that’s a beautiful thing. so, what moment were you all at your gayest? have you ever been THE gayest?

it’s true. remember even Athens functioned on the back of slavery

I didn’t really have a cushion besides being American though. but that was enough

I have a degree in philosophy and a degree in therapy and i promise the therapy part makes people way more uncomfortable than the philosophy part. I never really encountered weird attitudes about philosophy tbh. maybe it’s how I own it. I very earnestly live like a Socrates - Diogenes hybrid and try to make smart stuff sound dumb and safe to engage the community neurons. and my general excitement about it, if my philosophy background comes up, it’s from a place of passionate curiosity where we’re already talking about interesting shit and me using the ph word just makes them think “oh we’re about to get into it”.

it could also be the context with which ppl get to know me is more receptive to philosophical conversations. I genuinely believe that therapy is literally just a modern philosophy practice.

Cajons are fucking fun

on the internet? it’s an on-going process, there is no “everything”

wait, so the bullets did NOT say shit like “uwu whats this?”

yes!! Live!!

Jesus, what is all this? skimming it looks like half of it is a treatise on epistemology. you’re really going to focus on the data?

I’ve been on the fucking internet too, that’s the data. I’m speaking from my own experience in the shared world we’ve been in, like everyone always does. we at least are clearly on shared spaces.

so like, unless the trolls are all in your DMs, can we skip the text walls about data and skepticism and uncertainty principles??

The rest of your reply seems fairly good spirited but I’m not eager to read it when we start off with paragraph after paragraph of “what data”

I’m not telling you not to block people, I would recommend you double check what I wrote next time before spouting off like that. I said something closer to “you shouldn’t call them trolls”. I dont see you engaging with that point anywhere…

SPORTS BALL!!!

I think there’s far fewer genuine trolls than people claim. Someone being an asshole because they had a bad day? Not a troll. Someone deliberately pretending to be something they’re not in order to rile up people for fun? Troll.

Most of the time, you’re blocking your brethren on their worst days. Which is your right, but don’t pretend that just cuz your brother is warty that they’re a troll.

It sounds like your wife just likes to party! Cuz I can assure you Manilla is filled with shitty dive bars too haha. It’s just also filled with amazing people who love to love and love to party. Filipinas rock! You two must have so much fun

How would you hold power when the powers that be despise you? You think you can rule without military might, will of the people, and the approval of those who owm the resources of the land? The idea of benevolent dictator is broken because of the conditions that you would need to create to even get in power, and to stay in power, would not be benevolent.

I dunno, i just dont see it that way. im an organism who experiences the world from my own perspective but i understand nothing about that makes my perspective special. the only extra duty i have is to care for myself because i am myself and im the best one for the job, most of the time. maybe i did have ego death or something?? i dunno, i never thought about it as being the main character or side character. when i see the ilk of Elon Musk talking about things like NPCs it just blows my mind how … “single-minded” people can be.

i see your mind and i know it is part of me but the paradox is that upon recognizing that your single-mindedness is part of me, i cease being single-minded

“we all”??? you clearly seem to lol

why are you giving corpos more money

so they’re all just cool with him continuing to deploy the military against his own population again and again, cool

remember when sitting republican congressmen turned the attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi into a joke? like actually making jokes about it? they’re so good at condemning political violence

people fucking love to do these gotchas against anyone for even fucking trying, don’t they

well congrats, you did it, you convinced all of us to compromise on our principles

I feel that. Maybe this song is her way of cutting herself free? Or by telling him to make a decision, she’s giving him more autonomy than if she just left. Like she’s saying, “Look, we need to commit to a decision, no more up and down, which way would you have it?”
