@PaulSkallas It still points to "this is that guy's child", there's something very democratic to that convention compared to the aristocratic lineage naming. Iceland also had what one might call the first precursor to a modern parliament, perhaps interestingly.
@Logo_Daedalus Paradise comes from the Persian pairidaeza, diz has the same root as the English word dough. We took it from the earth to the heavens. Our first usage of the word in western literature is through Xenophon where we have the story of King Cyrus' garden.
@millerman I know quite a few psychoanalytics that have found Buddhism, there's an interesting resonance, with Lacan's work being described as creating spiritual exercices
@guilherme94jose On the Silver Globe, a bunch of verbose philosophical dialogue, a nonsensical unfinished plot and some one of the most memorable worlds ever created on film
@caboosethebard Please go read a bit about Switzerland, don't make me pull up an AI page to thoroughly debunk your ridiculous tirade, anyway this is tiring.
@caboosethebard we pay fees for all digital storage which directly goes to artists and creators, making your argument moot as we give effectively more than streaming with this.
And it's just a legitimate opinion that Hunger Games is not serious art and that nobody is missing such movies.
@caboosethebard No you're doing the communism argument for one of the most unimportant commodities in society, which is movie in physical media, and in my new country of residence it isn't illegal, it is not considered theft, so your whole argument falls apart. I just said torrent it you got mad
@caboosethebard Try giving money to actual art like Nostos Il Ritorno, you won't be able to. Or maybe Stalker, where most of the crew died in reaction to the radiation on the set? Good movies seem to be thriving, and they're not the Hunger Games /Star Wars movies without soul.
@caboosethebard I'm not on a mighty horse unlike you, I actually put my money towards owning capital and the only media that I buy is going at live events and buying used books, and that good old "if everyone did that" rhetoric has been used all throughout history, and this is Hunger Games lmao
@caboosethebard Sometimes the creators will get no profit from this they've already been payed its the big guys getting the profit. Don't worry, I just use my money more intelligently to support my community, buying physical media that will one day stop to work isn't high on my list.
@Empty_America I take care of people's spiritual needs in hospitals, help doctors and nurses cope with hardship, speak about meaning, value, transcendance and identity in a way that might help the patients' healing plan or their last moments. Emotionally grueling, but eternally gratifying.
@BreatheLesss If you're really determined to spend a day in the act of walking like a pilgrim, which is one of the most peaceful human activities for the mind, you'll do 20k without counting, and maybe even 30k (helps if you're somewhere beautiful, but you can do it anywhere).
