[subtle swallow]

Hello

How it's going

[ornate siren]

Some really serious (but not unfamiliar!) stuff going on in my absence.

[pearl condor]

true

[lavish finch]

Like your name

@thorny steeple

What happened?

[inner torrent]

hello serious english speakers

[ornate igloo]

Hello

[velvet quarry]

I am serious

Seriously in need of beesechurgers

[cursive estuary]

My initial claim was 'I disagree with you, I don't believe that we are mere animals of instinct' being my main argument that we posses abstract thinking as our differential factor, let us provide a definition of 'Abstract thinking' so you folks don't have to worry about this 'The ability to calculate, sort, categorize, conceptualize, draw conclusions, or interpret and condense complex ideas' now as I know you guys really like to clarify the meaning of words lets define ideas 'a thought, conception, or notion' can monkeys do this? can cats and dogs do this? Does this come from mere instinct. I'm not denying that we have basic needs it would be foolish to do so, but our sole behavior can not be attributed to instinct, the sole fact that we are communicating our thoughts disproves that, or would you say that this is also just a simple response to an stimulus, I don't think so. The point being made is not whether we share or not behaviors with other animals, but rather to disprove that we are not solely instinct driven.

[inner torrent]

thats crazy

[cursive estuary]

Btw I applaud your response this is how an actual conversation works, not just by happily spanning clarifications requests. Or pointing that the other person is an ignorant because of X or Y reasons.

[white shard]

How about them deezburgers?

! ! may contain nuts ! !

[obsidian scaffold]

Hello

I'm new here

[ember mantle]

Hey me too Hector how are you ?

[prisma cipher]

Today I watch Mario movie, so good

[ember mantle]

Good choice, I haven't seen the Mario movie but I like Mario overall

[prisma cipher]

Mario games 👍

[ember mantle]

Yeah of course

[rare prairie]

Hectoooor

[royal stratus]

Hey, I’m tutoring a 10 year old in English, any tips?

[obsidian scaffold]

Good buddy, where are you from?

[obsidian scaffold]

Sorry what's that means nvm?

[viral valley]

never mind

[junior depot]

Happy birthday

[molten terrace]

Hello

[lament osprey]

[obsidian scaffold]

[rapid perch]

Hi

Or to practice with listening and reading comprehension?

[night ravine]

Google can, I'm sure of it.

[kind kestrel]

Hi

[obsidian scaffold]

Hello

[thorny steeple]

Hello..

[ornate siren]

Whence may you be?

[lavish finch]

Are you serious?

[devout shale]

"Why so serious"

[lavish finch]

“Have you ever been serious?”

[thorny steeple]

Hi everyone

[worn pond]

Hi, how r u doing?

[thorny steeple]

Go to beach.

[worn pond]

what?

[thorny steeple]

I'm going to beach.

[merry orbit]

Hi everyone,

[worn pond]

hi

[lavish finch]

Not serious enough

[carmine gorge]

Lemme dance

[ember mantle]

I'm from France and you ?

[hard wing]

I can help you

[ornate siren]

Exactly. These new fellows.

[ocean beacon]

salut

come tallez vous?

hey guys im new in this chat
whats the topic here?

whats ir used for?

[worn pond]

Idk either

[ocean beacon]

😂

[subtle swallow]

Good morning

[ember mantle]

Hey that's great perhaps you wrote ur sentence as if u were speaking orally, the correct sentence is "comment allez vous ?". When speaking, we make the connection between the word "comment" which means "how" and the word "allez" and we pronounce the "t".

[valid raven]

Wow someone is happy in serious chat.

Oh my gahhh

[lavish finch]

Would you please delete this gif.

[inner torrent]

well thats not very serious

[lavish finch]

What’s that? Would you be more specific?

Thank you cheese god

[lavish finch]

Why wouldn’t someone be happy? Do you think serious people aren’t happy?

@ornate siren I caught Diana being extremely serious in

#💭｜general message

[ornate siren]

Nope

[pseudo panther]

alooo

[ornate siren]

To my horror, the serious chat is gradually becoming a place of casual introductions and everyday topics.

[pseudo panther]

newbie

[ornate siren]

Like this one.

[lavish finch]

Nope what?

[ornate siren]

Can't notice it

[lavish finch]

You don’t think it’s serious.

[ornate siren]

I can't notice the message.

Oh yes, now I've found it.

[oak gate]

@lavish finch sir, i am new at learning English. my question is which grammar rules should i learn first. you can reply me by just saying what kind of grammar rules do i need for basics.

[ornate siren]

The rhotic basis of French phonology.

[lavish finch]

Are you sure you’re new? You don’t seem new.

For a new student I suggest beginning with basic or elementary grammar.

Not just one rule.

use a textbook

[oak gate]

You mean English learning text book

[lavish finch]

I mean a textbook that teaches grammar

[ornate siren]

Where are you from?

[lavish finch]

Such as grammar in use by Cambridge

[oak gate]

I know. But i wanted to what should i read first

There are so many that's why i asked you

[ornate siren]

@oak gate

[oak gate]

South Asian

[ornate siren]

Country?

[oak gate]

I think you didn't get my question

[ornate siren]

I suppose you're Indian?

[oak gate]

Yha you can say

[oak gate]

I wanted to know what should I read first on that text book. Like sentences , tenses, parts of speech

[ornate siren]

Ah, good. Then I wager J.C Nesfield's Grammar would be just fine for you.

[oak gate]

Thanks. I will find it if I could

[lavish finch]

No

[lavish finch]

Stop it

[ornate siren]

It's specifically suited to Indian students.

That's a bit rude. I believe I also have the right to advise.

And the book is by no means mediocre.

[oak gate]

I am leaving

[ornate siren]

In fact, it rises to pretty rarefied levels at many places.

It's enough to make anyone fairly proficient in English grammar.

[ornate siren]

Farewell

[lavish finch]

I am also leaving for some appointments.

