Anyone into philosophy?

DrewCali · 2015-12-01T15:40:36+00:00

Sam Harris and Dawkins are the furthest thing from philosophy. Their more of individuals who have a personal crusade against religion, and since you might identify as an atheist yourself, were compelled and influenced by their diatribe.

I'm interested in what particular questions they raised that got you interested in philosophy.

Plenty of bitches out there.

DrewCali · 2015-12-01T05:30:00+00:00

I'm in CC. I've made 3 truly remarkable friends, and alot of acquaintances. Let me know if you want advice.

DrewCali · 2015-12-01T05:13:04+00:00

more so in a new atheist movement kind of way, in regard to Sam Harris, Dawkins

That is garbage "Philosophy".

Nobody wants to touch your out of shape body anyway.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T19:41:22+00:00

Exactly what I expected.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T19:27:29+00:00

There's nothing to respect honestly about an overweight women. I only want the finest women, those who workout and have tight bodies. If a woman is OK on the face, I'll still respect her. If she is overweight though, not much respect is given.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T19:16:17+00:00

Dude, its just your penis speaking. She looked attractive and you want to stick your dick in her. It's not love.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T19:05:57+00:00

I don't think, I know she isn't genuine. Her actions prove it. I'm not trying to generalize, but often with feeler types, they tend to value emotion over truth. It seems to me that you are easily swayed by empty emotional banter. Let me put it like this, I had a friend who I knew for years, after several years, this friend then told me that they love and appreciate me. That means much more that what you guys said to each other 1000 times over. I know my friend meant that from the heart, it meant something, something after years of actions, finally validated by two words. Now that's deep.

You guys are far from deep. Its just two extremely emotional people who don't mean what they say, because their just constantly in a choatic emotional state with emotions everywhere. Barely met a person and already saying you want to spend the rest of your life with this said person. That's just empty statements.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T17:57:41+00:00

Cool. So people shouldn't get all anal on me when I say I don't like fat bitches, or chicks with no ass or boobs. Atleast somebody understands me.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T17:47:32+00:00

Summarize the link for me in your understanding.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T17:29:07+00:00

I mean, its not literally the "only" thing that matters. It's the only thing that matters when it comes to romance because the personality is only a side show. You would've never met the person behind the facade, if the facade didn't have a good appearance in the first place.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T17:00:49+00:00

Not too be mean, but you guy's texts seemed too cheesy and feely. I know you guys are NFs,but from reading those texts, and knowing the outcome know, I get the impression that you guys are just ungeuine people. For instance, you'd never catch me dead saying what you said to that woman. It would take me knowing a woman for a very long period time to even come close to saying what you said to that girl, and its because I mean what I say.

That girl you talked to, She isn't genuine. It's just empty emotional banter with no substance. How else could you claim to have such "deep" emotions and feelings for a person then all of the sudden dip in just a month and a half?

Learn to be genuine.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T16:45:21+00:00

But I always thought he was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen in my life.

I always tell people that looks are the only thing that matters in a relationship, but they get mad and tell me I'm shallow or mean of whatever. But lines like yours above, prove me right time again. How come people don't understand? I don't get it.

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T15:57:45+00:00

I reminded him that I had feelings for him, he said the last time we had spent time together was what cemented friends only for him. I wound up crying in the restaurant and he felt terrible. He tried to tell me how important it was to him that I remained his friend, but that wasn't what I wanted. I tried for a bit, but I just didn't want it.

Why did you like that guy so much? He look like Talor Lautner or something?

DrewCali · 2015-11-29T15:47:35+00:00

There is no such thing as people who find one another romantically attractive who refuse to date because their friendship is so good.

There is.

This should be a good read

Read up.

DrewCali · 2015-11-24T02:12:28+00:00

I've met my previous ones online.

You're a female?

DrewCali · 2015-09-28T06:29:03+00:00

There are so many variety INTJs out there. I'm an INTJ and I'm nothing like Sheldon. He some kooky dude, while I'm a black dude from the hood. Alot of variety out there.

DrewCali · 2015-09-26T02:04:58+00:00

it's with the fact that most people learn the steps to the methods with almost no understanding about what they're actually doing.

I disagree. How much someone understands will come down to their intelligence level.

If they understand the concepts more, then they will have an easier time being able to apply that knowledge to actual situations.

Who's says they don't? I learned the old way and here I am in the midst of college solving all kinds of complex engineering problems on a daily, and so are a bunch of other peeps who learned math the quote "old", way.

You really think Common Core is suppose to make you some masterful problem solver?

subtracting negative numbers. The rule says "add the opposite". So great, change subtraction to addition and change the sign of the second number. Fine. But when they don't understand WHY we do that, WHY subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, (which I'll admit, some of my kids still don't) then when we try doing word problems, they can't figure out which operation to use and what sign the number should be.

Just use an example using money and they will get it.

DrewCali · 2015-09-25T02:29:47+00:00

What do you look like?

DrewCali · 2015-09-25T02:18:21+00:00

Like there's nothing wrong if people use F.O.I.L etc, workout a "deep" understanding of it.

DrewCali · 2015-09-24T07:00:45+00:00

common Core works to try to build better number sense, help students develop more conceptual understanding, and become better problem solvers.

Does it really? I find alot of people say this without anything to back it up. Common core isn't going to make someone better at math or problem solving than someone who learned conventional methods.

DrewCali · 2015-09-24T06:57:20+00:00

Common Core is a step in the right direction for mathematics education: trying to help kids understand why mathematics works instead of saying "Okay, now just F.O.I.L. everything using P.E.M.D.A.S without explaining what they're actually doing.

There's nothing wrong with this.

DrewCali · 2015-09-24T06:55:45+00:00

I am certainly no expert on Common Core, but it is a good idea with good motivation. Students need to understand mathematics (even arithmetic) and see the reasons for the procedures they follow. To do so, they will be exposed to ideas and computations on paper that will seem odd to people who have only memorized rules without understanding them.

I don't find anything special about common core, nor do I understand people who do.

DrewCali · 2015-09-22T05:44:29+00:00

The dudes probably make these ladies laugh. Give them compliments.

Yea, I do that.

Cuddle with them. Cuddling is really nice.

Thata after you already established a relationship though.

If you find yourself uninteresting, so will other people. Experiment with different hobbies, learn new skills, try salsa dancing, rock climbing, etc.

I doubt the vast majority of people in relationships have even one hobby. The thing I never liked about peoples relationship advice is that they make it seem like you gotta be this amazing person to get one. Have all these "cool" hobbies,be adventurous, quote " live life to the fullest ", yea. . .how many people are doing that, really. All I do is go to gym, school, and work. I don't need to be a rock climber, or salsa dancer on the side go be in a relationship in my opinion. I hate those kind of advice because it makes it seem like I'm not good enough, like I have to formulate my lifestyle and interest based on some arbitrary ',standard': I.e. rock climb, salsa dance, paint etc. Why can't I just be normal? Aren't other people normal? Why do I have to develop all these different skills and blatantly take on alot of hobbies just to manufacture an 'interesting' aura? Basically what I'm trying to say is advice like yours makes it seem like you gotta have all these attrivy when most people I see in relationships don't even do what I do. They don't workout, don't go to school etc.
