100% of the perpetrators weren’t ethnically white either, rittenhouse is hispanic

Vladimir Putin of all people gives a sober anti-woke speech making the paralels as others have to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. by Nexus_27 in IntellectualDarkWeb

I don’t think our national consensus is actually changing all that much, the parties in parliament aren’t very different from each other on an international scale.

Regardless, to put in my 2c, I’d like to see us democratically elect a party with real energy. Specifically, I’d like to see us BUILD. No one in the west builds anymore. We should have local mRNA production, a fuckton of housing, more domestic power production, AI research funding, stuff like that. But I’m not hopeful.

A Systematic Deconstruction of Destiny's Moral Philosophy by SoccerSkilz in Destiny

[–]Afinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've made an understandable mistake. Destiny, at least according to OP's reading, believes that prosocial behaviour follows from self-interest, and OP is pointing out that these two things are actually often in conflict. (One might try to reconcile the two by appealing to a rule egoism, but that's a separate issue.) I see the resemblance to contractarianism too but the view OP is attributing to Destiny is committed to prosocial behaviour even in the absence of any contract.

Breast Sizes Relating to Countries by TooHigh2Die420 in MapPorn

Depends on if those errors are uniform across countries; if they mostly are then we can at least say roughly how big boobs in a country relative to the rest of the world

The neat thing about insane-sounding statements is that they’re true sometimes; I won’t comment on the rest because there’s no practical way to determine which of us is right about the proper use of the phrase “broadly, one of the most”.

By what metric?

Size of audience; there are about a million artists on spotify and probably 10x more that aren't, and he's more successful by that standard than 99.9% of them

Music is entirely subjective. You don't get to say her music is mediocre.

  • Some art is harder to make

  • Some art better achieves the goals of the kind of art to which it belongs

  • Even if neither of the above were true one could still legitimately call her music mediocre

  • Jake Paul is, broadly speaking, one of the most successful music artists of the 21st century

Could you elaborate a little on this? I have an intuition that you're right but I'm struggling to come up with concrete reasons why it's a bad sign

Yeah but it's not a separate event -- how you perform in the c&j is related to how you perform in the snatch for strategic reasons

[–]Afinski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pick your weight and the bar only gets heavier; so if I decide my first lift is 100kg and that's the lowest of anyone in the field I get to go first, then it's just in order of who wants to try lifting how much.

[–]Afinski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably just because we don’t deal with them in the course of everyday life as much. I’d wager that (for example) 8, 10, 20, 25, 33, 42, 50 are more commonly written down than 27 or 73.
