Listening to Kassandra give Socrates the dry snark which accurately represents my frustration with him from my class this semester is super gratifying.
Kirara, M.S.
socrates suuuuucks
Anno
Eh, he's just a prick. Too caught up in some ridiculous idealism that you can't be sure of anything unless it's truth that comes from the gods.
Kirara, M.S.
he also just spouts bullshit in an attempt to confuse you and make you contradict yourself then he points out the contradiction and acts like he's amazing
that was his entire thing that's his legacy
Anno
In fairness I think it's important to be aware of where contradictions arise. My problem is that he's so obsessed with these precise and accurate limitations of what things are that he acts like contradictions are a delegitimizing quality of beliefs When really you can't box in conceptual things like virtue or justice or all the things he really salivates over because they don't possess objective limitations.
Kirara, M.S.
hegel or even marx would have completely decimated socrates dialectics is strong
Kirara, M.S.
i hope we get to assassinate socrates like he'll be like haha no way im not taking hemlock and kassandra is just like yes you are my friend
Anno
I doubt they'd do that. I'm pretty sure Odyssey is set a couple decades before Socrates' death.
Nevermind while they're making him out to be a prick, that's -still- a pretty accurate depiction of him from what we get of Plato's records. And having Socrates go back on his whole "I choose death than rather giving up practicing philosophy in Athens" would be a betrayal of that accuracy.
Yeah I have a friends wedding in January and my sisters later on in 2019 I've avoided weddings for a bit by // somehow
Anno
I've got no friends so I've had a good set up to miss out on them. I don't like wearing formal clothes anyway.
Anno
I've had close friends get married this year and I some how missed out kind of a bummer, but yeah I don't enjoy the formalities and whatnot anyway not that I'll ditch these ones though
funerals have great catering I think you could blend into a funeral pretty easy. They can get pretty crowded so just show up in a suit, mingle in with the crowd, and you can pick out food as you like
Why stop at funerals though? Let's steal from childrens birthday parties
Anno
We need to save cost of the suit in food so we need to wear to wear the same suit to everything
Kirara's probably having fun right now I bet he's fine

Kannagi
I feel like i wanna sleep forever
Maria
I can't remember the last time I woke up and actually felt well rested
Anno
I've been getting some restful sleep recently. But that's because I've been stretching myself pretty thin on sleep for extended periods of time. The eventual time when I get to crash is a nice feeling.
Maria
>>589795 yeah it's nice to just sink right into that bed when you've been running on a few hours
Kannagi
I feel immensely stressed nearly all the time, I just need to get a routine and slowly get everything done.
Anno
I'd like a routine of some sort. But I can't figure out how to build one. Every time I attempt to make one it shakes apart pretty fast.
>>589798 Sometimes I can get a real good set of habits down and do things but moving up , then going to america, then getting back and suddenly I have to keep my house while waiting for student finance and all annoying council tax crap and bills, now I have essays to write to get passes - I have a 30% paper to give on monday. 30% of my overall module score. >>589799 Heyo How are you?

I'm stoned and thinking about how it would be a good idea to clean up and actually start my paper. Glad that I'm // I have no idea what I was going to say >>589803 Doing sucks sometimes and sometimes you get too used to saying later to doing.

The idea of doing is always more romantic than the actual doing, eh.

Rock melon, honeydew and some oj

Kirara, M.S.
turns out there's an urban legend about someone disappearing in the area im staying in and they returned and claimed hell is in that forest before dying or something
>>589885 I guess. She's upset about where I'm staying. Telling her that there's an urban legend about hell being in that area pushed her anxiety over the edge, I guess m she said i had to go home and i said no i didn't so she said she'll be there if i do
Well now that the cat is out of the bag, I can tell you she was planning to be home on sunday anyway. She wanted to surprise you. I guess it would be hard to do so if you'd been somewhere else.
>>589900 Information retention is hard. I forget almost everything I come across too. which is a shame I'd be a lot smarter than I am now if stuff stayed in my head.
Flies are nasty creatures. If someone presented me with a magic button that says "kill all the flies but also they're a vital part of the ecosystem and everyone will be dead in 20 years if you press this button" I'd still press it and enjoy 20 years of peace from flies.
well, regardless of whether flies would have been worse the pictures are still pretty damning The chicken is clearly form the place I worked, and there's a gigantic swollen cockroach fried into the batter. And the thing's spreading like wildfire over social media. I dunno if the place will recover from this
the irony of the Algorithm putting that tweet in that category is hilarious

Putting aside the irony it's also a Very True Experience. I'm well familiar with the feeling of going "Ah well, guess nothing is happening for me today".
Kirara, M.S.
yeah it is relatable

