But now I'm getting the feeling that you actually think that you're on my level. From the day I was born, I was destined for success, you little shit. I was brought into this world by a software engineer and and a prominent actuary, both of Norwegian descent. From the moment that the fucking curtains were raised, I was set to dominate the STEM fields. And because I had guardians that actually cared about me, I flourished. Pretty soon, I was placed into a special school of correspondence, specifically I.M Gelfand's school for gifted children in New England. I not only reached my parents' expectations, but I passed them with flying colors. I had raw talent. I was fucking better. I was surrounded by 6th graders, many from Hong Kong, whom were smarter than half the posters in this fucking thread. And now, where am I?
In MIT, getting my double BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics, with a Stanford-Binet tested IQ of 147 at age 17.
Get this through your head: you are nothing. I am worth more than your entire goddamn family. I'm smarter than you, better looking than you, taller than you, wealthier than you, and more employable than you. While you type out another post to get cheap laughs, I'll be simultaneously working with the brightest minds in the world and fornicating with my beautiful girlfriend. It gets on my nerves when people pretend to be better than me.

ζ
as a cyclogist do you have much insight about the procedures of self-awareness and differentiation from the environment
Kirara π
as in gaining self-awareness and realizing one is apart from the environment? for humans or just in general?
ζ
in general and as far removed from the humanized context as possible i've been flooded with this thread of perception all night long about how young and some animals take a lot of time to gain awareness that their surrounding environments and the things they see and hear aren't part of themselves there's a constant feeling of being ripped from a synced setting with me and it's been pressing a lot of uncontrollable thoughts i think about consciousness an awful lot, and i've been thinking a lot about the stages of differentiation from self and environment in a procedural way things which were vehicles and tools of the environment aren't far distinguished from a sense of self, even after self-awareness is realized i'm thinking a lot that the body is just another such environmental tool that is a little too locked in to differentiate ourselves from
ζ
the body being emergent to consciousness is not particularly different than the habitats of our early ancestors giving rise to their development emergently, and there's probably a long period before that differentiation could even occur since it was a mandatory shell the process of self-awareness, and more importantly self-recognition in the animals which are not domesticated or rescues and how significantly it changes their interactions with the environment it's sharpening the acuity of the consciousness to probe further and differentiate itself a step further i feel like we're just still in a stasis of that same flavor with our recognition of body as self
>>540415 The fuck is a hotep? Is that the "we wuz kangs" group?
Kirara π
>>540418 >>540419 unfortunately a lot of the existing lit on consciousness conflates self/identity with self-awareness and afaik there aren't really any particularly good descriptions of the emergence of self-awareness, especially outside of humans - people still refuse to admit that many animals show self-awareness and differentiation from their environment at times which limits what's out there i dont really have a lot of insight into te emergence of it myself, either, most of what ive been concerned with is the nature of self-awareness and how it contributes to the development of the self, and also how brain development plays a role ive been thinking a lot about it in animals recently but really just more the nature than the emergence of it stuff like how a cat might see itself and how that sense of identity expands itself, how it influences the way they interact with the environment, etc, but never really about emergence or anything i think there are different levels of self-awareness and identity that are limited by brain function but when i see the great variations in self-awareness and identity in humans, it makes me think that viewing it as levelled is probably inaccurate and brain function or complexity may play less of a role than i used to think i'm thinking lately that there must be some kind of dissonance between the way the world should work and the way the world does work that might provide the start of that development of self-awareness
i said i haven't thought about it much but i guess i have sorry, brain's still jumbled up
Kirara π
>>540421 uhh kind of they're like right wing conspiracy theorists and black supremacists
ζ
thanks, you bring up a lot of good points i've been thinking a lot about consciousness as a mapping function and the role self-awareness and that level of sense of self plays in the reflective manner of mapping the "interior" environment, interior referring to what's not yet differentiated from self i imagine the early animals felt territory and immediate controllable, integrated environments as just as much of self as their own bodies, the same as babies do in a sense i think in mapping the interior you procedurally and generationally start to adjust and change the environments in such ways that it's more immediately obvious that the exterior isn't you i think there's a lot of externally-stored knowledge in our dynamic environments and that we're really overplaying our brain's role a lot, though the brain's capability to function at the environment's demands and still have the extra processing space to parse such complex information is at the crux of what i'm assuming makes any of it possible
i appreciate the response and know it's prolly eating up a lot of your time but you've given me a second point of data to balance out my own since i'm really inclined to disregard my own thoughts sometimes as neurotic rambling i think there's a pretty strong connection here to emergent systems and surrogation that i'd like to explore deeper and write about i'll probably try doing that, but i needed a bit of a soundboard first you don't gotta commit another long, time-consuming post, i already appreciate the help