[ornate siren]

I fare you well too

[lavish finch]

Thank you.

[thorny steeple]

I'd like to share a piece I particularly like as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho9rZjlsyYY

[simple wyvern]

I'm abdalrahman from Egypt

[ornate siren]

Your name strikes me as that of the Umayyad governor of Spain, Abd-al Rahman I, who led the Moslem invasion of Francia and suffered his most horrible defeat under Duke Eudo of Aquitaine and Charles Martel, Mayor Of Paris, at Tours-Poitiers in the year 732.

“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.”- Ludwig van Beethoven

[full river]

Organ sound in all its beauty

[thorny steeple]

Magnificent

[ornate siren]

What's crazy is that I was there, listening to it a mere 15 minutes ago.

The most famous piece of Beethoven after Fur Elise.

And perhaps, the Moonlight Sonata.

[full river]

Coincidence..

Cant help admiring their ability of putting all those feelings and moods into sound

[ornate siren]

We should strive to be like them, even in this banally materialistic and mechanical world.

[full river]

Materialistic and mechanical.

I guess my world is more than that. Thoughts, imagination, feelings.. for me they are beyond what we call materialistic and mechanical, no matter how science would relate them to the work of brain and physical processes.

[ornate siren]

That's beautiful. I'm with you.

Especially being from a place that is complete bullshit.

[full river]

We can try to create our own tiny world

[ornate siren]

I have done so, and as have you.

[full river]

True

Nice talking with you. Bye

[ornate siren]

Bye-bye

[thorny steeple]

Hi everyone

[ornate siren]

Shut the hell up, insolent fool. Do not desecrate this channel. And you too, @coral sedge.

Would you shut up? Don't make me say what I don't want to.

[full river]

Ignore

[ornate siren]

Whatever you say, alright.

[lavish finch]

That's a great note. I mean quote. (freudian slip).

[lavish finch]

I don't know what was said that you want to shut out, and you don't have to tell me.

[full river]

Freudian slip - an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.

Nice

[lavish finch]

Instead of attacking the person, we could work to describe the kind of channel we want. We can talk about what it means to be serious.

[ornate siren]

Would you like to tell Mr. Green, please @full river?

[full river]

Some disturbing messages

[lavish finch]

Nargiz has some good experience ignoring disturbing messages.

[thorny steeple]

[full river]

That's true

[full river]

I saved screenshots, if you're interested

[lavish finch]

No thanks

I have a powerful imagination.

[full river]

They are already banned so

[lavish finch]

I prefer if you focus on my reply.

[lavish finch]

Here

Since this channel is the focus, not the messaging we don't want.

[ornate siren]

And tell me now, if I didn't do well? Though you may advise me on not attacking people directly.

[lavish finch]

Attacking people comes with high costs.

Justified or not.

[ornate siren]

The profit sustained here, was the deletion of the messages. The slight cost was that of a little misunderstanding.

[lavish finch]

Staying focused on goals comes with high profit.

[full river]

I like to see people sharing ideas on variety of topics, having debates without offending one another, without using profanity, even when disagreeing, preferably making it in a way that wouldn't be an attack towards the opposing side. Also like to see people making jokes, friendly ones.

I like to see people connecting, creating good relationships, enjoying conversations.

Can't always be perfect, but these are things we could try for.

[ornate siren]

Good point

[full river]

There is another thing that I also like and find entertaining

Especially in serious chat, which is sarcasm. But..

It is in the red row of Savi grid and considered as an attack

Although I think sarcasm can add spice to the conversation, it can also hurt and create tension.

[ornate siren]

Agreed.

[lavish finch]

Great start. (I'm leaving again, for class)

[full river]

I think it would make sense to try to know the audience before using it.

leaving too 👋

[ornate siren]

There's nothing in your views to object to.

Goodbye, everyone

[valid raven]

No, I don’t mean it but you really took every word of me seriously.

[merry orbit]

Anyone here may suggest any interesting topic to discuss?

[ornate siren]

I'll go to sleep now.

It's past midnight here.

[merry orbit]

Have a good night

[ornate siren]

Thanks

[merry orbit]

Okey I came up with one, do you think that having the passion in doing something is really important? In other words do you believe in (follow your passion)

More details?

Why?

But I think you need to be more specific, I think in your case you mean the passion about someone

What about the things you're not good at but you wish to?

Wow that's a huge thing to say

Would you explain?

[civic reef]

I remember one native calling me crazy and dumb when I used that word once

[merry orbit]

What if the thing you're good at doesn't make money to live? Let's say for example you know a very rare language

[merry orbit]

How did you use it?😂

[civic reef]

i dont even remember this, but am sure it had to make sense, at least this is what my mind tells me

this tense change from "used" seemed pretty suspicious

but am glad it is not past, then

oh yeah

i got a bit confused, because ex just does not look good with present tense next to her

[zenith tinsel]

Hi guys

I’m looking for voice conversation. Any advice?

[thorny steeple]

join the vc and try speaking with different people and ask them how your english is

[lavish finch]

It is what you said. Why wouldn’t I take you seriously?

[thorny steeple]

What do we have here?

Hii!

I am good! And you?

[thorny steeple]

[vernal crypt]

Bats are awesome
Thousands of species
I think only 1 or 2 are actually blood consumers

[thorny steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-bat-upside-down-gif-14148208

[vernal crypt]

They live in South America, if I'm not mistaken

[thorny steeple]

This is a baby bat a.k.a a gothic name for new goths too, LOL

[vernal crypt]

Lol

[thorny steeple]

like a winged rodent

flying mouse

[vernal crypt]

When I was a teen
Goths were called mods

[thorny steeple]

It was a pejorative name, right.

Just like "punks".

[vernal crypt]

Yes

I was punk back then
Still am
At heart

[thorny steeple]

REALLY??

