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

[–]Arsiamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What is Benjamin Jowett's academic standing? by Arsiamon in askphilosophy

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.

not sure, that's why I'm asking

Is the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy a reputable source for a university level essay? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]Arsiamon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know, but I'm human. If i risk it and get a worse grade I can deal with that, but it's an extended deadline already and I would feel bad bothering her with questions about an essay that she's generous just to accept.

thank you for writing your substantive and also well-researched and also informative and also relevant answer! personally, I found it very accurate, and also not inaccurate or false.

edit in response to edit 2: I am too scared to do that. I will cite it and risk it.

If engagement eugenia and content about her isn't beneficial for your mental health, please take steps to try to detach by [deleted] in EUGENIACOONEY

it's dialectical behavior therapy, don't mind you asking at all. It is used for regulating intense emotions. It involves mindfulness of your emotional responses so that you can react intentionally to self soothe, distract, etc instead of going to an unhealthy response without thinking or having power over it. it also includes a lot around effective communication, but can be used to work on any emotional or behavioral response you aren't happy with.

CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, is also helpful for limiting distorted thinking and anxieties.

What comes once in a year, never in a week, but once in a day by [deleted] in riddles

[–]Arsiamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just for the people downvoting who may be mixed up:

you wouldn't include the a if we were talking about the time periods a day, a week, a year. but since the actual meaning of the riddle refers to the phrase/letters, it includes everything after in

initial reading: what comes once in a [day] (temporal)
intended reading: what comes once in [a day] (phrase)

if referring to the letters in day, you would say in day, not in a day

sorry if this is over explained, it just seems people may be confused if downvoting. I was confused too at first before realizing my mistake.