I'm not sure I can relate since my depressive episodes usually made me act out and do some really stupid shit i guess it's different for everybody though

what do homeless people do for IDs considering they have no proof of residence and whatnot
After spending pretty much all of daylight in bed asleep, I went to check the front door to see if I'd missed anything and was greeted with some kind of flyer or infopiece from a bunch of the people running for councillor election in my city district. There was a small sticky note-esque one, one of those hook-to -your-doorknob things, another normal flyer curled up and stuck into the handle of the door. It was kind of amusing.
mnm. it's not so bad. I just listen to podcasts. and if I was that concerned about wasted time, I wouldn't have spend all last night and this morning playing runescape
>>590027 Dude, don't say that. I'm already FIGHTING TEMPTATION
Finns leave bikes unlocked everywhere. They all trust each other.

they have all those unlocked bikes and they stole yours how did you even manage I guess you would ruin our perfect australian travelor reputation if you stole another one
I can't sleep I have to shower which I have and then go outside.
Anno
The colour palette and the headtilt, yeah. They're pretty SHAFT.
I think Akanesasu is a celebratory project or something of Aniplex, which SHAFT generally gets shows to adapt from or something I think. So maybe the social web of that part of the animation industry brought it together.
Worst part is forgetting to fold them after running them through the dryer and ending up with stuff that's kind of all wrinkly. I barely even use my clothes drawers anymore because of that.
the winning move is to wear expensive dress shirts but have them dirty and full of wrinkles. That sends the right message. It shows you have money but also that you don't give a FUCK.
Kirara, M.S.
>>590074 you can see a different psychologist then
Kirara, M.S.
im pretty much just going to work with poor people im ideologically opposed to dressing well because it contributes to an uneven power distribution in the therapeutic relationship
I don't fucking know, man The rationale THE RATIONALE is that even if days like today aren't doing anything to take me towards my long-term goals if I go too hard all the time and never take a break I'll just burn myself out and then things will REALLY fall apart (because that's happened before)
so, you know sometimes you need to just sit inside all day and play runescape and watch anime and then with the RECOVERED ENERGY I'll be able to go super hard again over the next few days
>>590081 thanks for coming up with the perfect grift
Marsh-chan
but maybe that's a justification for being lazy and procrastinating.
Kirara, M.S.
im a psychologist and i can confirm that sometimes you just need to sit inside all day and not be productive it is actually important for your mental health working every day is really unhealthy
>>590088 yeah I can believe that as long as it really only is one day though, and then I have a string of really good days.
because when I've lost momentum in the past one day becomes a week, a week becomes a month and before you know it I'm back to getting blackout drunk every morning at 11:am and I'm failing another semesters worth of courses

>>590090 yeah gotta stay on track im really bad with breaks i take too many i try to only work 4 days a week but then my shit piles up and i gotta do a full week of work to catch up
Part of me maybe a big part wants to defer uni again and travel. See the rest of Europe. Maybe America. I've got the money to do it. No real ties back in Australia that I need to go back for. It's probably the best chance I'll have to see more of the world
but I also just kind of want to get on with my life. I'm already way behind most people my age. Almost all my friends have started their careers. long term relationships. one of them is even married with a kid on the way.
and I'm still an undergrad with a year to go. and my only job experience is managing a chicken shop
maybe it's time just to buckle down and get on with my life. is traveling across Europe really going to make me happy?
>>590099 But how many of them have done even half of what you have in terms of experiencing the world? Just because society says they're more successful because they have careers and whatever doesn't mean you have to say they are Life is meaningless and this is all bullshit so you gotta create your own meaning and do what's right for you
i mean you have this urge to travel more so is "buckling down" really going to make you happier than following your heart across Europe?
>>590101 yeah. you're right. and I probably am going to go for it >they say it's the things you don't do that you regret the most and all that bullshit.
although I'm also more aware now - after doing a fair bit of it - of how isolating and draining traveling alone for long periods can be. There are definite high points which are great. and I've been lucky enough to have chances to see and do some really cool shit. And I'm grateful for that.
but it's not all upside with zero downside. It's hard. It's draining. It's stressful. It can be lonely. if there's no structure around you things can start to feel meaningless very quickly - no matter how amazing your surroundings are.
and so I am keen to go traveling again but there's some trepidation to heading back out into that lifestyle.
>>590117 there's no way i can finish it by the time RDR comes out

At least for me I'm fortunate, in a sense, that it's not known if it's coming out for PC, hah hah.

Ah coolio. That's a comforting thought.
Still plenty of time to not actually complete Odyssey though.

