Scraping a post from 7 months ago to lob a shitcanned insult? Yea? Is that normal behavior for you or like, are you an actual bot searching the word “bot”?

welp, that’s a new low.

is this nsfw because it has the word “whore” in text? Are we that fucked now?

You’re not wrong.

It’s also important to realize that Camus was writing this in response to Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. Authors who had really expanded on an popularized nihilism and existentialism.

Kierkegaard tried to answer Nietzcsche’s nihilistic writings claiming that existence persists through faith, or something like it. Basically that we continue to live because we believe that living is important, and that gives it meaning.

Camus says, faith is dumb, living is dumb, but it’s not meaningless either. It’s just absurd, and we need to be comfortable with the absurdity.

EDIT: That said, I could still be misunderstanding Camus. I have read “Myth of Sisyphus” twice now and listened to it as an audiobook playing in the background more times than that, and it’s still a complete mess to pick apart. Camus’ writing is so dense with similes and metaphors and he takes the longest route to get to any point.

its actually Camus’ answer to abject nihilism and why people don’t just kill themselves. Knowing that all the work and effort of living is ultimately meaningless and the absurdity of continuing anyways.

Ringworm, just everywhere. Syphilis in his eyes. Use your mind’s eye; manifest it into reality.

See, this is the kind of thing that I thought AI would be used for.

But now, after all the generative bullshit, and theft and hallucinations and antisocial reinforcement and environmental havok and techbro douchebaggery… I just dont care.

Oh no… .

this was the first quote I thought of after having read Orwell’s. I think they’re both talking around the same thing here and I agree with them on it.

Pacifism is a virtue for those who will be unaffected either way, or who benefit from the status quo. More to the point, it’s convenient and easy to do nothing while feeling morally superior. And it’s the position of people who look at the violence of the conflict and conclude that both sides are the same. Because they don’t want to inconvenience themselves with having to look any deeper, learn anything more, or get involved in any manner. Afterall… it doesn’t affect them, so its easy to be a smug pacifist.

wheesht?

I can’t pedal and write code at the same time. I can’t focus and concentrate to read and understand things while trying to pedal, it’s too distracting.

How’s that corpo boot taste? If you lick it real hard maybe you’ll get your own boots, but only if you lick real shiny.

okchamp.

☝️ 🤓 reddit debatelord moment. Okbuddy.

you’re just be pedantic. The issue isn’t about it being “mostly”, it’s about if its a “men’s” thing. A 42/58 isn’t that wide of a gap to say that it’s one gender’s thing. As the difference could likely just be attributed to other cultural factors and not the thing itself.

If office workers were split 42/58, you wouldn’t call it a “man’s” job, even if technically there’s more men.

you irl:

eyyy there goes $140 million dollars just so the chuds could take their chud-to-be tax burden kids to gawk at the military propaganda while saying “whooooa look at da airpwane”

They dont have children, they are a child.

This seems pointlessly gendered. Lazy rabebait.

Oh, got it, youre just a literal child. Of course you know everything.
