  • By "misspent", are you referring to those deposits?

  • Read up on Discordianism. Fight the horrors with silliness.

  • Because of the "every time". Only sith deal in absolutes.

  • Yep

    Jump
  • I mean, yeah? I think a lot of my traits are hard-coded caveman traits that I've adapted to the modern world.

  • Not necessarily, depends on the groceries. If you shop irresponsibly, you can spend just as much if not more on groceries.

  • "Every anecdote that challenges my biases is a lie".

    Bad faith bullshit

  • I have deliberately avoided interacting with people like that for a while, and I don't really feel like digging back like a year to find a specific examples, especially since you came out of the gate unshakably convinced that it never ever happens.

    But I assure you they exist. No I'm not generalizing pro- Russia/China sentiment. I'm talking about people who advocate the forceful spread of their ideology through violence.

  • Look into the kabbalistic concept of tzimtzum, it's an interesting take.

  • I would imagine he, or members of his staff, did read them all before today, and have a good idea of the contents. I believe he explicitly said he was going to reissue certain ones.

  • Is that why Jews say "la chyme" before they drink, since it's going into their stomach?

  • You would be incorrect, I do no such thing. I'm speaking about a specific phenomenon, as I described.

  • I wasn't talking to you

  • Unfortunately not, I have had conversations with them. And I know your next line is going to be "But they're just trolling, no one really thinks that", and I call horseshit. That "trolling", when so religiously adhered to, inspires weak-willed onlookers into sincere belief.

  • What about Keynesian-style pizza?

  • That's exactly the complaint against tankies. Tankies are specifically authoritarian "communists", who defend the violent enforcement of "communism" by authoritarian states. Tankies explicitly want to control others who do not share their beliefs, that's the material distinction between a tankie specifically and a Communist in general.

  • What do you think a tankie is?

  • Uh, I don't think you understood their point. Tankies aren't communists, they're authoritarians with a red paint job. We're not talking about nuanced Marxist thinkers, we're taking about people who think "Just line everyone who doesn't accept my exact interpretation of communism up against the wall" is rational praxis.

    There are plenty of ways to rationally arrive at Communism, but really the only way to get to Tankie is, as the top comment says, rejecting Western propaganda in favor of the propaganda of so-called "communists".

  • Ahh the French

  • The low 000s are all generally pretty meta subjects, how we interact with and organize knowledge in general. Journalism and library science deal with reporting and classifying information, computers and programming deal with processing generic data, unexplained phenomena deals with things that can't be assigned to a specific subject by their very nature.

    Witchcraft, Feng Shui, and Tarot are all generally found in 133 (Parapsychology and Occultism), although I could imagine particularly high-level books to be sorted into 003 (Systems), since they are supposed to be comprehensive systems.

    Books about computer hardware would be next to electronics. Computer science is where it is because it's a more abstract topic about general information processing. If anything, I'd argue that fundamental mathematics belongs in the 000s with it.
