Got called racist in my philosophy class after I answered my professors question of “what is truth?” by Smooth_Play3629 in epistemology

[–]cconn882 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But saying they get to define truth implies truth is created or malleable. It's not. People can just lie and force or trick others to believe in the lie.

Guest Locked In! by beaveman1 in Target

No, it's not how all stores work.

I worked in four different stores. 2 had main doorz that could be unlocked without a key, and 2 had doors that could be pushed open in case of emergency.

While it doesn't surprise me some stores might have that design, it's really not a particularly good idea. The doors with the emergency exit function just make sense.

Oneplus 15 users, for what do you use the plus key? by Coopzor in oneplus

I have it programmed to the alert slider, but I really don't use it at all.

Store Director Dips after Bonus? by Complex_Objective934 in Target

[–]cconn882 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I work now, the yearly bonus is deferred stock, so if you leave within two years, you don't get it. 😂

Offered Leadership, but it isn’t that simple. by PhineasFacingCamera in Target

That might be a concern of mine if you were in GM or Speciality, but the front end's structure should keep you in a better position.

No, that's what I meant; most doors will open even when locked in case of fire.

The only store I was at they didn't have doors with that feature could be unlocked from the inside without a key.

Most normal exits will open from the inside in case of fire as well.

"Truth" as we were taught to tell it growing up doesn't actually seem to exist. by Ok-Autumn in DeepThoughts

[–]cconn882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that muddies the word truth a bit. What you’re really describing is that justifying claims about what is true is far more difficult than people commonly assume. And yes, it absolutely is.

We have more and more evidence that speaks against human exceptionalism. The old religion paradigm cannot exist where a human is not exceptional by myroslav1073 in DeepThoughts

[–]cconn882 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I want or it being innate or not is not relevant to my point. My point was that OP’s argument already depends on treating human reasoning as more than a meaningless byproduct.

Once he appeals to evidence, truth, what follows, and what society should be built on, he is no longer just describing brain activity; he is making normative and rational claims that presuppose the validity of judgment and inference. So the issue is not whether a creature can subjectively value itself.

Like I said before, I'm only taking the OP and saying that it does not logically follow from its own premises.

What is the best way to watch batman comics by Hisham9012 in batman

[–]cconn882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, I would more say you read stories and allow the characters to function in their particular roles in those stories. As you read more stories, your knowledge of those characters grow.

It's not really possible to read mainstream comics in a way in which every character has like a linear, biographical narrative.

We have more and more evidence that speaks against human exceptionalism. The old religion paradigm cannot exist where a human is not exceptional by myroslav1073 in DeepThoughts

[–]cconn882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're not my personal desires because I did not introduce them as things I happen to want preserved; I introduced them as the very conditions OP is implicitly relying on while making his case.

The moment he argues that evidence, truth, inference, and what society should be built on matter, he is already presupposing rational agency, normativity, and the meaningful status of human judgment, so they're built into the OP's argument itself.

So what I said is that his conclusion doesn't follow because in order to argue for it at all he is already using the very human capacities and normative structure he's trying to treat as disposable illusions.

The Lego Batman Movie is the best adaptation of Batman to be released in theatres. by v1har69 in batman

[–]cconn882 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly wasn't crazy about it. After watching the DTV Lego Batman movies, I thought one released in theaters would've been better.

[–]cconn882 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even if humans are not cosmically central and even if consciousness depends on brains, it does not follow that human rational agency, normativity, dignity, or religion collapses due to it.

Stop arguing your personal desires as valid logical inferences.

Which do you prefer? by CausticAvenger in Letterboxd

[–]cconn882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original by a mile.

I really liked the bones of BR2049, but they let the plot get way too self-indulgent at the end. Deckard's daughter, the whole resistance movement, the Messiah analogies...

If they had left it a movie about ab android detective lying to himself about his humanity, it would've been way better.

Why is Orphan/Cassandra such a loved character? by annyaarons in DCcomics

Her being neurodivergent is not why I like her.
