Live it up, you faggots.
Probably going to kill myself now. Have fun.
I laughed until I remembered you're pregnant. That's fucking horrible. Start treatment now so that your child has less of a chance of getting it. The earlier you start, the better the chances of stopping HIV from passing. You know you aren't going to actually kill yourself, so do your kid a fucking favor and do what you can. Should also probably call up your clients.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-02-22 at 11:43 PM UTC in what the fuck did harvey weinstein do that was so bad
Originally posted by HTS Shhh. The guns and blackmail are metaphorical. There is no overt threat to their careers in the same way "nice house, shame if it burned down" isn't an overt threat.
Just because some of the women who turned him down were fine, that doesn't mean that every woman who did was. Angelina Jolie is Hollywood, she knew people. Imagine all the potential famous actresses who didn't make it because they declined to suck some Weinstein dong and weren't well established Hollywood people. :o :o
The threat in a situation like this is basically "the implication", except instead of the implication being you're stranded on a boat with a guy who wants sex, your career is stranded in a hotel room with a guy who wants sex.
What the fuck happened to freedom? Yes, freedom to guns and legalizepot240 but also the freedom to manipulate bitches into fucking you for career advancement. Do you really fucking think sexual coercion should be a crime? Can you imagine how much that would be abused? This SJW shit is ridiculous. Not everything that is unethical needs to be illegal. It's GOOD that Weinstein has not yet met charges, and it's GOOD that his misconduct has been spread eagle'd for everyone to see.
It should be your responsibility to be mentally strong enough to deny advances. I don't know why the fuck all you SJWs think that consensual sex needs to be a crime. I've turned down sex that I felt pressured to participate in. I've also had sex that I felt pressured to participate in and really didn't want to. Lots of times, actually. You don't see me getting all victimy over it.
I've also been groped by men and women against my will. I said no, and all of them stopped but one. In a Walmart too. Another time at a bus station. I didn't realize how abusive it was at the time, but because I was in public, I didn't want to draw attention and make my 'no' any louder. But do you see the difference? I didn't have a choice in the latter example, I was being groped whether I liked it or not.
If Harvey Weinstein had continued when people said no, it would've been rape. But he didn't. People said no and they walked out. He did not sexually ASSAULT them. Which is the definition for rape.
I don't know why you want to lower the standard for what constitutes as rape. It would make like 60% of the population rapists, men and women alike. Coercion is not rape. Action is rape. -

2018-02-22 at 1:44 AM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meatZanick, do you actually believe domesticating an animal and then stunning it before quickly shooting it in the head is less moral than allowing a predator to rip it to shreds while it slowly bleeds out, suffering while it wonders what it could have been?
I think you should go out right now and get yourself a nice cheeseburger as a tribute to the cow that offered its labour and domestication for your consumption. Not doing so is objectively immoral.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-02-22 at 1:32 AM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meat
Originally posted by Zanick Cheetahs and panthers and tigers and wolves don't have the capacity for moral decisionmaking. If you tried to teach them about utilitarian ethics and how they can be applied to the animals they kill and eat, they would probably kill and eat you. Humans have ethical reasoning, and most of us embrace some kind of personal imperative not to needlessly harm others. Therefore, it is logical that a human being which concerns itself with the moral dilemma of whether or not to eat animals can resolve this problem by abstaining from eating animals. This is the essence of the moral argument, and I think this much is essential for someone defending the vegetarian side of this debate. There are those who invoke various arguments from religious canon, twisting them around to generate reasons why this faith or that abhors killing, but we need only a secular version of this to draw a fairly tight argument against the killing of animals.
So we are not obligated to kill by our status as apex predator - the same conditions by which we dominate other beings also grants us the opportunity to save them. Nowhere is it written that a being which can kill, should.
Even being a vegetarian I totally disagree with this. I think if you kill it yourself in the wild or on your farm or whatever, it's perfectly fine to eat it
I also think that would keep the vast majority of people today away from eating it in the first place though
It's not killing or eating animals that I take issue with, it's the way the animals are treated, all the hormones and shit that gets pumped into them, and all the feces and bad things that make it into the final productThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-02-22 at 12:06 AM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meatSorry Zanick, I feel absolutely no moral obligation to not consume sentient animals. I don't think "morality" is any sort of argument anyway, especially on an individual level where people like me literally struggle to feel any sort of "empathy" (even though I rationally understand what you're talking about). "Might does not make right" is not an argument, especially since consuming higher amounts of protein contributed to the growth of our prefrontal cortex (which is responsible for your linguistic abilities which attempt to oppose the killing and eating of animals). If your ancestors only ate plants and nuts you would not be able to make this thread. Of course, this is a "natural fallacy" (since "natural" does not mean "right") but I am a member of a species in an ecosystem which sustains (and has sustained) itself by eating animals. I agree that modern farming where chickens and cows are kept in fucked up conditions is pretty abhorrent, but this is an entirely separate issue to eating animals. Can you please explain to me why killing and eating animals, whose genes have contributed to their tasty propensity, is objectively wrong and not merely something that makes you feel uncomfortableThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Daily I'm gonna go with no since the etiology of bipolar, bpd, schizophrenia and general psychosis overlap
and autism
and adhd
actually most mental illnesses have significant overlap, and there's no reason to distinguish between diagnoses, and instead doctors should focus on treating individual symptoms than imaginary constructs
the DSM handing out diagnoses has created a whole generation of special snowflakes who define their entire personality by a short labelThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-02-05 at 10:52 PM UTC in Prepare to cum bucketsYou can buy this for $240, it accepts micro sd cards.

