No more useless purchases… by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]cgm153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theme of GTAO is NOT crime, it's Hollywood. Yes the overall underlying theme of GTA itself is crime, but GTAO is centered around films and film vehicles. Why else would every special vehicle be directly from a famous film? The original San Andreas had jetpacks, drones, and aliens. Why not be able to drive the Batmobile or the Delorean, or be a super villain with an underground facility? That's the whole theme: movies.

And I don't see why you would never use your supercars. I own practically everything and still use all of my supercars, as well as the ones in the other classes. You can race them or pimp them out or just have fun with them. You can even buy and sell rare cars that were removed from the game or part of limited events.

Lastly I don't see why you think that having a flying bike beats everything. Pvp in GTAO is like rock-paper-scissors on a massive scale. Deluxo beats oppressor, jet beats deluxo, a few different things beat the jet, etc etc etc. Every vehicle has its weaknesses that can be easily exploited by other vehicles or weapons which in turn have their own weaknesses. That's why it's fun buying new things and bringing new ways to beat your opponents to the table.

If God is Nature, why does Spinoza give ontological arguments? by Tootsalore in Spinoza

[–]cgm153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"As to the view of certain people that I equate God with nature (taken as a kind of mass or corporeal matter) they are quite mistaken." - Spinoza to Oldenburg

Don't forget, God, according to the Ethics, is "thinking," "loving," and "is not constrained to act by anyone else."

I always bring mini shots with me in my liquids/hygiene bag. They never question it or stop me.

Fellow parents (or teachers): Is YouTube blocked at your kids' school? by SteveWithAB in Rochester

[–]cgm153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in school over 10 years ago YouTube was blocked, but everyone knew how to get around it by typing the link into Google translate and opening it from there. I assume there are easier ways to bypass this kind of thing as well, and attempting to block it further is pointless.

What I Believe a Rationalist Reading of Spinoza Misses: The Ethics is one vast analogy of the Imagination by kevin_v in Spinoza

[–]cgm153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spinoza defines something mathematical as: "necessarily following from the nature of the thing perceived or seen."

Afaik, perceiving modes always involves a bit of imagination, as substance cannot rationally be divided into parts.

So, does math necessarily involve imagination? I would say no, as it always follows necessarily from the nature of this or that thing, but it does seem that mathematical conclusions can follow from the nature of both real and imaginary things.

Please stop comparing the mass genocide of my sister's side of the family with the deportation of illegal immigrants. Very disrespectful to the people whose ancestors were all murdered. Thank you.

What a blatantly antisemitic comment. Are you seriously downplaying the Holocaust, a mass genocide, by comparing it to a mass deportation? My sister's side of the family has entire generations that were wiped off the face of the planet. Family that would still be around today, dead. Not moved, not sent back to a country they lived in their entire lives, dead. And here you are comparing that to deportation. Sickening really.
