>Not everyone, first of all, is enthusiastic about the concept of a postconventional morality. Hogan (1973, 1975), for example, feels that it is dangerous for people to place their own principles above society and the law. It may be that many psychologists react to Kohlberg in a similar way, and that this reaction underlies many of the debates over the scientific merits of his research.
This is the sorta thing I mean with how the stages kind of assume a certain moral framework as ideal Or at least, communicate it as ideal, whether that's the intent or not

Several of the criticisms listed on this page are about its implication that the beginning is not ideal morality, certainly, but that the end is. It's the end stage and it's interpreted to mean it's the 'most good'. So people who don't see it that way are against it, or predisposed to anyway
We are all, always, eating out of the trash can

And, by the way, I'm not saying their criticisms are actually 'wrong', at least some of them, just that I don't know if those criticisms invalidate the theory.
making an average of 10 an hour at least i'll have health insurance and stuff probably only oging going* to do the two jobs thing for a few months i just need to catch up on rent and stuff from not working for a couple weeks and then pay back my mom a couple thousand fortunately my total expenses right now are really only like 700 a month so if i'm making 700/week gross, then i'll have an extra grand or so a month a few months of this and then i can go back to a comfy 40/week all paid up in debt
>>514420 rent is 1700 split 4 ways utilities are ~500 split 4 ways phone bill is less than 50 always spotify/hulu are like 12 a month or something crunchyroll / ps4 / etc are like 30 a month total so at the end of it all my monthly outgoing is like 700 >>5144220 house with 4 people, and that's electricity, gas (stove/heater/oven), water, trash collection, internet/cable/phone, renter's insurance
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
500 on electricity and water? that is quite much, even for I suppose quite large household, since that large rent
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>514421 Huh, here a rent is basically water+trash+community fees + how much landlord wants to profit weird to see those as separate bills
Anno
here it totally depends on the landlord I also have to pay water, etc. separately, the rent is purely for the house though 500 is still quite a lot, I also live with 3 others and we pay 140 a month for all utilities
b b b b b ang
i mean my landlord could totally do it that way if they wanted but this way is easier for them and cheaper for me probably >>514424 most of the electricity is for the AC during summer and i'm including internet as part of utilities (which is more expensive than any other singular part)
the other thing that i'm not mentioning is that i'm conducting the finances for the house (as in the roommates pay me and I pay the landlord) and i'm charging $500 split amongst us 4 evenly at a flat rate, intentionally higher than the actual amount, and leaving the excess funds to carry over into the next month, so at the end of the lease there should be a sizeable amount of savings to split 4 ways and help cover deficiencies in the depost (for carpet damage, professional cleaning service, etc)
so 500 is a lot, but it's not actually 500 and whatever is excess goes back to everyone at the end and it makes payments easier for my roommates, who only need to worry about a flat number for each month

I'm reading the book she wrote now, and to me it seems like she's taking as essential to women this different way of approaching moral questions, rather than as a result of the socialization of women in current society Though she might be right, too
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>514425 Heh, I did the same when I had roommates all utilities and such were in my name, though we both paid the landlord directly Amusingly, in the current system, how our contract would have been signed, we'd have been counted as "registered couple" in terms of bureaucracy when dealing with the state benefits office
Anno
what a coincidence, I also take care of all the finances for my roommates it's indeed much easier and for things like utilities you can't even charge 4 different people a split way
b b b b b ang
yeah the dates for the different utlities and internet and such are all different too, so this way is much easier for everyone i charge them early as well, leaving a good buffer time in case they're late

Kirara ๐
why do you think it isn't necessary, moon?

i have a suspicion that it's a byproduct of our productive energy cycle, and all cited evidence about sleep was conducted during periods of social pressure to perform under a certain standard i could imagine a human state exists where sleep is not necessary whether that's a condition that's met currently is something separate

Since Curiosity landed in 2012, it has sifted samples of soil and ground-up rock for signs of organic moleculesโthe complex carbon chains that on Earth form the building blocks of life. Past detections have been so faint that they could be just contamination. Now, samples taken from two different drill sites on an ancient lakebed have yielded complex organic macromolecules that look strikingly similar to the goopy fossilized building blocks of oil and gas on Earth.

I bet you use the synthesis matrix to pair up your characters for bonus damage. It needs a proper misuse of English words.

People will say dumb shit and I can easily swoop in and correct them and teach them something. But it's all like, surface level stuff.

