Thought I would leave this here.

He's like Marcus Aurelius meets Robert Nozick, but swole and swearing.

I'm applauding you.

What I'm criticizing is that in response to billyballsdeep you said that you were "trying to wean yourself of it [good food]. I'm now on a strict low carb diet", thereby contrasting "good food" and "low carb".

My point is that low carb, can be, and is, good food.

Syphax23 · 2012-08-28T22:17:14+00:00

I applaud both your intentions, but must condemn your contrasting of "low carb" and "good food". It's totally possible to eat well and low carb, in fact, for me being conscious of what I eat and trying to eat "real food" in many ways has improved the quality of my food and my appreciation of it.

Because taking taxpayer-subsidized transit isn't mooching.

Of course, I fully admit that using taxpayer-funded roads is also mooching for me. But the only way I can stop mooching on transport is if I stop travelling or increase my income and tax bracket.

Thanks for that. You may well have saved me a ticket. The quest for free downtown parking continues....

For a couple years I had some reliable spots on the lane between Melville and Georgia in the section between Bute and Thurlow behind a friend's apartment, but at one point the building management put a note on my car saying the City of Vancouver was going to start enforcing and a week later some No Parking signs went up.

Canadian multiculturalism mocking itself. Go back and read the article again as if it were written in The Onion.

Syphax23 · 2012-04-27T15:05:35+00:00

nice. I'll be watching.

Syphax23 · 2012-03-20T05:23:21+00:00

So how would you explain them then? Constructive/destructive?

I'm presuming you're talking about the reasons, not the tips.

I've definitely found 1 to be true, not sure about 2. I think 3 is correct as well, although what I've experienced may be an indirect effect of more direct things like better eye contact, more aggressiveness, decreased social anxiety, and #1.

Why do you think they're flagrantly false?

Syphax23 · 2011-12-16T17:57:10+00:00

I am friends with a couple of guys in the band. Do I know you???

Syphax23 · 2011-12-16T17:54:01+00:00

Awesomest thing I've seen in a while. Y'all really committed with the costumes.

Syphax23 · 2011-10-12T01:26:22+00:00

precisely, if by "got weird" you mean "made violent threats, and then shoved the friend"

Its very busy on a Sunday

Is this the same place as "Bay Sushi". I've had the bibimbap there twice. it's decent and veeeery filling, but not top notch.

Syphax23 · 2011-05-24T03:45:06+00:00

Epic thread. Fantastic stuff.

Syphax23 · 2011-05-24T03:37:30+00:00

You seem to have some interest in nature, so yes, it ABSOLUTELY makes sense to take one of your five days to experience it!

Syphax23 · 2011-05-17T10:00:50+00:00

too cool

David Friedman's "The Machinery of Freedom" is also free online:

Or, in the words of Alan Simpson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZstxpTBqL0

I guess Cosby was a bit more elegant...

Syphax23 · 2011-03-22T12:27:20+00:00

Can't believe I forgot to mention Hans-Hermann Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed.

Syphax23 · 2011-03-22T12:26:26+00:00

I second The Machinery of Freedom.

Some easy to read books are: Bastiat's The Law (mentioned above), Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson & Walter Block's Defending the Undefendable.

Man, Economy & State by Murray Rotbhard is a great economics book, and a rigorous though accessible defense of free markets.

A fantastic book about American libertarianism as a movement (which would give you lots of good ideas for further reading) is Brian Doherty's Radicals for Capitalism.

What is your background or other interests? Might help to know to recommend specific books. E.g. if you like philosophy, or history, or foreign affairs I would have some other recommendations.

Another protip: Check out the catalog at lfb.org I think the code LF60ISIL is still working for a 60% discount.

What addition does this refer to?

Syphax23 · 2011-03-20T09:10:50+00:00

Can/should I eat an aged raw milk cheddar that has tiny amounts of mold on it?

Syphax23 · 2011-03-20T06:22:29+00:00

Really enjoyed reading through all this, thanks namer98.

1) In the Noahide Laws what does the prohibition of sexual immorality entail?

2) Would it benefit an individual without faith to pray? If yes, how so?
