- Comment on These shipping tape things 18 hours ago:
If you don't have the tape facing the wrong direction, it should work effortlessly. Many fail to understand the razor and plastic shield mechanism that leverages tension to make a clean tear tho. The tape can melt and be tough to use. You could also have a low quality item technically but even cheap ones are fairly manageable for a while

For me this was philosophy which is the opposite of convenient or helpful especially in our current era. It led to me consistently blundering my way forward but it serving as an initial point is the critical lesson to be learned, I think. - Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:

You have impressed me yet again tho--if you ever seriously engage with Marx's inspirations, please return with how your views changed on this very core Hegel quote. Until then, I hope you find peace:D

It's a sloppy rework of a Hegel quote--you have my most favorite lemmy comment prole:
I really love the beauty of a prole calling a hegel quote the dumbest thing ever in any context.But if you wanted a serious answer, yes--Doesn't any modern worthwhile philosopher have to engage with Hegel's thought in some dimension?

I 100% believe you about your hardships--I don't deny the truth of any of your very real and serious struggles.
I've only encountered a single trans person irl, and it was a pretty bad experience for me because I was their assigned supervisor that ended up being the one having to deal with a lot of hormonal mood-swings during and after the transition wreaking havoc on team morale. I could let this one bad experience permanently tilt my outlook in much the same way you have with your unfortunate job/boss experiences. It would be emotionally easy and arguably reasonable to do so, but I refuse because I believe staying open-minded is critically important to growth and development.I never said I didn't believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.

It's exceptionally reasonable, but if you look up to see zebras you're going to feel a bit silly, right? I don't really know what you're getting at, but only because I'm not seeing where specifically you engaged with anything I said
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
but if that's the usual for non-trans too, do you think maybe the wrong excuses are being targeted?
I really think the whole job structure itself needs a rework personally. The job hunt grind is debilitating emotionally tho--I fully understand the frustration/outrage it induces consistently - Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 3 weeks ago:

I'm exaggerating with the explicit 'need' word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn't even get a conclusion to one of the assassin's creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I'm basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we're creating

do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don't really like encouraging stuff like DLC's if avoidable

It's always hegel. It's always a fundamental impossibility that exists in everything. Has there really been 0 philosophers of any merit since Hegelian dialectics?

Do you really not see an issue with the approach being taken here? You're looking for resources that you assume will help you, but in the spirit of the matrix movies, "You can't see past the decisions you haven't made yet."
The brain hasn't evolved to retain information it doesn't deem useful. I guess what I'm really getting at is, how can you be confident that anything supplied here will be retained if you were previously unaware you even needed to know in the first place? Don't underestimate the value of deep learning via experience rather than preparation imho. I promise I'm not shade-throwing, I was much like you when I was younger and have a couple similar reddeet posts, and it was mostly wasteful preparing to prepare nonsense if that makes sense.