Maybe my expectations are just really high. I retain information easily so I can learn stuff like that just from reading articles once usually.

does the library have an online search?

Do they do interlibrary loans?

no idea i talked to him once and he said he wished he could hire a prostitute just to cuddle with and talk about things and nothing more i would have offered tbh
i had a philosophy prof in community college that knew like 17 languages fluently and worked his way through college by destroying his body working for a shipping yard he was a south korean gentleman he influenced me a lot he is probably one of the top 5 people that have influenced me in my life i always felt so bad for him being at a cc where he wasn't appreciated

Not necessarily.

Kirara ๐
>>515106 probably jan for me as well but with jan it's a little different communication with jan feels more like there's a bigger emphasis on messages being understood at an emotional level whereas with you i think it's more balanced not that there's less emotional level with you just that with you it's in more domains
>>515107 i feel like with jan, talking is unnecessary at some level we're both so absorbent that more is communicated without the noise of articulating thngs, and the vocal channel is left for trivial bullshitting

I think I'm gonna have some leftover chili myself. Which is also pretty nice.

>>515120 i'd say something witty here about the audial sensation of food versus gustatory but i can't think of anything so i'll just toss it out there in case someone else has something consolatory
>>515124 water you havin for dindin i've got swedish meatballs with mozzarella i dont think mozzarella is really part of it but i had some i needed to use
ๆ
>>515122 do you put sour cream on your chili i had some the other day and did i like the flavor combination
Yuu
>>515127 I dunno, I haven't thought that far ahead.
>>515128 I don't mind the flavour but the texture difference between a dollop of sour cream and chili is a little gag-inducing for me. I generally don't put it on myself but I'll eat it if I get served something chili with it on top. I generally just put a very redundant starter to my sentences it seems. Usually I'll put a layer of grated cheese in the middle of the chili bowl then another layer on top. A good sharp cheddar doesn't offend my texture obsession and gives a great flavour accent.
ๆ
>>515130 my roommate made a similar comment regarding the texture of chili and why they couldn't eat it "i'm a texture person" or something like that idk, i love flavor so much that i dont mind texture i mean, texture people probably can't even enjoy natto
>>515131 Yeah , I understand. It bugs me that texture can mess with me so much sometimes but I mean, I'm not exaggerating when I say something that bothers my texture problems will make me gag a bit.
Though in natto's case the sheer fermented smell might be enough to put me off even before I get to the texture.
>>515140 Did circumstances make you certain it was supposed to be that, or was it just really phonetically emphasized and you had to transcribe it close to phonetics.
ๆ
>>515133 are you okay with missing out on that >>515145 it was recitation of an email, hence the accompanied spelling
>>515146 I've made peace with not feeling compelled to try everything the world has to offer. I still might in the future though. When I went out to Korean barbeque last week I had a chance to try grilled tofu after a life up 'till now of not handling it well because of the texture. Was surprised to find it much less abhorrent than I remembered it being.

idk why i got reminded of that when you said "yall dont know what love tastes like"

>>515191 I stole it from a meme page Froge btw LV raised a really great point that Lizard might just be something of a hanger on. Froge seems more like a real friend while Lizard seems like a student
important thing to consider: does rook identify more with lizards or froges?
i think lizard
i would have to go with lizard
Anno
>>515194 It's all relative man. High school was close to a decade ago for me now. Why should a high school crush have an impact on me these days.
sk
>>515200 No Froge betrayed me if he was the racist one, and I think he's more likely to be the one than lizard, and neither will tell me what the deal was

lizard having a role model means that he acknoledges he has room to improve he sounds naive cause im a fucking god awful role model, but he has a good head on his shoulders i'm looking forward to meeting the person lizard will be in 10 years

whenever i get on steam a good friend i drifted away from spams me with messages cmon man we can't hold a conversation like we used to
YuuAnno
>>515214 My point is that the argument's case for frog being good relative to lizard is that frog got me with my high school crush. Which ten years down the line both statistically and anecdotally for me is something I don't give a shit about anymore. People don't really tend to stay close to their high school crushes except in the rather uncommon situations that they end up life partners.

when the government decides to get rid of the jews, they'll have a database of people that are probably jewish they can also use that genetic profile to compare it with dna from crime scenes

The major update Microsoft is pushing this week has asked me if I want to update twice now but I'm allowed to keep kicking it down the road.
i'm already havin to convert my work files into different file formats so that i can even process them adapting to a new system where i don't know what rules that entails is a whole lot of re-learning for a job i'm already overbooked on

windows 8.1 is absolute shit the design is horrible, it barely works half the time at least windows 10 is functional when it's not updating and it's not bad to look at i would expect someone like you that does computer shit would have some level of awareness of how bad windows 8 is

