    .

    Relatively few americans read comic books these days, there was a commercial hayday around like, IDK, the 40s or 50s then it receded into a niche thing kids got picked on for, and now that it's cool to be nerdy it's something people pretend to do even though almost no one actually does.

    I've changed immensely over the past month!

    For example: My sink is finally empty! I literally thing in there, holy shit, I don't know how long. It was long as fuck, like, I wouldn't be surprised if it was over a year. I remember having to put my hand in there recently and I was actually afraid that an unknown creepy creature may have spawned in there, flinching and yelping mildly when I my hand brushed against something.

    "Hey baby, did you know I finally managed to do my dishes for the first time in a year?"
    "Oh malice! That's so fucking sexy! Allow me to join your harem"

    Maybe you should retell the epic of that time a girl sat next to you on the train to demonstrate your high value as a mate.

Not just that, but things have already been set into motion and if I back out now, it's going to get really, really bad for me.

    Not to be a jerk but it seems to me like every time you get into a spat with a romantic partner suddenly your demise becomes imminent. You've been suicidal and on death's doorstep by your own account for at least four years that I can count.

    I've been to SE asia and seen how those freaks operate. it was a game to pick out the ladyboys from the real women. fortunately for straight males caucasian faggots don't have it as easy as asiatic faggots in pretenting to be females.

    note: birth-males dressing as women are faggots and defined with the pronoun 'HE' or 'HIM' or 'HIS' regardless of what they pretend to be or which bathroom they think like they should use. anyone promoting this mental disease by, themselves, encouraging or furthering the use of female pronouns inn describing the faggot is as mentally defective as the faggots which does nothing more than enable this degenerate and mentally disturbed behavior.

    Lol, I love how worked up you get over pronouns.

    No one has denied that mental illness exists, I assume you don't deny hypochondria or malingering exists, so how exactly do you propose to discriminate between the two? I think what green plastic is saying is that internet quizzes and "I'm bipolar because I think I am!" is better evidence for the latter than the former. You're going to accuse me of misunderstanding you or underestimating the amount of OCD ceremony you've put into your carefully crafted armchair medical diagnoses but you're going to be wrong because, although you seem somehow entirely blind to it, your standards for evidence, especially around diseases you think you personally have, is absolute dogshit.

    You can think particular people claiming to have diseases might have some secondary gain involved in exaggerating or fabricating them (like, say, if they found a significant part of their identity on having a particular disease) without denying the legitimacy of that disease in general. No amount of poorly drawn web comics changes that.

    Originally posted by Captain Falcon Literally nobody will read this, including me.

    I didn't see that post before it was edited. You quoting is the exclusive reason I read it.

    Originally posted by Malice Lanny, you don't know this, but sometime last month I decided to avoid trying to ask you for your thoughts on various matters, seeing you as the only person here who might show even initial signs of being deserving of something more.

    You're too young and undeveloped, a jackass in multiple critical ways.

    I certainly won't deny I'm a jackass and I wouldn't know where to start in making a case for my own "development" but I was actually trying to point out something helpful there, because you genuinely don't seem to realize it. No socialized human would ever write "I developed a fuller understanding, a generally complete understanding, drawing from prior knowledge and thoughts, creating the syntheses, connections, and novel answers" except in jest. When you're writing you're doing so to communicate, that's what writing is, communicating with other humans. There is no possible effect you could want to produce in a reader that will be achieved by producing that sentence.

    Really buddy, I have all the time in the world for bedroom philosophy, call it a hobby, but that's not what you were doing. You were telling us about how damn hard you were thinking, a linguistic spreading of your feathers, but very poorly. There are techniques in rhetoric where you might want to establish your intelligence to present a more compelling case but saying "I'm really smart and I can synthesize so much knowledge!" is not one of them. I'm not buying the "just jotting down my thoughts" line because this is a web forum, not a journal, and I can't imagine how that description of how intensely you were thinking about the philosopher you've been telling us about for months is productive even in the dubious context of recording one's thoughts.

    Like I really think you just didn't understand how that post was going to read. That's supposed to be a symptom of autism? Lack of understanding of how what you say or do is going to be taken. I actually think you could improve your communication skills by taking feedback on how things like that are counterproductive on every level.

    Alright, you have a minor in philosophy. To be perfectly honest, and of course this is regardless of the impression I evoke, which is perfectly reasonable, you do have a good grasp of the key figures in existentialism, the general technical knowledge, essentially being the kind of student that has read exactly what he should. But I have genuinely never, not once, seen you post an original thought, posit anything novel. You literally don't even try. All you're able to do is debate based on the key books you've read with people who are generally clearly incorrect/mistaken, with absolutely no creativity.

