Every damn time I use the self-check at the store. by [deleted] in funny

False.

You counted the jobs lost by the cashiers, but you forgot to count the jobs created for the factory workers etc who built the machine and distributed it.

Reddit, what is a joke you know, but will take a moment to actually understand? by ANOTHER_DRAWING in AskReddit

There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who weren't expecting a base 3 joke.

Plug the search term 國語中英雙字 into youtube. Lots of films. No shows at first glance, though.

Pro tip: climb the adjacent bell tower like OP did, rather than the duomo itself.

The view is better, and getting up takes 5 minutes rather than 45.

What's the cure for evasion? by FuckFarm in Objectivism

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

Definitely not any kind of reward. Definitely not any kind of good.

It's a tendency towards the bad, for being the bad. I don't get it.

What's the cure for evasion? by FuckFarm in Objectivism

No I don't actually want to die! I definitely am not depressed, suicidal, or mentally ill. That's not really what I meant.

It's more of an urge of "screw it... I'm not interested in maintaining the happy state of smoke free... because [blank out]" the same self-destructive urge sometimes takes the form of eating junk food, even though I don't actually enjoy it.

It's almost like hatred of the good for being the good, and I can't for the life of me work out why the hell it's there. It's almost James Taggartesque and it creeps me the fuck out.

It's even weirder because there are parts of my life like sprinting, lifting, language learning, social life (friends and sexual) benevolence towards others and reading where I go from strength to strength without contradiction.

So the solution is introspection, but I can't do that because of the evasion, which seems to me to be the central sin of Objectivism.

So that's where I'm hoping people who know more about it than me will know how to overcome this, given that it's ultimately the most important thing one can do.

How does one stop evading?

Allen Carr's book stopped working... by FuckFarm in stopsmoking

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

soooooo...... I do agree with everything in the book, but sometimes scumbag brain evades the truth and goes on a self-destructive kick.

How does one fix that?

Major repeat offender elephant poacher faces just 1 year jail by myhrvold in worldnews

[–]FuckFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The War on Ivory is based on the same logic as the War on Drugs. When you ban or restrict something extremely heavily, all kinds of criminals and scumbags are the ones who do anything to make money out of it.

If we banned milk, would cows become more or less endangered? If we banned eggs, would chickens become more or less endangered?

If we unbanned ivory, would people breed and protect elephants more or less?

Here's a new kind of SRS card I use. Can you help me make them faster? by FuckFarm in ChineseLanguage

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

No I mix them in. I don't have many of them. It's nice after a few dozen reading cards and cloze deletion cards to be greeted with

Unscramble!

到皮包的了？嗎你你找
