i've made this thread before on a different board. god i look like a data miner. but i'm really interested in this

it's been hard, personally, to try and distinguish whether or not i actually am an aphant; because experiencing & literally seeing things within my own brain is a state that can't be compared with others, so it's not as if i'll know for sure. i do 'know' what i'm thinking of, but i'm not so sure it qualifies as imagery. if we're not all conceptualising 'seeing' as the same, then there's no way to firmly compare what we're capable of. do i SEE the apple? do i SEE blue? i feel that i can recall it, but not enough, and that once put my heart down into my stomach. like, others can SEE that? now i'm indifferent, and not so uncomfortable with the possibility of lacking this ability

for sounds, i've felt a couple times while in the daze of pre-sleep that i'm hearing things that i'm not wilfully conjuring - the sounds are almost 'there', audible. i also do dream, and once i'm coming out of them, i know i touched, saw and felt things. but the recollections fade, and my brain cannot do that while conscious (obviously not - but the ability isn't even sectioned down, it's then not really there at all, too subdued.)

i never saw things when i read books, and i had my head in them a lot as a kid. even now, i don't bother to try & picture the things described to me. i like the words themselves (a sort of logophile), and their arrangements are the part i come back for. the backgrounds built up by the descriptions are only 'there' in a strange, imprecise way

i don't really have the best memory, but i can perfectly remember the face of the only girl (or person in general) i've ever dated. i draw her a lot, and we even reconnected recently, and yes she loved the drawings :)

>>325783
this made me smile. is it bittersweet to remember her so well compared to other things, or simply nice? it was a sweet thing to share, i wasn't expecting something so soft

>>325781
That's a lot of questions but yeah I can see the apple in vivid detail in my head. Down to the little brown spots on the leaf and the sheen on the skin of the apple. I can change the shape, color, etc at will. Really the level of detail is dependent on how much you can recall based on past experiences and use those memories to formulate a new vision in your head. You know now that I mention it out loud that does sound a lot like AI.

people care too much about the rights and dignity of male offenders, that's why. the article you included says
>The surgery is irreversible, disfiguring, and can cause feelings of humiliation and a lack of dignity. These harms arguably make it cruel and unusual punishment.
you know what's humiliating and un-dignifying? sexual abuse & harassment. cruel? objectification & degradation through a provocative/sexual context. but the mere THOUGHT that male offenders would be punished duly for it is what gets people squirming. the world truly isn't ready to care about women enough, not at all

but from a different perspective, breeding is integral to a lot of people's inherent sense of purpose, so permanently removing someone's ability to have children; even consensually, forever; is too far when the alternative chemical castration exists. if having kids wasn't so precious to people, even going so far as to let severely disabled people reproduce and torture their children with a painful existence, then we'd maybe have a shot.

It's kind of like death penalty, the verdict may not necessarily be correct but by then the changes are irreversible.
Not saying whether this should or should not be implemented but this would be one of the counter arguments.

and it's so irritating because when i bring this up in debates or just conversations they always say it could "ruin a man's life" & what if she's lying? Sure, those are real things that could happen but just because of that small % of women who do, victims can't get the justice they need !!!

This is why I always believe the victim first tbh.. then continue to update my opinion as more evidence comes out.
Victims are already scared enough to come out about what happened to them.

Moids unironically cite fake stats like up to half of sa allegations are fabricated. I see them actually saying this shit. Or misinterpreting the stats and thinking because only a few cases get convictions they’re the only real ones.

>>325779

very true.
need to figure out a way to derail these fake stats. but i feel like its hard to change a moids mind if you are not a fellow moid. we could bring up the most logical arguments but will only respect it if a moid says the same thing.

>Salient events are an attentional mechanism by which organisms learn and survive; those organisms can focus their limited perceptual and cognitive resources on the pertinent (that is, salient) subset of the sensory data available to them.
i saw someone describe schizos as having deep plunges of information that they can't pull their brains out of fast enough, almost like cliffs that their consciousness dives into & gets caught. whereas normal people have plunges that they don't get stuck inside of. i think it was shown to me in a kind of graph demonstration, and i don't know if it was even close to an accurate elucidation, but interesting nonetheless, and this made me think of that. overvaluing signals against their will. must be torture

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Riverine and forestine, both adjectives for river and forest respectively incase it wasn't obvious

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

>>325776
But you know what is a textbook theory?
"Fabula and syuzhet". Per wikipedia:
>In narratology, fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events within the world of a narrative and syuzhet equates to the sequence of events as they are presented to the reader. Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky originated the terminology as part of the Russian Formalism movement in the early 20th century. Narratologists have described fabula as "the raw material of a story", and syuzhet as "the way a story is organized.
The see-also section gave me another new word, "lisible".
>Lisible is a word from the French for 'legible' used to denote a text that requires no true participation from its audience. It was coined by the French literary critic Roland Barthes in his book S/Z and expanded from his essay "The Death of the Author". Barthes contrasts texte lisible, denoting a closed work, with texte scriptible, a text open to interpretation. In Barthes's opinion, lisible works provide no challenge to the reader's preconceived notions and thus are inferior to scriptible works, exemplified by modernist literature. Barthes contends that lisible works still emphasize the importance of the author, whereas for scriptible texts "the reader is the very space in which are inscribed, without any being lost, all the citations a writing consists of; the unity of a text is not in its origin, it is in its destination

I'm not I just thought those two posts were funny

Alright, I found a gardening thread on /diy/. Some of these people use electronics for their potted plants, which I find interesting!
I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.

