I'm really sad about it but I'm not going to renew Mullvad once the 6 months I already payed for are up.

I'm fine supporting companies that have people with poliical views I initially interested in Mullvad for political reasons and one of the founders giving a significant amount of money to a political group that wants to restrict the rights of other people is too much for me.

Not everyone is cynical. Some of us have actual values we act on.

> Help me understand this attitude, because I've mostly seen women wearing these types of products, and they stand to gain a lot in terms of security from wearing them.

How? This is just going to give a bunch of creepy men an easier way to film me. I'm dreading these getting mainstream adoption.

We have central planning just not by a government

I'm sorry it upset you. I thought it was funny but I'm also younger and I think I escaped most of the dextrocentric bullshit my parents' generation had to deal with. My mom was forced to use her right hand but it was mostly just an inconvenience for me. I like making jokes about being sinister (literally the Latin word for left) but I'd probably feel differently if people smacked me over it.

Are you aware of the irony of complaining about people being hypersensitive while you're overreacting to someone explaining why some people might find a word offensive?

It's philosophy, it's probably very dense prose. Formal Greek/Latin writing tended to have very long sentences with a bunch of subordinated clauses. People don't really write like that outside of academia or "highbrow" literature right now.

Casual letters and graffiti would be closer to tweets.

I can actually read Ancient Greek. LLMS are really bad at it.

> * ἐκ- = “out,” “thoroughly,” “to the end”

ἐκ is more motion away from something. It's often an intensifier in verb compounds but not really as a standalone preposition.

Ancient Greek is a very different language from English. I've found people who try to brute force it by looking up individual words without a knowledge of the grammar end up with a worse understanding of a text that someone who just reads in translation.

There's also the Telegony. Odysseus has a son through Circe who winds up killing him and marrying Penelope. Odysseus son through Penelope, Telemachus, marries Circe. There's some wild stuff that doesn't survive.

Jesus doesn't say anything very explicit about homosexuality but he's pretty clear that no one should be rich and it's never ok to kill. I've been seeing a lot of hot reinterpretations on that front.

The amount of people who wade into this fight without knowing a single thing about HRT baffles me.

I think he means don't be trans. Fits with the rest of the rant.

I love the irony that her notebooks are something to be feared.

> And what level of risk is worth saving $1,450 per dose on an injection? 1/100? 1/1000?

I've have plenty of friends that would struggle to afford that. I have friends that buy black market drugs because they can't get/afford a prescription. I don't know if I would make the same choice but I can I can understand why some people do.

Cicero was so obnoxiously pompous and vain. Maybe go further back to Solon?

> But your local public library should be a way to make reading accessible to the average middle to lower class family. And that means providing the materials they want to read - not what you think they should.

It's pretty classicist to assume that only rich people are reading those kinds of books. I have plenty of friends who struggle to pay rent who read dense stuff like philosophy, lit. theory, etc. This whole David Brooks style paternalism drives me crazy.

You say that but the author mentioned On Grammatology getting purged. That's a pretty important and influential book. It's a very difficult read which probably contributes to it not being checked out very often and it should definitely stay there.

The land has changed hands a few times since it was deeded to the county. They're sueing the entity that sold it to the people developing the data center.

I think their point was that lots of media is easily piratable but still makes money and companies continue to produce more of it.

I think the parent meant church. Most people aren't aware of the different functions of LDS churches, temples, and wards.

I don't think you should take what the NBER says at face value.

> For example, theft is bad because it deprives you of your possessions. No need to invoke morality.

This assertion also hinges on morality. Why is being deprived of your possessions bad. You ultimately have to reach for an ethical framework to justify it.

Maybe in a normal world where a company's valuation is based in some sort of material reality.

How do you interpret,

"Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets ..."

I've been told men are intimidated by successful women my whole life. Women aren't being tricked into having careers.

The whole framing of "women are only valuable for their personal assets" only makes sense from the perspective of a certain kind of man. My whole point is that this is entirely subjective. People talk about it like it's the natural state of things but it's a cultural belief.

> Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets ...

Women can pretty much do anything men can do. How is a wealthy, financially successful woman less valuable than a man?

Definitely worth shooting innocent bystanders over

It's literally been documented that it works. No need to be transphobic.

You would be too if you got priced out of your apartment and didn't have family to support you. When I was living in Oakland, the vast majority of homeless people I met use to live nearby. Happy people don't get addicted to drugs.

Because this isn't about helping people. This is about punishing the homeless.
