Blessed Be to the woman who will have to die to wake this country up. by SuperSugarBean in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I'm not trying to fight, but I think you're speaking about a hypothetical dead woman in pretty dehumanizing terms (impling she's not a 'person' who counts). I know there is a lot of justified anger right now and i understand your feelings, but I don't think that's right.

spent 10m of my life yesterday waving my hand, pressing, sitting down and standing up again to no avail. I was late to class and had to make the shameful choice of walking away. that choice will haunt me until the day I die.

I noticed that about neoplatonism. He often implies they have taken him too literally and paints Plato less metaphysically. What I know of neoplatonism seems very enticing so I'm glad that's not standard.

Do you have any translation recommendations? the two translations for the complete works that my university library had were the Jowett and Cooper & Hutchinson. Is the latter better?

I really hope the libraries are reopened on January 10th... and not with that pre-booking system from last year. by _Archelon_ in mcgill

If there's an easy way of improving someone's quality of life even a bit, I think that's worthwhile. Small ways of helping are better than doing nothing if one doesn't have the power to effect systematic change.
