@sanbonito_ You can exist and thrive in a capitalist society without adopting this silly extrinsic motivation model. One should read, paint, and meditate because they are intrinsically valuable, ends unto themselves. It is perfectly possible to understand this in a capitalist society

"lee libros para arreglar tus problemas de atención" "haz deporte para generar dopamina y no caer en depresión" "pinta para controlar tu ansiedad" "aprende a meditar para no pegarte un tiro" en el capitalismo todas las cosas bonitas sirven para soportar esta basura de sistema.

I hate how Americans talk about books. Go fuck yourself, more than three books exist and they exist for their own sake

Orlando Magic HQ@OMagicHQ·19h

Heartbreak in Orlando. The Orlando Magic season ends after a 3-1 series lead slips away… and a brutal 24-point collapse at home in Game 6. A true rollercoaster of a season from start to finish. Now it’s all about the offseason. What moves come next?

@NeneyesJ @LionelThrilling Saying Joel embiid plays basketball like a Zionist is one of the least interesting things ever said by anyone. It shows that you neither understand Zionism nor basketball lmao

English

Jim Concrete@JimConcrete_·21h

@NeneyesJ @LionelThrilling Imposing cheap political slogans, which are trite and reductive, onto everything is only entertaining to a person who has lost the ability to think with any depth or breadth. It is a sign of deep immaturity and ideological possession.

@slowlearer @deadwronghist Yes, in fact he believes this abstract love for humanity, even if sincere, can be thinly-veiled narcissism if the person uses it to virtue signal. This is terrible problem in the modern day

@JimConcrete_ @deadwronghist Doesn't Zosima present this irritation as insufficient for Christian love? It's important to separate a character's voice from the author's.

Dead Wrong History@deadwronghist·2d

Carlin told Charlie Rose he'd stopped caring about humanity. Not as a pose — as a genuine philosophical position he'd arrived at after watching every movement he'd ever believed in fail.

@AldousAsterion “More intolerable than a fiends’ glarings is a doltish stare” Ahab is maddened, perhaps most of all, that a world filled with calamity and evil can take on the appearance of something beautiful, mild, and serene. “All loveliness is anguish to me”

I love this one because a superficial glance will make it seem that a hostile eye of providence has emerged from the void, and this is totally apropos.

@JoeGoodberry The bengals do not draft fallers because they’re averse to drafting talented players

@AdaptSkill @TheoAshNFL This is why Zach Thomas is the prototype for the modern linebacker

betz@AdaptSkill·13 Nis

@TheoAshNFL good eye, his dip timing is atrocious. Hard for a 6’5 guy he will probably become an upper tackle guy like Kuechly/Urlacher and just have to focus on his clamp in the league

Theo Ash@TheoAshNFL·13 Nis

Styles struggling in solo tackles makes sense to me. His footwork approaching contact is questionable and he aims a bit high. He was in so many vices it was tough to judge.

@keegolol He’s plenty smart he just can’t see things quickly enough. I can’t process either. I’m a smart enough guy, visual processing speed is terrible. It’s the rarest quality for a QB to have.

Hurts can’t process well enough to attack those areas and drop straight back If you’re gonna be that way though and survive, you have to get everything down to down on the run game/run-action. That’s where Hurts’ unwillingness to run AND unwillingness under center KILLS them