>Can a citizen truly be partial when justice is sought? Must we not first define what justice is? Shut the fuck up Socrates.
Anno
If you have no drachmae Socrates how the fuck did you get to Delos from the mainland. Did you just annoy a ship captain into ferrying you across the ocean?
Kirara, M.S.
how far are you into the story did you do that as hassan outside of the aimus yet or go there rather
Anno
Probably not, I've only had the first outing as Hassan. The one where she gets out to pretty much just get lectured on spending too much time in the Animus.
I finished the lead-up to Pericles dinner party and then started a couple of the quest lines that opens up. Met with the hetaerae of Corinth and the pirate lady. And then headed to Delos/Mykonos because I had an escort quest and a prompt for a cultist quest line there.
Kirara, M.S.
oh, you're only 4 or so main quests behind me
the delos quest line is really good in terms of the story you're close to going there

>If a law is truly just, is it not deductible though logic alone? Shut the fuck up Socrates.
ToN
>>590119 a city the city j was in for like five years
>>590133 socrates literally just says shit to see what you think he's just making shit up and being purposefully vague so he can confuse you into contradicting yourself
>>590133 It assumes there's some basic flawless logic that all human beings could acquire given time and consideration. Logic is as subjective as any other concept of human perception; it is based in your upbringing, the cultural values that surround you, your psychological wellbeing, among other things. If there's no objective logic then there can't be a truely just law to come to a consensus over. Socrates' biggest failing, for lack of a less insulting phrase, is that he was certain there was a perfectly accurate way of defining and evaluating everything. Life isn't made up of half the certainties he took for granted, if you are to assume he took the philosophical pursuits he did seriously.
Also as an addendum to why truly just laws through deductive consideration is bullshit. Even if you assume it to be a truth, that doesn't mean the deductive reasoning to uncover what a truly just law is can happen in a short period of time. Rationally people don't have the time to sit around and ponder on what just laws are; they've got shit they need to do.
Kirara, M.S.
imo laws are incapable of being just people must be just, but their laws never can be
Anno
Laws are capable of being just, they just can't be truly just because absolute justice isn't a thing. They're just within the frame they are created in, ideally, at least, but beyond that they fall victim to subjectivity like all conceptual things like them.
Kirara, M.S.
how can they be just within any frame unless they are able to take every possible instance of a violation into account? if you say it is illegal to steal, for example, few people will say it is just to punish a man for stealing food while on the verge of starvation to be just, the law has to account for situations in which the situation require s leniency but it's not possible for humans to create laws that can account for potential and possible extenuating circumstances we can't really call a law just if it would punish people who would be seen as having done little or nothing wrong the same as it would punish someone seen as having done much wrong
Anno
I don't really agree there. It's not the law (as in conceptual object law, not "The Law")'s responsibility to account for extenuating circumstances. Laws exist to provide safety through punishment for actions committed, ideally. They should not be so malleable as to be shifted by circumstances they should not have control over. It's the other factors of society that should strive to reduce the circumstances, such as stealing food while on the verge of starvation.
>>590146 That's kind of my point. Laws can't be just and it's not their responsibility to be. It's the other aspects of society, like the people, who have to ensure justice is done. Laws can't and won't do it.
Sure, we should ensure nobody is starving, so nobody needs to steal to eat, but we (as individuals) don't have a lot of power over that, and our societies (being unjust) are capable of ending those circumstances but do not. In a just society, those circumstances might not exist, but in ours, they do, so I think there's no justice until there are exemptions for certain circumstances.
but really, ask me later and I'll try to do it properly
when I haven't been up all night playing runescape
Anno
Yeah but we both know a week from now neither of us is going to have a recollection of kicking this can down the road and it'll be wholly dependant on some similar discussion being retread on at that time. And you'll have probably been up all night playing your shitty Java web MMOs again anyway.
because I find this idea interesting and I do want to talk about but that's also why I want to put it off because I want to try and do a good job of it and I can't do that right now.
Anno
>>590155 isn't all physics highly relative though? that's like the least objective thing ever
Yeah, I was out. I think I'll be around a lot more now, the gist of it as I was going after someone and it didn't go well. So sorry for my flaky period.
This fucking pirate island's side quests all involve no monetary reward so far. So much for getting the 15,000 drachmae I need for Xenia from it. Good thing I already have it anyway.
>>590177 Fish said she didn't hear back about that question so I settled that topic. She shouldn't bother you with uncomfortable stuff like that again. Good to hear you're doing pretty okay.
>>590176 The game was good, is what you're saying?
Oh yeah, I was going to message her about it last night but didn't get back in for anime. I forgot she was going to be home so soon. Apologize to her for my being slow for me.
>>590179 It's probably fine, she fell asleep before I even got home. She probably wouldn't have seen it. She was so asleep I couldn't even wake her when I got home.
>>590220 i'm pretty tired too fish was asleep when i got home so i ended up just going to bed and then she woke up at like 2am and freaked out and woke me up so i only got like two or three hours of sleep i got some more after that but it was hard to go back to sleep with all the excitement haha
I might have to take naps at work or school or something She's so excitable right now i've never seen someone get so excited to do laundry I need to make sure she takes it easy but it's going to be hard considering monday and wednesday are basically 12 hour days for me
I think I'll like it more on a rewatch. You might remember that I thought a lot of the episodes were boring the first time I watched it. back when it was airing
fish and i are watchin tv and some psychologist in this show diagnosed a 10 year old with borderline personality disorder and i'm trying not to lose my god damn mind and ruin our relaxing time
>>590241 Although actually I have a friend who was diagnosed with bpd like the day he became old enough to get it as a diagnosis. His psych knew he had it but couldn't really diagnose him with it until he was old enough.
>kid: my parents were mostly mad at me >psychologist: and then they died and there were things you didn't learn you are the worst fucking psychologist she's telling the kid how he's feeling too
I hope that one day I can have the composure of this chick when my clients are trying to kill me.
A client tried to hit me two weeks ago but I just blocked him and recommended him for treatment 90% of the people i do psychological evaluations on are people who are fresh out of prison
Bismarck wasn't quite as experienced as Hibiki, though. Hibiki was one of the most experienced ships by the time she got dismantled. Served the Japs and the Russians, if you catch my drift.
I was thinking I wanted to play it again, so it coming out for PC is nice. My PS4 sounds like an aircraft taking off these days. I think I need to figure out how to open it and clean it.

