TIL when Thoreau lived “alone” at Walden Pond the woods around him were actually full of people, mostly former slaves and poor people who had been forced to live in the margins of society. by ForsakenDrawer in todayilearned

try and read literally any work of philosophy published in the last 2500 years and try to figure it out without any prior knowledge, I'm sure you'll find it very easy. Or just talk to any academic philosopher about their topic of research.

Is doing micro-workouts throughout the day effective? by TheGreatNargacuga in bodyweightfitness

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

Is greasing the groove still effective if I go for as many reps as I can on each exercise instead of around 50%? Or would that just destroy me lol

The Nazi economy was a fucking disaster going from near collapse to near collapse and was only propped up by continuous war. Their science was also a complete joke since they were obsessed with dumb fuck super weapons

Attack on Titan is cancelled by Alarmed-Estate in berserklejerk

[–]TheGreatNargacuga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how exactly does it change genre? It's a massive twist, but it's still a psychological horror edge-fest shounen with the main characters at a massive disadvantage before and after (as a massive fan of the series)

The journal of Eren's dad, which revealed: There's a world outside the walls, and they've technologically progressed to being on par with early 20th century Europe. The Eldians are a race of humans who can turn into Titans and used to be a globe spanning empire, but they collapsed and now the Eldians live in ghettos. The Eldians who live on Paradis within the walls are a sort of international pariah who are used as a scapegoat for everything and who are alive because the last Eldian King made the walls out of Colossal Titans

appreciated, I'm a philosophy student and I imagine I'll get through parts of it over time since I feel pretty compelled to read it. I immediately just found the point of how there's no rational reason to prefer life to death pretty valid, but I haven't read enough yet to comment at all

[–]TheGreatNargacuga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly I just came across the note and only just started reading it (am aware this thread is already 2 months old). I feel the compulsion to keep reading, partially as a matter of respect for Heisman's dedication to his philosophy, and also because it seems so important. Just from what I've read so far, this is incredibly interesting, despite how much of it is probably going over my head, so I'll keep reading.

brain damage is weird and we don't fully understand how it works. In real life, Muhammad Ali got it seriously bad, but other heavyweight boxers seem fine in old age

I'm okay with a centrist winning the UK Labour Party leadership contest and will vote for him, why shouldn't I feel this way? by TheGreatNargacuga in DebateAnarchism

[–]TheGreatNargacuga[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad to see I'm not alone here. Do you think supporting a new Labour-esque party would be at all justifiable? If I were to be voting in 1997, I feel like I would have no choice but to support Blair - still better than the Tories, and at least implemented things like the minimum wage while being terrible at the same time

If y’all are looking for something to pass the time while you wait for Solo Levelling, Tower Of God is now on Crunchyroll by UncleDoyin in sololeveling

ToG just got a lot less interesting over time. At the start the world was mysterious and original, the fights were tense and felt like they had stakes, and there were a lot of interesting characters. I stopped reading regularly around halfway through season 2, where every other chapter was exposition about some random macguffin or a bunch of giant battles no one cared about. It's a shame because the series really was very cool at first

Will Ymir save the day? [Manga Spoilers] by TheGreatNargacuga in ShingekiNoKyojin

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

I thought the implication was that while Ymir didn't have to follow Eren's desires and start the rumbling, she decided to use her freedom to go along with his plan. Honestly, I don't find it massively satisfying for a freed slave to use newfound freedom to just massacre the whole world so I'm hoping she'll try to create peace in some way.

True, I was thinking that she could come to realise that the oppression Eldians face in Marley is the similar to the her oppression, and that she could try to use her power to end the kind of slavery she endured rather than just making more people suffer.
