I’ve been keeping up with this.

She is alright, she has been spotted in several countries lately, most recently Finland. She has a new girlfriend named Flutter, and she’s still active on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

For most movies, yes, for some movies, no. Lord of the Rings has a score that can stand alone.

He could.

It’s similar to fear factor—you can authorize quite a lot of things in a contract.

The medical examiner has said that they don’t think his death was caused directly by the treatment during the stream.

Extra effort was put into all of the images of the Thoth tarot. It was, by far, the biggest advancement in tarot since the Rider Waite designs. Every square inch and chosen color is very deliberate, and there are several books that dissect each image for its meaning.

When it was reprinted in the 70’s, James Wasserman of the OTO worked overtime to make sure that the original colors were accurately preserved so that none of the meaning would be lost. The Thoth tarot is a labor of love that has spanned generations.

I try to avoid them as much as possible, usually.

I’m not saying he’s unusual for a 13 year old, just that writing articles about him like he’s a progressive silver bullet seems to be off the mark.

In my opinion, part of that attitude is a valid criticism. Republicans are good at constructing messages that appeal to the emotional and instinctual parts of the brain. A lot of democrats have been stuck in a pattern of indignation and admonishing, which is what I detect in this kids videos.

If you look at the last two promising progressive campaigns, they were ones that also figured out how to appeal to emotionality. Obama overcame a major establishment competitor with Hope, Change, and pop art. Bernie did better than any leftist has ever done by focusing on a battle against the elites that must be waged before it is too late.

It seems like the rallying cry is more effective for swing voters and nonvoters than intellectual outrage is.

I agree with most of his points, but there is something about his delivery that I find a little obnoxious. I’m not sure he is going to effectively change people’s minds as much as he just appeals to the intellectual liberal crowd.

I’ve totally lost track of what this post is about because I’m just looking at the 8000 mod removed comments by SlackShaolin.

I like to think that at least a dozen would think “oh yeah, that guy, he was cool back when I knew him.”

That’s good that you enjoy it right now. How do you see this working long term?

Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not a Nietzsche expert, I just had never interpreted his writings in a primarily political context, and I had read a decent amount of commentary from people who did claim to be experts that refuted the idea of him having fascist or anti-Semitic leanings.

How is this different than the criticism that leftists on Lemmy espouse against modern liberalism?

I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.

I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.

Here is an article that seems to support this view:
