>>224248 that's not at all strange really i can give you some tips on how to avoid doing that if ya wan make sentences as short as you need them don't bother with "because" and then merging all your sentence just pump out an idea and then another idea that way, you can start with "that way, X happens" rather than already having a long sentence and then attaching a "because" that you then have to think over the flow of the sentence

>>224252 i don't think it's a problem it's definitely not a bad linguistic habit it's not adding tot // to the sentence but it's maintaining channel integrity and establishing clarity which actually means you're very cognizant of those needs, even if you're not conscious of it
I'm going to cut down on it a little bit. That one sentence was like 50% "you know".

>>224255 just don't do it on anything being tape recorded and it's fine! the human ears don't really notice things like that anyway it swoops right through under the radar the brain just sequences it as a way to prepare for a disjointed thought and it does it pretty smoothly it's like a little break piece between compound thoughts so it can say "Okay here's piece one, here's piece two, here's piece three" and even if there's no real sentence structure to piece them together, the brain gets the gist
>>224260 Thank you for the encouragement. I'm still going to work on it some! I want to be a well spoken person and not a valley girl sounding person. I thought I was fairly free from vocal tics like that until I caught myself today.
>>224264 that's not what a vocal tic is that's something totally different i'll tell you though, i do post-prod transcripts just for high profile interviews and stuff, and for things like that they request that every stutter and filler word is included so that the editor knows where they're all at and edits them all out senators, former presidents, news anchors, judges, lawyers, doctors, pastors, rabbis just about everyone i've come into contact with uses it a couple times per sentence for longer sentences and compound sentences it's not valley girl it's normal doctors from uptown boston that are super wealthy do a lot of that too, the real masculine male bawston type

maybe rika was more concerned that she was reusing the same phrase in succession miz it up nobody is the wiser

it's a farming game i guess you have your ranch and you have corrals for the slimes and you grow crops for them and raise chickens for them and you collect their slime dropping and ship them back to earth for credits to spend on upgrades and stuff it's a really simple and easy game but it's fun and cute
>>224476 Did you have slimes on the farm where you lived?
bangu
>>224476 There's like a ranch with different unlockable areas and each area has like 4-5 plots where you can but gardens or corrals or chicken coops or storage silos or ponds or INCINERATORS
bangu
there's like 10ish slimes i can't remember wait uhhh like 14 maybe something like that and you can cross-breed the slimes into LARGOS but if your largos ingest a plort of a third breed, you get TARR which happens in the wild quite a bit if you go in expecting deep intricate gameplay you won't like it
>>224478 Oh, I see. Is it mostly about exploration? Or breeding?
bangu
i'd say it's like 40/40/20 ranching/exploring/crafting
bangu
the crafting is later on you unlock this slime lab where you craft things like a basketball hoop to launch your slimes into, teleporters for easy travel to areas outside the ranch, cosmetic things like bushes, and gathering robots that gather crafting mats but i honestly have completely skipped it so far this playthrough i just barely got to the final zone today but if you rush your way there it doesn't take very long it's a very simple game

