I guess I’m the only one in this thread that does other things when I’ve got down time away from the computer. When I want to play a video game, I don’t want to play a shittier version of it.

So glad I have a computer I can play games on so I don’t have to mess around with a smaller computer with a smaller screen and worse performance.
Edit: I pissed off the dad caucus with this comment. Steam decks are only for dads who can’t get more than thirty minutes of game time anymore and have no space for a legit gaming PC.
To be clear, the vast majority of academic philosophers (at least in the Anglophone world) find Freud to be useless pseudoscience. Freud gets taken seriously in literary analysis and continental philosophy. The latter is a minority position (although drawing a hard and fast line between “analytic” and “continental” philosophy is pretty difficult these days).
When I was getting my PhD in philosophy, I would have been laughed out of the room if I wrote a term paper that used Freud in any significant way.
This sounds like a great idea to pass right before we elect a guy who’s promised to be a dictator.
Defining mental illness is tricky. Typically one important feature of mental illness is personal distress. Given that lots of trans people seem to be distressed about their gender identity, or the sex of their bodies, I don’t see why it’s incorrect to call that distress mental illness. It seems like the problem here is the stigmatization of mental illness in general. Even if being trans was a symptom of mental illness, this doesn’t mean the best way to treat someone who’s trans isn’t gender affirming-care.
I have some bad news to tell you about capitalism
You can soften “a black” or “a Chinese” entirely by adding “person” to the end of it. English is weird.
Water in the microwave. Cheap Lipton tea bag for five mins. A little cashew milk. It’s fine.
Got a divorce and lost my job. Spent six months eating 1500 calories a day, 600 of which were liquor, and walking five to seven miles a day. Hours of walking by the Sound in the rain every day. Felt like the only thing I could control was what I ate and how much I walked. Lost thirty pounds. I got a few compliments on how much thinner I looked. Didn’t tell anyone that every pound was burned with hate.
I’m doing better now.
I used to hear this…back when I was in my 20s 😭
I realize you’re probably talking about news articles but if you want to keep track of PDFs, nothing beats Zotero.
The key thing is that it’s not our culture, it’s the material interests of the rich that elevate psychopaths to power. The culture follows.
The ‘revolutionary’ one is pretty out of date. Russia couldn’t be more traditionalist.
I’d bet the majority of us are millennials, though.
Simple: pirate adobe acrobat and ocr them yourself.
I still haven’t caught it. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
It’s sort of like magically turning everybody into a middle class white guy. Would it be good for each individual? Probably. But it’s probably worth thinking about why it’d be so good, and what that says about our real, non-magical world.
Looks like Seattle to me.
In the US people working the tills are usually TOO nice and you don’t want to make smalltalk with them. Only in NYC have I encountered rude till people, and even there, most are pretty pleasant.
Maybe bring a book? Why not save gaming for when you can actually do it well, not on a tiny screen at sub-60fps?
