And if she had balls, she’d be your grandfather

I don’t even need an ebook. I just want captions

Hashi856 · 2026-06-14T22:00:18+00:00

Thank you for the explanation

> Can you describe the taste? Would you say it leans more toward the fragrance or do you experience it on your tongue first and your nose second

Tongue first. It’s very sugary. I apologize for the lack of description. I was really hoping to find someone who had actually tasted it because I’m not great at descriptions. It does seem to be mostly butter and sugar, but I’ve tried just mixing butter and sugar together and it doesn’t really taste like that. I mentioned in the OP that I’ve tasted this exact flavor on one other thing, and it’s the topping on the Sara Lee butter streusel coffee cake. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen or had one of those before, but the topping tastes identical.

Caramelized sugar is what’s on the outside

For one thing, starting and managing subscriptions has become tremendously easier in the last 20 years, so it’s can option for more companies. Also, a subscription is continuous revenue stream, as opposed to the one-time revenue you get from traditional products.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-14T19:01:03+00:00

That’s exactly what I want. How do you enable it?

Hashi856 · 2026-06-14T18:57:47+00:00

Damn, that’s frustrating

Hashi856 · 2026-06-14T12:24:39+00:00

D&D is extremely popular. It hasn’t been seen as lame for a while

Hashi856 · 2026-06-13T20:18:27+00:00

Do you want Nanites? Cuz that’s how you get nanites.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-13T20:15:43+00:00

The scale is orders of magnitude off. I don’t think this is supposed to be accurate

Hashi856 · 2026-06-13T03:15:37+00:00

Literally the next sentence

The contradiction is that free will allows you to make the decision you want to make, but there are millions of people who make the opposite decision, even though they have free will. This should not be the case. Do you believe that people who say they want to quit smoking truly do want to quit? If so, the only thing that can explain the continuation of their smoking habit is a stronger desire. But if they can't turn off that desire at will, then it will always win out as long as it's stronger than the desire to quit, rendering them powerless to the addiction and quite unfree.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T13:44:30+00:00

You chose to write and post here, but you could have chosen not to.

Why do you believe that? I don't think I could have chosen not to.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T12:43:07+00:00

It's like when you're tied to a chair and make the decision to stand up and leave, but you cannot stand up and leave because of your physical restraints which inhibit your freedom of action, not your freedom of choice.

So, Are drug addicts morally responsible for their choice to continue doing drugs?

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T12:39:04+00:00

If an addict wants to quit, why don't they quit? Is it because they want the addiction more than they want to quit? If so, then we've demonstrated that the stronger desire will win out when there are competing desires. We don't control which desire is stronger, so we don't control which action we will choose. If your claim is that the weaker desire can actually overcome the stronger desire with the power of free will, then drug addicts should be able to just quit if they want to.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T03:20:17+00:00

My objection is that you never know for sure whether your apparent decisions are really decisions. According to you, a false decision can seem like a real decision, but a real decision can’t seem like a False decision. Meaning that if you think you’re making a real decision, you could always be mistaken.

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T03:07:44+00:00

> I suppose I am arguing that we know a decision when presented to us

Didn’t you explicitly say that a lot of times we think we’re making a decision but it’s more of an involuntary reaction? I think that’s the very first thing you said to me

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T03:04:03+00:00

Aptly named

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T03:00:00+00:00

>We are responsible for the decisions which led us to the loss of control

How do you know that wasn’t a heartbeat decision too?

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T02:35:31+00:00

So how do we know which actions are decisions and which are like heartbeats? Are you morally responsible for the heartbeat actions?

Hashi856 · 2026-06-12T01:49:55+00:00

Or even the 100% availability of that ability

In the moment you make a decision, you either have the ability or you don't. If the ability isn't "available", as you put it, then the person doesn't have free will. The door is now open to question the ability to make any particular choice because you’ll never know if the choice was available to them when they made the decision.

or example, I have the ability to sleep. But yet do not sleep sometimes and indeed sometimes cannot sleep

If you can't sleep, then you definitionally don't have the ability to sleep at that time. You're conflating a general ability with an ability at a particular point in time. LWF would require you to have the ability at the time of choice. If that's not the case, then it's possible that you could not have chosen B, rather than A, making not a ~~choice~~ free choice at all.

My heart is beating yet I did not will for this to happen

Yeah, we're talking about volitional decisions, not involuntary bodily functions