It was getting pretty cold here for a while now. But my house turned its heat on so I don't notice much for the time being. I imagine when winter hits properly nights will be miserable as the usual.
>>590528 it has been bitterly cold here too today this is a stone house so it seems to stay cooler for some reason and insulate a bit less i have to keep a space heater running in my tiny room to keep it warm-ish but it's still freezing it would have been really difficult to work today if i had work to do

I have been wrapped up in my blanket trying to finish off this essay in time. my organisations suck.
the cold chill makes my bones ache a little worse and makes my fingers a little more stiff i really dont know how im gonna work through the winter in these conditions
Kannagi
I've had an on and off condition of not knowing that I'm cold until I get sick or notice I'm shivering, I really should get into the habit of turning the heating on so I don't feel shit. I hope shit improves for you moon. the cold can be refreshing but it can really feel crippling when its so cold
>>590584 My bones are fortunately good enough to not get achey yet. But the cold does make my fingers a little uncooperative. More than that I got to constantly put them under my thighs or wrap them around something like a hot cup of tea because the cold makes it so distracting.
Kannagi
I have 600 words to write and submit in like an hour. I have the worst planning. why did I do this
Tonight's the first night of the year I'm using the electric blanket. Will sleep well tonight.
Anno
I think a heated blanket on all night would make things way too hot for me, I generate a fair bit of core heat. But I would sure like something like that to heat my bed before I get into it at night. My bed gets really cold over the course of the night.
i like it to be super cold when I sleep so I usually don't use heaters or anything I think getting an electric blanket to warm up the bed before I get in would be nice though gettig // gettig omg this keyboard is broken getting in is and waitig for it to warm up is the hardest part
Anno
I crave heat and warmth. I generate a lot of core heat but it never seems to spread throughout my body well. So if I'm not in a warm environment when I fall asleep I invariably wake up cold.
how come hot blooded is a compliment but cold blooded is an insut
Anno
this keyboard is gross

>>590648 Because humans are hot, or well more like warm-blooded creatures and to suggest one is cold-blooded is insinuating they're like a reptile or other non-human creature.

There was a girl on the subway who met eyes and smiled and waved at me on my trip in to class tonight. Thing is I have absolutely no idea who she is. If she was another student in my class tonight she really ought to have beaten me to the classroom, but she's not here. So I don't know where she knows me from. I feel kind of bad about it.
The season's been really kicking in the past few weeks here. Leaves all over the ground, the earth's cold underfoot pretty much all day long now. Winter's coming and I hate it.
You might remember there was a man in my program that had been hitting on me which made me uncomfortable. He kept calling me handsome and trying to get me to come over to his house.
It was really good! It got me all emotional at the end.
I hope you're feeling a little less stressed now.
Anno
I don't know if the stress quantity has gone down but I've desensitized to it a bit. I'm also pretty sure now I'm going to have to get in touch during office hours with the professor for my problem class.
And I'm considering contacting my university's therapy service to see if they might be of help for my head problems. Anything more serious than that would be an expense, since unfortunately universal healthcare doesn't cover mental health.

She's a dreadful actual Nazi of a woman who caught the limelight by using the standard contemporary Nazi technique of being so noisy, belligerent, and offensive that the news can't help but give her attention. Fortunately she caught so few of the actual votes that she's not even her own cut of the vote breakdown and is just lumped in with other. But apparently she got 20-25% of the vote in one particular district though, so that's concerning.
i woke up and then i got fish up and made her get somewhere safe in a frenzy but then it turned out to just be some kid or something so now i feel embarrassed for freaking out it almost would have been better if it were something dangerous haha
