There are different degrees to it, though. Getting pulled back to a group of similar skill players is a lot easier to accept than getting pulled to the back of the pack because of something completely out of your control. In MK8 I've come close to double lapping people online and it's basically just doing a time trial at that point, which isn't a lot of fun. But then you've got MKWii where the first two laps feel totally pointless half the time because the whole race comes down to the last set of item boxes. Even when I do shoot from 12th to 1st it doesn't feel earned and the possibility that ranking manipulation might be the optimal strategy just feels wrong.

I think the goal should be to keep the tempo of the game up rather than to shuffle up the rankings. Keeping the pack together is good, but not at the expense of constantly forcing people to stop and wait for others to catch up.

I don't really see much rubberbanding in OJ, it just uses a deceptive progression system where normas get progressively harder to achieve. If you play towards the final goal, the only real redistribution mechanism is the bosses, but calculating that in is part of strategizing for each character. More of a balance thing for the retards who pick defensive characters than anything.

Basically a coin has value because of something that happened, it's not created with the value at the beginning. Rarity through time passing or an error or something like that makes it rare and desirable. If a resource has value like gold, then you want the pure resource and not the resource molded into something else which will then have its priced increased artificially.
An amazing collector's edition gold coin is made from like $50 of gold and sold for $500. It's a complete scam that preys on gullible people and it's a well known thing. I think it's even lead to investigations, but I could be wrong on that.

I try to be in the first camp but I keep finding myself in the second. I'm nice to strangers though and most of the time they're either nice or indifferent towards me.

I could get acquainted with most people just by acting normal, but I never tried to go any further than that since people tend to lose interest once they realise I'm an awkward spergtard with no normal hobbies and no social media accounts. But this goes both ways; I am not interested in making friends with people I have nothing in common with either.

We weren't certified. They showed up 10 minute video from the 1980s and turned us loose in a plant with about six other forklifts. It was fun drifting them. The flood was covered in detergent from all the used detergent bottles. They were supposed to put down quick dry but we never had any. So I spent my days slipping and sliding all over the place picking up 1,000 pound bails of plastic and loading them into massive machine. Would have been okay if that was all I did. But they expected me to run both machines I was loading with only one helper.

I've learned that it helps a lot to have a normal, socially acceptable interest. Ever since starting a garden I can make small talk about something that other people understand and it really makes things go smoothly. I can even make token complaints about the weather, which is itself a subject that seems to be a routine thing to talk about even when no one is truly interested in it.
Cooking would definitely fulfill the same purpose. I guess this is closer to how things are supposed to be.

>>126661
In practice with a a couple notable counterexamples (Trier), there's no continuity in the Germanic Kingdoms with Roman civic life with most of what was left of Rome being the various churches themselves. Otherwise the story of the early middle ages is "Radical material simplification" as urban demographics imploded and became more rural and isolate.
>>126669
I think most scholarship agrees the end of antiquity in the ERE was in the 7th century. The Empire totally reconfigured itself doing away with Rome's traditional delineation between civic/military authority and centralized heavily around Constantinople. The ruralization and demographic disaster they had mostly avoided started in earnest after the loss of Egypt.
Thessaloniki, which remained an important second city in the Empire so it didn't get the worst of it, went from several hundred thousand people to 50,000 tops during this period. Really this period of history turns Constantinople into the last Roman city, and the rest of the now Byzantine Empire into its military periphery.

I have an old fan, about a decade old, that still works. Personally the most important distinction of a good fan is that it makes consistent noise. It's important that it moves air, but it's also very important as a source of uhh.. white or grey or whatever color noise they call it. I can't stand silence when it comes to sleeping. This is one of the things that really sucks about online shopping, although it's also kind of rare that you get to hear them in person before you buy them, too. And that's why my fan is a decade old.

