honestly, i’ve never seen or heard a single coherent definition of what we even mean by ‘free will’. until the question makes sense, i can’t really answer it, and don’t see any point in discussing it.
anyways, who here believes in blabblesnork? that is a word that refers to something, i promise, but no, i won’t tell you what it means.
trains. i know it isn’t particularly new technology, but i am still excited about it.
that’s neither authority nor authoritarianism. you’re conflating multiple different meanings so you can shift the goalposts on the sly. a doctor can give you advice, and if you’re wise, you’ll heed it out of respect for her hard-earned expertise, but she doesn’t have authority. she isn’t empowered to force you to do anything. even being involuntarily committed is generally something done by courts, not doctors; the doctors are merely required to carry out the courts orders.
from what i hear about what facebook is like these days, maybe craigslist.
i can’t think of any reason it would.
wow that’s a lot of words. so, basically, you want a term to say ‘i’m straight, but i’d never date a trans person’, but you want it to somehow shield you from any suggestions that you might be somewhat transphobic, and you want it to free you from any obligation or expectation to introspect and unlearn the transphobia that society has programmed you with?
so there’s three methods i’m aware of:
i’m a fairly deft hand at pottery. i’m also decent at fiber crafts. depends when and where during the stone age, of course, that’s a pretty big expanse. if i’m really lucky, i’d be in one of the many cultures with special spiritual roles for trans folks. i’ve also got good rote memorization skills, so i can help with oral history.
borderlands science in borderlands 3 is probably my all time favourite mini-game in a video game
i assume they mean this definition, and not a hairdresser’s.
there’s some niche communities i occasionally check in on on reddit, but i’ve basically abandoned the site ever since the api debacle killed my preferred app. i mostly just browse on mobile so a decent app was important to me.
an exception to what?
but you were certainly thinking it loudly. or how else was one to interpret ‘people from the 18th century wouldn’t be able to do something if it was technically challenging’?
a noose or an axe both put much more need on the skill of the executioner, while the guillotine puts more need on the skill of the engineer. both the axe and the noose are materially simpler, but still very fuckupable without special skills or training, while the guillotine, once built, is much more simply operated by one with less expertise. the guillotine is a tool of mass execution, and its apparent mechanical complexity is there to facilitate that, via ease of operation and resetability.
if we assume the bottom right corner is a right angle and is the center of the arc, then it is solvable in the manners that others here have already described. if either of those is not the case, and the image itself doesn’t state, then there is insufficient information to solve it.
when i got ghosted by my job, i wish i’d started looking for a new one sooner, before burning through so much of my savings.
that only seems to talk about the use of the fasces as a symbol, which is pretty different from explicitly calling oneselves fascists, or holding specifically fascist beliefs. the same article lists a ton of other places one can find fasces. the symbol is much older than the ideology, but that doesn’t mean anything using the symbol shares the ideology.
i’m a little confused why you ever “always considered [yourself] bi”, when nothing you’ve told us here even remotely seems to point you to that conclusion.
i’m not sure i understand the question. if it is meant to ask what experience i’ve had that no other living person has or ever will experience again, then i’m probably not old enough in my mid 30s to lay any such claim. this doesn’t seem likely to be what you mean though, since it should be obvious to you that you aren’t the only surviving person who used the internet in the 90s.
my second interpretation of the question would be that you want to know what experience i am the most recent person to have experienced, which would work with your example, if you consider the ‘early’ internet to have ended and become the regular internet, right after you first got online. for that, a couple hours ago, i walked atop a particular out of the way concrete block wall on my way home. probably nobody has done that since then.
see, i’ve always felt that kansas is just about the most midwest there is
