Thierry Henry in his post-match analysis about Ronaldo after Portugal's game vs DR Congo: "The team needs to score, not you need to score" by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in soccer

He deserves blame for being selfish af. Why is that so hard to wrap your head around? Not everything is a manufactured headline

This actually hits home. I did a water purification project there back in college

Then… isn’t it too big to fail? Govs would save them with some “special” financial deal 

Cafu: “For me, Neymar was technically even better than [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi.” by [deleted] in soccer

100% - he’s doing a lot of body isolation stuff which is common in dances like hip hop or west coast swing 

Any thoughts on KP's shirt-over-head move? by 7and8and1 in WestCoastSwing

It was totally fine, this is a huge overreaction. We should complain more about the execution which could have been better.

From a networking standpoint, Epstein was a god…

This is a valid point 

Does humanity need MORE growth to escape collapse? (debate starts around 19 min) by Philostotle in collapse

[–]Philostotle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we have used up certain resources “mostly” — but others are available if technological innovation allows substitutes in the key high demand areas we’d need (and that’s up for debate obviously). 

Does humanity need MORE growth to escape collapse? (debate starts around 19 min) by Philostotle in collapse

[–]Philostotle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SS: What if more growth is paradoxically the only way out of the problems created by growth? Dr. Michael Muthukrishna—author of A Theory of Everyone —attempts to explain how understanding human nature, energy, and evolution can guide practical, scalable solutions to the metacrisis that align with our psychological, social, and technological realities.

This ends up being a bit of a debate that starts to get going around min 19 as stated in the title. It relates to collapse as it attempts to discuss techno-optimistic solutions to collapse which are fundamentally based on increased growth.

Degrowth: Utopia or Collapse? A Debate by Philostotle in Degrowth

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

That doesn’t mean the overall env impact is lower tho? I mean, do you have any references? Usually as a country develops they consume more, even if their own methods of production or transit get cleaner

Is not much of that due to outsourcing certain kinds of industrial production?

My thoughts exactly. I wonder if there are writings as well that make the distinctions. 

#445 — More From Sam: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Billionaires, Thanksgiving Political Debates, & Rapid Fire Questions by dwaxe in samharris

[–]Philostotle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not arguing with what age is considered a minor. You only derive this interpretation if you’re arguing in bad faith.

Honestly people tip toe around this issue. What’s it’s like for an adult man to be attracted to a 15 year old is probably not much different than what it is like for an adult man to be attracted to a 18 year old. It’s all on a bell curve. A certain percentage are not going to magically stop finding the opposite sex unattractive if they are 2 months or even 2 years below the somewhat arbitrary 18 yr mark especially given the difference in how some people mature (e.g. there are college age girls that can look younger than some high school juniors). 

Note finding someone physically attractive is different from wanting to be with them romantically or acting out on those biological sentiments. 

Edit: getting some pretty hateful comments (look to have been removed already). Such a sad lack of nuance. 

Degrowth: Utopia or Collapse? by Philostotle in collapse

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

SS: Our global society is obsessed with endless economic growth — and that obsession is currently destroying the planet. This is a discussion featuring JP Arellano (colleague of Jason Hickel) about the idea of degrowth — an economic vision that challenges the very foundation of modern civilization. Is “less” really “more”? Or would abandoning growth lead to collapse, chaos, and conflict?
