    So what's chat's opinion on the ongoing debate on whether Heidegger was a Nazi or not? I have read enough on the subject to know it's both a bitter and contentious conflict in European philosophical circles, especially France, and that I don't really know if he was or not or if that should matter in regards to his ideas.

    I went to a show with a Norwegian guy with Tourettes last week.

    He was put on some new medication and told it had either two drawbacks, or two advantages.

    He might sweat like a pig and not get it up.

    Or he might sweat like a boar and never get it down.

    "I got the boar kind."

    turns out that pigs don't sweat

    horses, on the other hand

    Is there anything that isn't horrible about those barely sane murder machines?

    when they sweat, it's called lathering

    and then their horrible eyes roll back in their heads

    big rectangular teeth chomping, saliva spraying everywhere

    trampling the heads of human infants

    horses are nightmare factories

    Finally got a summer job at a Walgreens. Only took a month of sitting around after spring semester ended. Technically I was trying to get a part-time at my old Walgreens starting in January, but wasn't as concerned about not getting it -- due to cutbacks in hours -- because it was my senior semester and my ability to focus on my classes might've been diminished if I had to work.

    The bottom-line is that I'm only getting back to work 5 months after coming back from my study abroad semester.

    Nihilism is not a synonym for pessimism. It is the philosophical stance that human existence has not set teleological purpose and that objects have no inherent meaning outside of logical and linguistic predication, i.e. the inherent scientific and necessarily logical "facts" about something.

    I think the first thing I said in [chat] that was limed was something along the lines of "if you think nihilism is depressing then you haven't understood it yet"

    just because she doesnt look completely unfuckable anymore doesnt mean you should fuck her.

    I think he was trying to somehow defend her? Maybe?

    he's trying to fuck her.

    No he's not. He has met her once, lives a few hundred miles away from her, and will almost certainly never see her again ever. He is honestly trying to be nice and protect her from me because he thinks I'm some kind of sexual predator.

    He's just doing so in the stupidest and douchiest way possible.

    EM, the thing about eastern philosophies is that they, to my knowledge, always operate under some teleological manner in which "nothingness" is merely another form of sublimation. Heidegger opened up the door, explored by Derrida, Foucault, Deleauaze, and others, that we are trapped by historical thinking-structures, of which metaphysics is always the ground floor. The problem is that in attempting to tarry with that metaphysics, we must use metaphysics itself, which is like trying to straighten out a moebius strip. They insinuate that it is very likely we can get out of it, but it seems like the universe is just an information generating machine, and once we get out of metaphysics, the new structure will just hint at another margin and meta-structure and it's just turtles all the way down

    med·i·cine
    /ˈmedisən/
    Noun

    The science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease (in technical use often taken to exclude surgery).
    A drug or other preparation used for the treatment or prevention of disease.

    It is preventing the disease of stupid; therefore it is medicine.

    I normally would have to pause something that awful too, but it maxed out my capacity to feel vicarious shame. I just watched it straight through no problem, I don't even know. It's like she wasn't people.
