Fairly certain that it’s gonna be a CFO of like… A car company. Within the realm of sovcit stuff, I find this one to be rather coherent, but maybe I’ve just been reading these for too long. He’s basically saying: in order to pay the “John Doe” debt, grab the money from the super special secret money account of “JOHN DOE”, and do that every month until it’s paid off. Relatively normal stuff, except that he should probably be asking the credit department instead of the CFO, and also that the super secret money account never existed.
This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that “science isn’t truth, it’s the search for truth”, and “if you disagree it’s not a disagreement, you’re just wrong” is internally inconsistent.
While I do agree with what you’re saying, and it’s a way of reading it I hadn’t considered, I don’t think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it’s just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.
It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).
Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I’ll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don’t want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven’t decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason
The universe kinda becomes like a god. All that energy and vibe stuff is like a way of praying. It’s all about faith, not really backed by evidence....
To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.
It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)
OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.
I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak
I don’t know anything about Archer (what was his destiny thing?), but I like what they’ve done with Pike. His knowing how he’s going to die (more or less) doesn’t change his competency as a captain, imo, just gives him some pretty good personal issues to grapple with, in a pretty Trekkie way.
So, I looked through the fallacies on this page: iep.utm.edu/fallacy/I couldn’t find any that exactly matched what you’re talking about (Your participation in the system implies your assent to the system) but I did find Tu Quoque (Your argument is invalid because you do the thing you’re arguing against), which is pretty close (Edit: your to you’re)
I just checked. The comment section of that video really is nothing but anti-Semitic comments, with a Kirby coat of paint. Enjoy, I guess? m.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY
