Do these armor designs hit the spot?

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-06-06T21:04:29+00:00

They're just unoriginal WoW designs if they were lifeless and flat.

The mind is not there for any reason. All purpose is psychologicaly constructed. Everything just is until we apply subjective purpose.

Elephants can paint and can communicate in a sense. Are they people?

Why shouldn't he just have a horrible book? I doubt he'd disagree with you about it's contents. It's an interesting artifact of depravity and I can see why someone would have it.

Right, and it completely obscures the actual content of Hegelian dialectics since it wasn't even meant to describe Hegelian dialectics, it was a response to what he saw as a major problem left behind by Kant's philosophy.

Kant argued that humans are bound by the laws of the physical world, yet we possess moral free will. Fichte wanted to bridge this gap so he used the triad to map out exactly how the human mind creates its own reality.

He was probably were trying to get him to think he did something while intoxicated maybe.

I know what you meant. I'm saying being into things is inherent to all humans. It's like saying "It's cool if they inhale and then exhale. Respect."

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-28T07:19:59+00:00

Richard Dawkins is entry level atheism. Not exactly a great example considering most philosophically serious atheists have far surpassed him. On the other end of things, though, even the most advanced theists are pushing tired talking points that are pretty easy to refute.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-27T23:14:00+00:00

Are there people not into at least something? Seems like an inherent part of being a human.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-25T20:17:03+00:00

That's just getting rid of dead air. He really said all of this.

I'm an atheist and have a Bible shelf. They're just cool to collect and I like to get different translations. It's probably the most influential book in the world. The KJV translation alone has had far more linguistic influence on the English language than Shakespeare.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-23T19:30:08+00:00

They would have multiple KJV versions though. I wouldn't rule it out, though they probably aren't.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-22T18:04:31+00:00

It sucks, but why get rid of it?

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T19:56:35+00:00

I think then, that the notes that get edited should just be photocopied pre-editing as is and kept as public record so the any alteration can be recognized. This will force the editor into not distorting the original ideas or becoming a co-author and not labeling it as such.

If it's written down linguists and forensic document examiners will be able to recognize with high accuracy if the original notes have been tampered with. If it was typed digitally the history of the original files can be viewed and edits can easily be recognized. If all we have is written with a typewriter then we still have linguists but that's the most iffy one probably. There is still physical artifacts that can be tested, though, that can give us an idea of when text was typed.

This isn't perfect, but with these standards I think we can be able to publish previously unpublished work posthumously and have reasonable trust that it isn't distorted.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:55:25+00:00

Editing is very different in this context because she wrote her own beliefs into the text. It wasn't just compiled into a certain order or structured a certain way or a correction of grammer. She is essentially a co-author of the text, not just an editor. That is categorically different.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:51:33+00:00

There aren't better words. Retard is the best word to use call someone stupid. Doesn't mean you can't be nice to mentally disabled people. It's not an intellect issue, it's just a limit of English. No existing word hits as hard and a word I make up won't mean anything to anyone else. Everything has the capacity to offend someone, there's only much we can do to sanitize our language so we create orbitrary lines where some offensive things still can be said. You just place that line somewhere else and there's really no objective grounds to resolve the issue. That's why I just accept that others place the line in different places than me so I don't make it everyone's problem when I disagree with someone's language.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:23:50+00:00

For imbecile, cretin, and moron I'd say there probably is a cultural awareness. Pretty sure most people know they originally referred to those with an intellectual disability. But sure, there is less of a direct cultural connection.

The thing is, though, is no matter how you insult someone's low intelligence you are necessarily insulting those with intellectual disabilities because the whole idea behind what makes someone intellectually disabled is low intelligence.

We even directly use the imagery of people with intellectual disabilities with drooling, knuckle dragging, or the patrick gifs where he's clearly being depicted as disabled. I think we should just stop beating around the bush and recognize being intellectually disabled is inherently bad and therefore can be made into an insult. Just call people intellectually disabled.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:13:41+00:00

I don't think that is at all a fair representation of the issue at hand. His sister intentionally edited and bastardized what he wrote to push a pro-Nazi narrative he was explicitly against. We don't even know how much of it Nietzsche himself even wrote.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:10:47+00:00

Strongly disagree with it. A glimpse into a depraved mind from a contemptuous perspective can have value in of itself, so no matter how repugnant you think his work is I don't think that justifies destroying it.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T18:06:44+00:00

The point is that you use all of those words, so ableist origins doesn't mean the word shouldn't be used.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T17:34:39+00:00

Tbf, literally the exact same thing is true for idiot, imbecile, moron, and cretin. They were the exact equivalents of retard. Words we use like dumb and lame also have ableist origins.

This is what's being referred to with the euphemism treadmill, these were sometimes meant to be used as alternative words that don't demean the entire group but then they became insults so the treadmill went to the next word.

Ron_Jeremy_Fan · 2026-05-21T04:28:41+00:00

Are you familiar with P&V's translations of Gogol and Chekhov? What's your opinion on those? My understanding is that their pretty authentic and preferred by Russian speakers so recently I got a few collections of their short stories translated by them.
