@ryo@xianc78 Well, that's not a problem for me, because I don't have the money in the first place, and never will, and even if I had money, I would hide it, because it exclusively attracts bad people that I want nothing to do with. I would only go for someone that is actually compatible, but that borders on impossible for me. Everywhere I go even online (where more people are available), I tend not to like most people, and there are always exactly zero women around. Anyway, at some point in this decade, I'll end up becoming a hobo, and I probably won't be able to provide for myself and will die, so yeah, no gold to dig here.
Also, I can't be with someone that won't resist what is coming, and women are not going to resist, they are going to give in because they are fucking cowards with no morals. And of course, all of them took ze shot like they were told. So, a relationship used to be a goal, but now it's so incredibly unrealistic that I barely even consider it a possibility, and it will keep getting less likely because women are shaped by society more so than men. It was already almost impossible, and now it's at least a thousand times more unlikely.
@udon@ryo Yeah, I saw that there were all of those systems of ideas and thought that surely, one of them must be good, and having a label could make communication easier. But then I read about them and every single one of them had something about them that I didn't agree with, and then I went "okay, never mind". Of course, I gave all of their ideas a chance, but none of them became much of an identity, and I changed my mind all the time, and that was a good thing, because it allowed progress to be made.
Economically, there is actually no position that I haven't considered. In school, communism and socialism seemed more appealing, but then I realized that I hate the government and I hate paying taxes and that it's all a scam, and I ended up studying economics for two years, and that flipped me to capitalism, but then I realized that I hate the entire capitalist system, that capitalism ruined fucking everything and rewards the most monstrous behaviors, and I that I don't even like making money and it doesn't motivate me basically at all.
Then I hated both, and after that I realized that in the way that they were actually implemented in the real world, they are very similar to each other (and that both have been, in fact, merging with the worst aspects of the other), except capitalism goes for a slow-boiling frog approach while the tyranny in communism was a lot more up-front.
@ryo@neo Oh, so that's how you're thinking. It's a language thing. To me software developer sounds professional, while programmer sounds neutral. Could be a hobbyist, could be a professional. I don't know, it just has that feel to me. I, of course, and none of those. Though I have an appreciation for it, particularly Lisp because holy shit, the more I learn, the more I appreciate it. Just getting into the concept of writing functions that write other functions. After figuring out how to add some extra syntax to the language through a recursive macro. It just suits me very well. It helps that for some reason, recursion comes very naturally to me.
@ryo@neo It doesn't matter whether they are competent or not because if they work for money, they are doing work that makes the world worse. There is nothing good being done in software anymore, other than by hobbyists. In fact, the industry one does damage to existing software.
@ryo@neo Yeah, I know, it's crazy, because software developers should make absolutely nothing at all. Train drivers are useful and add something to people's lives. Software developers make life miserable and fucking destroy everything. If all software developers died right now, the world would be a better place.
@xianc78@ryo Your children will be hunted down and exterminated by that system and will never have a fighting chance because the war will be lost before they are old enough to even know what is going on. This is just more of that human trend that I despise, of always pushing problems to the next generation. This is our problem to solve, or to die trying to solve. And if there isn't enough good left in humanity for it to overcome its rotten nature, then it should go extinct. I was never a fan of it anyway.
Frankly, if I could press a button to wipe out all life on this planet, I would do it immediately, it would be the most moral thing that anyone could possibly do. It would also be in my own self-interest, because of the risk of me being born in this world again. Frankly, I would rather be erased from existence entirely, than ever have to live here again. To me, this planet is literal hell. If aliens showed up, I would probably want to go with them. I may go full Liquid Snake and react by shouting "I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, BROTHERS!".
Also, people have this idea that they can just get away from the cities and be left alone somehow. Are they completely blind to reality? This is not a system that leaves people alone, it's a system that destroys anything that can compete with it or exist outside of itself.
Anyway, I think working on the people that are already here is the right thing to do. And we don't need more lives, we need more people to die, but the right people. Also, there is overpopulation in a sense, just go outside, it's fucking hell, there are people everywhere and they are all complete fucking garbage.
There are areas with low population density, because people are all packed like sardines in big cities, but if everyone suddenly woke up and decided to have some self-respect and not live under those conditions, there would be 4.5 acres of land for each person, and that's if all land on this planet is used, (we do not want that), and not considering the fact that people need resources to live good lives.
Of course, white people are not the problem here, the problem is with the other races having no self-control and no self-respect. The fact is that if the population doesn't stop growing, at some point there won't be enough space and resources for people NOT to live like cattle. And what do we get out of these high populations? Nothing good at all. People that are any good are a rarity. It's a population of mass-produced trash, and having children will either add to that, or create more people to suffer under that system.
