I’m also a lay person. We all doing a bit of amateur philosophy so worry not.

A couple things that a Platonist perspective implies is

1. They are religious in a gnostic sense. There’s an amount of “this is how I’ve experienced god so therefore it’s an axiom” which is to be expected of any theological arguement.

2. The world of forms: To the platonists, there is a higher plane of existence in which true forms of base elements exist. The common example is the Triangle. You can draw a triangle and it is never going to be a “perfect” triangle. It will have some amount of imperfection at some scale. However, your mind knows that this is supposed to be a perfect triangle for doing math. This ability to know the thing in front of you is supposed to be a representation of something mathematically perfect leads the Platonists to believe there is a world of forms that must exist because we can intelligibly know what other “perfect” examples of things look like without ever having seen them.

That’s sort of the basics of Platonism that everything gets built out from.

Would the conclusion be better if it was something like.

“So since we have a base concept of goodness rooted in the natural beauty of this world and in our ability to craft new things from this natural world, and we know there is some connection between our souls and the One through our ability to imagine the world of forms, then we can assume that the One is good because it must be a pure form of our own minds. The One is in a pure version of existence because it is not in the imperfect world of matter like us. It must be strictly in the intelligible world because it cannot be felt within the world of matter.”

Something like that? I’m still not happy with the conclusion.

Yeah, the main account has had all their coins burned but not the 7 largest whale accounts that are totally not Cyberleek.

I love to hate on SAO

But that’s true of nearly all anime’s. They’re filled with plot holes, shitty power scaling, and nonsensical magic/science lore.

Turns out, having a culture of single authors writing weekly released manga and then rapidly turning them into anime to ride hype trains leads to some honestly terrible stories.

But its fun! We know they’re stories being told by really small teams if a team at all and they’re trying their best to entertain us.

Also, it’s a good way to see what you do and don’t like in any story. I’ve found hating on anime’s has taught me what I appreciate it something and then I stick to stories that do that well.

SAO taught me I love fantasy aesthetic anime’s but also that lone wolf angst gets old to me.

No, gun parts are “Glock Upper receiver” and “AR-15 Bolt Carrier group”

These are precision machined pieces that fit within such tight tolerances that fucking it up is how you blow up your hand.

3D printed guns work because you can 3D print lower receivers because it doesn’t actually do anything with containing an explosion.

It relies on off the shelf parts of guns being available.

Now could they be printing a fully DIY gun like a “Fuck Gun Control 9MM” aka an FGC-9 and build it out of tube, spring, wood. Yeah, sure.

But that IS NOT the majority of ghost guns and those are such terrible guns that their intended use is as a modern Liberator: a gun you use to kill someone with a better gun and take that gun.

Using a FGC-9 in California gang violence is how one gets shot by a flock with a switch. Aka, a better gun.

Source: I live in a state where its completely legal to build my own guns.

I was reading this in a Scottish accent until I hit unmute.

Ah! He said it! He said Bronze Age Collapse! He said the- what. That’s not the title of the movie?

Famously even

Interesting. So shit are they find FGC-9s in Cali?

Just ban the sale of gun parts in California.

Obviously they didn’t ask how ghost guns were made, but absolutely no one on the streets of Cali is using something like an FGC-9, they’re printing Glocks and AR-15 bodies and then filling it with completely legal parts (I think they’re legal. Not sure. Not in Cali)

Anyways, glad they are required to release guidelines for a detection algorithm at least, but its bullshit they can make these requirements WITHOUT a proof of concept at least!

Where’s the revenue stream fellas.

Living in Kentucky, we have a lot of mountainous land that’s kinda useless for anything except hunting and camping.

Not uncommon to know people who bought a few acres out in the hills for the price of a used car and just camp out there. Lots of folks also sell hunting leases to make enough money to cover taxes or pay it off.

I knew a guy with the shittiest private island. He said it cost him $20,000 USD its in Canada, had enough room for a cabin that was just a shed with a queen mattress in it and a boat dock.

He showed me a video of him trying to enjoy it in summer and it was just CONSTANT heavy winds. He said he had to soundproof the cabin and goes there to read and write. If he wants to feel the wind he has to wear hearing protection and a jacket no matter the time of year.

I never thought I’d feel bad for someone who owns an island. Still first world problems galore, but $20k is very affordable for a piece of land.

I’m with @TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world in that its unborn soy bean seeds, but you’re right it is closer to being soybean than a fetus.

So I propose that Edamame is Vegan Balut as a compromise

Its interesting how much evidence there is for the “walking” though. There’s the oral tradition, then there’s the heads that were abandoned after falling over, ones that were abandoned because their bellies were too small to be a proper counter weight for walking, etc.

I really like the ones that fell mid walk that landed face down and cracked in half. The one I’m thinking of is right next to the quarry so it was clearly mid transport and it had to have been the walk method because there’s nothing else that would explain how it landed face down (except like cranes or alien hover tech)

Yeah but if the mutilating doctor is bad enough it becomes ribbed for her pleasure

Check mate atheists

No if you ask almost every time they will site “hygiene issues”

Or they will say “women prefer it” or something insane.

And that’s assuming they don’t cite religion which is crazy in the US because Christianity does not in any way require it at its core.

In fairness that doesn’t look like it was Mileu’s fault, but he was also obviously never going to help

Its crazy to me that the ONLY serious reason anyone gives for why they get babies circumcised is

“I don’t wanna tell my child how to clean their penis”

What a fucking shame. The child rearing fans really wanna make a whole child and then pay a doctor to mutilate them instead of acknowledge they have genitals!

I’m sorry my friend. Turns out all tech youtubers kinda suck for some reason.

That’s actually pretty funny knowing that Garfield has actually always sucked. However,

This is a reference to the subreddit r/Alzheimersgroup where the joke is they just post this same strip every day and pretend like they’re facebook boomers with alzheimers commenting on it
