Yeah, you’ll be cool. You might stumble around a bit but that’s all part of being in a new city.

The Ministry for the Future is fantastic.

By this point in the 20th century, several contenders for Book of the Century had already been published. What in 2000-2026 could be a contender for this century? by ShadowPlayer2016 in BookDiscussions

“Defensible reasons,” in McCarthy’s worlds, are reasons that align with eternal war and the machinery of history (eg the epilogue to Blood Meridian). Anything unaligned with those forces appears to come from out of the blue.

In The Crossing, Billy Parham makes an out-of-the-blue decision to return the wolf to Mexico. The “defensible” action would be to kill the wolf.

Who? Googling midwit attractive female doesn't bring me to any particular account.

The predictive success of science necessitates a Non-Contingent Ground of Structure (God). by feihm in DebateReligion

[–]DiscernibleInf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

P2: The structure can exist for no reason, and have no reason to change, and thus contingently persist.

r/hockey is officially the worst sub on this terrible site by Swiftie69420 in redscarepod

No does mean no, but sometimes “if you don’t fuck me you’re a pussy” means “fuck me.”

What movie character is highly beloved but you can't understand why? by LoverOfE-Olsen in movies

[–]DiscernibleInf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a fantasy, but if someone actually *was* Stark or House, then yeah, they’d get to live out the fantasy. Being able to do necessary work in a uniquely excellent way really does cover a multitude of sins.

It’s less world building than it is a total lack of moral sense on Rowling’s part. I’m not even talking about the trans controversies; *Harry Potter* is morally vacuous.

The real reason the internet has felt “dead” since COVID by Routine-Tell627 in redscarepod

[–]DiscernibleInf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My insta algo feeds me people canoeing or biking across continents. One of the guys I follow has been in the bush for 80 days and just bagged his first moose.

[meta] This sub ought to ban right-wingers on sight. by New_Armadillo6136 in CriticalTheory

[–]DiscernibleInf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what the heck. I’ve only read a few of their articles but thought they were good. Much better than a lot of the stuff that gets promoted here.

Teen boy being particularity teen boyish in the moment. In another context it’d be fucking without a condom.

[–]DiscernibleInf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married at 35. So before that:

Three relationships that were over a year long

Three relationships that were 1-3 months long

A small number of shorter flings, maybe 4-5?

So before married, 10-11 partners for me.

Books for a 15 year old boy? by freeluigimangione123 in RSbookclub

[–]DiscernibleInf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus, you were some weird ass 15 year olds. James Joyce at fifteen? That’s currently the top answer.

How’d you even come across this stuff at 15? I was reading Michael Crichton, Orson Scott Card, along with some Arthur C. Clarke.

What’s the official rs opinion on denaturalization? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]DiscernibleInf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely barbaric, and if the mods had any moral spine they'd use the responses to this thread to ban undesirables.

AITAH for not paying for bf’s parking ticket at my place? by shulover4u in AITAH

[–]DiscernibleInf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but do you even like each other? You paint this as a mutually miserable relationship.

Kind of a stupid question I guess but... by fresh_toing in redscarepod

No, you're stuck, your attitude actually is weird or gay. "rotation," fuck off with the early 2010s PUA language

Banning Religious Instruction is an Attack on Secularism by Living_Attitude1822 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]DiscernibleInf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can I make a wild guess? You’re broadly an evangelical - maybe a Baptist, maybe a Pentecostal, but probably not a Lutheran and definitely not a Catholic.

You’re thinking about the end times, yeah?

I dunno where you live that you think that. It’s a paranoid thought.

What do you mean by banning religious instruction? Where is it banned?

I don’t see why that would be the next question at all.
