outfit that says "you can't tell me what to do" and body language that screams "god please Mistress tell me what to do"

there's a special kind of glee derived from referring to your pet's collar as their clothes

Me, searching the house for the dog's collars, so they can go to doggy daycare: WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS? YOU CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL WITHOUT PANTS.

Taking the collar off for any reason: Ooooh, you're nakey now!

This also goes the other direction that taking off my collar makes me feel nakey and any time I forget it and realise I gasp and clutch my throat like I've walked out of the house in my underwear

on the one tentacle, as a clothing fetishist id really rather you left all of it on. on the second tentacle, as a skin fetishist I would really like to touch you down there so maybe you can leave it on but I'll grope you beneath it. on the third tentacle, as a dress up fetishist I'm actually okay with you taking the clothes off as long as you're then putting things on that I tell you to put on. on the fourth tentacle, as an embarrassment fetishist I'm really just inclined towards whatever makes you most uncomfortable which does give some value to the naked body. and the rest of my tentacles are just gonna stick to touching you unless I think of more things to consider.

The other problem is that I was friends with enough people in college who went on to be hacktivists that my knee-jerk reaction to anybody trying to impose restrictions on distributing software (or information of any kind) is to start yelling "INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE" and "FREE AS IN FREEDOM" and I'm aware that this is not universally 100% always the best idea. However.

"Fable 5 is too dangerous to release without guardrails" okay but have you considered that Zero Cool crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day, biggest crash in history, front page New York Times, August 10th, 1988?

the only way to stop a bad guy with a basilisk is a good guy with a basilisk

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

The problem is that if you approach the question from any reasonable angle, humans don't have free will either. But I try not to let that bother me lol

Most of the time, all this means is that someone is using a bad definition of free will.

Genuinely curious what do you think is a good definition of free will? I have not read much philosophy but I keep seeing people try to invoke quantum mechanics and that's very obviously nonsense...

I'd say it's one of those concepts best explained by Engels - sufficient quantity (or complexity) giving rise to a new quality. A part of it is, I think, a system with free will is one that we can't predict the states of, since it's of the same order of complexity as our own minds.

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

can we please be kinder to people who are aware they have delusions but still believe they're real. thanks guys.