[vernal crypt]

Very much so

[thorny steeple]

So cool, let me see pictureeeess some day, if you want 😍

[vernal crypt]

Oh.. um
I could sometime
I think o have something still

[thorny steeple]

I'd love to seee!

I'm not, but I like some songs.

[devout shale]

Anche grunge

[fossil gale]

For me, instead of goth there were emos

[thorny steeple]

Emo is more like a 2000 thing.

[vernal crypt]

Yeah
I think Nirvana and sound garden are my favourite of that period
But also
STP stone temple pilots

Yeah
Emo came later

[thorny steeple]

So cool!

[vernal crypt]

But like we'd go down to Tijuana to see punk and rockabilly bands that were banned in SoCal

[thorny steeple]

Are you from California?

[vernal crypt]

And go up and down the coast to see shows.

I grew up there

[thorny steeple]

So coooool! 😍

[vernal crypt]

I didn't move to Italy till after I met my husband

[thorny steeple]

So cool! 🥰 California is a place I'd like to meet one day.

[vernal crypt]

It's nice.
I mean... I don't like LA.. I only went there to visit friends or go clubbing (dancing) in west Hollywood

[fossil gale]

I loved that era

[thorny steeple]

Ohhh! Cool! I guess I wouldn't live again in a big city tbh.

[fossil gale]

I was born in ‘98 so i grew up with those people

[thorny steeple]

But to visit, I'd like to! lol Do you like more Italy than there?

[thorny steeple]

Me too! A lot of my fav bands are emo, LOL! Unless Metallica.

Damn, I just love Blessthefall!!! My whole teen years was listening to themmm!!

[fossil gale]

Ahahah, apocalyptica?

Three Days Grace

[vernal crypt]

It's difficult to choose.
I moved here because.. Italy 😍
But I miss camping and other sports and activities I did there.

[thorny steeple]

@thorny steeple lurkerrr

[thorny steeple]

@devout shale is from Italyy

So cool! I know there are a lot of amazing beautiful placess!

[fossil gale]

Oh, Italy sounds nice! I will visit my friend there hopefully.

[thorny steeple]

😮

[thorny steeple]

I used to listen to The Used, Stick to your Guns, City and Color, omggg

Stick to your guns I still listen, lol!

[vernal crypt]

Yeah
I think he's south of where I am

[thorny steeple]

"I've been to hell and back, searching for answersss that do not existtt" ♫

[fossil gale]

Aah, person of culture

[thorny steeple]

I dont know what you are talking about

[vernal crypt]

It's lovely here
Just avoid it in summer

[thorny steeple]

Damnnn, I love thoseee! I remember going to work and listening to them!

[thorny steeple]

Music and emo songs, LOL

[devout shale]

@vernal crypt i thought you were born in Italy

[vernal crypt]

No
My kids were tho

[thorny steeple]

Where 😮

[vernal crypt]

My husband too

I've been living here for 22 years now

It's a lifetime for some people

[thorny steeple]

Yess, lol!

[devout shale]

Nice

[thorny steeple]

I'm feeling deeply nostalgic now.

Musics hits me so hard in nostalgia... omg.

[fossil gale]

Well, i guess i am used to heat. Im Turkish

[devout shale]

@thorny steeple is a goth

[thorny steeple]

Musics and perfum has this effect on me.

[devout shale]

A pink goth

[thorny steeple]

Kind of, I'm not traditionally goth, tbh.

[fossil gale]

Why are you kind of goth?

[devout shale]

.

[thorny steeple]

I just like some of the bands and then I became kind of "organically"?! LOL

[vernal crypt]

Music does that for me as well

It gets hot there in Turkey (I'm not spelling that right)😬

I liked a couple bands from then

[thorny steeple]

Because it's not all the bands that I like and I also don't wear toooo heavy makeup all the time or very often.

[devout shale]

@thorny steeple semi-goth

[thorny steeple]

I'm more minimalistic, let's say...

[devout shale]

Only in Thursdays

[thorny steeple]

People usually called me "scifigoth" because the work I used to do with science fiction in my country, LOL

That's why I love cyberpunk, all of those stuff.

[devout shale]

What work

[fossil gale]

Makes sense sometimes i wear like a hiphop guy but listen power metal lmao

[thorny steeple]

I was ambassador of the bigger sci-fi publisher in my country.

It was in the past, lol! When blogs were a thing.

[devout shale]

Wow

[thorny steeple]

Seee! We're not stereotypes, LOL

[vernal crypt]

Nowadays there is no rule to fashion and music.

[thorny steeple]

I thing i have found me when i have webcam on

[devout shale]

[vernal crypt]

Oh sweet!

[devout shale]

[thorny steeple]

I'll no try to sing Amy Winehouse because I guess my voice doesn't suits her songs.

[thorny steeple]

LOL

[vernal crypt]

I've sung and played on stage
But not for a long time

[thorny steeple]

I can send you some Turkish songs @thorny steeple

[thorny steeple]

Sounds amazinggg

I guess I would die, LOL

[thorny steeple]

Deal!

I only made three public concerts in my life and they're all traumatic, LOL

First when I danced in the school

Second in the church by obligation

[vernal crypt]

I have died several times
But you just sing through the death till the song is over.
Then bury your face in the nearest shoulder and let out a sigh of relief that you didn't get kicked out😂😂

[thorny steeple]

yes she's alto, deep female voice, your voice is thinner but I think you can sing her songs too

[prisma cipher]

I like how you said I do three and tell about ✌

[devout shale]

How do you say when someone does a really good job

Slang

[dawn karma]

Hey! frog1! This is Eugene,!?

[full river]

Oh please do. My favourite is Bring me to life 🙃

[prisma cipher]

What

[dawn karma]

Pleased to meet you, How have you been?

[devout shale]

@full river hey

[devout shale]

Don't know but I killed the chat

[dawn karma]

I missed you so much, frog1!

