If by natural forces we mean things like gravity, electromagnetism, color (strong force), and flavor (weak force), then absolutely there are phenomena that transcend those.
Those things are logic, causality, time, identity, math, etc. Ontology or metaphysics would be the formal subject. A lot of people in philosophy already study this, and it's considered one of the main branches of philosophy alongside epistemology and ethics/morality.
I've been studying causality lately, and it's fascinating how one of the best theories of it is that we diagnose causal relations based on how regular/reproducible they appear (Regularity Theory of Causation or RTC).
Same. And sometimes if it's convenient, I'll keep my recyclables like paper, cans, and glass until I have access to a sink to clean then (glass, maybe cans) and can toss them in my recycling system at home.
Fyi, make sure your recyclables are dry before dropping them off/having them picked up
Negative señor. The most important issue for voters this past election was the economy. People don't feel like anything has changed since 2020. So, if the current administration isn't helping, maybe a different one will.
That sentiment is the reason why Kamala gained so much traction after Biden dropped out, and also the same reason why she lost that traction when she attached herself to Biden's administration or policies rather than breaking away.
The Democrats have consistently failed to represent their base since Obama won in 2008. Hell, you could make the argument that they haven't represented their base since before Clinton.
But sure let's keep blaming the voters for rejecting a party that doesn't represent them, and not holding the party accountable by continuing to vote them into power since our votes are a given as the Dems move right.
Your stance is basically to shut voters up and let them take it up the ass, whether they want that or not.
Oh I agree. Republicans are the originators of all this shit. They are the cause for so much ill effects.
But Democrats are supposed to be that counterbalance in a duopoly. They haven't lived up to that. They'd rather chase after evil instead of standing up for something good.
I'm not sure what's worse. To use a historical example: are the Nazis worse, or are those who didn't speak up and fight back when they could have?
Right? Seems like even on Lemmy, a platform seen as progressive compared to the status quo, you'll still find Liberals that would rather point blame at their fellow class rather than holding their elected officials and their donors accountable.
Exactly. Democrats failed to end the genocide in Gaza because they didn't create a partisan line in the sand to separate the State's current bipartisan stance towards Israel.
Most Americans support ending the way in Gaza. Kamala should have run with this right out of the gate, breaking away from Biden and cutting any strings she has with him. The reason why Americans and donors pressured Biden to drop out is the same reason why Kamala lost. Both represented more of the same, and that voters felt like the current administration wasn't hearing their voices.
So out of spite or piss poor messaging on the Dems' side, people chose Trump instead.
This is absolutely an issue with establishment Democrats. Don't get discouraged from sharing this idea in a post not having to do with Bernie Sanders or AOC. It's the truth.
Again, part of my argument in favor of cover letters is that they help the candidate better prepare for the (sometimes multiple) interview process. They can help a candidate distill the main reasons as to why they want the job, which can make conversation easier if you're more comfortable speaking to those more personal things.
Mostly web surf, listen to music, take notes, do file organization, etc. I have my Steam Deck for gaming, and I'd probably use web-based apps for the engineering work I do before loading anything onto my laptop
But I may also want to download things like FreeCAD and other tools in the future
