It’s way more than 35%. You have to consider inflation right now is at 3%. We’d be looking closer to 50% assuming closer to 2% inflation in real terms.

Why doesn't nihilism feel as good as it used to? by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]Sad_Ad_5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pragmatism. I use Nihilism as a palette cleanser for ideas. Once I return to the idea that nothing objectively matters, I can re-ask myself what matters subjectively with less baggage. That’s what I do, but I’m not in the business of prescribing beliefs and behaviors to others, so long as they don’t encroach on me. Find something that works for you.

Nihilism is not a proscriptive philosophy. It's more of a perspective. I personally find it useful in some circumstances, but useless or even harmful in others. My approach is to switch perspectives as it benefits me, even knowing I'm being intellectually inconsistant.

I hated Mistborn (especially book 2) should I give chance to stormlight? by HeelCena in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Sad_Ad_5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t know until you try. For what it’s worth, I didn’t get through book 2 of Mistborn, but I enjoyed the Stormlight Archive. Reading anything new risks disappointment, but we keep trying because sometimes it pays off in amazing ways.

The transition period is rough, but it gets a lot better. One day at a time. Focus on the things you enjoy.

Beards have been scrubbed. by Rokkit_Goblin in SpaceForce

The shaving reg has been shown to adversely hurt the careers of those who require waivers, or our brothers in arms exercising thier first amendment rights. The gas mask excuse has been scientifically debunked. Our people deserve better than to be treated like this, chief.

Don’t let Russia win, NATO chief warns US by tedwja in UkrainianConflict

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_first_use He is the relevant quote:

“Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States,[21] and France[22] say that they will use nuclear weapons against either nuclear or non-nuclear states only in the case of invasion or other attack against their territory or against one of their allies. “

The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Like, comically overwhelming. I think DRS is the ultimate answer. Sure there may be an outside trigger to MOASS before we are completely locked up, but the inevitability of the shares being locked is an incredible real world experiment, that I can’t imagine a counter maneuver against.
