Where in the world is a clip of a woman "sucking off an enormous penis" not considered pornography? I'm European and I can't really believe that

There isn't one, which was my point. By your originally stated principle, you are screwed, but now you seem to be just pretending you never stated that principle. I can quote it again if you like: > As a matter of principle, I'

He’s saying practise is realisation, which is a concept developed by Dogen, the founder of Soto Zen
454.

Sure I do think we need to be pragmatic which is why I was questioning your original principle, but you don’t seem willing to abide by your stated principle at all. I’m just not sure why you said it if you have no intention to stand behind
455.

Yeah they’re all funded by Google, so by your explicitly stated principle you can’t use any of them
456.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Sure but you specifically said “funded by” and Gecko dev is funded almost entirely by Google

> As a matter of principle, I'd never use a browser which is funded by an advertisement company which lives off my data to show me ads and rob me of my privacy and cognitive capacity. You can’t use Firefox either then

It will happen everywhere, it’s where the incentives push towards

It just doesn’t though. That is a feeling specific to her and a few others. It’s not universal at all

Why would you expect to be able to cook without essential cookware like pots and pans?
461.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Oh yes, I definitely agree, but I think that the CCC are aware of the risks of neoliberalism

Are you saying that the establishment is anti capitalist?

Hamburg is also one of the most expensive cities in Germany

I was a LIGO member, which is publicly funded, and our live data stream was extremely secret, and in fact when you publish a paper you have to go through an internal review process called P&P that checks if you're using any secret

> with full freedom to work on whatever interests them, and no need to deliver value to the employer You know that in academia you constantly have to beg for money by trying to convince government agencies that you’re bringing them value

Absolutely no chance am I reading an article that doesn’t even give the respect of capitalising sentences. Honestly despicable and I feel personally offended
468.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Er ok

I don’t really know what you’re talking about, sorry. This is coming off as incoherent rambling to me

Worth noting that I trained formally in Buddhism under a teacher for a few years. I’m not unaware of all this And the Vedic version of suffering is all full of love for reality, not wanting to delete it by smashing a button

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I don't look up to Freud and psychoanalysis doesn't work for everyone! I don't even necessarily recommend it. It just worked for me and I realised that in my case the depre

I haven’t experienced this at all in Hamburg, in fact they’re kinda weirdly obsessed with (their idea of) England
473.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I also live in Hamburg and yeah it’s extremely difficult to meet people here considering it’s such a huge city, especially if you live south of the Elbe
474.
by bowsamic 2y ago
No it isn’t, it’s empirically justified, look it up. Hence why the state insurance here in Germany is willing to pay for me to go three times a week. It works
475.
by bowsamic 2y ago
I felt this way for the first 30 years of my life. Then I received treatment for depression (psychoanalysis) and finally tasted joy for the first time in my entire life. Now I love life. YMMV EDIT: If you’re interested what actually happene

What helped me was living in Hamburg and going to the physiotherapist: “Können Sie Englisch?” “NEIN!”

Yeah that's what's wild about it. Those prices are so high despite the fact that Brits use so much gas
480.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Yeah I think it’s just this. We learnt that alcohol is actually really bad for you in many ways, and we taught our children, and they listened. I think it’s pretty funny that our instinct is somehow to be slightly horrified that they stoppe
