I am certainly not trying to offend americans or any other group of people. Pointing out the country of origin of widely used inventions seems like vain patriotism. Do the Chinese tell you to stop using paper currency because you were dissatisfied with it, or complained about it at some time?

I was unaware of that fact, thanks.

 

Such a lovely film by Kiarostami.

The entire album is very good. Stanley Turrnetine has many hidden gems in his oeuvre.

  • add similar stuff your config
  • break everything
  • spend a week fixing everything
  • be satisfied with neovim config
  • repeat the above steps indefinitely

Retroarch and tons of roms. Would set me up for quite a while.

I really appreciate the flexibility of lemmy when it comes to the viewing experience, you can browse it through the web, through dedicated apps, through RSS feeds, &c. &c. This is the kind of openness, of choice and software, that I desire for every service on the web.

Reminds me of Crackers in Pink Flamingos. Hilarious film, do check it out.

I don't think the disposition to evil needs a "fertile soil". For instance, there are evil men in convents--and in quite a high degree too--that harm others in order to break the monotonicity of their life; now, would you say a convent is a "fertile soil" for growth of evil--should be the contrary. The artificial spite is a product of, as I've mentioned, a boring and monotonous life, and it so happens the easiest mode available to break this is harm towards others.

In case of natural malignity, the influence on the actions lies not in something mundane as boredom but other natural causes--be it from parental abuse, &c. but I concur that I've no scientific knowledge in this field. And, thus I believe that the ones that hold malignity through nature (in contrast with the artificial one) are able to create an environment that accomplishes, or perhaps, breaks, as I've said above, their disorder's whims. And the chans happen to be a pre-existing place with like minded people that nurture each other's "seeds", but even in the lack of these imaginary soils, the seeds will grow without any problem.

I don't think such sites "produce" mass murderers; they certainly contribute to the accleeration of their extremity--I don't deny that--but no site can "produce" mass murderers, there has to be some preeminent malignity present in the person.

Why is there so much fearmongering around 4chan? Everyone that doesn't use it seems to think of it as an anomaly; when it is nothing but a somewhat "radical" (that too only some boards) social site. Also banning & doing something along those lines to the users of 4chan is the shittiest idea of all time.
