Resonosity

I listen to podcasts all the time, ones by American, British, and Australia speakers, and I think my aural comprehension has actually improved from that. I have a friend just like you though. Has to turn on subtitles for everything.

Yeah I can’t watch subs. I don’t want to have to read for a movie. I want to see the faces and expressions of people or characters as scenes play out. If I’m reading subtitles, I’m not immersed and the story doesn’t slap as much for me.

There are bus services in rural US where companies pick up people who’ve signed up. It’s not even a market problem at this point.

People are just NIMBYs and averse to change, or at least the ones who show up to the local town council.

That’s a terrible ping 😂

Unfortunately I go there still anonymously for when I need help or advice on certain life things, but I browse in a social media sense on Lemmy.

I’ve said this before: if there was a way to create more discoverability of Lemmy through a search engine, I’d choose it over reddit. Lemmy has different domain names based on server/instance, and that makes wild card searching impossible.

I know there are other search engines out there specifically for Lemmy, but that doesn’t work for me.

Silver buckshot is how I describe it

Actions speak louder than words sort of thinking here, which I’m inclined to believe.

At the very least, politicians who have changed their stances on issues they voted or worked towards in the past should make reversing those changes part of their agenda. Shows good faith, and is beholden to other branches of the government at that point.

In college I was taught that a belief = a good reason:

Good as in the traditional Greek sense that the end is either the truth or the flourishing of people, including any instruments that serve as a means to those ends;

Reason as in a cause originating in the mind that influences action or behavior.

So if you had a belief of something, you had a good reason to do something. Believing is good reasoning.

Obviously, you can easily devolve into moral relativism here, so I think the Aristotelian school can ground us again, favoring perception, deduction, and induction to get at “objective” reality, like you say.

The issue is when pundits and rhetoricians hijack these projects by basing them on religion or political party, using language and pseudo-logic that can appear as trustworthy to those easily convinced.

I like your description of ideas though. This sort of concept has been jostling around in my head for a few months. Appreciate the illustration!

Yeah infinity war was better, I knew this the moment Thanos ripped that planet down with the power and space stones

The DnD will continue until morale improves