>>224815 i like parsing data it's easier to do when you can use other people as RAM through conversation to help process some of the information being parsed maybe we can try parsing together sometime
>>224828 I won't argue with that, but I'm not sure that's what the discussion is about.
Most language isn't changed due to willful attempts at changing it. It just evolves over time. There's also the problem of education: people don't learn the words they want to use, and so they use words they already know to account for that.
sk
Who's even trying to change language other than the people arguing biological sex isn't a thing?
For example, it's not politically correct to use the word "retard".
To accomodate // accommodate for that, the word retarded was exchanged for intellectually disabled. Despite this, the word retard is still discouraged. Here, we see a forcible changing of language as well as suppression of language.
>>224832 I think political correctness starts with a nice thought. The idea that you should be nice to people is a good one. But when the suggestion that you should be nice to people becomes a rule that must not be broken, and when people seek to punish you for breaking it, that's where I start having problems.
I don't agree that political correctness is evolution.
For example, if you gene splice a banana and a tomato, you can't call it evolution.
Political correctness doesn't naturally develop in the way the word evolution implies.
Koi-
Nah. In the case of PC, it's respect. Not word elimination. You can't really eliminate a word, you can probably change its meaning through different usage, but you're not going to eliminate it nor its history. Eliminating the word wouldn't even do anything positive.
sk
>>224837 Yeah, but that's not changing the meaning of the word Which is what I assumed you meant to begin with
>>224837 words (and other concepts) can really only be cleansed out by the counterculture the receptive common culture can't really do that by virtue of being the reception of governance it's not even necessarily different people just a different space and place i think political correctness is as fucked up as it needs to be in order to keep that balance if it wasn't so bland then it wouldn't be reliably received and then locally processed
the words and messages don't go away but they're recycled a new generation and new things redefine all that crap pervert, homo, otaku, introvert, jobless, homeless all these kind of words are still active and have totally been readjusted to the environment there's a lot of lag there and it happens to kind of coincide with our generational gap a lot of things do
I would argue that PC is about respect theoretically.
Theoretically, we should avoid certain words with bad histories and contexts that are injurious to others out of respect. However, the majority of people that push the concept of PC aren't doing it out of respect, they're generally virtue signaling. Maybe majority isn't the right word here because I don't know that for sure, but in generally, liberals that push it are virtue signaling - especially the Democratic party.
Maria
how can PC eliminate a word. If you stop using a word, it doesn't cease to exist. It still holds power because otherwise we wouldn't not use it
>>224845 They're pretending to care in order to get votes. They don't actually respect the people they're demanding be respected. They don't care, but looking like they care matters to them. It's just virtue signaling.
Hillary Clinton or any generic Democrat will tell you that you need to respect black people but still say nigger with a hard r behind closed doors. They're just virtue signaling.
Anno
>>224845 It's the philosophy behind "all politicians can't be trusted". Or that philosophy is behind it. It makes it easier to not get invested when you just dismiss everything a politician says as virtue signalling.
sk
And for that matter, pc is pushed by the voters, not the politicians Politicians don't give a fuck about appearing in a way the voters don't give a fuck about
Maria
>>224847 how do you know they don't care or what Hillary says behind closed doors
>>224847 Ohhh, you're branching away from the context of language and into things like identity. I get you now. ... Oh. lol OR MAYBE YOU'RE NOT but I understand you in general.
>>224850 Because Hillary and other Dem's use of derogatory slang and hate speech was found in the DNC leaks.
>>224851 It's a slight tangent. My point is that you're right about what PC should be, but unfortunately, it's generally used for control rather than to raise a party to a level equal to others.
sk
I'd be surprised if you could find any one position Hillary has been consistent on in her political career other than "war crimes are ok when the US is the criminal"
>>224840 It's not about respect. Like I said, language control is thought control. If you tell people they can't say something, it's not about respect. It's about placing limits on them. It doesn't change their hearts. Inside they can still be thinking horrible things.
Though eventually, once the word is gone, people will not be able to think these things to have those thoughts.
>>224854 It is respect. Language in itself is control. Language holds keys to respectfulness. Using it in such ways exude respectfulness. Using it in other ways gives off a lack of respect. It's not about the destruction of words. Even if you destroy a word somehow, you can just make a new word. Or hijack an old one to convey the same meaning. There is little difference in maintaining the status quo and changing it when it comes to its effect on "thought control" because there is a perceived problem that exists. And on either side, "control" is attempted.
>>224854 The principle behind it is that language is used to transmit memes to others which spread hate. By limiting the spread of those memes through quarantine, you eliminate the hateful thoughts. That's the general reasoning behind PC as thought control to eliminate disrespect.