    Philosophy is a field that's several thousand years old, I studied it part time for fun for a few years and then read a couple of books after graduating. I don't feel particularly troubled by the fact that I think I have a lot more to learn than to tell. Also I did make an argument for the logical inconsistency of "indeterminism" as uncaused outcomes I've never seen presented, but I'm nearly certain someone's made it before.

    I hate to break it to you Malice, but I haven't seen you present anything that's both coherent and novel. Do you really think secular buddhism or your barnyard negative utilitarianism is new?

    You know, you really are like your hero Rust in many ways, which is a terrible thing. Do you intend to debate people on the kind of garbage Figure-8 repeatedly posted and the religious for the rest of your life, to feel superior to the lowest quality people, engage in perpetual intellectual masturbation, have an excuse to be condescending, to hate and belittle others, attempt to intellectually bully them and build an image of yourself as a superior being, yet unrecognized due to the flaws and injustices of humanity and the world they've created, their systems?

    When I see a position I disagree with on internet discussion forums I try to present the best argument against it that I can. I did like Rust, I take the comparison as a complement, he took the time to argue with me and made me look like an idiot with some regularity. It's a mode by which I've learned a lot of things I'm glad to know now. I'd like to say I think I'm doing the world a favor by bringing light to the dark ignorant corners of the internet, that would feel good, but I don't really believe it. Mostly it's just fun to argue.

    Here's a small challenge. Dwell on the above, a secular conception of the Buddhist concept of what was meant by 'reincarnation'/'rebirth', or, alternatively, 'karma', and jot down your thoughts. It can be a rough stream of consciousness as long as others are able to follow your train of thought, your insights.

    It doesn't matter if you don't feel you have enough of an understanding of Buddhism, you don't need one if you understand the general pattern of a secular/rational interpretation. Simply reading a wikipedia entry or good article could be enough. If you fear it may lead you astray, just link to what you're basing your thoughts on and I'll give my opinion on whether your errors were reasonable, stemmed from the sources.

    Don't start bitching and giving me excuses, this should even take long, you lazy alcoholic piece of shit. What does getting drunk regularly ever accomplish that's eternal? I swear, you have exactly the exact general personality of an archetypal introverted San Francisco programmer. Almost no genuine or noteworthy creativity outside of coding.

    What do you want me to say? It's Parfit without an argument and some mumbo-jumbo about "beleive this and you'll be happy". The buddhist "phenomenology", for lack of a better term, is interesting, granted. But in every presentation I've seen you start out with some actual insight into subjective experience, a taxonomy, and then "yeah but that's not real". You poke, naturally, because that's stupid, how is something you just described and I have direct access to every second not real? "Oh well by 'not real' what's actually meant is 'impermanent'" and then you're like "ok well even like Cartesian dualists don't think consciousness is immutable" and then their eyes kinda glaze over when you try and explain the difference between essential and nonessential properties and they mumble something about attachment or suffering or whatever, bonus points of some pseudo-enlightened anti-intellectualism, and you're like fuck it, why even try?

    Originally posted by Malice I rapidly began dwelling on it, then naturally moved into the meditative position with my eyes closed due to how rapidly my train of thought was developing, the depth of contemplation. In an unbroken stream I developed a fuller understanding, a generally complete understanding, drawing from prior knowledge and thoughts, creating the syntheses, connections, and novel answers. I visualized in high detail a man going through the various phases of his daily life, then starting again in the morning. The cycle of desire, uneasiness, what drives every action, present changing into past, to be lost forever, indeterminate, transient, impermanent. I even developed a new thought experiment directly related to this cycle, which is aligned with extensive writing on the problems of consciousness and identity.

    This is like the textual form of jerking yourself off in public. Since you're not actually saying anything besides how smart you are I assume you were trying to impress someone? As such, let me help you out by saying that the critical response is a lot closer to cringe than it is to awe.

    I've never watched NGE. I try now and then and get a few episodes in but it never seems to be the transcendental experience people build it up to be so I stop. I guess I just need to power through it and make my judgment when I get to the end (ends give their stories meanings and NGE's defines its associated work more than most) but I always feel like I'm wasting something that by all accounts is supposed to be awesome.

    No, there is SSL, you just didn't initiate a handshake which nginx will respond to with the stock bad request page. Even if you submitted a valid HTTP request, you'd get the same result:

    Originally posted by Discount Whore 2.0 harris isn't anti-islamic you liberal nuglord, have you ever read the koran?

