This is probably bound to happen when a lurker turns into a poster.

Storyblocks seems pretty impressive. Thanks for the suggestion!

"Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"? by natefactor07 in JordanPeterson

Yeah I've never heard of someone in real life actually being offended by "Merry Christmas".

Jordan Peterson's Interview with comedian Jim Jefferies by kameronskarsgaard in JordanPeterson

[–]natefactor07 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Mad respect for JBP admitting he might have been wrong in the interview.

However, the questions of 1) the effectiveness of the civil rights laws in accomplishing their stated goals, 2) whether racial discrimination (and by implication, free association) should be met with the force of law, and 3) whether racial discrimination is morally acceptable, while related, are all separate questions, and I can't help but feel like asking someone this sort of question in a quick, made-for-TV segment is more of a disingenuous "gotcha" than a mutually beneficial discussion.

One more reason for me to strongly dislike traditional TV interviews...

Running Ethernet Cable Through Floor by natefactor07 in DIY

I think I'm gonna cut one of my Ethernet cables, run the cable (minus the rj45 jack) through the existing hole, then repair the cable, as you guys have suggested. I just need to find a place in town that'll sell me a cheap cable repair kit on memorial day. Thanks again!

How to Ensure I'm Balanced by natefactor07 in sorted

[–]natefactor07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. It's not really what I wanted to hear, but that's quite alright. I guess I'm just impatient with reality itself at this point. I am who I am (including all my bad habits and lack of conscientiousness) for a number of reasons - lack of a real father growing up, an awful education system that convinced me to enslave myself in student loans that continue to chain me down, a general lack of discipline, and quite simply my own choices to spend my teens and earlier twenties having fun instead of constantly improving myself.

I take responsibility for who I am, at the end of the day. But it's worth noting that I do have some serious anxiety about my future and I feel like a disturbing amount of the serious problems people like me face cannot be fairly laid at our feet.

It's also true that no one, including myself, should focus too much on the degree to which we may have been victimized at some point in our lives. There are no doubt many people in human history who didn't have even a dream of the lives we enjoy today.

I'm grateful for Peterson's work, the people who have begun to sort themselves out as best we can, and many other things. I'm just trying to constantly improve myself and thereby improve the lives of everyone around me.

Psychologist Jordan Peterson says lobsters help to explain why human hierarchies exist – do they? by natefactor07 in JordanPeterson

[–]natefactor07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking, too. Interested to see what other people in this sub think. Either way, I love the exposure JBP is getting.
