Anamnesis,

Must be nice to have a job that does 401k matching. I had one for about a year, then boom, laid off. Back to part time work that doesn’t match. 🤷‍♂️

Anamnesis,

This is the problem of moral luck. We often want to punish people more because factors outside of the perpetrator’s control turned out badly. Either we should punish everybody harshly when they push an elderly person, whether or not it injures them, or someone like this should get a pretty light sentence. Yet we have an irrational pull to treat the cases differently.

Anamnesis,

Why do we see it as yellow, then?

Anamnesis,

You mean white nationalist Peter Molyneux?

Anamnesis,

Yes lol

Anamnesis,

I always viewed it as a give and take. You’re expected to do the reading and understand the basics. The professor is there to give context and help you work out the harder stuff that doesn’t leap off the page. If neither does their job, no learning gets done.

Anamnesis,

Microfiber cloth with dish soap and water. Works pretty well.

Anamnesis,

You’re on the right track here. It’s a metaethical claim, not a moral one.

Anamnesis,

I’m not sure morality would have the same problems with recursion that math has.

Anamnesis,

Why would we? Ethics can be just as opaque as any other subject. It took us thousands of years to get economics, psychology, etc. to where they are.

Anamnesis,

Obligatory capitalism is bad too (but at least I’m in less danger of getting vanned in the middle of the night for insulting random great leader - attemtping to undermine the social order or whatever they called thoughtcrimes.)

Maybe you are, currently, in the United States of Europe. But this is really more a function of liberal democracy than capitalism. You could get vanned for saying the wrong thing about the great leader in quite a few capitalist countries. You’d be in high danger of having pretty terrible things happen to you for saying the wrong thing in the US until pretty recently, and the US has been capitalist pretty much since its inception.

Anamnesis,

“He’s a real physical player!”

Yeah, I didn’t think the NFL fielded ghosts.

Anamnesis,

I’m not CPR certified or anything, but I think if you’re just grabbing titties you’re probably doing it wrong.

Anamnesis,

The stroganoff part of this makes no sense. Unless you’re mistaking masticating for masturbating. Which is a pretty lame one.

Anamnesis,

Nicotine is an awesome drug. Increases your focus and provides a mild euphoric effect. Of course it’s not good for you, and if you’ve got to do it, it’s better to get it in some other way than to smoke cigarettes.

Edit: lots of people are suggesting that you don’t get any benefit once you’re addicted, except satisfying the cravings. That’s not true. Nicotine feels good even after you’ve been using it for a long time.

Anamnesis,

If I’m on my computer I might. But the reddit android is so bad. Loaded with apps and I can’t change the font at all. So I use Lemmy on my phone, which is most of the time.

Anamnesis,

I have a simple rule. I see Elon, I downvote. If we all did this we wouldn’t have to keep reading about the guy.

Anamnesis,

Yeah definitely. In the span of a month my wife suddenly left me to date women, my job laid me off, and my dog got sick and needed surgery. Everything I’d relied on for ten years just fell apart real fast and without a whole lot of warning. It’s been quite the year trying to recover from all that. Dog survived, divorce finalized, still no job.

Anamnesis,

Warms my heart to see somebody concerned, though I imagine I’ll have to figure it out myself. I’m in Seattle and used to work in management/IT consulting. I’ve got a weird background though, cause I’ve got a PhD in philosophy and spent the ten years before that teaching a bunch of logic. It’s a pretty tough combination to find a job with.

Anamnesis,

In my experience it doesn’t work well when you have more than a couple people editing the file. My company had a group of ten modifying the same file in live time; it led to huge desync problems.

Anamnesis, (edited )

What a profound indictment of the spirit of capitalism. That someone could have limitless money, look around the world and see all its misery, and yet have no idea what to spend money on. That cold evil is hard for anyone with a beating heart to imagine.

Anamnesis,

I’m an adjunct professor. If every adjunct professor disappeared today, universities would instantly be better for students and professors. Administrators would hate it, though.

Anamnesis,

I dunno guys, this dude seems a little mean

Anamnesis,

Real Estate. I like every band like them, but for some reason their music just doesn’t do anything for me.

Anamnesis,

They’re advertising it all over social media but what they won’t tell you is that this flavor sucks.

Anamnesis,

Wary*

Anamnesis,

You’re making some good points here. But this doesn’t explain why naval combat in every Paradox game seems to be a counterintuitive mess.

Anamnesis,

It’s pretty easy to come up with some things billionaires have done that are good. Bill Gates funding cures and prevention of diseases in the third world is one that comes to mind.

Now, if we’re talking about finding an example of a billionaire whose life is on balance a good thing for humanity…that’s pretty much impossible.

Anamnesis,

Venice already feels like a theme park. Might as well lean into it

Anamnesis,

I’m really confused reading this thread. Why isn’t it possible to just twist and tuck it left or right? I’m a dude and have never had a problem peeing sitting down on a round toilet.

Anamnesis,

I’m not steeped in theology but I thought acting against one of God’s prohibitions is what a sin is. What distinguishes the two?

Anamnesis,

People should be allowed to wear what they want. That said, nobody should voluntarily wear these terrible symbols of sexism and oppression. The literal religious purpose of the abaya and even the hijab is to promote modesty, with the rationale that men can’t control themselves and it’s women’s responsibility to do that for them. Fuck that message and fuck the ideology that it perpetuates.

Anamnesis,

Yeah, I’m a leftist and I find Islam as abhorrent as Christianity. I get that Muslims are a minority in the west, and so they’re often unjustly persecuted. But that doesn’t mean we should accept conservative nonsense just cause it comes from a minority religious group.

Anamnesis,

When I’m asleep I’m not experiencing shit. Close eyes, moment of black, awake again the next day.

Anamnesis,

This reasoning goes all the way back to Epicurus. With regard to your latter points, Epicurus thought they were also solved by being dead. For someone to miss out on something, they have to exist in the first place. No person, no missing out. And for not existing to be bad, a person must be around to be upset about it.

Anamnesis,

That’s probably true. I have definitely had some dreams. But maybe only fifty over thirty-seven years.

Anamnesis,

Jock straps are to hold a cup so you don’t get your balls smashed while playing sports. You only wear one in sports that involve a lot of risk of that happening.

Anamnesis,

I guess somebody doing a Nazi salute isn’t about Nazis? Plenty of things you could have raised this objection about but it seems pretty inapt here.

Anamnesis,

Something about that final aside really smacks of AI, you’re right.

Anamnesis,

This is a tragedy. The guy is dying and his greatest contribution to mankind is the song “All Star.” More than most of us will do, I guess.

Anamnesis,

crumbs tumbling down my chin onto my greasy shirt while I mumble

Never forget

Anamnesis,

This doesn’t quite work because one of the four noble truths of Buddhism is literally “there is suffering.”

Anamnesis,

Having lived in Bedstuy where a loud Muslim prayer happens every Friday morning, it’s annoying as fuck and should not be exempted from ordinary noise ordinances.

Anamnesis,

The knock out mechanic is frustrating because the game treats them as dead for most situations. It really should be reworked.

Anamnesis,

It’s okay that I can’t understand wtf Jon is saying because look at that ass

Anamnesis,

People that litter.

Anamnesis,

By automatically declines, you mean you have the assistant answer, then you select your response from that screen, right? It annoys me that I even have to screen the call at all, but I guess it’s better than what you get on most phones.

Anamnesis,

These people saying one a week must be living in hell, but they’re definitely outliers. I’ve lived in the same spot for three years here in Seattle without ever having a solicitor come to my door.
