Regulating capitalism = authoritarianism. What a weird take. Regulating capitalism =/= abolishing capitalism, this I can understand. But your take... wow.

Indeed, but just to be sure, is the meaning the same? The lower fringe/extremity of the bourgeoisie, often with more cultural capital than economical (teachers, non-pauperized nurses, young journalists, PhD in social sciences, etc.), joyfully rebellious but also with high levels of strict adherence to the established order, main agents of the gentrification of formerly popular urban neighborhood but whose younger generations can sometimes adhere to revolutionary perspectives, strongly despised by orthodox marxists while being the primary audience of such movements/orgs?

I'm not into conspiracy stuff. It's just that when I downloaded Ghidra for the first time, when I saw it was being published by the NSA, I had a "wow, didn't expect that" reaction and it somehow became a shower thought.
It may be important to say that I'm not from the US. Where I live, I'm not sure things like that would happen or have happened. Well, or it did and I didn't really pay attention.
Do people trust Ghidra? How come it's been developed by the NSA? From an outsider perspective, that sounds so weird! Thanks in advance to anyone able to enlighten me!

Possible case : me. I often forget my seat belt. Fortunately, most people remind me about it and then I immediately fasten it.
The reason is simple. I think I use a car, always as a passenger, like 3 times a year. When I used to drive, it was such an automatic gesture I'd never forget it. But it's so easy to forget when it becomes very rare. Everything is hypnotizing when you enter a car. I'm glad the driver reminds me, but I could be OP's lost one.

Cuddles maybe. Some homeless people care about their cats more than their own life. The nerve some people have to rob them of their cats.. I've seen it happen recently. I knew the guy, called him. He recognized his cat. The young couple said the cat would be better off with them than with a hobo. Needless to say, we "retrieved" the cat.

Dissenting opinion : ZZZ is actually neat. If you think about it, taking the f2p route, it has a nice and punchy battle system, the writing is quite good even if the story, for now, is quite.. standard, I would say. I'm still going through the content, but even if I don't think I'll stick with this game forever, 50h of intense brainless fun for free is not something I'll give an hard pass on.
That being said, yes, nothing beats a labor of love indie game.
Edit : couldn't agree more with the character design, though. I wish it was less.. let's say.. err.. more.. well, not what it is.
Omg, I suppose ERB was producing their Biden VS Trump rematch video when the democratic nominee changed. That means we may not get an electoral battle this cycle. My day is ruined.

You could have stopped at (universal) servitude. But yeah, they say it all becomes clear p.72!

By pushing the idea that the humain brain is capable of "free" decision making to adapt to its environment without being forced by external factors it seemed to me that it implied an exception, or, otherwise, you'd be forced to extend that hypothesis to all living beings, and causality would surely take offense ?
I'm answering, but I see what you mean, and I generally agree with it. I just tend to think the idea of free orientation/action is both dangerous and the reason of a lot of human suffering. I'm also a compatabilist, but I another way I suppose.

One cauld rightfully argue "determination" and "predetermination" are wildly different concepts. The comic is wrong on this. But let's go page 72 anyway
needthosepylons 2 months ago • 100%
If we're to rely on facts and facts only, I'll argue its internal decision making is itself clearly determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.
I'm quite sure this addition erases the mere idea "free(dom)" and "free will", which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.
Edit : changed phrasing because I answered after reading your first paragraph. Then I read the second one.

That's very true, yes. And non-inherent hardly means "weak" or "inefficient".
needthosepylons 2 months ago • 75%
Indeed, I do think the same. What I have trouble understanding, and even with close friends, is how "no inherent meaning to existence" seems to quickly become, in some cases, "no meaning to existence". I always tend to think this slide tends to exclude another possibility. A non-inherent meaning.

Why do it seems that pedophilia is, nowadays, percieved as the most vicious crime, along with terrorism? Why not, for example, sexual assault? I mean it as an actual question, but first I should clarify my intent : -I'm not advocating for normalizing pedophilia -I have been a victim of it myself. Luckily, I've mostly recovered from it and live a happy life. -Because of my political commitments, which are totally unrelated to this question, I've met some old people from the 70s who advocated for the depenalization of consensual sex between minors and adults (if such a thing exist, which can legitimately be doubted). -I'm friend with one of them but I could never understand how that idea came to their minds. She knows I oppose the very idea. But it got me curious. What I want to ask is, what, in contemporary history, contributed to make pedophilia the #1 vicious crime, surpassing rape in most consciences (if I'm not mistaken), in your opinion? Feel free to delete this if that's not acceptable. Also, I didn't include the word "pedophilia" in the title to avoid triggering people who may have such experiences.

Well, as a guy, I've been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I'm forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there's romance in a game, I'll also take the F/F route. Yet, I don't think I fetishize those in general. There's a thing about not liking most M characters in games, but also something about playing someone really different from who I am. We've had an interesting conversation about this with my gf who always plays F characters and woyd never play M. Although I'm a straight guy, I've always more identified to female friends and characters, although I have a few male friends too. So I'm wondering who else does that (playing a character not matching your gender), and if you found your own explanation. Edit : It's not really an oversexualization drive for me, I try to play a female character that *looks like me*, even though I've never thought about actually becoming a woman. Edit 2 : So far, I think we have, hmm.. 1) Playing someone that differs from one's irl identity 2) Physical Attractivity 3) Male character writing and design 4) Lara Croft effect 5) Lady Dwarf

A community for those interested in ethics and particularly about the work on Spinoza. Anyone is welcome, you don't need a degree. Gatekeeping is not allowed. If you are curious or want to share you examples, memes, discussions about how Spinoza's Ethics are relevant to you, of if you're curious and just want to learn a thing or two about it, come and discuss!

