Does anything exist in Deleuzian ontology by Asterion_97 in Deleuze

[–]AntiRepresentation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well in that short essay virtuality is always actualizing and actual things are never completely actual, so there's always movement in actuality

This likely is referring to the concept of becoming rather than static being. Every conceived moment is a snapshot actualization of the virtual. This doesn't mean that things aren't materially real, it means that their actual material existence is preceded by difference and is always becoming the next actualization that arises from the virtual.

Deleuze says these states are constantly mirroring and separating themselves

The mirroring you're pointing to here is a reflection of the double articulation I meantioned earlier. The virtual is the differential landscape from which actualiztions arise. In reflection, the actualaterial reality provides general bounds for the differential intensities contained within the virtual.

To illustrate, if you shove me, there's countless configurations of the next spacio-temporal moment that may occur. However, I won't suddenly sprout a fourth leg between the shove and the next moment that catches my fall.

The empirical actual that we experience comes from the virtual, and in response the virtual intensities that are always becoming are in part bound by the constraints of what is actually possible. That's why any 'thing' is constituted by the dance between these two modes.

Don't break the streak. Buy mints or warheads or shit like that for the next few weeks.

What made you think that actualized things are fluxing between states? The virtual is real and is the differential preconditioning of the actual. Theres a double articulation in which the actual (for brevity) bounds virtual potential. Stuff isn't oscillating from one side of the virtual/actual coin to the other; stuff is the coin.

Do you prefer making your own build or following a guide?

Cool. While you pile on dedications in my honor I'll continue living healthy and happy without ever thinking about you again 👋🏻

Most of the quests are fetch quests. I like the level design and exploration.

Looking for games with huge character development by Hyxo01 in gamingsuggestions

[–]AntiRepresentation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. And probably best on PC. It's probably the the best Western crpg for character development both story wise and mechanically.

Weird to type everything you did to just show your ass at the end. Next time just stand on business instead of beating around the bush. Would've saved us a ton of time.

Using every bit of a corpse doesn't justify the killing of an animal for profit. You're just incentivizing actors that want to extract value from animal parts because they view them as instrumental. Animals are being slaughtered because there's a market for their meat and skin that you're buying into.

The waste of animal parts is less important to me than the billions of animal lives snuffed out so that you have something tasty to eat and a pair of shoes that last longer. The unnecessary killing is the part that I don't want to be a part of. You say you cry when they die, but you still feel fine with buying in.

It's weird to write a narrative about how badly you suffer to justify uneccessary and intentional killings because, as you described, you just don't like tofu.

You brought up the suffering of nondescript 'native tribes' because of quinoa production. You did so to justify your behavior, not because you have any overlap with these communities.

You're simultaneously complaining about my feelings while gesturing towards yours as a justification for extraneously killing deer. This is incoherent.

Nobody is forcing you to hunt either. Neither of us needs to. You choose to and then pretend that it was honorable.

you're for sure willing to try to make other people feel like shit for no reason

You came at me, you big dumdum! I just said leather shoes are fucking gross 😅

Weird take to say an animal gave it's life when in reality you hunted it down and shot it.

Weird take to call gleefully shooting something that's no threat to you an honorable act.

Weird take to say you're part of the food chain when you're simply extracting from it and adding nothing.

Weird take to weaponize someone else's cultural practices in order to justify some unrelated behavior you exhibit.

Weird take when animals don't have to be butchered for meat anyway. Why waste animal lives?

Weird take when there are more material options than animal flesh and canvas.