[full river]

Hey hey hello

[full river]

I've missed the karaoke night 😄

[dawn karma]

Maybe you are busy, now I am leaving! See you later! Bye, Bye, frog1

[static pivot]

sick

[devout shale]

Ive seen someone say "you nailed it" is that somewhat similar

[prisma cipher]

Who are you

[static pivot]

Yeah

Very familiar

https://slang.net/meaning/sick

[prisma cipher]

Who was that Eugene

[thorny steeple]

🤣

[thorny steeple]

But I'll not sound good

[thorny steeple]

Sureee

It was so traumatic that my notebook died

@devout shale fix my notebook 😭

[devout shale]

@thorny steeple is lagging

[devout shale]

What

Why

[prisma cipher]

I checked history and O remember that Eugene, I have short memory

[thorny steeple]

It's blue screen

🥺

[devout shale]

It doesn't turn on?

Did you see the error message

[thorny steeple]

Make a miracle I can't buy another now 😭

[devout shale]

What were you doing when it turned off?

[thorny steeple]

I was here lol

I guess the trauma was hard lol

Now I'm in my phone

[devout shale]

😕

Did you try to restart

[thorny steeple]

I guess I'll leave off for some time

[devout shale]

Hope it's not something serious

[thorny steeple]

Me too

Or I will cry and this time for real

🤣

Damn I killed the chat with this

Where is everyone

[devout shale]

No I killed it before

Do you have backups

[thorny steeple]

No

But I don't have much files tbh, I use it only to edit stuffs and I leave some folders there. Other things are saved somewhere else.

[devout shale]

You could remove the hard drive and plug it in another pc if it doesn't reboot

[devout shale]

Ok

[thorny steeple]

Ok! 🥰

Since I can't do nothing

I will pray on him

[devout shale]

😔

Maybe MBR got corrupted

[thorny steeple]

No, he just need rest

The boii will be alive soon

🤣

[devout shale]

Let's hope 😐

[cursive estuary]

Oi Angelline, your bootloader got deleted somehow

[sullen vessel]

Install windows 10 on a usb stick and insert the usb stick in the pc and spam f10 or f3 if you don’t know, watch a YouTube tutorial how to install windows 10 with an usb stick

[thorny steeple]

[cursive estuary]

you don't even need to re install it

you just need to fix the bootloader

which can be done in a repair tool that comes when you boot the iso

[subtle swallow]

Hey

I'll mess around a bit

[cursive estuary]

sup

[subtle swallow]

Great and you

[cursive estuary]

I'm doing cool, reading a book

[thorny steeple]

What book? Where's my song?

[cursive estuary]

[thorny steeple]

[subtle swallow]

Great, what field do you like

[cursive estuary]

I couldn't came up with anything tbh, would you please forgive my boldness, It would be a dishonor to insult you with my lack of lyrical skills

[thorny steeple]

Omg

[cursive estuary]

I've been studying computers my whole life, but I'm tired of it at this point, so I decided to spend my free time doing more interesting things, so at this moment I'm more into social sciences

mainly economics, but also philosophy and psychology, just to broad my knowledge I don't pretend to specialize in any of them

[subtle swallow]

I wish you success

[cursive estuary]

Thanks man

[subtle swallow]

I have a BA in Finance and Accounting, and I also like political readings

[cursive estuary]

That's very cool, I used to work in that field for some time, do you work for a firm/bank or something the like?

[subtle swallow]

Not quite, but I have taken some practical work from contractors and some small businesses

[prisma cipher]

[cursive estuary]

I see mate, I hope you do well, do you plan to advance further in your studies?

[subtle swallow]

Thanks

Of course, I am preparing for a master's degree in human resources, and I am also studying the field of communications. I will obtain a high technical certificate after 6 months.

[ornate siren]

Mamma mia, @vernal crypt I'd like to hear you sing Bohemian Rhapsody.

[ornate siren]

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

You people have the best-est convos when I sleep.

[thorny steeple]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DCWJsfNsMPU?feature=share

[ornate siren]

That is, apart from the insomniacs like sister @thorny steeple

[thorny steeple]

Just I bit! I watched this and wanted to share! 🥰

[thorny steeple]

No one here too

[thorny steeple]

I am, if anything

[thorny steeple]

Heyyy

How are you? Any topic for this chat?

I'm great, and how are you doing?

Not really, I like to indulge in conversations suggested by others, not me

Should you propose a topic, I'd gladly discuss it

[thorny steeple]

I already proposed a few hours ago, but I guess everyone is busy right now. I am the insomniac one! 🤣

And I'm good! Thanks for asking! 🥰

[brisk cove]

Would you like to talk about the philosophy of left libertarianism?
Let's start with background info.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-libertarianism

[thorny steeple]

Fair enough:D So your topic was the dopamine detox - aka the understimulated society?

[pearl condor]

all the non native english speakers i have seen use better grammar & bigger words than native

it is insane

[brisk cove]

im fluent but its unnecessary to talk in formalities all the time

[thorny steeple]

In this channel, you mean?

[pearl condor]

in general

[thorny steeple]

It's hard to estimate fluency just by the big words one uses

[brisk cove]

I'd say fluency could be defined by the ideas expressed by the person

[thorny steeple]

It all comes down to the understanding and adaptation of the language, I believe

[brisk cove]

Also if the person exuberates the EDGE method
E - Explain
D - Demonstrate
G - Guide
E - Enable

This is a tried and true method to know if the person is capable of teaching something, for example, a language like English

[thorny steeple]

Fair enough

[brisk cove]

It came from Boy Scouts, and it is a guiding principle in teaching people practical hands-on skills.

Oh yea, and big words just mean you read the dictionary too much

Good writing cuts out fluff and expresses ideas coherently.

And they express complex ideas that are ahead of the curve.

