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

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 read somewhere that Galileo really struggled convincing his patrons go finance such experiments. Science wasn’t concerned with fundamental questions about how the world works until very recently

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

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

Yeah I agree. I guess it’s up to us to change that. But it takes courage to do so

Talen veranderen. Dat is normaal, en gebeurt het door invloed van andere talen. Zo is Latijn verandert tot Spaans, Italiaans, etc.
Ik ben nu Nederlander geworden door naturalisatie en in herken wat je zegt niet. Niet alle brieven van de Gemeente zijn in het Engels beschikbaar. Als je integreren wilt, moet je sowieso Nederlands kunnen praten. Bijvoorbeeld om een betrokken ouder te zijn als je kinderen in school heeft. Om te kunnen praten met de mensen van de winkel of de markt, om met je buren dingen te kunnen afspreken, etc. Volgens mij ben je geïrriteerd door het Engels, en je ziet Engels overal, maar dat is wat mij betreft een biased overzicht.

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

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

The next genius was Frank Zappa obviously

Its funny because it’s true

The end was hilarious. Didn’t see it coming

Thanks!