>>540424 it would be interesting to look at the difference in self-awareness between animals which actively engineer their environment and animals that don't actively might not be the right word, but I'm thinking of for example beavers constructing dams is a different level /// a deeper level of participation in the environment compared to, say, a deer if they see the external environment as an extension of themselves, i would expect to see differences based on depth of participation in the environment
>>540427 like you said, levels of self-awareness or a spectrum, maybe consider the deer who has been born and raised in a more natural woodland environment and the height of its priorities and learning functions were around how to posture against other male deer and threats that posturing is still a way of extending yourself upon the environment and exhibiting a means of control, and if not necessary for control, it stll develops those senses for the exchange of information, which is the crux of imo all social interaction it's not physically blockading the environment like a beaver but informatically it's still got very deep participation in it but the urban deer is a little different and not using those skills on that organic boundary where it's immersed and synced it's using anything it has as tools out of fear of being in an environment where it doesn't know the threats or what they're capable of because its daddy buck taught him how to be stern with male deers based on what he knew, not with diesel trucks the self awareness has to be apparent at that point because, just like with babies in that early phase, they encounter environments which they cannot control and it shakes that sense of connection

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>540531 yeah but humans aren't carnivores, we are omnivores at this point sure at some point in the past our diet had much much more meat and that most likely kicked our large brain evolution, but by the time we started to farm, our diet changed to much more grain, basically plant based nutrients ofc growing children need plenty of protein and calcium to get big and healthy, but as we know now a much more about nutrients and shit, we can fully feed ourselves without actually ever eating meat

>>540618 they used to be better but they've really gone downhill
ζ
the first red i ever got from them was so incredible and this stuff now is such crap i thought maybe i just developed tolerance but i think they, yeah, dropped their standards a lot never got itchy on the other batch either
Kirara π
the white i got from them was completely ineffective i didn't get any effects whatsoever not even physiological
FormerRei@mobile
Oh shit this flight is almost three hours long. I haven't been on a flight that long in a really long time.
ζ
that doesnt seem like a long flight to me i'm surprised if i have a flight shorter than that
ζ
>>540621 startin to wonder if i should try one of the vendors we originally looked at and thought "whoa why is it so expensive" maybe there's a reason these other vendors are cheap
FormerRei@mobile
>>540623 I usually have a two hour flight from chicago to atlanta then Err 1.5 hour flight then a one hour flight to florida.
Kirara π
>>540624 the breezy trees blends are really good and they have decent deals
>>540627 the yellow suwa was really good but man it felt dirty or something after reading about yellow i kind of can understand why my head hurt in a weird kind of way and so did my bones
i just want some good red for pain this red borneo is so jank like it does a generic sort of job but it's nothing like the earlier batch
ζ
is it their specialtea blends? a little lost here honestly they got valerian root i almost wanna buy some even though i've already got four bottles
Kirara π
yeah specialtea blends

Tiredness has arrived. Unfortunately I'm not yet tired enough to sleep.
ζ
sucks that you're having such trouble lately ive just been pushing myself super hard so that any break i get goes right into sleeping since i'm always way behind that's not really a solution though im not getting enough
Anno
We got a new water pitcher and it's got enough pre-filter storage that filling it up to the max fill line is enough water to fill the our kettle. This is really nice for meeee.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
why not just fill the kettle from the tap?
Anno
Kettles last longer without cleaning if you use filtered water with them. Honestly the water around here's pretty good and probably not a big issue. But neither is filling up a pitcher. Plus it helps keep the water in the pitcher fresh.
Well the main issue with kettles is lime and you can't filter that out of the water
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
you'd need to distill the water to get the minerals out or have a real super filter

