How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
You, yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddie.
Awwwww… There's always room for a bit of pud
free wii
hell yeah super mario galaxy time
i need to actually give that one an honest chance. i only ever tried it when it was new in front of my wee one. who's now a teenager.
i haven't beaten a mainline mario since i lost my memory card in the middle of sunshine! 😭 i was about as old as my kid is now!
Free Willy
You're paying for it?
The idea of free will is just a tool of tyranny. That's the excuse they can use to persecute everyone who doesn't "choose" to do the "right" thing. What the "right" thing is depends entirely on the cultural sensibilities of the time.
Do you have insomnia or do you just "choose" to be lazy.
Are you an alcoholic or do you just "choose" to drink.
Do you genuinely enjoy exercise or do you "choose" to do it?
Do you just value family or do you "choose" to prioritize it.
You will always do the best damn thing that's available to you and arbitrarily it's either vice or virtue.
There but for the grace of god go I.
Even if free will is an illusion, its best to teach it. Otherwise you'll have people going its not my fault I killed my father. I was prophesied to do so.
I don't know. To me agency and free will feel pretty separate. Events are necessitated by the past and the laws of the universe. But us choosing to do something is a part of that, and so are our values. I'm not sure if I would act any different if I believed in Compatibilism or free will, but I don't think I would. How would life be any different?
Unless you're getting determinism mixed up with pre-destination
Nope.
I have absolutely 0 desire to harm anyone. I don't believe in free will... i don't even experience myself as having it. But I have absolutely no true desire to hurt anyone. Maybe sometimes I get upset and I wanna tear someone a new one but i would never actually harm anyone. It's just a passing feeling.
But yeah, that other guy maybe did kill someone. But correct it ain't their "fault". Because there's no such damn thing as fault. However there are CONSEQUENCES. Maybe that kid got bullied, they were alone, and the consequence is they shot up the school. I don't need fault to recognize yeah that ain't a good thing. i can just recognize a potential chain of events and ask oh hey maybe fucking let's do something to address mental health issues BEFORE people get hurt. Because the consequence of that just might be less shot up schools. Or maybe someone actually did get born with a brain unlike mine that just is cool with hurting other people. Let's find a way to address that. I don't need to hate that person but I can say, yeah, maybe don't let them around other people in the interest of the well-being of majority. give them as humane life as possible but don't give them the opportunity to hurt others. That's all. Fault has fuck all do with any of it. Like I said, just a tool of tyranny.
Ah yes, just as one chooses to be gay or houseless. /s
Whether or not free will exists is a fine philosophical debate but teaching it would be akin to doing the same with religion in school. Fine as part of a college course but not for primary.
I don't know what Will did, but I think he should be freed too.
It's a typo on the post, the movie is about Willy.
Which is also free.
My cousin freed Willy at the family get together last year and boy was Aunt Marge upset. Those mashed potatoes were practically inedible!
And the less said about the cream corn the better
Does a poor person have the same free will as a rich person?
Does a rat trapped in a maze have free will?
Does a veal calf have free will?
Freedom no, that's not a binary state.
Free will? Yes. They have the capacity to react to their environment. The veal cow's sadness and suffering are evidence of the free will to react.
This is a "a tree falls in the forest" type of bitching.
Do you, yes you the commenter, have free will while you are sleeping?
I mean, you gotta ask this unironically
Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to be in the meat grinder. It would imbue concrete purpose. Head first though. That'd be nicer.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.
Will has been locked up too long!
Much like a Telltale video game, your really bad choices lead to game overs, while all your good choices lead to pretty much the same place.
I am 14 and this is deep kind of shit...
I don't get what the indoctrination in the wall has to do with free will?
Imperialism pointed inward is a huge part of the setting at very least.
Damn i need to watch that again.
Freedom comes with accountability. As an adult you’re free to make your own choices. But not all choices are good choices.
The idea of freedom without accountability is something reserved for childhood.