If you're able to write a thesis paper about geopolitics (ahem which I did)
and you get an A, chances are, you're very fluent

tl;dr: The usage of words and jargon to express ideas and teach ppl is the ultimate measure of fluency in a language, or in a skill actually.

So none of that feynman technique and all that hustle culture trying to figure out how to do pomodoro technique

[thorny steeple]

This isn't exactly accurate

[brisk cove]

The point is to make people appreciate education and incetivize passion for the humanities and the sciences or whatever

[brisk cove]

ok?

that is not the spirit of what i was saying

Go back to the main idea.

[thorny steeple]

Specific topics require specific vocabulary and knowledge, writing an essay on something doesn't exactly prove you're fluent

[brisk cove]

Do you know what thesis papers are?

[thorny steeple]

I do

[brisk cove]

It has reference pages and citations in either APA or MLA

I read through fourty pages that my professor put up and I was working on it the whole semester.

The sources I filtered through to even come up with something resembling something intelligent came out as a 6 page paper on Central and South American geopolitics.

Oh yea, and the professor was rated terribly, but I got an A because I took him seriously despite his flaws

[thorny steeple]

Well, wonderful for you, but that's a mere factor in deciding the level of your fluency

[brisk cove]

Yes, but saying that it's just a mere factor is just stating the obvious

Because fluency is subjective

Depending on your job and the amount of soft skills you need

give me a sec to find a chart

[sonic lion]

This discussion seems interesting

[thorny steeple]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to prove that you're not fluent, but I believe some people would get the wrong idea from your speech here

[brisk cove]

that's true
there's a certain amount of gatekeeping of knowledge that happens
for a place like discord, you have to know your audience most ppl arent that good at reading comprehensio and they just skim

[thorny steeple]

As in thinking that fluency is a permanent state dependant on one or just a few components

[brisk cove]

its kind of the curse of knowledge tbh

[thorny steeple]

You're welcome to join!

[sonic lion]

Thank you!

[thorny steeple]

Naturally, everything is subjective. That's the reason we need to have certain definitions, otherwise discussion(s) is(are) futile

[brisk cove]

Honestly, when you are so smart and try to explain ideas in a way that people need to interpret for themselves, like, for example, social progressive libertarianism, then you need to have a certain amount of background knowledge going into it.

If I were to enter a class with Data Structures, then I better know how to code a double nested loop before I can make queues and lists and classes that are combined together, etc.

[thorny steeple]

I was wondering about it too! I don't want to create a bad habit of writting everything incorrect or in bad grammar.

[brisk cove]

The beauty is that we are uncovering new things and updating our knowledge using the scientific method instead of just winging it.

Scientific consens is a very important concept for STEM literacy

[sonic lion]

Pyro, what are your major?

You seem to be a liberal arts student

[brisk cove]

Used to be CS, then CIS then Data Analyst and I'm going to graduate in december 2024

I amassed quite a lot of knowledge from reading a lot, so I'm not a liberal arts student,. I just like to learn how the world works.

[thorny steeple]

That's true

[brisk cove]

My degree is just part passion and part means to the end.

Also pays good $ to make comfy living

I heard in ATL it is about $75k

[sonic lion]

I’m the opposite, a liberal arts student who likes to learn nature sciences

[brisk cove]

Cool.

[sonic lion]

What do you read?

[thorny steeple]

What of nature science interests you?

[brisk cove]

Uh, I read physical textbooks for college, but I used to read a lot of dystopian novels and read a lot for class and read thoroughly through a lot of textbooks.
I like psychology, but I think I'd rather care about sociology for now to get a double major in data analyst and sociology.

I might get a minor in psychology idk since i seem to love psychology lmao

[sonic lion]

I really enjoy astronomy since I was a kid. I’m currently preparing to self study pure math, i’m mastering the basics (I know math is not a nature science but anyway)

[brisk cove]

I don't really care about history or military history bc it's merely a hobby.

[brisk cove]

What stage of math you studying?

[brisk cove]

oh yea and astronomy is pretty cool i got a merit badge and looked at the north star and identified constellations with my own eyes and it was a nice night

[sonic lion]

That’s interesting. I’m a psych student and thinking about doing my masters in social psychology to study sociology too

But I think i’m going for neuroscience

[sonic lion]

Pre-calculus

[thorny steeple]

Oh, that's nice to hear! Astronomy is a subject I'm keen on, too

[sonic lion]

But I switch to algebra since there’s a lot of little rules I didn’t remembered

[thorny steeple]

Although pop astronomy isn't for me, I prefer astrophysics

[brisk cove]

okay i am going to try to recommend you a tool that my bro has and that i used to have as well

Pre-calc involve a lot of triangles, sine, cosine, and tangent. A lot of formulas based off this, and the word problems you will have to make sure you're fluent and can comprehend what they're asking.

[sonic lion]

Recognizing constellations is such a pleasure. But I start thinking about scales when I look up to the sky and I just got kinda sad

[thorny steeple]

Way to go! Neuroscience is puzzling but fascinating

[sonic lion]

That’s why I’m learning calculus, so I can study physics. It seems so hard tho

[thorny steeple]

Which field of physics would you like to learn?

[sonic lion]

Wait, imma find the english translation

[thorny steeple]

Well, it's true that everything you haven't learned seems hard. Get yourself into theoretical physics:DD

[sonic lion]

Is it undulatory?

I think it is

I’m really interested in astrophysics and undulatory, if that’s the name in english

[thorny steeple]

Undulation, you mean?

Like oscillation, waves?

[sonic lion]

Yes!

Photons, energy

Energy is so mysterious tho

[sonic lion]

Theoretical physics is so appealing

[thorny steeple]

Fundamental particles, then?

[sonic lion]

I once met a guy here that told that solving physics problems were a huge pleasure

[sonic lion]

Yeah

[thorny steeple]

I believe you're referring to quantum physics, then

Or quantum mechanics

[thorny steeple]

It absolutely is

[thorny steeple]

How come?

