@LatFilosof I feel like the ease of reaching paradoxes with loose application of the notion of "set" should scare people off of it. And yet.

Arguably, premise 1 isnt true. It’s not clear that if every element has property X, the set has property X. The set in itself can be uncaused while all the elements of set are caused. The universe can be the set of all caused things while not being caused. Fallacy of composition.

1. A set of dependent things is itself dependent. 2. Anything dependent requires a cause outside itself 3. The universe is a set of dependent things. 4. Therefore, the universe requires a cause outside itself.

@zippkode @DanniBrener What do you mean by "try married couples"?

Friends, I'm opening a spiritual center in Boulder!
It's called Nameless Mountain, and it's focused on spiritual maturity rather than enlightenment.
We're trying to raise $50,000 to cover this year's expenses. Please help build this with us by donating or becoming a member:

Dave Bautista said he covered up his tattoo dedicated to his friend Manny Pacquiao because Manny said something homophobic.
He said it upset him because his mother is a lesbian.
Retard 😂

@HistoryBoomer I knew a giant nit down in Texas (when I say nit, this man took Chik-Fil-A orders for everyone for lunch because he wanted to get the points) who made sure the DA filed misdemeanor charges on him the 90s. He is legally a gambler.

Years ago, I'm in an illegal poker club with some old-time players. After a few hours, one guy turns to me and says in a gravely voice:
"If the cops bust this place for gambling, they ain't gonna arrest you, because you ain't gambling."
(I'm a cautious, conservative player.)
English
@PaleBlueMomma @DanniBrener Then people should not make lifelong commitments. And I think that's fine. But if we, as a society, are going to afford marriage a bunch of privileges, there should be some expectation that people are actually committed to it.
English
@zippkode @DanniBrener Humans change. We live long lives. You are not the same person today that you were five years ago, and you cannot expect someone else to stay the same. We learn and grow, and sometimes that is apart. Staying where you aren’t wanted or do not love your partner is masochistic.
English
@tiffany_two @DanniBrener I agree that society doesn't have to be relevant to a couple's marriage. But the couple's marriage is relevant to society. If it weren't, we would try married couples the same as unmarried couples. We don't.
English
@zippkode @DanniBrener It's not a privilege to be constrained in a miserable life against your will.
As well as that, society is not relevant to a couple's marriage. Nobody else is in the marriage but them.
English
@PaleBlueMomma @DanniBrener I wouldn't want to. When you make a commitment, what you want is no longer the primary thing that matters.
English
@zippkode @DanniBrener Why? If someone wants out of a relationship, what is the point of continuing? Why would you ever want to be with someone who didn’t love you?
English
@cheerpoasting @sleepy_devo Even if they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior? A lot of people will tell you that's all you need and implying that anything else is necessary is heretical.
English
@zippkode @sleepy_devo Yes. If someone never says they are Christian, never prays, never reads the bible, and never attends Church, then calling them a "Christian" has no linguistic function.
English
It's actually that words need to point at things to be useful. if the word "woman" points at no identifiable characteristics independent of your desire to be pointed at, it's not a grammatically functional word.
This is why you couldn't actually answer this question:
nyara@nyaraVT
Transphobes cannot comprehend the concept of self-identification because they don’t know who they are beyond the labels society forced onto them by observing their primary sex characteristics.
English
@cheerpoasting @sleepy_devo We're not talking about practicality, though. We're talking about grammatic functionality.
English
@cheerpoasting @sleepy_devo That's why I said no *necessary* external indicia. You can be a Christian without praying, reading the Bible, attending church, etc.
English
@zippkode @sleepy_devo Belief general has external effects. In this example, praying, reading the bible, attending Church, certain speech acts.
English
@cheerpoasting @sleepy_devo Right. But belief is an internal state, at least for now.
English
@zippkode @sleepy_devo I mean, we can capture a lot of them with "believing Jesus Christ is your savior"
English
@tiffany_two @DanniBrener "for a lot of people" is not relevant to whether society affords them special privilege.
English
@zippkode @DanniBrener Marriage is subjective. For a lot of people, being in a relationship forever is the ideal. Marriage is only good if two people are happy in it. Expecting people to feel constrained or trapped is a surefire path to disaster.
English
@FootballLearn1 @TyDunne That's what I'm saying though. We can simulate a lot about field conditions. Get that vr setup Jayden Daniels uses.

The NFL's resistance to full-time officials is forever the mystery of our time.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
The NFL is laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season if the league is unable to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Referees Association, per @SeifertESPN. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
English
@tiffany_two @DanniBrener Of course it is. You can go on Twitter any day of the week and see people saying that it's bad to simply be in a relationship forever. They view marriage as more important than other forms of romantic relationships. This impacts all kinds of laws and social customs.
English
@zippkode @DanniBrener Marriage isn't a privileged social position. It's a relationship status between two people and two people alone.
The key to a happy life will never be found in the sentence "you have to be constrained."
English
@emmasarchivee I think those lyrics are ugly and do not express views anyone should be proud to hold. They are also about individual people. That is a different kind of bad than stereotyping.

@FootballLearn1 @TyDunne We have very good simulators. Game reps are great, but I bet spending a couple hundred hours watching 0.5s simulated videos of targets would be helpful too.
English
@TyDunne You need game reps to get better. What NFL games would they be officiating in the off-season? They already watch film. They already are critiqued on their performance.
