no, making blanket statements about a group of people based on the actions of their government is what sounds antisemitic. doubly so when the blanket statement is a blatant racial stereotype. like you can't just pretend that shit isn't real?? "Israelis are duplicitous"?? what the fuck, do you even know any Israelis? you're talking about my fucking friend asshole, and they dont approve of bibi either
fine, it's not anti Semitic. it's bigoted. is that better?? is this the hill you'll fucking die on?
this is basically like you saying "those blacks sure are lazy" and i said "excuse me, that's antisemitic". fine, i might be an idiot, but you're still a fucking racist asshole.
and you fucking ideological sheep reading this and playing along, caring more about politics and buzzwords than bigotry and hatred, or who the "real victim" is, you're all complicit in the bigotry and hatred too. wake the fuck up from your ideologies and see people for who they are
I've been focusing on cooking more simply. the goal is fewer ingredients, less time and effort, more appreciation for simple flavor and quality ingredients
I appreciate the summary and I think i get why people like sports ball.... but I really enjoy having a sports ball free space to talk about how absurd it is the way our society obsesses over it. on the internet, you're the weirdo, not me!
Maybe obvious but I just thought to myself "I make this meal all the time and every time I mix together the required amount of spices. Why don't I just make a shit load and then use as much as I need each time?" ...
I have a degree in philosophy and a degree in therapy and i promise the therapy part makes people way more uncomfortable than the philosophy part. I never really encountered weird attitudes about philosophy tbh. maybe it's how I own it. I very earnestly live like a Socrates - Diogenes hybrid and try to make smart stuff sound dumb and safe to engage the community neurons. and my general excitement about it, if my philosophy background comes up, it's from a place of passionate curiosity where we're already talking about interesting shit and me using the ph word just makes them think "oh we're about to get into it".
it could also be the context with which ppl get to know me is more receptive to philosophical conversations. I genuinely believe that therapy is literally just a modern philosophy practice.

I think there's far fewer genuine trolls than people claim. Someone being an asshole because they had a bad day? Not a troll. Someone deliberately pretending to be something they're not in order to rile up people for fun? Troll.
Most of the time, you're blocking your brethren on their worst days. Which is your right, but don't pretend that just cuz your brother is warty that they're a troll.
Jesus, what is all this? skimming it looks like half of it is a treatise on epistemology. you're really going to focus on the data?
I've been on the fucking internet too, that's the data. I'm speaking from my own experience in the shared world we've been in, like everyone always does. we at least are clearly on shared spaces.
so like, unless the trolls are all in your DMs, can we skip the text walls about data and skepticism and uncertainty principles??
The rest of your reply seems fairly good spirited but I'm not eager to read it when we start off with paragraph after paragraph of "what data"
I'm not telling you not to block people, I would recommend you double check what I wrote next time before spouting off like that. I said something closer to "you shouldn't call them trolls". I dont see you engaging with that point anywhere....

How would you hold power when the powers that be despise you? You think you can rule without military might, will of the people, and the approval of those who owm the resources of the land? The idea of benevolent dictator is broken because of the conditions that you would need to create to even get in power, and to stay in power, would not be benevolent.
I dunno, i just dont see it that way. im an organism who experiences the world from my own perspective but i understand nothing about that makes my perspective special. the only extra duty i have is to care for myself because i am myself and im the best one for the job, most of the time. maybe i did have ego death or something?? i dunno, i never thought about it as being the main character or side character. when i see the ilk of Elon Musk talking about things like NPCs it just blows my mind how ... "single-minded" people can be.
i see your mind and i know it is part of me but the paradox is that upon recognizing that your single-mindedness is part of me, i cease being single-minded

During the previous round of shirkflation I warned people about knowing what year a recipe was from because "a can" means something different in 2004 than in 2010. And now it means something different again in 2025. ...
Cmon man, there's two kinds of recipes: one with exact measurements and precise instructions, usually written in metric with a lot of notes and contingencies... and then there's general guideline cheat sheets and refreshers, which you use when you already know how to cook it.
If a recipe tells me "a couple spoonsful" and I don't know what to do, the problem is not the recipe, it's that I don't know what I'm doing.
So what do you do? you learn. or I guess you could be like NileRed and watch food burn in front of your face because you don't want to deviate from the recipe. over and over again. but hopefully you'll learn to deviate soon.
baking by volume is INSANE why would anyone do that?!
i remember as a kid my nan telling me to not pack the flour too tightly in the cups or the measurement will be off. like why not just weigh the flour?!

The justifications are just ways of shutting down empathy. You can stop feeling those things automatically if you work at closing them off. It's a great first step at becoming a psychopath, if you want.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour
We all perceive ourselves as the main character, and that leads some people to think bad accidents won't happen to them
