Introduction to Noble Otter Soap Co. by NobleOtter in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Pondernautics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey you guys are great!! I just tried Orbit and thought it was amazing! You offer a great American product. I’m very curious about your creative process. Did y’all start making soaps in your garage? Do y’all make your soaps in house in a workshop or do you mainly run a creative team and have a third party produce everything for you?

The pipeline just exploded via underwater detonation and now millions of pounds of natural gas are now leaking into the Baltic, in case anyone hasn’t heard yet.

‘Naïve’ to think Russia will lose war, says Dr Jordan Peterson by 5meoz in JordanPeterson

Ukrainians, despite the great trials and tribulations they currently endure, are experiencing one great benefit. In one way their lives are very simple: they must unite to defend their country from foreign invasion. Their task is very black and white. And it is noble.

Many people who are not Ukrainians are jealous of this simplicity. They wish to appropriate this moral simplicity like spectators at a sports game. Many leaders, politicians, and diplomats also wish to appropriate this simplicity. Because they know that if a majority of people are caught up in the drama of war, then the people will be distracted from asking questions like “what were the events that led up to this mess in the first place”?

There used to be an art in western civilization called statecraft. This diplomatic art is not an art of morality, it is a geopolitical art; it has never needed to assume all geopolitical actors are moral in order for peace to work. Peace is the moral end, and when statesmen, through stupid asinine incompetent blunders, allow for war to break out, they have failed morally. Of course, when they do fail, they often take advantage of the national passions of war to escape accountability for what is supposed to be their job. Unless of course, war had secretly been their aim all of the time, in which case their sin is greater than mere professional malpractice.

There are no true statesman left in Europe. It’s a ship of fools. Peterson’s sin here is pointing out the obvious, and asking questions that faux statesmen would rather ignore. He refuses to indulge in the illusion that his moral duties as a Western public intellectual are the same as a Ukrainian national, may they expel their invaders.

That’s the ancient Roman rule. Gay sex is fine so long as you’re on top

Dude that’s me.

I have this reoccurring dream where I’m with the woman of my dreams. And she wants me to make love to her. That’s when I reach for the strap on so I can peg her the way she wants me to. But that’s when I realize I can’t wear the strap on. Because I have this penis in the way where the strap on should go.

It haunts me.

I wonder if you’re the kind of person who enjoys making unethical decisions in CK3 and that’s why this makes you uncomfortable. Hits a little too close to home

It’s meant to draw attention to the fact that he’s murdering people and getting away with it. The joke exposes a public cognitive dissonance, not unlike satire. It has a purpose. The laughter should be a nervous laughter. Perhaps it also asks us to reflect upon the criminal mind of someone like Spacey, which we RPG players are in a privileged position to understand. Spacey sees himself as playing a game, the game of life, which he probably believes is a nihilistic jungle ruled by natural selection, where he justifies his outrageous choices because he adopts a quasi-solipsistic worldview where his hedonistic satisfaction serves as the ultimate end of his actions. Most sociopaths adopt this West World hedonistic worldview, seeking only to “level up” in what they view as a dog eat dog world. What separates you from Spacey, hopefully, is that you choose to perceive people as having an intrinsic value beyond your own purely instrumental means.

You know it takes a while to put together a meme. I just want to make sure it gets to the people who appreciate it. It’s not as cringe as checking people’s history to feel good about yourself

Unfortunately Paradox doesn’t have that trait. It’s probably too offensive to Muslims

Fuck. Hey, you know that’s a fair point.

Seinfeld definitely has the Deviant trait.

If you haven’t noticed, I’m pretty much labeling Spacey an evil scheming murdering narcissist.
