I'm not sure what happened but YouTube is now recommending real actual fascism (like no exaggerations) channels to me now. What happened to the pipeline? I don't even watch Jordan Peterson or any of these freaks. They're just going to shove real fascism into people's faces now, skipping all the steps?
They suggest any of that crap to me and I permanently block them forever. Same for conspiracy theorists, religious nutjobs and other anti-LGBTQ people, and Conservatives and other far-right extremists.
@Fionnbharr Do you remember a Ukrianian music video we were looking at where it was three or four women and they had flowers in their hair and it kinda had pagan-vibes. Was filmed in the daytime. You know what I mean?
According to the ISW, the casualty ratio in northern Kharkov is now 8 Russians to 1 Ukrainian. 😂 Fuckers, go home. I guess this explains the renewed interest in terrorism though.
Why do you think that aggression is so tightly associated with frustration? This does not seem like an adaptive response, despite being widely cross-cultural.
Okay, I finished reading the Majjhima Nikāya this morning. That means I'm approximately half way done with the Pali Canon of #Buddhism I started in October. Next up is the Samyutta Nikāya, which academics say is the oldest layer in the collection.
@apodoxus The Samyutta Nikaya (Connected discourses) is probably best done as ~x number of pages per day if you want to have some target. As you say, the length varies greatly.
Or you might just pick a length of time.
You can also skip over long suttas on days you don't have much time and come back to them later. Those post-it type flags work great for that.
@ReadingFaithfully_org Alright, this is smart. I will go with this, based on time. Perfect. Thank you. That was helpful. I didn't think of it myself! I'll take a look at your post.
If you're arguing with someone then you're trying to convince them of something. If you're trying to convince them of something, then you're deferring to their judgement. If you don't have a reason to defer to their judgement, then this is just a form of approval-seeking and you're wasting your time.
FUCK #PulseAudio. I just replaced it with #PipeWire which worked immediately. Absolutely done with PA and it's fucking insane bugs and weird weird weird shit forever. Didn't even need to have to do anything with PipeWire. It just worked out of the box. Magic. Hope it stays this way. Cross your fingers. Fuck I miss ALSA days. That shit was easy.
