2+2=5 is catching on among the "woke". Good Lord, when you're taking your direction from the villain in George Orwell's 1984, how on Earth can you claim you are on the side of the good?

o it's racist. you know what, there's a language, piraha, that doesn't have counting. they've got a word for one or a smaller quantity and a word for two or a bigger quantity, otherwise they've got no use for numbers so they don't have any. so i think a case can be made that numbers aren't universal and 'our' maths isn't the only maths. but the argument doesn't hold water. 2+2 must always equal 4 because it does by definition, just because those are two ways of writing the same number, it's just another way of saying 4=4. i don't know why anyone seriously thinks that that idea's constructed. there's even a mathematician making the case. all i can conclude is that this is one of those insane things made up to keep my focus away from where it needs to be

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-31T00:20:10+00:00

hm. i pride myself on being open minded but i'm not understanding the point here. maths is abstract even when it's applicable to the real world and breeding chickens isn't the same as doing sums

no chance. horses are next to sacred for muslims and muslims won't ritually sacrifice something and then let the meat go to waste

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-30T21:56:36+00:00

are people really claiming that 2+2=5? it sounds like a piss take and a knowing reference to 1984

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-30T01:32:21+00:00

don't worry, he's probably a thug for all we know so it's fine

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-28T21:22:52+00:00

no, i'm talking about hand outs, charity. and i relish turning it down tho i could actually do with some charity

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-28T01:11:28+00:00

i don't know about that. i'm broke as shit and i hate taking money from people

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-26T22:39:24+00:00

o i'm quite open minded and try not to believe anything dogmatically. i'm not just talking about our ability to feed ourselves (tho that comes broadly under the depletion of non renewable fossil fuels since a lot of synthetic ammonia is derived from natural gas) but everything that comes with overconsumption. one or two problems can be solved without a need to address the basic cause of them but it's gotten to be too much. western countries aren't the whole world, the global population is still rising. and calling the pacific garbage patch and similar collections of ocean waste islands is a misnomer because they're not dense enough to be photographed by satellites so you won't get photographs of them

i know the predictions about peak oil have been a bit hysterical and technology's been improving all the time but the principle's sound. my reason for believing in it is mainly lateral. i believe that people are basically rational and greedy. dick cheney who owns a big part of halliburton pushed hard for the invasion of iraq and immediately as the americans went in halliburton began recruiting in iraq. and it's true that the earth's climate should be changing all the time but the current warming is greater and more rapid than can be accounted for by things like the current ice age ending and the usual things like that. anyway details are details but i can't see how you can argue that our current rate of consumption and pollution is sustainable

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-26T10:10:43+00:00

it's not crowding that's the issue, it's unsustainable consumption, pollution, and destruction. our massive population's the direct or the indirect cause of peak oil, climate change, the sixth extinction, the islands of rubbish in the oceans, pestilence, war, death..

i got £615 for nothing, i'm happy. it just would have been nicer if i'd known to wait

used to be firefox but it forces me to update to the new version which is dog shit and then i have to manually revert it which is a massive pain in the arse to do so often and there's no way to stop it automatically updating so i'm looking for one that does the things that the previous version of firefox does

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-25T10:09:04+00:00

there are too many monkeys on the planet and there's a lot of mental illness in my family so absolutely not

it's full of retards which isn't its fault really, it's a fine idea that can't work as long as main stream sites keep kicking out their retards towards it. also it has all the same problems that reddit has, brigading and obsession with identities and paucity of self awareness

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-25T06:27:50+00:00

i don't know if coincidence characterizes this but i'm going to take the opportunity to tell the story. i was made homeless in october 2017. i had some microbitcoins saved, when i sold them and added the amount to £50 that my mum gave me and another pound that i found somewhere i had exactly £666. i fear i may have accepted the devil's coin. anyway i never had to live rough. yea coincidence would be the name for it, the price of bitcoin started shooting up right when i needed it to. still gutted that i couldn't wait until the peak a few weeks later

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-25T06:20:54+00:00

it's arbitrary and your opinion so it can't be wrong but i can't see how it's a useful way of classifying the races

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-24T18:57:07+00:00

i'm not going to debate matters of fact with you, especially since it's not exactly the point. go and look up how child porn is defined in american federal law if you're interested in that side of the matter

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-24T14:20:54+00:00

the author's talking shit. psychopathy and the other legs of the 'tetrad' can't be diagnosed while the brain's still undergoing development because all children have part of the brain physiology of psychopaths. the internet's mostly used by young people, you're going to find that a lot of them look like psychopaths. doesn't mean anything

muscle doesn't have enough, he must have tried to live on muscle. he should have eaten skin and fat like eskimos thrive on

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-23T22:33:59+00:00

i'm being pedantic but no it doesn't, not in american federal law. that says it has to look like a graphic depiction of sexual activity to any normal person. are you annoyed because they're arguably breaking the law? because i think that's the point, they mean to show how child beauty pageants are obscene. again i haven't seen the film and i could be basing my opinion on a misapprehension. i'd have to have a look at it to properly make my mind up

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-23T13:56:41+00:00

you know what. you're joking but have a listen to what pre-transition transsexuals sound like. i strongly suspect that ben shapiro is a closeted transsexual

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-23T13:46:58+00:00

someone who's seen this film is going to have to confirm or correct this, i haven't got netflix. but what i've read about it is that it's critical of child beauty pageants and the poster is meant to be provocative, not titillating

diogeneswanking · 2020-08-23T13:40:27+00:00

those are her mannerisms from what i've seen of her. and the face isn't wobbling about. the technology could have become harder to detect with the eyes
