  1. In some contexts there isn't a choice? Like when Thanos comes to snap away half of existence, we need masculine girls that can kick ass e.g. Black Widow
  2. Depicting stage red doesn't equal stage red, though. I wouldn't even wanna look at anime/TV shows through a spiral lens, it doesn't feel right to me. You can actually analyze some of the shows you listed for hours, given their depth and complexity (Monster, Beserk, even AOT.)
  3. The actual headline: Facebook allows war posts urging violence against Russian invaders From the article: "As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech such as 'death to the Russian invaders.' We still won't allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. "We are doing this because we have observed that in this specific context, 'Russian soldiers' is being used as a proxy for the Russian military. The Hate Speech policy continues to prohibit attacks on Russians," the email stated. Maybe it's still the wrong move but I feel this gives one a fuller picture.
  4. Certified coomer indeed
  5. I’ve seen a lot people criticizing this Professor (Mearsheimer) online on this issue. Is that because people aren’t interested in understanding or is he just wrong?
  6. I can relate somewhat (tinnitus). Ear problems can be some of the scariest. I believe mine was, in part, caused by excessive use of headphones too.
  7. I try to apply this philosophy: https://dailystoic.com/control-and-choice/ All of the things you mentioned aren’t completely out of ones control, but they are to some extent. Still, it’s easier said than done.

  9. I don’t think it’s possible to integrate your calender in OneNote. And there are simply better apps for managing your to-do lists. I’ve seen a lot of videos on Notion being a “all in one place” kind of app so that might be what you’re looking for.
  10. I’d think I won the lottery if I had an attractive girl say that to me. This might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Then again, maybe you’re just a very different personality type so you do you. Edit: Well, I’m just realizing now that I misread the OP. I don’t think it’s immoral though.
  11. Can you talk more about the contradictions?
  12. "NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring countries and had the potential to destabilize the region. Yugoslavia's actions had already provoked condemnation by international organisations and agencies such as the UN, NATO, and various INGOs." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia
  13. I mostly know about it through Leo's videos.
  14. Why do they inspire some and not others? The interpretation matters. There exists progressive interpretations.
  15. @Onecirrus Sorry I just found your title funny lol
  16. I mean, isn't that kind of wise of him in a sense? It's like if someone is super unlucky and dying because of the covid vaccine but still defends it because it is good for the whole. Not saying that that's what's happening here but maybe its just the thought process of the worker.
  17. Time blocking. I don't really know how much it actually contributed towards achieving an academic goal of mine, but I imagine it still helped. Structuring your entire day feels good regardless.
  18. Isn’t it wiser to try and understand why that is from a historical and sociological point of view?
  19. See the full thread. The guy is willing to give up his whole career for this. It feels… weirdly respectable. Hope this doesn’t turn into a debate on vaccine efficacy or vaccine and freedom since that’s not what this is about.