Oh, and I should mention why I don't support the WEF and what they do. I don't support them because I want all evil to be wiped out, even if that means everyone on this planet having to die (though preferably they wouldn't, the optimal outcome would be for them to kill the psychopaths and then ascend, because humans may be inherently evil, but are capable of rising above it, and therefore should), and they want all good to be wiped out and to enslave all life forever, and for evil to become omnipotent and live forever and take over the entire universe. Very different. I don't care what has to happen as long as they don't get what they want, and that includes burning the entire world to nothing. To me, there is no outcome that is worse than their plans.
That's all I have to say. Oh, there is also the personal aspect that doesn't matter. There are almost no good women, so I'd realistically never want to do that anyway. And I would not want to have another generation of respiratory and allergy issues, and I also hate my family and want their genes to die. Also, I know how much I hate being alive on this planet, and I do not want that to be perpetuated, I am not dragging another life to this hell, fuck that. At least I see some justice in what is going to happen. If this world ends up being nothing but shit people torturing each other forever, good for them, I guess. At some point, things will get so bad that it will be impossible for people with any small amount of goodness to even be born. Then it will just be evil people tormenting each other forever and they'll at least deserve it.
@ryo@udon Not every ism is an ideology, though they do tend to become ideologies when people start identifying with them and attaching more to them, if they don't come up with a new label entirely. Anyway, I am against identifying with ideas because again, it turns people into irrational monkeys that refuse to change their minds no matter how obviously wrong they are. I don't care if it's part of human nature, just cut it off. Amputating this tumor may seem extreme, but then you remember that it is a big reason why people cut their own genitals off, and it doesn't seem so extreme anymore.
@ryo@udon To me, an ideology has to be a prepackaged system of ideas, not a single idea. Of course, you can have a label for a single idea and then more things can be attached to it so it becomes one, like atheism became a religion (while theism is not a religion at all because people don't identify as just theists, because it's a single idea). But that's exactly why you shouldn't give ideas names, that way they can't become an identity and no other crap can be added to that identity. Anyway, is math an ideology? Are the laws of physics an ideology? Is basic fucking logic an ideology? That's silly.
@xianc78@ryo As usual, my position may piss off every side of every discussion in the entire universe, because it's not the position that any side takes, and it's not even the position that centrists take (they don't have real positions because they're fucking cowards, they probably can't even reprodooce anyway because they have no cojones). But I'll do it anyway.
I'm torn on the anti-natalism. Abortion is not a good thing, of course, but at the same time, it's good that people that would abort don't have children. Would you rather be aborted or be raised by them? I would pick the abortion. And it would be good if there were fewer stupid people around. We do have too many of them. Too much quantity, not enough quality. Hell, that is proven by the fact that so many people have so many abortions in the first place.
Also think about it, what if Richard Stallman's mom aborted him? The world would have one less idiot in it. Also, I would prefer to have been aborted myself. It would be even more so the case if I had to be born in recent years. Additionally, I do hate humanity and want it to go extinct unless it changes its ways and stops being shit. My position on evil is that it should stop being evil or be eradicated from existence.
Anyway, don't interpret this as me being pro-abortion. I'm not, it's more nuanced than that. If it should be done at all, it should be very fucking early, before there is any potential for sentience at all, and the woman should be sterilized and so should the man, they should lose their right to have children. I don't think even most people that don't take abortion lightly would say that it should never be done. Rape generally gets a pass, after all, but we also don't want to give women even more incentive to false false rape accusations. I don't have a solid position on what the limit should be because I don't know the timeline of all the biological processes.
Oh, I also think people should be paid to be sterilized in the first place, because then a lot of impulsive idiots would take it and wouldn't have children, and then smart people can have an environment where it makes sense to start having them. It would be voluntary, and I bet that a lot of people would do it. And then after that, not many abortions would happen. There you go, I solved the problem forever. Things being as they are, though, no one that is thinking straight would actually reproduce, because the world is hell and those kids have no future and who the fuck wants to live here? Good people think about the consequences of their actions, bad people don't, so only bad people reproduce, and bad people also have a lot of abortions.
By the way, does Stallman believe in "abortion after birth", also known as murder? Because some people actually defend that. And if he does, I suggest aborting him. Maybe we can even shove him up a dead whale's womb first if that's a requirement for him.
@ryo@udon I tried to be an ideologue when I was a teenager because it's easy. So, I looked for ideologies, but I didn't agree with any of them, so it didn't work. And then I eventually realized that they are stupid, and later that they are evil.
The fact that they are stupid is a lot more obvious considering that every ideologue says that those other people are "not real whateverists". Also "I am a whateverist, but I don't believe in these whateverist points". Or someone doesn't know what the fuck the ideology is and they have to explain it, and it takes longer than just explaining what the fuck they believe in directly, negating the point of the word. Really, everything about ideologues contradicts the convenience that supposedly comes from using those terms. I think it pretty clearly makes dialogue worse, not better.