[sonic lion]

I’m interested in acoustics

[thorny steeple]

Fair, fair

[sonic lion]

Physicists don’t really know what it is

It’s nature is kinda mysterious

[thorny steeple]

It's a regular movement of energy, isn't it?

They do know what it is, as far as I'm concerned

[sonic lion]

Maybe I’m really late in the game then, I remembered what Feynman said about it

“ a certain quantity which we can find out numerically, because it does not change with the various changes in nature. This is a very abstract idea, because it is a mathematical principle: there is a numerical quantity that does not change when something happens.”

abstract, that was what I was looking for

But I imagine that quantum physics is really abstract

[thorny steeple]

That I agree with

[sonic lion]

Are you a physics student?

You seem very educated in the subject

[thorny steeple]

I wouldn't agree, quantum physics studies the properties of most fundamental particles there are (on atomic and subatomic level)

[thorny steeple]

Oh, no, I haven't even graduated yet

[sonic lion]

I really like to imagine things, like Feynman did. Quantum Physics seem very hard to

[thorny steeple]

I'm not, really, but I take interest in it

[sonic lion]

Damn. How old are you?

[thorny steeple]

Sixteen. And you, if I may ask?

[sonic lion]

If only I was like that when I was sixteen lol

I’m 18

[thorny steeple]

Don't have regrets, I'm sure you're a very knowledgeable person yourself

[thorny steeple]

Well, keep interest and you will, hopefully, one day understand it

[sonic lion]

Yes, you’re right, I suppose

I just dedicated my teen years to art

So i’m very uneducated in science

[thorny steeple]

I wouldn't say you're uneducated (in science)! You yourself said you're fascinated by exact sciences

If you seek knowledge, to me that already means you are educated

[thorny steeple]

That's wonderful, still

It is quite difficult to maintain advanced curiosity in such unalike fields

[sonic lion]

I’m flattered. I think I was just said that I was better at humanities because I liked to read and write that I neglected those subjects

But i’m really happy studying them

[sonic lion]

Yes yes, you’re right

Btw, do you plan going for stem?

[thorny steeple]

What's past is past

[thorny steeple]

If you ask if I'm planning to study STEM related subjects, then yes

[sonic lion]

That’s really cool

Anything specific?

[thorny steeple]

And you're studying arts, is that right?

[thorny steeple]

Quantum mechanics, I'd say

[sonic lion]

I study psychology! I want to be a researcher in neuroscience

[thorny steeple]

I've found myself neglecting expertise in humanitarian subjects due to excessive interest in exact science

[thorny steeple]

Psychology is absolutely fascinating

[sonic lion]

But I have a lot of art hobbies and still educate myself in art

[thorny steeple]

That's also great

I like a psychology book for me from time to time

[sonic lion]

The hardest one. But fascinating. Good choice

[thorny steeple]

Thank you!

What do you mean, like us?

[pearl condor]

no. they like math

math is bad because it is math

i suggest learning about insects

[thorny steeple]

What's stopping you, then?

[pearl condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjOrWcfxJ70

[thorny steeple]

Any more profound reasons?

[junior depot]

Cant add fractions 🗣️🗣️

[sonic lion]

What keeps me going is politics. Sociology and history are so interesting because you can make direct observations from your reality

[thorny steeple]

@sonic lion , what do you like about psychology specifically?

[sonic lion]

Biology is great too, but plants are better than animals. I mean, more fascinating

[thorny steeple]

Oh, politics, that I do despise. I see your point, but I find history and geopolitics and such sciences to be... rather inaccurate

[fluid goblet]

I like jungian psychology

[junior depot]

So start studying bruh

[fluid goblet]

the theory of the collective uncontious is fascinating

and also the archetypes of the human psyche

[sonic lion]

I really like neuroscience because it’s precise. But also nothing is certain because every human is different.
What made me want to study it was Dostoevsky, I simply can go on and on about the human experience. I also really liked philosophy when I was in highschool

I love writing my little essays

[thorny steeple]

Unconscious, you meant?

[fluid goblet]

my bad

[junior depot]

Often times have i seen people romanticize jungian concepts such as the shadow

Seems to be a common factor within every science

[fluid goblet]

the shadow of God and the 4th part of the trinity?

or some other thing

[junior depot]

Although psychology is hardly considered science

[sonic lion]

I thought exactly the same until I discover Marx. Then, everything started to make sense. And it changed me and the way I see the world, obviously

[fluid goblet]

debatable, it's just harder to experiment on

[thorny steeple]

That's delightful! I myself have tried to read Dostojewski, failed a few times... miserably so

[fluid goblet]

bc data coming from therapist's patients usually need to be kept confidential

[junior depot]

"Carl Jung warns us against the dangers of the collective shadow (the unknown dark side of society) and urges us to develop our personal shadow (the unknown dark side of our personality) to be consciously aware of the collective shadow and not fall prey to it."

[sonic lion]

It’s a social science.

[fluid goblet]

interesting, im still reading on the archetypes though :P

[junior depot]

Questionable nonetheless, very interesting thats for sure

[thorny steeple]

Interesting

[junior depot]

Seems so abstract to me but thats merely an opinion

[cursive estuary]

I'm not an ignorant tho, I've studied my ass off too, is just that I wasted a bunch of time 👍

[sonic lion]

He’s hard to get to! Try to read Kafka’s letter to his father or Fernando Pessoa’s the book of despair. They’re both deeply psychological but easy to read

[thorny steeple]

I haven't heard much of Carl Jung, but it sure sounds captivating, 'collective shadow'

[fluid goblet]

carl jung, the father of analytical psychology

[junior depot]

Yeah, gotta warn you though its a long ass read, watching videos is always better

[thorny steeple]

Yes, Kafka I have read, I'll be sure to try Pessoa out! One of the reasons I gave up on Dostojewski was because I tried reading it in the original Russian, too

[junior depot]

YOU KNOW RUSSIAN?

