This post is created to prevent me from flooding the community with more of my low-quality showerthoughts. This post violates community rule 2. Explanation will be added when I finished writing them. Most of the following statements are lame or untrue.

  1. There seems to be no physical media transfer system that nicely demonstrate circuit-switching.

    Bus lane exists and can be seen as a kind of TDM.

  2. The letter J is used much more frequently in 6502 assembly.

    Unfortunately, jumps are unconditional. Branching is used much more frequently.

  3. Arguments against porn and sex toys can also be used to oppose huggable stuffed toys.

    Personally, I feel that banning porns is absurd, but an (questionable) argument against porn goes as follows:

    People improve themselves to get married to have sex with their partners. Porns and sex toys enable people to fulfill their sexual desire without self-improvement. Since people are lazy, those that are not good enough to get married will stop improving themselves. Therefore, we need to ban porn.

    ——A professor at my local collage

    By the same a similar “logic”, plushies should be banned, too.

  4. Contempt (insult?) of cops should be legal.

    Personal opinion. (It’s illegal in Taiwan)

  5. Market dulls one’s sense of morality.

    In my view, market abstract all the horrible deeds that big companies have done into a single number — stock prices. The stockholder might not know that.

  6. Punishments against corporations should be especially severe.

  7. Chinese is good at making names short, but terrible at making names extremely short.

    Example: Transmission Control Protocol vs. 傳輸控制協議 vs. TCP; Requests for Comments vs. 請求意見稿 vs. RFC

It’s 15:10 here. I want to sleep.

    1 - huh?

    2 - huh?

    3 - wild. What’s that like, thinking that the only reason to marry is to fuck? Is your professor okay?

    4 - where are you that it’s not? Afaik, in most places considered “developed” you can dislike police as much as you please. There may be consequences if you resist their actions but that’s a different issue.

    5 - I don’t know if I agree that it’s “market” (because if your neighbour has chickens and you have a cow and you trade your milk for their eggs that’s a market) but the complexity of modern production and global trade. There’s just no way anyone can really understand all the processes so there is necessarily a level of abstraction that alienates you from what is happening at the other end.

    6 - duh.

    7 - sure lol

        I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

            Ah, if you INSULT a police officer, that’s what’s punishable. That’s actively antagonising them, not just not liking them.

            Mind you, I don’t think insulting a police officer should hold any more severe punishment than insulting anyone else. So yeah, that’s bullshit.

            I’m in Germany, there’s a common myth that “Beamtenbeleidigung”, insulting an official, is a criminal offence. It’s not - if you insult anyone, regardless of their job, they can sue. Police are just more likely to actually go through with that because they have a reputation to uphold.

    I don’t think the 3rd one follows, and isn’t the 4th one a thing everywhere? ACAB is a very popular slogan and sentiment! 5: if usury is a sin and reaping what you did not sow is immoral, then yes, it follows that the whole market is sinful and immoral. When it comes to the 6th one, I’d say that companies cannot or shouldn’t really be “punished” but any decision maker in the company certainly can and should be if he’s a corrupt enemy of humanity etc etc. I don’t know anything about the other points, but Chinese cuisine is my second favourite and Romance of the Three Kingdoms slaps!

      I have a PhD in BSology so I may be able to help:

      1. OP is frustrated that bus drivers in the Turkish Domestic Market don’t have an easy way to exchange music CDs between each other.
      1. 6502 is a type of processor that uses little 8-bit Indians and as we both know, there are a lot of important and prominent figures in Hinduism that have names beginning with the letter “J”. Leading to an above average percentage of Indian men with names that start with “J”. Such as Jimmy from Texas who would like remote access to your PC so he can remove that pesky virus you got from a no-no website.
      1. This is a personal anecdote about some guy they call professor from OP’s art collage club that got caught up with Jimmy from Texas after visiting a no-no website so now they have a personal vendetta against videos about recreational procreation.
      1. OP also had a run-in with Jimmy from Texas after visiting a no-no website but surprise, Jimmy turned out to be a scammer who stole NFTs from OP’s PC and the cops couldn’t do anything about it as they have no jurisdiction over decentralized digital markets.
      1. OP ranting about how they can’t recover their stolen NFTs.
      1. (NFT rant part 2)
      1. OP used an ancient alien language to say Jimmy’s Mom is “looser than an old screen door” as well as claiming that one time, Jimmy’s Mom was sitting on her porch in a dress with her legs open, when a blind man walked by. The blind man stopped, sniffed a few times and said “I must have gotten lost and ended up at the fish market again”.

      I hope that clears things up for you
