Solice Kirsk posted:No. He'd be the monster everyone is currently pretending Trump is. And then there's Paul Ryan who is just a political Terminator who has thrown away all pretense of social conservatism and just wants to see children dying in the streets and being ground up in industrial machinery. Ytlaya posted:Initially I thought he would be the same or worse, but Trump is doing a lot of really bizarre stuff that "normal" Republican presidents probably wouldn't do*. Normal Republicans are constrained by the fact that they have to at least maintain the veneer of responsibility and sanity, but Trump seems a lot more...active than I was expecting him to be. Eh, that wall stuff is the least insane part of his platform, it was a bullet point for every past president including Bill Clinton, and it effectively already exists, except it's a wall of men and patrol cars rather than concrete. The really worrying thing is that he will sign anything the Congress Republicans bring to him so he can get back to tweeting about TV shows. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 11:10 on Jan 28, 2017 |

As B. Fuller saidī: "We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."

It is a societal problem that the immediate assumption of people is "we would just be lazy and depressed if we didn't have jobs". We have been so thoroughly worn down and de-socialized / atomized / dehumanized by the wage system and private ownership of production that we can't even imagine a fulfilling existence of living according to our preferences even when offered a blank check in the form of a hypothetical scenario. It's the ultimate Stockholm Syndrome.

hard counter posted:i think modern society has just excessively abstracted the original 'you help me, i help you' co-operation of pre-industrial societies via the wage system so that we're totally disconnected from the idea that others are working their asses off to make sure our basic requirements are met, i can't imagine just being handed all my meals, my shelter, my healthcare, etc without wanting to put something back - if someone were building my house i would want to give in return something commensurate

Closed-Down Pizza Parlor posted:What, exactly, do you think those kids are doing on those phones if not socializing in some manner? Phone is not a replacement for actual socialization, or even just observing one's surroundings. Also kids who grew up with intensive use of phones and other gadgets during their formative years have worse kinesthetic skills.

MisterBibs posted:"The truth is in the middle" isn't always wrong. Sure, there are times when it isn't, but still. Truth is almost always between the two most extreme opinions. The problem is that there are people who think that things always need to be moderated between two positions, even if it makes no sense. For instance you may say "truth is in the middle" of the GOP and Democrats. Well, buddy, saying that the truth lies somewhere between Stalinism and Nazism would make sense, though it would be min-killingly banal, but the two American parties are already IN THE MIDDLE of the possible spectrum, so close to each other that they are nearly indistinguishable on most issues, and the recent flurry of outsiders just demonstrates it by contrasting the historical trend with an ACTUAL existence of relatively radical stances. So saying the truth is in the middle between Democrats and GOP is infuriating because they are not extremist forces, they are the most milquetoast centrist market-tested parties, and you assholes still think they are too far leaning in either way? It's an opinion that says politics need to be diluted to a point where it becomes just a self-serving technocracy. And if the balance shifts so one party becomes radical, and the other remains centrist as hell - they will still say the truth is in the middle, even though the middle is now somewhere else entirely. The same can be applied to other contexts as well. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 11:14 on Feb 3, 2017 |

veni veni veni posted:This is how I feel about frame rates in most video games. I used to think I was unable to meaningfully tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. Then I got a better monitor. It also matters that not all framerates are equal despite having technically the same numbers. A graphics card can output a high framerate, but still cause some stuttering by making the duration of individual frames inconsistent, thus absolutely ruining the benefit. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 11:12 on Feb 3, 2017 |

Grandmother of Five posted:I'm not familiar with specific definitions of English words in methodology, but ideology, whether it is political, religious or strictly based in ethics, isn't based on logic, but on faith-based convictions at their cores. Of course there is reasoning, though, but it is inherently faith-based. Ideology is nearly always based on logic. That doesn't mean its axioms or logical operations cannot be flawed. Fascism is the one that comes closest to discarding logical thought, but it does come to that conclusion through a logical analysis of its basic assumptions.

Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone are both excellent. Haven't seen any of his other movies, but Hobbit is a children's fairy tale, albeit relatively "mature", so I think based on those two xamples it would have been straight up his alley.

That's still a wholly self-centered behavior rather than helping a company out of gratitude.

The minimum requirement should be checking the past few pages to see if your argument has been brought up, but otherwise in a debate forum any argument should be welcomed. If it's a rehash of something that already happened, link it to them instead of probating them. The OP should keep their first post updated with rules of the thread if she wants some standard of discussion to be maintained. If she doesn't do that, it's her problem that new posters aren't as good as she would like.