Can I just get Windows 7s look with the functionality aspects from 10 like directx 12
For real though he probably knows enough about computers that he knows its worthless to spend time pining over a better OS that doesn't exist Windows exists and is good enough. Thats why its successful.

it's very good with a really good story

>>515423 did you play it? i thought you didn't play it
Kirara ๐
fish and i played it a few months ago
ๆ
i thought it was really good matthewmatosis commented that the "puzzles" were tedious, but i felt like that was intentional it really forced the player into a mentality of earnestness, where you don't want to have to do shit but it's part of survival in that way, it was more immersive, even though it was sometimes repetitive and the animations that went with it really gave a granularity to the exhaustion of hiking that far and then having to tread water while pushing a pallette or carrying a heavy af ladder around like, that's stuff you'd really have to be doing and you'd have to be doing a lot of it i got a lot of sensation out of the recognition of effort and the exhuastiveness and how precious energy was, as opposed to just craving some novel challenge as a video game
Kirara ๐
that's how i felt too the parts where you play as elle were really powerful imo like when you're hunting that deer the game was so immersive that it was easy to get really invested in the characters i think i projected onto joel a lot
ๆ
there was a fair amount of immersion breaking in the combat sections though pretty dumb that your allies just straight up walk past an enemy or stand in an awkward spot but it's ignored because they're not the PC there's a really cool part though when you meet up with that guy and his son, and the son wants to take that mecha toy but he's told "only what's necessary", ellie stays behind around the toy and will pick it up, but will -only- do it when joel isn't facing her it's super cool

can you // wait I think I answered my own question

remember when obama pitched a baseball
Kirara ๐
i pitched a baseball once obama isn't special
Kirara ๐
i wish people wouldn't invite me to social gatherings how do people go to so many there are several every week i don't want it
ๆ
idk, and they feel like they mean nothing too there's nothing social about them i can't stand shit like that
Kirara ๐
just gonna stand around together and barely interact several times every week
ๆ
a social event imo is like when me and you want to take a project together to film something or when i want to collaborate with someone on a publication or deployment of a new program over several weeks shitting with people for a couple hours while drunk isn't social it's a distraction
Kirara ๐
yeah it doesn't feel truly social unless you're interfacing with others some kind of joining even collaborative discussion i don't want to go do nothing with a group for an hour or more
ๆ
visiting another artist's studio and critiquing is social going out with them for lunch and margaritas is just getting lunch i'm a little personally perturbed by this current phenomenon
Kirara ๐
it's frustrating i can enjoy just hanging out with someone but it's not really social and adding a big group just makes it unsustainable it's not worth the energy or time
ๆ
a buddy trip to a waterpark with me, you, rook, and jan def counts as socializing though just sayin get that money black man

