No, but I do think they start thinking like they're the people they see on TV, judging others by the standards of what they see on TV, etc.
People say that facebook gives people unrealistic expectations of what your life should be like - but TV does so times a million.
And TV also acts as an artificial friend - you feel less alone when there's a TV on - but the less said about that the better, as it's so depressing. -

2019-02-09 at 5:41 PM UTC in Going to be single on Valentines DayHonestly, I can't help thinking about how much shit I've dealt with from women, how shitty they've always behaved, and how much better off I would be if I never had had anything to do with them all.
Women are just non-stop flakiness, bullshit and bad attitude.
I suspect that TV does it to them, the only decent women I ever met were those who didn't watch TV. -
2019-02-09 at 4:47 PM UTC in Christianity BTFO'd
Originally posted by Eval/Apply Because the idea of Christianity as a life denying philosophy and a "slave religion" is a pretty old idea in western thought with direct lineage to Nietzsche. I mean the jedi conspiracy angle is a bit of your personal spin born of your deep feelings of insecurity about jedis, but even that isn't too far from Nietzsche's line of thinking.
But Christianity is a based on a certain level of rejection of the world - some strains more so, some strains less. Why do you think Monks walled themselves off, and Priests chose to take vows of celibacy, poverty and obedience?
Did the Gnostics read Nietzche when they declared physical things base and sinful? Were the Desert Fathers inspired by Thus Spake Zarathustra? Did the followers of Savonarola read Ecce Homo before having their bonfire of the vanities?
All Nietzsche did was point something out - and pointing something out isn't the same as creating something.
And incidentally all I do about jedis is point stuff out. -

judging by the mess I'm guessing they tried to throw it back when the police shot it into the crowd
Oh :(
That's kinda what I was thinking it was.
Macron genuinely is a thug.

If I was in charge I'd make you beg to have Lanny back. -

2019-02-09 at 1:51 PM UTC in GDPR and the recent emphasis on privacyI also think that there's also a deeper layer to privacy, a layer of bugman-ism, such that whatever we do is no longer going to have consequences.
Julius Caesar is actually a great example as he was a man of decision and action. He gambled everything and invaded Gaul then gambled again and broke Roman law and invaded Rome itself, saying "Alea iacta est" (the die has been rolled) as he led his armies across the Rubicon.
He had the sort of life that wasn't about sneaking around, having secrets, hiding from his past (apart from his creditors), and pretending to be something he wasn't.
And whatever about GDPR, the right to be forgotten isn't at all about protecting people's freedom to do whatever the fuck they want, but 100% about allowing people cover up their previous public actions in order to allow them to pretend to be something they aren't. -

Originally posted by Eval/Apply "I don't have any actual argument but trust me, you're wrong, I just know. P.S. Here's a link that doesn't really relate to anything, ima just pretend like it is somehow a response to prior points"
Lanny's rebuttal to me focused on how he seems to think that hiding the fact that a doctor has a bad past from prospective patients is tolerable.
But only the rich, such as Doctors and Billionaire businessmen, can afford to access the court procedure to enforce their "right to be forgotten".
I contend again that GDPR is about hiding who knows who, what people are up to, who is where, etc. And the motivations behind that seem to me to be very suspect.
Which is more likely - politicians genuinely care about the public, or just don't want their sleazy personal affairs known to the public?
Maybe I'm cynical.
What would history look like if privacy law was enforced in old times? Could Julius Caesar assert his right to be forgotten?