I had To come in early today to help contractors but they have their own people who would be doing my job so I'm just standing around waiting for orders. And this guy is like "yeah, once the forward group comes back, we're done." What? Shit man. I'm about to be home like 3 hours early.
Anno
Do you get paid for the hours you get called in for even if you don't end up working them?
Koi
Yes
Koi
Only for direct report though. You have to be at the job site at your start time rather than quarters And when it's done, you can go home
Anno
Well that's still pretty fortunate then.
Koi
I mean, we still get paid when we finish normal Work we Early* And we sit on call at the quarters
Anno
I forgot to turn the dryer on after putting my bed linens in it. Just chucked them all in and shut the door and went back upstairs. They must've been sitting in there for two or three hours now.
>>540805 oldschool maplestory was some real shit you try your best and after 8 hours you're actually further away from the goal than you were yesterday it's like having a fucking job
on the other hand it being like a fucking job lead the community to be more active on a per account basis and there was less content then so it was easier to find people to play with at all levels of play
it's hard to have fun in an mmo unless everyone is playing religiously in all different areas or most areas in the game that's why modern MMOs are SHIT
Anno
Or you quickly find a community to immerse yourself in or have friends you're going into the game with. Either way I've never had much draw to MMOs. Or well, I've always been interested but I can't put roots down easily in those environments.
when the only way to get reliable multiplayer in a "massively multiplayer" game is to join a small gated community it kind of defeats the purpose of having a live world at that point you might as well just have the whole game be instanced because the other players are just occasional background noise and only in the high level zones >>540810 it's kind of difficult to enjoy if you're like me and don't want to be tied down to a circlejerk in order to do anything the pick up group playstyle is fucking dead in every modern MMO i've played FFXIV is still a fun game only for the solo content though but it's also infested with the group finder plague allowing players to get a group for whatever without even talking to a single person was a mistake
>>540803 >defeat a difficult boss in a jrpg >game doesn't let you save immediately after >die to a random encounter losing progress in a jrpg drives me up the wall Or like how in Final Fantasy Three the final dungeon is about an hour long so if you lose to the final boss you lose an entire hour of gameplay
rene
ehh there's going to be an invader zim movie?
ToN
three more hours
Anno
>>540813 Feels like ten years too late, but eh, whatever.
Oh, I don't doubt it This world is hell, after all
sk
Also it's loosely based on Boots' own experience, isn't it?
Kirara π
yeah, probably
sk
I remember one post on the bird website where some anarchist was not approving of one of the managers apparently having an anarchist tat, in the movie, cause they saw it as like, a dig against the tendency But Boots was like "No actually my own manager had that tat"
>>540860 I'm almost more bothered that I'm more bothered about killing an animal because it was in a cartoon over other animals that weren't in the cartoon.
FormerRei@mobile
Last time I killed a vertebrate I felt really bad about it. I usually go out of my way to not kill insects too. I'm worried about getting really sad but I have no idea how I'll feel.
Anno
>>540833 Wow, you must be a friend who's really good at using tools to kill us all!
>>540872 Yeah but it needs to be done. If I don't someone else will.
FormerRei@mobile
Hrrrm, wifi isn't working.
Kirara π
think i was just sexually harassed by my doctor?? she was grabbing around my neck and shoulders and was like "ladies must grab you all the time" and i was like "uhhh"
it counts if a guy says something like that to a girl
FormerRei@mobile
>>540878 There are different standards forbwhat it okay to say to men and what is okay to say to women. I personally don't think that being done Oh fuck bbl
Maria
I dunno that seems weird and inappropriate for a doctor to say to a patient
Kirara π
it was weird but i can't blame her tbh im everyone's favorite idol
it's not exactly being a picky eater many people with autism have difficulties with various foods for reasons such as texture or taste they can be overstimulating or stimulating in an uncomfortable way, which can be very distressing
FormerRei@mobile
>>540929 Sure let me just eat things that make me vomit cause that doesn't defeat the purpose of eating or anything.
Is octopath any good? I checked it quickly on the youtube website, and some guy's Part 1 was 7 hours, so I'm interested I want something long to sink my time into
Oh it's not for PC? Well, screw that I guess Guess I'll find something else
Kirara π
>>540942 it's okay, im having trouble staying interested during some of the extremely long narrative portions, especially for the characters i don't particularly have an interest in the combat is good and fun, and the soundtrack is quite good
Kirara π
but yes it's definitely going to be a very very long game
>>540972 Everything I want to rewatch, I want to rewatch with her, so it's the same either way. At least watching airing things gives me something to talk about here.
I went biking for a bit earlier today, and now it's pouring rain. There was sunshine while I was out like an hour and a half ago. Weather sure can blow in fast. I'm glad I dodged the thunderstorm though.
>>541006 I've seen people with rods fishing in the rivers in the valley before, but I can't imagine how they catch anything. To call the waters down there even remotely clean would be a long, long shot. I've seen rats or minks swimming in the waters before, but never fish any larger than minnows.
I was taking some meat sauce to cook up for my pasta out of the fridge. And the container was really moist from condensation. As I was taking the lid off, walking towards the stove, the container slipped down and forwards out of my hands. Watching it fly towards the floor, all I could think was "oh this is going to be a nightmare". And then it landed perfectly bottom-side down, the only mess on the floor seeming to be what jumped up out of the container on impact. But then when I went to pick it up, it turned out the container's bottom had pretty much entirely fractured off the rest of the container. Luckily it was intact enough that carefully picking it up kept much more from spilling out. And I now still have my pasta properly prepared, but I've also totally ruined a container in the process. Still could have turned out far worse though.
Well, that, but also just the kind of presentation it has Not a lot of shows have this sort of slice-of-life but also explanation of how the world functions
theres a finn who has privded that podcast i listen to with a ton of content to read and at their fifth live show theyve showed up with and each time they speak theyre introduced alongside a different finnish cover song prjor to detailing a plan to drive everyone insane with itnernet garbage itβs fun
>>541060 he didn't want them privatized, he wanted them replaced with amazon book stores where you'd have to pay for the books (because they're book stores) lol
>>541063 no it's the replacement of an institution with a different, similar institution that provides different functions under different circumstances
Anno
>>541062 Okay I see. So it was two different people then?
>>541062 didn't his bio have him have a quite high education or something, and despite that he was pretty much quite a braindead moron I guess they do sell those
I guess that makes sense, but I'm just not seeing how libraries could be privatized at all Like conceptually it doesn't make sense, the service necessarily changes drastically
I guess you could have like, libraries where you pay out the ass for a subscription or something, like we do for TV?
They still exist and provide the same service on paper, but they operate in a very different way now, and the service is actually not the same when you get down to it
ζ
if you're homeless libraries are really important place to do your research, fill out job applications online, et cetera
>>541076 or just a place where you can spend time indoors
ζ
if i was homeless rn i'd be taking my laptop to the library every day and trying to do work from there nowhere else i can think of that you can do that without paying
I guess it's more of a tweak than a change but semantics.
Maria
you can upload images in steam chat now
Anno
They're probably trying to persuade people to use their system instead of outside apps like Discord or whatnot.
Anno
The friends window also pulls some other meta information from Steam games like DotA and Counterstrike to show what those people are playing in-game. I wonder if they'll open up the infrastructure for that to other games to display information.
Kirara π
ill never show myself as online on steam so ill never ser it haha
Kirara π
the leaders of the KKK just got doxxed
Anno
Can't hide in the spotlight.
Kirara π
some of them had passwords leaked and it's shit like passw0rd666 lmao

