WMAF is starting to concern me because it is creating a master race of gigs stacy foids. I'm noticing them everywhere. They give off an aura of intimidating elitism, they have none of the weaknesses of white succubi (stupidity, lack of femininity etc) they are highly intelligent and competitive.
I'm afraid the future will be one of half asian foids ruling over everyone else

General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?

I hate cyberpunk 2077, it failed at depict a cyberpunk. it mimics cyberpunk and looks like a gta game in the future they should have made the game based on the genre and not only mike pondsmith's table top rpg game.
It is lame compared to other cyberpunk games (example: deus ex).
I hate cyberpunk 2077 for another reason too; it is that when you type cyberpunk 2077 in the search bar, every results is about cyberpunk 2077. the results are 99% of the time about cp2077 (it completly broke the genre on internet). cp2077 was a mistake to me and a burdden for the genre.
But now that the game exist, it is good because now you can separate the bad cyberpunk media from the good ones (and cp2077 is a bad one!).
about cp2077, is now normalfags think what is cyberpunk is what they saw in cp2077 (neons, shitty rap music,…).
anyway, enough of cp2077. I only played 10 minutes of the game.

>What cyberpunk media (game, book, music,etc…) did you consum?

>Is your life High tech, Low life?

"The future is here. It’s just not widely distributed yet." William Gibson
there's some elements of cyberpunk in real life but cyberpunk is just far away from reality. just take surfing in the virtual world (cyberpsace) and using internet on the computer or even cyborg arms/legs. Or megacorporations, but yeah william gibson is right, we have cyberpunk things in reality.

RANDOM THOUGHTS ON CYBERPUNK
-I like the neo-tokyo city in Akira. it make so much sense to me to build an artificial island on tokyo bay with neverlasting buildings.

-I also like Kowloon walled city. maybe the most cyberpunk area to ever exist. If I was about to make a video game on cyberpunk, I'd add a kowloon level haha!

-One thing I don't like is flying cars. when you see cyberpunk cities, they have roads but if flying cars exist, better make all cars flying therfore not making roads. I don't want to it to turn into the fifth elements. The cars must no fly. or only for ambulances, firefighters and police. so to me cars shouldn't fly

As I remember it, Willaim Gibson has denied being the inventor of cyberpunk and has said that there was no need for anyone to coin the term cyberpunk since dystopian scifi has a long history and that trying to codify terms for tiny subgenres tends to cheapen the sense of intentiveness and exploration you can get out of scifi. Other people spent decades calling Gibson the "Father of Cyberpunk" and after a half century of other people calling him that I think Mr. Gibson has stopped fighting it.

The term "cyberpunk" first appeared as the title of a short story by Bruce Bethke, written in 1980 and published in Amazing Stories in 1983. The name was picked up by Gardner Dozois, editor of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, and popularized in his editorials.

Apologies, I didn't mean to post that post like that. I had a much larger post in mind but accidentally hit post. I wanted to avoid the word claims to not start a flame war.
My issue is more that people use his definition to define what Cyberpunk is, his definition is nonsensical and sociological, trying to grift off the punk part of the word for edgy pol reasons.
In actual fact Cyberpunk as we know started with Bladerunner, it's an aesthetic, arguably then the best thing Ridley Scott has ever invented.

I have a better definition of my own that i think is just plain better and self evident.
Cyberpunk is near future scifi and deals with the powerplay over information technology or data. It's about hackers, cyber security, new cyber technology, mass surveillance any thing to do with information technology scifi.
As opposed to regular scifi which deals with exotic forms of energy manipulation, aliens and other far out physics, biological and chemical concepts.
Cyberpunk is purely about information tech. Lets just say data, so we avoid "IT" as the term.

Cyberpunk 2077 was indeed poorly executed, but I think creating a cyberpunk work is always some type of gamble and they took their shot, based on their views of what a dystopian future would look like.
I think Ghost In The Shell achieved great success in its gamble, predicting a very relevant and realistic dystopian future. Even the music, specially the works of Yoko Kanno for the SAC anime, hit that style that makes you believe it could be "the music of the future". It all makes sense in GITS, and good writing definitely has great impact on that, as well as environmental design, character design, etc.
At the end of the day it's all about personal taste, wiz, there's no objectively better cyberpunk themed universe, they are just different, maybe there was less creative effort put into the creation of the CyPk2077 but it's influential now and we have to deal with it.

what you say about cp2077 is true and it makes me sad because cp2077 is the most well known piece of cyberpunk media in this era

Why do Baby Boomers seem to have no taste for movies before their time? Not even before their time, but before their 20s or even 30s. In my personal life I've never seen one bother with any movie from before 1965, or even before 1970 for a lot of them, and they all speak of old movies from before then with a tone of total contempt. They grew up with old cowboy movies and seeing John Wayne, but as adults seem to have zero nostalgia for those films.

Contrast that with Millennials, and even older zoomers, who grew up watching 80s movies, and remember them fondly and still soyface over them hard. 1980 is as far away from the present as 1935 is to 1980.