    Is reading the koran supposed to convince me that islam condones violence? That seems to be Harris' take, and along with his dilettante ethics it seems entirely fair to call him anti-islamic. I mean if you want to talk more generally it seems he'd agree to the statement "the world would be better without religion" so he's anti-religion, although Islam seems to be overrepresented as a target of his criticism.

    harris is very straight shooting in his observations. I like him, but he can be overbearing with his psuedo intellectualism just like some people here. I tend to favor his cultural discussions more than the spiritual ones

    He publicizes some very old ideas with dubious attribution, although I can't really disagree with many of the ideas themselves. His knowledge of prior work is generally pretty poor, although he's gotten less retarded with time (End of Faith opened with a statement essentially tantamount to "philosophy is bullshit" and two books later he seems to have grasped a very crude form of utilitarianism).

    Kinda unlikely anyone here is going to care, but I have this piece of code I've been copy pasting between Django projects for years because it addresses a really common situation in a way I think is quite neat relative to the approach you typically see used in the docs and such. Might be worth some SEO points or something. Also possibly useful to the couple of you who poke through the ISS code now and then because it's used pervasively there.

    The situation is you have some view (the thing that handles an incoming HTTP request) and you want to do something different when a client does a GET request vs. a POST request vs. something else. This is done constantly with form handling, GET should present a form POST should validate the form and either represent with error messaging or take some action if the form is valid. The usual approach is to look at the request method in your view and branch according to what you want to do. It typically looks like this (taken from django docs):


    def get_name(request):
    # if this is a POST request we need to process the form data
    if request.method == 'POST':
    # create a form instance and populate it with data from the request:
    form = NameForm(request.POST)
    # check whether it's valid:
    if form.is_valid():
    # process the data in form.cleaned_data as required
    # ...
    # redirect to a new URL:
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')

    # if a GET (or any other method) we'll create a blank form
    else:
    form = NameForm()

    return render(request, 'name.html', {'form': form})


    If these alternative paths get long however this quickly becomes unreadable. Half the function is doing one thing and half is doing something else. Gets worse the more methods you're trying to support. So enter MethodSplitView:


    class MethodSplitView(object):
    """
    A flexible class for splitting handling of different HTTP methods being
    dispatched to the same view into separate class methods. Subclasses may
    define a separate class method for each HTTP method the view handles (e.g.
    GET(self, request, ...), POST(self, request, ...) which will be called with
    the usual view signature when that sort of request is made.

    Subclasses may also define a `pre_method_check` method which, if it returns
    a HttpResponse, will be used to response to the request instead of
    delegating to the corresponding method.
    """

    def __call__(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    if getattr(self, 'active_required', False):
    if not request.user.is_active:
    return HttpResponseForbidden('You must be an active user '
    'to do this')
    if getattr(self, 'staff_required', False):
    if not request.user.is_staff:
    return HttpResponseForbidden('You must be staff to do this.')

    meth = getattr(self, request.method, None)

    if not meth:
    return HttpResponseBadRequest('Request method %s not supported'
    % request.method)

    response_maybe = self.pre_method_check(request, *args, **kwargs)

    if isinstance(response_maybe, HttpResponse):
    return response_maybe

    return meth(request, *args, **kwargs)

    def pre_method_check(request, *args, **kwargs):
    return None

    @classmethod
    def as_view(cls):
    if getattr(cls, 'require_login', False):
    return login_required(cls())
    else:
    return cls()


    https://gist.github.com/RyanJenkins/258723c74485fb01ee85272075bad967

    Essentially this the behavior here is to look at the request method and pick a method from the subclass with the appropriate name and delegate request handling to that. So submission logic lives in one method, inquiry logic in another. On the whole it's a lot easier to visually parse quickly. One downside is that sharing logic between multiple methods is harder here, in my experience the vast majority of shared logic between methods is in the form of some kind of auth check (is the user logged in, do the have the appropriate privileges, etc) so I added a `pre_method_check` method that subclasses can specify to do this check and optionally return a response (preventing delegation to other methods). There are more opportunities for reducing boilerplate but generally at the cost of flexibility, empirically this seems to be the sweet spot and any other logic sharing can be delegated to private methods that request handling method call.

    For a concrete example, here's the user registration method using this "pattern" (kinda hate that word):


    class RegisterUser(utils.MethodSplitView):
    def pre_method_check(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    if not utils.get_config('enable_registration'):
    return render(request, 'generic_message.html', {
    'page_title': 'Registration Closed',
    'heading': 'Registration Closed',
    'message': ('Registration is temporarily closed. Check back '
    'later to register a new account. If you think '
    'this is in error, please contact the '
    'administrator.')
    })

    def GET(self, request):
    form = forms.RegistrationForm()
    ctx = {'form': form}
    return render(request, 'register.html', ctx)

    def POST(self, request):
    form = forms.RegistrationForm(request.POST)

    if form.is_valid():
    poster = form.save()

    poster = authenticate(username = form.cleaned_data['username'],
    password = form.cleaned_data['password1'])
    login(request, poster)
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/')

    else:
    ctx = { 'form': form }
    return render(request, 'register.html', ctx)