building a water park together

i didnt mean to type that last line transcription overload i guess
I'm set to meet up with some friends from high school that I haven't seen in like six or seven years since gradutations. I was really close with a lot of them back then but between usual life complications and the way I shut myself off from a lot of the immediate world in that -in those past years, I'm really anxious over meeting up again. They obviously have a mental image of me that's dated six years back but the same goes for me and it's worrying to know I'm probably not the way I was back then, or knowing they're not the way they were back then and that I might be abrasive because of how I'm working off that previous portrait.
>>515466 I mean, I do want ot -to see them again. I still consider them people that I was close to. It's not like we parted on bad terms, just natural drifting apart. And I don't really have a lot of people immediately around me that I can lean on and engage with face to face easily. It would be nice to have something like that. But that doesn't quash these feelings of unease and worry that anticipating the event bring up in me. I tell myself it's not going to be as bad as I worry it can potentially be, but doubt is pretty insideous. In the end, it's only one day later that it'll be all over with. That's not much more time to have to deal with this concern. I can deal with it.
ๆ
tell em you dont want to that's what i'd do
ๆ
>>515465 to me, stuff like that is destabilizing i figure you to be someone who values consistency while it might be fun to see a blast from the past, what good is it gonna do you it makes me feel all confused afterwards and tilted with uncertainty but maybe that's just me i'm super high anxiety
Anno
It's a hypocritical aspect I kind of struggle with. I do like consistency and structure, but I can only handle so much of it before I start feeling like I need to run away.
For me personally too though, I also crave a manner of face-to-face conversation and being around people I can be comfortable with. I've noticed this after stuff like the Japan trip I took and the Philly road trip. It's easy to not notice it I guess, when I go extended periods of time without really engaging in more "normal" conversation, but it's definitely apparent to me how much I miss it in the immediate period after having to let it go. Though I'm also still aware that the hypocrisy I mentioned above still applies here. I'll appreciate and crave the consistency of this social interaction until I can't take it anymore, then I'll have to hide myself off from it all, probably. But I'd like to have options to have something like it.
ๆ
i wouldn't view that as hypocrisy that's too binary of a view i love the expansion of my worldview as well, but i know that unless i can maintain it, the recoil is very painful and discomforting sometimes the exposure is a catalyst to make an important change, and sometimes it's unnecessarily getting my hopes up regardless, it's not a hypocritical action it's just probing and exploration to understand better my current condition and re-emerge myself into the possibilities i think that that is always a good thing in the strive for growth but at the same time, i'm very jaded and cynical and don't want that hope sullied by something overly superficial, or something which does get my hopes up and drops it painfully
it's not hypocrisy imo as much as it is fickleness and caution
Anno
I guess I'd say I'd rather err on the side of hope rather than cynicism. I deal with what feels like at times heavy mental absue from the parts of me that are extremely fatalistic and expect things to go horribly before I even try them, that I will stubbornly cling onto the things that I even think might turn out good.
Anno
Big insight from a guy who has had a ridiculously similar experience recently We are actually even CLOSER friends today (after a 5 year long seperation) than we were when we were in middle school Even better, they've since made like-minded friends, who have now become my friends that I'm easily getting along so well with because they've passed through the friend filter
As a side note, it is somewhat disheartening to see how little people have changed over time But I guess it's also good that they haven't deteriorated or gotten worse personality wise
ๆ
>>515470 i definitely hold the idea that everything is going to disappointment me always, just because it's a safer option than having hope, and everything i've clung onto until now in my younger optimism has left me in tatters i'm not so jaded as to think that good things can't or don't happen, but as a practicality, i 've lost my receptivity to their call
Anno
>>515471 That's good to hear, I'm happy things turned out well for you.
The fact that the ones that reached out to me are four friends of mine that even amongst the four of them were pretty close friends back then, kind of eases my worries a bit. They've either all changed as a group or haven't really changed much at all since then, and in the weird rational of my head, I feel my chances favour the latter.
ๆ
actually the fact that i've made these statements is distressing to me a younger me would have been very upset at this sorry for trying to disincentivize you through my awful cynicism and negativity
Anno
Well it's all right. I've already committed to showing up, and my principles wouldn't let me ditch out last minute after agreeing. I'm just stressing out a bit and trying to clarify my thoughts by talk-typing it out.
Anno
>>515473 Is the scenario: >you've all drifted apart from each other or >you solely drifted apart from the friend group while they all stuck together
Anno
I don't know the full scope of it, but probably the latter. I totally checked out of that social group like six or so years back and haven't kept track of them. It feels like they've all stuck together to some degree over that time though, from what I could gleam from the phonecall I got from them a week or two back. Apparently since I dropped out of contact with them they've talked about trying to findm -find me again over the years, but only got around to it recently.
ๆ
i have a lot of people i wish i could reach back out to i just assume it would all end horribly and the anxiety of waiting for something that may never come puts me off
Anno
Maybe I'm just desiring being wanted again and I'm throwing myself at the slightest hint of it.
>>515477 In my case, I'd like to think I have changed a lot over the past 5 years, but I guess I wouldn't know since I don't have an objective 3rd person perspective So either I was similar enough to my old self for them to still like, or they just also like me as my new self with all my changes both cool and are two different good paths your day might go
Anno
Yeah, that's a good point. As far as people go, I feel like if they want to like me, pretty much whatever I present will probably be likable, providing it's not a sheer contrast from what they're expecting.
ๆ
i wonder if my old friends would still want to hang out with me if i was dead
Anno
>>515478 I can sympathize though. They got back in contact with me by talking to my brother on facebook, and I let him give them my number, since I don't really have many vehicles of communication. The period between giving out my number and the moment they actually called me was really terrifying. I was pacing the length of my house running over the the "what ifs" and if giving out a phone number was too much or something in that situation, or if I was too pretentious in responding to a facebook inquiry with my number, or something. I am glad it paid off but that period of time was really, really stressful.
