Ideally you wouldn't have to be creating something you don't care about at your day job at 40-60/h/w, but instead could spend all your creative time on something you really care about, and doing it to benefit you and you

Why do you eat octopus if you feel bad about it? Why not just don't do it? It's not like you need to for survival.

I was vague, but I think I just meant VPN. Dunny why I wrote proxying. Thank you!

Does Turris Omnia support VPN proxying?

Block it, then.

If I was gathering your stuff without permission, it’s stealing. If a bear or a person not part of society does it, it’s not stealing, it’s gathering. The myths of society are only that: collective beliefs inside society.

Insignificant detail.

by fredsir 7y ago
Sure. Point being it’s all gathering. No difference when you gather berries or other peoples stuff against their will.
72.
by fredsir 7y ago
So it's not gathering when we pick berries because the plant prepared them for spreading its seeds, not for us to eat and end up in our trash. Or we take the tree where the bird nested in, or the beetle, or the abe? Or when we take wha

I ask because the one I asked seems to believe break ins and theft is anything but collective myths existing only because the individuals in our society believe in them. Outside of society, where nature and war takes place, none of those th

Aren't we also breaking in and stealing other, not people, but livings things "stuff" when we mow down their home, destroy their supplies, and then kill them off completely? Is it really a "break in" and "theft

Finding materials in nature (e.g. an untouched-by-humans forrest) vs in society (e.g. someones cabin) is not much of a difference if you are not a part of society. All living things need food and other stuff to sustain its life. You go out,

I just don’t like that many carrots. Would prefer to be able to buy the couple I want. And yes, I do eat plenty of vegetables. I follow a whole-food plant-based diet and have done so for almost 7 years.

For the consumer or the seller? I think I easily save 20-50% when I buy the amount I can eat before it goes bad instead of having to buy a larger amount because it's prepackaged in a too-big-for-me package. Come to think of it, I never

I was the same before. I could get myself to sit down with a book and read, and wanted to, very much actually, but could only stomach it for 15-20 minutes. Then I was looking for the next dopamine fix. And not every day. It was a bit boring

They lived in harmony with nature in every realistic meaning of the term. Being dragged away as somethings dinner, sleeping with one eye open, sometimes going to bed hungry, and so on, is part of natures harmony. That's how it works ev

That was a lot more than I expected! Thank you very much! I'll take the dive in later!

So do you have any recommendations for specific stuff to read for the rest of us... Pretty please? :)

by fredsir 7y ago
And I’d argue that rationale depends entirely on how you react to your experiences. Your experiences can be objectively wrong compared to our shared reality, but true to your internal reality, and if you behave rationally according to your

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying rational depends on perspective. For a person with mental illness, it might be rational the way they act because their brain for example works differently, they experience things differently, and from

Are you really in a position to declare that that was not the case? Do you posses all evidence, or is there actually a chance that there are things about the situation that you don’t know? Also he was mentally ill, his brain worked differen

I think there is a distinction. Rational/irrational is a relative form. It depends on perspective. For people that are wired like most other people, irrational behavior is ... irrational, but if you are wired completely differently me

I think the point was that he, contrary to what you claim, wasn’t a good reminder because he wasn’t irrational, which you implied.