Why has this thing of a song becoming a meme not really happened on imageboards again? U.N Owen was her, Ievan Polkka, Caramelldansen and ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER are perhaps the biggest examples, but I remember back in 2010-2011 /v/ was in overdrive and going through a phase where a lot of catchy songs would become memes there. It started with HARMONY (Robot Unicorn Attack), then Fukkireta, then PONPONPON, etc. For /a/ and /jp/ I guess there's JIBUN WO, Hare Hare Yukai, the many catchy classic Touhou/Vocaloid songs, the /jp/ theme song, gachimuchi (gachimuchi also got popular on /v/, it's how it got transferred to the normsphere on twitch many years later), ME!ME!ME!, various Japanese MADs, etc.

I guess the modern incarnation of that would be those viral TikTok songs, but it just feels 'soulless' in comparison for a lack of a better word.

Taylor Swift seems fairly popular and she seems to have a dedicated following that presumably do remember and care about her songs.
I think we have to remember that we are on the outside, I have never even heard a Taylor Swift song, maybe you have not either. That entire world is something that we never interact with so to us it could be easy to say that nobody cares about modern music but that's just because we don't.

The mistake you're making is you think people that care about Taylor Swift are people. They are not people. They are cattle. That's why they watch TV and gossip about whatever the TV is gossiping about.

Anon is not like this. He has refined tastes that are not driven by advertising agencies and propagandists. The reason imageboards no longer spawn memes is because they are not allowed to spawn memes. Anon weaponized memes and the other side fought back. They flooded all our homelands and spread us to the four corners of the globe. We are no longer allowed to operate as a real community anymore. This is a trick. It keeps the TV watching zombies contained within the walls of the largest propaganda service ever conceived by man. Where they can be drip fed content curated by the propaganda overlords and any original content can quickly be silenced and censored before it's seen by more than 10 people.

Let's use your Taylor Swift example; She does not write her own lyrics. She does not produce her own music. She does not design her own costumes. She does not design her own sets. She never interacts with her fans (zombies) in any kind of real way. She does not hold handshake events. She does not appear anywhere organically. She does not have a real boyfriend. She's not even a real woman. But she (he) is an effective mouth piece for the people doing all of these things. Taylor Swift is not a bigger draw than the Superbowl no matter how much the TV tells you that lie on repeat. She's is artificially promoted like most everything else in this horrible world.

We should be thankful for Taylor Swift. It prevents more of the zombies from discovering real content like we consume. Thus ensuring that we can continue to consume it without worrying about what the zombies would demand be changed the moment their TV-kami started telling them to hate on repeat.

The world makes a lot more sense when you start to understand how much of it is really fake.

The only reason glorious Nippon cartoons even became popular in the west originally was due to the fact that people sought out content outside of this fake TV zombie curated garbage. Mainstream social media is just TV 2.0. It's a walled garden where all the dumb zombies can be contained so they don't infect the rest of mankind with their bad tastes and stupid opinions. The only diffPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

We are all cattle, memes themselves are the product of cattle. If you use or create memes, you are cattle.

Regarding Taylor Swift, a quick google search says that she does actually write her own music. But I do get your point, most pop singers don't. But then that's not really new or even restricted to pop music. Most Opera singers don't write their own operas nor do they design their own costumes and sets. Taylor Swift probably has more input in regards to her costume and sets than most Opera singers do. And a lot of what you are saying could very easily be applied to Idols as well.

I don't think your average Taylor Swift fan would care about what we watch, I think most of her fanbase are western girls and young women, though having said that many of them probably do read manga and watch anime and such. The average fan probably does not but I think there would be a lot that do.
I think if people like Taylor Swift and not anime then that's fine, everybody has their own interests.

It depends on what you mean by fake. Because everything could easily be called fake, you could be called fake, I could be called fake. Taylor Swift clearly is a real person and she clearly does make music that people like, not you or I but people none the less. The fact that she writes he own songs means she is more authentic than much of what I listen to, most of the cute anime songs probably aren't song by the people that wrote them.

It feels weird to be defending Taylor Swift but here I am...