So yuge now. By the way there was one more saple separated from the rest but it’s gone now for some reason
Etc etc

Also they are crowded as fuck which I'm not sure what to do about yet. I'm afraid of trying to transplant them, but I will have to wait another month if I want to cut them and replant. I'll think about it.

I don't understand this video and post. How do you get your boyfriend to wear an outfit you like, well why not just ask him? Is there like a punchline or some other meaningful subtext in the video or is that literally just it?

Can you imagine spending so much time out of your life stressing over weight? What a sad existence

once, it was harder to gain weight, so it was seen as desirable. now, it's easier to gain weight because intensive workout routines require time, a good diet which can be expensive, and the right circumstances overall with work + other life commitments. nit-picking your body to achieve all of the listed things is a much more accessible fixation for women with money, intensified by access to a surgeon and liposuction. so, it's rarer. it becomes in fashion, because having a good enough situation to workout and eat well is a sign of wealth. the rich like to do anything that makes them distinct from the poor. that's why "homely" women, lower class, are depicted as fatter and less refined in film stereotypes, more sunken in. wider, larger tits. excessive, like they have no finetuning or self control. curvy women are associated with being bangmaids too.
it's a general lack of proper appreciation for the real female form basically. people want "better" versions, not real life

Does anyone get the feeling that the Uniparty has been bought off by the elites?

Just heard something interesting from my nurse moid acquaintance who's staunchly against ssri's. (but is pro maoi's)
>Someone asked here why women tolerate SSRI's way better. This is thanks to estrogen. Higher serotonin transporter availability + estrogen downregulates 5ht1a autoreceptors and upregulates 5ht2a, thus accelerating postsynaptic transmission and causing less harm

Which explains quite a bit, like why men tend to be more anti-psychiatry and tend to make fun of women for often being on ssri's, even though they're not necessarily as bad for women. But this needs fact checking.

>>325733
>While women achieve better therapeutic outcomes, they are 50–75% more likely to experience adverse side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and nausea
this might have something to do with their mockery, on top of their self-centredness

Guy makes a semiconductor lab in a shed and makes a RAM.

Okay I thought this was one of those funny haha gimmick videos at first, but the more I watched the more impressive it became. Hell I haven't heard this many new terms in a year. This guy (or a group of them) built a lab for semiconductors. Let's pretend we want to replicate this process and thus we need to extract as much info as possible. Not only he needed the knowledge for electronics, but also dyi building, airflow engineering, prob chemistry, engineering the actual equipment…

First, build the environment.
The shed is separated into the gowning area and the cleanroom area. It is imperative that the cleanroom stays as clean as possible, as single speck of dust can ruin a chip.
1) The shed is insulated (there's a lot of information on cleanroom insulation online),
2) some framing is added so we can set a cleanroom grade HEPA filter with an air intake filter just under the roof. I cannot tell which filters he got from the video.
3) A dedicated electrical circuit is installed. No information in the video on the specifics.
4) Heating and cooling with a mini split. (Would be nice to specify which role heating and cooling plays)
5) The room is divided and now every space has to be sealed. (?) Instead of using expensive plastic, he uses flame-resistant drywall with a water-based epoxy to create a smooth particle-free surface. The attic space above is also sealed and controlled for airflow.
Now, the airflow part is very important (1st pic) the cleanroom is also kept at a positive pressure (how?) to keep the contamination from coming in. Massive HEPA filter scrubs the air and recycles it a few hundreds per hour. (because the room volume is small)

After all's said and done, a particle counter is brought to the cleanroom for testing. It shows 40 particles/40ft^3 in the middle, and sub-100 at the edge of the room. This makes it a class 100 cleanroom, which OP claims is on the level of Samsung, Intel, TSMC.

If liberty will continue to exist, it's up to us to spread freedom.

Patriots must be absolutely obsessive about telling people about freedom now.

The globalists want to kill you.

Americans say that concentration camps could never possibly exist in the future because concentration camps never existed in the past.

I checked out lainchan this morning, I used to avoid it because of how troony the name felt to me, but its actually got some quality discussion. They also have a gardening general on /diy/! I should pay a visit sometime soon.
