Or assuming you also have no energy, are completely unbound by these prefects; floating in blissful oblivion.

I have a set of values:

• Be social
• Seek autonomy
• Give solidarity
• Live in community
• Be healthy
• Have a clean home
• Work is to support other values, it’s not a value itself

And so on…

The choice i make is the one that aligns best with my values. If i have time to think that is. Otherwise my subconscious picks it’s own weights.

There’s a hierarchy to the values but they change in substance and position over time. That’s by design. Humans grow and change.

Circularity and contradiction? That’s fine. As long as it’s aligned with my values I know I’m unlikely to regret it.

CBT has its roots in stoicism but stoicism is definitely not a form of CBT.

Amazing how hard it is to express the TE in TERF is an absolute.

Haha ahhh pre-enshitified internet was so good. Anonymity through obscurity ig.

Not sure i’m particularly concerned what most search provides consider “suspicious” these days.

I remember websites having links to other websites that weren’t really affiliated and that being as effective as an searches. You clicked through the internet like it was a file folder system managed by thousands of html authors playing the telephone game.

The animation and soundtrack actually didn’t bother me after the first couple arcs. I think it has a lot to do with how the show engages with emotions. It’s not meant to dig too deep. It’s supposed to be a sort of all ages work and it achieves that. I can totally see how people enjoy it btw. Not knocking it, it’s a really big accomplishment in its own right. It just lost my interest after a while. If it evolves beyond there, it wasn’t fast enough for me. Which is weird, because i usually like slow burns.

One Piece - with One Pace i got through the alabasta arc. The characters all have good back stories and motivations. I mean it is well written, but with how the stakes and emotional depth are managed it just feels like a sit-com. I want to like it more, but i just don’t foresee myself throwing it on again.

Mushoku Tensi - yeah agree on having a lot of trouble seeing past the perviness of the main character, and the narration is really annoying. I did like the depiction of combat though, rather unique for anime.

Averages. They’re almost always a bullshit flag if it’s tied to anything remotely political. If you’re not going to also give the standard deviation and skew then at least use median.

The fascism was the friends we massacred along the way.

I use color-blindness safe color palettes at work even though none of my coworkers are color blind and yet the idea of writing /s for a cynical or hyperbolic comment disgusts me. Eh, pobody’s nerfect ig.

You can’t say that!!!

Beyond a diverse sourcing of information one could consider sources which present their bias up front.

An analysis seated in a well communicated philosophy is better than one with its motive hidden behind a mask.

Furthermore, information being factual isn’t enough to be unbiased. Bias also applies to the selection of information being presented, or more importantly, not presented.

Sure regulate it then, effectively, and cut out any international trade which allows for the procurement of goods through a non-regulated system. Find a common agreement of what regulation is and find a way to ensure no one has an incentive to break that regulation. Find a way to ensure that a capitalist cannot accrue such wealth as to influence politics (or skirt whatever law you want against it).

The only people I’ve heard who want NO regulation are AnCaps and yeah lol no - (and also they still want property rights ig).

People just want a better system than what we have now. Which is laissez-faire capitalism. Beyond that there’s the political philosophical aspect that “capitalism” can and does effectively mean rule by the wealthiest.

Lot’s of people would be happy with a market system in a socialist society. Lots of people want Anarchism. Lots of people want Communism(the good or bad kind depending on who you ask).

Your example is fine. It’s not an option for most people to be able to source everything they need where the supply chain doesn’t rely on exploitation of labor and resource extraction somewhere along the process. Whether it’s in the materials used by the producer, the logistics in goods transport(oil & gas, shipping, warehousing, etc), or manufacturing of goods (labor, production house, etc…), the chain relies on exploitation somewhere along the way.

Buying the apple from your local farmer still relies on the oil industry to run farm equipment or transit of the product. By and large this is minimize when buying local from independent producers. Those, however, are often more expensive.

The consumer is the last step of exploitation. Where the profit stems from. Again, your local farmer probably isn’t extorting you, but your local grocery store probably is.

True for some. Others specifically exploit your empathy by centering it on themselves, red herrings, or subverting the action it motivates.
