@chlouds121600 @jrmamana well it's not a real quote lol. Nietzsche is, if nothing else, a much better sylist

another bad argument from the great humorist nietzsche
The Best@Thebestfigen
The truest thing Nietzsche ever said; "If you ki*ll a cockroach, you're a hero. If you kil*l a butterfly, you're evil. Therefore, morality has aesthetic standards."

@saturnine_grace Christ does not demand we be free of worldly sin, He demands we repent earnestly for what sin we do commit.
*Forgiveness* is the highest virtue. To be completely free of sin would be to reject living, to reject life. To reject life is to deny God's will in gifting us this world.

It's extremely obvious that Jesus pretty much categorically prohibits involvement in money, property, sex, and violence, and it requires massive amounts of subversive cope to disguise this fact. A faithful Christianity would have looked like Jainism or Shakerism.

@AccurateCaption Yes. I’m assuming on the understanding that other sexualities were already banned, making the one permissible one, no longer permissible.

this guy is literally Jerry Storey from Lives of Girls and Women lmfao. except with even less game somehow

Two doubts: - How was she smart? lexical or procedural smart? - How did you know she internalized an "IQ downgrade marriage" Here is the pattern: smart women don't want to date even smarter men, because such smart men are not 10/10 motorbike drug addict musician with 6 abs. Anecdotally, I knew smart high performing women. I outperformed them by some margin and they never wanted to date me, because I was a skinny geek guy with eyeglasses and hobbies they somehow didn't understand & less appreciated. Like computers.

@hideeveryflower Ah I see.
He is not me in any meaningful sense. He seems to have a longer horizon but overall unfruitful connection.
Mine decohere in 5s to 5hours with practically nothing gained and some to medium investment lost.

@akarnokd the narrator goes on to pseudo-date this guy but then find her first love with a guy who's really sexy and used to get into bar fights / is now crazy born-again Christian. But Munro was committed to dating evil men lol; it's really not a meaningful tendency.

I suspect that pursued rightly the conclusions of deontologists, virtue ethicists, and utilitarians should be broadly aligned if the world does indeed have its ground of Being in the ultimate Good.

@ogre81 @frontier_foid 3 of the 5 categories are in non-white majority places. Of the 2 white majority regions, one of the writers is white. Seems fine

@hideeveryflower @frontier_foid Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.... lotta white folks there

doesn't seem like an one off. of the 5 stories that won, 3 appear to be primarily ai written according to pangram.... 🙄🙄
Nabeel S. Qureshi@nabeelqu
Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize). "Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing. A major milestone for AI, at any rate... @GrantaMag

Recognizing that Augustine is completely correct about evil babies is an absolutely vital step in the Christian life.

have a feeling labatut’s work will age poorly, will not elaborate
Jessica Hooten Wilson@HootenWilson
One of the best explanation for why colleges dropped humanities & classics is Jacobs's Year of our Lord 1943. Scientific progress pushed out moral formation. Also read Labatut's book on science in WWII (fiction). barnesandnoble.com/w/the-year-of-…

@ogre81 @frontier_foid It's a regional prize for areas in the "British Commonwealth". Most of those places are majority non-white, because of what the British Commonwealth is.
English
@frontier_foid Looking at the winners, is there also some rule against white men winning? Black woman, Asian Woman, Brown Man, Brown Man, White Woman.
(Although we can't be sure about Brown Man #2, because even his photo is AI-generated).

@Alexandra6132 @_galadrielle The words are a paraphrase of a line from the sermon on the mount. you want the comic to be charlie brown paraphrasing the sermon on the mount and then linus just, looks awed, it's so profound? These things are meant to be funny. You have no taste.

@basichoeunicorn @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx hunter is not trying to force a particular way of having sense onto anyone? she's saying "sometimes people try to make me do this kind of sex which I don't like."
English
@hideeveryflower @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx Okay, but she has a penis…… so it’s like there. It’s not like it disappeared, even if Hunter doesn’t want to use it. Her having a penis changes how she can have sex. Not everyone wants to experience that kind of sex. The end.

Hunter Schafer reveals some CIS women she hooked up with specifically wanted her to f66k them and “perform like a man” because she’s trans and has d66k, sparking massive debate online about sexuality, gender roles, and what people are really attracted to behind closed doors 👀💔
“And i’ve had hookups before but like Cis women were… they wanted me to like f6k them like a guy and it’s because i have a d66k and then like that coming up in a hookup, im like Oh God 😔,… it’s tough but then you would find people who would just get it”👀👀
English
@basichoeunicorn @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx the point is that hunter schafer doesn't want to have sex with her penis either! lmfao
English
@hideeveryflower @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx Right. So this illustrates how people understand sexuality differently. Some people may argue virginity and gender is a construct while others believe that gender and virginity have objective definitions. I don’t feel comfortable having “lesbian” sex w a penis.
English
@basichoeunicorn @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx I think some people would say they're virgins after oral and fingering, and some wouldn't!
English
@hideeveryflower @workerxParty @Faunsway @hyzontopclipx So then why do people still say they are a virgin even when they have had oral/fingering sex? Genuinely. I have had a girlfriend, and I grew up in a very open community. I consider lesbian “sex” to be tribbing
