFTER his release from prison post his unsuccesful coup attempt in 1923 but he technically was the leader or infulential enough to be the leader of the party in 1923 cuase why else would have he tried to seize power?
Banning a political party sounds weird as shit anyway, how do you even do that in legalese? You can't just ban them by name Do you pick certain tenets of their ideology that they're not allowed to keep? >>188057 No I mean the very practice of it
Nazi parties are banned here too, but what does that fucking MEAN?

In the video, Higgins had used the atrocities in the concentration camp as an example of why the U.S. military "must be invincible."

>>188069 Anyhow the ironic part here is that Soini had predicted that the Halla-aho and his supporters would eventually split away but they never had predicted that they'd grow big enough to clai mthe party and they had to split off so now there will mos tlikely be a good long court case about who OWNS the party assets
>>188072 It does that here for illegal u-turns although u-turns are often legal too one time my GPS told me to make a u-turn by driving across a median through a metal guard
Regrettably it no longer exists It is in a city about 120klicks north of here called Lahti it has real weird road planning practical rule is "if you want to turn right/left, you aren't allowed" also they hav elike 20x the amount of traffic lights a city of that size needs. and they are always timed like >when the lights you are waiting on are red, the next one is green >and when your lights turn greend the next is red anad then there are moments when on a X crossing RED FOR EVERYONE and I mean everyone even pedestrians
>>188086 pic of the crossing red for everyone can happen for about 15-30 seconds how who knows also there is never like >guys coming from left can go straight and turn right while at the same time guys coming from right can go straight and turnright nope only one of those happens at one time

he has been basically on trial since 2016 and he was arrested for this crime in 2015

if it does, people will not use it for what I meant They'll use it for generic stuff rather than the specific thing I meant, which is his tendency not to finalize his sentences before speaking so you end up lik "So you know, but also I think that, the thing is most rich people don't like me very much, I'm not a popular guy with them" That thing he does where he changes the entire sentence mid-sentence because he feels he needs to explain what he's about to say, preface it with other information, and then he just forgets what he was initially going to say.
That's what I mean by it in this instance, but it'll be used for generic fascism, racism or borish expression
