Why is hedonism pointless but learning is not?
I mean, the whole point of hedonism is that it is enjoyable/pleasurable. Doesn't seem pointless to be happy. Might be meaningless in some sort of grand scheme of things but that doesn't really matter when you're enjoying the moment.
Learning could be considered hedonistic if it's something you enjoy doing. It could also be considered pointless if mankind or the universe itself is destined for doom and everything we worked for and all the knowledge we gained was in vain. -
2017-10-25 at 9:34 PM UTC in Let's discuss sci-fiI like sci-fi. I don't really have any favorites, but I like stuff that seems "deep" and "philosophical", stuff that can really make you question your own reality.
Have you ever heard of "the metamorphosis of prime intellect"? It's actually a fairly weird and poorly written short story but there a few ideas in there that I really really like.
Ever hear about VALIS, the vast active living intelligence system? I really like this concept. Never read the book, but I really really like the idea of VALIS.
I enjoyed 2001: A space odyssey, and more recently Interstellar.
Obviously I like to think about reality and what it is and what it could be, what we are and what our future will become. I feel like science fiction is a great avenue for speculation on that sort of thing. -

2017-10-18 at 8:55 PM UTC in Replaced turn signal lever now high beams wont activate
Originally posted by Panthrax I added cruise control to my vehicle so I replaced the existing turn signal lever with one that has the cruise control switches built in.
The factory 'stalk' controlled turn signals, high beam, and windshield wipers + fluid sprayer. New one has the same functions plus electrical switches for cruise.
The high beam is activated by pulling the lever towards you and letting it spring back, this moves a steel linkage that runs through the steering column to a switch down above the pedals. It still moves the linkage but not far enough to activate the switch. I can reach down and push the switch manually to operate it. The new lever doesn't seem to have any limitation compared to the old one with how far you can swing it so what gives.

If you can reach down an operate the switch just rewire a new switch in better location and forget about the stupid stalk as long as everything else is functional. -

Originally posted by Totse 2001 Well.. it seems AIDS is now seen as a new type of Diabetes a diseased caused by lifestyles not considered ideal?
then someone found a treatment for AIDS and people like Magic Johnson have had it for 20 years and no signs of being sick from it? as long as you keep taking the regiment of medication.
prior to 1990s (even late?) AIDS was a death sentence.
in the 1980s and 1990s, every fucking day, billboards, tv commercials 20-30 times a day, even during the Theater's pre-trailers, advertisements of wrap it like a raincoat.
years and years of this shit. I remember sitting on a couch, when I was like 14-15 years old. smoking a Joint with this neighbor across the street. and the story of the Gay Bath Houses in LA and San Francisco spreading this mysterious disease called "Gay Cancer" or some shit. maybe 1980-81. The doctors knew about it but didn't want a panic of a possible epidemic. ("And the Band Played On")
Anyways, the dude I was sitting with turns to me and says "Wait until this shit spreads to straight people" (or normal people. or however he stated it then) I just got laid the first time by a lady friend of my brother. I developed a fear of sex shortly afterwards.
Anyways, I Digress.. Not verbatim by the other kid, but close enough.
I think 1983, the first cases showed up in shitloads of straight people. I remember how that spread in the news. took a while to find out many of the ones tested positive for this new virus had experimented with heroin or had sex with prostitutes and or were bisexual which spread to the straight people.
as you may know, HIV was found to be the Protein/Virus which was related to SIV. Wiki says something about the first known case in 1800s. I read perhaps 1600s by sailors going into the Congo. and a Doctor in 1959 had died in the Congo and his body was dug up and they somehow got a positive test of HIV. but didn't know for sure if it was a rare false positive.
funny thing is I looked at the AIDS map in Africa (Most recent cases). The Congo (North Republic and south) have one of the lowest rates of HIV. like 0.08. it came from there but the people were smart enough to campaign to help stop it by passing out shitloads of condoms and sex educate the people.(While it was called Zaire before going back to Congo?)
But places like South Africa, about 22-40 percent (it changes from region) of the people have that shit.
imagine a 1 in 2-3 odds of sleeping with some fine chick you meet at a club having AIDS or HIV while visiting what you view as another Western Nation.
South Africa used to be fairly modern but shit fell apart during the ending of Apartheid? I mean it needed to happen yet the abandonment of it seemed to throw the place into economic disaster and a rise in HIV/AIDS
And the Congo has a lower HIV percentage than the USA. go figure. USA some states have 0.5-1.5 percent infection compared to the original source site of now being 0.08.
Perhaps it's the needles exhcanged among homeless. people only homeless for a short time, and getting hooked on herin out of depression and getting infected, thinking "This is 2017.. AIDS, Grandma's Generation?"
then spreading it. for like 15-20 years there has been little talk of AIDS> only recently do I hear ads about "People who skip their doses". WTF??
like I said.. Hippy faggots fucking everywhere.. worst case.. razor piss.
Generation X= Pull the condom off at orgasm and jerk off on her face, then go get tested. and wait 6 months before having sex again. maybe double up on the condoms (people did that shit–lol)
Now, MOON PERSONs. Swipe Swipe Swipe- Netflix and fuck.
"Oh.. I forgot to take my dose"
"Oh you got Diabetes?" "No AIDS.. you should go get your dose too"
Swipe swipe!
