Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn’t always preserve the ‘original’ (hierarchical) structure

Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I’m not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I’d be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction

I thought I read the title wrong. Good for them

Same here. I used to shave my head and face but recently I went through a period of over-work and didn’t have time to shave. Everyone told me I looked better with hair and beard, including the wife. So hair and beard it is then

Maybe the random community would be appropriate too

Here the man explained his motives:

Kbin interacts with Lemmy and seems to me to contain reasonable people willing to have respectful discussions

Since I seem to be the only one not getting this, I’m gonna ask: Can someone explain?

I still listen to mp3 and flacs (younger folks who still know what that means think I’m crazy) so this is actually really cool. Might try it soon

I agree, it’s one of the things I dislike about the fediverse (I’m on Kbin)

This ^^

It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.

The cartoon that most definitely influenced my life. R.i.P Toriyama

Yes I was intrigued by the topic and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video and its content. Thanks for sharing OP!

The synth and the LSD. I’ll dilute the LSD in water, give it to a while crowd and jam on the synth, becoming the either a music legend, a messiah, or both

I appreciate when people take the effort to create a meme doing some image manipulation plus funny text. Giving prompts to an AI and posting it is the absolute decadence of meme culture. I hate it

How many souls has these episode crushed omg

I’ve read all the biographies of Zappa I have found. It’s in one of those, but can’t remember which. It was an unofficial (not authorized) one

If only he hadn’t thrown a bottle of beer over Zappa’s daughter and they hadn’t fought about it, we would have had so many amazing collaborationa
