Oh yeah,
I read The Stranger/Outsider the other day and I was wondering whether consenting to death could be seen as akin to suicide just because in such cases you actively consent to the taking of your life. So in the book, Mersault could have to lied and said he did regret the killing or feel extreme greif after the passing of his mother. Is it because he was dying for the truth and because through...

I have become to accustomed to writing critical essays about the Law, Psychology or Philo, that I can’t even formulate the structure of a Literature essay where I just explore themes and concepts. I have this inclination to write ‘this is absurd’ and then launch into an attack after every point.

I really dislike Descartes apparent dismissal of the senses, because he didn’t dismiss them at all. He says that the senses can deceive us since, using the classic example a stick appears in water to be bent even though it isn’t, thus we should distrust the senses, according to him. But how does he know that the stick isn’t actually bent? He has already trusted the senses prior...

I need to be able to make tea easier.
But I would also need a sink and tea supplies.
Essentially, I want to live in a kitchen.

I really wish that I liked The Weeknd but there’s just something about his voice that puts me off, everything else though I like. There are just some strange nuances when he sings that throw the whole song off. And being a person that listens to music purely for the surface appearance i.e. how it sounds it’s really off putting. It’s like he’s straining most of the time or...

I wish that my mother would inform me before she goes out of the city just so I can be aware of if I need to make food or stuff like that. She just goes away and shit and you think she’s just gone out on the night or to work or something but then she doesn’t return for like 2 days and then is all like ‘oh hi’.

Just hit me that Neon Genesis and Soul Eater are the only two anime I’ve watched that don’t have annoying female characters that try to fuck up the plans and make me want to strangle myself.

I’m eagerly waiting till you get to around the middle of the series. I’m so very much waiting for it. Also, once you’re done with Evangelion, watch RahXephon: it’s Evangelion light.

So, Neon Genesis?
I’m guessing that the Eva’s are meant to represent Eve. The first Angel from the second impact is Adam that they have cooped up and are trying to re-grow for some reason and the rest are born of Adam and the reason the Eva’s can defeat the Angels is because they’re equal in strength, they said that the Eva’s were made from something from the first impact so I’m...

Zankoku no Teze (Cruel Angel’s Thesis) is one of the most iconic anime OPs of all time. You can find entire 30 track CDs of it. Also, have you gotten to “Both of you, dance like you want to win,” yet? The Shinji Asuka tag team is epic.
Oh man. I am definitely going to look for that. And no I don’t...

I hate, hate, hate Descartes. His mind/body dualism make my entire project hard for western philosophy. I might avoid treating phil of religion as trying to convince you but take note of the weakness in the argument for later use. That’s what I did.

onesmartblackboy asked: Damn. I feel yo pain. I'm taking philosophy of religion this semester too. Was initially trying to avoid it, for those very same reasons you mentioned. Like ugh, "I already know where they stand and where I stand and why; sure I can explore the history of it all some more, but I don't want to have to take exams and write essays about it." But it was one of the few philosophy...

Philosophy of religion has got to be my least favourite aspect of Philosophy. Ugh. Unless we’re discussing the content of each religion or arguments for Gods I just really don’t care. Most of the time it’s just recycled arguments about whether religion points to anything real in the world and if it can be verified/falsified or whether it’s just about faith and is...

The guy in my Philosophy class has furthered most of the classes dislike for him with his comments today. Usually whenever he opens his mouth everyone just rolls their eyes and ignores him but today the teacher said something about how Wittgenstein’s sexuality affected his life and he was all like ‘yeah well he should have just snapped out of it, it’s disgusting, why would he do...
absurdreasoning:
I need stimulation, some fake sense of purpose. Listlessness permeates the walls around me, while I while away countless hours doing productive nothingness. I don’t care what it is, fuck I don’t even care if it’s horrible, gut wrenching, painful heartbreak. At least I’d care, at least I’d feel something… right?

anoninfowarfare:
Now that the UK has decided its fine and dandy to censor websites because they might help someone somewhere find some infringing content, they continue to try to broaden that censorship ability. The latest target, not surprisingly, is The Pirate Bay, who is likely to be blocked following a ruling that slams the site for failing to make any efforts to stop infringement (though,...

working as a MD on a Glee-inspired show with a youth amateur theatre school, and picked “Poor Unfortunate Souls” as the solo song for Sue. It’s so damn perfect for her character.
I also have Sue and Will duetting on “What Is This Feeling? (Loathing)” from Wicked as well.
Yes. This is good stuff....

Someone explain why Glee has not done a Disney episode yet? I think it’s long overdue now and it would be sooo good. Sue could sing Poor unfortunate souls for when she’s tormenting the Glee crew, Artie could sing ‘can’t wait to be king’ or ‘go the distance’, Mercedes could sing ‘won’t say I’m in love’ about Sam, Rachel could sing...

Typically yes. I have waited and seen people wait lol it’s just how it goes. Thats why guys here are perplexed why places even get three urinals w/o dividers. Just get two w/dividers and save some money or get three w/dividers.

over here the urinals have dividers a lot of time. If they dont have dividers the etiquette is usually one urinal must separate two peeing guys.
Ah that makes sense then. It must just be a British thing. So what if there are only 3 urinals and there are two guys occupying the outer ones? Do you wait for...

I find it so interesting that a topic for some feminists is the signs on public bathroom doors, but no one ever brings up the bathrooms themselves, the structure of them. Do you not find it interesting that men are just expected to go into the bathroom and get their dicks out at a urinal in front of everyone and women have these cubicles where they’re partitoned off from each other....

I don’t think I was made for the Dostoevskyian? novel. I probably should have started with Crime and Punishment since that’s regarded as his best, but I’m reading The Idiot and I’m enjoying it, but I think I’d enjoy it far more as a period drama. Same with Great Expectations or Pride and Prejudice, they’re stories I prefer to watch adaptations of as opposed to...
