America failed to install democracy and lost trillions of dollars in the process. All of that for nothing.

You expect Russia to fight like America, but when was the last time that America won a war? America has spent trillions of dollars on colossal failures.

Sometimes there are regressions in the kernel and other driver issues. My laptop is more than five years old and I had to boot an older kernel for a while until a regression got fixed. I guess that's less likely to happen on Windows. N

It may not be easy but it's bound to happen if the results are predictable. Added to that, it's normal for an absolute monarch to be paranoid.

Christians find meaning in their suffering. Materialists find it challenging to do that and often want to erase suffering completely.

If you had a brain scan of pleasure and a brain scan of happiness, do you think they'd be identical? I think you understand that unbridled pleasure eventually leads to jadedness, because you excluded drugs. The other forms of pure plea

Yes, having a high IQ won't necessarily make you wise.
38.
by HKH2 11mo ago
Pleasure is immediate, whereas happiness (or joy) reflects something more long-lasting and is often ineffable. You can get used to pleasure because you can predict it and control it. Joy and wisdom are not gained so easily, and it's th

That's one reason why LLMs are so popular.

I think I might've got confused with Inkscape. I remember GIMP handles transforms very well.
41.
by HKH2 1y ago
Skew transform and other transforms. GIMP also has an excellent print interface. Krita doesn't have one at all.

Keto is not that hard. It's only hard if you like convenient food because almost all food products are geared towards sugar/carb addicts.

"violent enemies" implies they were willing to do violence against him. Where's the evidence of that?
44.
by HKH2 1y ago
As far as I can see, there's nothing there mentioning people accusing others of being 'not fascist enough'. Also, you said 'violent enemies', but I can't see that mentioned either.

> We do not know the motivation of the shooter, but charlie had violent enemies who claimed he wasn't fascist enough Who said he wasn't fascist enough?

The key word that you've missed is 'unfairly'.

The opposite is someone who is trying to tell you something but assumes you already know what they're trying to tell you and that you will ask questions if you don't understand. It saves time but it means people have to say when t

We are mammals though. Doesn't the mammalian brain make us more empathetic? Or do you think our biology has subverted it somehow?

Controlled by our RNA overlords.

Maybe we're just not good at working in big groups (Dunbar's number) and we need a legal system as a result.

I don't agree with the OP, but the OP did say 'on a biological level'. I don't think the OP exists purely on a biological level.

You still haven't answered the question.

by HKH2 1y ago
Happy to hear an answer if you've got one.

All that and no answer? Thanks for trying, I guess.

> pseudo-intellectual More name-calling. You still haven't addressed my initial question yet. I'll rephrase it again for you: How do you enforce norms without a dominant culture? Do we even need norms at all?
56.
by HKH2 1y ago
Sorry, I thought you were dogwhistling. A dominant culture means a step back from individualist values. The most effective 'policies' are created through communities not through law. We cannot rely only on the law for a healthy so

by HKH2 1y ago
No need. I live in a place which enforces the dominant culture.
58.
by HKH2 1y ago
I didn't mention race either. Why do you think culture and race are the same thing?
59.
by HKH2 1y ago
Monocultures don't need explicit laws to regulate things, so it's not the same. Your libertarian argument works in theory, but the reality is much harder when you can't rely on a shared culture.

by HKH2 1y ago
Okay. So how do you determine who is wrong?