Theeeen
Load that sucker up with one of these bad boys
I can't believe they make sd cards so big.
You could load a loooot of music onto something that size ....
Remember the ipod mods, where people would load them up with larger hard drives and better batteries?
This is sort of like that, only much better.
They had 500gb hard drives in them I think, but they were like laptop drives so very large and probably gave off a ton of heat.
This is a 400gb micro sd card, so much more reliable.
I'm gonna get this combo.
Basically I'll load it up with everything I can think of, everything from lolicore and harshu noizu to podcasts and audiobooks.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon If used a QRNG to make a decision, would that count as free will?
Originally posted by Captain Falcon Why? A choice made from a QRNG is not a product of prior causal change, and are undetermined. It fits your definition exactly.
The QRNG would give you a truly random number associated with one action of many that you chose as a result of causality.
Also it isn't free will because you aren't actually choosing anything, the QRNG is doing all the deciding. :OThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by mmQ If one or the other could be proven would it matter or change how we live?
Not really. We're all operating under the assumption that we have free will, and if we discovered for certain that we didn't... we literally couldn't change how we live.
So yeah. This is why I'm bored. This the most circlejerky of all philosophical circlejerks.
Rest assured though: we don't have free will.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-01-24 at 7:33 PM UTC in Policeman beheaded and son has heart/skin removed while aliveEssentially this boils down to CF saying you have free will if you're free to enact your will, and me 'n' obbe saying you have free will if your will itself is not a result of factors outside your control.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Captain Falcon You "keep" being retarded and not understanding the contention of compatibilism, which is that we are in fact a meat computer but that doesn't prevent us from taking responsibility for our actions/have agency. I say "keep" because I've already addressed this at least a dozen times. I can't really do anything if you refuse to grasp basic English.
I'll use the simplest possible words to put this as a syllogism:
1. If you want to do something and
2. Someone else's wants don't stop you from doing something or make you do something then
3. You are free
1. If the universe is governed by a set of laws that determine the physical
2. And you are part of the universe, governed by those laws
3. Then you are not free.
Not being impeded by another person in the process of taking an action you "want" to do changes nothing as to whether you were free/had a choice to "want" that in the first place. -_-The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon An idea like a soul has no relevance to free will.
I explained why it does - if your consciousness is a product of the mechanistic physical world we live in, your consciousness is as mechanically determined as everything else. Every atom in the universe, every subatomic particle, is where it is as a result of the conditions of our universe. If your thoughts are carried by the physical, all your actions determined by those thoughts, then you aren't actually in control - physics is.
You are a meat computer.
Whatever the universe inputs, your output is always determined by your meat... and the way your meat works is governed by the universe. Without a soul, separate from the meat, ungoverned by the universe... it's pretty irrational to assume you are actually in control. 🤗

2018-01-24 at 5:58 AM UTC in DeterminismGoing back on what I said in the last post, maybe random counts as 'free will'? As in will that isn't constrained, even if it isn't coherent.
The semantics aren't all that important to me though; I just don't see any alternative to either a deterministic or a random universe, and by extension the behaviours of anything that exists within it. Any argument for free will if you accept the above just seems like a way to try to preserve a sense of 'self' where there doesn't really appear to be one.
In the case of your robot, it still follows the same pattern as a person - sets of behaviours that are created deterministically (either by design or by the results of previous behaviours/decisions), which are then affected by external (random) stimuli. You could (and probably will) argue that the quantum matter it derives its random seed from is internal, but it doesn't change the fact that it's random and therefore results in a randomised behaviourThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