For me it was through Deleuze's course on Spinoza. Stumbled upon it. Thought "well, idk anything about this, I might as well listen to it in the background while playing Warframe". I ended up.. not playing a lot of Warframe..
I've been thinking about writing this following a discussion on atheistmemes because it gave me a lot to think about. The idea is quite simple. I acknowledge there are multiple visions of atheism but never really took the opportunity to discuss it with people. So here are the main cornerstones of my vision of atheism. Do you share them or reject them ? -Gods, as religions define it, do not exist. There might be some kind of metaphysical supreme entity, but it would be more akin to an abstraction. -Spiritual beliefs, per se, are not a good or bad thing. I admire quite a lot of religious minded people. Abolitionist quakers, anarchist christians, muslim thinkers, poets, activists fighting for emancipation from colonial/theocratic rule, etc. That being said, I believe I'll live and die as an atheist. -Religious institutions are quasi-inherently evil. I write "quasi-" because I don't know enough about all beliefs system. What about animist/pantheist institutions ? I don't know. I come from a family of African immigrants and I hear mixed things about those. -Being an atheist do not make you better or worse than being a believer, and, quite importantly, not "wiser". Wisdom is earned from character and mind. That being said, being a fundamentalist and being wise are mutually incompatible imo. -I deeply hate and resent all missionaries. Religious ones, especially fundamentalism of all shapes and forms, for sure, but also atheist ones. I believe there's no god, I don't need my friends to accept this. If they want to learn about atheism, I'll tell them. I often question them about religion, because I sometimes have trouble understanding how they can be great people while believing in what are basically myths to me. But that's all. That's just me who don't understand. I don't think they would be "better" as atheists. -I have an ambiguous relation to Islam. While I reject it as a set of institutions, like all other religions, and absolutely despise it's fundamentalist current, I do understand that some large part of anti-Islam movements are actually ethnoracists in (a bad) disguise. I tend to favour alliances with muslim individuals/groups i'll be able to talk with without it being infuriating. Tbh, the only fundamentalists I actually talked with irl were Christians and Jews. But that's just my social position. If I was born in another context, another place, another family, it who would be different. I don't doubt all religions produce fundamentalism in a somehow equal measure. -I truly think reason is not a quality which is restricted to atheism. Even if, like wisdom, I think some conceptions of religion bar people from living according to reason. But I can't respect people waving the "reason" flag like a title, an honor or an automatic consequence to being an atheist. Reason is a way of life, certainly not an authoritarian one, it's hard earned and always fragile. And it's certainly not restricted to "maths". Although mathematics are a part of it. Understanding what's good and bad for your own complexion is, for me, the beating heart of reason. Easier said than done. -Despite all I said, I understand and won't criticize a very strong stance against any religion from someone who's been oppressed by them. Although, and take it with a grain of salt because it's only my experience of those people, I don't feel like they're the first ones to wave atheist as the flag of a nation or a pride backed by a superiority complex. To end this wall of text, here's a summed up version of how I was raised. My parents are far from perfect, but this they did fine. Both were religious. Jewish and Muslim, with various degrees of adhesion/rejection/deviation from their faiths (quite complicated for my mother). They had us participate in both religious rituals when we were young. We sang prayers (as we sang folk songs, we didn't make a difference). But they didn't give us any kind of religious education. When we were 14 or 15, they gathered my siblings and I and basically told us this : "We are religious. But that's just us. You've experienced what is religion. You should make a choice about it. Either now or later. There will be no consequence to your choice under this roof." There were three of us. We all choose to be atheists. They acknowledged our choice add we never once discussed that again. That's it. I'd like to hear your opinions about all this, if any. Thanks for reading ! Edits : typos

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with you all. It's strange you know. I stopped smoking in november 2018. After a lot of tries. But there's a context. I was smoking like 20 cigarettes and like 15 joints per day for 10 years. I had surgery (unrelated to tabacco/weed), and the surgeon told me : "There are two roads ahread of you. Either you continue smoking like you do and we can already book another surgery in 6 months. Or you stop and there's 50% chance you won't need to come back". I was ready and stopped 2 weeks later. Weed and tobacco at the same time. I had surgery. That surgery had a major impact on my everyday life. I could barely walk for a whole year and had to take very strong painkillers every day. Had to stop sports, and had trouble going to work in constant pain. On top of that, I started vaping and consumed incredible amounts of sugar to cope with frustration. In the end, I did it. But as a consequence to withdrawal and forced immobility.. I went from 70kg to 90kg. And today, more than 4 years later, I still struggle to lose those kgs. And it's so frustrating, and I'm so estranged with my new body, I started again smoking from times to times. Still resisted the urge to buy a pack, but for example, when I'm waiting for a train, I ask people for a cigarette. I constantly think about my weight. That's.. a weird feeling, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I used to do a lot of Martial Arts. Now I'm learning Tai-Chi and I love that. Doing a but of jump rope once or twice a week. Paying major attention to what I'm eating. Well, here I am now. It all seems a bit ironic. But it's not all so dark. Yesterday, I picked an appointment with a dietetician. Hopefully, it will help me in this complicated moment. I wish you all good luck !
I think no comments are necessary. We have most of the emergency memes now.
If you have some on your phone, consider sharing them !
Idk if "little experience" means something in English, but what I meant is non-life changing/threatening. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed. For me, it was when I stopped drinking acoholic beverages because.. I ended up finding it boring, I guess. I started noticing how low key hostile my environment is towards people who dont drink. People started thinking I was sick, depressed, converted to islam, being snob, etc. Bartenders started to openly mock me when I asked for a lemonade (they still do) : "We dont do that here", "Go to a physician if you need that", "you're in a bar you know ?". I started realizing how hostile my country/region/groups can be to people who dont drink. Never realized that before. Edit : typo
