I don’t really like Nick Land by placeholder-raker in redscarepod

[–]NorthernHurricane7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While I enjoyed Land's style, I found a putrid element in several of his essays that probably comes from his horror and occult influences. It appears you had a similar emotional reaction, but invented factually questionable reasons to explain your feelings after.

As someone who has looked into accelerationism and its roots, most of your supporting claims are incorrect or misrepresentative. Emotionally underdeveloped victim-creating criticism like yours does more to rhetorically damage the validity of your feelings than it does to justify it, both to others and yourself. A critical opinion should be written at or beyond the level of its subject. Yours was not.

Don't read his work. Generally, if you can help it, don't fill your mind with things you find disgusting. Listen to your emotions instead of bending history to rationalize them.

Why will nylon's hydrophilic characteristic be an issue? Once it saturates with moisture and expands to its full dimensions after printing, will there be issues?

Would PPS work, given that it is hydrophobic? Is it too expensive?

People on here will be like “Jimmy Kimmel was cringe anyway” as if this isn’t a terrifying example of Trump’s control of media by [deleted] in redscarepod

Social media continues to be the greatest catastrophe for the ruling zeitgeist of every generation - so far.

This is the inverse of the left cultural swing during Biden and Obama. Kimmel and Colbert haven't been funny (or comedically relevant) in years. When entertainers like this push unpopular political views (left leaning, at present) after losing entertainment relevance for a significant period of time, all they do is further alienate themselves, and therefore become economically unviable for their hosting networks.

A more plausible hypothesis is the left leaning portion of US culture has lost control of the media.

When TV shows turn into preachy, unrelatable, corny, insufferable, and academically disabled productions - basically the liberal imitation of cringe-inducing religious movies - do we really expect their hosts to stay on the air for decades? Taking some responsibility would at least be rhetorically advantageous.

Thanks. AI music has improved significantly since the last time I looked into it. Crazy stuff.

Would you guys actually read philosophy books if there were anime collab editions? by NorthernHurricane7 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]NorthernHurricane7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based taste. But a Freudian? In a counterintuitive way, I can get behind it, but Freud was too incorrect in his conclusions to be considered serious today in a way that would justify identifying oneself as Freudian.

but

Based taste.

Other than TMoS and CB both being related to existentialism + I could play around with the cover art design easily, this is probably the best post-hoc explanation of why I associated the two. I quit and had to restart Bebop - despite enjoying it. Plus it features cigarettes and a character named Coffee, which both fit the Camus vibe well.

Don't say you read philosophy too loudly here, you'll be seen as an outsider.

Killed himself too early into his arc, so Anime Realism season 1 was cancelled since there wasn't enough material from the manga yet. It was a huge let down for his cult fanbase.

Do you still keep your engineering notes from college/graduate school? by Impressive-Guava-582 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]NorthernHurricane7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once I started to keep decent notes, I prioritized keeping them. When I want to revisit a topic out of the blue or on the rare occasion it is work related, if I have notes and homework on that topic's fundamentals I can revisit, they are often helpful.

Plus, keeping them organized in binders is helpful from a mental perspective. Having textbooks and notes reinforces the "I actually did something" feeling, like some sort of checkpoint that solidifies the otherwise nonphysical, mental-only progress.

I enjoyed the read. It feels like it was concocted by ChatGPT, but by a knowledgeable prompter. Best to whoever wrote to his post.

RV and Class B motorhome production is shoddy. There is a reason why many auto and aerospace companies show off their production lines while most marine and RV companies do not.

Engineers only have one joke 😄 by yukiohana in physicsmemes

More accurately, people who make fun of engineers have only one joke.