I guess that's a number some of them would be hard-pressed to forget.

>>541107 I haven't been on iin almost a year. >>541104 I've been waiting for that feature for a damn long time.
FormerRei@mobile
>>541108 Wait so their identities weren't already publuc knowledge? I wouod have assumed they were listed on the website.
Kirara π
a lot of them weren't now we got names, addresses, phone numbers, family members, emails
FormerRei@mobile
Is this one legit, I remember something similar happening in the past few years and it was random non kkk people.
Kirara π
it's from a group that's released legit doxxes on hate groups before so i trust them
FormerRei@mobile
Good for them.
FormerRei@mobile
Did you ever hear about the black guy who infiltrated the kkk?
FormerRei@mobile
This isn't a set up for a joke by the way.
Kirara π
yeah, there are a few movies and documentaries about it
FormerRei@mobile
Oh there's a movie about that coming out.
FormerRei@mobile
That must be pretty cool to do something great and have be immortalized in a Spike Lee movie.
>>541174 i wish i could google this and find information about the actual study and not news reposts
ζ
google has become slanted towards providing opinions instead of information
Kirara π
>>541175 real is a complicated thing to call anything but i assume some event approximating what it says occurred
ζ
i want to see more information you're already dealing with a patient population that's vulnerable they are babies who are likely to not make it already i'd like to see some information to gauge the weight of it all
Kirara π
we both know they're not going to release more information on it, it's run by or supported by Viagra

sleeping with just the uuh blanket cover is weird
Kirara π
https://nltimes.nl/2018/07/23/dutch-medical-study-halted-11-babies-die they're saying it went well though 11/93 died
ζ
the thing is, pharmaceutical companies are extremely careful about R&D their decision to pull the plug was likely based more on weighting public perception of outcomes than that the outcomes were horrendous 11 is a lot but idk what the expected would be with no treatment if it was still 11 regardless and now it looks like they're causing it then that's a different thing i'm not defending them at all but i just want to hear the real story and not media hype that's incentivized by viewership
Kirara π
says 90 in the control group and only 3 developed the lung problem that killed the 11, and of those 3, none died
Kirara π
>In the study, which ran in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands, pregnant women with poorly functioning placenta were given sildenafil, better known as Viagra. A total fo 93 women were prescribed Viagra. 17 of their babies suffered from the lung disease. Eleven of them died. A control group of 90 other women were given a placebo. Of their babies, only three were found to have the same lung disease, and none of them died.
sou, though this profile theyβre reading might be a decade old so when did that start
Kirara π
before we were born
ToN
ok, making sure sounds like after taking this personβs dob and age at the time of this thing that this was made around 2011.
it was at first the okcupid profile for a 37 year old furry but now theyve moved on to another more uhhhhh something else site >>541195 sounds about right
it's true i know what all the kids like they like rocket league and fort night im young and virile and hip just like them haha
Anno
There used to be a good, few second clip of Buscemi's "how do you do, fellow kids?" line on YouTube. All i can find is a full minute and a half bit on the full scene and then everything else is just commentary or references to it.