[sonic lion]

At least in Brazil the people consider it as a pseudoscience so no one takes it seriously for a clinical treatment

[thorny steeple]

Well, that is past now, isn't it? You can always try again and seek to fulfil your goals

[sonic lion]

But it’s interesting tho

[thorny steeple]

I speak some, yes. Do you?

[cursive estuary]

I've read "The liber novus " from Jung it was a pretty cool soul concept introspection

[junior depot]

Nah but i find slavic languages amusing

[thorny steeple]

How so?

[junior depot]

Different alphabet mostly, and pronunciation sounds hot

[cursive estuary]

Cyrillic is cool af

[sonic lion]

Everyone that likes him wish to read him in the original. Try to read in english and then read in russian. Btw, which one do you started by?

[sonic lion]

Fr it’s so beautiful

[junior depot]

I learned it with duolingo lmao but then gave up. Might retry after im done with french

[thorny steeple]

Crime and Punishment. Wonderful choice, wasn't it?

[thorny steeple]

Yeah, but learning it is hell

[junior depot]

Honestly its very easy with duolingo

[thorny steeple]

One of the reasons I speak and not write or read Russian

[junior depot]

Took like 3 weeks to learn the letters

[thorny steeple]

I don't trust Duolingo in many aspects, especially pronunciation

[sonic lion]

That’s a heavy one to start and it’s so political! One more reason to study sociology

[cursive estuary]

you can learn the alphabet in 4 hours more or less

[thorny steeple]

But the English translation is not that beautiful... It's like reading poetry in another language, never the same

[junior depot]

Aye but i did like one 3 min lesson per day

[fluid goblet]

I dont see how it would be used in clinical treatment

[cursive estuary]

oof

[sonic lion]

Right? Poetry is untranslatable. But idk, I read it in portuguese and the translation was so good.

[sonic lion]

In psychoanalysis

[thorny steeple]

Well, fair enough, I'll try to read it in my native language

[sonic lion]

You need to know the politics of the book

Dostoevsky was in the socialist party at the time. He got arrested for conspiracy agains the Czar

When sentenced to death

But got free in the last minute

[thorny steeple]

Yes, that I do know

[sonic lion]

So he wrote the book

[cursive estuary]

Dostoyevsky really dodged that death sentence lmao

I won't say so, I've just read the main ones, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy

[thorny steeple]

Hello, how are you, then?

[junior depot]

Notes from the underground is good for reflexing

[thorny steeple]

I am, thank you. Good to hear

[junior depot]

@thorny steeple are u german?

[fluid goblet]

yet jungian therapy is effective

[cursive estuary]

The despair reflected

[junior depot]

Eating cheeseburger wit no honey mustard

[thorny steeple]

No, that's just my nickname

[sonic lion]

You can see how Raskolnikov believes that by killing the old lady he would make the world better, since she lives by rent and not by work - don’t produce value in society - just like the bourgeoisie

Just like some socialists today that believes that killing some billionaires would wend class struggle

[thorny steeple]

Also, I agree very much so. Knowing the context and the situation in which the book was written really helps to perceive it in a clearer way

[sonic lion]

It depends a lot on the therapist, idk

[fluid goblet]

even soup?

[junior depot]

Banana with greek yogurt and honey

[cursive estuary]

it's true, but I always end up revolving in the same set of feelings regardless

[sonic lion]

Literature is the reflection of men in it’s time, understanding the historical context is fundamental

[thorny steeple]

Agreed

[sonic lion]

But the greatest part in crime and punishment is Raskolnikov. Just insane development in the psychology of the character

It’s fascinating

I love his contradictions

How he’s altruistic and misanthropic at the same time

[thorny steeple]

Shame he didn't see the same bourgeoisie's property taken away to collectives

[thorny steeple]

You seem very well informed on this subject

[sonic lion]

I think a lot about that. Plus, it’s so impressive that he was criticizing some socialists at the time

Instead of writing about the Czar he made some self criticism

I want to get in Turgueniev so bad! What a shame I didn’t yet, sorry

[thorny steeple]

He is regarded as one of the best Russian writers, after all

[sonic lion]

I love art. I can talk about movies and books all day

[thorny steeple]

That's wonderful!

[thorny steeple]

By the way, have you read Aitmatov, then?

[sonic lion]

Not at his time tho. His writing wasn’t considered beautiful like the acclaimed french authors. But how are you going to write about the human psyche if not obsessively, hugely detailed and messy?

[thorny steeple]

No, naturally not, nowadays, I mean

[sonic lion]

I didn’t! :/
I want to get into more russian authors, but I want to finish Dostoevsky’s books first.
I’m currently reading american authors

[vernal crypt]

Try Barbara Kingsolver
She's quite brilliant

[thorny steeple]

Hello

[thorny steeple]

Aitmatov is Kyrgyz, but yes. I have read few American novels

[sonic lion]

Indeed. But it’s interesting to see how rarely today’s geniuses were appreciated at their time

Like Kafka. It breaks my heart that he died thinking he was a failure and asked his friend to bury all his work

[sonic lion]

Thank you, I will! I’m always up to female perspectives

[thorny steeple]

Many still are underappreciated today

[thorny steeple]

Hello and welcome

[thorny steeple]

Thanks

[sonic lion]

true

[vernal crypt]

She's a biologist but writes both fiction and non fiction.

[sonic lion]

Which one would you recommend?

I also really like non fiction

[thorny steeple]

By the way, gotta dip now

Thank you for inviting me in to such conversation!

[lavish finch]

There's something called a role lock.

Sometimes when a person has a way of behaving that gets them into trouble

They will unconsciously seek out others to get into even more trouble.

When two people behaving in these self destructive ways come together, they support each other in destroying themselves.

Even though its extremely self destructive, the relationship has a strong attraction.

Each participant feels pulled into it.

And they are extremely repetative.

