is dissensus dead?

[william kent]

Weather's definitely a downer.

I only read the news a lot when I'm depressed, don't bother, watch funny videos of cats on YouTube , don't let them bathe you in misery, its all pointless anyway

 

[william kent]

I find the funny cat video route pretty depressing too. Feels completely mindnumbing and as though you're letting the algorithm take hold.

No youre right

 

[muser]

I started watching that and my heart sunk after a few seconds

Where'd @nomos go?

 

[luka]

Academia. Institutionalisation.

 

[shiels]

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't have much energy or enthusiasm atm. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's connected to my starting to read a lot of news again.

Same. and have been quiet because of work and life things. It's been busy around here lately though when I've dropped in which is good

 

[luka]

Yesterday was really slow. I think we can burrow down and get serious now the nights are drawing in.

 

[boxedjoy]

Fine I'll post more dancing anecdotes and Marxist critiques of rave

 

[luka]

Sounds good! Marxism is banned unless you can invent your own apocalyptic variant like third has done though. It's just too much of a drag unfortunately. We had to cancel it.

slow night

I love it here, I post on this forum more than any other nowadays...

But I think us newcomers probably ruined it a bit by posting up too many youtube links etc. The standard of discussion on here was much higher in the past (from searching through old threads) - or much more interesting/provocative, at least. I think perhaps the new generation of dissensians should lay down their swords and let the french theory spouting maniacs of old return. We could make a spin-off forum called ''Only Built 4 Youtube Linx''.

Jack loves it.

slow night

my mate called from Khartoum he says everything is totally fine

 

[Leo]

Jack loves it.

he wrote that 10 years ago.

 

[sus]

The "he loves it" [2011 timestamp] is ironically undercut by Jack Law's recent absence. Luka is both calling out Jack Law for his absence, and making a joke for the forum.

 

[woops]

there's a lot of interesting discussion on here now and a lot of aggression too i wonder if they always go together.