It used to be that accents were controlled, people would try to get rid of their accents because they be associated to being poor or lower class. I think people just anything to discriminate and deal with people what words they use, what accent they hav e, what clothes they wear. etc
>>224858 Not all of it. And even so, what is internal respect if it can't be expressed outwardly? If a person can't express respect then how can they be respectful? What would the value of respect even be? In any case, respect is often delivered through words.
>>224863 I think that people go too far in policing it, yeah.
Instead of slashing someone's tires or getting them fired, I think it'd be better if people just stopped talking to that person. Unfortunately, that isn't enough for most people that want to militantly police this stuff because there will always still be a group to associate with the person you think is being disrespectful.
Anno
That solution doesn't always work anyway. In many situations, you just cant stop talking to someone. You probably have a responsibility to communicate with them because of societal or work-related obligations.
Some normies are so fucked up about being abusive about using certain words and holding certain beliefs. Its not even a debate or exchange it is outright denial of the other view and being abusive with the idea that being abusive is the right of the moral high ground. Normies are weirdos
>>224866 This is one of my other problems with political correctness. Respect is internal. Whether you respect someone or not is something entirely in your mind. Political correctness isn't about increasing the amount of respect in the world, it's about forcing everyone to act in a way that the majority of people see as respectful. I feel that it's superficial. It also diminshes the value of respect because you can no longer distinguish the legitimate from those just going through the paces.
>>224870 You know why I don't believe this at all? Because being PC isn't a global requirement. PC has provided a language for respect. And you can "opt" to use it. If you don't, well, you aren't.

I have never really saw PC as being respectful. I know how to speak if I want to be respectful I can even use words that would considering unPC and still be respectful. I don't think the two ideas are the same, PC feels politicialized
>>224871 We both know what is behind that "well". If you don't conform to some degree, you get smashed up on the rocks. If someone has something un-PC to say to you, it's always in a hushed tone behind closed doors.
I believe that the right to offend is very important. After all, women can vote because some ladies offended the crap out of everyone by suggesting the ridiculous idea of letting women vote.
>>224888 I don't disagree with what you said necessarily, but I feel like it's a little inaccurate somehow. I said "hmm" expecting to be able to put that feeling into words as I sat here with a post open but I ended up not being able to.
Well over here PC is mostly talked about in a political context. >>224890 It could be that the freedom to call someone a cunt and the freedom to propose the idea that women should be equal aren't quite the same level.

Yes, women did things that many considered offensive, but they were doing it in response to offensive behavior and were responded to with offensive behavior (albeit quite disproportionate, using bombs and such).
>>224898 That's only true because there is no such thing as an idea someone will not take offense to.

We can't operationalize every word. Even if we tried, people would disagree and we wouldn't get anywhere. Words are malleable. Communication is malleable.

I'm actually split between accelerationism and being a decent person so I don't fucking know dude
You can't be split between accelerationism and being a decent person. If you're stuck between them, then you've already lost your chance at being a decent person. A decent person wouldn't doom tons of people just to make political change happen faster.

okay it's shitty, yeah i think a lot of people agree, but we have to get to the next step
sk
>>224942 Huh? You're fucking over the same amount anyway, all you change is location and timescale
For example, keeping status quo in the recent election (Hillary) would have meant people continue to have their health care. The accelerationist option (Trump) means that people may lose their health care.
The number of people in these two options being fucked over is different as is the scale at which their life is fucked over.

By keeping the status quo, you are willfully extending the time of suffering in exchange for it being a little less awful temporarily
>>224947 Oh, I see. I was under the impression that decent people cared about the wellbeing of other people.
If the revolution is more important than the workers, then by all means, go ahead and accelerate it. But if you care about the workers, don't tell me you agree with accelerationism.

You can't be good by doing evil. But you can inspire people to be good by creating calamity. It's that "threshold for goodness". And it's AWFUL. But people are selfish. That's part of the romance of being a villain. Sure, yes, you're up to no good. You probably have come to terms of evilness. But through the virtue of everyone else struggling against you, they may give birth to the good that you wish to see in the world even if it means you don't partake in it. Without your being evil, they may have never even cared to do good.
Basically, you can't tell me you're a decent person if you're willing to put into action a plan that will passively kill people at an extremely accelerated rate.
If you consider accelerationism viable, then you've already lost your chance to tell me you're a decent person. A decent person would never consider it on the table.
>>224965 Well, accelerationism affects every nation disproportionately. By accelerating things in one nation, you slow them down in others. e.g. as America becomes less dominant politically, China has become more capitalist and has taken the place of America Accelerationism isn't viable for one nation, and if you include all nations, it absolutely isn't viable.

