@WashedOutGundamPilot @Chaos_Ecksdee @StoleMyThundersBalls @Twoinchdestroya It's genuinely worrying how the meta isn't creating something funny, entertaining, or insightful, it's all just overly long pointless commentary on something that was never worth a damn to begin with. Wonder how long until all media is just commentary on commentary

@SuperSnekFriend @matrix Ah, yeah vidya was already unsalvageable by that point, fair enough
-
@SuperSnekFriend @matrix Sorry, nothing could convince me the golden age of YTP was actually bad
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot @StoleMyThundersBalls @Twoinchdestroya Youtube is basically unusable if you aren't using some kind of third-party service to avoid most of its inane bullshit

Everyone who makes vids about vtuber drama is a hopeless ass bandit

@SerfnUSA Have a good sleep, hope it goes well!

Genuinely surprised to learn marijuana isn't legal nationwide yet, shit's been so normalized I just assumed those laws were totally abolished
-
I dislike marijuana, but there's something unserious about wanting it to remain banned without endorsing a return to prohibition. Alcoholism is overall a more destructive vice even in nations where there's no stigma against marijuana usage, but I suppose alcohol isn't associated with enemy causes
This is admittedly a moot point because shit's sucking hard right now and threatening to criminalize popular coping mechanisms is political suicide

@TopBep I don't keep up with vshojo, why are so many of them not renewing their contracts? Is there a BPD cascade going on or is there some grimy shit happening?

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Eiregoat @MeBigbrain @sickburnbro In general the play should be to move away from hobbies based entirely around consumption if subversion bothers you

A part of me wonders if the scientific worldview will eventually lead to panpsychism coming back into vogue. It seems like a natural evolution of assuming consciousness is an emergent property, so asserting matter has some inherent potential to be conscious would be reasonable. Being an illusionist about consciousness might bypass this issue, though I think it still leaves the question of why unconscious matter would impute the experience of consciousness on unconscious matter -- even this objection might be begging the question by assuming the prior appearance of consciousness is a prerequisite for imputation of consciousness idk

@AstolfoCockVore I'm fairly sure I said nothing interesting, insightful, or correct there, you're probably not missing out

@okuu @WashedOutGundamPilot Therapy is more like shamanism for very primitive, superstitious people: you picked up some demons (trauma) through some kind of negative experience and now you have to talk about it to the medicine man to somehow banish them

@SerfnUSA @okuu lol butt pirates

While I'm talking about atheism and metaphysics, it's insane how "atheist" went from an adjective to a noun and now tedious idiots argue over whether Buddhism, Taoism, etc are atheistic or not. Card-carrying atheists say no because they don't assent to the accepted secular materialist worldview, practitioners don't want to identify as atheist because people will think they're capital-a Atheists, and everyone seems to talk past each other when discussing this

It's strange to see atheist philosophers & neuroscientists argue over "free will" when the concept itself solves no problems and is frankly incoherent unless you hold a very specific set of metaphysical views
feet unrelated

I should probably clarify this post a little. To the best of my understanding, "free will" as a doctrine originated as an apologetic for the problem of evil by asserting evil as the result of some people consciously choosing harmful actions. If you have no philosophical commitment to the universe being created & governed by some kind of omnipotent-omniscient-omnibenevolent force, there's no reason to even wonder if the decisions you make are informed by previous decisions, societal conditioning, genetics, and other such factors -- that much should be obvious
this is a subtler post so I am posting subtler feet

>Though the term “bare branches” might sound like modern slang, it actually dates back centuries. That’s no coincidence—from 1700 well into the 1900s, China experienced a similar guy glut.
