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

Since I seem to be the only one not getting this, I’m gonna ask: Can someone explain?

This ^^

It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.

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

Nice one

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

Do we have a Philosophy Memes community somewhere?

Ah, good to know. I wonder how is it possible then for Debain-based distros (MX) to run well on this notebook

Thanks, that’s actually a very clear tutorial. Definitely saving it

This laptop wouldn’t even run on windows so I’m not sure what you’re suggesting

Oh shit, what newest release did you upgrade to? I think I have MX21 in my Acer one

Thanks! Great advice 👍

I’ve been hearing good things about opensuse while researching my alternatives

Because it does give me a functional piece of software to grab YouTube videos without actually opening YouTube, but it cannot really run Firefox with uBlock, which basically means web browsing is impossible

Hmmm yeah I hadn’t thought about upgrading the laptop, that’s a big idea, and indeed it should be super cheap

Thanks! I’ll check it out
