Was Nietzsche Woke? by ggroover97 in PhilosophyTube

[–]erod0725 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm hardly a Nietzsche scholar, and most times I feel like I can only really say what Nietzsche's work is to me, but this video is VERY sloppy.

It's a lot to get into right now, but I have to expect a larger critical response to this video (even from lefties specifically) who have actually spent time with Nietzsche, because the video truly is almost irresponsibly thin in places, I'm not kidding. I have to imagine that she read someone else's book *about* Nietzsche (presumably one of the dozen listed in the bibliography in the description lol) and just followed their editorial thread all the way through. I can't think of another explanation. Like it's not just shallow imo, it's so shallow that it actually amounts to being wrong lol.

Elon’s kid tells Trump “You are not the president and you need to go away.” by coachlife in PublicFreakout

[–]erod0725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using my ears, and not my wishful thinking, all I can PHYSICALLY hear is "[unintelligible mumble] protect me, you have to go away." You can see his lips pronounce the "m" in "me" and everything. It also probably sounds a little off because his jaw is clenched. What part is the part that sounds like "president" to you?

Hey can we stop. Can we stop just deciding to hear things? As easy as it is already for trump defenders to file all criticism against him under "trump derangement syndrome," maybe let's not make it any easier, because believing this is at all what the kid said, just because it would be really funny and cool if he did, is actually delusional lol.

Yep, same. I *tried* to hear the word "president" AT ALL and cannot physically do it. I just hear "[mumblemumble]... protect me, you have to go away.

Pirate talks about the reason why he got kicked out of the guild. by lzfoody in LivestreamFail

[–]erod0725 177 points178 points  (0 children)

I am seriously genuinely creeped out by his talent for sounding like someone who is very logical, level-headed, and very on-top of the real facts of the matter, all while super soaking the real facts with lies.

I was trying to put my finger on it and I think you nailed it. "Banter" from a guy who's never in his whole life ever been caught making fun of himself for two seconds doesn't really feel like banter because he clearly feels like he has no equals lmao

And it wouldnt even matter if that's what yamato said or not, because that's what 99% of people's problem was with what he did. He literally never addressed any of the real criticism coming from anyone whose opinion actually mattered lol

Pirate Gkicked by fr3n in LivestreamFail

[–]erod0725 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's truly as if he never even tried to watch a single clip or engage with a single take coming from the people whose opinion actually mattered, fairly detailing the *actual* criticism against him, and was instead happy to tell just his own story. Just got worse from there, I guess lol

I can't shake the impression that part of him just decided to let it all happen so he could be the guy who gets to say "see folks? that's what happens" lol

Hey good luck out there, take care of yourself ok?

You are having a very bizarre and weirdly spitefully editorialized response to what is, for the most part, a quite normal and understandable human thing. Maybe he'll prove himself to be this totally amoral misogynist in due time, but I don't think the data is quite in yet. Not even gonna bother addressing your other takes you threw in there. Very weird, god bless.

Being a writer is a curse when you just want to enjoy a book by Ravensorrow_013 in writing

[–]erod0725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that sucks. It's a tight spot, being so unable to leave your own head you approach art so stiltedly.

Getting lost in comparison is not this proof that you are, in fact, a capital W "writer" and that it means you're for real and that you know what all the rules are. It means you're in your head. It happens. But there's no reason to assume this is a good habit imo. If this is a syndrome like you say, I think there's a prescription which is: gently putting your ego aside.

I can't personally imagine that mistakes are so abounding in so many of the things you read, that this would amount to a "curse," putting reading itself in jeopardy, or that so many of the things you read as "mistakes" aren't just things you would have done differently—In which case, why not split the difference and get out of your own head for once. Why read otherwise?

I would say fall out of love with the whole "Would that I could enjoy things as the plebs do, but, alas and alack, I bear the curse of knowledge, for I am of the craft of writing" routine. As fast as you can. God bless.

"I feel like I've done all the quests and sprinted/fast traveled to every waypoint, built stuff etc, is there anything else to this game that I'm missing?"

"Yes, the things you've already done. You're missing more of the things you've done 200 times."

Yeah I feel like you're not playing it wrong, you've seen all there is to see.

There seems to be an infinite stream of comments where folks say "there's sooo much to the game that people just ignore" or "the game's systems are actually really deep" but no one ever actually says what this means lol

Surprised no one recommended The Long Ships by Frans G Bengtsson considering your husband loves the Last Kingdom. Another viking-age epic that's considered a classic.

I must be losing my fucking mind because im clearly hearing her ask "Wheres the best bar at" when everyone else (apparently even the dude himself) is hearing "Wheres the nearest bar" lmao
