Jetzt ist ja wieder die Zeit der #Traditionen. Also bei uns gibt’s die Tradition des #Hutzens. Da vergisst man den #Streit und rückt näher zusammen.
--------
Now it's that time of year again for #traditions. In our area we have the tradition of #Hutzens. It's a time to forget #arguments and grow closer together.

حان وقت #التقاليد مرة أخرى. لدينا تقليد #Hutzens. ننسى فيه #الخلافات ونقترب من بعضنا البعض.

I absolutely hate Arguments with people. If it is verbal my ability to talk goes out the window so I sound like a total buffoon.

If I do things via text or email I don't have any issues but verbal does not work.

What makes it worse is that people expect me to conform to them because they are not willing to try another means of communication.

The Philosophical Debates (Kay-Kingsbury Edition)

Andrew Kay (novaTopFlex) is currently in multiple ongoing philosophical arguments involving Alexander Kingsbury, Mojo, and MrLee on Mastodon, all under a common core of shared beliefs for—or against—capitalism. While novaTopFlex fears infinite growth and the criminalization of genuine friendship and authenticity as well as forced conformity to traditional roles in society, Kingsbury claims that capitalism contains no demands for infinite growth nor for related concerns. In addition, Mojo […]

“On average, 100% of reported CSAM cases in Germany are deleted within 2.8 days, and 98.5% worldwide within approximately 7 days – ECO/Annual Report 2022.” This effective system will be destroyed by the planned #chatcontrol. This helps no one! #stopchatcontrol #EU #Arguments #CSAM (dh)

Recent developments in Germany show that automated reports from the US, with a systemically high proportion of false reports, are overburdening law enforcement agencies and hampering their effective work. #Chatcontrol #Arguments #CSAM #Stopchatcontrol #EU (dh)

@Nickiquote Clearly as Musk abelieves in the Bostrom’s 2003 Simulation argument he should be happy with being on a continuous drip of psychotropic drugs and living out the rest of his life in a sensory deprivation tank. If he could stay there it would be of a tremendous benefit to everyone, unless he released a copy of the Epstein files, which could have an even greater benefit. #Arguments #FakeScience #FakeHistories

Snug Like A Bug In A… Hole

A short story in honor of those who cannot help digging.

Hello!

I can see by the look on your face that you’re confused. Look down.

Further down.

Hi! Yes, I’m the head that is protruding from a hole in the ground. As you can see by my waiving, I also have arms. I also have a body and legs, but a lot of it is not visible to you because, well, I’m in a hole.

Oh, don’t worry about me. In fact, this hole is exactly where I wanted to be. I ended up here while engaging in an argument with a friend. I was trying to score some points, but lo and behold, the ground started to cave, and slowly, but surely I ended up in this hole.

You know what? I feel rather comfortable in my hole. In fact, I’d like to enlarge it so that I can sink even deeper into it. Do you happen to have a shovel I could use for this task?

Oh, wow, what a stroke of luck! Thank you for the shovel. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to get on digging. Have a nice day!

I regularly run into people who like to dig themselves into a hole.

The latest one was someone who approached me for dating. I sensed drama in their profile. I said, “no, thanks,” and they immediately proceeded to prove me right by tossing drama at my head with their response.
