@bobby_on_mars He is in the 99.99th percentile of surgi-cosmetically modified men on this earth, if he were not he would not have a fraction of the fame he does, you are only bloviating about 'charm and character' because he botched a surgery according to very quantifiable criteria

@BurnAlgoDown @reddit_lies You actually *can* make this shit up, and made-up shit constitutes the majority of all anecdotes on that website.

[moth @camphormoth]

@ringolos1111 @visualbasic97 Yes, you're an idiot in the cave tantalised by symbols (basic buzzwords) whose actual meaning you're somehow unaware of lol

[moth @camphormoth]

@ringolos1111 @visualbasic97 Seems like a bit of a word salad on your part, are the people self-identifying as former gifted kids not precisely resentful because they don't have 'nepo' jobs?

@premortal @dimitripilled Moby Dick was written less than 200 years ago, and the democraticisation of the television is not even a century old. Are you a middle schooler or something?

[moth @camphormoth]

@premortal @dimitripilled Besides the fact both of you are projecting your illiteracy on 'the masses' (if you weren't illiterate you would perceive more salient, i.e. contemporary and perennial qualities in 'written artefacts predating the 19th century' than 'weirdness'), you're incredibly clumsy

[moth @camphormoth]

This take doesn't 'enter' the discourse because it is to the discourse what low level human pathogens are to an inner city bus stop, i.e. discharged by innumerable miserable people daily. Ultimately its truth value 1) doesn't matter 2) is up to you

[j.h. @user_________01]

Something we've been forced to forget is that people probably fall in love one (1) time, and everything after pales in comparison
I think this truth is too painful for it to even enter the discourse

@Meehaul @maycontainnuts7 @teortaxesTex @Jebus HK's economy was basically the 90s and 00s Chinese economy (low cost manufacturing) + skimming entrepôt margins from Chinese exporters + wealth management for capital flight. Definitionally this model cannot work for the 'world'

[moth @camphormoth]

#NIMBY does not go far enough they need to prohibit the use of all industrial machines that produce noise exceeding a given dB threshold to encourage R&D in tasteful silent machines and a wholesome fatalism in the proprietors of structurally degrading homes

@MelegReizinger @josefstoolin By your 'standards' (thinly veiled ideological resentment and insecurity wrt geostrategy and demographics, as you and your ilk are prone to), Korea is a hilariously young country (incorporated 1948), Japan (159), India (1947), etc…

[moth @camphormoth]

@aniiTweets I don't care what the person you're tweeting about says, the tweet of yours I'm replying to contains two ridiculous lies (that ancient Chinese cities are no longer populated, and that the continuity of the Chinese language can be dismissed through an analogy to Latin-Cuneiform)

[moth @camphormoth]

@sumguy265 @aniiTweets @Mariusj001 A literate Sinophone can read the aforesaid 2,000 y/o steles without any education in classical Chinese, I'm pretty sure a literate Italophone wouldn't be able to read Virgil or Augustine on the spot (though it would of course only take them a few weeks of study)

[moth @camphormoth]

@sumguy265 @aniiTweets @Mariusj001 I see your angle btw. All I have to say is you can't have your cake and both eat it, just take pride in the fact the Qur'an is legible to modern Mesopotamians, inter-epochal legibility of written artefacts is one of the few valid metrics of civilisational continuity

[moth @camphormoth]

@sumguy265 @aniiTweets @Mariusj001 Do you think these 'differences' exist ex nihilo like the laws of physics lol? Linguistic standardisation comes with top-down persistent structures of state, which is effectively the claim of the person op is quotetweeting

[moth @camphormoth]

@aniiTweets @Mariusj001 & literal early modernity in the case of Germanics. Greeks arguably form an exception in being able to read Koine. All of this would be trivially obvious if you weren't an ideologically driven rancorous pseud, hope this helps

[moth @camphormoth]

@aniiTweets @Mariusj001 Among Europeans no one would be able to understand Latin without a deliberate study of that language (incl. Romance speakers), the oldest written cultural artefacts they can directly parse date from anywhere between the early-middle mediaeval era (in the case of Southern Euros)

[moth @camphormoth]

@kumkwer The former is far less 'unsubstantiated' than the latter insofar as modern rapist-murders tend to have long histories of snuff porn consumption, it's a valid hypothesis that it's at least a proximate cause. Equating the two is fucking retarded

[moth @camphormoth]

@king_of_games34 These are some extraordinary euphemisms. There are no 'attention span' requirements for mmos, you just need to be prone to addiction and escapism, ditto for the 'social interaction' which is just a substitute for real-world socialisation. I say this having 8k hrs on an mmo
