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

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?

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

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

Just a reminder for those wanting the niche communities of Reddit. Create them here. If you manage to bring just one more user besides yourself you already have a community. After that, it’s just a matter of time for it to grow, provided you keep it active

I have lots of female friends and from their stories in the dating scene, this is not far from reality. Of course, it’s meant as a sort of social-commentary joke, so there’s exaggeration and oversimplification, but there’s a substrate of truth to to it.

What’s best about the post is the second part. That personality-profile to social media link is spot on LOL

The thing is, if you smoke outdoors, you are violating people’s right to live in an clean environment and breathe fresh air. I don’t care if you fuck yourself up in your own house, but the moment smokers smoke outside of their own homes, they are messing with the liberties of all other citizens.

I was using the regular Bypass Paywall, but people in this thread recommended Bypass Paywall Clean d, and that indeed worked out of the box

I do have uBlock origin installed. I wouldn’t get anywhere near the Internet without it (haven’t seen an add in years). But I really aware of the possibility of using uBlock for Paywall bypassing. Thanks for the tip!

Oh OK, thanks for the clarification. I’ll try to enable the option you suggest. Thanks for the tip!

Ah thanks, now I understand the other message I read about uBlock. I tried disabling uBlock for that particular website to get the Bypass Paywall add-on to work but it never did. Someone suggested to install Bypass Paywall Clean d, and that worked out of the box

Wait, I didn’t know that. You’re saying uBlock Origin can also bypass paywalls? :o

EDIT: nevermind I know what you meant now. I tried disabling uBlock for that website but it still didn’t work. Bypass Paywall Clean d did the job
