  • To manufacture a disadvantage for them if they ever found themselves in a swordfight, of course

  • I don't disagree, but it's precisely these "moral frameworks" that lead to rigidity, stagnation, in-groups and out-groups, and so on. These "frameworks" externalise/alienate "morality" (from the subjective, emotivist sense) into something sacred, inviolable, that exists above us (absolute morality, "the truth"), and whoever controls this morality controls everyone else. And this goes for not just religion, but every ideological+social "framework" in general; the centralisation/hierarchicalisation of power is inherently susceptible to exploitation and corruption. Even science, for example: consider how "objectivity" has been used as "absolute truth", when what it really is, at least in science, is the union of many subjectivities.

    The subjectivity of our experiences is inescapable, by definition, really (what is experience, if not subjective?). So when things are justified with "morality", "duty", "objectivity", oftentimes it is to obscure this fundamental subjectivity, I think; there's this kinda taboo dynamic to it. But if we instead embrace our subjectivities, we can see ideas for what they are and where they come from, and use them as tools for building community (or whatever else we might find useful), without letting them become exploitable backdoors to our minds.

  • Civilians inexplicably stood in a line of fire

  • the work (to trim all the Vista bloat) that had started with Windows 7

    Could be phrased better but it makes sense to me

  • After all, that's how all labels work (and perhaps even words in general?). They try to capture meaning, at best failing to do so (endlessly "approaching" it, always a step behind the evolution of language), and at worst ensaring peoples' thoughts and ideas.

  • It's a catch-22 - try to be more unique, in an effort not to lose your humanity, but in doing so keep feeding the machine which subsists on creativity. A human-AI ouroboros.

  • Does this apply to the google play version?

  • ohhhhhhh 🤦

    Wait... what about gay couples where one of the guys is the biological father?

  • The smile/wrinkles look kinda weird? Could be a generated image of Altman, plus photoshop

  • Didn't Grok also claim he's fitter than LeBron and smarter than da Vinci? Perhaps being an olympic piss drinker has been the key to his success.

  • Probably not even mint-specific since it happens on pop os too

  • Or maybe they're overworked and burnt out

  • I've articulated why. Are you just here to argue in bad faith?

  • Lol what? Are you a troll? Or a bot?

    Fallacy is just faulty reasoning, I don't need to know all the ins and outs of how philosophers/logicians categorise them to know how to point out faulty reasoning. Knowing how to reason about things is far more important than throwing around buzzwords.

    You accuse me of not being studious, yet you refuse to actually engage with what I say - you know what kind of fallacy that is? An ad hominem. Even a supposed ignoramus like me knows that. I wonder what that makes you?

  • I guess it's easy to convince yourself of that when you haven't really engaged with what I said, lol

  • Hey, idk all the names people have made up to categorise fallacies, but I do know you misapplied the no true scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, or at least a misunderstanding.