>>224988 Oh yeah, I forgot you are in support of going full retard and "redistributing" the wealth.
>>224995 I think it's a bit more fundamental than that. Whether by the hand of nature or the hand of God, people were sculpted with the concept of scarcity in their minds and souls. People wouldn't really know how to act without it, scarcity is an innate feature of the world we're made to live in.
>>224992 I'm more a "remove wealth" person but yeah I'm fully willing to support seizing housing from private people if there are people without housing, and those home owners have more than they need Today.
>>224999 I don't disagree, but we could easily eliminate scarcity in certain areas. There are areas where we can never eliminate scarcity so we'd still have it.
>>225013 oxygen, air pressure, warmth, water all kind of beat out food along with a bunch of other things that we don't think about because we're living on a platform of comfort where food is our biggest worry
sk
Yeah sure if you count not wanting to distribute it as scarcity In that sense, capitalism can never be post scarcity in any sense
>>225013 And, as I stated, people without scarcity don't know what to do. Half of people are morbidly obese and the other half are skeleton people. People don't know how to operate without scarcity.
>>225019 I don't know if I'd call having the ability to engorge yourself problematic though. People can just as easily... not become obese, barring various issues. And even in scarcity, you can also become obese or even worse.
>>225022 Nobody wants to become obese. Most people just don't have self-control.

This is pretty related to the conversation It's about universal basic income https://qz.com/931291/dick-cheney-and-donald-rumsfeld-ran-a-universal-basic-income-experiment-for-president-richard-nixon/
>>225026 Many poor people become obese due to the foods that are available and the poor health education they've recieved. I'd argue education is more a factor than self-control.
There's also a lot of misinformation about dieting out there and excercise is generally discouraged in America these days.
Yeah, pretty much all of that. People who don't have to worry about food scarcity are often not obese. If you could pick the best things, you'd have the best things.

FormerRei@mobile
>>225031 Did you actually read the article or are you just responding to my mention of UBI?
>>225032 True, but I think most people can't afford to stress eat excessively. They don't have the education necessary to make good choices with their meals, either. There's also the problem with growth hormones in the food which can cause a lot of problems for developing young people.
I think that education is the biggest factor, though.
Did you know that 1/6 Americans apparently go without food due to poverty more than twice a week? It's really crazy out there. You can't really win unless you were lucky enough to get a good education.

>>225046 at one point i had like two dollars and 20 cents in food stamps and hadnt eaten in almost four days like maybe a couple slices of expired bread i had to // i went to aldi to try to find something to buy and decided a can of fuckin dog food was the best food to cost ratio i stole a couple cans later on too
>>225044 The problem with the study is that they were studying the wrong people. They thought that UBI would make people lazy and work less. They didn't realize that people actually like having money and they continued to work despite subsidies.
But what the real issue here isn't the workers being lazy. It's capitalists being greedy. When you know that everyone in the neighborhood has $1500 extra dollars worth of spending money, what keeps you from charging them a little more in rent? That's the joke about UBI. It's not the people getting the money. It's the people who know that the money is in their pockets.
>>225049 Heard of him, yeah, but you could tell me Stefan mollyneux supports it and I don't see what difference it makes to the inherent problem of trying to fix capitalism with capitalism
FormerRei@mobile
>>225052 Donald Rumsfeld is an almost perfect example of every thing you hate about capitalism. Oh yeah I keep forgetting capitalism is non negotiable for you. Do you think a partial UBI would work in a socialist nation?
On many Indian Reservations, the abundance of welfare has bred an environment in which people are more concerned about reproducing in order to get more welfare than they are about working.
Things can go either way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The problem with UBI is that it makes people more reliant on the government. People who need the government to put food in their mouths are less likely to resist tyranny.
sk
>>225053 It is because it is not capable of sustaining itself If capitalism ceased to leave poverty in its wake, the capitalists would be forced to restart that in order to begin profiting again It's not a side effect, it's the method by which profit exists to begin with
>>225055 Depends on the reservation. On many of them, people haven't been working for a long time and rely entirely on government-provided welfare. Many reservations don't even have job opportunities.
There are a lot of different ways things can go.

The argument against is it that half-assed psuedo communism is terrible, and real communism isn't attainable. Therefore, there's no point in considering them as complete systems.
However, capitalism is equally as bad as pseudo-communism for the majority of people in some ways. Capitalism kills fewer people, so it's technically better than pseudo-communism in my eyes, but both systems are terrible and I'd prefer to have neither.
