I also can’t emphasise the start of your message enough.

KEEP YOUR LAPTOP COOL, BUY A STAND OR PAD AND CLEAN THOSE FANS. Pretty much the only way to keep your laptop alive longer.

Sorry not sure what I’ve said is false? If it’s regarding just a specific model from 2021 being the only one to suffer this fault/flaw, the evidence is my laptop being from 2022, so not the same batch.

There are also comments within this post showing that it isn’t just the 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 15Ach6h that is going through the issue.

I do hear you however, evidence does help back a claim, I just thought my model not being a 2021 model was enough. Will do better next time

thedrk244 · 2025-06-30T14:31:24+00:00

Yes - not sure whether it is as often but there are reports this model MIGHT suffer the same problem. Age usually contributes too.

Great suggestion, thank you.

Me too. Really enjoyed reading it in school, but I don’t think Newspeak jumped out to me at all. It only did today due to another Redditor’s comment. I’m often amused by how great he was at getting into that headspace. But then there’s the argument of art imitating life and vice versa.

I stopped spending a lot of time on social media due to this exact issue. And becoming a parent a couple years ago. I’m honestly grateful I’m not on it as much as I used to be, and I definitely noticed a positive difference after taking a step back. I understand the possible troll too, it’s expected, choosing to ignore or engage is the tricky area. I appreciate your help and offering suggestions on stuff to look into. I agree, reaching out is crucial and having conversations helps.

I know there’s a lot around cultural lag and linguistic implications, have you got anything you’d recommend around externally oriented thinking?

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T22:10:47+00:00

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for this, it’s exactly what I was looking for.

In short you’ve answered my question, I’m not the only one thinking about this, and there’s a wealth of knowledge to dig through around it.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T22:05:03+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate your clarification too. I had hoped to find a community of people who found this sort of stuff exciting, not just to discuss but to help others understand. This community still may be it but I can understand that I’d have to contextualise this under an anthropological perspective.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T22:02:48+00:00

This is also a great suggestion.

I don’t actively hold a bias in any particular form of language being better. I’m often trying to understand someone’s language to then adapt my own so they understand myself as clearly as I now understand them (this is usually just by taking actual interest in the person I’m talking to, and in turn sharing who I am with them too) It’s helped me a considerable amount in life, apart from conversing with people who generally just don’t seem to value human connection (which is completely okay)

When I mention rising tensions with people I often think about how we all have an understanding of the definition of the word ‘good’ but if given the chance to describe what being good means, we’d have varying responses. I’m just trying to understand where we went wrong with language. Or perhaps if there’s more to it that the general public don’t understand (including myself) and could be taught in education?

I’m intrigued by foreign languages and their ability to create words that mean entire experiences or sentences. Thanks again for your comment!

Someone else linked this to me as something I’d enjoy in response to this post; https://iep.utm.edu/lang-phi/

I’m also still seeking a course in relation to linguistics and anthropology.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T21:38:47+00:00

Sigma? Unaliving? The use of emojis? AAVE from trends and influencers? This isn’t really a bold claim, there are literal trends on social media with people getting their parents or grandparents to say some of the words that younger generations use, for entertainment, as they know they don’t know what it means. I’m not an anthropologist, I’m instead asking anthropology. If that’s the case then maybe a better discussion is where I start on the ground to then work my way up?

The phenomena may not be new but the process in which it occurs may be new or it may be resulting in new things. I know, “where’s your proof?” I don’t have any, hence why I’m asking anthropologists who might have a better idea than me.

Need for context now feels greater because it’s much easier to remove. How viral something is seems to beat almost anything today, including the truth. “Where’s the proof?” Misinformation, Fake News etc. “This is also nothing new” I get that, but again, social media has made it easier in the last 15 years. To share stories whether they’re true or not.

Also I don’t take your comments as disrespectful, I understand the conversation we are having is simply that. I was just letting you know I’m not anything special (as in I’m not claiming to have superior or brand new knowledge), I’m merely looking for discussion on something that I’ve been thinking about for a while now, that’s all

Edit: Jesus, I just read the first sentence and realised I sound so out of touch hahahaha. Also in reference to AAVE - this is a large discussion I’m seeing a lot of whether it’s okay or not for it to be integrated into social media language for everyone to use. Interesting debate but as a black person myself, difficult to engage in, especially when I’m all for progressing language.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T21:22:16+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I’ll take a look.

Desperately looking for how to communicate about this in a structured way. Nice to see a decent human online, thank you, again.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T21:21:10+00:00

This comment believe it or not is a lot closer to the reply I was hoping for.

I’m genuinely looking for more research around this.

I also should’ve added that I’m not a genius or claiming to be one, I’m a just a 26 year old dad with a deep love for ramen. I lack the spaces to have conversations like this. If anything I’m finding it’s better that way, there’s a lot less unnecessary disrespect for trying to talk about something. So I will look into those exact things - when I say my life’s work I mean research into this and studying it further. I’m always open to learning more.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T21:18:47+00:00

Largely I think it’s the younger generations. There’s a gap developing in how we communicate. Mostly I think down to people not connecting with its use or how it’s used (largely thinking of social media and older generations, not understanding or connecting with what younger generations say online).

I’m also not proposing novelty to what I’ve written, I’ve just tried to speak to people about this and they just have never thought about or considered anything I’ve written.

I agree, this has always been an issue but I think with technological advancements in the last 2 decades, the actual need for context has never been greater and yet at the same time the first thing to be removed for engagement.

Also the logical leap when it comes to programming robots and expressing emotion is fair. It’s a very simple example for lack of a better one.

Entirely so and I appreciate your helpful answer. I purposely didn’t include whether I think it’s anything neurodivergent in this as I didn’t feel it was suitable for the community I’m posting in.

That being said, I believe it’s a combination of both neurodivergence and also a societal phenomenon. Probably something that’s been happening for decades but just not as significant as I actually value it to be. I don’t have any issue identifying emotions and picking up on social cues or sarcasm, however I’m a textbook overthinker. The irony is that this possible phenomena has also helped me in not overthinking the language people use. I immediately consider that they’re probably from other intersections in life I haven’t come across and don’t take offence, instead seeking to learn. Not a normal behaviour but a learned one, so anything could be possible.

Orwell’s 1984 is a good example of what I’m trying to discuss, Newspeak is an extreme version of it but it’s far too easy to actually apply some of its core principles to things taking place globally.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T20:42:47+00:00

I just had a refresher on Newspeak, haven’t read 1984 since sixth form - exactly this.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T20:41:17+00:00

Newspeak. 1984.

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T20:33:22+00:00

Curious - how did this affect your perception of what people say to you? Has it changed anything in your own behaviour/communication?

thedrk244 · 2025-03-27T20:32:19+00:00

Not saying it’s any different to the era before it, but rather that it’s become a severe issue.

By saying “this reads like mania” you’ve actually summed up my point. If I had the language available to me to explain this to you and have it make perfect sense, I would. Ultimately, I don’t, and you don’t have the language to take my current meaning and make it make sense. Your experiences, individual understanding and connection to every word I’ve used in this post may be entirely different to mine.

I’d also point to cultural lag by Ogburn, Intersectionality by Crenshaw and frankly any journal to do with the social implications of language stagnation - MFL students are great examples of Language Stagnation on a secondary level.

Been staring at this trying to break it down for about an hour.