You've probably seen countless examples of such relationships.

[cursive estuary]

I need to find a person who happens to be in role lock asap

[lavish finch]

The roles people take on in role locks have many various names.

For example, victim, bully, leader, follower, person who needs help, person who wants to help, rebel, savior, and many more.

Hello trismegisto

Do you have an interest in understanding role locks?

Groups have a funny way of encouraging people to take on certain roles.

In ways that are not always to the benefit of the persons being encouraged.

They use members to work through certain issues that the group as a whole are struggling with.

Issues that the group faces as a whole get acted out in specific members.

This is called scapegoating.

The group's issue, whatever it is, gets shoved into someone.

Sometimes people will even volunteer to be the scapegoat for the group.

Unfortunately, when this happens, the group as a whole loses the opportunity to understand the issue the group is facing.

And instead becomes completely focused on the person that has taken up the scapegoat role.

Is anyone following along?

[slate mesa]

I'm dropping in and out between classes. But group dynamics is something I'm interested in and have studied since my days in the army.

[lavish finch]

Hi Sebjin

[devout shale]

@lavish finch that's interesting

[lavish finch]

Hi Synth

What kind of dynamics did you study in the army, Sebjin?

[slate mesa]

Haven't read much about the concept "Role lock", but I can see it in my students. Some kids take on a certain role in the class, and sometimes that role can stick with the for years

[lavish finch]

Yes

[slate mesa]

Well I was a recon team and platoon leader. We read about a few different group dynamic theories, mainly DISC and Wheelan

[lavish finch]

I don't know them. Would you like to tell us about them?

[slate mesa]

I can go into more detail later when I have some more time, but in general you can say that DISC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness & Compliance) is a theory of identifying different personalities within a group. Wheelan's theory is more about the different stages a group can go through.

[lavish finch]

I see

[slate mesa]

Their purpose is to teach you how to identify different personalities and roles within a group, as well as identifying what stage a group is currently in, so that you as a leader can guide the group to becoming an effective team

I have a class now, but I'll be back later this afternoon, and we can discuss it further.

[lavish finch]

Sure

(leaving)

[thorny steeple]

I found it haha nice singing

@thorny steeple

[thorny steeple]

James del Rey

[nimble idol]

how is it going guys?

just some assistance from you?

how could i improve my speaking skill in english ? and how long does it take to master speaking skill?

and should i expand more vocabulary to speak well

[devout shale]

real Lana been quite silent since this dropped

[thorny steeple]

You see the impact

Synth why did you change your name?

[devout shale]

[thorny steeple]

It's so cool but I didn't read everything yet

I used to receive more books than what I was able to read 🤭

Let me see if I can take the photo now

[devout shale]

i only read Valis from him, quite an autobiografy on steroids

[thorny steeple]

These ones I keep in my wardrobe, my book shelf are so full 🤣

[devout shale]

i want to read more from him, he was such an interesting figure

[devout shale]

i watched many documentaries about him

[thorny steeple]

Oh tell more!!

[trim sapphire]

[thorny steeple]

It's a sci-fi author and it's not adult stories, if you're wondering. Lol 😆

[trim sapphire]

[devout shale]

he was a tormented soul that directed his issues and life event into his writings

[thorny steeple]

Eletric dreams inspired Blade Runner @devout shale did you know that?

It's such an amazing movie!!

[devout shale]

yea, i saw it

[thorny steeple]

Both movies! I watch the second one in the movies.

A m a z I n g g g

[devout shale]

planning to watch again

[thorny steeple]

Very good!

[devout shale]

[devout shale]

didnt watch it yet 😕

[thorny steeple]

Damn this movie is very beautiful visually!!

The colors, the ambience

In the first one, I liked the figurine

[thorny steeple]

That's why I didn't read much tbh. I was much more interested in Asimov's stories. They are more hmmm idk the word for it.

[granite pagoda]

Heyýyy Wass up

[thorny steeple]

It's like he's a sociologist, may I say.

Very cool!

[granite pagoda]

Aww well

[thorny steeple]

Hii

[devout shale]

yes, he was the author of three laws of robotics

[granite pagoda]

Hyyy

[thorny steeple]

YESSS OMG those are my favorite books! The robot series!!! I love them !!

I want to read it again.

[devout shale]

im going to read them when i can!

I Robot, movie with Will Smith was inspired by asimov writings also

[thorny steeple]

Most of those very popular movies are from these authors 🥰

But most people don't like to read as much as they like to watch stuffs so ... They're more popular.

[devout shale]

right, but reading is more rewarding

[devout shale]

hey

[thorny steeple]

Both ways are cool! But one thing that reading gives you its the hability to make your imagination better. And it's a very good skill to have!

[devout shale]

right

[thorny steeple]

Do you like to read?

[devout shale]

yes but i should read more

[thorny steeple]

I guess I don't read much now. 🤣

[devout shale]

i guess because you are focused on your projects also

[thorny steeple]

Yes, and lately I've been enjoying being here

And talk with people. It has been making good to me.

[devout shale]

same

[thorny steeple]

Are you introvert?

[slate mesa]

I would recommend looking at some YouTube videos about pronounciation and phonetics. Having a good pronounciation is based on how well you can shape the vowel and consonant sounds with your mouth. Different languages shape sounds differently.

[devout shale]

mostly yes but i like being around good people

[thorny steeple]

Got it.

[devout shale]

and you?

[thorny steeple]

1000000%

I have good social skills but ...

[devout shale]

😄

[thorny steeple]

[devout shale]

i think introvert vs extrovert depends on how you recharge your "batteries" if being around people or by yourself

[thorny steeple]

Yes!

What I personally mean is that I prefer to spend most of my time alone or with a very few people than in parties or those stuff. Nothing against it too!

[devout shale]

introvert are exhausted by too much social interaction, extrovert are exhausted by too much isolation

and they recharge in opposite ways
