Many abilities and properties we thought to be exclusive to human consciousness were later proven in animals. Such as the capacity for empathy, thinking ahead, and recognizing yourself in a mirror.
Does that mean animals are partially conscious? Or can we accept that the definition is fuzzy at best, making this a moving target?
I already gave you the reasons. Not surprised people would drop you when you'd drop them like a hobby you stopped caring for. Your attempts at counter-arguments are so obviously in bad faith it's not even funny.
I strive for my own happiness and living a meaningful life. I couldn't care less about being ordinary, it's vastly overrated.
These are personal experiences that I had to learn and try to put into action in my life, and it has helped a lot especially as someone who's struggled to be a social person at all for many years.
And nowhere did I say it's a choice between two extremes. I said resilient relationships take work. That's not an extreme, it's nudging things into a healthier direction over time. When you just let things happen without putting in any work, it's no surprise things shake out the way you say. But that's not a given, it's a choice.
That's NOT "how life just is as a man". Friendships and other relationships are not static, they are either maintained or not. Yes it's an uphill battle because we aren't socialized for this, and we all have hangups and internalized fears around being vulnerable, or saying the wrong things when people are in a bad place. But that's how you get true connections built on trust that can withstand life changes instead of fair-weather friendships that last only as long as it's easy.
Nihilistic doomer takes don't help anyone, they just drive some people into an incel / blackpill mindset where they are the perpetual victim. And that's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Trump and the DNC themselves are the fruits of accepting the argument of "harm reduction" for long enough.
Guess what, it's always this election that we need to support an 'electabe candidate' standing for nothing while promoting conservative and nationalist values, and always the next where we'll surely be able to put pressure on the Democratic party to field a candidate that actually wants to change things. You know, the type they like to fight and slander at every turn otherwise.
Matter of Interpretation. It's not a time-limited discount anymore so it's "permanent" in that sense, but there's no commitment to not again raise the price later.
Amazong. If I saw someone 10 years older than me absolutely tearing up a path in the woods, pushing themselves the way I remember biking for fun, I'd be nothing short of inspired.
I upgraded to premium last year. Never heard about the price increase until this article. But frankly the change in leadership is more concerning to me than that.
That's what they are trying to communicate here, yes. But 8.5 million users didn't need to be told they need to trust the platform, they chose to. As did I with a premium plan to cover MFA and attachments.
Now with business types in charge and a hidden doubling of the fees, that's more than halfway out the window no matter what the website stands for. I'm guessing somebody decided it's time to cash in on the goodwill they built over the past decade.
You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.
... I was just pointing out that you keep misspelling it.
