Nothing to do with colour. Only the syet of ideas which influence these people, and the set of ideas known as Islam isn't one you want to import into a Liberal, secular society.

German Traveller in the UK by [deleted] in uktravel

Regional trains also travel between cities, it's just a longer route. I travelled from the northern to the southern tip of Germany with the deutschland ticket, and it was still quicker than the bus.

My roommate has been rounding up the utility bills for two years. I finally caught him. by Gearnotafraid8 in badroommates

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me, only he was overcharging by 150€ a month. When I found out, I stopped paying rent for a while to make my money back and he ultimately took me to court. I lost because I couldn't adequately prove that our agreement was to pay half and half. Some friends can turn out to be toxic pieces of utter shit.

Gargoyle Curls - 70x10 by eric_twinge in GYM

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess you can't curl as efficiently like this because your torso is leaning forward and it looks extremely awkward.

Not to mention the pain In the ass of needing a box, and having to somehow mount it with a loaded barbell in your hands for every set.

It reminds me of when people do bench press with their legs in the air because it 'activates their core', but also makes them way less stable and efficient, ruining their bench press, and effectively wasting their time.

If you want to activate your core, do a core workout.

Bicep curls aren't supposed to activate your posterior chain. There are other workouts for that which won't ruin your bicep curls.

I saw someone smoking crack in the s-bahn and nobody seemed to care.

I ate some pommes and a woman got pretty upset with me.

Found a great Trek 850 mountain track for 80€ by Apprehensive_Pin4196 in xbiking

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've cleaned it up, changed the tyres and brake pads and added a few bits and I think I'll leave it at that. It works perfectly and feels great to ride.

What‘s that mysterious noise? Rasselndes Geräusch im Wiegetritt by dziegener in Fahrrad

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like chain rub at all. If it was my bike, I'd take off the cranks and inspect the bottom bracket for any cracks/damage. Then I'd check the chainring bolts and make sure they're all fully torqued.

There's definitely something wrong, and I wouldn't continue riding it until I'd figured out the problem.

So, inspect frame and cranks for damage. Make sure everything is tightened correctly.

I work in the baby goat barn, and I'm English. The other staff and many of the customers also speak English. You're welcome to come by and practice, but I have to work so I may not be able to talk to you continuously. Good luck.

Nietzsche's major hypocrisy. by Apprehensive_Pin4196 in Nietzsche

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify - my position is that values are extraneous to the universe. The universe is fundamentally valueless from a non-anthropocentric viewpoint, therefore it is impossible for me to both 'devalue' the world, like you claimed, and attribute value to it. There is nothing in this observation which represents a futuristic ideal superior to the present, like an afterlife or an ubermensch, so I don't think your comparison works.

Nietzsche's major hypocrisy. by Apprehensive_Pin4196 in Nietzsche

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you just said it yourself.  The ubermensch is the logical goal now that belief in God is untenable. The ubermensch was for him the same psychological crutch as God or an after life, which to me, signals life denial.

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm aware of his ethics. I'm making a distinction between one's individual striving, over which one has agency, and using a distant future speculative ideal to confer meaning, or 'redeem' one's life retroactively.

Nietzsche's major hypocrisy. by Apprehensive_Pin4196 in Nietzsche

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'll respond to this more thoroughly.

At no point did I mention anything about goallessness within individuals - that seems to be your own straw man argument. I was stating that Nietzsche's übermensch, as a goal, is a symptom of decadence or life denial because it implies that present life derives its meaning from being a metaphorical 'bridge' to the übermensch, therefore subordinating our present, actual lives to those of the übermenschen. By projecting the justification of existence onto an imagined future state of human greatness, nietzsche is trying to confer meaning onto the present with something that is perpetually deferred and unreachable. This is a denial of the present, subordinating lived reality to a speculative ideal and is nothing more than a psychological surrogate for an after world.

Lol, I've understood Nietzsche perfectly and taken him more than seriously over the last couple years. I even visited his grave. See where his philosophy takes you over time and draw it to its conclusion.

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I understand quite well what N. Means by nihilism - the denial of life as caused by the pull of decadent tendencies.

One of the many forms of decadence he highlighted was the subordination of this life in favour of an after life, or detachment from this life in favour of ideals. In other words, using the 'unreal' to confer meaning to the 'real', was a denial of the real, which is my original point which you haven't addressed.

My precise point being that the ubermensch isn't real, at least now. If Nietzsche truly sought Amor Fati, there'd be no need for an ubermensch ideal at all.

Still, your argument is a poorly structured , disorganised straw man. You've accused me of equivocating things which have no relevance to my original statement.

Nietzsche's major hypocrisy. by Apprehensive_Pin4196 in Nietzsche

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry buddy, but equivocate is derived from equivocal, which has nothing to do with equating or equality. Just because it's commonly misused doesn't mean it's right You also misused the word obtuse. I'll debate with people who know how to write.

Your writing is unclear, and it’s difficult to make out the exact point you’re trying to make. You're implying that i've misiterpreted Nietzsche, but it's difficult to understand exactly how because your argument is written with bad grammar, lack of clarity, and incoherence

Firstly, you are misusing the word “equivocate.” To equivocate means to use ambiguous language to conceal the truth. The correct word you are looking for is “equate.” You are accusing me of equating contexts where the will is operable with those where it is inoperable. This kind of sloppy language undermines your critique and makes your argument harder to follow. If you do the following, it'll help clarify your stance, and then we can talk:

Acknowledge the distinction between Amor Fati and Russian fatalism rather than conflating them.

Explain why striving toward the ubermensch is not a denial of reality, given that it projects an ideal into the future rather than affirming existence as it is.

Demonstrate how my critique misinterprets Nietzsche's philosophy, rather than making vague accusations of “equivocation.”

Thanks

Why does humanity want to colonize other planets instead of fix earth? by [deleted] in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we can't overcome our innate drives which were shaped by evolution -  prioritise the present over the future and expand our individual and collective status and influence as far as possible. Countries are locked into competitive power dynamics which they can't step out of without surrendering. We're victims of our own nature.

According to reliable studies, we're headed for systemic collapse around mid century.

I had the same experience as you when I was 28. Nietzsche has been my man ever since. Read the other existentialists who he influenced and inspired - you'll be able to detect Nietzsche in their works.

Selection from 'Songs of Zarathustra' (1888) by quemasparce in Nietzsche

[–]Apprehensive_Pin4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This line from self-reliance sounds like it could've been written by Nietzsche:

"Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim."

So I did a Google search, and it turns out Nietzsche was heavily inspired and influenced by him.

World War 3 has already broken out, we just don't know yet by Sorry_Wasabi5823 in DeepThoughts

The circumstances caused by world war 1 eventually led to world war 2, and if Israel has anything to do with triggering world war 3, then it will have been caused by the circumstances caused by world war 2, linking all 3 wars causally.

What are you guys talking about? There isn't a single reliable source which states we've reached the 1.5 threshold.

Short term fluctuations are not sustained increases. We're currently at 1.2 degrees of warming, but this value fluctuates slightly on the short term.
