I have a feeling that you are confusing between "definition" and "perception". I see "definition" simply as a collection of symbols used to assign meaning to some particular symbol that we wish to define. "perception" on the other hand is the ability to recognize that a particular phenomenon is distinct.
I do not understand why being able to define colours in terms of wavelengths would enable all animals to perceive the same colours. We can define all our colour words in whatever way we want. These definitions will be useful as long as someone can interpret them (as long as they know what a wavelength of light is).
Ventilation system. "To vent" means to install a ventilation system in your home. I assume that OP either took up cooking or is building a thermonuclear reactor. In both cases, a ventilation system is favorable, however it may come at a cost, therefore OP wants to get some feedback from the community before proceeding with the purchase and installation of a ventilating system.
I used to think that Italians live in Haiti before seeing your comment. This probably also means that Italy is not inhabited by Haitians as I used to believe.
I cannot digest this. It cannot be. Don't tell me my knowledge of geography was false this whole time. Who lives in Italy then? Italians???
Typically people don't realise that it's a paid service. You've already "agreed" to it by ticking all the terms of service. Even the wizard won't mention anything about the money before he's finished installing. Then, after he's done everything, you can't just back out of the deal. He also won't leave until you pay.
I remember that one time when I went to court because of this. They were gonna force me to pay $99 for a "wizard" that helped me install XVideoDownloader_Windows_PremiumPlus_FreeTrial.exe. I won the case actually. My lawyer found a loophole in the "agreement" with the installer. A wizard must be male. That's in the very definition of the word. The person who helped me install the software was a female, therefore the wizard-dispatching company violated their own contract. After this incident, they started writing "witch/wizard" in the agreement though.
I can relate. When I'm on the internet, I just talk about internet stuff. I typically tend to avoid talking about my real life whilst online. I get too preserve some of my anonymity, but at the same time, shit can get boring real quick.
Snake. I recently revived my old Nokia phone just to play some old-fashioned snake. It probably doesn't count as "old" to some people, but for a zoomer like me, it feels old. I have memories of me spending way too much time on my Nokia phone playing snake as a child. I think it was the only game I could play without having to ask my mother for permission to use her computer.
Did he leave any presents at least? Or just took the cookies and left?
Because, this guy, I swear...
There was this one time he parked his sleigh right in front of my driveway, even though it clearly says DO NOT PARK ANY VEHICLES in big ass fucking letters. It just so happened that I needed to leave the house at that time. Long story short, I didn't expect to have a sleigh parked on my driveway. Some reindeer got injured and insurance got involved. And somehow it turned out to be my fault. And I'm telling him, your insurance company is literally called "claus insurance". Are you sure you guys aren't affiliated? But this dude just kept telling me he got 1.5 billion other houses to attend in the next couple minutes, so he can't spend another nanosecond arguing with me over "arbitrary details". Like, come on, you got a fuckton of elves working for you. Just get them to do your job. What do you even pay them for? But no. "Muh christmas spirit", "Santa gotta place the gifts himself", etc, etc.

I think this question has a good potential for a deep philosophical discussion, however I don't quite understand a few statements that you are making.
You are saying
but is it possible to define anything at all without relying on other words?
For real?
I like Think complexity. Maybe I'll actually get to using this textbook one day.

Omg I like claiming stuff too. I want to claim google.com. I think it'd be a stable source of income.
Stop wormposting. Find a real hobby. Perhaps, knitting?

I live in southeast asia (GMT+7). I'm not from here though.
Currently 2 hours in 2024. No signs of zombie apocalypse yet.

There have always been precisely two Mainchan users. 1) The admin and 2) [REDACTED] who operates all the other accounts.
1 Canadian can wrestle 750 Germans. It's a well known fact.
It kinda bothers me that this happened on a Friday 13th though.
I love ads.
I like the dog.
I mean. I don't know much about this thing you're doing here. But what you wrote sounds pretty cool. So you can have my stamp of approval.
