I dress for myself. I like being memorable and looking good. I like taking style risks sometimes, but it seems to work for me.

I get complimented on my style often, and that makes me feel more confident in general.

Because there are three forms of power in this world: politics, violence, and money. Every monolithic entity worth its salt tries to get their serving of all three, and money is often the easiest to obtain.

Idk, I think Egypt is pretty cool.

Ghost Blog. Open source, flexible, loads of potential uses, works every time.

But responding to malice in kind is not always the right option. It is usually only the correct choice when the malicious person has no potential to change. Responding to a badly behaved teen with poor treatment only exacerbates the problem. On the other hand, responding to an oligarch with firm resistance would be the right choice.

The oligarch wants to be treated harshly because that is their core value by which they think the world operates, while the teen is often acting in a defensive posture to avoid harm to themselves and would respond to a more gentle hand.

Your observation is correct, but your conclusion is wrong. “Treat others as they want to be treated.” Different people have different needs.

He could.

It’s similar to fear factor—you can authorize quite a lot of things in a contract.

The medical examiner has said that they don’t think his death was caused directly by the treatment during the stream.

That’s good that you enjoy it right now. How do you see this working long term?

Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not a Nietzsche expert, I just had never interpreted his writings in a primarily political context, and I had read a decent amount of commentary from people who did claim to be experts that refuted the idea of him having fascist or anti-Semitic leanings.

How is this different than the criticism that leftists on Lemmy espouse against modern liberalism?

I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.

I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.

Here is an article that seems to support this view:

This response is exactly why I think it is an ineffective approach. Questioning dogma and tribalistic behavior to someone who casually calls their own child a slur is like trying to argue against poo slinging to a chimpanzee by explaining germ theory—utterly pointless.

Sees pyramid

Cat: “They’re ready.”

Ah, yes, works every time. /s

You are risking the other services you host on that VPS if you get a copyright complaint. It’s up to you, but considering VPN’s can be obtained for around $2 per month, I would imagine that the extra cost is lower than the liability.

But…why? It would probably be cheaper and easier to just run your torrent client through a basic VPN, or pay for a seedbox.

I think the fear of impending death helps you reach the higher octave.
