> Well, I'm glad that what I'm talking about is at least in part interesting.
yeah,well...you have opened the thread so... I am certainly listening for complementing it.


> yeah it's not really something I pay attentoin to much myself either aside from the pony thread.
well, different preferences, I guess. I mean, entitlement within anonymous circles doesn´t count very much (and it can easily backfire) but the interest wouldn´t be taken away from you so, the trade was worthwhile in the long run.

> yeah pretty much. moots an idiot.
just because one comes to the same conclusion that thousands of other people have already said for years doesn´t change at all the result. He´s no longer taking part in this game.

> I learned recently there's a ton of african words that aren't actually of any african language. A ton were added by europeans because they lacked a lot of concepts that europeans had at the time. a good example is the word future or tomorrow. But I know little else outside of that and a few other examples.

interesting. Even though it makes a lot of sense considering that writing systems were pretty much non-existent (with a handful of exceptions of course) and the illiteracy rates were downright dreadful at the time,let´s not going to lie ourselves. 

Keep in mind that technology doesn´t simply apply to objects or digital devices, language stands as technology as well.

They had to build something out of nothing and they didn´t simply have the tools for expressing said concepts so, those imposed words would settle a shortcut for those concepts/words/expressions that would be seen as weird tools back then. But they wouldn´t offer any other alternative of communication that could compete against it so, it was pretty much bound to happen one way or another.

> think of it as filled with glowies and shills whose job it is to do nothing but post porn and interrupt any meaningful conversation. That's what it is now.
already verified by your post then. I read about its status due to other anons that happened to talk about it every now and then but it seems that /b/ still continues that same path that it has been taking for these last few years as the main board for teenagers who want to be edgy and believe that they are doing something special and it just becomes the playground for messing around. We haven´t been missing anything from that board, have we?
