  • It sent me on a trip and in the end to Hittite 𒆷𒄴𒉺𒀸 (laḫpaš, “ivory”) 3700 years ago

    I love etymology honestly and how it is all connected. I am really curious about onomatopoeias.

    For example is ‘hmmm’ used in many unrelated languages just because it has a soothing vibration? Why do we have same onomatopoeias in cultures that never met?

    Is there a language that is closest to interpreting the brain signals if we consider onomatopoeias to be a part of the language?

    Perhaps some primitive pre language consisting of grunts without words. Then the evolution comes into play and animal communication.






  • Nice but I always found glorification and excitement with violence jarring. Too many people have this righteous justice fetish where they just look for an excuse to shoot someone. Somehow most are from USA but it could just be a coincidence.

    Be like faramir “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” Violence and its tools isn’t to be excited about in itself. It just sometimes is a morbid reality when all else fails.

    Too many people would want to kill that thief excited to try out their new glock and too many people would applaud the doer.



  • Keep coping but you are incredibly small minority and any sane person just laughs at you so you hide in some niche web communities like hexbear and yet you are still defederated from en masse

    There’s a sign there ‚hidden’ to reevaluate your life. If there’s smell everywhere you go…

    Have you ever considered that maybe… you are wrong? That maybe your idols Marx and Lenin weren’t such visionary geniuses?

    Personally my country had enough of communism for a few lifetimes. Socialism maybe, socialdemocracy yes. Progressiveness big yes. But communism? Get the fuck out from here literally. And I am not kidding. We polish people have this habit to shoot soviets.



  • I hear you, well that’s just plain depressing, hope it changes at some point. Sometimes it has to get worse to get better.

    When the illusion of a successful country dissipates that’s when the real changes can be introduced.

    Unrestrained capitalism will never solve your country mounting problems that one I am sure. At some point the problems will become too severe to brainwash even the most easily influenced voters. As long as they have it good or ok, they can be recruited but there’s a limit and populism is inherently short-sighted and thus short-lived. It’s akin to burst of anger out of denial that can’t survive long in it’s powerful but unstable state of constant crisis. Trump is a harbringer of change and a proof that we hate changes but there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them and those trumps and such only accelerate the inevitable societal progress. I wouldn’t say let him rule because this would be unfair to many people but it will eventually pass and will be a building block for the better tomorrow.

    There’s no power in the world that could bring back catholic medieval society at this point.
