Metaethics and Animal ethics, frustratingly crude in my philosophical opinion, and not good at twitter no pronoun preferences, take your pick

@OttokarHochman there is a case for the term "what it's like [to be a bat]"
English
An interesting challenge I just thought of: there's a common trope of declaring that certain German, French, Chinese, etc. philosophical or literary concepts are untranslatable. What's a concept from the *English* philosophical tradition which is similarly untranslatable?
English
@grouchydiogenes @fearthe_void they are puppets of zeus specifically and keep saying that zeus' decision is what produces outcomes, basically every book
English
@fearthe_void Both are equally stupid in this discussion. Homer's heroes (as most ancient Greek literature) heroes are absolutely not puppets of the Gods. They can oppose the Gods, insult them, commit hubris, etc.

@OG_Zig_Zag @DarthK4iser that is a sumo move, but not a very successful one, so that's probably a good bet but something he is exceedingly good at defending against
English
@DarthK4iser You supposed to go for his legs in a situation like that. Instead of trying to knock him out you just take away his ability to move. Once he's not able to continuously press his offense by charging at you is when you can focus on out pacing him and scoring points.
English
Trying to punch out a guy trying to grab you is the right move except for sumo wrestlers who entire sport is around taking blows while trying to toss a guy the size of a mountain

@Knightly_Hist @beakieenjoyer They were not injured „extremly bad“. Serious injuries only occur by saber duels, which are illegal. But the Mensur is not stolen valor, it is a formalized test of fortitude and works for that purpose.
English
Menshur is a fascinating but then you come across a recording of how it was actually done and it's the most "stolen valor" shit you've ever seen.

@ahh1l @JeremyMonjo it was,and it killed star wars as a money making enterprise
English
@JeremyMonjo i mean the force awakens is shit and I hate it, but was it not a massive hit financially
English
Really funny watching people debate which dud killed the Star Wars golden goose. It was Force Awakens. It was always Force Awakens.
English
@Benthamsbulldog I think it is anything but silly to try to do things you can do instead of more important things you manifestly have no affect on
English
I think Greta Thunberg's worldview is a bit silly, in that she believes that climate change will kill Earth but decided to shift her activism to other issues.

Reading Baki the grappler before the illiad fucks you up because homers hitting you with "whatevercles hefted his vast chest towards whositoclus, who thrust his spear in response" and in my minds eye it looks exactly like the Maximum Tournament

@igorhansachat @B1ench3n_ i fucking love this, the two options are: reasonable prices (but it happens to be sunday) and it is not sunday (but now the prices have risen)
English
@B1ench3n_ There is a simple explanation behind it: there is nothing else to do.
Everything is either closed on Sunday or costs too much or not attractive due to weather

I never realized how much we Germans love walking til I talked to non Germans, like we make every situation into a waking situation, after you ate? Yeah do a digestion walk, u wanna pre game? Sure let’s get on a walk with our walking drink, first date? Sure let’s go on a walk

@jonpeng @isaiah_bb @officerbill Yes, I’m compensated for injuries incurred due to prolonged exposure to toxic burn pits in Afghanistan. That isn’t public assistance

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.
English
@Mountain_Tui What a strange post. Are you OK? You seem extremely triggered by the fact women are not men & have our own biological unique qualities & characteristics that can't be replicated by men.
English
So the funny thing about the NZ First Gender Bill is it formally acknowledges transgender women as biological females

is there a name for this style of argument:
someone introduces a tautologically true statement with a couple of definitions thrown in. they choose names which are super suggestive and then they flip between the definition and the colloquial meaning of the word as convenient

@Keeiirafm4ii31 @kassandraboss you will probably go bald! You'll look good tho
English
@kassandraboss It’s not too late for me? 😭
Am I gonna bald if I transition to male?
Will Asian genes hold up against baldness?
That’s the only reason I’m wearing a binder, and not doing HRT yet. But even if I don’t transition, I might need HRT if I lose my last ovary to cyst…1 left.

There are 56 recognized ethnic groups in China. There were more than 100 ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. These are some of the most diverse, multinational societies that have ever existed.

@socialistharpy @craizymeal @shift_in2_turbo Ok. How about real life. Show me a diverse socialist society
English
@chimeraxmachina “Multinational" I don't think that's the official line.
English
I think we're just using words differently. I'd call your view dualism. But as Humpty Dumpty wisely observed, we can use words how we like.

As a quantum panprotopsychist I do NOT believe matter has an unknown nature. After collapse, matter is ‘material’, like the Bohr atom or similar. But prior to collapse in superposition of possibilities the matter ( or equivalent spacetime curvature) is shredded and evolving toward many worlds. But OR occurs with a moment of experience and material reality is temporarily restored.

@PurrsonVT @tumultuoscalm we dont see his death, we dont know how he acted
English
The fact that Garth Ennis, the man who wrote Crossed, and who wrote The Boys, because he legitimately fucking hated superhero comics, and who’s entire brand is “what if the worst most humiliating thing happened” was able to somehow write a more appropriate and tasteful death is actually something of an accomplishment.
English
This is shortly after he puts his plan to storm the White House into motion
The point is that his brand of evil is both completely unoriginal (something both Billy and Stilwell call him out on) and something he doesn’t even fully believe he’s capable of