Was stuff like Casablanca and Little Shop Around the Corner playing on TV all the time in the 1980s? It just seemed like the late 1960s was a hard cultural reset and for that generation, they put away their childhood to a degree Millennials never did, to a point where they don't even venture into that territory at all for nostalgia.

Like I'm sure some of it is young people are peter pan syndrome man-children who can't move on, but at the other end it's uncanny that all the fondness boomers have for culture comes from their early adult life instead of childhood.

Your mention of self-memorialization reminds me of something I thought about a while back that I think is a good example. Let's take the song Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger. Just listen to the lyrics if you've somehow never heard it.

Hearing it today, the song might make sense in some way, but this is a song that was released in 1979. So what "old time" music is he referring to in the song? Bob Seger was born in 1945, so I think it's safe to assume we're talking about music from the 1950s, which would also be a normal starting place for considering early rock and roll as a genre. Elvis's career began around 1954 so we'll just use that.

So we have a song released in 1979 about music from around 1954 or so, that's a 25 year difference. This would be similar to if someone wrote a song about Linkin Park or Eminem or some shit, calling them "old time" music from the "days of old" enjoyed only by "relics" (not an insult, but a brag about oneself), contrasted with the soulless music of today.

After I realized this, the Bob Seger song became completely absurd. It's like an extreme degree of self-fellation of your own generation. That's how it seems to me at least. Deliberately turning your childhood into a cultural "landmark" of sorts. Probably no one at the time thought anything of it since baby boomers are too far up their own asses, and later generations just incorporate it into the mythology of the sacred "boomer childhood" immortalized in many other depictions of the 50s, etc.

Take pic related as another example? "Where were you in '62?" asks the poster of a film released in 1973, only 11 years later. Where were you in 2014? I think current generations, even if they're fond of their own nostalgia, aren't anywhere near as shameless as this.

Yeah, it's clear to me that media being recorded in permanent forms is huge. It seems like most people think human civilization started in 1945 after WWII. I know that a lot of historians/social scientists would mark the end of WWII as a global realignment, with Pax Americana beginning. I think that people's reference for "life" beginning with the 1940s is way more strongly influenced by the fact that that is when things began being able to be recorded. It is kind of crazy how big of an anchor the 50s and 60s are in the collective imagination. They were just 2 decades in the span of time.

I grew up poor in the 90s and we had a black and white tv for several years, because that's what my dad could afford. I've had friends that turned up their nose about older movies I love like the longest day, because their narrow life experience can't accept black and white films. I put these people in the same basket as picky eaters that make faces when you eat things that they themselves don't like.

Do you think bullying and shaming are good ways of changing someone's behavior?

i remember some years ago a wiz posted some work by psychologists or sociologists that showed that bullying was a behavior that naturally arises in groups of people above a certain number (7 or something), and that it was somewhat random, and that even people who had never been bullied before ended up experiencing it for the first time after being shuffled around groups enough times for the study
or something like that, i might be remembering some things wrong, but i'm interested if anyone can post it or mention whatever it was

 No.318189

Do you mean 'good' as in effective? Then the obvious correct answer is yes. Any person will definitely change behavior under stress. You just don't know the change you're causing. If OP meant change with a particular outcome in mind, then the answer gets complex and a binary response no longe applies, however, the post doesn't state any particular desired outcome from that change, so the answer remains yes.

 No.318215

Pretty much every bully i've ever encountered was severely mentally ill or just odd in some way, like being intellectually disabled.
Inevitably when this topic comes up theres people engaging in bully-worship for some strange reasons. Theres nothing to admire, bullies are dysfunctional people. It says more about society that bullying isn't treated extremely harshly.

Do you think it is okay to hurt animals? This means for food, sport, pleasure, or otherwise?

I look at the ways society treats animals, and I'm appalled. Mammals with complex social systems are kept in horrific conditions to produce meat, milk, and other animal products. Chicks are put into a blender live for the terrible crime of being the wrong gender.

It is rather appalling that people seem to so easily accept carnism despite the suffering that is behind the production of meat. Sure, animals make each other suffer and they also eat each other. However, unlike them, we have the choice to do differently. Yet so many don't. Eating meat is so, so horrifically cruel.

>The British pet massacre was an event in 1939 in which an estimated 750,000 cats and dogs, a quarter of England's pet population, were euthanized due to an aside in a pamphlet noting it as an option for people unable to take their pets with them when evacuating.
>The panic that led to the mass-euthanasia was groundless; there was no shortage of supplies, the German bombing was months away, and none of the fears that had lead to it were ever realized. Writing in The Great Cat and Dog Massacre, historian Hilda Kean says that the killings were a reaction against previous experiences with feral pets during World War I, but notes that another of the causes of the killings was boredom; the mass-euthenasia provided a way for ordinary citizens to feel like they were doing something to contribute to the war effort.
>boredom
>feel like they were doing something to contribute
>A year later, when London was bombed in September 1940, even more pet owners rushed to kill their pets. "People were worried about the threat of bombing and food shortages and felt it inappropriate to have the 'luxury' of a pet during wartime".
