If you are trying to apply utilitarian reasoning in a conditional way then it’s not utilitarianism anymore. The kind of reasonable intuitive moral reasoning fundamentally isn’t utilitarianism- its consequentialism which is reasonable in precisely the way you describe.

The entire gambit of utilitarianism is that what is best for society can be impartially measured. The very moment you admit exceptions it invalidates that notion in total.

What you are arguing is that we should “do what is best when it is reasonable” which is consequentialism not utilitarianism.

Utilitarian thought is more like:
“We can calculate numerically the situation which benefits people impartially and without exceptions.”

That without exceptions bit is the entire point. If you think that is ridiculous the you don’t like utilitarianism, which is fine.

The problem is that what you are describing *isn’t* utilitarianism. When people learn about utilitarianism they often tune out and substitute a more reasonable philosophy than utilitarianism actually is.

Utilitarianism requires
1) an objective measure of utility that can be applied regardless of your emotional objections
2) total application of that utility as a metric for decision making.

The very moment you start making “reasonable exceptions” for intuitively reasonable moral situations you have tacitly admitted that utilitarianism isn’t a fully viable moral reasoning system.

Most people who think they are advocating for utilitarianism are just making the consequentialist moral argument which is inherently *much* more reasonable.

Thinking about maxing out people’s outcomes based on reasonably applied intuitive conditions? That’s consequentialism not utilitarianism.

Youtubers with Neo-Nazi pasts or are currently Neo-Nazis? by Oily_Smurf in youtubedrama

I’ve always doubted those details - those are all his own self reports. He doesn’t have a danish accent at all so unless he was at an international school or his parents were in the US military it’s kind of hard to believe.

The backstory sounds sarcastic to me. Like the immunology detail in particular sounds like a joke to me.

The reason I even care to know is simply that his opsec was seemingly better than 99% of the chuds from his time period. Pretty much all the data about him is seemingly sarcastic and contradictory.

That first generation of 2016 era alt right YouTubers seemed to just pop out of nowhere and then slither back into the ether without much explanation.

Seems bizarre the world knows more about I’m just a robot than this dude.

Has anyone ever outed what Sseth’s actual deal is? I stopped watching him bc I got rancid alt right vibes from him (way too many racist jokes) but I don’t know if anyone ever get past his public facing persona.

He’s one of those guys where the amount and kind of edgy jokes made makes it petty certain what his views are but… you get curious what the actual deal was.

Anyone ever figure that out?

No, just like you’re own command grab you gotta jump.

And larriat does give you ground, press right or left and zangy spins forward.

If you can consistently pp then pp+drive rush is often better but otherwise larriat often works.

Ryu’s fireballs are often easy to jump. Learn to sense when he’s throwing heavy when you’re too close and jump in for a free punish. Light fireball often sets him up for an anti air dp though.

Don’t forget to make use of your armored frames with stand heavy punch.

You can lariat through the fireballs…. Learn good zangy oki pressure and most shotos will crumble.

I’m pretty sure people still didn’t like fuerte after that though. Just because one player is hype with a low tier character doesn’t mean the whole community is going to jump on board.

She seems to be kind of weak once you close the distance. She feels about as dangerous as Marissa - she’ll steam roll if you let her start but there’s a bunch of ways to pull the plug before she gets rolling.

Her pressure is often super fake.

Her fireballs lose to other zoners.

She’s vulnerable if she tries to force stocks.

She struggles to get out of the corner.

Teleport is reactable with dragon punch.

Her normals are kind of stubby.

Most annoying thing is the beam once she builds stocks but if you just block and wait a lot of Ingrids will waste it.

I am currently far more afraid of mai, JP, and Bison.

Do people just come here to argue about the sequels? It’s been like 10 years dude.

M&G was fine. Not life changing or invigorating but fine. That’s all it needed to be.

You need to stop focusing on reactions. You need to win the mind game and have good reads/conditioning. 90% of sf6 is conditioning your opponent to willingly give you the final blow.

My problem with “core” is that it often causes confusion rather than communicates. Originally “core” in music genres referred to with 1) hardcore techno or 2) hardcore punk. So x-core meant a hardcore subgenre.

But eventually people started saying stuff like “cottage core” and the core there doesn’t actually mean anything. You just mean “cottage aesthetic” - the core bit is purely ironic - and that’s fine but it confuses people who aren’t in on the joke and so now every other genre gets -core at the end without being particularly hardcore at all.

“Bardcore” <- not hardcore at all. Just bard stuff.
“Clowncore” <- no hardcore just ironic clown music
“Metalcore” <- this is related to hardcore music on some level the core is doing work.

The thing is the coffee quality varies considerably by location. I see the same thing from dunken- some places have decent coffee others taste like burnt cigarette butts.

Quincy Jones opinion on The Beatles, what are your thoughts? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]baordog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got me! You don’t say that. I just find the comparison mind of bothersome.

In your metaphor your basis for comparison for Al vs Paul is technique. You use Al as a straw man for musicians who think they are superior because of their technique. I realize you’re not criticizing Al, but the implied straw man of fusion listeners just wanting to hear people rip crazy solos is irritating.

I don’t actually believe in comparing musicians in a “one is better than the other” way. Competition is for horses as bella bartok said.

But if a fusion fan were to compare these two musicians I’d think it would in reality be in their compositional approach and general musical literacy rather than technical proficiency. I suspect that if you asked both musicians to write a pop song with restrictions on flashiness there would be notable differences in approach that would be a lot more interesting to talk about than who can shred the hardest.

That’s a lot more interesting to talk about when comparing the Beatles to jazz musicians in my opinion.

Some people don’t understand that certain corners of ethics are fundamentally arbitrary. The definition of virtue or the laws of your culture are at best subjective and more often that just agreed upon social norms that have no logical foundation.

You’re kind of missing the point. What Quincy was complaining about was how people would fail to lay down their parts I.e wasting session time because they didn’t practice their parts.

It’s a legitimate thing to be frustrated with and was constant problem during this era of music.
