what are these for? are the special underwear

The blue one in the upper right appears to be covered with charms against the evil eye.

but what is the purpose of the jock strap? that is my question, for banaka. banaka, what is the purpose of the jock strap?

banaka's silence speaks volumes

None of these are appealing to us in any aesthetic, philosophical, political, or practical way.

Starting with the top left image:

1. Romanticization of Nature is to be avoided.
2. Thumbs down. The celebration of feudalism, monarchies or other obsolete modes of existence is despicable.
3. This is the only one we approve of in any way, but it is still not desirable.
4. We do not condone bandanas, rubber gloves are acceptable however. Very acceptable.
5. See number 1.
6. Frilly, decorative, useless.
7. Our distaste for this religious imagery is well understood by now.
8. A failed attempt at eliciting a visceral "gag" response. Reactionary.
9. No.

What are the ways in which the 'aesthetic' is not a comfort of the kind which you oppose diametrically in your vision of the future?

also do you take milk and sugar in ur tea y/n

banaka, where is it appropriate to find beauty?

Beauty is in that which serves the needs of the collective and establishment of the New Society. All of our value judgments reflect this.

Ah, beauty in the efficiency of one undisputed truth. 's a good one, that one.

banaka, Should ILX Have an "I Love Football" Board?

banaka:

When the banaka collective needs to urinate or defecate, how is it accomplished?

how does banaka feel about robert williams' death

banaka, do you feel that there is any human work, be it technical, literary, or artistic that I may be able to study or experience that will make me understand your ways better?

I'm starting to lose interest in humanity.

requesting banaka's critique of this, thx.

As robotic technology develops and insinuates itself further into everyday life, what counts as a robot is becoming more slippery, drifting further away from the C-3POs and the Twikis and the other box-of-bolts robot buddies of science fiction. Should we see robots simply as useful machines? Is a garage-door opener a robot? Do they have to be self-propelling? (A Roomba seems far more robotic than a laptop, but a laptop is far more useful.) Must a robot think “for itself,” as if it actually has a “self”? Do they even have to be machines at all? Are RFID sensors robots? Are networks? Do I become a robot when I use my smartphone? When some asshole puts on Google Glass and looks at me on the street, do we both become robots?

banaka, will you ever post in a WDYLL thread?
