right but their position relative to other letters form syllables and does have (some) rules. GIF GI-F, like Gi-raf-fe

You should see a doctor and stop eating peanuts immediately.

The J does what it wants

that's a single word. When we make acronyms, they're subject to the pronunciation rules of the new word they've become, not the word the letter is sourced from -- This is pretty obvious if you think about it for a minute.

It's NATO but we say atlantic It's SCUBA but we say underwater

That's how I feel about Giff though -- yuck what an ugly word.

I grew up eating Jif and we loved it

You'll have to show other examples of phonetic acronyms requiring their original word's pronunciation and not the word it's become.

it's not NA(h)TO

It's the new Thug

That's the guy on the right

Yeah it makes sense why evangelicals exist. It's just odd we let them pretend it's all real in public without mocking them. That one guy they let have a whole country filled with Rome's stolen gold and marble!

You should become evangelical equally around some weird Christian sect like Marcionism, who believe since God is eternal and OT god was so mean and NT god is so nice, they must be different gods!

yeah but if I really thought there was a skyman judger watching everyone and potentially dooming them to eternal hell, I'd tell them about it too. It's kind of shitty not to, though it is really obnoxious for us non sky-judge believers.

then why does language occur internally and create new things, like you say, if its only function is about moving information:

Why wouldn't this always be true, since we all suffer? How do you determine the max level of expected suffering to make it moral to have kids?

How do you even know which things are part of the self and which are 'external'? That feels arbitrary or a 'I know it when I see it' to me.

You could say the self is things you control but under any scrutiny in almost any domain that's not true for what we think of as 'self' either.

I agree solipsism isn't true, but I don't know that I agree you couldn't doubt the external world without language. I think language is just the mechanism we use to describe our inner thoughts. Math is 'real' and describes the world whether you use base 10 or 12 or don't know about math at all.

Don't gizzard my wizard

That's not a knife

I dunno why can't I stop eating sugar but other people can? I wasn't being shitty or dog whistling just trying to give a real answer that doesn't depend on others being inherently morally bankrupt, which I think is a form of othering that just leads to division and violence or worse historically. We're all just people made up of almost entirely the same parts.

Probably biologically a safety thing so you don't welcome in some neighbors that invade you or whatever.

More modernly, it's mostly opportunists and charlatans 'hacking' this phenomenon to build power.

The old animal part of the brain is way stronger and more developed than the logical 'civilization' parts.
