Philosophy is more of a meta science. It’s people commenting on other people’s thoughts all the way down.
So you won’t get any actual answers on how to live, you might find how a lot of people tangled with different aspects of reality and producing their views.
If you like the ideas of stoicism and taoism you can read on those subjects. If you want a philosophic approach you learn about idea structures leading up to them and contemporary with them, like epicureanism and confucianism.
There’s plenty of good advice in this thread already, so take your pick! I always found a cool vibe between presocratics and Taoist thought.
Ok go! Have aan archive of songs that I don’t regularly listen to, but have really memorabele video clips. I likey them more for the videos than everything else.
This is quite a common answer. It seems like a virtual thing. In Europe there are many coffee cafes that aren’t much more expensive then Mac Donald’s, si I wouldn’t even think of going there.

Italy’s far-right prime minister has said she will not allow the country to become “Europe’s refugee camp”, after thousands of people seeking refuge landed on its shores, prompting France to tighten controls at its border with Italy....
Because the amount of work. My country put in place relatively strict every laws, to make sure that people aren’t economical refugees, but legit people in danger in their own country.
Problem is that everybody needs to be checked, and that is a lot of work, making that the centre of admissions is clogged up with demand.
So even if you want stricter control, it can lead to more congestion.
Any advice? (lemmy.world)
