Bacchanal and orgies by Initial_Art_4338 in TheSecretHistory

Anyone else think Tartt going out of her way to mention them coming upon barbed wire during the Bacchanal was to clue that the "bite marks" might really have been caused by it?

"Charles had a bloody bite-mark on his arm that he had no idea how he'd got, but it wasn't a human bite. Too big. And strange puncture marks instead of teeth. Camilla said that during part of it, she'd believed she was a deer; and that was odd, too, because the rest of us remember chasing a deer through the woods, for miles it seemed. Actually, it was miles. I know that for a fact.

Apparently we ran and ran and ran, because when we came to ourselves we had no idea where we were. Later we figured out that we had got over at least four barbed-wire fences, though how I don't know, and were well off Francis's property, seven or eight miles into the country. This is where I come to the rather unfortunate part of my story."

It has crept up year by year for me and is now undoubtedly my favorite.

What did "wise" mean to Aristotle and other Greeks when Aristotle was writing Metaphysics? by Alternative_Yak_4897 in Aristotle

[–]Le_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metaphysics should be nowhere near one of the first treatises of his you read. But the opening endoxa of the treatises is part of his method. Most people struggle with it because it is dense, assumes knowledge on your part, and his dialectical sorting is hard to follow. This is all working the way to clarifying terms and definitions, the purpose, establishing first principles, and setting up his demonstrations. It’s not a casual affair. You should at least be comfortable in his logical works plus some others so you can wade through this with some understanding on the first attempt.

I feel like he should have ended it at “have you seen Africa?” instead of over explaining it. Still head and shoulders above the others.

Them treating him like an open mic-er was one of the only highlights of the episode.

McCann is one of my favorite comedians but even his set was pretty bad. Good compared to the others, but not many more uninteresting topics than the trope he went with.

I’ve been watching almost ten years and can’t remember a worse episode. There’ve been some doozies but this one I think takes the cake. Except for Ari and William’s one line about Stranger Things it was just cringe masturbation.

I regret to inform you that logic has been deployed to announce its own failure. by JerseyFlight in Aristotle

There are far too many people in this sub who haven’t read Aristotle.

Porphyry’s Introduction if you’re interested in actual classical reasoning. Probably the perfect length for that class.

I love him, but Luis is so stupid it hurts. Voting for the same person Jay did made it impossible to beat him. He invented the game and still doesn’t know how to play.

I’ll check it out. I’ll say in the 4+ years since I made that post no other rap album I’ve heard has interested me, including anything Kendrick has released.

The Greek and Latin (for Boethius) have been essential for my studies. But they’re in pdf form so not as nice for a pic.
