| Topic | Juggalos or Swifties, which group of fans are worse? |
| TheMikh 10/31/23 8:30:26 AM #10 | ai123 posted...
The amount of anger that Taylor Swift induces merely by releasing well-made pop songs and being a generally decent human being says more about her detractors than it does about her.we're discussing fan groups, not the music i listen to more taylor swift than i do juggalo music but i find juggalos more likable than swifties --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png |

juggalos are decent folk who mind their own business, and are especially used to people knocking on them and their subculture swifties are entitled extremists that lack self awareness --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png |

| Topic | 1984 Dystopia |
| TheMikh 10/30/23 3:50:49 PM #64 | why take a side in a mimetic spiral rather than recognizing the mimetic spiral for what it is
why complain about armchair mouthpieces participating in virtualizations of the mimetic spirals when they are mere vessels why complain about censorship when it undermines the legitimacy of the prime movers of said censorship, and supplies potential energy for radioactive slingshots of memetic dissonance why complain about the decline of values endemic to a context when their decline are an implicit condemnation of the context and its emergent mechanisms and their abject failure to robustly enshrine them in the face of entropic chaos hockeybub89 posted...

| Topic | 1984 Dystopia |
| TheMikh 10/30/23 3:03:38 PM #32 | the real dystopia is the degree of mind control that technocapital has accomplished since mid-20th century
everything flows downstream from the intellectual dark matter of accelerating massively parallel a/b testing over generations, largely wielded by the administrative apparatus and large corporations, and the occasional rando who cracks the code for a little while as our institutions and social constructions become increasingly dictated by the automated, procedural, computational-analytical, so too does culture and the collective consciousness itself, beholden to institutions, beholden to automated processes, revering no sacred cows, too young and not yet mindful of the consequences of forsaking the sacred, or perhaps aging too fast to preserve the sacred before the floor of convention bottoms out once again cybernetic loops, cybernetic loops everywhere --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png |

Yes, rich people with rich parents generally stay richit could really go either way. depends on how they're raised, how the wealth is passed down, and arbitrary life circumstances. rich kids might walk in their parents' footsteps, but they could also end up completely out of touch with reality and making awful life and financial decisions. --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png |

| Topic | TIL Cheesecake Factory is a restaurant and not an actual factory for cheesecakes |
| TheMikh 10/24/23 2:02:58 PM #18 | Let C refer to cheesecakes at cheesecake factory, and Cx refer to some individual cheesecake varieties such that Cx C. Let x also enumerate the specific variety of cheesecake, such that Cx = C*x. Let X refer to all cheesecake variants.
Consider the following:
Factoring out C, you find that X = i..j. The sum of each cheesecake variant is indeed the full set of cheesecake variants. If you accept this line of reasoning, it can be concluded that Cheesecake Factory can indeed be factored. But this does not explicitly mean it is a factory. How can we prove this? Through etymological analysis. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/8/AAFFpAAAE-BG.png What does this all mean? Cheesecake Factory, though not a literal factory, can be shown to factor. Cheesecake Factory is a factor. Factory is a factor. Therefore Cheesecake Factory is a factory.