And of course, all of them argue incessantly about what the ideology is. The hell is the point? It just prevents growth and creates a group mentality and divides people into irrational camps of screeching monkeys, that's all it does. People that I talk to still know my points, they don't need me to be a whateverist. And if you don't make points, people are never going to know you anyway, there is no way to avoid. Well, unless you become a completely generic person that is a perfect embodiment of those labels. Then maybe someone could know everything about you just from you writing "trans xim/xhem, atheist, anarcho-nationalist-social-democratic-communist-monarchist, furry, gamer" on a Twitter profile (I hear that that's what they do).
@ryo@xianc78 Well, I can relate to that, considering that mine still has basically nothing in it. Doesn't help that there are so many things to do. Of course, I could just do the rest, but I really want to figure out what is wrong first, and make it work on Links even though no one actually cares about that. I may not even touch the HTML directly after I have figured it out, I may just use Lisp to generate it, I don't know.
@ryo@udon They will be different eventually (and the middle one is already different because it holds the actual text). I just temporarily filled them with random stuff because it amuses me. The idea is for the left side to link to things within the website and the right side to link to other websites. I don't actually need two columns, I just added them because the lack of symmetry bothers me, at least at the moment, but maybe I will only have the left one, because the article is a little narrow for tiling vertically (like this |, people are always vague about that).
Anyway, Neocities doesn't seem to like some of the things that I do. They didn't like </br> either, so I changed it to <br>, which is what they wanted, even though it's not how I do it. HTML is a fucking mess and I hate it, and I considered just having one bar at the top, but that's not very classic. And it's good for phonefags, and I don't like that because they should feel my pain, except they never will because my stuff is light and theirs is like, 50 MB for black text on a white background, with one image. So really, we'll never be even.
@ryo@udon Fair enough, it might be unavoidable. But if that's the case, it's unavoidable for the masses, not for the people here. Anyway, there are lines that people should repeat, and one of them is "there is no religion but truth". Comes from theosophy, but it's probably one of the best statements ever made.
Hell, maybe you can have a good ideology if it's that sentence and explicitly nothing but that and no exceptions. I just call it having a functioning mind, though. The truth is the only system that you need, and the only things that you need to do are the ones that lead to positive outcomes. And when they don't work, you stop and try something else instead of stubbornly sticking with it because of some belief system.
I just had a strong sense of deja vu. Am I in the Endless Eight? Have I made this exact post before? Is my life becoming this video https://yewtu.be/watch?v=3TwwfTjHmQE ? Kyon-kun denwa?
@ryo@xianc78 He became what he was fighting against. He became proprietary software. The proprietary software now runs through his veins. Or clogs them up, one or the other, but presumably so does his morbid obesity, so I suppose his heart would have blown up either way.
@ryo@xianc78 The Gigachad move when it comes to Satanphones would be for them to make their own websites, and then add some JavaScript that makes the website not work when displayed on mobile browsers, but that does nothing at all if JavaScript is blocked. The website itself having no JS other than that, of course.
@udon@ryo By the way, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "column menus on the sides are bad for Satanphone users". Yes, they are. Isn't that great? Good reason for doing it.
@xianc78@ryo "I also think Stallman wouldn't be a fan of digital ID because it requires a smartphone and Stallman doesn't even carry a dumbphone." What if it was "free software"? Also, I read his articles on the shot. He's all for firing people for not taking them and banning them from public spaces, and I think his only problem with using software to enforce that is that it's not "free software".
@udon@ryo I have a website, but it's just a placeholder for now. But I did update it recently and it looks pretty funny, and also objectively superior to all popular websites. https://terminalautism.neocities.org/
Anyone knows why the table is being inverted in Links? The page's first row is being displayed second, and the second one is being displayed first. More details there.
Also, can't you do custom cursors anymore? I do it in a local HTML document, but I couldn't do it there, at least on Neocities. I thought about making it the Lance of Longinus, from Evangelion, but that wouldn't have worked with so few pixels anyway. So I was thinking about something with flames.
@udon@ryo I legitimately think that it's impossible for ideologies to even be used for good, at least in the long term. People get attached to the labels, and then someone else shows up and slowly changes their meaning over time and it's all fucked again. I have repeated this a lot in the past, but people have to understand the difference between concepts and words, and start thinking in concepts. Words can be corrupted, they can be changed from meaning one thing to meaning another, but concepts can never be corrupted. So, I am against putting a name on sets of ideas, it's a terrible idea. Concepts are constants, words are variables that contain pointers to concepts, and those can be overwritten.
