    Well, yeah. If the bell curve is real, and it is, half of the population is more stupid than the average of stupidity. (Thats me saying that the average is an affront in itself, btw) The thing which is new however, is that the people responsible for running the country are basically being lead by these people because they depend on their votes. (And there's a tiny group of rich rightwing fucks who make money by moving the country towards stupidity) I don't think that the people responsible for running things have been following stupid to this extent in the past. Normally, the political process aggregates all kinds of interests using some magical wisdom of the crowd formula. And you'd end up with some ethically and morally sound compromise. Regardless of political color, or ideology. The moment when competence is thrown out the window and stupid takes over however...

    TWIN PEAKS

    goDel replied to Candiru's topic in General Banter

    yeah. worse even. this time he took a photo of lynch and put his own mouth on top of it. only one time though. right at the end of the first youtube. when he pretends to be lynch being in a creative discussion with frost. it's a bit silly. but if you were able to survive the 4 hour vid, this is a walk in the park

    In case people missed the 4 hour explainer earlier posted in the thread, here's the follow-up. Or rather, two follow uppers. This time a lot shorter though. First one is close to half an hour. And the second one 80 mins or so. Doable. If you were critical, the first one is recommended. ?

    I think WFH has changed with this crisis though. The way I read your post, the old WFH was a lonely thing. Which was also my experience. The Corona-WFH is much more collaborative though. Video conferencing has become the norm. Much more than before. And in my experience this can work even better, compared to sitting together in a room. For one thing, it's way more easier (or physically possible even) to look at all people in a meeting at the same time. Non-verbal communication in this sense can be way better. You can clearly see whether people are paying attention and whether they agree or not. And the structure of meetings is more clear. It depends a lot on everyone involved though, in terms of discipline. But when done right, a video conference can be way more effective. Also, it has brought people closer together, strangely. As you can literally see people in their personal, private space. Without all the nonsense of suits and all that. Physical distance might be bigger, but emotionally I'd argue contact is closer. Another example of this is that I've noticed a lot of women stopped putting on make-up after a while. Don't want to turn this into some sexist rant. Just an observation. I consider this another example of a "professional" shield being dropped, which improves intimacy in an unexpected way, imo. You're looking at a real human being instead of a wall of facial paint. Before Corona, when working with people who worked from home, video-conferencing was never an option. We didn't even think about it. We just tried to plan around people being unavailable. Nowadays, people are available. And yes, that makes collaborating an entirely different thing. This new WFH though, is basically people trying to reinvent how to keep on collaborating. And it's way more effective than I would have thought before. It's different. But def not worse.

    Yeah + i've read the thread psn posted in the meantime. I will say though that there's a lot of incompetence in the pictures of those protesters. Even terrorists require to be competent. Talking about competence, btw, did the white house create their own excel model to predict the development of the corona virus? Flol

    Has Clark left Warp?

    goDel replied to thumbass's topic in Clark

    WARP couldn't press his compressed sounds on vinyl so they dropped him? (Or another lame joke about compression)

    Thanks! Good read!

    Not sure why this is comparable to those fruitcakes protesting with guns for their freedom. Was Timothy McVeigh a regular protester before he decided to blow stuff up? I'm under the impression he wasn't, btw. Happy to be corrected. And I'm not saying those people don't exist, right? All I'm saying is that terrorists are probably not the people you'd see at those protests we are talking about. You know, Venndiagrams and logic and such.

    Since when did we need to take political cues from our musical overlord? Fanboyism is a disease for the weak-minded. ? *sniffs chemtrails and gulps another can of bleach*

    Sure. No argument there. But gullible people are a danger to themselves. I'm not going to blame him for that. He's not the president of the US of A. He doesn't represent any formal institute. It's just his opinion. Or a bit more than that as his techniques have actually been studied in the past. Obviously not for Corona though.

    You sure? Seriously though, I kinda like Wim Hof and I actually do think there is value in his breathing methods. But he's a bit goofy. Probably too much oxygen in his brain. ?

    White trash. Even white people don't care about white trash. I'm tempted to think that the reason they are allowed to protest armed is that they are so fucking incompetent and pathetic. They look like they would hurt themselves first before they can be a danger toward society. They are the saddest kind of terrorist. The incompetent kind you almost feel sorry for. ?

    No, this is a fashion thread! wait, lets me repeat that, in case you again didnt get it:

    This accusation is going nowhere. I think the comparison with Al Franken is an interesting one. To refresh peoples memories: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Franken#Sexual_misconduct_allegations

    that's a puny tiny micro hype. size matters yo! there's more people posting about how underwhelmed they are lol
  20. goDel
    In this thread? I probably didn't get the memo...
  21. goDel
    Yeah, you seem fairly critical all right. Again, it's fucking social media. Everything is and can be distorted. Especially clips. We've been here plenty times before. Seeing is believing is a thing of the past on social media. Should be. @Mesh Gear Fox

    Just keep an open mind, dickhead. Don't jump to conclusions and take things seriously. Nothing wrong with being suspicious. We're not in a direct relationship with the potential victim and basically outsiders dependent on whats in social media. Which is enough to be sceptical. Not about her, but about the messenger itself.

    fits nicely next to the trump looking directly into the sun during solar eclipse moment. they make such a perfect couple. mikey and donald.

    Belgium is also an interesting example btw. But the assumption is they count their number of deaths more rigorously than others. At least, that's what they say. I wasn't aware of the Swedish healthcare system being worse than other Nordics, btw. Generally speaking that is. (ignoring the corona thing) In terms of research and data-collection it's ahead of many countries. So perhaps, there's a Belgian-effect present in their numbers as well. Was told that Sweden compared to Denmark is that the Danes are a bit more unhealthy than the Swedes. More smoking and alcohol. And therefore, generally speaking, worse outcomes/higher costs. At least, that's what the Danes told me when I visited them a couple years ago.

    they protest for various reasons. I don't pretend to know which. The idiots on the street are a tiny minority. There's always a group of people who think different is better. We should know ? And Elon Musk...is high as a kite. Take that guy with a grain of salt. It's social media...
