I'm trying to parse your sentence. Can you use punctuation?

laughterlaughter ,

So, if you study a map of a building, noticing that it has a kitchen at a certain place, then in go inside the building (without the map), and someone says "go to the kitchen," how do you know where the kitchen is? How do you imagine the paths, rooms, hallways to follow?

If I told you "a pink and brown dog," you can't "see" that dog in your mind at all?

laughterlaughter , (edited )

So, if I tell you "I'll give you $10,000 for you to spend in 24 hours. Spend 20 seconds to think about it," what goes through your head? Don't you hear anything like "shit, that's a lot of money?! Where to start, where to start..."?

Don't you "have words" in your head to form thoughts?

laughterlaughter ,

We don't disagree with this one, but I don't think how this is relevant. I wish I could ask a baby this question, but they can't answer, can they? So I'm asking OP instead.

laughterlaughter ,

Interesting! In my case, if I remember all of a sudden that I have to do laundry tomorrow, but there's a conflict, then I'll "speak" in my mind, with my own voice, saying "oh shit, tomorrow I have Bob's party and I haven't done laundry yet - all my clothes are dirty!!" Well, maybe with not that many words. Maybe more like "Oh shit, I forgot! How do I solve this...?"

laughterlaughter ,

I wish we could swap brains for five minutes. But what is "thinking" for you? Can you picture things in your mind? Moving objects? Suppose that you're looking for a spoon and open your silverware drawer, and it's unexpectedly filled with cotton candy. And you live alone! What goes through your head?! Because the first thing that goes through my head is surprise, followed by the phrase "what the fuck?!?!?!?!"

laughterlaughter , (edited )

Fantastic! Thank you for answering, and I have a similar process going on in my brain as well - but it's combined with "me talking" as well. For example, if I become aware of that "right hand side" investment section you described, I'd probably say' "ooh investing, maybe?"

laughterlaughter ,

I can't speak for everyone, but in my case, yes, I can control the voice just like I can control my physical voice. Sometimes they'll be automatic, yes, but that's no different from your way of thinking while doing some chore, like washing dishes.

laughterlaughter ,

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

laughterlaughter ,

Correct, at once. Like a teacher who is writing on something on the whiteboard while speaking.

Or that scene in Minority Report in which Tom Cruise is going through videos/scenes/etc with his hands while saying things loud to himself.

laughterlaughter ,

Wild. Thanks! The feeling hot analogy is glorious.

laughterlaughter ,

It doesn't matter. List all the crap you want, but show me the most up to date official documentation for the postgres "IN" operator in the very first result! It can't be that hard.

laughterlaughter ,

You're confusing the web with the internet. But I don't blame you because OP did that too.

laughterlaughter ,

Symptoms of what?

But anyway, the cool thing about the internet is that you can find your nice cozy niche and stay there.

That's how the 90s internet was. If the megacorps want to be in here, fine. I'll just stay in Lemmy. And when Lemmy starts sucking, I'll move to somewhere else.

laughterlaughter ,

Well, in that case it's a shitty search engine if it doesn't offer accurate results.

And, well, that's what we have with Google.

laughterlaughter ,

Example..?

laughterlaughter ,

its* effects.

Yup. Unpopular opinion indeed. Upvoted.

laughterlaughter ,

These days? This has always been the case. I remember downloading mp3s from unknowns who offered their music for free in the internet on the early 2000s. Great music.

laughterlaughter ,

lol

laughterlaughter ,

Go during the rainy winter next time. No crowds.

laughterlaughter ,

You talk about "trusting he'll do horrible things."

That kind of "trust" can be excluded from the answer, because it's not the kind the question was referring to.

laughterlaughter ,

Who actually has anything against renewables besides fossil fuel companies?

There's your answer.

laughterlaughter , (edited )

I don't understand why people put up with this with a freaking game. I will never pay money to companies that do this stuff. There are literally tens of thousands of games available right now that are perfectly enjoyable.

laughterlaughter ,

Right? Like the Atari 2600. Absolutely HORRIBLE graphics!!!!!!!!!!111!!11!!!!111!!

laughterlaughter ,

Good troll.

laughterlaughter ,

Good troll.

Maybe an antagonistic AI bot.

laughterlaughter ,

That's what I'm thinking.

laughterlaughter ,

Good troll.

laughterlaughter ,

This was funny, but ugh - I hate when U.S. politics creeps into my tech discussions.

laughterlaughter ,

I didn't downvote you, but I think you're assuming waaaay too much about OP's life circumstances. For al we know, he's an Argentinian teenage girl with an allowance, or a Vietnamese retired fisherman with no life savings.

laughterlaughter ,

Then don't go there.

laughterlaughter ,

Hail Satan!

laughterlaughter ,

Den of the thicc.

laughterlaughter ,

Oh. Hehe. You have to go there. Understood.

laughterlaughter ,

Is Ford the leader in the EV market?

laughterlaughter ,

So security wise I’m bullet proof.

As long as you don't visit shady websites...

laughterlaughter ,

Eh... stick to a real phone OS if that's what you want. Not every project needs to cater to the common denominator.

When I went to their page, I thought "wow, I could use all those old phones I have lingering around for something fun!"

laughterlaughter ,

does its* job very well

laughterlaughter ,

Well? Care to elaborate on your findings?

laughterlaughter ,

What do you mean by "radicalization"? I know you're talking in hyperbole, but are you saying that you're more fervent of your original ideas, or that going over there made a huge impact on the things you believe in?

laughterlaughter ,

Thank you! Sounds point, and I appreciate you typing all that. I will check it out with an open mind. But that will be difficult. I come from a place where socialism/communism was implemented, in which the message was "being rich is a bad thing," and the government is just a bunch of hypocrite authoritarian corrupts. So I have my reservations.

But I'm always willing to learn.

laughterlaughter ,

Yeah, toilet humor is not for me either.

laughterlaughter ,

Which is ironic, because women were the "code monkeys" of back when human computers were a thing - humans actually doing the computing by hand; and most of them were women.

laughterlaughter ,

Plus it shows three levels of indentation. Well... there is the extra one created by the compiler directives, but do they really count?

laughterlaughter ,

Or it’s high seas.

It's always the high seas.

laughterlaughter ,

pretty done with Bill’s fetishes about bing and ai.

I agree with all your points, but Bill Gates has no agency on the company's decisions these days. Blame Satya.

laughterlaughter ,

Well, shit!

laughterlaughter ,
