You could also say least bad is not necessarily bad. It's a platitude.

Oooh that's really neat, thank you!

Can you elaborate on the feature you're referencing? I'm currently looking at getting a new e-reader and am specifically debating between the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra 2.

I saw you mentioned using a Kobo eink device. Is that what you would recommend? It seems the 11th gen Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Libra 2 are pretty comparable. I'd like to support a non-Amazon product, but it also looks like I can get

I've seen plenty of other Ghibli films and thought I knew what to expect from Pom Poko, but it was quite a surprise experience. Definitely wild. I need to watch it again!

I think it's fair to say it's not anime, but if you were to recommend the show to someone and give a brief description or comparison, I think it definitely shares more stylistic elements with anime than it does with other cartoon

Yeah that's what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear!

I checked out your app because I've been wanting something like it but hadn't bothered looking at what was out there yet. Looks great! One thing I noticed though is that both barbell weight customization and plate customization is

I imagine microsoft.com received quite a bit of direct traffic last Tuesday when preorders opened for the next Xbox consoles. Also, .NET Framework, .NET Core, Entity Framework, Entity Framework Core, and Azure documentation is all hosted at

I would think in that setup you'd have to have it such that you subscribing for another person would not guarantee that another person would subscribe for you. In other words, some people subscribing for others would not receive a subs

Thanks for taking the time to write about so many of your thoughts! I used to be atheist when growing up, but over time I've become agnostic. I'm not sure that's even really the best term for how I feel and what I believe, bu

Thanks for mentioning Locke's substances. It sounds like quite an intriguing idea. I have not read nearly as much philosophy as I would like, and that gives me a great indication of where to look when I pursue reading more of it.

I agree, the fact that we can observe so much order in the universe through math, physics, and chemistry leaves me with a feeling that there must be some reason such order exists. I don't know if that necessarily translates to the exis

Woefully incapable indeed. But at the same time, the inability to know or understand the entire nature of our universe creates an eternal, enchanting mystery, and drives our search for meaning in life. I find it romantic.

Thank you for sharing that. I understand completely.

I've had a lot of thoughts similar to yours. I especially wonder about the linear qualities we often attribute to life and death, and potentially rebirth. We often assume that if we are somehow reborn, it will be in the future. But wha

I think if you were to believe in becoming someone or something once again, then yes, like your memories, your consciousness would be gone. I think this because I think your consciousness is inherently tied to how you sense the universe and

When you start thinking this way, about what defines your "being," you have to decide what you want to believe. If you believe in the possibility of "waking up" again, then you arrive at the conclusion that you must have

I'm turning 30 this year and I still feel anxious about death every once in a while when I think about it. But I think usually my anxiety stems not from death itself, but what it means for the life I am experiencing right now. It means

by aschismatic 6y ago
I think that is the whole point. Why fear the big nothingness if it's not possible to experience it? Just like how it's impossible to experience or remember anything before you became alive. I find it comforting to realize that I

> Of course, when I am dead, I will not fear death. That is not much consolation. I see what you mean. What is it about death you fear? I think for these things, like starvation, loneliness, and dying, I don't fear them inherently,

You say that with such confidence, yet at one point you did not exist, and now you do. Who's to say we won't one day exist again in some form?

by aschismatic 6y ago
I think it really depends on what definition of death we are talking about. If it's the act of dying, I can understand the comparisons to starvation and loneliness, because you are still alive and are actively experiencing death, starv

I first took a look at Tailwind CSS a year ago and liked it. However, when I started using its flexbox classes I noticed it was missing one for align-content: space-between (or space-evenly, I can't recall precisely). Thankfully it loo

I just started playing Half-Life for the first time a few days ago. Would you recommend playing Black Mesa in lieu of Half-Life, or in addition to it?

That's a pretty good point. Thank you.

What are your favorite alternatives to stay in tune with what's happening now? I browse r/all multiple times daily for a bit. I don't get a lot of need-to-know information from it, but some things I like to see are movie trai

Those are all great point, regarding portability, battery life, etc. It's easy to get caught up in the technical specs on paper and ignore the tangible differences. The Radeon RX 5500M is definitely on my watch list in addition to the
