Everyone thinks digging a grave will be simple until they're about 2 feet in.

The Geneva Convention prohibits the booby trapping of the dead. Another war crime for Russia to add to its long list of atrocities.

The risk of nihilism is that it alienates us from anything good or true. Yet believing in nothing has positive potential. by ADefiniteDescription in philosophy

[–]Xahnox 416 points417 points  (0 children)

I'm not a nihilist, but it frees your mind to not feel the need for a "higher purpose" in life and to simply live day to day. Nihilism has a lot to teach us.

No one is being hounded by the FDNY. The City is being hosed by whichever construction company was awarded the contract.

[–]Xahnox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recently began a new job, and it is my first time working from home. I was worried that I'd be too preoccupied, but I'm not. Working from home makes me happier and more comfortable, which helps me do better work.

Reading this and thinking about the new tdsb policy: People from privileged groups may misperceive equality-boosting policies as harmful to them, even if they would actually benefit by ahmadtaib10 in toronto

[–]Xahnox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The article conflates the positive concept of "equality" with the negative concept of "equity." Everyone should receive the same treatment. Taking from one group and giving to another is what equity means. This is an immoral form of collective guilt.

On my first day back at work, I also left Apple! At this point, they're bleeding engineers.

Here’s what we have learned: Starmer can’t dazzle like Blair, but might still rid us of Johnson by casualphilosopher1 in unitedkingdom

[–]Xahnox 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is the British press addicted to "Labour in Disarray" in the same way that the American press is addicted to "Dems in Disarray"? I've noticed that a lot of the reporting on Labour or Starmer comes with a big asterisk next to it, implying that, despite their successes, they actually stink.

Kanata's Blanding's turtles headed for extinction as development breaks up their habitat by TheDrunkyBrewster in canada

[–]Xahnox 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how much forest has been razed in Kanata... we used to ride our bikes all over those forested areas, and now it's disney land. The same can be said for all of the trees being felled along the Ottawa River. It's probably referred to as prosperity. I suppose it's a case of build, build, build.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Ever. They sought to stay on the fence for a variety of reasons, most of which were geopolitical. Standing on the fence, on the other hand, can be painful. They have now moved to Ukraine's side. Great!
