Helen of Troy has one, and only one, relevant character trait: very pretty.

In the Ancient Greek story, she's basically an object. An excuse to go to war. A MacGuffin. All the audience needs is to see her and go "yeah, I get it." Any beautiful actress can do that.

Such a weird hill to die on.

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

"My money is not making me happy…"

"Well, what have you been doing with the money?"

"Making other people unhappy"

🤔

"For example last year I spent $300 million on an elaborate campaign to hurt my own child"

🤔

had to look this up because i was pretty sure there was no Shakespeare play of this name and there isn't: instead today i learned that Shakespeare did a guest verse in a play by some hacks in the early 1590s. you love to see it

my roommate who has a job: yeah. sure.

Three chibis of Rin (Fate) in Takeuichi's chibi style from the Taiga Dojo segments in Fate/Stay Night. One is directly traced, while the other two are invented based on the style. They depict, Rin standing and smoking, Rin holding a gun, and Rin smoking, her hair blowing in the wind, and holding a bottle of alcohol.

rin practice!

Supererogation is a customary notion, not one that belongs to morals. It's why Kant has no use for the notion. Supererogatory actions are those that you won't have others much criticizing you for not doing, but what others will get on you about isn't what morals is properly concerned with.

“The U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,’ and ‘you cannot blame us all.’ And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.”

A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...

The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

Bezos gets to choose on a whim to destroy the Washington Post, just as Thiel can destroy Gawker, Musk can ruin Twitter, Ellison can take over TikTok, etc. Millions of others' opposition counts for near nothing.

if your choices were 'give the gestapo 10 million dollars up front' versus 'give the gestapo an additional 1 million dollars every year for 10 years', ', the latter is obviously the "good" that you're letting the perfect be the enemy of

you ever just look at a post. like really look at it

Just reminded of the existence of Ubel. Frieren is such a good show. About halfway through watching it with my girlfriend and it holds up on the third viewing. (We cry a lot. That's how you can tell a show is good, when it makes you cry a lot in interesting ways.)

Elon not being happy despite having all the money is like someone losing at a game in tutorial mode, which he also does

Intentional vocabulary involves oblique contexts.

And even if you could write a concept-expression on its own, it would have to look like " is an object conserving angular momentum". You forgot the copula.

No, angular momentum is a fregean object. Anything you can name is fregean object. That's the point of the essay. The concept "horse" is an object and not a concept.

just found out the fate heavens feel manga has spent the last four chapters solely on the sakura sex scene and im pretty sure that shit is monthly

do not ask me what to do with this knowledge i do not know

Trump Denies Writing 36-Volume Comic Titled ‘Don And Jeff: Time Pedophiles’ WASHINGTON—Dismissing the swashbuckling sci-fi romp as “a total hoax” amid growing scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump made remarks Tuesday denying that he had ...

Been thinking about Epstein files wrt satire. Reading the mediaverse we're to pretend Epstein suicided, DOJ is complying with the law etc, even though these are obviously false. You'll never see "Pedophile in Chief Takes Bribes Yet Again."

This makes Onion articles feel more real than "real" news.

Any description using intentional vocabulary is mental, in Davidson's sense.

Wherever things are moving.

the thing about Vance is that he's gross and overtly evil but what I still can't get over how cool he thinks he is. Beyond delusional

And "described by laws" once again fails to respect the distinction between the extensional and the intensional. A mental event can be described using physical-nomic vocabulary; it is only not described as mental in that case. Describing it using mental vocabulary is when no laws obtain.

There is no conceptuality without sociality, and vice-versa. Neither direction holds for the physical.

oh get over yourself, you're just wifeslop. she only likes u because she can picture herself spending the rest of her life with u

Miss Piggy and Sabrina Carpenter

I'm impressed at how logistically, Sabrina Carpenter is like the perfect height to host the Muppets

Such a banger. Watched the whole thing through so many times, holds up so well
